Smoothes Lines on Your Lips

I can't compare this to any other lip primer since I don't have any. What I can say is I was impressed by this product because it does a great job prepping my lips for lipstick or gloss. I tend to have cracking/creasing lips, so I get build-up in the cracks. This primer smoothes over the lines, preparing my lips for the color application. Also, sometimes certain colors feather around the edges, making me look like I have chapped lips, and this product prevents that from happening.

Didn't Love It

I love Urban Decay products, but this one was a letdown. I don't have any other black cream or gel liners, so I held out for this one. After playing around with it a bit, I was disappointed. The smudger end of the brush is not soft enough to be gentle around your eyes, and the liner itself is too thick and needs to be worked with a lot glide on lids. It is nice that it comes with a mirror, but it is not very practical since it is so thin. Overall, I think you could take your angled liner brush to a 24/7 liner and get better results.

I think I bought this sharpener to make the amount for free shipping, but it ended up being a good purchases. I've had it for over 2 years, and it is still as sharp as it was when I got it. It comes with a little pick for removing excess product, but be careful with it! It is easy to lose!

A Great Companion to Waterproof Makeup

I love Urban Decay's 24/7 liners, which are waterproof, so I was in the market for a good makeup remover for waterproof makeup. Most of the time, I use Pond's remover wipes, but they don't fully remove waterproof eyeliner or mascara. I took a chance on remover, and I say that because it is fairly expensive for the amount that you get. It stinks to spend a lot of money and not be happy with the results. This remover really works, though, so it ended up being a good purchase. You need maybe a pea-sized amount for each eye, and it almost glides the makeup off. You can be super gentle and still remove all of your makeup. Also, it smells really nice! I don't like the smell of true lavender, and this product has more of a subtle hint mixed with other fragrances. I keep this in my special reserve since it is so expensive, but it is really great on hard to remove makeup.

Adds a Nice Pop to Your Look

I am a huge fan of Urban Decay products, but I was a little disappointed with these. The formula is long-lasting, which is a good thing, but they do not apply very densely. The gel base isn't super pigmented, so if you want the overall color to show up, you need to apply it over a pencil or liquid liner. Also, the glitter is chunky, and I would prefer it to be more fine. Overall, it is nice to have one or two of these on hand, but I could take them or leave them.

Great Formula

I really like these liquid liners, especially the brush. The bristles are tapered for precision, and they have just the right amount of stiffness vs. flexibility for control. The formula is very opaque and smooth. I have had Perversion for over a year, and it has not become globby or dry.

Possibly the Only Neutral Palette You'll Ever Need

I was elated when I found out that Urban Decay was coming out with a neutral palette. I already love their eye shadows, and I definitely love their palettes because they give you a great selection for a good value. This palette did not disappoint. It offers 12 shadows ranging from light to dark and matte to glitter. Most of the shadows have a frost sheen, and if I remember, only one of them is glittery. There are two mattes. All of the shadows are very pigmented and smooth, and they blend very well together. My favorite color is Virgin, which is the lightest color. It is the ultimate highlight color.

Dependable All-Time Favorite

If this was the only liner I could ever use, I would be perfectly happy. They are long-lasting, smooth (don't skip), and greatly pigmented. I am not an eyeliner guru, so I love how easy to use and versatile these are. They are probably best for smudging and lining the waterline, but I do use these on the upper lash line. Urban Decay has added a lot of colors to the product line in recent times, so the other great thing about this product is you are able to find great daily use colors as well as special occasion colors. My favorite colors are Zero (matte black), Deviant (bold blue), Binge (navy blue) and Rockstar (eggplant).

Beautiful Color and Long-Lasting

I am a huge fan of lip stains in general, so when Tarte came out with this, I had to give it a try. It definitely intrigued me when it says it increases lip moisture content by 6000%. I can't confirm if it really moisturizes that much, but something I like about this stain is that you still feel the product on your lips even a few hours after first applying. Also, the color is buildable. I got Amused, which is a hot pink, and it can be as subtle or dramatic as I choose. The only downside (why I didn't give it 5 stars) is it's really expensive for a lip product. I would like to buy more, but I haven't yet because of the price.

Best Lip Gloss EVER!

I got this lip gloss in the Glitz & Glam Beauty in a Box from Sephora, and I am so glad I did! I love everything about this gloss -- the color, the smell and the texture. The smell reminds me of a gloss I had as a kid, though I don't know what. I can't wait to get some of the other colors. I don't think I will be able to get any other lip glosses from now on!
