Personally, I love these palettes for a variety of reasons. You get 3 matte shadows and 3 shimmery shadows that coordinate wonderfully. But in order for you to make the best assumption on whether you will like them, I'll ask a few questions and they rate the product on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best, 1 the worst), as well as say yes or no.
Are they chalky? Yes. 8.
Are they pigmented? Yes. 10.
Are they worth the money? Yes. 10.
Are they true to color? Yes. 10.
Are they blendable? Yes. 9.
Should you give them a try? Absolutely.

After hearing all of the hype about Wet 'n Wild's color icon palettes, I had to try a few out.
I LOVE THEM!
Some people complain that they're the chalkiest eyeshadows they've ever used. Personally, I do agree that they're a little chalky. However, they're VERY pigmented, and glide on like a dream. You get 3 shimmery shadows, and 3 matte shadows that all coordinate beautifully. I definetely recommend trying some of wet 'n wild's eyeshadows out. Especially for the price, you can't go wrong. I promise you won't be diappointed.

This is one of the three eyeshadow base's that NYX makes (I have reviewed the other two separately). Of all three, this is my favorite. Rather than get into a lengthy review of it like I have previously done, I will ask a few about the product and then rate it on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best, 1 the worst).
Does it prevent creasing? 7.
Does it make eyeshadows appear more vibrant? 9.
Does it make your eye makeup longer wearing? 9.
Is it easy to apply? 10.
Could it be worn alone? 10. (Depending on your skin tone).
hope you try it out (: x

This is one of the three eyeshadow bases made by NYX (I have reviewed the other two separately). Personally, I don't feel that this product does as it claims to do. It's doesn't prevent creasing, doesn't make eyeshadows more vibrant, and doesn't make your eye makeup wear longer. It is very pretty, but you definetely need a primer underneath it. While it may not serve it's purpose as a base, it certainly does other things.
This "base" is a great way to add sparkle/shimmer to any of your matte eyeshadows. Beware, this product is quite "shimmery." No fallout, but it does glisten in the light. Because of this, I love to use it on my lazy days. Whenever i don't feel like really applying eye makeup, I throw a wash of this base from my lashline up to my browbone. It instantly opens your eyes, and makes you look more awake. Must say, I do love it.

NYX carries 3 eyeshadow bases (that vary only in color), and one HD eye primer. This eyeshadow base is very much like a cream shadow. It is a completely opaque white.
I've heard some people complain of creasing when using this product, but I have never experienced even the slightest bit of budginging with this product. It lasts all the way through my long, rough high school day.
If you already own the NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk, this is a waste of money, because they are practically the same thing.
Does it last all day? YES.
Does it crease? NO.
Does it make eyeshdows more vibrant? YES.
i love it, and i think you should try it. (: x

i have heard such great things about this concealer quad, and after all the hype, i had to try it out.
i've only been using it for about a week, but so far i LOVE it.
it's hard to tell from the picture, but what you actually get is a salmon tinted concealer to cover dark circles (top left), a skin toned concealer (bottom left), and green tinted concealer to cover redness/blemishes (bottom right), and a powder to set your concealers (top right).
this really does do a great job of concealing flaws. it glides on smooth and creamy, offering medium-full coverage. i haven't had any trouble with this melting off during the day, etc., and that says a lot seeing as i run around all day being a highschool freshman.
the only downside of this palette is that it only comes in one shade. lucky for me, this matches my skin. extremely fair girls or darker girls, this isn't for you (unless you blend it reaaaally well?). it does really disappoint me that this only comes in one set of colors. it makes me feel like so many people are left out! ):
overall, i do recommend giving it a go.
hope this helped. x

on with the review:
this brush is by far my favorite powder brush! (however, i do prefer kabuki brushes)
for the price, you can't beat it. it's soft, fluffy, and very dense (considering it's only $10). i find that i works great for both powders and powder foundations (doesn't give much coverage, though). the one thing that i don't like about this brush (and some other brushes from the collection) is that the larger brushes (powder brush, blush brush, foundation brush, etc.) are very large at the base. the purpose of this is so that you're able to simply rest your brush down on a tabletop for storage. personally, i hate this because i like to be able to put my brushes away, and this makes traveling with them a bit more difficult. however, if your into that, it's no problem.
i really love these brushes, and i cerainly suggest you give them a go.
hope this helped. x

if you watch the pixiwoo sisters on youtube, you've seen/heard of these brushes before. these "real techniques by samantha chapman" brushes are affordable, high-quality brushes. i picked up quite a few of them, including the blush brush.
the blush brush is quite dense, soft, fluffy, and it's tapered at the end. this makes both precise application and blending a breeze! the larger brushes of the collection (blush brush, powder brush, foundation brush, etc.) have extremely wide handles at the base, though. the purpose of this is so that you can rest them directly on your table top while doing your makeup. personally, i don't like this because i like to be able to put my brushes away & they just don't fit. but if you're into that, then you'll love these.
i honestly do think these brushes are worth a go.

the quality of this foundation primer, in my opinion, is average. most of e.l.f.'s products are inexpensive and of average quality, but this is of almost average quality with an average price. the container makes it look like you're getting so much more than you actually are. a nice thing about it is that it has a pump, but the pump gets easily clogged and it's difficult to control how much product comes out.
e.l.f.'s studio mineral infused face primer did it's job for the most part -- my foundation (maybelline's dream matte mousse) will glide on smoothly. however, i did not see an extention in the wearing time of my face makeup. i can't tell you much more about this product as i have only used it about 3 or 4 times. but what i can tell you is that i will never be using it again, because it has broken me (and many others, check YouTube reviews) out.
hope this helped x

try it out, you can't go wrong (:
this foundation does just as it claims to do: blend evenly and deliver pure matte perfection.
maybelline's dream matte mousse is a light, air-whipped foundation. it's texture literally feels like touching chocolate mousse.
it's light and not cakey, and best applied with your fingers (to warm it up). so, it's great for beginners or those who have no brushes, or no time. i definetely reccomend setting it, however. this isn't one of those foundations you wear on a warm day, because it will slip and slide and melt right off your face (when sweating, or if your face becomes EXTREMELY oily; i have oily skin in most areas & haven't had any problems unless in the heat).
with a primer, this foundation does literally glide on like a dream. but, it's very important that you buff it into your skin very well. this will give you a flawless finish.
i don't reccomend this foundation to people with dry skin, because it does cling to dry patches. if you have combination skin like i do, you can get away with it. if you let a moisturizer sink into your skin for about 5 minutes before you put your primer on, the dry patches aren't even noticable.
overall, i really like this foundation and for the price, you can't beat it.
hope this helped! x
