I have never heard of this brand before, but I was kindly given the opportunity to try some of their products.

Transforming Eye Gel ($10.00 for 18 mL / .60 fl oz)

A must-have product for all makeup users. This versatile transforming eye gel has endless possibilities to creating the most basic or creative eye looks. A great eye shadow primer when used alone or mixed with your favorite eye color to deliver long lasting wear and an intense color. Mix with Stardust to create a water-resistant, vibrant and bold color that won't crease or fade.

 The squeezable tube makes it easy to use the exact amount of product needed.

The gel-consistency is perfect, it's not runny at all, it's very lightweight, and it dries very quickly, which is a big pro for me.

 Maybelline Eyestudio in Copper Chic

I must start by saying that I'm relatively new to makeup primers, so I don't have a lot of products to compare this one to. For this review, I only used it as an eyeshadow primer, and I think it works well. My eyeshadow didn't budge and it stayed as vibrant as it was in the morning.

Mineral Perfection in 51 Ivory ($26.00)

Delivers all day coverage with its unique cream to powder formulation which instantly softens the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines with a very natural finish. This mineral-based product is talc and paraben free. Versatile use on a wide range of skin types.

Contains two key active ingredients: Dermaxyl, for its anti-aging, wrinkle-reducing effect, and Collagen Tripeptide, to stimulates collagen production. To further protect the skin, Mineral Perfection was specially formulated with anti-inflammatory ingredients that promote cell reproduction and protect the skin with its unique sunscreen activity.

To apply, simply use the sponge applicator provided to blend evenly into the skin. For maximum, full coverage, Mineral Perfection can be layered.

I love the packaging, it looks very classy (even tough it feels a little cheap to the touch), and I think it's cool that it flips open to reveal the sponge. I personally wouldn't apply this foundation with the provided sponge, but it's nice that they included one anyway, it can always come in handy.

I was surprised to see that this foundation really provides a natural finish even tough its coverage is medium to heavy. It concealed my large pores perfectly and it left my skin feeling soft and smooth. It's also great to conceal trouble spots such as blemishes as it's easily buildable.

Unfortunately, this product isn't available in a wide selection of color, and it was a little hard for me to pick the perfect shade from looking at the swatches on the website. Don't you think the fourth and the fifth ones look very similar? I settled for the fourth one and I would say it suits my skintone well, but not perfectly. It's a little too yellow but I don't think it's that much noticeable.

 Mineral Stardust in 31 ($12.00 for 2g / 7 oz)

Our Stardust is a highly concentrated loose powder that comes in a wide range of colors. Use to create a subtle effect or dramatic intense color. Mix with our eye primer to create a dramatic look. This exetremely versatile product is key to any makeup kit as it can be used on the eyes, cheeks or body, or to create your own custom lip or nail color. Can be used alone, blended together, or mixed with other makeup.

 The packaging is very basic, with a sticker on the back to indicate the name and shade of the product.

OMG This eyeshadow is the prettiest! Seriously, look at that! It so pigmented and shimmery, I absolutely love it! I don't even think the pictures do it justice...

I've never been a fan of pigments because of their messiness, but they are great as they tend to be more pigmented than pressed eyeshadows, and this one is no expection. Unfortunately, even with a primer, it creased at the end of the day.

I love the texture, it's very buttery and it glides so smoothly on the lids.
