I bought it when I went to mikva friday night, and had a simcha shabbat day. I bought Reflections - Sylvia Hamowy 718-338-5884. She worked with Rabbi Blumenkrantz OBM on all of her formulations. I think they may also be available at some pharmacies, like Lane's in BP.

It served the purpose of having makeup on the next morning, even though I had gone to the mikva. But I don't feel made-up enough to justify using it any other shabbat. It's also expensive, especially since you need separate brushes for everything to avoid mixing any colors on shabbat. I thought I'd use it more on regular shabbat, but my leftover makeup looks better than the shabbat stuff. I have used it a few times since after friday night tevilla, and dh likes when I have makeup. But for a regular shabbat I don't use it.
