Gwyneth Paltrow Preachin' to the People: Modeling's 'a Perfect Job for When You Have Kids'

In my opinion this stuff is better than Bare Escentuals. I have been using BE since I was 16 and it was ok, it always rubbed off by the middle of the day (I had accepted that fate). I also hated that BE was a loose foundation (its so messy if you spill it or using that tap and buff procedure) Until I had read that this stuff was comparable (maybe even better) than BE. Since it is around the same price point I thought I would give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised. It covers so well and the sales girl got my color match perfectly. I love the fact that it is pressed and that it covers so well. I have a lot of redness due to acne and such and this stuff covers all of it. I have combination skin so it works perfectly for me. Overall a must have if your tired of the messy BE and want a neater way of putting on makeup.

This product is one of the best concealers I have found. I have recently been introduced to MAC by a family friend and I went to the MAC counter and the sales girl showed me this. Being only 20 years old, I have been cursed with fine lines under my eyes due to severe environmental allergies. Also having naturally dry skin around my eyes is another thing that makes it hard to find a good concealer. She showed me this stuff and I thought I would try it and to my surprise it works really well. What they others say about settling into fine lines is correct but if you have a concealer brush you can smooth out they product build up to where they aren't noticeable. Also using a setting powder like Benefit powderflage (which is specifically made for under eye area) to help set the concealer makes a world of difference. The best thing about it is that its very moisturizing and my eye are isn't dried out at all like other products have done in the past. Overall, this is now a permanent staple in my daily makeup routine.

First off let me say, I LOVE these. I have 6 different shades. They are very sparkly and last a long time. They actually last so long i have to put a primer on my lips to be able to remove this gloss. It can be sticky at times but personally I don't mind that since I wear my out of my face most of the time. As a previous review mentioned about the color, I think it gives plenty of color. (At least on my lips) It is sheer but not too much that they all end up looking the same. For example the color Funtabulous is a dark purplish/pink color with blue tint. It looks like a crazy deep color but its not, its just the right shade it gives a tint of the color in the bottle. They more you layer it on the more intense the color (trust me I made that mistake the first day I bought it). I also love the fact that some of the dazzleglasses have a blue tint to them which make my teeth look whiter. Overall, the BEST $18 I have spent.

I am usually not a lipstick wearer but I have friend who is. She told me about MAC lipsticks and how wonderful and creamy they were and boy was she right!. I just bought one in a neutral shade (MYTH) because I was afraid of what it would be like but I was so pleased. It goes on smooth and stays on really well. It also allows you to layer any of the lipglass products over it (which is a plus). Next time I am at the mall I am going to purchase some more colors because this product is great!

I really like this eye liner. It goes on smooth and you don't have to worry about it smudging all day. It is really a good quality, the pencil is soft and glides on easily. The only thing you have to worry about it pressing down too hard. Just light strokes gives you deep coloring. I think it lived up to its potential except for the money. $18 is a little too much, but I have heard wonders about it so I thought I would give it a try. The thing I like is that they offer it in white. Its so hard to find a white eyeliner that goes on smoothly without tugging the delicate eye area. Overall, if you don't mid paying the $18 for a good quality eyeliner, then this is the one for you!
