Their products are really very nice. I had a makeover yesterday and I looked preety good. Bought all the products they used on me except the bronzer but almost fell down from shock when they told me they din't have the liquid liner in stock. From what d girls said they had run out from almost a week, an ord liquid liner. I was really dissapointed. Prices for liquid foundation, powder are like 7k each, lip gloss - 3k, kohl eyeliners - about 3k too. I have to give it to them though the products are first class and don't come cheap. Best buy.
