I am generally not a fan of liquid lipsticks but this one turned out not too bad. I have the shade Trivial and it is the only nudeish shade I can wear without looking like a freak. When it dries, it has a bit of a tight feeling on the lips but nothing I couldn't deal with. It certainly wasn't transfer proof, I ate a burger with this on and only the outer portion of my lips had product on it but that isn't a big deal to someone like me. Overall I have to say the Vice line seems like a good value for the price, and I already a few other colors picked out so I will update this review once I get them and try out a variety but so far, so good -

I bought this after going on the hunt for a new eyeliner method. This is the first "pen" I've tried and while not totally impressed, this is now what I will be using until it runs out. It isn't waterproof, at all. I am not overly oily and I don't live in super humidity but I still can't get this to stay for an 8 hour day. Especially if I wing my eyeliner, my wings have usually disappeared by noon time. It certainly isn't the worst I've used but for 25$, it could certainly be better. That being said, I have yet to try it with primer on so that might be what makes the difference but I like some makeup days to be little to no fuss at all and this can sometimes do it. It also seems to dry out pretty fast but i just put a drop of water on the pen tip, flip it upside down so the lid is facing down and let it sit for 5ish minutes and it seems to "refresh" but again, I like no fuss products. Kat von D products seem to be hit or miss with me though so for now, this is really an undecided re purchase or not. I am going to be trying another brand next and see how that goes. I guess I haven't found my HG eyeliner quite yet.. but I can tell I'm getting close! -

I love my lashes and was looking for a substitute for those days I don't want to mess with my falsies. I've used about 3 different primers but this one has out performed them all. I had never used tarte before so I was excited and they didn't not let me down. I have long, but sparse eyelashes. This product doesn't clump up my eyelashes and it makes them 25% longer, at least. I apply one coat, let it dry, apply some more to the tips of my lashes , let it dry for a minute then apply my Too Faced Better then Sex and the results are amazing. I know I have read some very mixed reviews on this product so I am not sure if I use it differently or if my eyelash needs are different then most but if you like eyelash primers and have been looking for a good one, try this. -

I bought this palette and it is easily, hands down, my favorite blush palette. It features Incandescent Electra (Pink Peach)/Brilliant Nude( Champagne Nude) /Euphoric Fusion (Plum Pink)
I had never used Hourglass before but had heard rave reviews so I grabbed this when I got my 10% off coupon from Sephora. What a wonderful thing I have found! Electra is by far the most beautiful blush I have ever tried, it diffuses my skin in a way I've never seen and it gives me almost an airbrush glow. It also has a bit of a sheen to it so I don't even need to apply highlighter on most days. Nude, I use as a highlighter mainly on my brow and my inner eye. The only one I can't seem to use on a regular basis is Euphoric Fusion. The purple is almost too strong for me on the cheek, though I could probably use this on my eyes.
Overall, I love this palette but I think I will just stick to the individual pans from now on, just so I can get the full use out of the colors. I will definitely be purchasing Incandescent Pink&Brilliant;Nude individually.

I bought this kit soley for the stencils that it came with. I have been battling with my eyebrows for 10ish years now, going from super think to completely grown in. It wasn't until this product that now I can be content with how they look. Everything is comes with works so well , I really can't complain about much. The two shades it comes with work well , though I mix mine a bit to get my perfect shade. The gel is amazing. The highlight shades work really well. The brush is amazing quality. Funny thing is, the only thing I don't actually use is the stencils, so I can't attest to their quality :) My only "complaint" could be that the mirror provided is a tad small. But overall, if your looking for an eyebrow kit, I'd totally recommend this one. It comes with everything in a neat little box and is super easy to use. -

I bought this palette without doing much research first. I saw the colors being offered and I got it on a whim. First off, This is my first UD eye palette and I am blown away at the quality of not only the eyeshadow, but of the packaging! I love the design of it, it is easy to hold in my hand and the mirror is nice and big. The brush it comes with is amazing and works perfectly with these shadows.
Now, the shadows themselves. The terra cotta/red/warm brown colors are hard to get right and they seem to have nailed it with these shades. They are so soft and buttery and they apply wonderfully on the eyes. El Fuego (burgundy matte ), Scorched ( metallic red ) and Lumbre (metallic copper) are my top 3 favorite colors.
I think the only real downside to a palette like this is that is would be very hard to just use this one palette alone. I find the colors are so similar, at times you can rarely differentiate them once they are applied.
Now, is this worth 66$ CND? I am having a hard time figuring that out. I love it because I have green eyes, I have basic palettes I can use to compliment this one if needed and the brush is amazing but for the shade selection you get, it could be hard to justify that splurge.

BECCA x Chrissy Tiegen Glow Face Palette

I bought this palette on a whim one night, BEFORE reading any reviews for it but for once, it worked out in my favor! I had read many mixed reviews about this product not being super wearable for lighter skin tones ( I'm a light olive-ish ) so I stared getting a bit apprehensive. Once it arrived though, I was won over. The colors are beautiful and work well together or alone. The two highlighters are beautiful, one is rose gold, the other a light peach. The blush is super pigmented and is a beautiful darker pink that gives you a beautiful flushed color when applied. The bronzer is pretty too, I am not a big bronzer user because Most bronzers are waay too warm for me, but this one isn't.
Overall, If your looking at getting this palette I'd say get it, unless you are super pale. I could see these colors being a bit too strong if your in that skin tone category. I think the darker your skin color is, the more beautiful this is going to look on you.

I love love loooove this eye palette, I honestly bought it just to complete my Too Faced Sweet Peach collection but after using it, my heart has been won. Every color that I have used has been soft and blendable with little to no fall out. I definitely recommend a good primer for this palette to get the full effect of the colors. Some are metallic, some are sparkle, then some are matte. Its just the perfect mix of eye shadows in one convenient little tin, plus that peach smell is so intoxicating. It really helps perk me up in the mornings -

I love love love this color! It is a highly pigmented bronzed peach color that would be flattering on almost anyone. It is a beautiful texture and it smells just like Peach juice crystals. I can't help but be happy everytime I open it. If your on the fence with this, get it. It is worth every penny -
