I'm giving this four stars because I think that the product itself is pretty good and I agree with everything Christine said in her review, but it's a no for me and my fair skin. After seeing this on darker girls, I really wanted to try it since it looked great, even on its own with just mascara. But on me, it just sort of... disappears. Something about it blends a little too well into my skin-tone. Where darker girls were getting this really pretty, bold, duo-chromatic looking eyeliner, it almost looked like I had eyeliner in some places and not others. I did try putting on a black eyeliner and wiping off the excess of Rose Standard before applying it on top, hoping that maybe it would be sheer enough to just add some of the glitter to the black, but it didn't work as intended. Maybe it would look better with certain eye looks, but even the ones I've tried don't help it stand out enough. It was fun to play with for something different, but I more than likely won't be returning to it.

I don't see myself reaching for this one too terribly often. It's a gorgeous color, but coral shades sometimes don't look good on my fair skin. If I go really light-handed with applying this one, I think I can make it work, but it's going to be hard to get myself to reach for it when I have Flynn and Beast working so well for my skin tone. Do keep in mind that these liquid lips do stain the lips a little bit, but I'm not personally bothered by that. Overall, it sticks better than some other lipsticks I've owned in the past, and the fact that it stains helps make the lipstick look a little more in tact than it actually is after eating/drinking.

This is a bit warmer than what I usually prefer for red lips, but I do still really enjoy the color and I will use it occasionally - just maybe not as much as Colour Pop's Snow White lipstick (which is even more bold on my fair skin, but I enjoy the color more).

Wonderboy is very bold on my fair skin, but I do still like the color enough that I will wear it occasionally. It won't see as much use as Flynn, Beast, or probably even Prince Naveen (which is also bold, but I love red lips), but I'm glad I have it in my collection nonetheless.

Of the eight colors released in this collection, this is my favorite (with Beast taking second place). I definitely see myself searching for dupes when I inevitably run out of this in the future.

I also agree with Christine's review in that this blush is much more pigmented than it claims to be. Definitely make sure that you don't have much on your brush and that you go very light-handed, and you'll (probably) be okay. I do think that I'll continue using this product because I like the color, but it will take a bit of time to make sure I'm not adding too much and overdoing it with my fair skin.
I wanted to like this foundation, and I did everything I could to make it work for me, but it just wouldn't happen despite multiple attempts. Rather than hide what I wanted it to hide, it just emphasized everything bad. I tried with and without primer. I tried applying it with my fingers, brushes, and sponges. Nothing worked. It left my textured cheeks and jawline looking even more textured, it creased, it looked cakey even when I tried to go as light handed as possible. I'm happy this foundation works for a lot of people, but it just didn't work for me. (Side note: I have combination skin. Dry cheeks/oily T-zone.)

I never want to buy another mascara. My eyelashes are already decently long, but this makes them seem so much longer and thicker. As someone who wears glasses all the time, false lashes aren't a good option for me (they rub against my glasses), and of all the mascaras I've tried, this one gives me the closest effect to wearing false lashes. I bought the waterproof version, and it has done well at staying put so far.
