I have been using this product for 2 years now and love it. It goes on smooth with no greasy feeling and leave my skin feeling hydrated for hours. my skin felt better immediately and started looking brighter in a few days. Its on a pricey side but a little goes a long way. One jar lasts me about 9 months which makes it well worth the price. -

Lovely colours by over priced and horribly packaging.
The colour range is great from bright true neons to super saturated darks and the formula is very average. There is nothing special about it.
The brush is mediocre and the tube shaped bottle means its impossible to keep the brush stem from over flowing on to the brush during application.
Overall, save your money. For the same price you can get a bottle of OPI with twice the amount of product and a much better brush and bottle.

THe Face Shop trendy nails nail remover
These removers smell great. They have Strawberry, Rose and Lavender scented removers. They all preform the same. They work as well as a regular drug store remover, but smell a lot nicer and have a control flow top so you waste less.

A great shimmer palette! I don't wear a lot of shimmer shadows, but I still love every shade in here. The shadows are typical of UD, buttery, smooth, highly pigmented and blendable. Pretty much perfect in every way. A few of the shades can be applied with your finger to create a metallic-like finish. And almost all are pigmented enough to use as eyeliner. Overall a great little palette.
The packaging is nothing special. Just cardboard with a magnetic closure and the brush kind of sucks It can pack on colour but that's it. Its useless for blending or lining. But it's not the reason you buy the palette.

This palette makes me happy every time I look at it. So much colour in one place! The pigments are just that, pigment. So a little goes a long long way. A neutral blending shade is a must if you hope to sheer out the colour. But its worth the work. And because you use so little, this palette may actually last you for the rest of your life. Seriously, I've used it once a week for over a year and it looks barely touched.
The packaging is very cute and highly functional. Durable, compact, easy to clean hard plastic shell and a great mirror inside. I will pull out the palette just to use the mirror. The brush is okay. Nothing special but not bad in anyway. The tiny flat side is nice for applying pigment along the lash line. The other kind of fluffy side isn't much use with these shadows because it doesn't blend well. But you don't get this palette for the brush.

Anothe great palette from Urban Decay. Seriously, does anyone do eyeshadow as well as UD? This palette is a great one for beginners, if a little onnthe dark side for pale girls. I love the balance of matte and shimmer and the range of colour.
As usual, the formula is spot on. Silky smooth, highly pigmented with little, if any, fallout and lasts all day.
The only thing I don't like is the package. The velvet outer shell feels nice but it gets filthy fast in a makeup bag and it impossible to clean. The interior is fine with a good sized, decent quality mirror. That makeup brush is a great basic brush, easy to clean, no shedding or loosening of the ferule after several dozen washes.

I love this palette! Neutral enough for daily use with enough colour to sooth my hippie soul. Peanut Butter is my favourite shade of all time. Everything is super pigmented and silky smooth. My only issue with the the pink glittery shade. It doesn't pick up easily and doesn't stay on the lid at all. A total dud. It's the only one though.
Its a pricey palette but great value when you look at all the shades you are getting. And double sized pans of the highlight shades. And it smells like chocolate!! Who doesn't love that?
The packaging is heavy but not bulky, and very durable and easy to keep clean. The mirror is crap though. Mine kept falling out so I just threw it away. I wish it came with a brush too, like the UD Nake palettes.

Not much coverage and doesn't build well but it did help tone down redness and even out my skin. Works well on days I don't want to wear full makeup.Strangely, I have trouble applying it with a sponge. I tried three sponges and they all soaked up most of the liquid before I could get an even coverage so it ended up looking splotchy. I use my fingers now, then buff it out with a buffing brush.
It doesn't last a full day but I can get 8-10 hours out of it without a heavy primer. With a heavy primer, I have got a full 15 hours out of it. I do notice some oxidation after a few hours though. It's not a big shade difference, but on my pale skin, I did notice it. It can be a bit of a pain to remove. It takes a lot of rubbing to get it off with my makeup eraser, so I have to use a remover first to get most of it off.The plus side to that, is it holds up to sweating and transferring well.
The shade selection isn't great but because its somewhat sheer, its easy to make something work.
I did find it more hydrating that other foundations but only for a few hours. I still needed moisturizer underneath.
