Hi, I recently ordered the 7-layer masterpiece makeup set. However, the eyeshadows smell of strong chemicals! Is this normal?

Greetings Y. Tang. Yes it is normal for them to have a slight smell to them. However, it isn't unpleasant. If the odor you smell is too strong or you feel is not normal, I would suggest contacting the manufacturer with your concerns and see if there is anything they can do for you. I hope this helped. :-) Be blessed.

Hi, my eyeshadows didn't have a strong smell, I suggest you exchange it, because some time the batch might be different

I just consulted my mua and she recommends the same thing to just get it replaced

I'm not sure why the ingredients are different, most countries are stricter than ours about what can be put into their products. I have used the stuff from ULTA, and side by side they look, smell, and feel the same.

I've had that concern, myself. There have been instances of me ordering facial care products from Ebay, etc., where the product itself has been fairly old. I'm please with what I received however, if there is a concern ... it might be best to order directly from the company itself. The products, since they're organic, probably do have a shorter shelf life.Hope this helped somewhat.

Hi Brown Fan, I would recommend just looking up some you tube depotting tutorial videos. There are tons of tutorials online. You can even search using your specific brand of makeup (i.e. "Almay eyeshadow depotting")

Thanks Reyes, this is very helpful. Thanks to you, I will be sure to give it plenty of time to dry. It sounds like might not give me exactly the visual effect I was hoping for, but I will end liking it for the way it makes my face feel (which is what it is really suppose do to.) I will try it out this weekend. Thanks again.

Got mine on E**y. I have the same concerns: here is a link which I've found useful.http://www.cosmeticsdesign.com/Business-Financial/Elizabeth-Arden-sued-for-unauthorized-fragrance-distribution My opinion is if you buy online, buy from the main company or AMAZON! AMAZON stands behind everything they sell and have NEVER let me down! Good Luck!

sorry to hear. it's annoying, especially if you're meticulous with these things! i'm not sure it's common (at least it hasn't happened to me). however, i do use a lens blower/duster, a microfiber, methyl alcohol cleaning liquid. see this useful link from Ken Rockwell (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/cleaning.htm) and more generic help from B&H;: http://goo.gl/L3ZE9. good luck. post back how you make out.

Kristen, Amazon sent me an email asking if I could answer your question. I first used Indian Earth in the late 1980s and early 1990s and I recently found it and began using it again. I don't know much about makeup or what the terms matte or shimmer mean. All I can tell you is that it's a powder and when you lightly brush it on your face using the puff, the Indian Earth interacts with the warmth of your skin and that's how the color is affected. Remember to only lightly brush it on because you only need a little. When I use it, I notice that my skin feels soft and smooth and the color makes me look like I've been in the sun. I hope this helps. Kristen, Amazon sent me an email asking if I could answer your question.

I can answer abt the smell....I purchased they're perle cream from the neocutis site itself and it smells funny as well. I believe its just the smell of their products with the exception of their eye cream. Cuz even their cleanser has a funny odor like medicine

That, I don't know, must be the year of manufacture, Perhaps you can look up info on Obsession by typing "history or review of Obsession" into your browser. What I did find is that when Coty bought out Obsession from Calvin Klein, the formula changed, so it smells different, and in my opinion the new formula is terrible, very cheap and loud smelling, so I ended up finding and buying the older, original formula off of ebay as their are still bottles available, just be sure it is the original formula made by Calvin Klein, I hope this helps,Jane

I have the same problem! I love this stuff! NO more minor breakouts and not too oily or dry. My skin feels silky! During the day I do balance the slight oily feeling with all day wear makeup which I previously couldn't use cause it would be too dry and flaky looking in the dry spots! My skin is so clear and some of the lines are disappearing! Truth! At night it feels a little greasy, but when I wake up...bam! Baby butt skin! Lol

I found the smell to be faint and a bit different. What I choose to do was add organic essential oil of vanilla. The oil is wonderful for the face and body. Add a few droppers to your normal lotion to create a long lasting moisturizing effect.

Well I bought a bottle and took it to my friend who buys directly from doterra... Well hers smelled a lot stronger than mine. The consistency felt off as well. I do not recommend buying from here.

One Blush/Bronzer Brush, One Eyelash/Brow comb, Two Different Sized Eye shadow Brushes ,Two Different Sized Eyeliner Brushes, One That Fits Inside A Mascara, (TIP- Ran Out Of Liquid Liner? Just Take The Smaller Brush, Dip It In VOILA!!) And One Blending Brush For Waterline Or shadow, They Are Travel Size-Medium So They Are Kinda Small But They Also Are A little Cheap.....

Hi Brianna to be perfectly honest I don't know I brought the eyeshadow as a xmas present for my daughter. I can ask her if you want when I get a chance. They were beautfiul and good quality but the compact was small

It looks like this is a different set than the one I got. The one I got had pastels mixed in the the more vibrant colors. The pastels were the ones I did not like. This one looks O.K. I would suggest looking into BH Cosmetics. For the price those are definitely worth it. BH Cosmetics 120 Color Eyeshadow Palette 2nd Edition - I use this one every day.
