Wonderbrush!

So in love with this brush! Heavenly soft and gentle bristles and flat "cat tongue"-like shape - all is great for setting my very sensitive undereye area, applying blushes, highlighters, touch of bronzers and finishing powders. The result is natural and seamless. Using this brush is the most favourite step in make up for me now.

Wanderlust is the best shade ever!

I'm in love in that shade! So sparkly and bright pink and gold with bunch of shimmer of all colors of rainbow. It makes any eye look irresistibly beautiful. I had no fallouts whatsoever. I know that some people experience the product is drying with time. But my both Stila shades is okay (one of the shade is 1 year old now). So A+ from me!

Love this toner

Got this in the Lucky Bag this year and very happy. It is more thick than average water-like toner. It hydrating my dry skin, brighten little bit and make my skin more plump and tight. No sticky sensations, no tingling or dryness. Love using it at the morning.

My first Sonya G brush

Got this in the Lucky Bag this year. I'm not used to using this type of brush, but now it find its place in smudging and softening the edges of cream colors and liners (pencil and cream ones). I find the shape pretty useful, and the bristles are very soft. But the handle a bit thick for my liking for this kind of detailing brush. Thus 4 stars.

My first ND palette

Got this in the Lucky Bag this year. And was very happy to be able to take a look at the brands product. Nude palette is a great way to make a pleasant experience of a first using with many people. I like the colors, especially mattes, they are great and flattering for my warm olive skintone. Though I would prefer more differing mattes, like 2 browns and the one red/blue/green etc. But I must say that this palette is beginner-friendly this way, making it easier to apply an everyday make up. I like the lighter metallic, it is shifty champaigne-rosy light gold, but the darker is pretty boring and plane for me. All the shades are pigmented, I experienced no fallout, but in the beggining it was not easy for me to blend them. The silky formula is tending to sticking to itself better than to skin, so I got the patchy look. Later I got used to it and try other brushes and motions, so it got better. I heard many admired reviews on the shadows of this brand, but got my hands on them too late - I've tried some great indie brands shadows. So Camel palette didn't surprise me. I have shadows that are cheaper and on par in terms of the quality, sometimes even better. So it's good, but not " OMG astonishing".

My first JS lippies

Got this bundle in the Lucky Bag this year. And this are not your "nudes for everyone", I think it's not the best thing anyone would be glad to see in their Lucky Bag out of the blue.. Anyway... quality is great, I like longlasting (pretty long) and non-drying formula. As for colors.... I didn't manage to include Drug Lord in my make up routine yet. On the lips it's horrible, on my eyelids as eyeprimer it useless so far. I am not used to making cut-crease and such, so... idk what to do with it now. I really like Mistletoe, 'cause it's warm based green, that doesn't making me pale like dead. I love using a bold rainbow colours on my lips. So A+. As for others, they are pretty colours, but too cool-toned for my warm olive skintone to wear them alone. So I'm using it with warmer lipglosses and toppers with golden shimmer. That making they beautiful. Doll Parts is especially flattering with thin-layered semi-opaque nude lipgloss and golden shimmer on the center of the lips.

Mixed feelings

I got this Cream Color in Celebration in my Lucky Bag this year. I love the color - sophisticated greyed brown color. And I was astounded by a staying power. No creasing, no fading whatsoever. All, absolutely all colors are creasing and fading on my lids except this! Good pigmentation and easy blending. Immediately I decide to buy some more... but after 2-nd use, when I opened it in third time it was so hard for me to squeeze just small amount from tube. I thought that all is dried up and nothing will come out next time. I never-ever opened tube aside from 2 times, 10 seconds each (just to place product on the plate for picking it up). So I am confused now. On one hand I'd love to buy some more colors, but on other hand - afraid to get dried up product. Moreover, you can see some reviews here saying that their product also dried up. Can it be helped? Idk

Splendid

It's the most pricey blush in my collection so far but no regrets. Silky smooth and fine-milled powder doesn't emphasize my pores. The colours suit my warm-olive light skintone so well! Pigmentation and staying power are good too. Of course imprint and package are gorg and luxurious. Happy :)

Good for dry and sensitive skin

Sometimes I have "bad skin" days, when it gets irritated and dry with flakes. It's hard especially at winter time. Sometimes I need some soothing after using the AHA's, enzymes and scrubs. Half an year ago I got this blue helper. It's pricey, and I was hesitating, but after first using I got no regrets. It's soothing, calming, nourishing my skin so well. When I use it in the evening this sensation, accompanied with light scent, make me feel in the SPA and soothe me to sleep :)

One of the Great Two for crease

Love using this brush for most of work in the crease, on outer corner and all over the lid. Great at pick up color and blend it out. Soft, no scratching or tugging skin. I choose it when I want to put pigment neatly but intense on my lid, or make seamless and diffuse crease. Can't do my make-up without it!
