Sparkle!

These are the only loose eyeshadows I own, but I love them dearly. I have six and use them when I want a look to have a big impact. When paired with the Jesse's Girl eye primer, these shadows are very vibrant, sparkly, opaque, and long-lasting. Unless there is a shade Jesse's Girl doesn't make, I will continue buying these as my sparkly loose shadows.

Edit: When I bought some lip products from the Jesse's Girl website, they shipped in under a week and had included a sample of EVERY loose shadow they have! It was crazy cool of them and really makes me love the company even more. The colors are all fantastic y'all.

Awesome, but breaks me out.

I've been using this for about a week now and love it so much! This primer disappears as I put it on and smooths out my skin. A coworker even complimented my skin and asked what had changed ahaha. It keeps my face makeup looking fresh all day, and even kept my powder and blush on through one of those horizontal rains. But... BUT~ This primer gave me acne. It's the only part of my skincare routine that's changed for a month or so, and my face has broke out quite a bit since I started using it. It's such a shame. :/ I highly recommend this primer... if you don't have acne-prone skin.

Feels a little weird, but works well

I left my nice Lancome eye makeup remover at a friend's house, so I bought a bottle of this stuff to last me until I got it back. Unlike most everyone else here, I thought it was kind of great for being $4. I guess I have really hardy eyes because instead of burning and stinging, my eyes just felt kind of warm while I used the stuff. Not only that, but I loved the smell (like acid and mangoes) and thought it worked really well. I didn't have to scrub or anything, even with waterproof mascara on. Since others had such a bad experience, I'll reduce my rating to 3 stars.

Grand Central Station

The secret needs to be out that NYC's Grand Central makes one great topcoat! I found out that the Sneakerette (to Google her is to love her) used this polish as her topcoat and was intrigued enough to go buy. At that point I thought Seche Vite was the only top coat worthy but holy crap was I blown away. For $2 this polish applies and wears better than SV ever did for me. It takes a few more minutes to dry but has a much nicer bottle and brush and value. Try it try it try it!

Lame

Well, I was excited about the violet (Forever Freesia) lipstain when I bought it but it just hasn't delivered. Applied patchy and the hard felt point was irritating. It didn't last an hour and I didn't even eat or drink. Hardly "smooch proof".

Cheap and Great

This line has some great colors! I own Big Teal, Popstar, and Icon, and use them all the time. The quality is great and the teal and purple have lasted just as long as my Artliners on the eye area. I don't recommend these for cat-eyes though, because they tend to smudge on the corners. And the white, Popstar, bothers me a bit because I have to layer it 2-3 times before it's opaque. Not complaining though, since it is plain cool to see drugstores carrying white liquid liner. These liners are nice to have, but not exactly must-haves. At least where I live, they go on sale pretty often, so I recommend waiting on 'em.

Yeah I'm a sucker for Wet N Wild, but these babies are definitely a reason for that loyalty. Seriously the nicest quality polish I've used yet, the formula is opaque in 2 coats no matter the color, never bubbles, and if I use a decent base and top coat combo, doesn't chip until something really violent (ahaha) happens. I know some people can't stand the brush, but to me it's perfect. I can do each nail in one stroke, so it's a great polish to use if I'm in a hurry. Go buy some and enjoy!

Perfect

My mom randomly gave me a pair of these in elementary school and ever since I've started grooming my eyebrows, this is THE tool I use! In fact, I was privileged to not know what a bad tweezer was until I shaped a friend's eyebrows with her pair. Yikes. I'll stick with my Tweezerman. :] Thanks mom!

Does the job.

I think the formula could go on a little smoother, but otherwise this is a staple for my red lipstick and I use it and it stays on as long as the lipstick and does not bleed. Not totally in love, but hey. It's just lipliner.

Perfect primer. I usually bicycle to work, and no matter what the weather or how much I push myself, my eye makeup is always immaculate throughout the day. Eyeshadows are more saturated with this as underwear even though the color of the product itself is invisible on my skin. Although I think the packaging is really minimalist and cute, I don't really like the wand. I always apply it with a clean brush anyway, since I feel like using the wand for application everyday would be pretty gross. But whatever, this will continue to be my go-to primer: I've already gone through two tubes. :]
