I am rather fond of this foundation. I use a color corrector underneath it and it doesn't change the consistency of the product. I find this works well in the winter months, when my cheeks are a bit more 'slapped' looking than the serum. it's more coverage than the serum and gives more a matte finish. It's not heavy coverage, but more 'my face but better'.

A redundant name, but a FABULOUS mascara. First, the formula. A bit wet at the very beginning. I find that normally that makes mascaras clump a bit more and I find that I have to separate the lashes but this brush somehow makes that unneeded, and it gets a bit drier after opened for a couple of days,. The wand works well, providing length and volume depending on how you use it and it gets the thinner lashes at the inner part of your lid, near the duct AND get the long wispy lashes on the end at the same time. This picture isn't the best, I haven't figured out face photography, yet. Working on it. But if you love this mascara, it's not cheap at 23 bucks a tube. But I've bought it twice, so I think it's worth it. Get yours here! :)

I believe that I have written that I have rosacea in nearly every single review I have ever done. That said, it's important in this instance.
I am very very fair, I have neutral undertones but very reddened cheeks so it's difficult for the Sephora staff to match me. This is not their fault, I am just complicated. I find that this formula in Fair Sand is perfection for me. I do not need to use a color corrector underneath and it blends well into my skin where I do not have any redness.
I was a regional burning man festival all weekend in the autumn, this foundation lasted well into the night. (With the help of a little primer, a bit of setting powder and setting spray, of course). My skin didn't turn into an oil slick or dry out like the Mojave desert. It just works well. Get yours here :)

I love every single color in this palette. It's an almost all in one. The only thing I need to add is a foundation, mascara and setting powder. The colors are versatile, and the bronzer works great on my pale countenance. The red is a true red and extremely flattering, and the creams are separated from the powders with a very clever separate flap box design. It fits in my purse with no problem and closes and fits in a sleeve so there's no risk of powder explosion. It's a total 'go to' palette which can take you from 9-5 to coffee with friends, to dinner out with a loved one without having to go home and 'put your face on'. I file this under "Cream of The Crop".  <3  Get yours here :)

I love my Naked 2 palette, and I really loved the Marsala color found at Sephora a few years back. So imagine my sadness when the specialty pallette that I wanted from Pantone sold out before I could snap it up! I kept calling my local Sephora and I never managed to catch it in stock.  Thankfully, this gave me those colors in matte and shimmer, plus dupes for my Naked 2 pallete at more than 50% off the price of the Urban Decay Version and is ALWAYS IN STOCK!! Great cost for great shadows. I use a primer to make the colors pop and last all day.  Get yours here! :)

This is a pretty terrific lengthening mascara. The brush isn't exactly innovative the the formula is very lasting, and HAS to be removed with a makeup remover. It keeps a curled lash curled and it's easy to add volume if you START at the ends and work your way to the base of the last. 
I'd keep a lash brush handy just in case you get too much formula on at a time.
