This product creases like crazy. It's definitely not a match for my combination skin.

I've owned MAC's "PLEASE ME" for several years by now. I always like it as a lipstick I would grab every now and then. It used to reside in my lipstick drawer, but I didn't use it as much, since sometimes it applies a bit funny (a bit uneven, when my lips get dry and flaky). My one true love is Estee Lauder's Potent (310), but the company discontinued it. That's when I started searching for a decent dupe. I've tested every possible one I found on Temptalia's dupe list, but some of them are also discontinued. And one day, I just thought "Why don't I just use "please me" to see if it compliments this eye makeup?" and it all came together. Those two lipsticks may not look identical in the tube, but on my lips are almost the same colour (potent is a bit warmer and lighter-nothing I can't look past). Ever since that day, it lives comfortably in my everyday makeup bag, ready to be used and cherished whenever I get to go on a night out. It definitely isn't an everyday shade (one I would wear to work or a morning stroll with friends) but it's perfect for a night out, paired with brown smokey eyes, to brighten up the makeup and make it look fresh and youthful. Just use some lip balm to hydrate before applying it and you're ready to go.

MAC blushes are almost always great in texture and payoff...the thing with "sincere" is that it's a really boring and unnatural colour. It reminds me of a very warm, almost orange, bronzer. It certainly doesn't suit MY skin colour (light-medium with N undertones), but I don't think anyone could wear this and look naturally flushed/bronzed...

I have mixed feeling for this foundation. I really like that I don't have to set it or touch up with powder at any point, when I use it (that means I actually use less products on my face, keep it simple and save time). On the other hand it clogs my pores so badly, it causes breakouts, if I only use it a few times. Now, if I choose to use it more than that, I tend to get cystic acne on my forehead and cheeks (it took me sometime to realize that was caused by this foundation). Overall, it's a big NO for me, but it doesn't mean it'll cause other people the same results. (I have really sensitive skin and not many products suit me)

It's a really good product. I use it both to set the face and the under eye area (just to save some time in the morning and space in my makeup bag) and it works just fine. I will definitely repurchase it, but keeping in mind that the container holds too little product, I'll probably get 2 this time just to be sure that I won't run out of it. Last, but certainly not least, this powder needs touch ups a couple of hours after the application, so you may want to keep it in your bag when going out.

This is the best powder foundation I've ever used. It can be used on its own on those days that you don't need the extra coverage, but it can also be used on top of your foundation for a flawless skin whenever you feel like you need that. Another alternative is to apply it to set your foundation with a powder brush, and it will also look amazing. It's so lighweight that you can't possibly make it look heavy and cakey, however you choose to use this product.

I really enjoy using this foundation. It's creamy and considering I have very sensitive, acne prone skin, and this product has never caused any break out on me, I think it's perfect. It's quite pigmented, medium coverage and buildable, so if you feel like you need a full coverage, you can definitely get that by applying a second layer. The only con of it, is the range of shades (at least the ones we have in Greece). I was searching for a light shade with a pink undertone and the only thing I could get was #39 (fairest, fair skin tones with a pink undertone). Fortunately, I can still get it to work by using a slightly darker powder on top, followed by bronzer.

Great colour payoff and the blackest black I've come across, but it transfers too much 🙁

I use "gold deposit" during the summer to make my bronzers a bit more shimmery and warmer for my evening looks. I wouldn't use it on its own, since I'm too fair for such deep colour. On top of that, trying to build it up would probably end in lots of sparkle on my face (kind of a disco ball effect-not cool). Overall, I would say it's a decent product and a nice colour, but it must be used cautiously!

Perfect shade to warm up my face for everyday use. (I'm NC25 during winter and NC30 in the summer)

Love, love, love this! It's the perfect nude liner for my natural lip colour. I have no idea why it took me so long to buy this one

It''s a good everyday colour, but the formula is just too drying for the lips and too sticky to bear...Thank God it's longwearing, otherwise I would have probably gotten rid of it

It's a really beautiful shimmery light purple shade. It makes my brown eyes pop. There's only one disadvantage to it and that's the fact that fades after 1-2 hours, even though I always apply a shadow primer. I guess I'll try using it wet and get right back to post my opinion on that

Great colour, especially for summer, but its sparkle gives the empression of a metallic blush. I find it perfect paired with a red lip for a summer night out, but I wouldn't wear it during the day.

"Pink swoon" can be really scary when you first lay eyes on it since it's one of the most vibrant blushes MAC produces. But...when you take it home and play with it a little bit, you do realise that it's an extremely pretty girly pink. It makes you look awake and fresh even if you had a rough night. As for the product, it has great colour payoff and it lasts forever, since you only need a little bit to get that flushed cheeks effect.

A really nice everyday blush, but I personally think that you don't have to spend that much money on this MAC product. It's a colour that can be easily duped

This one, along with Ruby Woo, are my two favourite red lipsticks. It's a satin finish, thus it's not drying at all, and you can wear it all day long without feeling any discomfort.

Pedro is right. No pigmentation at all...Such a waste of money :/

Too much blue toned shimmer in that one...Maybe it's just me, but that much sparkle in an already vibrant coloured lip product makes it look cheap.
