Good Color Corrector

I use the orange shade to cover my undereye circles, since yellow concealer just gives a greyish cast. It definitely works and has awesome coverage, just mix it with your normal concealer (in the exact shade of your skin- do not go lighter or darker) on the back of your hand so that it looks only slightly orange but mostly skin tone and apply and set with powder.

Lovely!

I have to admit, I've always been intimidated by orange lipstick. I've always been told you have to have certain undertones in your skin, your teeth have to be pearly white, etc. As a ghost pale girl with less than perfect teeth, I thought orange lipstick wasn't for me. This one, though, is so sheer and workable that it's impossible to not look good with it on. The orange definitely comes through, but it's not opaque and heavy, so just about anyone can wear it. Its only minus is that I wish it had more staying power, but I still love this shade and definitely recommend it.

Subtle but powerful

I'll admit it, my eyebrows are kind of sad: lighter than the hair on my head, fine in terms of hair type but thick in width while being sparse and uneven. In short, they need help. This brow powder is pretty good on a day-to-day basis, making my brows look nice, thick, and even. I'm on the fence about this with bold eyebrow looks, but overall I'm pleased with it.

Good basic day moisturizer

This moisturizer is my fall/winter daytime moisturizer, and it's pretty decent. It's not heavy or greasy, and absorbs quickly. Being so pale and in need of sun protection, I do wish it had more SPF, but other than that, it's great.

nice glossy and bold red

This shade isn't for the faint of heart. It's a glossy, bold, blue-based red, so it looks best if your skintone skews cooler. It fades slowly but evenly, avoiding the "ring-around-the-mouth" look. For staying power, use a lipliner, and for a slightly more subtle but still pretty look, apply with your finger instead of directly out of the tube to get a more stainlike finish.

Love it!

I have really pale skin, and was really nervous about using this because of how dark it looked in the tube. I shouldn't have worried. It goes on sheer and is the perfect shade- not too light or dark. It's the perfect lipstick for a 'no makeup' makeup look for me.

Okay for minor imperfections

I use this concealer to cover minor blemishes on my face. I have major undereye circles, but this concealer is too sheer and not really buildable enough for those. I also wouldn't use this on major red or angry blemishes. In a small, thin layer it's fine, but it clumps if you try and build it up, no matter how thin your layers are. Also, forget about applying powder directly on top- it's a surefire way to get it to clump. Just use it after foundation and before using a translucent powder to set the whole thing and you should be fine.

Good basic BB cream

This BB cream is okay. I would say the coverage is about medium and it's easy to build up or sheer out (just apply with a damp brush or sponge for less coverage). It's fairly basic but it does the job without a lot of fuss. It does lose a point for feeling heavy on the face at the end of the day, but it stays put and doesn't clump or fade away on the face.

Makes Contouring a Snap

I love this brush. It's easy to apply blush, bronzer, and powder highlighter with so that I can contour my face after applying foundation or BB cream. It doesn't leave your contouring looking fake or obvious.

Provides even coverage

I wasn't too sure about this brush when I first got it. It seemed small and I was uncertain about stippling on my BB cream in general. I was wrong to be worried, though- this brush is excellent. It helps my BB cream go on smoothly and evenly without looking like a mask. Using this brush to stipple and buff leaves no dark BB cream or foundation lines at the hairline and jawline. You just look like you, but better!
