good for purple lipstick collectors
I love the colour, but sadly the pigmentation isn't very strong. It's a really bright purple with a strong blue duochrome. Thankfully the duochrome is very apparent when applied, but it goes on slightly sheer. I need to use this with a lipliner to make it stand out more. It last really nicely. I'm not a huge fan of the texture because it is a bit on the dry side, not to say it dries my lips, but it's kind of pasty and acts weird when I sip from a straw or something.
The packaging is beautiful and solid. This lipstick has never just opened in my bag because of bad packaging. There isn't much scent which I really like. I get lots compliments when I wear this lipstick :). Despite it's faults, it's one of my favs. If you like bright purple lipstick, you have to have this.
WORLD CLASS BLUSH
These are so pigmented and there a quite a few colours to choose from. I use mine for more theatrical purposes and for everyday use because you can really control and adjust the way you use them. They aren't powdery and last really well on the skin. They also smell like cupcakes!... On another note, the packaging is to die for.
GO TO SOAP
I have been using this soap for years and it never disappoints. I love the rich scent. When used with a loofa it lathers up very richly and makes the bar last much longer. It always leaves me feeling clean and makes my skin super soft. Once I'm out of the shower, the scent doesn't last, which is good because I wouldn't want to smell too strong in public anyway, haha.
BRING IT BACK!
I don't understand why they discontinued this baby. I got the last one at my store, and I love it! It's what I reach for everytime when I highlight my brow bone. It's fluffy enough that it blends quick well, much like the 217, but can also deposit colour quite well. And because of it's angled shape, it's ideal for a brow highlighting brush, or for a softer cut crease look. I love this brush, even though it does stain as easily as the 217.
MAKE THESE PERMANENT ALREADY
Shadesticks need to stand aside. These babies are the future in smokey eyes. I want more of these in every colour! I don't understand why they aren't part of the consumer line yet.
HOLO EFFECT NOT STRONG ENOUGH
This collection had awesome colours, but the hologram wasn't very obvious, sadly. I've also noticed that they chip remarkable quickly. These do dry quickly and on the matte side, so you might want to try a top coat other than Seche Vite.
OPI's are better, but it's the colours that I love about these. For Audrey is one of my favs of all time, and Crushed Candy is basically For Audrey is crackle form. If you apply the coats quick thin, they work perfectly. These are good to have in a crackle collection, IMO.
NOTHING SPECIAL
Good coverage, but I do find the texture to be a bit too thick. Not the best for under-eye use. I do wish there was a larger colour range to choose from.
I had suffered many tales of woe from day creams, and this (along with clinique's youth surge) is the only one that gave me hydration, decent SPF protection, soft (not greasy) skin, and NO break out. Every moisturizer I had tried with SPF made me break out like nuts, but this one didn't.
This product also has claims to reduce hyper-pigmentation (i.e. acne scarring or sun damage), of which I had. I noticed an immediate difference after using this for just a week. Now if I get a blemish that is outstandingly red, I notice it disappear very quickly when I use this. It's pretty miraculous.
I swear by this stuff, even though it has a pretty nasty price tag.
GOOD FOR ALL AGES AND OCCASIONS
These are really fun. All the colours are great. I do wish it was a bit more moisturizing and that it would bleed a bit less, but beyond that I'm in love! The packaging is also really divine on these. Super fun!
