Tiramisu is nude brown with pink undertones. It can be used as a wash of color or be built up to full opacity. It isn't too sticky and layers nicely over liquid lipsticks and bullet lipsticks. It is probably too light for deeper skin tones to wear without a lip liner. It smells nice- like a vanilla, or cake, but the scent does not linger and isn't over powering. The packaging color is supposed to indicate the color of the gloss- I am not sure that is is super accurate, but will give a good guideline. The packaging is compact and light so these are great to throw in your bag or pocket. These glosses, unlike the Buxom glosses are not plumping or as blindingly shiny. I didn't notice that they were hydrating, but they also don't dry out my lips. They are comfortable, but not long lasting so remember to bring it with you to re-apply. Nyx is also a cruelty free brand, affordable, and is easily accessible. They also carry a wide selection of lip gloss colors to cater to people of all skin tones.

Pretty shadow that I expected to be dry and difficult to work with, but it performs just as well as the rest of the palette.

Really beautiful, brilliant silver even when applied dry.

I was afraid this would be an exact dupe for a shade in the Queen of Hearts palette, but it is a drier, shimmer vs. a wet metallic in the QOH palette. I really like this berry/cranberry shade. Great for winter looks right now.

Sparkly, but not a wet metallic type of shadow.
This is a great highlighting or brightening shade for fair skinned girls. I like to use it under my eyes to set my concealer or as a natural highlight on my cheekbones.

The best volumizing mascara I have ever tried. It layers beautifully, even over other mascaras. This mascara does not not flake or smudge and is incredibly long-lasting.

I like this product because it really brightens my skins and it works as a good primer under heavy stick foundations. The color fair is too light for my skin tone right now, but I have been using it under my summer foundation and it lightens it up for a good winter match. It is light-weight, but can be built up to a medium coverage. It gives my skin a nice even healthy glow.

This is a great lipstick,it's just not for me. The lipstick is supposed to have neutral undertones but pulls a little too bubblegum and pastel on my lips. It makes me look like I am straight out of the 60's. The lipstick is creamy opaque and very moisturizing so if you like the color I would recommend it.

This is a cool pinky-red with an insane amount of pigment. You will only need one swipe to get full opacity. Like most Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks it is not long-lasting and you will need to re-apply every few hours or after eating. The wear down leaves a very beautiful stain on my lips. I would highly recommend.

This is a buildable peachy nude blush that is perfect for people with fair skin. Not too orange or pink and looks extremely natural on my skin. The color lasted through a busy workday and date night on my oily skin without fading.

If you need a bronze- copper eye shadow that applies like butter and can be seen from space, this is for you. It looks like the most beautiful, pigmented melted penny when applied wet and lasted on my eyes for like 9 hours and never faded.

I really dislike this highlighter it is chalky, dusty and just sits on the skin in big chunks. I also tried it as an eye shadow, wet and dry, and it just didn't have enough pigment to work. I even tried it as a lip topper, but I looked like Tyrone Biggums- so this shade is a hard pass.

I bought this palette on sale as a way to try a variety of Urban Decay lipstick colors in different finishes to see if I would like this brand's lipstick formulas. As a beauty novice it allowed me to explore what types of lipsticks I prefer- comfort matte, matte, and cream. It also was a great way to try purples and berry tones, and nudes which can be difficult to judge whether they would look nice on my skin tone. It was a good investment for trying things outside my comfort zone without breaking the bank. The packaging is sturdy and I like the plastic divider. It would be a good product for people who want to experiment with different shades, but it is not practical for using as an every day lipstick since none of the colors last for an exceptionally long time. If you are a makeup artist who is looking for some more shades this might come in handy. The lipstick brush was good quality, but I don't enjoy applying lipstick with a brush. Overall, the shades are good to excellent- Junkie, and whip are the worst and I never could get studded to be fully opaque, but I enjoy using it as a topper. Safe Word, Carnal, Wrath, Disturbed, and Firebird are great and I will be purchasing them in a full size. If you own other urban decay lip palettes I would only buy this if you really love the colors unique to this palette since there are shades that are repeated from other palettes.

I really love this highlighter palette because all four shades work on my fair neutral skin. Most highlighters are too dark or look harsh. The formula is buttery, smooth and can be applied lightly for a natural sheen packed on for a glow to the gods type look. I have also used all four shades as eye shadows, wet and dry, (I prefer wet) and they are so blendable and pigmented. I am less fond of the shade marshmallow- it just doesn't speak to me- I would have preferred swapping this for a true rose gold highlight. If you are a deeper skin tone I am not sure if the colors in this kit would be suitable as highlights. If you like the colors, but are have a deeper complexion I suggest buying Jackie Aina's La Bronze and La Peach from Artist Couture which launch mid December 2017.

I am not sure if I got a dud, but I can't get any pigmentation out of this lipstick. The formula feels even drier due to the flakiness of the glitter. Hard pass.

I like this color on its own or as a topper. It pairs especially well with Urban Decay's 714 to give it a bit of pop. It isn't the most long wearing and feels almost...crispy when applied on its own- but not in a bad way. This is comfortable to wear and wears down evenly on my lips.

I really wanted to like this color because it is so cool looking, however it is patchy, and I can never get it to be opaque. Without a lip liner it may feather or smear. I would not recommend buying this product.
