The eyeshadow colors in this palette are classic, usable, coordinated, and flattering on lids. However there are too many matte colors, as usual with NYX palettes, I do not know why they don't make shimmer or metallic palettes or at least mix them up better. Also, there are too many dark colors, and they should have put in more medium brown toned colors (not gray toned) so that we can use them as contouring colors. Also, the quality isn't as great as their single shadows. It's slightly harder to pick up, probably because they pressed these harder. Their face colors are usually useless for me, since the colors are all too light, making my face chalky and whiter. Nevertheless, I had to have it to add to my NYX palette collection. All of their palettes are different sizes, they should really make them all same sizes...

Creme Brulee is the best shade that I can find in the drug store. It is a nude shade that is not too "dead" looking or too peach or too pink. I'm so sensitive that 90% of lipstick scents bother me, but this one is so subtle that it will not offend you. It smells like a hint of vanilla, (like a creme brulee!) and usually vanilla is an offensive scent for me, like most asians, but this one is tolerable. It applies like a balm, so soft, smooth, and efforless, and has a shiny finish. It doesn't last, but who cares when everything else is perfect. Balms are appropriate to reapply in public, whereas lipsticks are not, so this one is a sneaky way i can apply lipsticks by swiping it on like a lip balm. You can't go wrong with this one. It's great in winter because this one helped heal my chapped lips by providing lots of moisture and protected my lips, I did't have to sacrifice pigments for healing balms this winter. This one beats the competitors balms that came out around the same time too. Thank you Revlon, finally doing lipsticks right.

This smells like peach flowers! There is no underlying bad smell nor bad taste. It feels silky, never sticky or greasy, just feels so wonderful on my lips. It gives me high shine and is pigmented moderately. Life on the A List is the best pink gloss color ever! It's a delicate, pampered, subtle pink. I will only use this gloss from now on, and I even stocked up on these. By the way, the older ones still smell lovely and feels great, great to know that these don't go bad, whereas majority of other brands' lipglosses, even high end, turn horrible in a year.

If you have tanned skin like me, or likes to use bronzers, this shimmer is in the right shade because it's warm and shimmers golden when light hits it. Apply to the top of your cheeks, and curve around the eyes in a "c" shape. When the light hits, believe me, they can see this! The packaging is clever too, because you can dispense very small amount with one twist that clicks, and the inner cap keeps the product from drying up/ clumping/glopping up, unlike their other highlight products that come in nail polish like jars. I had to twist it/click it sooooo many times in the beginning though, just to get it started. This made me so worried that I thought mine was defective/broken, why didn't they fill this more so that this many clicks would not happen!

This really seals in eyeshadows, eyeliners, lipsticks, mascaras, you name it. It's like hairspray for your makeup, without the alcohol. It can be tricky to apply however, if you're heavy handed. It can make your eyeshadow bleed or thin out, for example. It can also crease into lids after a looong day/night even if you didn't sweat. It's not very ergonomic nor portable since it's in a jar, but since they give you different applicators, it's all-purposeness sacrifices for portability/design. One bottle will last you ten lifetimes. Pretty bottle can stay out on my dresser any time without any embarassment :)

I love fresh/clean/soap category of perfumes, but give me a break, this one is just a fabric softener smell. It's straightforward and plain boring. It doesn't make me feel happy, special, sexy nor anything. I'll spray my linens instead of on me, thanks for making my room smell clean & fresh.

This scent is clean, but too ordinary soap like, not special enough to feel sexy, happy, romantic, or special. It's ok for going to office/work, but it's boring. It lasted about 6 hours, which is pretty good for fresh/clean category, but I'd rather have much more pleasant fresh/clean/soapy scents that would not last as long.

This fragrance brings out pretty and happy feeling, as a young girl would feel. It's pink and shiny to match the smell. The smell is clean, fresh, happy, bright, slightly sweet, pretty, girly smell, that stays the same, but doesn't last long for the reason it's top heavy. But this makes it great because there are no annoying bottom notes.

This scent is not too mature nor young, perfect for day and night, and well balanced with top/middle/bottom notes. Sweetness, floral, and fruits are in harmony, so that none are overpowering more than the other, yet, strong enough to last all day. Wearing this brings out the feeling of "pretty" most to me, rather than sexy, beautiful, fresh, etc...

The original smoky palette was of poor quality, so this one is much better, worth buying. The colors seem bright (blue/green/brown), but they actually go on darker. highly pigmented. But still, they should've made classic smoky colors like brown-gray, greenish black, various shades of smokes, like gunmetal, pewter, charcoal, all close to black, just slightly different for a true smoky variation palette. Who needs another pink, cream, or silver color when grayish brown shimmer is so hard to find?
