This is good for touchups on the go, or if you know you have to put on makeup somewhere not at home, where you're not the most comfortable doing it. It's a few quick swipes and you can blend with your hand. It IS kind of like a soild though, so once you put some effort into pressing down and swiping your face with it, you'll get a decent amount of foundation, which means having to blend it FAST, otherwise it will kind of stay there and look cakey. This is really my last resort type of foundation. If I have time and if I'm at home I'd rather use something foolproof and take my time with it.

LIke the title says, LIQUID CYBER LIP makes you think of an out of this world fantastic magic lip look, so I think any gloss would disappoint with an overhyped title like that. But this one more so. I have the color Tenda Pink, it's a pale shimmery vanilla color. The effect is actually very natural and you can probably layer it over lipstick too, but since it's a vanilla lip gloss I would imagine the tube would get muddied up pretty fast if I smudged the wand on top of different colors all the time. Overall, kinda expensive for an average gloss.

I do agree it's hard to control application with this packaging; but it's amusing with their play on nail polish. Nobody believes me when I show this that it's actually a lip product (haha). The shimmer and shine is amazing, it's definitely an evening gloss for me. The color Sizzle is a nice raspberry shine and it smells great too.

Covers up bluish purple undereye circles nicely. Has somewhat of a liquidy consistency and was difficult for me to blend with my hands, but good with a concealer brush. I don't recommend this when you know you're going to be crying later, because it tends to run and streak a little bit, probably because it's so watery. Other concealers tend to hold up better with that. And it is organic so don't store this for months/years at a time because it will eventually start to smell bad, especially if you open it right away. Otherwise no complaints!

Loved this foundation! Good choice for natural liquid foundation (the powder mineral ones are too drying in the winter). Covers up red cheeks nicely, easy to blend, and good color match for fair skin with pink undertones.

I got this lipstick originally in the NYX Back to the 60s Set that came with liquid liner and mascara (seems to be discontinued now). The lip color is HIPPIE CHIC, it's a light peachy pink. Well they didn't lie about the MATTE part. It's VERY matte to the point that it accentuates every line in your lips. I'd use this more for a costume look for Halloween rather than a regular makeup look. NYX used this color in their Back to the 60s set therefore it's a good fit for a retro look or something, but this is def not to be used for the "natural" look. Looks great in the summer with bronzy skin, but it did dry out my lips, even when I put lip balm underneath.

I agree with the previous post that the palette does seem to waste space on extremely similar shades; maybe they were trying to please everybody's skin tone with this set and offer the entire shade selection. THe glosses in the set I don't really care for, they are way too sticky for me. The blushes are beautiful and very pigmented. The shadows themselves can be worn alone or blended together. Way too much black than I'll ever need though. I do reach for this though as the first thing that comes to mind when I go out for evening looks.

Got this kit in Light; it includes a mini concealer (but will last forever, because it somehow manages to spread out and cover half your face with less than a drop), a berry shimmery lip gloss and a shimmery reddish blush. I subtract 1 star because the concealer is too yellow for my skin (I have bluish dark undereye circles and pink undertones). I couldn't get used to the blush at first; it seemed too dark and way too shimmery and forget about applying it on bare cheeks; it just looked wrong. I've figured out how to use it though - use a good foundation on the cheeks to cover up natural redness, then I put a pale pink matte blush as a bit of a base, and the LG blush goes on top of that as a mild final layer to add some glow/shimmer and deepen the blush tint. I spread that all the way up my cheekbones to the hairline and this makes your cheeks the star of the show. No complaints with the lip gloss; it's a natural berry color and you can use it on its own or on top of lipstick; I've done both, looks great!

Hautelook used to have Bellapierre often a few years ago, not so much anymore and too bad! I got this kit for Fair skin and was not disappointed. It's very pricey natural makeup but someone who has sensitive oily/combo skin prone to redness it might be worth it. Kit includes 2 mineral foundations, one light and one dark; can blend them together or use separately depending on skin tone. Also includes a blush and bronzer, with 3 brushes. They are both shimmery and I find that I have to be careful with applying them both because they are very pigmented and the face might look garrish if you apply too much. The color choices would even be good for medium toned skin; I subtract 1 star for the fact that I think for the fair skin set the colors of the blush and bronzer could have been lighter. Overall the foundation gives good coverage and a nice glow, and I've been using the brushes for about 2 years now - they are great also. I would probably purchase again.

Got this in the color Peach. LOVE this gloss. First of all, I tend to lick gloss off my lips throughout the day and I'd rather be licking organic gloss instead of all those chemicals. The color was a light pretty peach tint that I had been trying to find forever. Gives pretty good color payoff, looks amazing with dark eye makeup, and the more you put on the better - never looks overdone. It's not shimmery or metallic, it's just right.
