Beauty Product Reviews

Best I've found so far.

This is the best match for my very fair skin that I've found so far. It still doesn't match perfectly, so I hope they will release a few different shades soon. The tone is still a little too dark but I don't really think it's noticeable to anyone but me.

The main reason why I have fallen in love with this is because it does not oxidize and darken like most other foundations do on me. Believe me, I've tried plenty of light foundations before. I'll find one that seems to match my skin perfectly but about 10-20 minutes after application they will oxidize, which darkens the foundation and gives it an orange tint.

Thankfully I have no problems with oxidization with this foundation at all.

Perfect!

Absolutely love this product. I have very very flat lashes that really won't hold a curl unless I use a waterproof mascara. This mascara holds the curl for me all day, it doesn't fade or flake. It lengthens a tiny bit and does add quite a bit of volume when you wiggle the wand around the base of your lashes.

Amazing in the color Blonde.

They don't have the shade I use listed here but this product is amazing to me. I have been using the shade Blonde for the last 2 years and I swear by it. It's the perfect color and tone for my reddish/copper/blonde hair. Not too waxy or dry. Stays all day long. I use this with the Essence clear brow and mascara gel.

Does the job.

I use this as a brow gel and it does the job perfectly. It's cheap and seems to last all day for me. I have no clue why some people have the need to spend $16+ on a clear brow gel that does the same job as this product or even just hair spray spritzed onto a clean eyebrow spoolie. I use this with the Essence Brow pencil in blonde.

Cheap and lasts ALL DAY!

First things first: This is so cheap! I think I spent about $3 on this gel liner and I love it. It lasts all day long with no smudging or fading. I've used it on my waterline and it caused me no irritation at all.

There are only two things that could be considered "cons" but I think that they are just normal problems for gel liners. 1. It can dry out really fast if you don't make sure that you screw that lid on super tight. 2. It is hard to remove. Make sure you have a good makeup remover because water will not be working to take this off.

New Formula? Super Shiny

I used to absolutely love this product and especially the Fit Me! line. I've been using the powder off and on for a few years and it was always a very nice light powder that didn't cake or cling to dry patches. It wasn't until maybe my fifth purchase of the powder that I noticed tiny little flicks of shimmer in the powder. They were small and very few in numbers and didn't really show up on the skin so it was no problem for me at first. But it seems that every time I repurchase there are more and more shimmer in the powder. It went from just a like dewiness to extreme shine. This last compact I bought has so much shimmer, it even gets all over my hands and clothes after I try and use it. My face ends up looking super shiny and it seems to bring out any and all imperfections. I don't know if this last compact I got was a reject or if they've started adding a lot more shimmer. It's seriously looks like I took a super shimmery highlighter and just used it as a face powder. Attached is a swatch of Fit Me! pressed powder of 115 Ivory. The powder applied almost colorless to my hand so what you see is the shimmer. So so shiny =[

Nice

I LOVE the smell of this product, it's very fresh and not at all over powering. Used with the conditioner it leaves my hair soft and shiny. I can't say much about it actually being volumizimg though.

I hate to write a bad review

When I picked this mascara up I really had my fingers crossed. I hardly ever stray from my Lash Blast but the price tag on this was only about $2 compared to around $6-7 so I was hopeful.

The first thing I noticed while I was still in the store was the tiny, thin brush. I've never had good luck with thin mascara wands. It seems like it takes twice the coats to get the color evenly distributed.

The next thing I noticed was when I first opened the tube and that was the smell, very powerful. Not that I've ever found a scentless mascara but usually it fades away but I smelled this mascara almost throughout the whole day (that may be because the product didn't ever really seem to dry.)

I choked past the smell and continued. The consistency of the product was a little watery, but so is a lot of mascaras at first until they've had enough exposure to air to thicken to a good consistency. The wand held a good amount of product, I had to wipe some of back into the tube.

Application was.... Unusual. The wateryness made it very awkward. It felt like it was going to slide down and off my lashes, almost an oily feel. My lashes clumped together at first but I worked with it A LOT and got them to kinda fan out. The color was good, not too like light or to dark (I got Black).

Now for the two main reasons I'll never purchase or probably wear again: It was heavy and held no curl. I curled before I put it on and then eventually tried to again. My lashes just couldn't hold the weight of it, even though I didn't apply a large amount. It wouldn't dry. I ruined the top of my eyeshadow from trying to recurl my lashes after 10 minutes and the tips of my lashes were still wet and marked the top of my lid. When I closed my eyes my lashes would leave little bitty dots of black on my undereye. Later that day when I could stand it no longer (maybe five-six hours later) I went to remove the product and I didn't even need water or remover. It came right off as if it was freshly applied.

Horrible. It breaks my heart with all of Wet n Wilds masterpieces like some of their polishes and their liners and eyeshadows that their mascara had to flop! I still love them though!

Not so great.

I purchased the Base Coat/Top Coat about a month ago. It wasn't expensive but I won't buy it again. For me it failed as both base and top coat, which upset me because I really liked the wide brush. It covered my nails so quickly. I only had problems withy pinky because I have narrow nails and it covered almost my whole finger tip.

As a Top Coat the dry time was average. It didn't dry with a glossy shiny coat at all. It left the polish looking sort of dull to me. And then the big downer was that my nails started chipping that evening. Seriously. The same day, probably 8 hours later. I hadn't been doing anything with my hands that should have increased chipping either.

Base Coat. The product is sticky when you apply it straight on the nail like a base coat can be. It was heavy though, and kinda felt like I put glue on my finger tips, something I didn't feel when I used it as a top coat. I applied my polish and used a top coat that I know I like. Once again, even with a reliable top coat, it began peeling and chipping the same day.

Maybe it's just me but this product is disappointing. Definitely made me a sad panda.

I adore these colors! I have about 9 of the different polishes and they are awesome for the price. The formula is nice, you do have to shake them a few time while applying if you take your time between coats like me. I usually apply 2-3 coats. They dry nicely and are fairly easy to take off. I dampen a cotton call with remover and hold on nail for a few second then swipe off.

Warning! Some of the neon and dark colors can stain your nails yellow. All you need to do it soak your nails in water with a denture cleaning tablet or in a cup of lemon juice (cleaning tablet is easier in your skin though) and to keep it from happening again just apply a thin layer of clear polish or a base coat before applying!
