I actually read the reviews before I bought this and was expecting it to be pretty bad with such a low rating. I only bought it because it was on clearance and I had a coupon, so I got it really cheap and figured I'd give it a try. It turned out to be pretty decent! It definitely leaves you with the tingly feeling that most plumpers do, but it does not deliver a Dolly Parton type look. However, the gloss itself is pretty good in terms of lasting power and shine. The taste is very subtle and it's slightly sticky but not so much that it's super annoying. I think it's a pretty good gloss in general.

I was skeptical about buying this cream shadow. But it was on sale at Walgreens, so I decided to give it a go. I got steely to use as a base for a smoky eye. I really really really like this! It goes on really smoothly and it lasted all day!!! It didn't crease either! I'm seriously contemplating getting another color because I'm so impressed by the quality! Definitely would recommend this product!

I love black eyeliner, and I had read some rave reviews about this one. I wasn't sure whether or not to buy it initially because it seemed like a lot of work to have to "paint" it on. And also, I thought that it would definitely smudge seeing how it is a cream liner. But OMG! This is the best eyeliner I have probably ever used. I bought it in Black, and it is BLACK...not gray black, not brown black, not soft black...BLACK! And that's WONDERFUL for me because I have jet black eyelashes, so anything that's even a shade lighter than black doesn't look as good. And the staying power is AMAZING. It didn't smudge AT ALL. Even after I washed my face, it wasn't all gone! I adore this eyeliner, and it's definitely worth trying out...especially when it comes on the BOGO sale!

These glosses are really nice. I bought it based on the reviews I read on here. And it was on sale at Rite Aid, so I was willing to give it a shot. It's actually pretty long lasting. Mine stayed on for a few hours! And I couldn't really taste or smell anything noticeable. However, it was stickier than I expected, but I guess that's why it stayed on so long. Otherwise, great gloss :)

I got this brush in a smaller size with the kit I bought, and I first I was very skeptical. I didn't think I'd be able to use it beyond just swatching eye shadows. But, boy was I wrong! This brush delivers product perfectly and evenly onto your skin! I was super impressed, and probably more so because I felt deceived by initially looking at it. Excellent brush!

I actually bought the Urban Decay Book of Shadows that comes with the UDPP travel size, 2 brushes, and 16 shades. I was going back and forth between whether to buy it or not because I'm not used to putting out much money for makeup. But after reading the other reviews on UD shadows and how amazing they are, I decided to give it a try. Plus, all 16 shades were beautiful. It wasn't like kit where there were only a few colors that you love and everything else was just so-so. No way...this palette had 16 gorgeous shades. So I bought it, and let me say, "PLEASE BELIEVE THE HYPE!" I tested a few shades, and the color came on SO TRUE and SO BEAUTIFUL. I took a nap right after to test the staying power....I woke up and the makeup did NOT budge. And to top that off, I didn't even use the primer!!! I must have been missing out my whole life never having used Urban Decay eyeshadow. I was so happy I purchased the palette because it definitely is an investment. My ONLY gripe is that the shades that contain sparkles tend to lose the glitter all over your face, but other than that, the colors are gorgeous and the wear is amazing!!! MUST HAVE product!

I saw this in the store and asked the girl working there how good these brushes were. The packaging boasted its environmental friendliness in both the actual brush as well as the package. The girl told me her friend owned these brushes and that they were good. So, I decided to try out the eyeshadow brush. I love it SO much I bought a second one. The application is great and I love the feel of the handle. It kind of holds like a paintbrush in your hand. But it's a great value and a great brush. I would probably go and get the entire set later on too.

I'm not a big liquid eyeliner fan, but I must say that this pen is great for days I want more of a dramatic effect. It applies an even amount and it's relatively easy. I like that it's in a pen-like applicator because the ones with brushes tend to get messy. Overall very good product :)

This lip gloss is AMAZING! I read the reviews before I bought it, but I had some skepticism because a few people said they were let down. Let me just say how AWESOME this gloss is. It is shiny, non-sticky, moisturizing, and long lasting. And it smells like caramel without having any obnoxious taste. It gave me the exact look I was going for - the "I just ate a popsicle" look. But, if you want your lips to stop traffic, this isn't the gloss for you. It's VERY sheer, and also, it doesn't come with any applicator - so you need to have a brush or use Qtips or your finger (kinda gross). Other than that, I LOVE it - and it's worth getting it on a B1G1 sale :)

I stocked up on these today. They were on a mega clearance sale at Walgreens, so I got several different colors. They are reminiscent of Maybelline's Shadow Stylist and Victoria's Secret's Beauty Rush eye shadows because they all have the same applicator. So, if you're not a big fan of the little dip-in sponge brush, I wouldn't suggest you go for this... BUT, I liked those sponge brushes...and more so the actual shadow itself. So, I went on a limb and bought these. So far, I've tried the aqua colored one, and it's very beautiful. They're also great for on the go because even though they're powder shadows, they won't spill as long as you hold the bottle upright. Overall, great product. And I will get very good use out of it :)
