I only have one of these (Cherry Freeze) but it is my go to for when I want to coordinate my reddish outfits with my lipcolor. This is a great lipstick to wear when you don't want the heavy and dry feel of one. This instead feels like a lip balm because it is so smooth and moisturizing. The color is sheer and easy to wear. It has a slight glossy look to it as well. I will be picking up more of these when I have the money; I only wish they made more colors.

L'Oreal Paris Ideal Balance QuickStick Balancing Foundation for Combination Skin
Great for when you are in a hurry
This is quick and easy to use for when you don't have a lot of time. The coverage on this QuickStick can be very light to medium. It goes on soft and velvety and dries to a powder finish. I mainly use this for a concealer because it is so easy to blend and the coverage is pretty decent.. The only problem is if you put on a heavier coat it can look a little cakey, so you might want to be careful in the application of this.

I had two of these quads Wood Rose and Enchanted Bouquet. Unfortunately I had this strange problem of not having the colors show up on me. They were nice subtle colors but even the darkest color disappeared on my light beige/olive skin. Maybe I just got some bad ones, or perhaps they work better on lighter skintones. Oh well.

This has been a great foundation for me, especially when my skin is having a dry day. The coverage is light to medium and very easy to bulid up. Even though it can go on light since it is a cream it covers better than a tinted moisturizer. I just make sure to put powder on when my skin is more oily. It goes on very soft and I forget I'm wearing it. I would guesstimate that it lasts at least 6 hours. Unfortunately I do go through this quicker than other foundations so I'm currently out of it.

The top on mine broke too but then a lot of my stuff ends up breaking so I assumed it was just me. This concealer was just ok to me. It seemed like I would have the same results if I just used regular liquid foundation to cover blemishes and undereye circles. The coverage was very light, but at least since it was liquidy it didn't cake up. I will use up what I have (if the tape holds) but will not bother with it again.

I went a little too pluck happy and had to fill my eyebrows back in, and this product has been great. I have it in black since my eyebrows are naturally black and my hair is dyed black. This color is a soft, natural-looking black that I use lightly. I don't "draw' my eyebrows back on, rather I hold the pencil horizontal to my brow and use the side of the tip to feather on a little color on sparse spots and it works really well this way. I use a brow brush afterwards to soften the color a bit, put the gel on and I'm done. I'm so glad they came up with this combo in one package. Pretty easy and convenient to use.

This is really good for a lipgloss. It does not transfer and lasts about 4 hours for me. Any lipgloss that lasts over an hour is worth a try in my book. The finish isn't so glossy, more like a light lipcolor. Since it is not as glossy my hair doesn't really get stuck on my lips. I do have to apply lip balm after an hour or so because it is a little drying. There are quite a few colors to choose from, and very pretty. I have Sangria and Fiery, both shades are great. I'll probably try some of their pinkier shades now.

I was pretty impressed with this product. I have tried long-wearing lipsticks (other brands not Maybelline's) and hated them. The colors on those felt like you were putting thick house paint on and did not look attractive, especially when it seeped into lines and flaked off seconds after application. But this gloss is wonderful, the only annoying part is waiting two minutes for the color to dry. Recently though I have noticed the gloss half does leak so I have started storing them up right. I don't put them in my purse anyway since I don't have to touch up with this product. Other than those two negatives the color goes on light, not thick or paint-like. The gloss is moisturizing and pretty shiny. I have one in Radiant Ruby and it is not too strong a red at all, very easy to wear. Also Glass Rose is a pretty pink color that will probably look good on everyone. When I wear these I just bring a plain lipgloss with me when it loses shine. The color lasts probably 6 hours for me but to me that's great for a lipgloss!

From what I understand these are supposed to be cheaper versions of what MAC offers, but I have never tried MAC so I couldn't say. The colors are bright and highly pigmented, my only complaint is that sometimes one of the sides of the duos can be hard to get good color payoff with. These are great for when you are bored of neutrals and want to have some fun. With my L'oreal Decrease primer these colors do last several hours without creasing. I always get compliments when I wear these!

These have been a goldmine for me. I have been slowly collecting these quads through sales and Big Lots because the majority of the colors work on me! The shadows are silky and high quality and the colors all coordinate with each other well. You don't really get any duds; each color has it's use. Most have a slight pearlescent quality to them that is refreshing after years of super shimmery eyeshadows. I use these with L'oreal's Decrease Primer and they do last 12 hours without a crease, and my skin is oily. And they don't have just neutrals if you like to play around with color a bit; Lavendar Meadow and Spring Moss have been favorites.
