Love
I absolutely love this product! I don't buy high end concealers but I have tried many drugstore types. No matter how many I try and like, I always end up going back to Garnier. It's semi-liquidy and when applied it blends nicely. I kind of have dry skin under my eyes and I am always afraid for product making the dry patches stand out, but this helps cover and lighten underneath my eye and fortunately doesn't make my dry patches stand out. I wouldn't say this is 100% coverage but the coverage looks great for an everyday look. Also, the metal roller ball is nice and cool, it helps me wake up and it's very easy to apply and blend. It also seems pretty long wearing and doesn't set into fine lines. The only con I have noticed is that there isn't many color options, so it may be hard to get one that suits dark skin colors.
Beginners
I purchased this product when I first started out with makeup and it was great. You get 4 shadows and a base and illuminator for only like $5. The shadows are pretty pigmented for it's price and it's great for beginners to start out with and start makeup.
Hmmm.
This was my first ever and only big palette I own and it works pretty well. There are some shadows that aren't the most pigmented but there are some that are pigmented. You almost have every color you'll ever need. There are some shadows that are shimmer and matte and satin finish. I am satisfied with it and I don't wear colored shadows that often enough, but I cannot compare it to the Coastal Scents and the BH Cosmetics kind because I do not own it.
Worth it?
I bought this product because my lips get extremely dry quickly, so I was in need of a lip balm. I ended up getting this, I think this product has a unique shape but at the same time it's kind of hard to carry it around, especially if you only have pockets. The product smells great and tastes nice but there are others that smell and taste good as well. It mae your lips soft, but I found other lip products that work just as well, and cheaper. If you have the money, go for it. But since I need chapstick all the time it's a bit pricey for me.
Must Need!
You can never go wrong with vaseline/ petroleum jelly. You must have this around this house because this item can be used for so many things. You can use it for your lips and moisturize them. You can use them to remove tough makeup, like waterproof mascara. You can use it for diy projects, like making your own lipgloss. There's so many uses of this item, you can't say no.
Yay!
I really enjoy this product because it comes with tons of product (compared to others) and have tons of benefits for the skin. I really like this, I feel like it makes my skin look nicer but it doesn't feel like your wearing heavy foundation or anything.
Compact!
This shadow has a similar packaging look as Nars. The shadow I own is very pigmented and very soft. It's only $3 and I think it's totally a product I recommend trying at least.
Cheap!
This product is luckily cheap and at the same time, highly pigmented. These are absolutely great. I especially use the brulee shadow as a brow highlight. I need to buy more singles, but they are great! Must try them at least!
Must Buy!
I don't any high quality brushes but when I have these, I feel like I own high end brushes. The brushes are extremely soft and I love all of these brushes. This little brush set can be used for a whole face look and worth the money!
Matte...
This product is really easy to use and the formula is great but unfortunately when I apply it to the lash line it starts to sting my eye, for me (but I've tried it on others and it doesn't sting them). But the cool thing about this product is that it dries as a matte black.
