Is it user friendly?
The creamy consistency makes it a dream to work with. It can be sheered out to add just a hint of colour or layered for bold opaque look. You can apply this product with ease using any tool you should desire.
One huge downfall of the product is it does not translate well on eyes. It needs dry surfaces like the cheeks and lips to adhere to to stay in place. On the eyes, it creases and slips. I have tried setting it with powder, it just becomes cakey. I have tried priming the skin before application, it makes no difference and I have also tried mixing a gel mattifyer to the product in the hopes that it would soak up a bit of the moisture, it did not. The only thing I have not utilixed to rememdy the issue, is a sealant. If anyone has done so, please share your experiences below.
What makes this product stand out above the rest?
This product is versatile; it can be used anywhere on the face and body and acts as a great base for making dull eyeshadows seem lively! The wide array of colours are perfect to add to a kit for professional use and work well in beauty, creative, fantasy and special FX looks.
The Nitty Gritty?
As mentioned above, this product is not ideal for use on the eyelids. This item aslo has a hefty tag price retailing for $99. It was retailing at sephora.com for $110 CDN and since has been reduced to $99. However, it is still very expensive.
Final Summation:A must have for anyone who is serious about makeup. You will be pleased at the colour options and how vivid they turns up on film/digital format. With that said, don't however expect much in terms of wear on the lids.

Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray
This works really well. If you are looking for a cheaper dupe, try LUSH Ocean Waves, it doesnt work as well but is about half the cost

Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick
I think lip product is one of the most overated products. I will say Melted is a suitable name, it leterally melts of your lips, settles into creases and lines within minutes. I can`t express my discontent enough. It is also $26, which in my opinion... +

I give props to tarte for their innovation in cosmetic products like this all-matte eyeshadow palette made of amazonian clay, that isn't gimmicky. They managed to take the amazonian clay concept and run with it. The line has been a huge success. I'm a huge fan of this all-matte palette. There is a wide array of tones and shades that are sure to suite anyone. The eyeshadoes are high-quality, finely milled, very pigmented, blend really well and are long-wearing. The packaging is sleek, compact, features a large mirror and over-all the packaging is visually pleasing. In addition, I have very sensitive yes, and these eye shadows give me no problems. This is a great staple palette to have, also ideal for travel because of its sleek design. I'm actually thinking about purchasing a second palette in the event it is special edition and discontinued. -
Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Curling Mascara
At $31 CDN it pretty expensive but its the best formulation I've tried. Doesn't flake or get crispy. My new HG mascara, no more DIOR Show for me.

I picked this up for tattoo cover ups on my clients. So far the colour correct works well, the texture is creamier than hoped but the lightest shade has a better drier consistency and is easy to work with. This is so far the best I've tried. I have heard great things about the Hard Candy Tattoo Concealer. -
