Fantastic option for taking your brushes with you

This is really beautifully made and designed. I can see getting a lot of use out of it as previously, I had to either use subpar travel brushes, or take only a few of my better ones and hope for the best in terms of wear. The wraps I had were bulky and not that protective. I love that you can take up to 22 brushes with you - so no limitations while you are away from home. It is a bit bigger than I had anticipated, but very manageable.

Sinks in quickly, leaves a really velvety texture

I have used many oils (Vintner's Daughter, Goldfaden, Rodin Olio Lusso, Ladi Avokanto and a few from Odacite) and hands down this is my favourite, especially under makeup as it absorbs fast and leaves the perfect texture for applying foundation. It doesn't feel greasy or oily and I like how my skin looks after. Yes, it's $$$ but you get a significant amount, especially when compared to something like Vintner's Daughter.

Great quality

This is a really nice palette. The shadows go on smoothly, pigmented and buttery although they do kick up a bit of powder in the pan. You can create a neutral or smoky eye with this and it's basically a complete face in a palette. Travelling this week and really keen to take this with me as it has everything I would need for a polished look. Also pleased with the size of the face products. I am a big fan of the Aucoin palettes and this one is a great new addition. Highly recommend!

Really lovely brush

I admit - I was very skeptical that something this shape and density, described as being ultra soft, would work effectively to buff out powder. I am used to using a flat top brush that is quite dense for this (and had been very happy with it). I used it with blush, contour, highlight and bronzer, and also with translucent powder to buff it all in. VERY impressed at how beautifully everything applied and at how perfect it all looked. Also kudos to Beautylish's Bess, who made the ordering process painless and was an absolute pleasure to work with - you are a credit to the company, which already has an ultra high standard of customer service. Five stars to Wayne and Bess for this fab brush, and helping me get it so quickly.

Love these shadows

I have the brown/green palette and wanted to try a few shades in the cooler tones. Really love these even though there are a couple of dupes for the big palette (but I use those two a lot, so it's fine). I find these go on beautifully - creamy and pigmented - layer well, and just look great. I get a lot of compliments when I wear these. Unlike others, I haven't experienced much fall out. I think it's important to work with the individual shadows. So the gold is more like a pressed pigment and works best if you use a flat brush with the flat side down (not the tip) and press it onto your lid. I have also used these with a wet brush or with a fixative on the brush and that amps up the metallic look.

Very pleased with this

This is a terrific pre-makeup moisturizer and a very little goes a long way. Even with daily use, a jar should last a very, very long time.

I find that it is incredibly emollient, and at the same time, dries down to a really lovely finish very quickly and makes the perfect canvas for applying foundation, or just keeping your skin looking dewy without makeup. Yes, there is a bit of a scent, but I don't find it strong and I don't find that it lingers (and I am sensitive to scent in products).

Adore these brushes

I have a lot of high end brushes, was keen to use these and expected they would perform nicely ... but WOW. Used them for the first time today in the horrible light at the gym, putting my makeup on quickly in the early morning to get to work on time, and emerged with truly flawless makeup. I watched Billy B's videos for each of the brushes to see how he uses them and was very pleasantly surprised by how well they work as he intended. (I know he also says to play, which I will, but for my first time I out I wanted to color within the lines, so to speak!) They blend easily and like a dream, and I love that they are so light and portable. Can't recommend highly enough.
