Liquid -Sonia Kashuk - Perfecting Luminous
MrsTefee 9/25/2011 12:07:00 AM
***EDIT** Sadly I had to drop it down a couple lippies because I figured this foundation began to break me out after using it for a while.. I dont wear it that much anymore for that reason. ***** This is a very nice foundation. For reference Im a NC5-NC15 range in mac and I bought this in the lightest shade bisque and its perfect (as long as I dont cake it on of course). This foundation has a very nice dewy finish and looks best with a small amount of setting powder. Its also mostly yellow based as well which is what I love because most drugstore foundations are always so orange and pink based blah. This has a nice fragrance to it. Kind of like sugary fruit and it smells nice, the fragrance goes away once you apply the makeup. I will keep buying this for sure! *EDIT* Forgot to mention that this isnt very good for full coverage if thats what you are looking for.. id say this is very light-medium range.

Eyes -E.L.F. - Eyeliner & Shadow Stick
MrsTefee 9/23/2011 5:29:00 AM
I dont know why this gets such bad reviews because I LOVE this product. The eyeliner/shadows are very creamy and easy to put on. I bought this in pearl glow and its amazing with my bright blue eyes. I never use the shadow for an all over shadow though because its pretty thick and would feel weird. I use the shadow part as eyeliner ontop and in the inner corner and the liner part on my bottom lashes/waterline area. I dont recommend these for eyeshadow all over your lid but for eyeliners/brighteners its awesome!

Cleansers -Clinique - Comforting Cream Cleanser
MrsTefee 9/16/2011 12:42:00 AM
I just love this cleanser! Very creamy, but not too thick. Its soothing and contains no fragrance or oil. I mostly keep it for use in the shower because I use cetephil to cleanse my face otherwise so I switch between the two. Very good for sensitive and acne prone skin!!!

Liquid -Clinique - Perfectly Real Makeup
MrsTefee 9/16/2011 12:14:00 AM
I ordered this online and I was so excited about it but once I got it and tried it on I was so disappointed! It is an OK foundation...its nothing special at all, it isnt drying or greasy or anything but what was most disappointing is that it was a horrible color... I bought the lightest shade and its VERY PINK and still very dark (im NC5-15). Im so disappointed, Ive noticed that all the foundations for clinique are so pink toned and the shades are all so medium toned as well... if you are very pale or yellowed toned (or both) stay away from clinique...

Lotions/ Creams -Victoria's Secret - Amber Romance Body Lotion
MrsTefee 9/14/2011 4:52:00 AM
I have always LOVED this scent..... I really like vanilla lace as well but its too foody and my husband isnt a big vanilla fan.. I like amber romance because its a soft amber, with a tiny hint of vanillaish so its perfect for me and my husband likes it too : ))) It also lasts a long time, all day long!

Powder -Revlon - ColorStay Aqua Mineral Makeup
MrsTefee 9/11/2011 10:36:00 PM
There are a few good things that I like about this powder but there are just as many bad things about it too which makes it frustrating.... The first thing I noticed about this is its extremely shimmery VERY shimmery I have no idea why all of the revlon makeup always has to have so much damn shimmer in it?? Whats the point? Who wants that all over your face??!?! Well anyways, I like the packaging and the brush is pretty nice too, the powder IS mineral so thats a plus. No fragrance, doesnt clog pores. But since it has shimmer in it I cant use it like a foundation which is what I wanted... so I will just be using it over top my other makeup as a highlighter for now... revlon needs to stop putting glitter in their makeup its kind of ridiculous. This would be a five without glitter. Oh well!

Pressed Powders -Cover Girl - Clean pressed powder - Sensitive skin
MrsTefee 8/17/2011 11:45:00 PM
This product was terrible. The only thing good about it was that I managed to find a shade that matched my extremely pale skin which for some reason happened to be "creamy natural" which is weird because usually thats pretty dark. I find that covergirls skin tones dont really make any sense at all but anyways... The powder is not very fine and its extremely hard to get out of the compact like its pressed so much into the compact you cant get any out and I just found it to be useless... given it was only six dollars I will still take it back to the store just for the point of it being so bad!

