I have the eyeliner in a dark brown color. I have hazel/brown eyes, and this eyeliner has such a nice shade of brown that it makes my eyes stand out even though it is kind of matchy-matchy. One swipe and I had a creamy line that did smudge easily, but only when I wanted it too. Plus, since it was brown, any accidental smudging gave my eyes a sultry look that blended well with the rest of many of my makeup looks. I really liked it and it was really cheap. The only thing that kept me from giving it a 9 is that it wears flat quickly, and you have to sharpen it often. When you initially sharpen it, it hurts to use on your eye, but when it gets too flat after a few uses, you have to push hard and that hurts too. As long as your careful about how hard you press, it is easy and wonderful to use.

I bought the color London, which is a matte tan color. I thought it would have a neutral, edgy look. It was disappointing. The applicator it comes with isn't great, but it's hard to get a brush into the tube, and then it is also hard to get product off the applicator and on to a brush. It thought it felt weird and greasy, but it still dried my lips off. Also, the color wore off so quickly. That's why I ran out so fast. I wore it only a few times, but I had to reapply so much because it wore off really quickly. I have always liked NYX for having good quality makeup at affordable prices, but this was just disappointing.

This eyeshadow trio was a gift (mine has the dark matte brown, a shimmery grey-taupe, and a light satiny-shimmery cream color), and when I saw that the package said "For Sexy Babe's Eyes Only," I had high expectations. I was not disappointed. This was my first real eyeshadow ever. I got it when I transitioned from kiddie sparkly makeup from Claire's to legitimately doing/loving doing makeup. Even though there are only three shadows, I was able to create of variety of looks that inspired me to start experimenting with other makeup looks and colors. You can get a lighter look with a sheer wash of color from 1 or 2 of the lighter shades, or get more drama just by placing the darker color in your crease, under your bottom lashes, or on the outside corner of your eye. This is my classic, trusty first palette and it is good quality for a low price.

I love this liner, except I never use it for my eyes. I use the brown shade for my eyebrows. I bought it, and after I swatched it on my hand, I realized it wasn't the right shade of brown I wanted to line my eyes. I was disappointed until one day when I was desperately rushing to get ready for school and I grabbed it to do my eyebrows. I was able to get precise strokes, and when I put a spoolie through my eyebrows, it blended well, looking very natural and making my thick eyebrows look full and even. I love it, and as soon as it runs out, I will definitely purchase another one. A great buy, and it does line the eyes well (it's just not a shade I want to line my eyes with). I would recommend this for an eyeliner, or if you have darker eyebrows, try seeing if you can make it work for your brows.

I love this powder makeup so much! It is one of the very few drugstore products I have rebought. I first bought a warmer ivory shade, as I have fair skin. It is so blendable and buildable that I can use it with a light eye shadow as a highlighter when I contour or with nothing as a foundation when I want lighter coverage. It blends well on bare skin, primer, and foundation. I also bought a darker beige color to use as a contour, It turned out to not be strong enough to contour my face, but when I blended it with my go to shade, it still looked natural on my skin while giving a subtle tan so that I looked like I was sun kissed. I blend this with the warm ivory shade and a little shimmery bronzer on my cheeks and nose to achieve that look. I use this powder practically everyday, and it travels well because it comes with a mirror and applicator in the compact. There are also so many colors to pick from that you're bound to find a shade that's perfect to match your skin tone or contour/bronze your skin tone.

I have the nude version of this product. It has a lot of shimmery light pinks, beiges, golds, and champagnes. I use it for a highlighting blush typically. While one can make it look like a lovely glowing highlight/flush (particularly on fair and medium skin tones), it is temperamental. For example, if I do not put just the littlest bit on my brush and tap it off enough, it will looks fake and sparkly and over done. While it blends when you use a sparing amount, it is hard to blend once there's a lot on: it just spread around so the shimmer is all over your cheeks. If you have a lot of patience and precisions, this product could work out for you. I think the less shimmery, deeper shades would most likely be more blendable and looks more natural even if you put too much on. I hope that if I try out a darker color that works out. Overall, it looks good if you do it carefully, but if it looks bad, it looks really bad. No in betweens.

I bought the primer for blurring and redness control to cover up the inflammation I get from heat, stress, acne, and emotions. It does a pretty good job correcting general redness on my cheeks, but the redness I get around pimply areas I don't get the same correction. But, I do like how you can see that the product is green (which cancels red) but it blends into the skin sheerly, so that if I'm in a rush or don't feel like wearing a lot of makeup, a layer of this will even out my skin tone along with some concealer. I would not entirely rely on this for perfect tone without other products, like foundation and concealer thought because it does not help with small areas red from acne. For the reasonable price, I think it's worth a try to see if it helps with your skin. I haven't tried the other primers, but I have heard similar things about them also being sheer and lightweight.

I was skeptical about trying out another Maybelline foundation: the Dream Mousse had been such a let down. However, this foundation turned out to be okay. I have to be careful about how much I use, however, as it can start to make me look greasy like the Dream Mousse did, But, if I use it sparingly and blend well, it does the job. I probably won't buy it again, as I am looking to invest in a more expensive foundation that does wonders for my skin instead being just okay. I think this foundation would be really great for people with dry skin or dry/combo skin, however.

I thought this foundation would be light and give me even coverage without covering my freckles up or feeling like it was suffocating my skin because of the name. I was sorely mistaken. This foundation comes in many colors, so matching your skin tone is easy, but other than that everything about it sucks. Putting one layer on, I felt like I had poured grease on my face, but I had streaky, thin coverage that did not even out my tone. It made my combination/oily skin look greasy all over, not just in the t-zone. To top it off, it blends poorly and because it was so oily, putting powder blush, finishing powder, contour powder, powder highlighter, or anything else powdery would stick and smear around in the grease. And then, putting on cream versions of the aforementioned products would just cause the make up to feel even heavier. I hated it. I tried it for a few days and ended up tossing it out because it was clogging my pores up so much that I was beginning to break out. A very disappointing purchase.

This eyeliner when I first bought it was great: affordable, rich pigmentation, easy application with the brush, smooth defined line, etc. But, it started getting dry and crumbly really quickly, and excess product is still caked on the brush. Cleaning the brush has become a real chore. Also, now that it is drying out, while it is usable, one swipe gives me a spotty, uneven line, and I have to put on many layers. Also, cleaning up mistakes with this eyeliner is difficult, regardless of how long you have had the product. I would recommend only buying this liner if you feel like you have a great place to store it and don't plan on travelling with it.
