Eye Bright is soft, smooth and great for perking up your eye area. My only complaint is that you need a brush to blend it in evenly and naturally, my finger just kind of pushed the product around and messed up my eye makeup... other than that Eye Bright is a great product.

I have this shadow in Gimme Some Plum which is like an iced sugar plum color. It's satin finish, not quite shimmery and it looks sooo gorgeous on my hazel eyes. If you want a wearable daytime purple then I really recommend checking it out. I love it.

I haven't noticed any visible reductions in dark circles like it claims to do (and believe me, I have a lot to reduce) so that sucks but It's Potent! is a great daily moisturizer for your eyes. I use it in the morning before I put on my makeup and it makes the skin around my eyes soft, hydrated and smooth. It is pricey and you could probably get a cheaper product with similar results but overall I am happy with this cream. It smells great too.

A good matte bronzer can be hard to find and I've grown rather fond of Hoola. It smells great, it applies evenly, it looks natural and since it's matte you can use it for contouring as well as bronzing. You get a lot for your money, I've had my box for like 2 years and I haven't hit pan. Great stuff.

I rarely use Dandelion, not because it's a bad product but because it's a very light, cool, shimmery pink shade and is only visible on me when I'm very pale. When I do use it though it gives me skin a subtle, soft, brightening effect. It's very pretty and you can use it either just on your cheeks or all over your face (lightly) for an all over perk-me-up. It smells divine, just like all of Benefit's boxed powders. It also lasts a long time, I've had my box for over 2 years and I've yet to hit pan. I do recommend it, but just make sure you test it out in person o make sure you love it because it is a pretty expensive investment, for a blush.

Go. Run. Go to your nearest Benefit counter, Sephora, Ulta, Macy's, whatever and GET THIS CREAM SHADOW IN BIRTHDAY SUIT. It's HG for me and I can't live without it. It's a perfect shimmery beige that goes with anything. RUN, DON'T WALK. GO.

I have this in Demolition which is just a dark matte brown and the product itself is great. I love cream liners, I love Urban Decay, all's good. I do have kind of a hard time working with the long, skinny packaging though. It's kind of hard to hold and get product out without fumbling around but it's really not a huge deal. The peacock design on the lid is really beautiful. It's sad that they discontinued it :(

I also have the feminine palette and overally I am happy with it but I do have a couple of complaints. First, the shade "Midnight Cowboy" (also one of UD's most popular shades) has CRAZY fall-out. There's no avoiding it. I will try to find an even stickier primer than I already use but I always end up with silver glitter under my eyes and on my cheekbones when I wear it. Ugh! My other complaint is the shade "Ecstacy". It's a pretty bright purple with a undertone in the pan but swatched it's very sheer. Surprisingly sheer for an Urban Decay shadow. Shocking, huh. You can get a pretty good amount of opaque coverage if you keep on layering it but nonetheless the shade is an anomaly in the UD eyeshadow range. Other than that, the other shades Stray Dog (a medium, cool, shimmery ashy brown), SWF (a light, frosty bubblegum pink), Aquarius (a pretty shimmery mint green that pulls a tiny bit teal) , and Darkhorse (a dark, warm brown with gold shimmer- this shade is also in the original Naked palette). The Feminine Palette also comes with a mini Zero eyeliner which is just a basic black and a mini primer potion in Eden (a matte yellowy nude color). This palette is versatile and great for travel but I just wish Midnight Cowboy and Ecstasy were better quality.

I'll make this short and sweet. Urban Decay makes an absolutely fantastic eyeshadow. The color range is huge, the formula/texture is to die for...I can't say enough. They are on the expensive side so mostly I try to restrain myself from buying the singles and stick to UD's more wallet-friendly palettes but even if you do shell out the cash for a single, you won't regret it. Just be prepared for the glitter. Out of the whole line, I'd say about 30% of Urban Decay's eyeshadows have glitter in them. Said glitter is prone to fall-out unless you use a sticky primer beforehand. Just a heads-up.

They're pricey but I'm willing to invest in an eyeliner if it's quality. Urban Decay's liners are creamy, glide on smoothly and last forever. I love that they're waterproof. They come off easily and come in a rainbow of colors. Can't say anything else really, they're just awesome.
