Good Primer

I have tried shades greed and sin and I love them both! I think that this primer is very good and true to its primer expectations. It gives lasting power of all day and prevents creasing while also making the colors pop. This really is my trusty eye primer as it is a must for when I apply eyeshadow. Another thing is the shades! Since the shades I have are shimmery and beautiful colors, I sometimes apply this all over my lid and add just eyeliner with no eyeshadow. This gives me a nice shimmery color to go with my basic winged liner without having to apply eyshadow. There it is, an eye shadow and liner look all in one! The only con I have to say is that it can be a bit tough washing it off my hand since I put some on the back of my hand then apply with my fingertips. If I forget to do so I end up walking around with a gold mark on my hand, but I dont mind it too much!

Good and affordable

I loove this pressed powder! I find that its perfect for setting making and maintaining a matte finish. But I feel that this powder is better for normal to oily skin types because of fine texture and mattifying purpose. Occasionally I will get dry spots on my face and whenever I use this powder to set my makeup, it highlights those dry areas and becomes flaky. Also I find that this powder is only useful for as a setting powder over foundation nd concealer because on its own, it doesn't do much in controling oil and shine. Whenever I wear only a concealer and this powder all over my face, it looks good until a few hours later and then my face gets super oily. So I feel that for drier skin types, you should be very light when using this to set your makeup and be sure to moisturize well if you really want to use this. For normal to oily skin types, I feel it may work, just probably not on its own over a bare face as it may not control shine and oil. Overall it is a good and basic product for its price.

Full coverage but heavy

This is a good foundation for anyone looking for a full coverage foundation and doesn't mind the feel of it. It is very thick and dries out to a matte finish. Unfortunately for me it tends to look cakey, even with the smallest amount and at times, it set so quickly that it was hard to blend in certain areas. Because this is a matte foundation, I do not recommend it for people with dry skin as it can look flaky and patchy in dry areas. But overall this is definitely a good foundation for someone with normal to oily skin looking for a full coverage.

holy grail mascara

This mascara is my hg mascara! I recommend this product to anyone looking for a mascara that gives you voluminous lashes because that is what I use it for. Although it has two brushes, one for length and one of volume, I really only use the brush for volume unless I need the lengthening brush for removing clumps. Because this mascara is a bit more expensive than the other MAC mascaras, I would recommend finding a different one that will cater to your specific needs in a mascara. For example if you are looking for a volumizing mascara you should look for a cheaper one that will give you that effect & vice versa. But if you want a mascara with both features then I highly recommend this one!

Great, but a little drying

I am a huge fan of MAC lipsticks! Personally, I prefer the matte shades over the other finishes. Although my favorite 2 from MAC are Diva & Ruby woo, I find that after a while they tend to dry out. They are definitely rich and beautiful shades with great lasting power, but they really do feel very dry after a few hours so make sure to moisturize well before applying.
