The concealer is better than the highlighter. When I tried to use the concealer for covering up redness, it collected into pores having terrible results, but when I tried to cover up blemishes with light taps, it did the job great. However for something to cover up blemishes, it should have a thicker viscosity, because you're concentrating on a very small area. The highlighter did nothing for me since my skin is already luminous. It should have more shimmer if they wanted to call it that. Otherwise it's just a light colored foundation. The brush is very nice though, soft and easy to use. The tube is very ergonomic and very portable, I like to take this on trips since plane restrictions are strict.

The felt tip is the best for liquid eyeliners. Brushes move around too much, cake type is not intense enough, and pencils are not as durable for a long wear. This comes in carbon black, which is the blackest black you can find. With the pointy felt tip, you can go between lashes so easily. I put this over my silicone based long wear eyeliner (such as Revlon ColorStay) to give it an all day smudge proof effect, my power trademark secret. Just to let you know, I have the oiliest lids and my lined portion touches the lid when my eyes are open (I'm Asian), but this doesn't transfer and stays put all day into night.

This mascara is average for what is expected. It does volumize and give you dramatic black lashes, but I think L'Oreal Voluminous mascara does a little better job along the similar results with lot less money. It also doesn't last that long, since the tube is skinny, it seems to dry up faster. The straight wand is easier to deposit more product than the "Pro" version with the curved wand. It's too hyped up IMO.

I wish they had this while I was a teenager when I wasn't allowed to wear too much makeup. It gives you a very clean, natural look. I use a different mascara for my top lashes since I want very thick dramatic lashes, but for my lower lashes, I use this mascara. Since I'm an Asian, my lower lashes are barely there, and this wand's tiny bristles make it possible to reach them depositing the right amount of product.

This mascara does hold the curl because it's on the dry side. Since I curl my lashes everyday, some of the wetter formulas de-curl them, but not this. However all it seems to do is just that, curl. My lashes were not thicker nor longer. If you like the clean separated look, it's fine, but not for a dramatic volume lover. I usually top this with Definicils to complete the package.

I have used this for over a decade now. It's inexpensive and does the job. I wear tons of eye make-up, and this takes it all off. I like the fragrance compared to some of the other ones I've tried, and it's non-oily like the dual phase ones that I hate. I can adjust the amount on the cotton pads, unlike the pre-soaked removers that can be too wet or too dry. I just wished they put it in a squirt bottle with a flip cap for a faster routine since I'm usually tired when I remove my make-up.

I always use a eyeshadow primer to intensify the color of my powder eyeshadow. This makes more of my powder eyeshadow stick to my lids and it lasts all day. I've been using this everyday now, and I'm on my second tube. I'm disappointed on how long the first tube lasted because it is so difficult to get the product out, especially after the initial week when too much product was coming out. The formula is thick that the wand going straight in doesn't seem to touch the creme after a while. They should've packaged it in a pot where I can use it until the last bit.

This erased my smudges well, but was too wet and oily, and I had to use 2 Q-tips to wipe off and dry off afterwards. I have some crayon type correctors that I prefer better since the creamy wax is easier and quicker to swipe off. The upside is that you don't need to sharpen this, but the downside is that you don't get a fresh tip everytime.

This is an inexpensive item that works excellently, so it's one of my staples. The pros are that it thickens lashes very dramatically and easy to apply. The cons are that the tube doesn't last long because it dries up quicker than other mascaras and starts to clump. It gives you a matte, fake eyelash look, rather than a separated glossy look.

I use this everyday during winter. It is thick and rich, definitely helps combat dry skin without greasiness during the winter months. I'm glad it's available in no SPF since I wear it to bed. However it is too heavy for me to use in the summer. (I have combination skin) It doesn't smell "vitamin-y" for all the goodies they say it contains, probably because the packaging is airtight. Since I don't like dipping my finger into jars, I'm glad that this is an easy to use pump style in a light plastic, very ergonomic!
