Why did I wait so long to try this gel liner? I had been faithful to black liquid liner for ages when I decided to go for a softer liner look but I didn't want to use pencil as it fades by mid day on my oily lids. I decided to try the Chocolate Shimmer gel liner as the colour was dark enough to show up on my lids but doesn't look as harsh as liquid liner and the shimmer isn't too obvious. This liner stays put from the time I apply it in the morning to the time I remove my makeup in the evening. The formula is a bit on the dry side compared to other gel liners (MAC and Clinique gel...

A staple in my makeup collection for 15 years, this continues to look great on me. Coffee Shimmer is an interesting and clearly ‘90s-inspired shade that combines a warm, medium-brown base color with a pearly, dove-gray shimmer overlay. Somehow it just works. It’s not pale, but also not dark. Probably looks best on yellow-toned skins. May appear more of a light nude on darker skins. Nice smooth, moisturizing texture (doesn’t feel gritty at all), pleasant fruity scent, decent lasting power. It’s a classic and a winner. Unique, too.

The formulas for The Neutrals palette are fantastic; non-flat mattes with great pigmentation [a little goes a long way, but it isn't majorly intense in one swipe], smooth application, extremely easy to blend, and excellent wear - barely any kick-up or fallout. There isn't much that I can add that isn't just pointless gushing over how great the formulas are. The 90s‐inspired colour story isn't anything truly original, but the light, medium & dark shade selection is nicely balanced, which is really inspiring. I can't come up with any crit icisms; I don't like my reviews to be nothing but...

One of my favorite higher end formula. I've tried chanel, charlotte t, pat mcgrath, mufe, nars, Mac, kkw, milani, loreal, nyx, etc Warm Brown - I got this in the 90s brown lip duo set and it's the nicest red bean brown mlbb shade. it's longwearing than any other liner I've tried, even longer than Pat Mcgrath. It's just as creamy and nice as Charlotte T and it is super pigmented. I even use this as eyeshadow, liner, contour for nose and ofcourse my lips. The color is neutral and just a medium brown with some hints of muted warm red. edit - i own both Rich Brown and Warm Brown and i have...

Amazing cream bronzer! Different Than most welknown other cream bronzers. I used to love Chanel les beiges tan soleil. That one comes nowhere near this one! Very innovative product. I don’t like all of CT’s products but this one is A hit!

Definitely worth the price. As usual with Natasha’s pallets, very little fallout, beautiful formula, excellent pigment, easy to blend and lasts all day. Colors are beautiful. The only thing bad I can say is that I wish it had were a few more lighter shades and maybe some cooler tones. But I just got the new nude palette, and that takes care of the lighter shades and the cooler colors and it is absolutely gorgeous ! I hope this one isn’t a limited edition. Anastasia, Beverly Hills, and Natasha Denona remain my favorite eyeshadows.

This is my favorite cream bronzer at the moment. (I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because it’s more matte than I’d prefer. I also think it would be pretty if it had just a tiny bit of illumination in it.) This comes in a chubby stick; the packaging is fine, not bad quality but nothing special. I apply this with my fingers usually and then buff with a bronzing brush. It look pretty underneath pink-ier blushes. It’s also OK with more apricot-colored blushes but because it’s matte, I feel like I need to apply apricot-colored blushes more heavily under to compete. This is one of several Rare...

I absolutely love this color, but it's so expensive. This is a cool taupey-brown on me and it goes with everything. I love it with TF Blush Nude. It gives me the perfect pout. Just wish I could find a cheaper dupe.
