This liner isn't really anything special. For the price, the color payoff is good & it applies smoothly. The thing that makes me say I won't repurchase this is how much it smudges. This pencil liner definitely wont last you the day since most of it will smear and smudge off your eyes at a rather quick pace. It lasts a bit better with some matching shadow over the pencil, but I'd stick to a liquid liner.

I was really disappointed in this. The liner wasn't nearly as dark as I wanted it to be & I had to apply about three coats to make certain that I didn't have a sheer black line. The liner formula is not at all long lasting for a waterproof formula; it can last the day but does seem to fade or flake off. The brush actually didn't bother me but if you aren't very good at applying liquid liners then you might have problems getting a good, even line because the brush is very flexible.

I can't comment too much on the plumping; I bought this cause I really liked the color not for plumping effects (although for the record, there wasn't really any plumping at all). I regret this purchase because the gloss itself wasn't all that great. It was rather thick which isn't a totally bad thing because it does stay on longer but I think it's way to sticky. I also hate the applicator! It's awkward and tends to put out too much product. This gets a 2 only because it was a pretty color.

Okay so you get a nice range of colors to choose from which is nice. I opted for an electric blue which was underwhelming. There isn't enough pigmentation in this so you end up having to apply a lot to get a bold shade. This includes when you apply it wet or even over a primer. I found that it also creases easily whether or not I use it wet, dry, or primed. It's not all bad though; you do get a lot of product 9especially considering the price) & it goes on smoothly with little fallout. It might be better suited for someone who prefers sheer washes of color rather than bold, high impact looks. Since I bought this for a bolder look, I have to give it a low rating.

I really, really did not like the formula of this liner. It was really water & thin and I had to apply layers to get a dark, black line which I have never had to do with any liner I have used before! The bottle went through really quickly because I had to apply a lot to get a decent line. The only thing that was alright about this liner was the applicator. It did provide easy application for thin or thick lines.

As many other reviews have pointed out, you probably won't end up with the color you thought you bought. The color in the tube is quite different than the packaging display; it didn't really bother me too much because I love the colors I purchased despite them varying from the packaging. This particular stain isn't long- lasting by any means & actually wipes off easily so don't expect to eat a meal and keep your color. I also really liked the smell of this, very fruity! I actually didn't find this drying although I haven't tried any lip-stain that has dried out my lips. Between drugstore brands, I much prefer Revlon's Just Bitten lip-stain to this but this one is loads better than CoverGirl's lip-stain! The tube also lasts quite awhile. I've had mine for several months now & I use them regularly.

I really like this blush. The color payoff isn't as good as I would have hoped but it is finely milled which translates into a nice smooth application. It is very easy to blend this blush which makes it easy to get a pretty, natural look. it isn't at all heavy which is also really nice.

This mascara works better than it's non- water-proof counter-part. The white primer seems to be easier to cover & I finally get the volume I look for! Alas, it's very, very heavy. I still had to apply about 3 coats to get that volume so it feels over-done. It's pretty smudge proof so you can get wet in this stuff but it is prone to flaking. This stuff also isn't coming off without some good make-up remover.

Skip this & save your money. There isn't a very good color selection. The formula manages to be thick and goopey while giving streaky, uneven coverage.It takes forever to dry so if you insist on trying these, make sure you save a large chunk of time to dedicate to your nails. The bottle itself doesn't last very long due to being quite thick in the first place. It soon dries up & becomes unusable. Not even a good base coat and top coat can save this.

These shadows are actually pretty awesome. Used dry, they do a decent job with coverage & lasting. I definitely prefer applying them damp for better color payoff & longevity. You can use it dry with great results if you use a primer. It will last you all day without creasing if used with a good primer. Maybelline also offers a pretty good range of colors to create tons of different looks; it own the brownish/ bronze-y quad shown & another purple smokey-eye quad and both work really well. The powder is not chalky or cheap feeling and you don't need to layer a ton on to achieve good results.
