Oh my gosh, Urban Decay... where would I be without you? You always come up with the cutest palettes that are not only darling but extremely usable and easy to carry around. This isn't the last time I'll be purchasing one of your perfect palettes!

These are amazing tinted moisturizers. Some TM's leave the skin not moisturized enough, some leave the skin not colored enough. This is a very happy marriage of the two. A wide array of colors, and a top notch product. Perfect for those who have great skin that needs a little of an oomph. I haven't noticed that mine disappears throughout the day, and that is an amazing thing to say for something that doesn't overdose on color. Totally recommended!

I have Mai Tai and Cosmopolitan. They are gorgeous on the skin and they make me smell delicious. My boyfriend definitely approves ;) I love the fact that the jar is absolutely humongous. I won't have to worry about whether it was a good deal or not because this will last me forever! This also comes with a 'sponge' to apply the balm, but I favor using my hands. All in all, I give these a 9. They look gorgeous on my makeup shelf and on my legs and arms... yippee!!!

Despite feeling, at the age of 25, to be too old for glitter products, I really do like this. I have this in the shimmer and the bronzing shimmer and both are great for special occasions and party frocks. The bronzing version is superb - gorgeous golden colour that is fantastic over a fake tan. Spray it from about 30cm away so the colour and sparkle falls evenly, rather than in puddles of mysterious golden-green. The plain shimmer version is SO pretty - you can go overboard as the sparkle is intense, but again spray it from further away and it gradually settles in a sophisticated sort of sheen.

Penny Lane is a nice no-makeup kind of makeup. On my skin it is a subtle nude peachy pink with a beautiful silver sheen (no visible shimmer). It's an effectless dewy, natural looking blush, which is absolutely mistake proof. Won't accentuate pores or acne scars. Amazing texture too, silky, soft and smooth, very easy to blend and built up. The downsides : (1) too light for me in summer , (2) the lasting power could be better especially compared to other Nars blushes. Overall, I would purchase this again.

I've tried a lot of eyeshadow bases over the years, and am still in search of a good one. I wasn't happy with this one at all. The best that I'd ever had was Chanel's (years ago), so I went back to that brand and tried this product, despite its high price tag. Well, it was a waste of money. I have oily lids, and the shadow was creasing within an hour of application. I tried it with all different brands, and I would have been better off (and had more money) if I never had used this at all.

This gives a nice dewy sheen to the skin , light reflective (similar to the look of the Touch Eclat foundation) and you won't need a highlighter on cheekbones as this seems to do that for you if you use a medium coverage foundation , non-greasy , hydrates well all day , feels light on the skin and has the lovely trademark YSL fragrance .... Contains what they call a baby-skin complex , which is just fruit sugars to gently exfoliate your skin .... but protects with a protective barrier containing UVA protection .... I don't really like the jar packaging .. but I have decanted it into a small pot and just scoop out as I need it .... Also it is very expensive , but worried about trying other products in case they break me out badly and this serves the function of basic hydration which does it well.

Got a big sample of this at Sephora. The first time I used it I overdid it with the crystal scrub and my skin felt raw and red. The second time I did it, I made sure to GENTLY MASSAGE, NOT SCRUB and was really pleased with the results. My skin was smoother, softer, brighter, and pores were slightly smaller. I want to use this to diminish my hyperpigmentation so I'll shell out the money and buy this.

This brush works like a charm on all my liquid eyeliners. I haven't found anything that can get a perfect tee-tiny fine line like this brush does. It actually saves me money because I can buy cheap-o liquid eyeliners with horrible applicators and use my sephora brush to make them look fabulous. I haven't noticed any shedding, and the hairs are very soft. The only thing I do not like is the "long handle". I have terrible vision and when I don't have my contacts in I can't get up close to the mirror to see what I'm doing.

Oh my - I did not like this at all. First of all - it is very chalky and the powder does not seem of high quality - - it is really not that smooth and can harden up in the compact. Trust me - swipe your finger over Estee Lauder's Doublewear Powder or Guerlain's Parure powder and then try this. See the difference? Very poor quality. Reminds me of Merle Norman's powder foundation which was a definite disappointment. Color selection is very poor and lightest shade is for light/med skin tones - pale skin beware! This did not smooth over my skin nicely - it left a powdery residue (I used a sponge, I always do for fuller coverage) and did not cover up anything! Did not provide me with a "glowy" look and was quite honestly - pointless. My natural skin looked a lot better. I do not recommend at all - and to be honest, I have found drugstore formulations that perform higher - although I tend to stick to high-end, or luxury brands.
