The size of the lipsticks, lipgloss, blush, eyeshadows, etc are about the same size as Wet n Wild that you'd get from the drugstore. So they're not trial packs or single use portions. When you get them in the mail, they're packaged like drugstore brand products.
Most of the sale is through the online store, so I think overhead is pretty low.
There's no "catch" but just set realistic expectations. I've had brush heads fallen off the shielding gloss. The seal on the bottom of another shielding gloss separate so it started to squeeze out from the bottom of the tube. Bristles from the face brush have fallen and stayed on my face during mid application of powder. But I've ran into similiar problems with products I've purchased from target in the cheapie section too. So, don't expect $20 products for a bargain price of $1 each. That would be setting both yourself and the product to not meet your expectations.
The only "catch" I can think of is that there's a bit of trial and error with the colors. But that's the case anytime you order stuff online. I've ordered stuff and wasn't too hot on the color. And it's not worth the effor to return since it's so cheap.
I haven't ordered in a while, but I would recommend the following products:
Clear Mascara - i have problems with mascara in general, this just helps to keep my lashes and brows groomed and going the same direction.
Shimmering Facial Whip - good multi-functional product. Use as blush, eye shadow, lip color.
Soothng Lip Gloss - good color coverage. soothing minty flavor. reliable applicator (not a brush) my fav!
Brushes - cheapest around! good to practice on before you buy something expensive and good.
Radiance Blush - good natural shine for cheeks.
Partial recommendations on:
Hypershine Gloss - good gloss, but the applicator sux and it goes by really really fast (portion is small)
Shielding Gloss - another good gloss, but the tube came apart on me once in my purse. needless to say, i'm annoyed by that. i wish they'd put it in a different container.
Eye liner - Pretty decent for the price.
