Best for Oily Skin!

First off, I do a lot of freelance makeup on family, friends, and even friends of friends. I personally have normal skin but a lot of my clients have combo or oily skin. This is by far the best powder I've used, for oily skin. I love using MAC mineralize skin finish natural on my clients, but I don't own too many because I'm not that rich yet, but this is such a great product for all skin colors. This is translucent and the powder is super soft and definitely keeps the oil away all day. This will give you a natural look and will make your skin look flawless. The only big downfall to this product is that it can get a little messy! The small little sifter is a little too small for my taste because I feel like I'm wasting a lot of time trying to get the product out, but if you get too much, it can be a problem. Since the powder is super fine, it can get all over the place if you're careless. If they added a couple of more sifters to the packaging, it would be a little easier for me but this product itself is amazing.

Amazing Palette!

So this was the first palette I purchased that I was really excited about! When I purchased the Naked palette, (let's be real) I bought it because of all of the rave on how good it was. I still very much do love the Naked palette, but this one is definitely better! I love the fact that it comes matte shades on top, and shimmer shades on the bottom. The neutrals in the palette can definitely work for a natural look, or you can amp it up for a great natural smokey eye. The shimmers are amazing and look absolutely stunning! The shadows are all very pigmented and super soft; a little bit of the product goes a long way. I also love the fact that it has a lot of different shades as well. The Naked palette comes with more natural brown and bronze colors, whereas this one comes with a purple and blue, so you can change up the smokey eye look's color. The fact that this comes with a mini eye primer is a thumbs up as well! The primer is very soft and very similar to Urban Decay's Primer Potion. The packaging if very very convenient because it's SUPER slim! I love that, but the downfall is the material that the case is made with. I love the material, don't get me wrong, but it gets dirty really easily. But no worries, you can clean it with makeup remover wipes, if you want to and have the time. Another thing that I'm not too fond of is that your brush can pick up a little too much product and therefore you waste product. Because of how soft the eye shadows are, you have to be extremely careful not to swirl your whole brush into it, or the shadows will just powder everywhere, leading to getting the whole palette looking like a mess, so just be careful! Last but not least, the amount of product you get for the price is great too! You are getting 16 shades of amazing high quality eye shadows, and a travel size eye primer all for only $42!! That's pretty insane once you think about it and do the math. Over all I think this palette is a little better than the Naked palette and this is definitely your one stop shop. This is the only palette you'll ever need for an everyday base.

GREAT COLOR!!

First off, this smells amazing!! Next, the color is gorgeous!!! I absolutely love it and it's great for an every day blush!! This blush also has a highlighted sheen to it which looks good sometimes(: I would've liked it better if it was a little bit more pigmented though.

WONDERFUL BRONZER!

I was so excited to try out this bronzer since so many people were raving about this product. When I finally purchased it, I gotta say, benefit has the cutest packaging ever!! Also most convenient and simple! The brush, I'm not a fan of and don't use and the product itself is pretty amazing! I love the color and I love the fact that it's matte. Not a fan of shimmery ones. Now when you first apply it, it looks amazing! But to be honest, the stain power isn't that great. If the stain power was better, I'd give it a 5 stars.

Drugstore mascaras work better!

Okay so I have super short thin asian eyelashes and I was excited to try this mascara out because it claimed to give volume to my lashes. Not at all. First of all, the brush is SUPER HUGE, much bigger than any other mascaras I've tried so its hard to get some of my lashes near the outer corner of my eye. When I applied the first coat, it literally just darkened them. It didn't volumize, or anything! I was shocked and when I applied the second coat, it volumized by just a bit. I was so disappointed. One of my favorite drugstore mascara is the L'Oreal Extra Collagen Mascara and let me tell you, that one works WAYYYYY better than this one. But don't take my word for it, since depending on your lashes, this mascara may work different. It works wonders for my friend but for me? Not so much. Invest in something better!

BEST PRIMER I'VE USED!!

My goodness let me just start by say that I have HUGE pores and didn't actually start taking care of them until someone pointed it out. I've used so many products that have claimed to minimize your pores and they've all worked okay, but my pores are still here! So I finally invested in this product after hearing SO many reviews about how amazing it is and it really is!! It DEFINITELY minimized my pores!! I love the way it feels on my skin and I love how a little goes a long way. The packaging is super cute and I love how it comes in a squeeze tube. Not only is this product good for minimizing your pores, but I definitely noticed how it made my makeup last all day even in the hot summer sweaty sun! I love it!

It's Wonderful!

When I go out to a party or so, I love using this to create a smokey eye look. Just think of this as a really big eyeliner pencil. It smudges out to create the smokey eye really good! It's very similar to a black kohl liner, or the kajal eyeliner. The color pigmentation is really wonderful too!

I love it!

I love this product. This is really great for travel, and on the go. Since it's like a three in one, you can travel lightly and also you won't have to take a separate bronzer, and blush, etc. This is also great for an everyday look. The colors are really beautiful. The only downfall to this product is that it could be a bit more pigmented.

Great Natural Looking Lashes

These are great for day & night! They are only $1 so you better stock up!! These are amazingly gorgeous and believe me, your eyes will be the center of attention! I absolutely love these lashes! The only downfall is that the glue that comes with these lashes suck, and they are a lot longer, so you have to cut them down a bit for them to fit your eyes. Other than that, they are great!

IT WORKS!

I normally don't have oily skin, but I mainly bought these because I thought they were an interesting product. When I do makeup on other people with oily skin though, I pull these out and they do the job! They pick up ALL of the oily and I'm surprised to see how much oil it picks up!! Definitely worth the buy since they are inexpensive. Love giving these to those whom I do makeup on that has oily skin and gets oily during the day as a gift so they can blot their oil away!
