I like her bronze & brighten. Her baked shadows are really pretty as well. I could stare at those swirls all day.

i've just recently tried her lip stay (sephora rewards) and i love it. great color, moisturizing, and great stay power.

I liked the texture of the blushes (the ones that look like MSF), but I found them off for my skin. A lot of them were too pale. I'm East Asian, btw

I too tried some of the blushes, but found they made me look ashy. I'm 6.5 in Bobbi Brown and NC50 in Mac to give a point of reference

I tried the bronze and brighten and it was terrible. Her products are not made for WOC looks way ashy. I returned to QVC the same day it came in the mail.

I love Laura Gellar's baked products! I have some of her Blush 'n' Brightens that are just wonderful on me. They're nicely pigmented too. I have it in Apricot and Berry. If you're wondering what they look like, I've posted some tutorials and fotds with them and some stuff in the swatch thread. Just use the search function to find them.

I also *love* their baked eyeshadows which are very comparable to the ones that came out with Flashtronic!

I LOVE Laura Geller's Blush-N-Brighten! Like blazeno.8 mentioned, they're nicely pigmented. They're not too shimmery and applies smoothly. Too bad there's NO Laura Geller in Australia so I have to use CP (Thanks to the trustworthy and lovely Love Always Ivy who CPed the Laura Geller blushes for me!!!!).

Here's my swatch of the 4 blushes that I have (Missing out sunswept, can someone provide Sunswept swatch for me, please?)

Also they're not as glittery as many MSFs.

I've been eyeing up the blue baked eyeshadow on ebay. We don't have laura geller in the UK - does anyone know how it compares to ether from flashtronic?

I have her lip spackle and don't really care for it. It's a pasty, matte, pale concoction and I don't like the way it feels on -- dry. I chuckle thinking about Tyrone Biggums, Dave Chappelle's crackhead character, when I use it.

The texture of the Blush n Brighten powders is excellent. I had Berry but swapped it away because the color just wasn't right for me.

But I had serious issues with Golden Apricot. The color was right, but I could barely get it to show up. By the time I put on enough of it to get the slightest hint of peachy orange, I looked like a disco ball. I like NARS Taj Mahal a lot more than Laura Gellar when it comes to shimmery orange blush.

My reviews...

Caulk eye pencil (Dark) Yeah...not dark enough. The texture of the pencil is amazing, it's really smooth and comes with a blending end, but the colors suck ass.

Eye Spackle: white as hell, doesn't stay like UDPP or TF Shadow Insurance does.

Lips Spackle: Also white as hell, thus I saw no point.

Baked powders: well, they all looked gray on me. Even though the rep claimed that the balance and brighten and bronze and brighten would be suitable for darker skin, they weren't.

Spackle Under Makeup Primer: I would like this more if not for the purple opalescence it has. If I wanted to look purple, I'd put on a Titanium Dioxide based Sunblock.

Overall, I wasn't tremendously impressed by anything in the line and I would not give it a stamp of approval for being WoC Friendly.
