| Mary Kay® Cream Eye Color in Apricot Twist |
I didn't really care for the cream eye color. The color barely showed up on my skin tone and it's not a color I would typically wear. I understand why they included this color, but I would have loved to try out one of the other colors instead. I could have managed to work with the color on future eye looks if it didn't also look drying on my eye lids. I'm not sure if that's an issue with the formula overall or just this color. I have tried other cream eye colors that I like that are less expensive so I would not purchase this in other colors at $14 a pop.

| Mary Kay® Gel Eyeliner with Expandable Brush Applicator in Jet Black |
I liked the gel eyeliner. I am not sure what I did with the brush so that's why it's missing from the picture. I used one of my E.L.F. brushes to apply it to my upper lash line. Although I own a couple gel eyeliners from other brands, this was my first experience with using it. I really like how creamy it was and it glided on so easily. I love how pigmented it is and it seemed to have staying power. I do set all eyeliner regardless of brand/type with a black/dark eyeshadow. While I'm not sure that I would repurchase at the $18 price tag, it did help me feel more comfortable using a gel eyeliner. I would definitely recommend this product.
The powder brush appeared to be a bonus item as it wasn't listed on the information card. I did not use this brush because I didn't like how it felt on hands even after washing. It is not soft. It feels scratchy. I expected better quality for a $18 brush.
I had no issues with the cream eye color brush. It worked fine for applying the cream eye color and is a nice addition to my brush collection. Although I like this brush, I would not repurchase it at the $10 price point.
This lip gloss was sticky and had a slight fruity scent. The formula didn't really entice me to want to purchase other colors. Mango Tango is an orange-red color with shimmer and not a color I would ever buy for myself. Since it can go on sheer, I was able to make it work and get a lip look that I didn't completely hate. This lip gloss is available in several shades at $14.
I've used translucent loose powders before so I was very familiar with this type of product. It's pretty similar to the ones I have from other brands so I don't think I would repurchase this one for $16. I do like it and it did deliver what the product promises - Feels weightless, natural and velvety soft on skin, Provides a sheer, invisible finish. I love that the sifter can be locked to help prevent a mess. I would recommend this product as well.
Now I usually hate mascaras with this type of wand, but I loved this one. This was my favorite item in the box. I liked the formula and how it applied. I loved the look of my lashes after using this mascara. I would be willing to purchase this at the $15 price as I feel it's worth it. The name is perfect as I had lash love after using it.
