Eyebrow powder
Pros:
~Variety of colors for brunettes and blondes
~Comes out matte even though you see a few pieces of shimmer
Cons:
~No black for very dark brown
Swatches in no particular order:
Eyebrow cream
Pros:
~Doesn't feel sticky
~Comes out transparent
Cons:
~Feels heavy for me (i never use gel or creams on it before)
***** No comment on the staying power, how well it keeps strays in place, or how it works with the powder
Glosses
Pros:
~Not sticky
~Good pigmentation on some
~Nice sheer tint on others
~Very glossy
~Doesn't taste horrible
Cons:
~ Appears with glitter, however when applied i haven't seen glitter on my lips for the four located on the top right corner of the set.
~ You see the glitter on your lips after the sheer tinted glosses after it wears off. Also, the glitter spreads around the mouth area
****No comment on staying power
Swatches in no particular order:
Cream liners
Pros:
~Variety of matte and glittery liners
~Goes on pretty smoothly for most of them
Cons:
~Does not stay on long even when setted with shadow (I have partial monolids and also oily lids so that maybe why)
~Not all goes on smoothly
~Not all are very pigmented
**** No comment on whether it is a good base
Swatches in order from bottom row to top row
Powders and Blushes
Pros:
~Blushes don't come out too shimmery
~Matte powder and blushes applies pretty well
~Shimmery powder highlights well
~Pretty good pigmentation for the blushes
~Matter powder doesn't streak on me at the end of the day
Cons:
~Matter powder broke me out (probably because I didn't moisturize on my dry spots)
~I prefer if the shimmery powder did not have as large pieces of shimmer
**** No comment on staying power of the blushes (for i naturally turn flushed by the end of the day), whether the compact powder keeps my face matte (i do not reapply) or the shimmery powder.
Swatches in order (reversed)
Overall Rating: 7 out of 10
It could be better, but for the money it's a good deal especially if you have a coupon or something or you're just starting out and want to experiment with a variety of products. Also makes a good sort of inexpensive gift.
****NOTE Icing and Claire's usually have buy one get one half off deals on cosmetics so keep an eye out for that in case you're planning to buy more than one product!
Recommend?
Sure, not a product that's a "MUST HAVE" but I know I won't be needing any of the products included in the set :) I'm sure there are better make up sets out there, so if you want to try this you can.
I was not paid for the review nor sponsored nor affiliated with the company or producer. Was purchased with my own money
