i got mine for $5 on cherryculture.com (shade 03 light)
i really like the texture and consistency of this concealer. it covers fairly flawlessly but isn't difficult to work with. i don't usually have much of a creasing problem, but it doesn't work all too well with my dry skin. i like the look of the packaging but having to stick my finger in it annoys me because my acrylics get in the way. i usually pat it on with a brush first and then blend in with my finger.
here's a swatch:

Revlon Photo Ready Concealer

i'm really into concealer, and creams are my favorite. i LOVE the sonia kashuk concealer palette, but decided i'd give this photoready a try considering i won't have to dip my fingers into a pot or anything. the texture and coverage are nice, but it creases like none other. i have dry under eyes, so if i don't set it with a powder it's sliding all over the place. if i do set it, which i prefer, i end up with chunky patches under my eyes within a few hours.
it's not bad for blemishes though.
won't be repurchasing.

this review is about nyx eyeshadow's in general, not just a specific shade. but for those who are wondering, here are the colors i have:
- Charcoal Brown
- Black
- Brown
- Dark Brown
- Palette in Mysterious Brown Eyes
these shadows are awesome! they're richly pigmented and easy to work with. one of the best eyeshadows i've ever tried, i like these even better than MAC. plus you can't beat the price.
here's a swatch of charcoal brown (with no base):

my favorite thing about this eyeliner is that it doesn't have to be sharpened, it's retractable. i like how it keeps a petite and precise shape, because that makes it ideal for tight lining and lining your water line without scraping your eyeball (ouch!), etc. it's fairly creamy, creamy enough for smudging against your lashline, but it won't rub off too easily.
i only wish it was a little more pigmented. the staying power is great, even in the waterline. i usually get about five or six hours out of it.
* a similar liner is maybelline unstoppable, and i think this one trumps that. in terms of pigmentation, this can't beat things like milani's liquif' eye or urban decay's 24/7 liners, but it is a competitor for staying power.
here's a swatch of mine in "black."

as you can tell from my ratings, these pencils are just average. i've got two, one in pure white and one in jet black. i find that even through the 8 hours of my day, the black liner under my lashline doesn't budge. of course it's not as pigmented at the end of the day, but it's still there. i use the white one in my waterline, and it definetely doesn't last all day. i don't expect it too, and i much rather my mac fascinating eye kohl. will i repurchase these? the black one, yes. the white one, no. wet n wild's white eyeliner gives me the same results in the waterline and is only 99 cents, so. pigmentation isn't great on either the black or white, but isn't bad either. i like them for lining the lashline, but not the waterline.

i LOVE LOVE LOVE it !
the primer really helps to define your lashes; the mascara, too. it makes them long and voluminous without being too clumpy or too drying. there's no better way to explain than a picture, so i'll upload one of my lashes with this on [consider i've gone through an 8 hour school day]. (:

Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation

as a powder foundation, this product sucks. it has little to no coverage and barely any pigment. however, as a face powder, it's great! i love it for setting foundation and concealer, etc. the packaging is nice, except the name quickly rubs off the front (it's still written on the back, though). i like to buff this into my skin with a kabuki brush just to keep away excess oil. if this had better coverage and actually served the purpose it's supposed to, but since it doesn't, it's not worth the price.
if you're looking for a medium-full coverage powder foundation/setting powder from the drugstore, check out revlon's colorstay pressed powder. it's designed to be a setting powder but great coverage for a powder foundation!

it's hard to complain about this product considering it only cost $1. in all honesty, it really is a great highlighter. my only beef is that the packaging is crap! its a cheap plastic tube with the most useless cap ever. it oozes out and makes a huge mess inside the "cap," if you can call it that. the product is great, the packaging is not. if you're willing to deal with the packaging and it's not a problem for you, go for it. if you're like me and the packaging issues would annoy you, avoid this.
