Blush -MAC - Overdyed Blush (Jeanius Collection)
Shimmering_pink 4/21/2011 12:12:00 AM
This is what i wanted full fuchsia to be!!! It is a beautiful pink. After purchasing many bright pinks, my search is finally over. Full fuchsia is definitely a lot more red. I think I would call this color magenta, rather than fuchsia? It matches my madly magenta cream colour base perfectly. It is the perfect bright pink with a hint of purple. You only need a little bit because it is really pigmented, so this will last a long time. It is LE, which is too bad. If you come across this and want a bright pink cheek, get it! Looks sooo good with show orchid lipstick!

Blush -MAC - Satin Blush - Well Dressed
Shimmering_pink 4/21/2011 12:10:00 AM
This is a great everyday blush. It gives the prettiest light pink sheen to your cheeks. i do wish it was a little more pigmented, 1 lippy off as even though my skin is quite fair, i do need to layer it quite a bit to get it to how i want it. Goes great with pink lips! It's really pretty and i think intended for just a slight color!

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre in High Tea
Shimmering_pink 4/21/2011 12:03:00 AM
This is a great lipstick for everyday. It's also great if you have dramatic eyes because it is just a slight shimmer. It isn't too frosty at all, it just adds a really nice sheen to your lips. Feels moisturizing to me also. Not sure how the wear is, i don't really keep track of how long my lipstick stays on. It would look great with any neutral lipgloss on top!

Polishes -China Glaze - Refresh-Mint
Shimmering_pink 4/20/2011 11:56:00 PM
I looove mint green nails. This is the perfect mint green too, great for spring and summer..but i will wear this anytime of the year. It applies evenly, only thing is there were a few bubbles. Which is odd because I noticed bubbles in my Minted by revlon polish too and never in any other polish, so maybe it has something to do with an ingredient in mint green polishes? Anyways, it wasn't that big of a deal. The bubbles were really not that noticeable and only on a few nails.

LOVE this color. Year round, it looks great. A little bit brighter than a navy blue but it just looks so perfect on the nails. Been using this one a lot!

Lip Liners -NYX - Slim Lip Pencil - Orange 824
Shimmering_pink 4/20/2011 11:52:00 PM
I love this orange. I will be wearing this a lot this summer. I have many coral and orange lipsticks and glosses and it looks great paired with all of them! Hot trend for the summer and this is an inexpensive way to get orange lips. Could almost be worn alone!

Polishes -Essie - Sand Tropez
Shimmering_pink 4/20/2011 11:50:00 PM
This is my favorite nude I have tried so far. It isn't exactly nude though, more of a darker beige. It looks great with anything as it is very neutral and i've already painted my nails with it twice after only having it for a month! Pick this one up while you still can!

Blush -NARS - Sin
Shimmering_pink 4/20/2011 11:49:00 PM
I loved this blush in the fall and winter months! It was great with a berry lip color or purples eyes. I don't know if I will use it as much in the summer, just because it is more of a plum and I like to use brighter colors in the summer. It is a very pretty blush though and i think would look good on a variety of skin tones. It can be used as a light flush or built up for a darker cheek. Overall, if you are looking for a nice berry cheek color I recommend this!

Mascara -Maybelline - Volum' Express The Falsies
Shimmering_pink 4/20/2011 11:46:00 PM
This mascara is my favorite. Use it everyday. I heard all the rave about lashblast and HATEd it. And when they discontinued my favorite maybelline mascara which was the intense XXL, i needed to find a new one. This is it. It really makes me look like I have fake lashes, but it doesn't look fake. I have long and pretty thick lashes as it is, but this lengthens and volumizes better than ANY mascara I've ever used. It is quite a wet mascara, but i hate ones that are dry. I like the types of mascaras that are super volumizing and lengthening, and not so much defining ones which i feel lashblast is. So if you want tons of volume and length, get this. If you love mascara's like lashblast..you may hate this!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Patina (Frost)
Shimmering_pink 4/20/2011 11:43:00 PM
One of my favorite mac eyeshadows. Looks great all over the lid, and is not too dark for everyday in my opinion. It has the nicest golden sheen that is very slight. Love!

Lipstick -MAC - Viva Glam Gaga
Shimmering_pink 11/14/2010 6:35:00 PM
I think this looks better on fair complexions. I tried to wear it when I was tanned in the summer and it was too bright, but when i'm fair it looks great. I usually just do a sheer layer since it is pretty pigmented for a lustre. It leaves a nice semi-glossy finish so a gloss is not needed on top, but I like to tone it down with one sometimes such as nars turkish delight or mac oyster girl. It looks good with mac's gaga lipglass on top too when you want a brighter pink! Goes to a great cause, i probably would purchase again since it is different that other bright pinks I own,but it isn't my favorite.

Polishes -China Glaze - Ingrid
Shimmering_pink 11/14/2010 6:32:00 PM
Perfect for fall! Tried fairly quick compared to some other CG polishes i own. It's a beautiful brown with very subtle shimmer. I almost see a greyish tone in some lights. It is just the brown color I was looking for so I am happy. 2 coats and it's perfect..has lasted 4 days with a top coat and without chipping so far.

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Naked Matte shadow
Shimmering_pink 10/25/2010 10:17:00 PM
I don't use mattes that often but I got this in the naked palette and have been using it quite a bit. I like to use it all over the lid with buck(another matte in the palette) in the crease or a shimmery brown. It's a great all over the lid shade by itself also if you just want a nice slight but noticeable wash of color. Also could work as a highlight with more shimmery or dramatic looks. It is not chalky either and fairly pigmented, basically a skin tone color depending how dark or light you are.

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Naked Palette
Shimmering_pink 10/25/2010 10:14:00 PM
Just when I thought urban decay couldn't get any better. I was lucky to snag one of these while on a shopping trip(i don't have a sephora where i live) They were just putting them out and of course the next day I went back to sephora and they were gone already so i was very glad i was there at the right time. I will not be buying neutral shades for awhile because this has basically every shade you could need. Shimmers, mattes, highlights, all over the lid colors, crease colors, liner colors..and not too much glitter which is a plus (only 2 shadows have noticeable glitter i believe) I'm going on a vacation in a december and plan on only taking this for eyeshadow, great for travel. Can easy go from day to night with this palette. I think this palette could be suitable to any occasion. love it and i hope all you that haven't gotten it yet get a chance to because it is definitely worth it. I would choose this over the book of shadows 3 (which i also have) any day. Pretty packaging to top it all off plus they are all FULL sized shadow. Brown and black liner are great of course also.

PERFECT purple for fall. Not too dark so that it looks black, you can definitely tell it it purple but it does have a dark base. Beautiful shimmer and the staying power if pretty good for a dark polish with a top coat anyways. I will be wearing this plenty during the fall.
