Product experience 
swatch
I bought the color 621 blonde moments you get .02 oz 0.07 g of product for $1.99
You get a pencil in one end and a spoolie on the other end. Both have a cap to keep the pencil and spoolie clean. But it doesn't stay in place and I keep jamming the cap in and it's starting to have tiny cracks.
There are four shades available I have the lightest shade which is blonde.The formula is waxy has a good color pay off and blends easily. It stays tacky even after it's been blended.
initial application


Pros
  • Dual ended, you get a spoolie and pencil in one end
  • The consistency is creamy and easy to blend
  • It did keep my brows in place
  • Has a cap to protect the pencil and spoolie end.
  • Great for travel, doesn't take up a lot of space 


at 6 pm

Cons

  • You don't get a lot of product
  • The blonde has a weird greenish undertone
  • The product has a weird tacky consistency
  • Needs to be sharpened


It's a decent product and not bad, I just didn't like the greenish cast I got with the blonde shade. I did like that this held my brow hairs in place but I don't have the most unruly brows. You don't get a lot of product.

Product Experience

The product comes in a glass bottle with a pump, you get 100 ml 3.3 fl oz of product for $35.00.
The product has no color, has a light some what watery consistency
To use I just take one full pump and spread the product evenly across my face. I like to use this in the day time so I can layer this with my sunscreen.
I noticed that my acne marks were a lot lighter. But it did nothing to help lighten up my sun spot.
I don't like the scent it just feels like I'm putting a lot of chemicals on my face. 



Pros
  • Comes in this nice beautiful heavy glass bottle.
  • Has a pump and cap
  • Created for all skin type but maybe not for sensitive, severely dry or oily skin types
  • You get a lot of product 3.3 fl oz
  • The product has a thin, light texture
  • Easily absorbed by my skin
  • Great for layering under make up
  • Left my skin feeling velvety soft
  • Now available at Target

Cons
  • Has a floral scent nothing that lingers but it can still cause issues for anyone with sensitive skin
  • Does not contain any sun protection.
  • Expensive
  • Not great for travel because the packaging is heavy

I feel this is an okay product, I had high expectation but this doesn't seem to deliver. I feel like I'm placing a lot of chemicals on my skin. I still have some dry visible dry spots after I have used this. I just was not wowed by the product.

sample

Product Experience
You get 25 sheets for $4.49 to use just take one sheet and wipe your face, the sheets felt very soft on the skin and the cleanser didn't sting at all. It does a decent job of removing eye make up, but not waterproof eyeliner or mascara.

Pros
  • Very convenient, can be used any time any where
  • Does not need water
  • The formula felt hydrating and did not sting
  • You get a nice big sheet
  • The sheets feel soft

Cons
  • Might dry quickly if you don't seal the packaging well
  • It's not very good at taking off waterproof cream eye shadow, eyeliner or mascara.


I like this particular wipe, it feels very soft and does not sting. It does have limitation and doesn't take off water proof eye make up. It's still a good facial wipe.

Wet n wild color icon limited edition lipgloss

Hi everyone

Product claims
It's limited edition and I can't find any information about the product.


Product experience

You get .12 fl oz 3.5 ml of product for $1.99 I got the colors 34546 which looks like this glittery cherry red and 34542 saved by the Bellini.Comes with a flat flexible applicator.The formula is very sheer even the red, it has a lot of shine and sparkle and I found these to be very comfortable on the lips. It's great to top off a drying or super matte lipstick to get that little bit of sparkle.

applicator
Product experience 
It comes in a squeeze tube with a plastic doe foot application. You get 0.40 fl oz 12 ml of product for $4.00 I got the colors glg781 babydoll is a blue based light pink and glg784 bombshell is a bright coraly pink.
I find that the product is some what liquidy but doesn't run. It's best applied with a brush instead of using the plastic foot applicator. 
This has really good color pay off but will only last a couple of hours especially if you eat and drink. Also expect this to transfer.
Baby doll and bombshell
Pros
  • Comes in beautiful vibrant shades
  • Comes in a squeeze tube
  • 21 shades to choose from
  • Has very good color pay off
  • Inexpensive

babydoll

Cons

  • Has a light fake minty scent, it doesn't linger.
  • Feels a little tingly on the lips
  • Feels a little thick but still comfortable on the lips.
  • Not a longer wear lip color
  • Best applied using a brush for a more precise application.

bombshell

All in all it's a good product, it's got good color pay off and inexpensive. I just didn't like how this felt on my lip. It's thick but not too thick and tingling sensation is mild but not something I like to feel anyway. I'm just not a fan of liquid lipstick as a whole.
