This mascara really made my lashes longer. It has a clean separated look, which is great when you wanna look effortless and natural. Perfect for when you want to look not made up. However if you want to have dramatic voluminous lashes, this won't give you that no matter how many coats you build. But you can layer this under thickening mascaras to give you length before you dramatize your lashes. Works great as last separator too when other wands clumps your lases. This formula has the right consistency of not being too wet, not too glossy, not too thin. Great price for great job!

Urban Decay De-Slick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray
Shine still comes through for extremely oily skin types
This product is one of the best ways to control shine because it doesn't interfere with your foundation. Spray this before you apply your foundation. I use a paper fan to dry it completely, then apply my foundation. The foundation doesn't ever get streaky or draggy, which many mattifying products do. I also tried applying over my foundation, but this didn't seem to make it any more effective. I have very oily skin, so shine did break out after 4 hours or so, so it doen't work all day. I also have a travel size version, which I sprayed after I had oil breakthrough, but it didn't mattify nor make it go away. I had to blot my oil using oil blotting sheets for the rest of the day, as usual.

This setting spray gives me a dewy look that makes almost any unnatural looking foundation a natural glow that makes it look like a healthy skin. Amazing! I use a paper fan right after I spray this to set my makeup. It makes my makeup last even through a workout. The travel size is great to keep refilling, easier to spray with, and sprays fine mist. Just make sure to shake the larger bottle before refilling the mini bottle. Thank you UD!!

This is oily, but gives you a dewy glowing natural skin finish that actually looks very healthy. I'm so happy that they made medium to dark shade ranges, which most bb creams don't make. It doesn't compare to Asian BB creams, but compared to other American BB creams, it is much better. It is better than tinted moisturizers, and better for your skin too. The packaging is so pretty in pink, plastic is soft and feels good, and it feels ergonomic and dispenses product nicely. It is worth the $, if you have the right occasion to wear bb creams.

This foundation is too oily, it made me break out every time I used it. I recommend this for dry skin types, or save it for winter time. It seems to have low pigment coverage, but it amazingly evens out your complexion very well. Compared to asian bb creams, it is so sheer and disappointing, so look at this more like a tinted foundation that does a little more. I will use this for quick errands, but will not wear this to work where I need foundation that will last me all day. In the summer heat, it only lasts two hours on my oily skin, but at least there is SPF protection to feel good about. They were right on for making bb cream for med/dark complexion, because majority of the BB creams are still only available for light complexions.

This foundation gives me a moist natural skin look for a long wear foundation, with good coverage. It doesn't have the "paint" texture like other long wear foundations do, but it isn't as long lasting as the ones that have that "paint" texture. It gives you sufficient playtime to even it out onto skin, spreading well and allows for good blending. It is the best smelling foundation I know, smells just like their perfume, Dior Addict2.

This foundation gives me a dewy fresh skin look, with a good coverage. The mousse is thick and creamy, well pigmented for a mousse. Its on the oily side, so i don't recommend it for oily skin types for summertime to wear it alone. I just spray with foundation locking spray and set with a little coating of powder and it can last all day. However it smells terrible, and the smell doesn't go away all day. My boyfriend hated the smell and wouldn't even kiss me with this on!

Don't let the creamy texture fool you. This definitely cleans my face of all oil and make up, but doesn't make my face dry or stripped. Rather, my skin feels silky afterwards. It feels slightly cooling, which is so refreshing, and it smells fine. This is a great buy for the price.

UD, you did it again. You finally realized that we, the collectors, will not even think twice about NOT getting this. The colors fall a little short from the first one (like chopper - who needs another copper? and half baked - we all have this permanent by now), but who cares when these are all neutrals, classics that we can all wear and all should have. Thank you soooo much for including so many shimmer shades. The shimmers are intense and silky. Pistol, the new color, a hard to find as always, grayish brown shimmer is my favorite. Busted and Blackout, the two darkest colors are so pigmented that very tiny bit is all you need, so be light handed on these shades. Thank you UD, I won't mind if you kept coming out with Naked 3, 4, whatever, because I have faith in you that you'll add new colors and they will be all well balanced in colors, shimmers, metallics, mattes, that would keep interesting me. Just keep glitters and non neutral colors out of the collection please.

This is a classic that every makeup junkie should have. Even if you're not into neutral colors, believe me, you will be someday. The shadow are great for contouring as well, because many are in the brown tones. However, not all the colors are flattering, and the UD shadows are not topmost quality, in my opinion, but still, they are of high quality, and well pigmented. They are silky and go on well, and lasts with primer. I am highly appreciative that they realize that these colors are the staples that we all should have as a set. The velvet case is so nice to the touch, warm, soft, easy to hold unlike their following palette in the series, also unique and nice, but as a collector, they don't match, and I wish they did.
