great brow/eyeshadow duo

the packaging on this is just stellar. it looks like a book with 2 volumes: one with eyeshadow and vol 2 for brows. I bought this from beautylish a while ago and have been using the brow side, but just started using the eyeshadow recently. If you like rose gold / coral eye looks this palette set is a must have. the eyeshadow side is much more versatile than it looks. you get a great matte base shadow, a sparkly rose gold/coral shade that looks beautiful on the lid, a mid tone shade that is mostly matte with just a tiny bit of shimmer running through it that works great through the crease and my favorite shade in the palette is a very shimmery off black that I love to use as eyeliner. you can apply it with an angled brush along the lash line, or mix it with some of the brow wax to create a darker more dramatic liner. the brow side is typical for this brand: perfection in a palette. it won't work for every brow color but it works for mine. my only complaint is I wish it included a mirror. however this is still a great palette set, and the elegant packaging would make this a great gift for someone.

Amazing! Non-Comedogenic Oil, works great on my combo skin

I received a sample of this non-comedogenic oil in with my most recent order. I ordered a few other things from Indie Lee, but was unsure of exactly what to buy since everything looked so interesting. The sample I got came in a little glass bottle with a medicine dropper dispenser. I’ve been applying this in the morning after cleansing. I just put a few drops in between my fingers to warm it up, and then press into my still damp skin. I usually follow with a moisturizing sunscreen. I’m a big fan of face oils, and have used Tarte Maracuja oil & argan oil. This one feels lighter than both of those. My skin doesn’t feel greasy at all after it absorbs. I have to use it for a little bit longer to see if it actually diminishes the age spots around my eyes, but so far I really like the way my skin feels. I am always hesitant to switch up my skin care too much because I am prone to breakouts. However, I am happy to report that this product did not cause me any irritation at all, and leaves my skin feeling light and fresh. I am currently using this in the morning and the Indie Lee Lavender Facial oil at night after cleansing and applying the Indie Lee CoQ-10 Toner. I have to say, I really do see a difference in my skin!

Miracle Product!

Wow, this really is a miracle product! I’ve been using this balm for about a week, and I already see a difference in my under eye area. Unfortunately, this is the one area of my face that has really started to show signs of aging. I don’t have crow’s feet, but I have very noticeable lines under my eyes. I’ve tried a lot of eye creams, but recently ran out of my usual brand and decided to give this one a try. My eyes are pretty sensitive, so I have to be careful which products I put near them. This little jar will last a long time, because you only need a tiny amount to cover the entire eye area. The texture reminds me of Josie Maran’s Argan oil lip balm. It’s like solid oil, but feels smooth and hydrating on the skin (similar to argan oil). I am very pleased with the results so far, and will continue to use this and report back after I’ve been using it long enough to see long-term results. So far so good!

Golden goddess!

Goldilux is the most beautiful true gold loose eyeshadow I've ever used. It's a must have for makeup enthusiasts and artists. I wore this color on Christmas day and Superbowl Sunday. It looks just as shimmery and spectacular on the eyes as it does gleaming at me from the palette I dispensed it onto. It makes me feel like a golden glittery goddess when I wear it. This is one of my favorites from Sugarpill because its metallic gleam is super pigmented and blends like a dream. you really get a lot of product in the adorable jar and a little goes a long way so it will take you a long time to use it up. The amount of high quality product you get for the money is totally worth it. Plus this brand is cruelty free and even offers a ton of vegan choices proving that animal lovers don't have to sacrifice quality or fun colors in exchange for sticking to your moral values.

Best Glosses I've Ever Tried....Ever

I was sent one of these in the shade Diana as a sample. I was so blown away by the texture, shine and staying power, that I promptly logged on to <a href='http://beautylish.com' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>beautylish.com</a> and ordered 4 more shades, including the 2 Beautylish exclusives. I'm a huge fan of these, and actually keep them separate from the rest of the glosses in my makeup storage area because I think they are a bit more special. The formula is moisturizing, yet long lasting. I find the opaque formulas to be more like a high-shine liquid lipstick and the shimmer formulas I use as toppers. I kind of wish I had every single color, and may just purchase the rest eventually. Plus, these are cruelty free and paraben free!

Same quality as high end brands minus the hefty price tag

I have been a long time viewer of Marlena's videos. I've seen her promote her own products and finally decided to give these eyeshadows a try. I purchased the starter kit so that I could get a nice variety of shadows. I have to say, I am really impressed with the texture and color payoff of these eyeshadow pans. They pop right into a Z-Palette (sold separately), and come in a nice variety of colors and finishes. Vanilla Bean has become a daily staple for me and Corrupt is one of the blackest black eyeshadows I've seen. Other favorites are Mocha and Cocoa Bear (mattes). At this price, they are totally worth trying. Trust me you won't be disappointed.

excellent among its price point

This was my first stippling brush and I have to say I love it! I only use synthetic brushes and decided to try this one because I'm a long time fan of Pixiwoo's YouTube videos. I pruchased this originally to apply foundation, but I have since found so many uses for it. Its especially great for applying cream blushes and highlighters. Ive had several of the Real Techniques brushes for sometime now and these have held up to repeated uses and washings. This is a personal use brush, not a pro item, but still very well constructed. When people think of affordable synthetics they usually name E.L.F. and while I own several E.L.F. brushes, Ive had several come loose at the ferrule while my Real Techniques look as new as the day I bought them. Very User friendly and this stippling brush is constructed to stand on a table top which is very useful.

great set. would make a lovely gift

This is a really great way to try a few different products from Too Faced. I have been a long time user of their eyeshadows, but this kit finally got me to try their primer and Lashgasm mascara, both of which I love. I saw this kit presented on a few beauty bloggers sites and when Clumps Of Mascara said she liked Lashgasm I decided to give it a try. The velveteen blue bag houses pretty much everything you need for a full face including a cruelty free synthetic brush and how-to cards. The primer is wonderful and worth buying a full size. The blushes & eyeshadows are pigmented & smooth. Everything fits in the bag so if you created a day look using this kit you could easily bring it with you and darken up the look for evening. Overall I love this brand and this kit gets an A rating from me!

Great product, even better value

Urban Decay is my favorite beauty brand. They always manage to combine stellar products with adorable packaging. I've been a long time fan of their 24/7 pencils so when I saw this value set I had to grab it. These pencils do double duty for me as they can be used as a traditional liner or blended out with their 24/7 pencil brush (or any stiff domed brush) and used as a base for powder shadow. These are pigmented, smooth, waterproof and really do last all day! Plus this kit comes with their Grindhouse sharpener!

Great tool for tightlining

When I first saw this product advertised I admit I was a bit skeptically. However, I decided to try it, and I'm really glad I did! This liquid liner can be used a few different ways. First off, I love this for tightlining. This can be pushed up underneath into the roots of your lashes to make your lashes look thicker. Also, for those who have difficulty with traditional liquid liner this draws 3 dots of black color with just one touch so you can make a guide for yourself then simply connect the dots. This tool can also be used to create some more fun avante garde looks making it easy to dot the color where you want it. I especially love this for the nights when I wear false lashes because it makes it super easy to fill in any gaps. Plus as an added bonus, Too Faced is a cruelty free brand and none of their products are tested on animals.
