Fun, cute, good value
Color: Pink
I got these for the toddler, who is living her best life as a princess. She is allowed to wear these for dress up and she absolutely adores them. I apply them to the apples of her cheeks, on the tip of her nose, and on her arms and ankles like fancy bracelets. At this rate, they won't last long, and because they are used for play, I end up pulling them off the rugs and upholstery for days afterward. It's like a game for mom! They are lovely and fun and she absolutely adores them. The only downstar is for the adhesive quality. Now, this might be just me because I received them during a severe winter storm and they stayed in the mailbox for several days of below zero weather, but the sticky backing peels off quite easily from many of them. It's easy enough to fix with the tweezers that are supplied, but you might want to pay attention to that detail. At bath time, I am finding many pieces of the tape no longer attached to a jewel. I don't know if my bunch were damaged because of the cold, but if you're planning to go to the club, I would bring extras. If you're using them for playtime, just beware that you might find them in all kinds of unexpected places. They definitely won't hold up to bath time, so take them off first, to avoid clogging up the plumbing.

Emerald Glow: The Ultimate Festival Essential
Color: Green, Color: Green
​I recently picked up these Green Face Gems for a festival, and I have to say, they are an absolute standout for anyone looking to level up their makeup game. The variety of shades in this pack is stunning; you get everything from a vibrant, electric lime to a deep, moody forest green that catches the light beautifully. Unlike some stickers that look flat or plastic, these have a high-quality multifaceted cut that mimics real emeralds, giving off a brilliant sparkle whether you’re under the sun or shifting strobe lights at a rave. ​The self-adhesive backing is surprisingly reliable. I was worried about them sliding off halfway through a humid outdoor concert, but they stayed firmly in place through hours of movement. Despite the strong grip, they didn't pull at my skin or leave a sticky residue when it was time to take them off. I also experimented with placing them in my hair—which looked incredible—and they held onto the strands much better than I anticipated. If you’re planning a themed look or just want to add a sophisticated pop of color to your eyes, these gems are a total win. They are easy to apply, comfortable to wear, and genuinely look like professional-grade body art. ​

Beautiful gems! However…
Color: Gold
Had to dock 2 stars because the tweezers are too flimsy to actually assist with applying the gems, which sucks because that was a huge selling point for me. Additionally, the glue sticks a little too well to the paper. Many gems detached from the adhesive, which made them useless if the objective is to apply the gems to your face. Still had to award a few stars because the ones that did manage to successfully pull from the paper without coming apart, stayed on my face for about 3-4 hours outside in the sweaty heat. I anticipated to lose a few but they survived and that impressed me!

Great face gems!
Color: Pink
I’ve been really happy with these pink face gems and self-adhesive hair jewels. The designs are super cute and sparkly, with hearts and stars that add a fun, festive touch to Valentine’s Day makeup, festivals, raves, or any playful look. They’re easy to use since they are self-adhesive, so there’s no extra glue needed and they go on smoothly without fuss. The gems stick well and stay in place through movement, dancing, or photos, and they feel comfortable on the skin and in the hair without itching or irritation. The pink shades are bright and eye-catching, making them perfect for girls and women who want a bit of bling. For the quality, sparkle, and fun factor, these rhinestone stickers offer excellent value for the money. If you’re looking for a quick way to elevate your makeup or costume with glittery accents, these jewels are a great choice.

Very comfortable. Good stickiness.
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
These face/body gems are decent quality. It comes with a generous amount of gems - 3 sheets of gems in various sizes. A couple of the gems arrived with defects - the gold paint had flaked off some parts to show black underneath. Most of the gems were in good condition though. These are very lightweight and comfortable to wear. I forgot I had them on at one point and was reminded when I looked in the mirror. The adhesive did not irritate my skin at all and I wore them for a few hours. I was also able to reposition the gems several times without them loosing their staying power. I had to be careful when removing the gems from the plastic sheet because sometimes the adhesive dot would stay stuck to the plastic sheet and the gem would come off without any adhesive attached. I was able to put it back down and get it to re-stick to the adhesive and then carefully remove them together in order to apply it on my skin. Overall I'd say these are worth the purchase.