Crème -Revlon - PhotoReady Compact Makeup
MrsTefee 8/16/2011 6:57:00 PM
I really wish this product would have worked for me... but it didnt! Im pretty sure I am done trying revlon's makeup because they just do not make light enough shades for me and they are TOO PINK!!! I tried this in "vanilla" because it was the only one light enough with a yellow undertone for me to wear and Im STILL too pale for it! It has pretty much FULL coverage but this foundation is definitely NOT for dry skin. It will instantly accentuate any dry patches at all and it looks terrible! I also think that revlon prices their products way to high for a drugstore brand (in the 14-16 dollar range). I also noticed that this product has glitter in it just like the liquid version. I cant wear either of them because of this because I guess since im so pale you can see the glitter on me really really easily (they are goldish colored) So it might not be noticeable on anyone with a bit darker skin tone than me. I will not be purchasing this one again.

Tinted Moisturizer -Victoria's Secret - Tinted moisturizer
MrsTefee 8/11/2011 9:51:00 PM
I really wanted to like this product but the color selection is EXTREMELY frustrating. They sold a foundation called "soft focus liquid foundation with spf 20" that had the perfect color match for me (light 10). Since they discontinued that product I decided to try out the tinted moisturizer but the color selection for this stuff is horrible... the two lightest shades are almost the same but not nearly as light as the old foundation had. This tinted moisturizer also oxidized to a really orangey state on me which is NOT good because I have a yellow undertone so there is no way. Im really disappointed in this product. I hope that either they bring back the old foundation or they will make the color selection for this stuff better because otherwise its a good tinted moisturizer.

Liquid -Victoria's Secret - Soft Focus Liquid Foundation SPF 20 [DISCONTINUED]
MrsTefee 8/10/2011 10:47:00 PM
Oh I do love this foundation! Its so creamy and the shade "light 10" is perfect for my extremely pale -but yellow- toned skin! Its not greasy, it sets perfect with a powder and it stays on all day and doesnt clog or sink into my pores. I went to the victoria's secret store in the local mall last week to buy more but then I find out that ITS DISCONTINUED!!! im SO MAD! This is the only foundation I have liked in YEARS and im so mad that they discontinued this! All they have now is the tinted moisturizer which i do NOT like and the tinted moisturizer is WAY worse than the soft focus foundatoin with spf WHY would they discontinue this?!?!?!?!?!?! PLEASE VICTORIA'S SECRET BRING THIS FOUNDATION BACK!!! : (((((((

Moisturizers -Clinique - Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
MrsTefee 6/14/2011 6:25:00 AM
I dont really think I like this lotion anymore... It worked real well for the first couple weeks and Ive had it probably a couple months now (trying to use it up) but I just dont think its the right type of lotion for my skin... my skin doesnt "glow" or anything, this lotion actually makes my skin feel dull... and Im pretty sure its what is breaking me out since Ive stopped wearing foundation and only started using mineral face powder (which I know wont break me out) and Im still developing clogged pores and acne.. Oh well : ( I tried... I will use it up since it was pretty expensive for such a little amount and I will buy something that Ive used before in the past that worked. Im just going to throw it in my purse to use as hand lotion until its all gone.

Cleansers -St. Ives - Make-up Remover & Facial Cleanser with soothing chamomile
MrsTefee 6/14/2011 12:08:00 AM
I really wanted to like this because I love the creamy texture it has. It also has a very pleasant smell although the ingredients list says theres no fragrance, I think its the chamomile in it. Im pretty sure this product clogged my pores really bad and made my skin feel really rough and flaky after about a week and my acne got worse so I had to stop using it. I will probably just throw it out since it was so cheap anyways and I dont have to feel obliged to use it up.
