I wouldn't recommend this product for those who are looking for a high-end creme eyeshadow or have never used creme eyeshadow before, but otherwise, it's a fun makeup item that's really cheap and easy to experiment with. Applicators are not included, so use Q-tips/brushes/your fingers. The colors are pretty vibrant and shimmery (I have Cafe au Lait and Envy), so you can wear them when you want dramatic/noticeable eyeshadow. If you're looking for a few go-to eyeshadows, don't buy these, but otherwise, they're worth a shot!

I bought the Green NYC Color Stick as my first concealer. It was very very gooey and felt heavy on my face. Used sparingly, it can help cover red blemishes and acne, but it irritated my skin, so I wouldn't recommend this for people with sensitive skin.

I don't use concealer a lot, but I liked the shades that Physicians Formula offered. After a few uses, the concealer got kind of gooey and sticky, but it offers adequate coverage and covers up undereye circles well.

I have the ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Sun-Kissed. It's a little too dark for my skin, but it blends pretty well and gives a tanned glimmer. Since it's only $1.00, there's not that much bronzing powder in it, but it's definitely good for a few months.

At 1st gland, the Maybelline New York Expert Wear Eye Shadow Singles are compact and come in beautiful/vibrant colors. I bought 2 Maybelline Singles, in Antique Jade and Turquoise Jewel. As with most Maybelline products, the eyeshadow applicators aren't very good. The colors come on iridescently and a bit sheer, so if you're in the market for colors that are a bit more dramatic than neutrals but don't want to run the risk of looking like a circus clown, you might want to look into these eyeshadows. Personally, they didn't turn out to be as opaque as I would have liked, so I probably won't be buying more of these.

The NYC New York Color Mod Quad Creme Eyeliner & Eyeshadow was the first eyeshadow set that I bought. It's especially easy for beginners to use because it labels each compartment and comes with directions. However, the applicator is cheap and can be a little tricky (especially for the eyeliner). It doesn't compare with better products, but if you're looking to experiment with some new colors or a new look, the NYC Quad wouldn't hurt!

I bought 2 Maybelline New York Expert Wear Eye Shadow Quads when I first started wearing makeup because the color scheme was already set, making it a no-brainer for beginners. In terms of quality, the eyeshadows are a bit sheer; they mostly look the same on the eye as they do in the packaging, but you should probably invest in another product if you want a more dramatic look. Overall, this product was pretty reliable and easy to use.

I bought the Rimmel London Blush in Santa Rose and use it almost every day. It's definitely a no-frills blush; it's simple and doesn't boast any special designs/ingredients. That's what makes it so easy to use! I never have to worry about overapplying my blush or not getting the color I want. It's definitely a good product if you're looking for a basic blush!

I was really attracted to the L'Oreal Paris HiP Concentrated Shadow Duo by its packaging - cute and versatile. However, after I bought and tried on the eyeshadow (in Reckless and Riotous), it turned out to be a total disappointment. The colors definitely did not live up to their high-intensity name and looked totally different on my eyes than they had in the package. This product was definitely not worth the money that I spent on it.
