Not only does this palette come with makeup, it comes with tutorials and a speaker! I know some people found this useless and stupid, but I found it adorable. The eyeshadows are SUPER pigmented and they're such gorgeous colors! They go on super smooth too, since the texture is so soft and satiny. They're only 2oz off of full size and there are SO many of them for the price you pay (I got my palette on HauteLook for about half off, but it's still an amazing deal full price). The only complaints I have are about the gorgeous royal blue shade Blue Bus and the shimmery purple, Gravity. They're just not as pigmented as most of the other Urban Decay shadows, but I still love them. Of course, the primer potion is 100% perfection, and the eyeliner worked amazingly! I was really surprised with the mascara too. It's not the best I've tried, but it's the perfect size to pop in my purse so I can use it whenever I need a touch-up. The packaging is EXTREMELY large for what's inside, but I don't really find it a problem. Many people are complaining about how it's actually the size of a book (which it is), but just so cute! I mean, there are 3D butterflies that pop out at me whenever I open it! And when I do travel with it, it honestly doesn't take up much more space than what I used to bring. The price is phenomenal compared to the actual value, which is well over 150 dollars. I haven't felt the need to use any other palette since I bought this one.

I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have this primer to use everyday with my eyeshadow. It works SO perfectly. Since the day I started using it 2 years ago, my eyeshadow hasn't even creased once even after around 12 hours! I personally think it's about the same as Too Faced Shadow Insurance (which seems to be its biggest competitor) but I'm still sticking with my Urban Decay. It goes on super smooth and has a little bit of pigment to even out your skin tone. It dries extremely fast and makes shadows go on so much richer. I don't have to splurge on super high-end eyeshadows anymore, since this primer makes any cheap 2 dollar shadow look AMAZING. I have really oily lids and it has yet to fail me. I just can't get over how perfect this product is. I've been using it almost religiously every single day for the past few years. I've had the same bottle for almost that entire time! It lasts FOREVER even though the bottle is really small, because you need to use such a tiny amount. I'm not planning on switching primers anytime soon.

I asked my mom to pick me up a nude lipstick because she was at Target, and when she came back I was expecting the worst, but she hit the nail on the head with this one. I have this in Fairest Nude and it's probably one of my favorite nude lipsticks I've tried. It glides on really smoothly and feels good on my lips. It doesn't have an overwhelming scent either. It doesn't feather and it stays put. There are so many colors to choose from, and they're all gorgeous. Not to mention it's totally affordable. I want all the colors! I use this on an almost daily basis, and don't plan on switching brands anytime soon. The only little problem I've had with this lipstick is it's a little bit drying. You can fix that problem by just applying a balm to your lips (I like EOS) to moisturize them, and you won't have ANY problems whatsoever.

I tried this product because the roll on made my armpits itch and burn like crazy, and it did cut down on the pain, but it really didn't work as well. I've had excessive sweating problems since middle school and this solid really didn't do it for me. It's really not as strong as the roll-on formula.

To be completely honest, I've had excessive sweating problems for years now and one of my friends recommended this to me. It started out working AMAZINGLY. I could actually wear t-shirts out on a hot day. About a week after using this product, I put it on and it started itching and burning. It was so bad that I had to take a shower and wash it off. I tried again the next day and didn't wash it off, and the itching and burning lasted for almost 2 hours! Also if you use this product within 24 hours of shaving or washing, you'll get the same itch-burn effect. I was SO disappointed that such a wonderful antiperspirant made my armpits feel like they were on fire. DO NOT use this product if you have sensitive skin.

First of all, this concealer is EXTREMELY orange when it goes on my skin, and it doesn't blend well. Also, every single shade available is too dark for me. I'm very fair skinned, and the lightest color was super orange-y and dark on me. It didn't really cover up zits either. It kind of just slid off them and went around to the sides of them. Ugh, I usually LOVE Maybelline's products, but they really messed up on this one.

ONE DOLLAR? I didn't know such a thing existed until recently. Honestly, even though it's not the HIGHEST quality brush I own, it's still one of my favorites. It does exactly what it says on the packaging. I use this brush as a highlight brush for my browbone, as well as for putting eyeshadow into my crease. It does both of these jobs exceptionally well. The only complaint I have is that it could be a little bit softer. I still use it almost everyday. Seriously, for one dollar, this should be an addition to your brush collection. It's pretty amazing. I recommend it.

I was under the impression that all good brushes costed 30 or so dollars and all came from high-end brands until I found this brush. First of all, I LOVE the feel of it of it in my hand. I don't know why, but I do. Second of all, this brush can be used for ANYTHING. I've used it with foundation, blush, powder etc. Personally, I find it works best with pressed powder though. THE PRICE is one of the things that shocked me the most. For only 3 dollars, I'd easily take this over a MAC brush ANY day. It's also one of the softest brushes I've ever felt, as well as being super dense, making it overall a super high quality brush. I'll never go back to my high-end powder brushes now that I've found this one. You WON'T be disappointed if you buy it, and I completely 100% recommend it. I can't say enough good things about this brush. It's just simply amazing.

If you're in need of a quick, cheap blush, this is the one for you. It's not very pigmented, which I like since I'm so pale and it's hard to find a blush that doesn't make me look like a painted clown. The shades in general are really gorgeous. I picked out what I thought was the prettiest shade, Twinkle Pink (a really pretty, what I thought was slightly shimmery light pink), and brought it home. When I tried it, I swiped the brush in it and powder immediately went everywhere. I then put it on my cheeks and was assaulted by gold glitter that went absolutely everywhere and was impossible to get off. The blush would be so gorgeous if there wasn't the stupid GLITTER in it. It seriously got ALL over my face. I took the blush back and got a really pretty hot pink shade, and was happy with it. It lasts all day, and looks natural! Moral of the story, do NOT get Twinkle Pink. Get one without glitter in it. It's a pretty good blush in general, though. Definitely worth the 3 dollars.

This makes your manicure so much more fun, and it's super easy! If you're having trouble getting a good shatter, just remember you have to put it on quickly and thinly (it cracks more when it's thin and less when it's thick). You also CANNOT go back over a part you've already painted, because the stuff shatters in a matter of seconds and you'll ruin it. The only problem I have with this particular shatter is the brush. I ADORE OPI's brushes for normal nail polish, but I found that it puts the polish a little bit too thick on my nails for it to crack the way I want to. You can get around this, but it's a little bit more difficult. That's the only reason it gets a 9. Other than that, it's absolutely amazing and I totally recommend that you buy as many of these as you possibly can! It'll be totally worth it.
