I have this pencil in Blue Jean to match the Bleu Celeste quad. While I adore the color, and the coverage is good, I'm very disappointed in the application - it tends to pull. It almost feels a bit dry when going on and it isn't easy to get that perfect line. It's a great product, but for the price I expect much easier application.

I'm not going to lie - these are expensive, and although the colors are fantastic and last well, I'm not sure that they are any better than any other brand. In fact, there are a few other brands that I go for when I'm wanting a more dramatic look. However, it's doubtful that you'll find a quad with more complimentary colors (I have the Bleu Celeste and the Summer 08 Oasis), and it goes perfectly with other Chanel products from the same line. Great product for a gift, or a personal splurge, but I wouldn't spend this much on an "everyday" product.

Not a day goes by in the spring and summer that I don't have my Cargo bronzer on my face. Even on my lighter skin, this isn't overpowering or fake looking. The shimmer isn't all glittery and it's very subtle, which is a nice change from most bronzers out there. You won't be disappointed with this purchase.

You know, I have no idea if this product actually works. I would like to think that my skin is in better shape than it was when I started using it, but I have no actual proof. However, I love the way it tastes, and I'd rather drink that than a soda (or pop, as my Kansas City family calls it). And who couldn't use some additional vitamins?

This product works as well if not better than far more expensive products on the market. I love the price, and I love the fact that it works on just about any eye makeup combination that I can put together. Even helps with false eyelash adhesive! I'll definitely be repurchasing this!

I am so pleased with my Mat Velvet +. It gives great coverage without looking thick or gloopy, and keeps my shine under control, especially when used with a primer underneath. Never breaks my face out and goes on very smoothly and evenly.

I discovered this on a recent trip to Sephora. It has great coverage, and is useful both on undereye circles as well as problem spots anywhere on the face. Small tube will last forever, and the liquid formulation is actually easier to work with than a more solid form, especially when using a concealer brush. I would recommend this concealer to anyone.

And perhaps my holy grail. Fantastic colors - bright, bold, and noticeable. So easy to put on, never pulls, and always stays put with no extra fussing. Shimmer and matte both available, and both are fantastic.

Groomed brows are very, very important to me, and I love the powder/wax combo - it seems to be the most effective. However, this particular product just turned into a huge mess. Way too pricey for something that I managed to use five or six times before the powders completely chunked up and fell apart. Also, be sure to use a seperate brush for your powder. Don't use the included brush for both powder and wax, or it will be an even bigger mess.

I am a huge fan of lip stains of all sorts, but this one really wasn't up my alley, even though as a general rule, I love Urban Decay. I found that I had to apply at least three to four layers to get the color that I wanted, and the stain didn't last as long as I would like. It certainly didn't last through a meal, and I expect at least that out of my stains. Great color choices, but not effective as a stain.
