For some reason this reminds me of the Hello Kitty palettes at Sephora. I have yet to try them but I heard the pigmentation wasn't that great. The pigmentation in this is pretty good. It has a shimmery effect but what I don't like about this is that as you can see the colors are so similar to each other that it doesn't really show up on your eyelid as multiple different colors. I wish there was more of a contrast to each one. I also wish there was more matte colors as all of the colors are super shimmery and frosty-looking.

I dont know why the lady at Sephora recommended this saying that it was their bestseller for brow kits. Judging by the reviews i would say she's lying. This was actually my first brow kit i've tried just to see if i would like it. Needless to say i hated this one. Despite all the reviews on this being hard to open, i had no problem at all. I found the packaging to be quite unique. You lift up the side that opens then you slide out the palette. Wasnt that hard. Anyways the one she gave me had a dark brown color and a black color then the wax that comes with it. I never enjoyed using the wax. It makes my eyebrows look shiny and unnatural. As you can see the colors do not mesh well together. It is either too dark or not natural looking enough no matter how much i blend them to find the perfect shade. I have dark brown hair and even when i use just the dark brown color it ends up looking unnatural and too dark. There's also a lot of fallouts. The colors doesn't seem to be too well pigmented. I ended up buying a different brow kit from Milani to see if it would work better and it does! There's a light brown color and a dark brown color that i can play with. Now that's something i can work with having two relevant colors. Not black and dark brown which makes my eyebrows look fake.

I bought this in dark brown and it looks really unnatural. The dark brown color has a red undertone to it making my eyebrows look brownish red. That would be suitable for my lips but i don't want my eyebrows looking red! I like how it has a brush on the cap and how the color does last and doesn't smear or smudge. The pencil is also quite hard and the product is not smooth like I was hoping for. I don't know if i bought the wrong shade or what but i guess i'll stick to powder formula for now for a more natural look.

They advertised this as an eye brightener for your waterline but it's not soft enough to go on your waterline. I tried to apply it to my waterline but there was no color deposit. The pencil was too hard and wouldn't adhere to my waterline. I recommend using this as a concealer or lip liner instead.

Love how it doesn't smudge but it's really difficult to do cat eyes with this liner. Michelle Phan makes it looks so easy in her video when she said this was the best liner she's ever used. The tip became really dry every time I tried to do a winged line. I find that this also tugged on my eyelid and I couldn't get the line to come out straight and with smooth edges. The lines comes out bumpy every time. I have to press down really hard to try to get the ink to come out since the tip dries up really fast. Wouldn't ever buy again.

I've always wanted to try this because it comes in such a nice packaging; however I found this to be kind of sticky and drying for my lips. I bought this in Pink Whisper and I love the color but I had to keep reapplying. It wasn't moisturizing at all. It was really tacky for me. I'm surprised it had great reviews on it though. The product was really thick for me. My hair clung to it like crazy.

I actually quite like this due to all the many great reviews. I bought this in the mauve color and the color is so pretty!!! I used to be a lip gloss gal back in high school but now that I'm older I prefer lipstick because I don't like how my hair clings to my lip gloss. Wow! This is the exception though. The color stays true to what you see on the outside of the tube. It has a nice velvety texture most similar to a lipstick. I really like this about this lip gloss. It's not sticky nor tacky. It's also very moisturizing and I find that after the gloss is gone, it leaves a pretty stain on your lips afterwards. The smell is also bearable. I usually don't like lip gloss because I find that the smell is more "perfumey" than lipsticks but this has just the perfect scent. I'm not quite sure what it smells like but like I said it's bearable. Great lip gloss!!!

I like how this mascara gives you the option of a straight brush or a curved brush. Because I find it easier to maneuver with a straight brush I bought the straight brush. It makes my lashes look super long. I was surprised especially since it's a drugstore brand and I think psychologically we all have it in our heads that super expensive brands might be better. I like how it doesn't clump after I applied 2 or 3 coats of it. It doesn't seem to hold my curl well and that's why I gave it 8 stars. Also it doesn't thicken the way I wanted it to. After using this for a week, I find that the mascara dries really fast too. My tube looks like it's months old. I wanted that va va oomph to my lashes. Instead I got natural looking lashes--which would be great if that's what you're aiming for but me personally, I prefer thick bold lashes that doesn't smudge, clump or flake. Sad to say I'm still on the hunt for that "perfect" mascara but overall this is by far the best drugstore mascara I've ever used!!!

Hate the consistency of this. It is comparable to a sunblock/sunscreen. It is super thick and white, making it really hard for me to rub until the whiteness is gone. It's not moisturizing as well. It reminds me of those cheap lotion you can purchase at the Dollar Tree. My skin does become soft after a couple minutes once the product has fully absorbed but as a moisturizing product, I wouldn't recommend this. I hate having to blend several long minutes before the product is no longer white that I will no longer be using this and will return back to Ulta so I won't be able to tell you if my dark spots have diminished according to this product's claim. Other than that, this product has a hint of grapefruit smell to this if you love the smell of grapefruit.

I hate putting this on because it is really greasy. My face has an ultra reflective sheen after applying it on. It is also very thick almost like the consistency of a sunblock or sunscreen, making it hard to blend so the whiteness of the product would absorb properly. I bought this because it claimed to reduce redness but I find that it didn't do that. My face still looks the same so I have to use green primer to neutralize my red undertone afterwards. Because it has SPF, I was hoping to use this during the summer months but because it makes my skin look super oily, I recommend using it during the harsh winter months when your skin seems to be more drying and then seal this with powder on top to diminish the shine.
