VERDICT
September 29th, 2017: Not a fan of the scent. It's doesn't even really smell like anything in particular it just smells bad...it's got a chemical like scent that I just am not a fan of and can't stand...and it's a pretty strong scent. It doesn't dissipate and it just lingers and you can totally smell it while it's on the face. It doesn't seem to do anything either. It's not illuminating at all in my opinion. I can't tell a difference between when I have it on and when I don't. My skincare gives me more of a glow than this does. Definitely a pass for me. There are better illuminating primers out there.

THOUGHTS
September 23rd, 2016: Not a fan of this concealer. It is so thick and hard to blend. I tried to make it work by using my fingers, a brush, a cushion puff, a wet beauty blender to try and sheer it out and help it blend, but it just did not want to budge...and it emphasized EVERYTHING so unless you have amazingly perfect flawless skin with zero texture you are not going to like this. I hated how atrocious it made my under eyes look and I ended up taking it right off. I didn't even realize I had such obnoxious texture issues there...texture that apparently only appears when I wear this concealer. I mean I know I have some texture...my under eye is not perfect and flawless, but not to that degree.
Also, this apparently has glitter in it...glitter that is not microfine, but shiny noticeable flecks of holographic glitter, which I wasn't a fan of. Usually I do love me my sparkle, but I wasn't a fan of this one that made my under eye look like I had major fallout. I suppose it was there to help brighten the under eye area, but I think it just made the situation worse. The only pro with this concealer was that it's full coverage.
I don't want to waste my money, so I think I'm going to try and mix in some facial oil and see if that helps because I can deal with the glitter if need be. My biggest issue was the blend-ability and emphasis of texture so hopefully the oil will help with those issues. If not than I think I'm just going to toss it. I would recommend skipping this one.

THOUGHTS
June 15th, 2016: Really nice lip product, but it dries down and disappears rather quickly. While it does leave the slightest tint, to be honest its not that noticeable so I feel like you would have to keep reapplying. If you don't mind reapplying than this is a great product to have, but if you can't be bothered to be reapplying throughout the day than I would stay away.
I like using this alone for natural days and also as a lipstick topper as well. When using this alone it does leave the slightest tint when it dries down and goes away, but to be honest it's not that noticeable.
I do love me a good shine on my lips and this give a beautiful lightweight non-sticky sheen that just leaves your lips looking juicy and healthy...while it lasts, but whether it's worth the $22 price tag? I'm inclined to say no. If this was sold at a better price point (like around $6-$8) I probably would repurchase this product, but for $22 I'll pass...instead I recommend the Oil Lip Therapy Gloss from Shop Miss A, which is only a $1: http://www.shopmissa.com/products/natural-oil-lip-therapy-gloss?variant=5123239939). I've only tried the Rosehip Oil, which is completely clear and doesn't have any color to it, but I love it and it's only $1!

INGREDIENTS

THOUGHTS
November 19th, 2015: Great for spot erasing and touch ups, but the tip can be a bit scratchy around my sensitive eye area. Aside from that it's awesome...I've already repurchased these a couple times now. For me personally, my eyeliner and mascara always seems to smudge no matter what I do or try, so I like having these on hand to clean it up. Also, the formula while great at erasing also leaves the spot moisturized too, which is awesome. My only other comment is that I wish it came with an extra spare tip like their nail polish remover pens do so I can switch it out after a bit of use.

THOUGHTS
October 15th, 2015: This is an awesome eyeliner. It is so creamy and black and glides on like a dream. I'm not the type of person that wears makeup all day long from morning till night, so I can't attest to wether or not it actually lasts for 10+ hours, but it does last for quite awhile...at least the 6-7 hours that I had it on. That's usually the longest I will ever wear makeup and even that is a rarity.
I will admit that it did smudge a bit on me, but then again I haven't met an eyeliner that doesn't smudge on me (drugstore or high end) so I feel like I can't really hold that against this...I guess I just have a smudgy eye shape, but of the liners that I have tried this is one of the least smudgiest that I've tried.
Definitely a top shelf product for me. Liked it so much I also purchased these in a couple other colors as well.

THOUGHTS
May 16th, 2015: Meh...I don't know why I got this. I don't ever use brow gels...probably because my eyebrows are so sparse to begin with there really isn't much to work with and "lock down". I did try to use it as a treatment though because it's supposed to also condition the hair and encourage regrowth, but I ended up stopping because it seemed to irritate the skin around my eyebrows. Don't know if it's just coincidence, but the couple times that I tried it my skin got itchy and red in the eyebrow region, so I just stopped using it.
