Waste of money.

I got this because it had all the colours I needed in case I didn't own a single I needed to use for a makeup tutorial. I also got this on sale so, well, why not? I got it for about 30% off in April or May.

I've very rarely used this palette. I've used it maybe five times this past year. The last being on Halloween when I used red, purple, and brown on my hand and face as you can see in my default photo.

I do not think these are good quality eyeshadows, really. Powdery, hard to get to show up, etc. Perhaps I need to play around with it some more. I don't know.

Good for beginners that are completely new to makeup? Beginners with bright colours? Sure, go for it. But I've been with makeup for two years and this just isn't for me.

Is NAKED too dark for you? Get this.

I am a huge fan of Kat Von D eyeshadow palettes and have been eyeing this one since it released on the Sephora website. I was getting incredibly impatient when my JCSephora had the "coming soon" item on this baby for days.

If NAKED isn't your cup of coffee because it's 1) too expensive or 2) still a little too "out there" for you, I think this is a perfect alternative. I have not used all of these shades (What? I'm lazy and have other things to use) but I really like the third from the right and the very last shade in this palette. These shades are perfect for outer corner/crease colours.

The downside is that these can be very, very soft so a lot of product will end up on your brush so you will have to tap off excess unless you really want a good amount of fallout on your face.

Not worth the hype for me.

There's always that TFSI vs UDPP battle and for me, I'm on TFSI's side. When I used UDPP, it was harder getting my eyeshadows on, to blend... the eyeshadow would crease a little bit in about 8 hours. My TFSI lasts over 12 hours without any creasing. I wouldn't say UDPP is a horrible product but it doesn't work for me.

My go-to primer.

As the headline says, this is my go-to eyeshadow primer. I've tried Urban Decay Primer Potion and it didn't live up to the hype, in my opinion. I can wear eye makeup for over 12 hours and it still looks good.

Good, but not the best!

I've always had issues with my under eye circles. They are hereditary so there is no amount of sleep that will make them go away, I promise you. I've tried drugstore concealers that were way too yellow. Fortunately, we got a JCSephora and my favourite girl there suggested the Erase Paste.

This isn't my absolute favourite product but it works for me and I would repurchase again until I found something better. It doesn't completely cover up my circles, but it does a decent job at doing it as well as brightening the area. It matches me pretty well so I can just wear translucent rice powder on the rest of my face.

Just like other people, I've wasted money on lip balms that were either really crappy or just "okay". But eventually, I come across a post on temptalia's blog talking about how much she likes these lip balms. Sephora finally opened up in my mall and I found a Jack Black lip balm duo for 10$ so I decided to get it. I can see why she raves about this now. This is the one lip balm I think is worth the money.

This is pretty much the only mask I use except for the occasional sheet mask when I'm able to purchase them myself/get some from an Asian friend overseas. Mainly because you get a good amount of product for the price you pay. This does leave my face feeling really clean. I can't say it really does anything for my pores. I don't really think it's done anything to ~improve my skin. It's just a nice mask to get the yucky stuff out and to make you feel really clean afterward. I still prefer sheet masks since they're a lot easier to clean off.
