Phrases Chosen: beautiful, wearable, both cool & warm
I'm so glad I picked this up! The blush (cheek tint) is a sweet color, not too bright or harsh at all, and the wear is terrific. Even on my oily skin, it stays on all day, and you really do need just a few grains. The lipgloss is a perfect shade to go along with the look, and it's not "fighting" the cheeks or eyes. Secret Radiance is a nice highlight for the face and also works as a highlight on the lip or eye.
The eye look is rather warm, but it's really pretty. If you wear the colors as instructed in the kit, it's a smoky look. Heirloom isn't a neutral grey; it has a green undertone. Posh is a wonderful deep grey, and it works well in the crease and as a liner. It also makes a lovely lid color in a more traditional smoky eye. You can also use Queen Phyllis as a lid color and the two darker colors in the crease for a softer daytime look.
Curl & Lengthen mascara is my very favorite mascara. I love the Round the Clock liners, and Midnight works well with these colors. The brush is also great, perfect for precise application of eye colors and the cheek tint & radiance.
If it's not clear, I'm a big fan. :)

I bought this kit a few weeks ago at my local boutique, and it's just gorgeous! I adore the shadow primer, and though I rarely wear matte colors, Velvet Charcoal is perfect for a smoky look, in the crease, or as a liner. 4 PM liner is pretty, too, though it's not showing up as plum on my skin. It does last & last, which is a nice bonus. My last Round the Clock liner worked great until it had to be sharpened, when it dried up and couldn't be used anymore (though I always put the cap on tightly), so I don't know how it will hold up long term.
Rarest Rose blush is gorgeous, a bit similar to another favorite Rosy Outlook (from another kit a couple of years ago) but somewhat brighter. And I love Plumtini gloss. It's perfect for summer!
I haven't used the brush because I have both ends separately already, so I can't comment on it.
If you're cool, try this kit. It's a good deal, and it will make you look BEautiful!

My go-to mascara

I love this mascara! I started using it while pregnant when I didn't have a lot of extra time or energy to curl my lashes. The formula really does lengthen & curl my very short, straight lashes. The curl is very natural looking, too. My husband noticed and commented. I will not be without this mascara again. It's perfect!
