At first, I was impressed with the dewy finish and how it felt on my skin. Later in the day, it the foundation had rubbed off, my mascara / bottom liner smudged and creased into all the fine lines that I was trying to hide. I've tried applying this with my hands and 2 different foundation brushes and nothing seemed to work. I guess I'll stick with Colorstay.

Repeat of what I posted for the shampoo: First, I think that one needs to have the right hair to achieve the desired look without using curlers or irons. As you can see in my picture, my hair is pretty straight. It's pretty thick, though, so I get it layered with a razor. The last time I went to the salon, I asked for more texture. Since my hair weighed less, drew up into a slight wave when air dried. The shampoo and conditioner were on sale, so I decided to buy them to see if it would amplify what my hair was already trying to do. It worked! I have volumized roots and tousled waves when I let my hair air dry. Again, I give much credit to my haircut, but I definitely noticed a difference with this shampoo. There were some negative reviews about this shampoo drying out hair. My hair is dry on the ends from coloring my hair red up until early this year. My solution is putting in a little leave-in conditioner on the ends. It works like a charm!

I love to use "Painterly" as an eyeshadow primer, but I do find that it creases on oily lids. It's perfect for those minimal make-up days, though. It really even things out!

I was in Sephora and decided to buy into all the hype. This is one of the best cosmetic purchases I have ever made. My eyelids are only oily in the Summer and MAC "Painterly" just wasn't cutting in anymore. I also LOVE the new packaging. Urban Decay now offers a squeeze tube rather than a wand that you dip into the product.

Coming from Clinique, I knew that the formula would be great! As a serial High Impact Mascara user, I was very excited about this mascara. Bottom Lash has great staying power, but the application is what I have a problem with. The tube doesn't scrape enough mascara from the brush for a flawless application. The tiny brush is great, though! It catches every every little lash and really makes my eyes pop!

I have combination skin that is more oily in the Summer and more dry in the Winter. I'm currently using this as my winter foundation. I don't find any "sparkles" or glitter as some other reviews stated, but I do agree that it offers medium coverage. I don't find it to be buildable, though. When I added more product to parts that needed a little more coverage than usual, it began to look cakey. To remedy the cake-effect, I apply this product with my hands and use a stippling brush to apply the foundation where I need more coverage. It lasts all day for me (8+ hours), but I have drier skin in the winter. The packaging is GREAT! I love the pump! It allows for an easier, cleaner application. I've used this product for weeks and it hasn't clogged up on me. The price is right, too. For around $11, it rivals department store brands. As for being photo ready, though, I'm skeptical. I don't see how any makeup with SPF in the formula won't reflect a flash. Also, a warning: it DOES settle into fine lines and large pores a little...and I think that is my only complaint. Other than that, I'm generally pleased with this foundation.

This product does absolutely nothing for me, so I can only imagine if one has super-oily skin. This product does not set correctly and is a pain to blend. I looked at a snapshot of myself after I applied this makeup and I had a GIANT orange streak down my face! I am unimpressed,

This is another one of my favorites. The powder controls shine and provides buildable coverage that never feels heavy.

This lip color is great for the price! It doesn't last all day, but it does last for awhile. My only gripe is that it'll gather at the corners of my lips. Otherwise, it stays put until it fades away. My "go-to" shade at the moment is "Airy Fairy". It's a great nude, gold-flecked, pink that will go well with any makeup application
