... depending on where you go. As it is so cheap it is great to experiment with different colours to suit you. The down side to it of course is that it is cheap and therefore this reflects the quality of the products. I have personally only tried the lipstick and the nail varnish, therefore can only comment on these. Spectacular lipstick is very greasy and the colour only lasts about 30 minutes. However if you apply a topcoat of clear lip gloss, it lasts a little bit longer. The nail varnish looks good for a couple of...more

The powder is easy to remove and correctly applied over ... Read the complete review
