My experience: I used the urban decay anti-aging primer potion, and used the shadow wet for an intense color (shown in the picture at the end of this post). This shadow is comparable to MAC shadows at a fraction of the cost, and I would highly recommend. The size of the shadow alone blows most drug store shadows out of the water.

Comparison: MAC match master 8.0 & Sleek Cosmetics Crème to powder -Henna
My experience: In the first impression video I did not apply primer, however I would suggest a primer for extended wear for all skin types, This foundation is good for dry skin (my dry patches stayed moisturized all day), Dewy finish and definite medium to full coverage. The foundation lasted at least 9 hours before I needed to powder, and could have lasted a bit longer if I had not gone for a walk. I would highly recommend pairing with the wet/dry pressed powder for Oily skin types.

My thoughts: First and foremost, this powder is a MUST for you oily skin'd ladies. I love it wet for my dry skin, and works very well with the Sheer Foundation. Re-applies evenly and works well as wet powder as well. I just don't like how the pan looks after used wet (as seen above). The powder does give an airbrushed finish (shown below in the picture at the end of the post).

Similar products: Sleek Cosmetics Contour Kit- Dark. While this is to be used as a blush, I am using it
as a contour powder .
My thoughts: This blush works well as a contour for me, the color comes off a little more burgundy on my face, that the brown color in the pan. This Shea moisture blush is matte, and can be layer to intensify the color.
Overall Thoughts: I like the products and I can’t wait to get the palette so I can place all the pans in one palette. I feel as though these products fall in line with your typical drug store makeup. I wish however target had testers in each shade, so that the consumer can swatch before buying. I also would have liked if the store would have waited to fully stock the display before putting it out on the floor.
I did notice a few bumps on my cheeks the first day after applying the sheer foundation, which I thought meant I was allergic, but the mini heat rash type bumps went away the next day. I may attribute this also to other new facial products I am currently reviewing. I just wanted to be honest about my experience thus far. All in all, once target has all items in stock, I would say run over and check it out IF you need some new products.
