Disco Makeup
“I am picky with my TF eyeshadows, I don't buy them all, but rather select the ones that will work for many occasions and moods (Nude Dip - cool everyday, Disco Dust - perfect date or just for a sexy look, Mercurial - what Honeymoon and Body Heat cannot do for me - sophisticated and can make 3-4 looks) and now this Rose Prisme - so pretty, soft and everyday”
Glam Makeup
“The shadow is versatile as it can be subtle enough for work, but also glam for a night out. I have Nectar, but all the shades are flattering”
Glow Makeup
“This is THE most naturally glowing highlighter I have ever used. Makes it look like you woke up with a glow from within”

Creative Makeup
“I find it good for quick, everyday use and when you want to be a little more creative... espeically since it's not impossible to remove if you make a mistake - you just take off the makeup underneath since it's waterproof”
Extreme Makeup
“Wow this color is beautiful!! Extreme Power is a nice rose color that would look great on most skin tones”
Neon Makeup
“I do find I get some volume and quite an inky, almost smokey look from this. It's neon cobalt blue and really adds to the overall darkness of the look”
Glitter Makeup
“A little too expensive for what you get (1 color and glittery coating). The stick shadow is the star to me as the glitter topper pulls the color off that you just put down plus starts to crease after about 20 minutes”
