I got free samples from Ulta in 2 different shades of this. Stark Naked is my favorite. It is the perfect nude shade with a hint of brown and makes my lips look super sultry. Tati on Youtube looks amazing in it and I knew I had to get my hands on it. The color is not completely matte but you can totally tell that it's somewhat matte from afar. The color is super opaque. This is the first matte lipstick that's not drying at all. I love how smooth and creamy it is. It's also really long lasting and leaves a pretty stain when the color's fading. It doesn't emphasize fine lines or anything. I think a lot of people would enjoy this lipstick if they hate drying matte lipstick. The only thing I wish is that Urban Decay would make more wearable colors since there's only 9 shades of this and all of them except Stark Naked seem to be really bright, hot pink, and fuchsia. I just wish for more muted color and not so in your face colors.

I found that this works better than the UD De-slick setting spray which is supposed to make my skin look matte and non-oily. This works so much better than that one and I could totally tell the difference. My blush and bronzer always fade throughout the day but with this on, it stays put and I can still see color. This spray doesn't necessarily stop my skin from looking oily but it prolongs my makeup wear time. It gives my skin a nice glow when I spritz this on. This product is definitely good when you sweat a lot.

I'm surprised there's not more reviews on this since a lot of Youtube gurus rave about this foundation. This is the longest lasting foundation I have ever tried. It has a medium to full coverage and completely buildable. It literally stays in place all day through heat and humidity and looks exactly the same as when I applied it. I have really oily skin so foundations tend to sink into my pores or look super blotchy at the end of the day but this foundation is the exception! It leaves my skin looking airbrushed all day and my face looks super flawless in photos. No spf and no white cast. I blow my nose a lot and this foundation is transfer proof. Finally! I own a white puffy jacket during the winter and my foundations will always rub off on my neckline so I've been on the hunt to find one that doesn't do that. This one lives up to that. I am extremely impressed. The only complaint I have about this is the color seems to do the exact opposite of oxidization. I have this in the color 2N1 and when I apply it, it's the perfect match for me but throughout the day, the foundation seems to get lighter and lighter so it makes my face look whiter than it really is. Hmmm, weird. I've never had a foundation do that to me before. Am I the only one who have this problem? Maybe I should try the next color up in 3N1 and see if that's the case.

I will only rate this on the color I have which is the highlight color. I have tried finding a good rose gold color from the drugstore for my waterline to brighten up my eyes instead of using white and this was the only thing that came close to a rose gold color. I think if I got this in a darker color it would work really well as an eyeliner because this stuff does not budge when I use it as an eyeliner but when I use it for my waterline, it doesn't stay on as long which is weird because when it sets and I rub my eyes, it doesn't smear at all when I line my upper lid with this. Also, a con about this is that it's the type of pencil that breaks off easily when sharpened. Try not to oversharpen it or else it will break off.

I was on the fence to try this because everyone had mixed reviews on this. It's either people really hated it or loved it. This is the first rose scented product that didn't bother me. I hate rose scented stuff but using this as a blush is quite nice. It truly does give me that back from the cold flush. I just don't like it on the lips as much. It tastes nasty and harder to apply evenly on the lips. Because it is a stain, it will be drying on the lips. You do have to build this up to the color of your liking since one layer of this doesn't give enough color. I layered 2 layers of this to get the color I desired. I love the brush application and unlike other reviewers I found this super easy to blend with my fingers. I dot a couple of dots on my cheeks and I blend it out with my middle finger and ring finger. I love how quickly this dries but not too quick where it dries before I can blend the product out. Be sure to blend immediately after applying since the product is watery and you wouldn't want it to run down your face. For a stain, it doesn't really last that long. I can see the color starting to fade from my cheeks after a couple of hours.

This is the most subtle highlight I have used up to date. The color hardly shows up at all. It's like putting lotion on your face. I have this in the liquid form and not the stick form of this or did they change the packaging? The product is not that thick but boy, is it hard to squeeze out of the packaging. I guess you can use this mixed in with your matte foundation for a very subtle glow but then again, I doubt there'll be any difference.

The brush on this wand is even bigger than my Diorshow mascara but unfortunately it didn't perform any better than that. I love how this did not clump even after putting on 3 coats of this nor did it smear. This has a dryer thicker formula so I was surprised that it wasn't as black or volumize my lashes enough. I was expecting big bold super dark dramatic lashes but this fell short. It's good for holding my curl though.

First primer that I can totally tell the difference. Usually I can't tell the difference between bad or good primers but I actually love this. A lot of people compares this to the Benefit Porefessional which is a good product but not as budget friendly as this NYX one but can be kind of pricey for a drugstore version (around $12.) Even though I felt this primer did little to blur my huge pores, I love how silky and smooth this primer is. It makes my foundation apply really easy and airbrushed. I used my foundation without this primer and I can tell the difference when I don't have this primer on. Love this!!! The only gripe is that it does dry out in the tube unlike the Benefit Porefessional.

This is a very sheer light pink color. In the pan, it doesn't look like it has much pigmentation but I was surprised to find that it gives my cheeks a nice subtle pink color. The shimmers in this is not a lot so I could hardly tell there's shimmer in this. It just looks like a matte color on the cheeks. It's perfect to achieve that no makeup makeup look. It lasts for a fairly decent amount of time but not as long as my beloved Tarte blush. This is not shimmery enough as a highlighter so I'm surprised a lot of reviewers said it's good for that and also I don't prefer a pink color for a highlighter. I would much prefer a champagne color since I think that looks more natural.

The color on this is very sheer. There's hardly any color (just a hint of shimmer) so it looks really good with dark smoky eyes without overdoing it. It's not sticky at all. It smells like a Pina Colada to me for some reason. The texture on this feels like petroleum jelly but when the oil separates from the product it's really oily. It's moisturizing but for the price, nothing too special.
