I find it ridiculously expensive for a drugstore brand and complete ripoff of MAC. Even the font is the same! My fiancee (typical male when it comes to makeup) even noticed the similarities and commented that they are trying to copy MAC. I find it amusing.

I totally know what you mean. They have an exact copy of Blue Brown and Pink Pearl. I bought the one that looks like Blue Brown and I swatched it with my mac pigment and could not tell the difference at all. But then again if mac is too expensive for some people this would be the way to go. But still... I haven't noticed the font yet but I will check it out lol.

i have a bottle of the foundation... its kinda weird.
it goes on real orange and then 10 minutes later it kinda adjusts to your skin color... just makes you look tan. But it is kinda greasy. i have a duo of like an organish color and a cream color. its nice... it really does match macs colors tho... kinda funny.

Tenacious is a dead ringer for tan, also (go check my swatches in the swatch section). The off-white one has NOTHING on Vanilla though.

This thread convinced me to go out and get some HIP! I bought Tenacious (super-shimmery tan) loose pigment and Intrepid (luxe MAC Blue Brown knockoff) loose pigment. Intrepid is super pretty and amazingly vivid on my eyes, it really makes my nearly black eyes stand out. Can be used wet or dry to deliver gorgeous color, and the texture is very fine.
Tenacious is a little more difficult to blend, it doesn't seem as smooth as Intrepid, but it is much more shimmery/metallic and looks gooooorgeous on my NC45 skin, so I'm willing to work with it a little. Wheeee. None of the other HIP colors appealed to me, I think my Walgreen's doesn't have the full range of colors maybe? Either way it was a good deal at BOGO, so $6 each. I also used my fingers to apply them, I'm sure using a brush would make it easier.

I have all the pure pigments sticks and the pigment powders not as blendable as macs but if you try using baby oil on a brush then rub it over the tip of the pigment sticks they don't go on as harshly and clump too bad. the duos are okay, but kind of hard. I like the pots because they have mirrors i use them to store pigments or too mix.
