Wonderful formula

I'll start off with cons I had with this palette. The shade Caramel was a disappointment. In the pan Caramel looks like a brown shade, Beautylish describes it as a brown and the name Caramel also leads you to assume it will be a caramel brown. Well, it's a mauve. Check out the swatches on Temptalia and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I'm not a mauve fan. Caramel performed nicely. It blended easily, wore well and looked very nice, but I would have liked it better if it matched the color in the pan.

Beryl is a gorgeous blackened green that was my favorite matte in this palette. Without building up it was opaque and blended extremely well for a dark matte.

Jasper required building, but it easily built up to match the shade in the pan. It blended so well I use Jasper daily in my outer v.

Tourmaline is a stunning pale, shimmery pink. It looks lovely patted on the lid or as an inner corner highlight. Similarly Morganite is a light pink that gives an opaque wash over the entire lid or works as a matte highlight color.

Ambre applied nicely with a finger or a brush. I found Framboise worked best with a firm finger application, as did Sage. Sage was my fav shade in here. Such a beautiful shimmery green with a strong gold base. I got a lot of compliments when I wore Sage and Beryl.

This a nice, compact palette to have in my collection. It's about the size of a business card and comes with a slim mirror. The size and color story makes it an excellent travel palette. You can do a subtle neutral look, or bring out the shimmers for more glamour.

For the size and the price this was a good choice to test out whether or not I liked the Viseart formula. I'm very happy with this palette and it has only strengthened my eyeshadow collection.

Great brush for smaller eyes

If you're looking for a small blending brush then this is definitely one to consider. It's tiny!

The bristles are soft, the handle is a good length, and it does a great job of blending out my crease and my lower lashline. It's smaller and not as dense as the Wayne Goss 04. In my photo (from left to right) is the WG 04, WG 19, Cozzette S185, Kevyn Aucoin small eyeshadow brush, and then the Real Techniques socket brush is across the top. This should kinda give you an idea about its size.

I found this brush did not deposit color very strongly, but it blended very well. I'm thrilled with my purchase and will definitely look at the other Wayne Goss brushes.

Makes Blending So Easy

The bristles are soft and the shape is small enough to fit nicely in my crease. I have semi-hooded, small eyes and this brush was the perfect fit to diffuse my transition shade. The handle is also a nice length so I'm not holding it right by the ferrule.

If you're looking for smaller brushes then I definitely recommend this one. It's bigger than the Wayne Goss #19 (the white brush in my photo), the Kevyn Aucoin small eyeshadow brush, and the Cozzette S185 (the purple handle brush in my photo). But I actually prefer this over my smallest brushes for blending out the crease. It's tapered nicely, it's not too dense and the bristles aren't stiff so it really hugs the curve of my eye.

Great for blending

The bristles on here are extremely soft and I like that it has more of a flat top to it than a tapered one. It blends the crease well and also works lovely to sweep over the whole eye in order to diffuse any harsh lines.

Just as an FYI though, this has a shorter handle. More like you would see in a travel sized brush. It's a good length for me, but if you like longer handles this is something to keep in mind.

HG for my dry skin

I bought the full size serum after recieving a sample with my one order. I have extremely dry skin on my forehead, cheekbones, chin & sides of my face.

This layered underneath my moisturizer & a face oil was the perfect addition to my nightly routine. My skin doesn't seem to soak up a lot of moisturizing products & they end up just sitting on top of my dry, flaky skin. This, however, melted right in & left my skin nice & soft. It also wears well under makeup.

The only downside I experienced was that it broke out my oily T-zone. I just apply it only to the dry patches now & I've had no issue with acne since.

The price is also a little steep for the size & the amount of product I use. I use a generous amount every other night because a small dollop doesn't seem to work as well.

Overall I'd definitely reccomend this serum if you have stubborn dry skin. I haven't found another product like this. My skin will stay hydrated & soft for about three days after use so its benefits last a decent amount of time for me.
