Hated this so much on my first impression that I refuse to use it again. When I first opened this, the tip looks promising but as soon as I tried to line my eyes with this, the tip is super hard and not easy to control at all to create that sharp cat eye look. I wished the tip was a little more flexible. It also tugged and skipped on my lids a lot. By the time I wanted to finish the tip of my winged liner, the tip already dried out and I was left with an unfinished patchy winged liner. Bad job Tarte on this one.

I got this for 45% off for employees at Ulta and I figured since I love the Prima Donna lashes from Benefit so much I might like these too. The band on this is really thin and when I first took it out of the packaging and stripped it away from the adhesive that was holding it to the plastic, the inner piece where I pulled it away bent out of shape and I had no choice but to cut it off. This is super fragile. I don't like how this looks on my lashes. It makes my lashes look super sparse. I like the length of these and how it curls up but will definitely be returning these. After i took this off at the end of the day and tried to pull away the leftover glue on the lash band, parts of the lash band stripped away too. Geez, what bad quality for such an expensive price.

KVD Beauty Everlasting Hyperlight Transfer-Proof Liquid Lipstick
Most drying lipstick I've ever tried....
I didn't seem to like this compared to everyone else. Like all matte liquid lipstick, this is very drying. It's the most drying matte lipstick out of everything I have ever tried. It's not comfortable on the lips at all. I LOVE the staying power on this and how it doesn't settle between my fine lines on my lips surprisingly. Even when I swatched it on my hand in the store, I had to literally rub super hard to get it off with makeup remover. Love how this is transfer-proof and I can kiss my daughter all I want without it getting on her cheeks:-) This is also very pigmented. I was not a big fan of KVD's bestselling color Lolita since it just looked black on my lips so I picked up Lovesick which is a nice mauvey lavender pink color that I get complimented on every time I wear it. I absolutely love the color, just not the drying factor. But it is a great liquid lipstick if you're looking for something to last all day! This is just not for me since every time I wear this, I can't help but apply a gloss on top every time.

The packaging on this has changed to a purple and black tube but I'm sure it's still the same mascara because of the name. I only bought this since Promise Phan on YouTube mentioned this once that she likes it for her lashes and since I figured she's Asian she might have the same lashes as me. This mascara literally did nothing for my lashes except poke my eye. The bristles on this is super spiky like the Benefit They're Real brush and every time I apply this, my eyes would tear up even if I'm trying to be gentle. The formula on this is too thin and not really good for lengthening, thickening, or separating. The only good thing I can say about this is that it doesn't clump but that doesn't help me much when it doesn't hold a curl or do anything for my straight lashes. Returned this right away.

I got this in the color "I'm plush & precious" Petal. Oddly strange names. I don't know why this is called a foundation. I feel like the texture and consistency is reminiscent to a BB cream. It has a very light coverage and not buildable at all. With three layers on I can almost get a medium coverage. The yellow in here when I swatched it on my hand almost feels like it was too much but I'm surprised to see that it blended really nicely to my skin tone when I applied it on my face. This has a really thin consistency although not as watery as the UD Naked Skin foundation. It blended really good and dried down to a matte finish right away without it looking or feeling too heavy. I like how lightweight this is. However, it doesn't control oil long and doesn't last long either. I've had this for a little over two hours and the foundation started to get oily and faded quite a bit where my moles are now showing.

I have tried Benefit's eye primers twice now (BB Air Patrol and this one) and I have to say that my eyeshadows have never creased so bad in my entire life before. Normally I can't tell a bad eye primer from a good one but with this one, I can. I used to think they all work the same. Boy, was I wrong. The yellow in here can look quite scary but it does wonders to neutralize redness and veins. Love that part and how creamy and smooth it is to apply. Really brightens up my eyes for prepping. However, this primer is not good if you want your eyeshadow to last all day (which I'm sure most of us do). By the first almost second hour, I noticed a lot of creasing and how much muted my eyeshadow looked. No staying power on this one at all. Now you might be thinking that it's probably the eyeshadow I used but it's not. I've used my trusted Too Faced Stardust palette and Stila palette and it still creased like crazy. With my other eye primers like UD primer potion and TF shadow insurance I NEVER have this problem so I knew right away it had to be the eye primer. Benefit, you have let me down on your eye primers so far that I don't even want to try your other Stay Don't Stray eye primer even though I was eyeing it because it has a tint to it to conceal my veins and discoloration on my lid.

This eyeshadow has the most fallout I've ever experienced. I've heard great reviews on the Moondust eyeshadow so I've decided to give it a try when I got 45% off at Ulta since I'm an employee. I was not impressed at all. I wanted a glittery shade that will actually stick on the lid but this did not at all. I've seen Zabrena on YouTube use this and she recommended some concealer with adhesive but I just feel like it's too much work. I did use this with UD primer potion and normally that gets the job done with other eyeshadows but not this one. It gets all over the place. I got this in the shade Space Cowboy and I love how it looks in the pan but when applied to the lid, there's no color except for silver glitter fallout. Suffice to say, I returned this right away even though I got a good deal on this as an Ulta employee.

I received one of those paper samples with this where I only get 3 uses out of this. I used two of the colors that was sent to me so I got a good 6 times use out of this and every time I used this, my face looks cakey. I might have to buy the actual compact to see how it differs. I don't like how it sits on top of my skin and I don't find it to be as finely milled as what the other reviewers said. My face looks super powdery with this on. I like the color match on this since it has a yellow beige undertone to this. It seems to blend into my skin tone well without making me look blotchy. This powder gives a better finish the longer I wear it. Overall this review is only based on the sample I got. Maybe if I got the full product and continue to use it, I might love it as much as other people.

I'm not too fond of the scent just like how I feel towards the shampoo counterpart. It smells like oatmeal and a little too herby for me. I didn't find this to leave my hair soft or detangle it at all. Did nothing for my hair. Will definitely not purchase at even though I received a sample of this.

The highlighter in here is great because it has a pink tone to it and really highlights my brow bone nicely. I got this in the color Espresso and I love how natural my brow looks. I only wish that this comes with a spoolie on the the end instead of a brow comb on the cap which is such a hassle that I do not use. The product lasted throughout the day but chunks of products do flake off when applying. I don't reach for this often because I wish the pencil tip wasn't so big so I can create a sharp end to my eyebrows. I like my Tarte and Urban Decay pencil brows better because they're more convenient to use and way thinner so I can create brow-like hairs.
