I have deep medium/dark skin with golden undertones and I have to say after years of searching for a light concealer, this one takes the cake! I've always tried to use the more high end brands (thing Bobbi Brown, Vincent Longo, etc) thinking that you have to spend money to have a good concealer...I was wrong. I will say that I dont have breakouts of blemishes and was looking for an UNDER EYE ONLY concealer...and that is what this item is good for. It's very light, very natural..just used for a little pick me up but not for breakouts or redness. It lightens under the eyes and blends in so well...very natural, no caking. I'm very impressed with this item and didn't expect that it would work so well. This is one of the few make up items that I own that made me throw out all of my other concealers, that's how great this works! So if you want a light coverage undereye concealer, then go for this one...if you want something more heavy duty then I would say that it's not for you. Note: the applicator can be a little heavy at times...scrape it off before applying otherwise it will just look like you put on too much concealer. Not a great product for layering.

I'm always looking for the perfect liner for my under eye area/waterline that won't run and give me dark under eyes or mess with my contacts. This one is pretty good...the staying power is decent, but I do have to reapply after an hour or two. The part I like most about this is that it doesn't bother my contacts and this is really hard to do when you are trying to wear heavy eye makeup or just line all around the eyes. This is the only liner that I can use for that purpose, so I am sticking to it. Do I think it could be a litlte bit more inky or dark, yes...and for that I cannot call it perfection. So far the closes thing to perfection ...every now and then I'll try to use another liner and then I come back to this one. Kind of a surprise that I come back so much because I didn't think I loved it...but alas, it has won it's way into my heart and become a staple that I would miss if it were not there. So I guess this product is better than I originally thought...it grows on you. Try it.

I love this liner. Really. It's dark and inky, glides on smooth, doesn't smudge...it's a dream. I thought I hit the jackpot with this liner...and then I wore it with my contacts in. This completely blurred out my contacts no matter how many times i blinked or washed them out...just put black spots all over. I tried to wear it another time and not line my undereye,but soon or later...i couldn't see again. I kept trying to wear this because it goes on BEAUTIFULLY and is truly perfect, but nope, could never work with my contacts. I got plenty of compliments on my eye make up when i wore it, too bad I couldn't see it myself. Sadly enough, we had to break up....

Not impressive at all...this eyeliner goes on your eyelid like a light, dirty water....has no impact at all. I tried shaking it and it was just never dark enough for me. (I have black eyelashes and darker skin). There was nothing about this eyeliner that I liked, including the fact that once I layered it on ...it smudged off anyway. God forbid you try to wear this with shadow, the shadow will just cover it or shine through. Not a fan of this product at all.

I have been using this product for years and no matter how many different eyeliners I use, this one is absolutely fantastic...it's always my go to for eyeliner and gives me anything from a thin line or barely there eyeliner to a more dramatic cat eye. Yes, the applicator is a little bit stiff at first...but after a few uses it works just fine. I've also never had a liquid eyeline that stays on for so long without any smudging. So staying power is also great on this item. My one gripe...this is NOT for the undereye area. I also wish it had more a wet look over matte, but the deep blackness makes up for that (never fades). Also, this doesn't bother contacts.

When I first got this mascara, I was pretty happy with it. My lashes were somewhat thicker and for a drugstore brand I was ok with this item, not impressed and not mad about buying it...but just ok. Then after a few weeks I noticed that the formula got super dry...like to the point where I couldn't really get it on my lashes and if I did get it on my lashes it would clump, flake, go into my contacts. Definitely not something that I would buy again. There are much better drugstore brands out there that do a better job. I will say that I like the thickness of the brush, it's just the formula that needs help.

I absolutely love and swear by this cheek stain - I have it in a few colors (Tickled, Flushed) and I will say that it glides on beautifully (I have a darker skin tone) and looks absolutely fresh. If you want that dewy, glowing look then go for this item and become addicted...BUT I have two issues: it takes a lot to get it on and make it show up because most of the colors really are sheer washes...so layer, layer, layer unti you are satisfied. The other issue is that I think it rubs off...so the lasting power on this item isn't the greatest..but I expect that is because it moisturizes so well. A GREAT blush if you have dry skin, just keep an eye on it to make sure that it stays on. (The stick is a bit too chunky for a clutch so keep an eye out for the mini sets that Tarte puts out sometimes).

I have a deeper skin tone and golden undertones and though O*gasm is said to be universally perfect, I am going to have to go with Deep Throat for that title. It definitely gives you that glow from within look...but I can do without the shimmer in this blush. However, I will say that maybe the shimmer was needed so that the blush wouldn't look caked on or drying as most powder blushes do...somewhat effective. This is a good blush, not my absolute most favorite (I'm more a cheek stain person) but it's good for a blush. Not sure that it's worth the hefty price tag but if you want to invest in a good powder blush then try this. Another interesting point is that this blush isn't so dramatic that you wouldnt want to wear it any time, so for that reason it gets a few more points. Good powder blush, but i'm sure there a some better ones for lesser price. Still experimenting, so this falls on the high end of the scale.

I received this item as a present and I have to say, I wasn't too thrilled by it. It feels like it's a little oily, but then dries really dry very quickly...and I dont see what it does for my skin other than sit on it. It may smooth out my skin just a little bit, but for the most party I dont think this is worth buying or using. It's one of those extra products that does nothing for your face. Much better primers out there (Laura Mercier Radiance = Amazing). I just feel that you are rubbing something that is made of chemicals on your face as a "cover" over your face and never allows the real beauty of your skin to shine through. Not a fan.

Bought this lotion by mistake, used it, noticed the difference and THEN looked at the bottle and realized that it was firming. Great lotion for the summer months when you want something refreshing and a little lighter. High recommended.
