got it as a gift and would probably repurchase. this is the best color in the line for my skin color and its not an overwhelming shade. i dont believe it fully conditions my lips because after an hour or 2 they r flaky again. i dont like that it is in a pot thugh, i hate having to use my fingers so i use a brush which automaticlly make it unportable

Polishes -Essie - Potato Fields

I am very disappointed with this polish. I was excited because everyone on here described it as a sheer milky white/beige/pink that looks good on all skin tones. Well to me it is way too sheer, 5 coats (no joke) to get the slightest payoff and it’s still incredibly sheer. I guess it gives a clean look; I bought this for color guard because we really can't have bright colors when we perform but this is just non existent. I’ve seen clear coats with more color than this. I was expecting a little more pink in it so I put 2 drops of true red in it and it made it a little better. To me when it comes in the bottle the way it is bought it just looks like wax when you dip your finger into the bottom of the candle. I'll give it a 3 because it does do the job of letting me wear nail polish during a show. I got it a bit of sale which is good. The polish is way too thin and watery for its price. People are giving t high reviews so they must be looking for this type of style finish but I feel a bit mislead. Maybe its my won fault. a vry dissapointing first Essie nail polish, I am now skeptical of the others. I think I will stick to OPI from now on. EDIT: ok, i realize i was way too harsh because i realize how clean and natural my nails look with this on. i raised it a lippie

they have some nice colors in this line. i'll admit they are very expensive, more so than just regular opi polishes. the bottle size is 15ml, so its decent and will last a while. some of the colors that arent shimmery tend to be steaky.

its an ok pumpkin orange that i bought because my friend pushed me to be adventurous. its definately not my favorite color and i wont be purchasing again. it sent on a tad streaky and i had to use 3 coats EDIT: ive decided that this color is a nasty carrot orange that i hate. will only use on my toes at camp.

I was in sephora yesterday and I've been eyeing these polishes for a while, always testing them first because they are expensive. It's an okay purple, to me it looks lighter in the bottle and a bit like barney the dinosaur on the nail but I still like it. I used 2 maybe 3 coats. I wouldn't purchase this again.

Yummy smell and very moisturizing. A tax greasy maybe but it's al forgiven. My favorite body butter. There are two sizes. I got the small and it lasted me a reasonable amount of time. I would buy this again

Lip Gloss -Stila - Lip glaze
rated 3 of 5

I got 6 of these for $22 which I think is a pretty good deal considering it’s usually $22 for ONE. I think that price is unfair for so little in the tube so I took a lippie off. They are a little sticky but I kinda like that because it seems to last longer. The smell is ok on most but I don’t like the apricot smell, but that’s probably just me. It took about 20 clicks for me to get anything out of the tube and they don’t last long. I don’t think it’s worth the money at all if you did not purchase the kit like I did. The color isn’t really strong and some of them are a little too frosty (vanilla, brown sugar, raisin). I won’t be repurchasing.

I’m torn with this. I like the color but I don’t like how on my lower lids it kinda just jumps over my lashes to I have a weird coverage and I have to smudge it around a lot. And when I put it on my water like I tear up like crazy and it stings my eyes. I wont be buying this again, I’m gonna look for another brown eyeliner.
