Good for the money (:

These brushes are so soft, and I love the fact that they are cruelty free and soooo eco friendly! I really love the fluffy tapered blending brush and the mini kabuki. I like using the concealer brush to put on an eye primer like Urban Decay Primer Potion or Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It also works great for putting on Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadows and Paint Pots. The kabuki is VERY small but it works well for just putting on a clear and translucent powder. The bigger brush I don't use that often, just because I don't have much use for it. It's a bit too fluffy for bronzer or blush, but that's just my preference (: I'm a bit confused though why they chose these brushes to put in a set... three face brushes and an eye brush? I still do like these brushes, and I think they are good extras to have in a collection, but these aren't the only brushes I would need for makeup application.

One of my favorite palettes!

I really love this palette however a lot of the colors are extremely chunky and full of glitter...resulting in a lot of fall out! The colors are all gorgeous though, and I love the champagne/browns that are included. Smog, Maui Wowie, Sin and Chopper. I love how UD organized this in sets of duos coordinating the colors that look best together. I suggest you put in an extra three bucks and the FULL SIZED Primer Potion! That is a GREAT deal, and I believe it's only available for Sephora online (: What a great deal, considering it's an eighteen dollar product! This isn't something that I personally use EVERY day just cause some of the colors are a bit eccentric for a student. I do recommend getting this though if you are looking for high quality, gorgeous colors.

Don't purchase!

I really did want to love this foundation. I have been using Makeup Forever HD for the longest time, and it is a pretty pricey foundation. I went to Target and picked this up for ten bucks, and I was shocked and how minimal the color selection was. Once I tried this out, I absolutely LOVED it in the first few weeks. I used it a lot over the summer, after I find out how much unnecessary shimmer goes into this product. You look like a glitter ball, and it does not blend well. I really think the hype is a bit silly, considering this is one of the worst foundations I have ever tried. It clings onto every dry patch, and with its SPF I don't see how you can possibly take a decent looking picture. This was not the foundation for me. It made my skin look oily, which is surprising cause I have dry skin. It was also so shimmery and made pores, (wrinkles if you are old), and every unwanted imperfections stand out.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS!

The only liquid foundation I'll use!

This is an amazing product, and is forty dollars. I know that might sound extremely pricey but this really is wonderful. You get such a flawless complexion, especially if you use a stippling brush to apply it. A small amount will get you a long way, especially paired with a good primer. This also looks great in photos, considering it doesn't have SPF (which I have to apply....anyways!) and that unnecessary and excessive amounts of shimmer that other foundations have. I would highly recommend this and I think it is the BEST liquid foundation out there!

Amazing!

I really do love this palette. I am by no means a makeup artist, which I feel this is really convenient, if you are one. It is very versatile. I use it as a lipstick and as an eyebase. However ninety five dollars is a lot of money, and I don't grab for this that often. I think the portions are a bit small, and some of the colors, I know I'll never use. The Coral is absolutely beautiful and looks great mixed with red for a lipstick (:

I don't understand the hype

This is a good mascara, but I really don't understand the hype. It volumizes but adds no length. The wand is so big that I often end up with mascara all over my eyelids...something I've never experienced before. I also find that it's hard to get the bottom lashes. This mascara also doesn't hold a curl very well..

You get what you pay for!

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FIND. For 88 eyeshadows and the price of 19.85 the price can't be beat. When this arrived, a lot of the colors were cracked but after using the old rubbing alcohol trick I was able to fix some of the eyshadows. However, they are so dime sized that I hesitate to use this on an everyday basis because I'm too afraid my favorite shadows will run out. I got mine in the Matte formulation, and the colors are gorgeous. I think that this is a nice thing to have, especially if you are making Youtube videos because you are able to create a lot of different looks for tutorials and you have a whole array of colors.

However, I would never give up my MAC eyeshadows for this! The pigmentation, is great but not wonderful. I would say you couldn't get this without owning Kat von D High voltage or Urban Decay Primer potion or some sort of eye base, because they aren't the most long lasting.

Red Ruby Pumps!

Ruby Pumps is an absolutely drop dead gorgeous red with a gold glitter reflex. Every time I move my fingers, whether it be typing or just out running errands I see that hint of gold. It was the color I wore all throughout December during the holidays! Super worth it! I'm glad that this is not part of a collection, because this is one of my favorite colors that I love to wear all year round.

Jingle Bells is Liquid Gold!

I picked up Jingle Bells recently which is apart of the holiday collection! I have to say that this color is liquid gold and it was perfect for the holidays. I'm still wearing it and I think it's a great color for a night life scene :)

Volumizes but absolutely does not lengthen

This mascara granted does not advertise to lengthen your lashes. I have short lashes that have no volume to them at all. I expected tis to give it...maybe the slightest bit of length? Regardless I do like this mascara, but I would opt for the Falsies if you are looking for a combination of volume and length. :)
