This lipstick is rich without being drying. For a nude it does well at neutralizing redness and full coverage so it doesn't look like you just put a sheer foundation on your lips! It is not very pink, more on the beige side.
While I haven't ate with it on to see how long it lasts, I find it doesn't rub off or start to look flaky or dry as you wear it, it stays feeling moist without feeling like it's going to slide off - good for those who forget to do touch ups.

This nail enamel is thick and creamy, two coats and you have a professional looking manicure. The formula is pretty fool proof, I smudged it and then applied a coat over top right away and it didn't make it look worse! You can put on thick coats and they harden pretty quick (no denting it an hour later because it's putty). The brush is really easy to maneuver, so you get your whole nail and don't end up veering onto your cuticle or finger. I tend to chip my nails easily but this one doesn't chip around the tips of my nails, also I've filed my nails with it on and it was fine. Really great formula and I like the retro feel of the Jade polish and it's milky green hue. -

I love Joe Fresh Beauty's other products from their lipsticks to their eyeshadows, so I tried their Nail Polish in "Jade" a dark khaki green shade. Like most polishes I couldn't be bothered to do a base coat before applying the colour. I did two coats of Jade and the coverage was pretty good and then I applied a top coat. It seemed to suck up the top coat and by day two was chipping all along the edges of my nails. After removing it I found it had dyed my nails yellow. I have never had this happen before with any dark shades. So if you're going to indulge I suggest putting on a base coat first and then two swipes of top coat so it's less likely to chip. Too time intensive for me. -

THE best mascara I have ever used. I have pretty long lashes (don't hate) and often mascaras end up clumping them together by the time I get to swiping the ends of my lashes. The brush really separates and coats every single lash without depositing a ton of mascara goop on them. There's no flaking, so I don't feel like I have mascara dandruff under my eyes halfway through the day. If you are prone to smudgeyness under your eyes, this one might be a problem, I've gotten it a bit if I use a lot of it on my bottom lashes, but the only time I haven't gotten that is waterproof mascara which I find too big of a hassle to get off my lashes so rarely use.
Bottom line: Love it and would take it to a desert island.

This foundation is the only one that doesn't make my dry skin look flakey. The coverage is excellent as well considering it's sheer. I feel it covers up under-eye darkness and any redness I have without suffocating my skin or completely blotting out my freckles so I look like I am wearing a mask. -
Bourjois Paris Sweet Kiss Lipstick in Fuschia Class

This is the perfect fuschia. It goes on very rich and doesn't turn tacky or flaky. It goes on opaque so your natural lip colour is completely covered, thus the colour you see in the bullet is the same as what you'll see on your lips. It wears evenly as well, so I didn't get that weird ring where the inside of the lip is gone and the outer edges are fully saturated still. It is a bit pricier but it delivers and feels great! -

I love the look of this mascara, but by the end of the day I have flakes on my face. Touching it up makes it clump, so I have no choice but to take it off and that's not easy. Because it's sweatproof and waterproof (they say tears), it does not come off easy and I've lost a few lashes in the process. -

This shadow is highly pigmented, so if you have a good brush you can either create a light smokey eye or very dramatic dark lidded look. It looks rather shimmery and a bit reddish, but once on it's really not - more of a deep brown with a slight shimmer. If you're prone to creasing, you may find it slips throughout the day, and you can use primer but it's harder to do a sheer eye when you do. If you're concerned by the price, since it's so pigmented, it will take you a while to get through it, and it really is a shade you can wear for subtle colour or for a more heavily done lid. -

There's not a hint of shimmer so it doesn't give away that you're wearing a bronzer. The powder is really fine and goes on evenly and blends well, it doesn't dry your skin either. The brush it comes with is not the best for if you are doing your whole face but it's fine for touch ups and is really soft.
It comes in two colours and you can sheer it out with some pressed powder in the winter if you worry it's too dark.
