At first glance this looks more like eye shadow, but that’s because it comes in a compact similar to that of eye shadow along with an applicator brush and mirror. I think I prefer the powder as opposed to the spray or liquid applications. I found it fairly easy to cover the gray without it looking artificial. As a bonus you can also use it to touch up your eye brows. Due to the size of the applicator, this is very easily done.
As the need for touch-ups to your hair in between dyes is probably not very often, it’s reassuring to know that this has multiple uses.

For a drug store brand this foundation performs well. Finding the correct colour has always been an issue, but Cover Girl has made that a little easier with their distinctions between warm, cool and neutral. I would have to say that this is a medium coverage foundation and very easy to apply and blend with little effort. Even though it is matte, it didn’t make my skin dry and overall I’ve had better results with this foundation than any other I’ve tried.
If you can find the perfect shade for you, you won’t be disappointed with the results.

The colour of the crayon versus application is completely different and certainly not what you’d expect of the name. In my opinion, the actual colour is more like fuschia. This is a very lovely colour, but unfortunately not one that looks good on me.
I love how easy it was to apply, not unlike a lipstick I thought. The gloss is nice and not as “slippery” as their balms. The colour doesn’t set well and disappears as soon as you drink or eat. Great product with a few flaws.

The colour is quite lovely, but not even close to mauve in my opinion. The shape of the lipstick makes application easy and feels so light you almost forget you’re wearing anything.
I don’t know if it’s just coincidence, but it seems of late that every lipstick, gloss, etc., that I’ve tried have colours that looked different to what was expected.
Another thing I noticed was the colour guide on the end of the lipstick doesn’t look exactly like the actual lipstick. Regardless of the few issues I had, I really liked this lipstick and would probably buy another.

I only discovered Burt’s Bees a short while ago, up until then I’d assumed they just made lip balms.
I don’t think there’s been a product that I haven’t been happy with and I really like the honey bee theme of all their products.
Although this is a glossy lipstick and looks glossy when applied, it doesn’t really feel glossy (hopefully that makes sense). The colour is lovely although I’d say it’s more pink than rose. If you can find the shade that works for you, then you won’t be disappointed.

If you can match your hair colour then this is a great temporary fix as it only lasts until your next wash. It was very easy to use and covered grey hair with ease.
My only complaint is to be careful if you’re going near your temples as the applicator is a sponge and it’s not 100% accurate. If you’re not careful, you will colour your skin as well. Having said that, it does come off quite easily but you tend to undo the areas you just did.

Overall I’m delighted with the results and application was a breeze thanks to the little comb attachment. I’m not sure whether the pre-treatment made any difference, however, the ends of my hair felt “protected” whilst applying the dye.
The resulting colour was darker than expected, but the grey coverage was excellent.
My only complaint is that I wish the gloves were a little larger as my partner is the one who usually does my hair.

The packaging is very nice and the design of the lip lacquer is certainly unusual. This lip lacquer has a gloss finish and is a very pale pink.
Although application was easy, I found this lip lacquer to be a little sticky, however, transfer was minimal even after only a short time.
The colour itself was barely visible against my super pale skin though.

Smith and Cult products have a very unique design appearing somewhat dented. I’m still not sure whether I like this or not, but they definitely stand out. The outside gets marked very easily with fingerprints and dust and is hard to clean though.
The compact is large for the amount of eyeshadow, but the mirror is full size making it easy to apply. The brush is fairly standard with the exception that one end is tapered for contouring.
The colours are subtle and metallic/glittery, easy to apply and blend well. For the amount of shadow versus the cost makes this very expensive.
