I was given the Cover Girl Outlast and was disappointed with it so I wanted to give this one a shot to see if it was any better. Sadly, it was exactly the same thing, only the color selection is a bit different. With this on, it made my lips dry and cracked. Applying the moisture stick does help but only temporarily as it comes off way too soon and I had to keep reapplying it throughout the day to keep moisture on my lips. I also hated the way the product felt and it made me want to remove it. When the color dries up, it crinkles up and flakes off in irregular patches. It lasts long only if you don't eat anything oily because oily foods tend to take it right off but since I hated the way the product felt, I didn't care if it lasted long at all. I just wanted it off. Won't be using any of these types of products ever again.

This mascara is really nothing special. Even Maybelline's Mascaras worked better than this for cheaper. Left my lashes clumpy with that spider legs effect. Didn't do anything to make lashes thick or long either.

Black Honey is a pretty color. It looks scary dark in the tube but glides on smoothly in a sheer, berry finish. At first I didn't think the color would suit my medium skin w/ yellow undertones but it actually does. It gives me that sophisticated, put together look without looking overdone. Too bad it disappears off my lips sooner than I prefer. At best, I can get about 2hrs off of it without eating/drinking anything. It does leave a slight berry tint when the color fades. I love the slim, sleek packaging but the lasting power doesn't make this one worth it for me.

This is one item that's either always in my bag or in my pocket. It comes in a tube much like Chapstick does and also has the ease of application. I have Monday, Wednesday and Champagne Brunch..all very flattering colors for my medium skin w/yellow undertones. It doesn't have as much shine as other lip balms but it feels like one. Staying power is average, maybe 3-4 hrs without eating/drinking anything but it's small enough that you can take it with you anywhere for re-application when needed. What I really love about this item is the sunscreen it contains as well as providing sheer color and convenience of application all in one.

I love UD products, especially their shadow primers and eye shadows but I wasn't too enthralled with their lip stains. For one, there are only 3 colors to choose from and two of them happen to be pink based. The other "nude" color they had doesn't really show up on me. I purchased the color Envious as it seemed at the time to be the best color option but unfortunately, it wasn't as flattering on me as I hoped it would be. It also didn't last long. Applying lip balm or lip gloss on top which is necessary for added moisture with any lip stain, made it disappear quicker. While the container it comes in is real cute (just like a lot of UD's products), the lip stain itself wasn't too impressive. I don't know how it wears on the cheeks as I've never tried it there. I'm giving it 2 stars because I really liked the container and the applicator.

For the price, I honestly didn't expect much from this but I was wrong. This blush is great in quality, length of wear and the results you get, which is a subtle glow to the cheeks. I can honestly say it almost compares to my much more expensive blushes. This product is an excellent bang for your buck.

I don't wear lipstick on a regular basis as I prefer lip gloss or stain but nevertheless I bought two of them. One is Gamba which is a wine w/ slight shimmer and Evengeline, which is coral. I like Gamba but hate Evangeline. For some reason, the coral color looks pinkish on my lips instead of coral and made me look sickly and washed out. The consistency is nice which is creamy and has a slight shine to it. The finish is also pretty creamy and semi sheer. I love the box it came in though. I think it's cute. I haven't planted the seeds yet but I commend cargo for the cool idea, not to mention the containers are recyclable.

I love the way my makeup stayed in place when using this. It did not budge all day. Unfortunately after a couple hours, my face felt dry especially around the mouth and chin areas. It isn't something that can't be remedied with moisturizer though so I just apply moisturizer first before applying this. I like the fact is has sun block in it but if not blended well, it leaves a sort of whitish cast on the face because of the zinc oxide it contains. The product goes on semi-sheer but dries to a matte finish. Great for women with oily skin. Length of wear is excellent, lasting all day and even into the night. For the price, I wish it came in a bigger container. This stuff is not cheap and if used everyday, it can run out very quick.

I find it works much better with matte lipsticks than it does with creamy or satin finish ones. You do have to let it dry slightly to a tacky finish and then apply your lipstick. Made lipstick application very smooth and I like the way it felt on my lips which is very light and not gooey. I didn't notice a big change in the way my lipstick looked though. If anything, it just made it look smoother. Length of wear is about average. I tried using it under lip gloss to see if it will make it last a bit longer. Unfortunately, it doesn't work too well with glosses.

I was intrigued by this line when it first came out so I got myself 3 of them. I have Poise, which is pink with a hint of yellow in it and looks great for my skin tone. I also have You Say Tomato which is the perfect red for my lips and Orange Dare, which almost looks like a loud orange. I love the way it feels on my lips and glides on perfectly upon application. I do top it off with lip gloss or lip balm for added moisture because matte lipsticks tend to dry out my lips, including these. Length of wear is excellent. The key is in the application. Too bad they don't sell the ones I have anymore.
