I've always had such a debate about teen advertised beauty products. I've always used products for adults. I know that's probably foolish, but I just think the quality is better. I know the packaging is really fun, but I always loved taking out a glam YSL compact or a lovely Chanel black and white lacquered mirror when I was a teen and thinking I was sleek and sophisticated. I think this has done well. It doesn't look silly like "Sugar" and I think even adults might be drawn to this. But, I just feel that better ingredients and more care go into adult focused products. Yes, you pay the price, but you also reap the rewards. I know if a teen is paying it out of their own pocket, a YSL compact is out of the question. But, if you can afford it, I'd really recommend it because they can get you foundations and powders that can target skin issues that might help acne and oily prone skin. Also, I feel lip-glosses for teens are slicker and come off quicker. Adult glosses are tackier and last longer. It's great to have a cheaper and fun line for a younger audience, but if you're a parent buying for your teenager, think about maybe splurging on a foundation or concealer in an adult category just because skin can be such an issue for teens. Eyeshadows and mascaras---go for it! But, I think when it comes to the face, you really need to be careful
Nice idea but I don't like the packaging. Doesn't say 'cool' to me. PoshGamer, I imagine the beauty companies don't care if it's 'right', more 'will it sell'.

Hmm, it's been a long, long time since I was a teen but I want to play with this line!
Cute! Things sure have changed from my teenage days. All we had was Maybelline Lip Smackers. ;)

Should make up lines be targetting young girls? I ish I had access to this when I was younger, but is it right?
