I've used this palette a lot because I wanted to see how it would perform. The powders are super soft and easy to blend. They're pretty pigmented and give a bright highlight. Something to note is that all of the shades have a very fine, iridescent micro glitter in them. It doesn't show up super glittery on your face but it's there.
I'm not sure what range of skin tones this would work for, honestly. I can wear all of them and I'm pretty light. I think they may start to look ashy on really tan or deeper skin.
I have one of the lip kits in the shade Eden, but my lip liner is misprinted. My lip liner from the kit is labeled as Skylar, but that's actually a different lip kit. At first, I thought I had the lip liner from the wrong kit, but it's definitely the shade of the Eden lip kit and so different from Skylar, so it's just a misprinted label.
The Lip Liner in the shade Eden is a pink-nude shade that pulls pretty peachy on me. The lip liner is very creamy, pigmented, and easy to apply. The Liquid Lipstick in Eden matches the lip pencil perfectly. It reminds me of the liquid lipsticks from Stila, which I'm not the biggest fan of. It's pigmented, but it can get streaky, it feels really thick and heavy on your lips, too. It seemed to exaggerate the lines on my lips. Another issue I had with it is it seemed to stay a little sticky. I naturally have really dry lips and it's hard to keep them moisturized. If my lips were more hydrated, this most likely would have performed much better. I like the lip liner, but I'm not a fan of the Liquid Lipstick.
I also have the Lip Gloss in Char. This gloss is a mauve-ish shade that is actually close to my natural lip color and it's vanilla scented. The gloss is very pigmented and kind of thick, which made it a little awkward to apply but once it's on, it's really pretty. It is slightly sticky, but not too much. I can deal with it and I'm picky.
My favorite thing is "The Spotlight" Highlight palette. I'm not a big fan of the Liquid Lipstick, but honestly that comes down to personal preference. I just prefer the ones that are a thinner consistency. The Lip Liner is good, but it's very similar to the Nyx ones I have. I also liked the gloss. I think it's a pretty shade and the formula isn't bad.
You can find all of these on their website.
Let me know what your favorite thing is!
