"I love all the products. As a student myself I am always looking for the best things to use at a cheaper price. Going out twice a week means I need to be able to top up on my makeup for a good price as I run out more now than I did before. My favourite product is the eyeshadow palette. The colours are so powerful and give off such a good shine. Absolutely love this product, and I will be getting more colours when I get a top up on my student loan."
