I bought two of these glosses-a magenta pink shade and a rosy bronze shade. These are stunning on! They go on smooth, despite the glitter and shimmer, and have a nice color-payoff. I find them to be nicely pigmented, and they last a decent amount of time, for a gloss. I hate pots because they're messier, but I just *had* to have these!!! They're especially great for going out because they definitely give you noticeable lips.

I have A Relish of Berries, and the color is just amazing. It's a beautiful deep berry with pinkish undertones. It goes on vibrant and glossy, and the consistency is smooth (not too sticky, but perfect). I only wish it didn't sheer out after 30 minutes; the color is there but the intensity fades. I think it might help to wear a liner or lipstick underneath to keep a bold colored lip, but sometimes I like the sheer berry color too. People ask me what shade of gloss I'm wearing because the color is so pretty! I recommend it!!!

I actually tried this on thinking it was just a gloss, not knowing it was a plumper. I definitely noticed the tingling on my lips though, and my lips looked delicious, LOL. The color is sheer and very shiny, which helps makes your lips look poutier. I can't compare this to, say Lip Venom, but I like it well enough to recommend. Love the glamorous packaging too.

Hmm, this didn't work for me the way others have described. When I want thick, black, "false lash" look, I turn to YSL Effet Faux Cils. This mascara gave me a much more natural effect. The black color is great, but I don't think I have the technique down because the rubber brush doesn't build thickness or volume easily. I can get length, but when I keep brushing to add volume and thickness, it clumps. I'll use up this tube, but stick to YSL for dramatic lashes.

I love the bristles on this brush--so soft and smooth, it feels wonderful on the skin. The shape of this brush is different from the traditional blush brush, since it is more flat and rounded (like a foundation brush) than round and fluffy. This calls for a different technique when applying blush. I use a sweeping motion to apply a contour color to my cheeks, then use a gentle circular motion to press rosy blush into my cheeks. It blends like a dream. I'm sure this brush will last me many years!

This pencil has a drier consistency, giving it a firm feel when applying to brows. This helps draw feathery lines, as opposed to smudging color through your brows. It's good for drawing in and filling any "empty" spaces. It's a tad pricey, but I expect it would last a long time. It's not the pencil I use right now, but it's a good choice. I like Jodhpur for brunettes.

I tried this product a couple years ago actually during my NARS obsession phase. I bought Beach, a good-enough match to my medium/olive skin. It goes on smoothly and matte; however, my face was shiny in no time. You get very little product for the price, compared to many other brands. I was disappointed since I wanted to like this a lot. Nothing special here--just an ordinary powder at a big price.

These shadows are rich and creamy to the touch. They show up nicely and blend really well. The range of colors is a bit limited, however all the shades are very wearable. The packaging is lovely, as with all YSL products. Very luxe. My favorite is the deep, shimmery, chocolate brown shade--just beautiful to wear on a daily basis. These shadows are a nice splurge.

I have tried a few different colors of these pencils, but never purchased any. I love the fact that they come in so many different shades and they're all very pigmented and lovely. They glide on smooth, and work nicely on the inner rims of the eyes too. The downside for me is that it tends to smudge on my oily eyelids and that's not pretty. Most eyeliners smudge and smear after a few hours of wear, so it's not out of the ordinary for me. But I'd recommend it to people with normal skin, not oily like mine.

I use this mascara to tame my brows and to finish them after penciling in color. Works fantastic!
