One of the first UD products I got, it's lasted a very long time. All the eyeshadows (Twisted, Uzi, Shotgun, Oil Slick) are very heavy on the glitter, thought for some reason the glitter in Oil Slick never shows up on me. The two lipsticks are Fur & Uzi are pretty good. The two lip gunks (Shotgun & Kiss) are awesome, my favourites in the whole case. And there's the body haze in Shotgun which I've never really used. I have to say that pallete is really solidly built, I've carted it around in my bagpack for 2+ years and it's still in pretty good shape.

As with all UD products, this palette is glitter-glitter-glittery. This palette is heavy on Shotgun, which is fine with me since I adore it on my cheeks (Body Haze), lips (lip gunk), and eyes (shadow) -- it's an extremely beautiful, wearable, natural shade in all three places. I don't much like the consistency of the body haze, as it's very solid (almost like lipstick) and hard to blend. The Uzi lipstick, while great in theory for layering on top of another color, is actually too hard and cakey to be able to layer without removing a lot of the base color -- it might work better as an underlayer topped with the Gash lipgunk. Oil Slick makes a great liner. Fur lipstick is too brown for me, alas. Both lipgunks are gorgeous, though. All in all, a strange palette -- you could do a great natural look with it if it weren't for the glitter, and the colors aren't deep or bright enough for a really killer going-out look.

My least favorite UD palette (and product) ever! The lip gunks seem to decompose into an unwearable texture and the shadows have such large hunks of glitter that I feel like blindness is a possibility.

Nice, pretty colours. Rarely use it though. Lip gunks go horrible after a while. I would advise people to go for the shadow box.

This is pretty, but again not for the everyday look because of the gold, black and silver eyeshadows. Still, I think it's really nice but not one of the best because it's not too wearable.

I love this palette. UD have had the wisdom to make thier palettes very sturdy- run rings round stila for construction- however they would almost be as well without the applicators which cheapen the whole thing. The colours here are wearable shades loaded with tons of glitter. If you can't deal with glitter DON@T BUY MOST OF UDs STUFF. Don't say you haven't been warned. The only other thing to note though is that you only need one or two face cases max. Every Christmas UD come out with variations of previous palette products and even between the face cases there is lots of shade overlap. Don't waste your money doubling up on shades.D.xx

Bought this I think either 2 or 3 years ago and I still have most of the colors...I ran out of shotgun so I went and bought a whole thing of it I loved it so much...love UZI for going out-it has awesome shimmer...the shotgun body haze broke my normally agreeable skin out in a burning rash the first nite I used it so I haven't used it since...but overall, its been a great purchase and I want to get more face cases!

I really do like this palette. Really.
BUT, it takes me this long to realize this palette really is a glam/party type palette. It is possible to use the colours for everyday looks, but they have to be subdued.
I'm Asian, and most of the colors really aren't the best for me. The lipstick in Fur works really well, though, and the lip gunk in Tart looks really good if you put it on over/under chapstick.
This didn't really create a "China Girl" look, but it definitely created a "Starlet" look.

UD Face Cases are so cute! I love the small-ness & portability of these sleek, sexy palettes. China Girl to Starlet is now discontinued, although I think they ought to bring it back. The Uzi & Twisted e/s look amazing when used wet to line, or layered over one of the other e/s. Shotgun e/s is so pretty, and I love the rainbow microglitter in the Oil Slick! Fur & Shotgun l/g look great together, Uzi l/s is perfect to add shine to any lipstick, and Kiss is the only true red that I've used (doesn't turn fuschia!), a beautiful color. I absolutely adore the Shotgun Body Haze (but I understand these are now discont'd, and the more recent China Girl face cases have Paranoid instead). Created beautiful everyday to night to clubbing looks. Only qualm is price ($53 CDN!!) and the silver glitter -- I have no where to wear it. :)

Purchased this as a gift to myself, and love the colors. All are nice and neutral like. I just wish that i used it as much as i did with 1st date, but that doesn't mean that i don't love the colors.

Hmm...I just don't like Uzi, that must be it. Otherwise it would be a nice palette, but the silver eyeshadow and lipstick just is not right! I really liked the eyeshadow combinations but that doesn't make up for the Uzi. I LOVE the other lipsticks too, if you want to try out several nice strong red lip looks, maybe you should check out this case. Not for me though.

This is my favorite face case (out of three) yet. The face cases are in slim cases which makes it easy to fit in a small purse. The colors are all great on my face and I think it's a great color combination.

Ohhh how I love face cases... this was my first one, and although this is more of a glam palette, therefore less needed, I love it so much that I had to give it 5 lipsticks anyway! The shadows are all really glittery, so it is hard to wear them during the day (except for Shotgun, which I use all the time) At night, though, Uzi looks SO awesome with Oil slick at the outer corner, or substitute Twisted for Uzi and it looks just as good. During the day, the only look I can seem to come up with is Shotgun with Oil Slick as a liner. The Shotgun body haze is the perfect blush! As for the lip stuff, Fur is beautiful but a bit dark; but looks awesome under Shotgun. Shotgun is gorgeous alone, too. Uzi looks good if used over Fur just in the center of the lip; it adds awesome sparkle. I can't rave enough about Kiss; it looks so awesome with a black dress, and Uzi & Oil Slick shadows. Love this so much!

I had this but returned it. All the eyeshadows are really sparkly/glittery. Twisted hardly showed up as a gold color & along with Uzi were impossible to wear w/o glitter everywhere! Oil Slick as liner paired w/Shot Gun was a good combo. The only lip color I liked was Shot Gun lip gunk. Uzi & Fur lipsticks were blah & Tart (or Gash?), the bright red one, was too red for me. The cream highlighter was difficult to blend as blush. Obviously I did not like the colors in this palette. The lip colors were also used up fast - I used the Shot Gun gunk about 5x & it was half gone! The applicators were useless. The slim/sleek compact w/large mirror is great & you get to try a lot of products for the price, although I dont like how fast the lip colors get used up. They should come out w/another Shadow Box or custom palette. The 2 looks they featured looked gorgeous on the model/singer but I could not pull it off.

This is a lovely palette, that I was very fortunate to receive from a swap- the shadows are beautiful, the lipsticks and gunks are amazing, and the body haze is also a great product. The only qualm I have with it is the excessive glitter that gets all over my face, all over the other products in the case and all over the mirror. They look great on, but how to keep the shadows in place? I will only wear them out at night, or by candlelight as the glitter gets everywhere! But for those certain occasions, this could indeed be a desired effect.

REALLY love this face case!! There are endless combinations to try. I like using the Oil Slick e/s as a liner and using the Shotgun lip gunk over the Fur lipstick. Beautiful!! The Shotgun body haze is great as a blush too!!!

Not a bad palette. I'm just kinda confused by the Oil Slick e/s. Has some very wearable colors and the Uzi e/s is just brilliant. Love the Kiss Lipgunk and the Shotgun Body Haze is lovely. Very nice palette.

Face cases KICK ASS. China Girl to Starlet is for a really sexy sultry look - definitely no pastels involved! I especially love the UZI & TWISTED eyeshadows - they look really glittery and glam.

I bought this because it looked absolutely beautiful. This palette contains 4 eyeshadows (Uzi, Twisted), two lip gunks (Shotgun and Twist), and two lipsticks with a body haze in Shotgun. The eyshadows were all too glittery and faded quickly. Also hard to apply and get alot of color. The lipgunks were the best products but the brushes were a pain to apply anything with. I love the look of this palette and the scent (PEZ). However, the colors were to glittery for adults and to sheer to bother with.
