These are some of the best body creams I have ever tried. I am not usually a fan of body creams as I often find them to be thick and a bit greasy on, but these go on smoothly and don't have that greasy feel afterwards. They smell wonderful (I am especially partial to Vanilla Frosting and Marshmallow Fluff) and the scent seems to last. They absorb into the skin quickly and leave it feeling soft and well nourished. A great product at a great price!

I fell in love with these a few years ago. I love the pen style applicator although you do have to be careful not to turn the pen too much. Otherwise, too much oozes out. The color delivery isn't sheer, but isn't highly pigment so it leaves a nice splash of fresh color on your lips. The texture is nice and thick as well. They have a nice flavor as well. My favorite shade is Berry.

This product is definitely one worth having in your collection. The eyeshadows apply very well and are easy the blend. The variety of colors is amazing and they all seem to work well with my green eyes and pale skin. I have always loved Tarte's cheek stains so I was glad they added four of those in the set. I don't use the lip glosses and lip sticks as much as I do the other items, but from what I have used, they are ncely pigmented and wear quite well. They also included four gel eyeliners which I must say are quite amazing. I do hope they sell these separate as I find them to be some of the best I have ever used. I haven't used the other items (Eye primer and face powders, I think?), but I plan on doing so. The only problem I have with the set is there are no names on the individual colors so if I run out of one I really like I won't know what it is to repurchase it. However, I still highly recommend getting your hands on one of these before they are all gone!!!

These are great lipsticks! I own Sweet Dreams and Zen and would love to get the third one. They aren't as pigmented as they might appear to be (or as pigmented as a regular lipstick), but rather go on more like a nicely tinted lip balm. They really do leave your lips feeling smooth and moisturized. Well worth the price tag in my opinion.

This gloss does much better than I thought it would. I expected something sheer, but it is actually nicely pigmented and delivers a nice level of color. I own Caffini Martini and it has a nice chocolaty scent/flavor. It also has a nice consistancy and isn't watery while at the same time not being too sticky or tacky. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by what I found with this one!

This is a winner for me! I have combo/oily skin and this is one foundation that doesn't look shiny on and doesn't make my skin oily. Mont Blanc is the perfect shade for my porcelain skin tone. Well worth every penny I paid for it. Blends easily and wears well all day.

I love most of the Nars line, but the eye shadows are a bit of a disappointment. I own a couple of the duos (New Delight being my most recent acquisition) and the colors are beautiful. However, the colors are lacking in pigment and you end up feeling like you have to pile it on to get any to show up. Even with primer under them, I feel like they fade within an hour of putting them on. My best advice is even though these are hard resist, look for something that lasts longer and is a bit cheaper!

When I first saw this gloss, I thought 'now, there's no gloss worth that price'. Boy was I wrong! I purchased this in Beige Caprice after trying a sample of it and haven't been disappointed. The look is glossy, but not ovely shiny looking so it's perfect for an everyday office look. It wears well and looks great on. The packaging is very glamorous and looks elegant. The color I purchased is a great natural slightly brown shade that would look great on many skin tones. It does have a slight scent to it, but it disappears quickly. I am very pleased with this gloss and can see myself repurchasing this one over and over.

This product seemed to work really well, but for some reason I had a problem with it wanting to ball up on my face if I tried to apply moisturizer or makeup on over it. I had to be very careful in using it, and for someone who tends to be able to goof up even the goof-proof items, it was a bit tough for me. Can't say it's a bad product, but it's not one for me.

I am skepical of those plumping type glosses since they usually sting the wazoo out of my lips, but this one is NOTHING like that. When I put it on, I first noticed the divine vanilla-caramelish scent it had. Great coverage. Not too sheer, but not thick and overly pigmented. The plumping action had a cooling feel to it and didn't sting one bit! It looked great on!! I used Amber and it looked just great. Loved it so much, I ordered the Buxom Lips set so I could have more shades. Finally!!! A plumper than works for me!!!
