Wonderful Colour Payoff and Staying Power

I have two of these lipsticks in the shades Cheerful Cherry and Beautiful Berry (the latter of which is not listed on this site). I love both of them. The pigmentation is wonderful, they glide on smoothly, and they last quite a while before I feel like I need to reapply. The packaging is wonderful and you couldn't tell that it's a cheap product just by looking at it. The only problem I've ever had is that the mechanism that turns the bullet is slightly loose or something with my Beautiful Berry stick, because sometimes it won't turn up or (more problematically) won't turn down. But it's worth the price.

The shade in the picture is Beautiful Berry.

Good For Soft Definition

I got this trio in the shade for green eyes (black, purple, and green eyeliners). I generally use the black in my upper and lower waterlines and then I use the purple to line my upper lashes. I generally don't wear any eyeshadow for this look except for a nude to cover any veins and maybe a light brown crease colour. I find that the pigmentation of both liners are very good, and they both have decent staying power, including in my waterline. The green I use alone with minimal eyeshadow when I just want to bring out the green in my eyes. The pigmentation is not quite as good as the purple or black, but it still definitely looks green with one swipe. And it stays for a decent amount of time as well.

I just wish there was a way to sharpen them (they're fine for now but eventually they'll get down to where the stick is quite thick) and I wish you got more product.

Natural and Beautiful

I really love the peachy-pink colour this gives to my cheeks. Although, I don't feel like it lastes very long. I do like how natural it looks on the skin, though. I prefer natural-looking blush to bright and out-there blush.

If Only The Brush Were Softer...

I wear this over the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Face Powder to keep it from oxidizing and to help it stay hours longer, but I feel like the attached brush is too scratchy. I feel as though it takes some of my foundation off that I had just applied. And you can't take the brush off to access the powder in the container without making a mess. I pat the brush against my palm to deposit some of the powder and then use a kabuki brush to put brush it on my face.

However, I do like that it doesn't clog my pores or break me out. And as I said before, it does help my foundation last longer.

Natural, Breathable Coverage

This product evens out my face and covers practically any acne spots with no more than two layers. It stays on my face practically all day without the use of a primer or a setting spray (I do use the Physicians Formula Mineral Talc-Free Matte Finishing Veil) over it. If I don't use the finishing veil, it does oxidize a little, but I have no problems if I use the finishing veil. Also, just as it says it won't, it doesn't break me out at all.

Great for the price $

I got a couple of these (I forget the names of the colours, but one is a very pale pink and the other is a more magenta colour) when I was looking to update my makeup collection and when I was interested in the Hard Candy brand. I like them very much. I feel like they give a little bit of colour to my lips when I don't want them to be very dramatic. However, I wish they showed up at least a little more opaque and not so sheer, since you can't even really tell a difference between the two different colours I have when they're one.

Absolutely Love

I wanted to try this out after seeing someone use it in a tutorial video, and I do not regreat my purchase. The staying power is amazing. I use the eyelash side on days that I fill in my eyebrows, and the eyebrow side on the days that I do not. I will definitely repurchase. 5 out of 5.

Great Colour Selection

I went ahead and got this palette, because when I did my e.l.f. haul online I was able to get it free for spending so much money on the rest of the order. I do enjoy a lot of the colours in it. There are a few shades that I would normally stay away from, but I am still willing to use a good majority of the colours in the palette. I recommended this palette to my friend when she started wearing more eyeshadow, because she wasn't sure what colours would look good on her. I don't have too many problems with the eye shadow fading away or wearing off AS LONG AS I use my eye primer. If I don't use primer, I don't expect the shadow to last too terribly long. But for colour choices and price (it's only about $15 for 144 colours), I give it a 3.5 out of 5.

Love It!

I love Blistex. The entire brand. I have never used a Blistex product that I did not love. I use it in the winter to prevent my lips from being chapped. I also put it on whenever I do my makeup to make my lips nice and soft before I put on any lip gloss or lipstick. 5 out of 5.

My Go-To Powder

This was the powder that I got started on when I first started using makeup, because it's the brand that my mother uses, and I've never bothered changing. I know that other people have said that it has a weird smell, but I have never noticed any smell. I have never found it to be cakey or flaky. It doesn't have the greatest coverage, but that's what concealer is for, isn't it? This powder gives my face a nice matte finish, and I don't feel the need to reapply it throughout the day. 4 out of 5.
