Love/hate

I hate that I love this stuff. I mean, $70 for a face mist!? I bought it as a splurge but really this is a glorious product. The smell of course is amazing but that is not what makes this a great product for me. I believe the silver helps prevent breakouts. I haven't had one pimple since using this spray. I ran out and am back to dealing with the random pimples that plague me. So even though I wasn't planning on making this a staple, I guess I will be repurchasing.

Worth it

This is a gorgeous book. It is very thorough with great photos and descriptions. I gave it to a cousin who is just getting into makeup and she loves it. It does talk a lot about the Rae Morris brushes but that part was actually helpful for a beginner to see what type/shape of brush works best.

Proceed with caution

I don't consider myself as having sensitive skin. I've used some very strong peels in the past without irritation (including the ordinary's 30% peeling solution) so I thought I would be a good candidate for this product. I used this one time, mixed with argan oil and my skin looked 10 years older for almost a week. It was dull, dry, sensitized and the fine lines on my forehead were more emphasized. I know it was this product because I dont use more than one new product at a time. I had to do a moisture mask every day for a week before my skin looked normal again. To be fair, I should have patch tested but I figured since I had teflon skin I wouldn't have any issues. The one positive is that my skin tone looked brighter overall. So yeah, be careful. Do a patch test and don't assume your skin can handle this very strong acid.

Brilliant

I got this in medium not knowing if it would work for my skin tone (NC50 in Mac) and it does a beautiful job. I'm so vain when I wear this, I just can't stop looking in the mirror. It gives me a golden glow that looks like a fairy kissed me. And it is a cream to powder that does not emphasize the pores or texture. Brilliant! Literally. I liked using it with beauty blender. I also got the powder in medium but don't like using it with the cream because it neutralized the golden-ness (I know, I made it up) of the cream shimmer. But the powder is great on its own.

PS: makes a great eyeshadow too

incredible

I normally don't leave reviews but I had to for this product! I am not a fan of the liquid lipstick. I've tried them all and I just don't like how dry they feel or how they wear throughout the day. I am so impressed with Jefree Star's lipsticks though. I don't know how he did it but these are super comfy and wear beautifully. I'm in love! I got blue velvet which is so gorgeous. And this is coming from a neutral makeup lover. My husband even likes it on me. I also got hoe hoe hoe and OMG, those little hidden pink shimmers stole my heart. If you are on the fence, go for it!
