You should also try Bad to the Bronze, if you haven't. It's my favorite and can be worn under so many things! I have heard terrible things about the Covergirl lip pens. They feel apart for 3 of my friends. But if you are interested in swatches, my friend has some on her blog. http://www.beautybuzzhub.com/2012/11/new-cover-girl-lip-perfection-jumbo.html =)
I bought the mascara, but plan to return it. I have several I really like and based on reviews I have seen I don't think it will be mindblowingly good on my lashes.
I tried the nearly naked foundation and powder, and returned them as well. The foundation has such little coverage (my favorite TM has better coverage) that it really was not worth bothering. It performs well with the matching powder, however the powder is so thick and heavy it was very obvious on.. and with my usual powder the foundation broke down very quickly, did not perform well at all.
I own all of the color tattoos, but have only work barely branded and inked in pink so far, they are lovely.
I picked up one of the loreal shadow quads in rose for romance, it is gorgeous and the shadow is good quality. I have heard a lot of negative reviews for them though so I wonder if there is some inconsistency between the quads.
I picked up a true match concealer pencil in the darkest shade to use for contour, and it works very well for that purpose. I have fair skin so there is enough contrast in the darker shade, and you can simply draw it on where you want it and blend it out very easily. I have one in my usual shade on order, waiting for it to arrive.
I do not wear traditional lipsticks, but I have seen several reviews on the vivids and they seem to look good on everyone. I was very impressed that they were able to make such bright shades that were so wearable.
That's too bad about the Revlon not working out for you. I do not need much coverage and it covers everything I could want it too. It has the same coverage as UD Naked which I love. It is definitely not a full coverage foundation. I set mine with my MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Powder and it held all day.
I do believe that with any line there is an inconsistency in the shades. I adore MAC eyeshadows but sometimes the limited edition collections come out with the same finish eye shadows that are so stiff. I think it has to do with coloring and formulation each time.
The Vivids are gorgeous. I was going to pass but Vivid Rose reminded me of MAC's Impassioned which I used up and was about to repurchase but this was less than half the price. I tend to lean more towards lipgloss or lip crayon types of things but I have really been getting into lipstick lately.
