I was so excited when I brought this home. But, the excitement didn't last once I had opened it and started to apply it. It's a dry powder and the brush isn't good at picking/holding the powder, so when I applied it to my..ahem, bumps, it fell/flaked EVERYWHERE! Needless to say, it didn't work because it couldn't stay on. I can't recommend this. :/

Yep, I use this for everything! If I'm sunburned, Banana Boat Aloe to the rescue. If I'm not sunburned, Banana Boat Aloe as my moisturizer gel. I can't get enough of how cool, smooth, and nice it feels on my skin. On summer nights, I'll sometimes put it in my hair (I live in HOT California). :D

It works well, but for me, I have to keep sharpening the pencil because when the tip is dull, it's hard to get the payoff. But once the tip is sharpened, it goes on great! :D

This kit is just great! It came with everything I needed to get to-die-for eyebrows (I have that type of facial structure where good brows are a must to frame my face). The brow pencil comes with a spoolie on the other end (to brush brows) and the highlighting pencil and wax pencil work well together. My only problem with this kit, was that the arch stencils aren't meant to be re-used. The normal Anastasia stencils (that sell for $21) are plastic and re-usable. However, the ones that came in my kit are made of thin, sticky paper. But other than that, it's a good kit, well worth the money.

I love these shadows! I have the UD deluxe palette and two of the nine single shadows. The colors are bold and are even bolder when used with a eyeshadow primer (like UD primer potion or Too Faced Shadow Insurance). However, for me, some of these colors are hard to blend. But, if you're an experienced blender, you'll be fine :D. All in all, I love these and I'd pay even more than the $17 they are if I had to.

I have a duo in Rated R (a bright, deep sea blue and a shocking, Amazon-Lime green) This is unbelievably pigmented. I'm still in shock. I mean, yeah, it cost me $32, but there's a lot of pigment and quantity (.14 oz) which is more bang for my buck. I wear this is UD's primer potion, so the staying power is great (I work a 12 hour day). I love the nice, modern packaging, and the mirror inside is great for on-the-go application!

Amazing. That's the overly-used, but true word that this Too-Faced product deserves. Shadow Insurance doesn't dry out my eyelids and it keeps my shadow from creasing. However, some shadows, depending on their consistency, will crease a little when I use this product (in that case, I'll look to Urban Decay's primer potion). But, if you're a fan of soft, light, shimmery or matte eyeshadows, this will work just fine for you, as it has for me. :D

Okay, this does EXACTLY what it's advertised to do. There's absolutely no creasing with my eyeshadow when I use it. I could go on and on how great it works, but I'll keep it short: it works wonders. Now, there are some legitimate concerns about this product and I'll address them: 1. When you think you've used it up, you haven't; the wand can't reach the remainder of the product. So, you either throw it away and waste some, or you cut it open and risk accidental cutting of your skin (believe me, it can happen). 2. It might dry your lids, depending on your eyelid texture. If you're afraid that this will happen, try Too Faced Lid Insurance instead. (you can read my review for that if you want to). But other than that, it gets the job done splendidly and the cute genie bottle looks great on the vanity table. :D
