Gorgeous gloss, with a high concentration of pigments, and doesn't leave that goopy feeling some glosses tend to give. Don't expect this to last all day, but in saying that, it definitely goes the extra mile for a gloss! Colours are true - what you see in the tube is what your get when you apply it. I know its minerals, so the colours tend to be quite natural, but I had to drop 1 star because of the limited number of colours available. I hope they don't discontinue the colours I bought... Will definitely repurchase!

...this would be a spectacular foundation. It goes on light, even and stays blendable for a couple of minutes, before it 'sets'. This is a must for older skin or ladies with very dry skin who don't like the look and feel of caked on foundation. The brush, as other reviewers have mentioned, is this product's downfall. I have even gone as far as to actually pry the brush away from the top of the container so I can use the the foundation without it! Such a fantastic foundation, I wish they would just put it in a tube and be done with it. It doesn't need the gimmicky, awful brush!

Look, I'm a practical gal. I have to wash dishes, take out the trash and bath babies. I seldom have time to spend ages (or a fotune!) on a manicure. but when I do, I'd like it to last. When I saw this product for the first time, I was intrigued, but sceptical. The sales assistant saw me eyeing these, and immediately started gushing about them - she was wearing these in "passion' at the time. It looked gorgeous! I bought a pack, figuring if it didn't work out, I'd chalk it up to experience. Boy, was I surprised! It took my inept, awkward fingers less than 10 minutes to apply and file down perfectly. The colour is smooth and glossy and looks just like the real thing. It didn't mess everywhere. It doesn't smell awful. And best of all, its has been a week an a half, and I have had not a single chip!! These are going to be a permanent fixture in my beauty budget. I can't imagine going back to normal polish ever again: Try them -- you will not be disappointed, ladies!

I love this cream. It has quite a thick consistency, but absorbs quickly and completely. It's incredibly comforting on my very dry, stressed skin. Its a very good makeup base. Unfortunately, the fragrance in this might cause some irritation - if you're the type of gal with super-sensitive skin, you may want to try a tester of this first before purchasing.

...unfortunately, I don't. Dont' expect this to cover up blemishes or imperfections. I was also hoping this would offer a little more moisture than it did. The tint is a little bit streaky and required a lot of blending. Once it was on, the colour match wasn't fantastic, but that's not a product fault. It offerred sheer coverage without looking caked or chalky, which was great. I think it would be a great light summer foundation, and will probably repurchase in a slightly darker colour.

This is one of those purse items that makes all your girlfriends 'Ooh' and 'Ahh' when you whip it outin the cloakroom. Individually both the primer and luminizer are incredible. The primer is silicone based and leaves your skin baby soft and gorgeous, ready for a touch of glam. The luminizer delivers perfectly in that department -- adding just the right amount of shimmer is a cinch, because the product spreads so well. A little goes a long way, so don't overdo it, unless you want people reaching for their sunglasses when you step outside! My only complain with this is that because the different consistencies of the two products, they squeeze out of the tube unevenly. To get it to work well, I have to block off the luminizer side so I can squeeze out the primer. I will repurchase this - but as individual products. The 2-in-1 idea looks good on paper, but in practice it doesn't work so well. 8 stars, mainly because of the messy product delivery.

I got this stick in the cute, retro packaging. It goes on effortlessly, which is great - no waxy difficult-to-apply balm here! The slightly herbal/spicy smell takes getting used to if you're the kind of girl who likes fruity flavoured glosses and balms. I love the original 8 hour cream, and use it daily. Although I do love this balm I have found that Burt's Bees balms offer the same moisture, at a much better price.

Great foundation, great colour match for my awkward skintone - very flushed, but with yellow undertones. This is one of the few foundations that doesn't lose its luminous glow by lunchtime. My very dry, and sometimes flaky skin stays smooth and moisturised all day. Every time I wear it, it makes my skin look rested and gorgeously even. I apply it with a foundation brush over well-moisturised skin. The pump dispenses a tiny amount at a time, which is absolutely fantastic. So many pumps squirt out a huge amount of foundation which promptly goes to waste! Well done MAC for getting your dispenser just right. Unfortunately, it rubs off on almost everything: my cellphone, the rim of my glasses, and even my husband! Setting it with MSF Natural seems to make it stay put for longer, but I prefer that as an evening look. Its just a little too 'done' for daytime for my tastes. A word to the wise: if you are not into slightly pearlised foundations, or if you prefer a matte or semi-matte finish, this is probably not going to be a good match for you. 9 stars from me!

This gorgeous shade of cool-toned marshmallow pink is one of my favourite lipcolours. It goes on smoothly, and even though it does transfer to my coffee cup, its not a gloopy awful mess, like some lipsticks leave. The finish isn't powdery, but there is absolutely no sheen whatsoever. The colour is flat and even. If your lips tend to be dry or chapped, it might pay to apply a balm and exfoliate first: this formula will show up all lip imperfections, and the colour is not very forgiving! It goes on smoothly, and even though it is not as OTT fabulous as the Lipstick Queen Sinner range, its excellent value and it is still a staple in my makeup kit. Love it!

I wear this almost every day. Its light, non-obtrusive, and I love how people always comment on the fragrance. It doesn't irritate people who are sensitive to perfumey smells, which is a huge plus. Its such a pretty smell, I can highly recommend it!
