Just throw out the included brush as soon as you open it. It's made of some kind of horrible plastic which scratches at the pressed powder and gets it all over the box, and the black bristles end up falling out on your face. I had to buy a separate brush just to use this, much softer and better quality, and the powder still ends up all over the compact and your clothes and everything else. A horrible hassle to carry around and open as every time opening it is accompanied by a cloud of loose powder. This is basically impossible to apply without making a huge mess. However, it has it's positive points: lightens skin very evenly and if you blend it well gives a very nice, even effect - the light-reflecting particles look very good too, especially in daylight - so not a total waste of money.

I'm very happy with this. Color holds almost all day, including after eating, etc. Somewhat drying as with all matte lipsticks, but this can be solved of course with some lip balm. Yes, the intense fake grape juice smell is kind of off-putting, but for me doesn't outweigh the benefits of this long-lasting and affordable lipstick.

Got this in one of those tiny free birthday gifts from sephora, so I wasn't expecting to think much of it. Since it's so small I take it with me wherever I go, and it performs surprisingly well - immense volume and adds length too. For me it's almost indistinguishable in appearance from YSL Effet Faux Cils, and costs what, about one third of that? I'm contemplating buying a full-size one.

I have two colors...starts chipping towards the end of the day, given you apply it in the morning. Dries pretty fast, definitely over 60 seconds though. The whole coat is gone after two days at most.

No effect at all...I wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary but this is just $8 spent on absolutely nothing. Peels off after about a day and after any contact with water. Very disappointing.

Was excited to get this after reading favorable reviews and finding some unique colors...resulted severely disappointed. It's so liquid it drips off the brush like water, impossible to get an even coat, takes up to 45 mins(no sh#t) to dry, and after at most a day, starts not even chipping but peeling off like a film. Might just be me, but I bought 2 colors and the experience is identical.
