Pros:
-nice variety in shades
-two creaseless cream shadows
-large mirror

Cons:
-NONE

Packaging: This sweet little quad comes in a vintage looking box that closes with a moderate magnet closure. The four shadows are enclosed in a paper palette, with space for the two mini creaseless cream shadows. It has a LARGE mirror that doesn’t wrinkle or distort. It also has two different looks, a Daytime and a Playtime, with pictures and words.

Review: I have been having a lot of fun playing with this set, along with my two Wet N Wild neutral limited edition palettes. I’ve not used much of Benefit (a few mascaras) but found myself really impressed. The creaseless cream shadows included are Birthday Suit and My Two Cents. I believe Birthday Suit is a cult favorite. It’s a well-earned reputation. The shadows are the same size as MAC singles. Call My Buff looks like a shade you could use to highlight the rest of your face and It’s Complicated is a pink with gold shimmer that reminds me of Nars Orgasm blush. Colors are buttery soft and blendable with great pigmentation. Had I created this palette, I think I would have chosen 4 browns, not a highlight and a pink but I appreciate having these options in this palette. It is a GREAT value for $30. The entire box can be emptied too, to use as a keepsake box.

Danny suggests:

1.      The appropriate tip for a stylist/colorist is 20% of the cost of the service.

2.      The shampoo assistant should receive a $3 to $5 tip and a little more if he/she assisted in your color process.

3.      For assistants who do the blow-dries, 10 to 15 percent of the color/cut price is appropriate, and more towards 15% if your hair is long.

4.      If you are not happy with your cut/color let the salon know ASAP.  Generally it is the salon’s policy to redo your hair until you are happy with it.

5.      A “fix” must be done right away.  Ideally the next day is the appropriate time to come in and a week later at the most.  After a week there will already be some re-growth.

6.      It is an insult to tell your stylist how to cut your hair, you would never dream of telling your doctor/dentist what to do.  Yet, it is okay to express a preference, as in if you prefer scissors to a razor cut or vice versa.

7.      DO NOT cancel 10 minutes before an appointment.

8.      Most salons confirm appointments the day before.  Yet, common courtesy is a 24-hour cancellation.   Stylists like most people in the service business sell blocks of their time.  Time lost is money lost.

9.      Busy stylists/colorists have waiting lists.  Don’t call on a “bad-hair day” or right before a vacation and expect an immediate appointment.  Plan Ahead.

10. Treat your stylist/colorist with the respect that you command.  After all, they are the ones that make YOU look good.

11. Dress like your real self: It can be a little intimidating going to a fashion-forward hairstylist, especially if you’re not exactly on the cutting edge of fashion yourself. But it’s important to represent yourself honestly so that your stylist can give you a hairstyle that fits your personality. You don’t want to end up with someone else’s hair.

12. What should I do when the only thing my stylist wants to do is talk and gossip and I just want to chill out?”

Reading a magazine or chatting on the cell phone to avoid your stylist can sometimes be a little distracting for them, so if you want to relax and trust your stylist, sit down in the chair and immediately tell them how you had such a long day and can’t wait for some R&R time at the salon. You can even close your eyes to indicate you just want to zone out.

WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT FROM YOUR STYLIST:

HIS/HER FULL, UNDIVIDED ATTENTION.

You are paying for his/her time and expertise, so a stylist should never walk away from you in the middle of a cut. Similarly, both a stylist and a colorist should remain in the salon until all of your treatments are completed and your hair is dry.

SOMEONE WHO LISTENS WELL AND NEVER BULLIES.

Ultimately, you are the one who has to wear the hair, so a good stylist will never try to “talk you into” something you don’t really want.

NO INAPPROPRIATE CONVERSATION OR CONTACT.

It’s true that many client-stylist relationships do evolve into genuine friendships, but if you and your stylist are mere acquaintances, then it’s never OK for the stylist to initiate anything more intimate. If that is ever to happen, it must first come from the client.

Switching Hair Stylists

The trickiest situation is when you want to change hair stylists within the salon. If you think of your hair stylist as your friend and want to avoid hurt feelings, being clear about what you want in advance—and noting what you don’t like immediately—can save the day. Otherwise, you’ll have to decide if you want to swap hairdressers or switch hair salons. If you really want to change hair stylists, try this: Tell your hair stylist that next time, you’d like to try Mary, and that you hope he or she won’t be offended. Explain why, and give your hairdresser a chance to right any wrong. You can also speak to the salon owner, asking him or her to smooth it over for you.

Don’t simply make an appointment with someone else—you’ll risk having your regular hairdresser greet you at the door (where you’ll both feel embarrassed) or see you in another hair stylists chair later, which creates bad feelings. Fortunately, many hair salons encourage hair stylist swaps, and ones with different pricing levels give you an easy out. Of course, if you start out by trying different hairdressers with each visit, it’ll be a lot easier, and you’ll simply be appreciated as a loyal salon client.

THANK YOU KENRA and Jacqueline for the support!!!

These liquid shimmers can be used as highlighters on the cheek bones, cupids bow, bridge of the nose, etc. for that beautiful glow. You can also mix some of the shimmer with your foundation for an all over illuminating glow.

Here is a small pump applied on my hand.

**Overall,  I love the price point for these liquid shimmers. I remember purchasing the Urban Decay highlighters a few months ago from Hautelook, and the price point for those cream highlighters were great & they work pretty well too! But for some reason, I reach for the cream highlighters during the winter and the liquid highlighters during the Spring and Summer. The pigmentation of these liquid shimmers are great!  As for photography, you really do see the shimmer, and it does not cast a glare! Love that! Perfect to use on brides if you’re wondering! When applied they don’t feel oily like most shimmers and highlighters do. They tend to have that texture & feel to them– but these do not.  I highly recommend these for make-up artists, especially, but if you’re a make-up lover, you definitely need one of these in your life!

PROS: pigmented, variety, love the texture, long lasting, beautiful glow (:

CONS: none!

Long lasting color and lasts even longer with lip liner. Another bonus is that it doesn’t sit in fine lines.

My favorite part about these lipsticks is that they give full color payout while still maintaining a semi translucent feel. It’s the perfect Summer lipstick where you can show off lip color without looking like you are on a dinner date.
