A staple in my makeup routine.
I can't put on my foundation without setting it with this powder. I can settle for my go-to pressed powder (Maybelline Dream Matte) but I prefer to use this loose setting powder to initially set my foundation. The whole purpose of this powder is to set your makeup and it does just that! This powder is really lightweight and really smooth. I have creases under my eyes so when I put concealer there it usual falls in between the lines but using this powder to set it prevents that from happening. It doesn't give you that white cast that some translucent powders give you so it's great for all skin tones. You definitely get what you pay for because you get SO MUCH product! Especially since you're only using just a sift of it I guarantee it will last you forever. It does mattify my face when I first apply it but it doesn't do the job all day because eventually my t-zone will start to get a little bit shiny. Then again its job isn't meant to mattify my face. Nonetheless, it's a great product. If you're looking for something to set your foundation without making your face look cakey then you'll definitely love this!
Best Eyelash Curler By Far.
I have fairly short, straight lashes. This eyelash curler gives my lashes amazing curl that lasts all day. It doesn't fall flat throughout the day and it does an amazing job at curling every single lash! It doesn't pinch or tug on my eye like some curlers I've tried before.
Removes Waterproof Mascara!
I use this product only to remove heavy eye makeup or waterproof mascara. It gets the job done effortlessly! I don't have to rub or scrub my eyes anymore because it breaks down that tough waterproof mascara in a shorter amount of time it would take a makeup wipe to do it. It has a very nice pleasant cucumber scent to it and it leaves your skin feeling refreshed.
Does Nothing For Me.
I'm not sure if the product I bought was a defect or not but it was just a horrible product. The mascara wand looked very wonky and it poked my eye several times trying to put it on. It did NOT coat my lashes! It did lengthen a little bit but my lashes still appeared very sparse and pretty sad looking. I can honestly say it did nothing for my eyelashes. This is probably one of the worst mascaras I've ever purchased and I definitely won't purchase it again.
My Everyday Eye Liner.
I use this more than my MAC Blacktrack fluidine. It's a great drugstore gel liner that lasts all day with just VERY minimal fading. I haven't hit the bottom of the jar yet but I have used quite a bit of it and it's still very creamy and glides on nicely. A lot of people think it dries quickly but I personally have no issues with it. I would definitely recommend it and repurchase again.
Good Touch Up Powder.
I bought the shade 210 which is probably a shade lighter than my normal skin tone but it worked well for me since it provides very light coverage, if any. I mainly use this for controlling my shine throughout the day. Though it's not meant to mattify your skin, it does control my shine for a little bit but I do find that I have to retouch it within a few hours. I have switched powders to my Maybelline Dream Matte Powder but I do use this from time to time. I recommend it if you're looking for a good touch up powder but if you're looking coverage, this probably won't do it for you.
I use it everyday!
So many people compliment me on my eyebrows and they always assume I'm using some high-end product or a stencil. But nope! I've been using this product for YEARS and it never fails to give me my perfect brow look. The brow powder is a perfect shade of brunette and the wax works like a charm. I've never tried any other product like it so I can't really compare it to other products but it works amazing for me and I will continue to use it as long as I keep my eyebrows this way! It's also very inexpensive and a little bit goes a long way so it lasts a good while.
Not Bad.
This has been my go-to foundation for several months now. The foundation comes in a wide range of colors. It provides medium to buildable coverage but I do find that it feels heavy on my face sometimes. At the end of the day the product has practically oxidized, revealing all my pores. It has a semi-matte finish with a little bit of dewyness to it and since I have very oily skin I have to set it with powder. I find that it lasts all day, up to 8 hours. But it doesn't look the same as the way I applied it. I've bought this foundation about 3 times already so I do think it works pretty good. I would recommend it if you want good coverage.
Pretty good.
It gives amazing color pay and it doesn't dry out my lips. It's inexpensive and comes with a huge range of colors and I find it suitable for everyone. However, I think it's way too creamy that I have to pat the lipstick on rather than glide it otherwise I'll use up the entire lipstick in one use (haha). It doesn't last very long but that doesn't bother me too much because lipstick generally doesn't last very long on my lips any way, regardless of what brand it is. Also, the packaging isn't the best quality. I've had better packaging from other drugstore brands but when it comes to color variations, it's hard to beat.
BEST. EYESHADOW. EVER.
That's all I can really say about it! I won't get into detail about the packaging or anything but the eyeshadow itself deserves more than 5 stars! It's everything you can ever want in an eyeshadow and MORE! Pigmented, opaque, smooth, long lasting.. those are just a few ways to describe them. It can be a bit pricey but it's worth every penny. It's definitely gonna be hard to beat if there were ever a makeup brand willing to compete with them!
