I like this concealer quite a bit. It works better if you use it over a primer first. The coverage is much more even that way. The product goes on quite smoothly and the doe foot applicator is nice instead of a brush. As for the highlighter, i like it, but not as much as the concealer. It works well after a night of no sleep, but otherwise it almost brightens the area too much. A little of both product go a long way, so for three bucks this is a good makeup investment.

The new Studio line from ELF is THE best. I use this to set my ELF eye shadow, and this keeps it looking fresh and true all day long. I haven't had any issues with color fad or creasing yet, even in the summer heat. I love the eye liner side. How many times have you wished for the perfect liner color to complement your shadow but could never find one? This allows you to make any colored powder into a long lasting eye liner. Just wipe the tip off when you are done. The primer goes on very creamy, and it has such good coverage, it makes an excellent under eye concealer as well - just apply a little face powder over it to set it. I am completely thrilled with how this product works.

I took the color quiz on their website, and wasn't really sure about their choice of Lilac Petal for a color for me (I have really fair skin). Just to be on the safe side, I also ordered Citrus and Persimmon. I tried the Lilac Petal first, and was pleasantly surprised at how just a little dab makes the prettiest cheek color. It looks very natural with just a hint of shimmer. If you use a powder over it to set your makeup, it still looks wonderful, but the shimmer is toned down for a great work day look. For how well this product works, go ahead and get all the colors. I don't tan the least little bit, but if I use the Toasty color as a highlighter, it gives me this beautiful, back from a day at the beach glow without EVER looking like a fake tan.

I love that you can make your own compacts with ELF. The eyeshadow colors go on easily and are pretty pigmented, as are the blushes Using a primer, these products will stay on all day. Even in Georgia during the hot, humid, sweaty days this stuff stays put. I was pretty shocked. It comes of easily with make up remover or soap and water. My only gripe is I wish they would make more colors. A couple new ones just popped up, but still more would be nice... Like singles of their quad shadows. Overall really great product, especially for the money.

I had gotten to the point when Ithought that the only option for great brows was to buy the most expensive kits on the market as department and drug store finds just weren't making the grade. Then along comes this little compact from ELF. What a fantastic product. It makes my brows look full and controlled without looking drawn in, made up or like two catepillers are fighting on my forehead! the brush it comes with is a bit tiny, but it gets the job done. And this stuff stays put even on hot, humid days. Easily comes off with makeup remover. I have dark hair and got the middle shade, which is spot on perfect. For $3.00, this product easily outperforms any of the much more expensive brands.

At first, I thought this was a pretty good mascara. I tried the waterproof version, and it stayed in place all day. Big problem came about two weeks after using it. It started to get very clumpy in the tube and went on horribly. I returned it to the store for another, thinking maybe the one I got was out of date. The new one didn't expire for another two years, but it started to clump up again on me in about two weeks. I don't pump the brush in the tube so I don't know why this would gum up like this. It was a nice mascara while it lasted. Not a lot of volume or length, but good for running everyday errands. I can't see myself buying again for fear it would turn out to be a bad tube as well.

I put of buying this for a long time. I had been using DHC's Velvet Coat, which is also a fantastic makeup primer, but it costs twice as much. I finally broke down and purchased this, and I am so glad I did! It's not as silky feeling as the Velvet Coat, but for the price, it can't be beat. My makeup stays in place just as well, and Magix has SPF where the Velvet Coat does not. I even prefer this to samples I have tried from Smashbox and Lorac. I am excited that they now have the tinted version as well. No more foundation!!

Fresh Supernova is the best mascara I have come across in a long time. I apply a coat of this followed by a coat of Firebird for long, lush amazing lashes that might as well be fake. It never goes on clumpy or makes my lashes stick together. It even stays on in the humid heat. It comes off easily with make up remover and doesn't leave my lashes feeling brittle. Great stuff!

This mascara is fabulous! I use it over Supernova for the best looking lashes ever. It doesn't work quite as well on its own, but used after a coat of Supernova, I had beautiful lush lashes with no clumps or smudging or eyelashes sticking together like other mascaras. It also lasted all day through the humid heat without giving me raccoon eyes.

My trip to the Estee Lauder counter was far from fruitful. This product as well as the Advanced Repair eye cream and serum did not work well with my skin. I don't have sensitive skin, but wow, did this stuff make me want to run from the counter. Even though this didn't burn like the other products, this left me with not much more than an oil slick. My skin is normal to dry, but this lotion just sat on the surface. For the same price, try the Yougurt or 24 hour Wild Rose lotions by Korres. They are even all natural.
