This is for you if you have oily lids

I have extremely oily lids and even waterproof mascara does not help with the problem I had which was smudging towards the end of the day. This mascara stays put for more than 12 hours. If you have problems with smudging, this is the mascara to try.

I deducted a star simply because of the mascara wand. It's really thin and does not really build volume and can clump up if you're not careful.

If you're finding something that separates and volumize without smudging, try the ILIA's limitless lash mascara. But if you just want a mascara that does not budge no matter what you do, go for the volume mascara instead. (fyi, i wore it to a pool party and it did not budge despite not being waterproof. Do note that the water was really cold tho and you would need warm water to remove the mascara.)

Value for money

So I decided to try this set because I LOVE their mascara. Everything in this set is AMAZING for everyday makeup. I think the highlighter in the set is quite similar to the CT's Hollywood light wand in Spotlight.

Vogue brows without the crunch

I have used many brow gel and most of them feels crunchy. This allows you to style your brows without the crunch. 10/10 would repurchase.

Extremely skin like finish

I have combination skin with dry patches around my chin and this foundation does not look cakey and sink into my pores. It looks just like my skin with a bit of glow. I don't find it to be extremely glowy so you can add on something like the Hollywood Flawless Filter if you're into that. I use 1-2 drops to cover my entire face (light coverage). I was wearing it from 7 am to 11 pm and it lasted the entire day with minimal fading and at the end of the day, I still look like I have healthy dewy skin.

For shade reference, I have listed down other products which I have used: CT Light Wonder Foundation 2 CT Magic Away Concealer 3 NARS Soft Matte Concealer in Creme Brulee Nudestix Tinted Blur Stick 2 Nudestix Tinted Cover Foundation 2.5

It does not budge.

Living in a humid and tropical country, every mascara smudges on me. Even waterproof ones. The only ones that do not smudge on me is the Kissme Heroine Make Mascara but only lengthens my lashes and they are IMPOSSIBLE to remove. This, however, volumises and lengthens my lashes the way I want it to keeping in mind I have thin Asian lashes and DOES NOT BUDGE AT ALL. Only downside to this mascara is that it clumps up quite a bit so I have to use a brush to separate them.

Extremely pigmented & easy to use

If you want to keep your makeup simple, you can just swipe one colour on your lids and you're ready to go. You can make it as sheer or pigmented as you want, depending on your preference. It is a relatively small palette but I like that it's small so you can keep it in your travel bag with 4 colour options.
