Polishes -Sally Hansen - Insta-Dri in Lightening
steffmd25 6/16/2009 5:10:00 PM
This product is just awful. I wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing. I only bought the polish for the color. Which is a beautiful matte yellow. The brush is a big 'ole piece of crap. Very hard to apply and dries so quick that the coat looks so uneven. I only used it on my toes, b/c you can't see them up close. I tried to use it for my nails too, but it looked a hot MESS. I had to grab the Polish remover asap! I am so disappointed, b/c I wanted to be in on the trend of matte yellow polish. Don't waste your money on this one. If I still had my receipt, I would return this, ASAP.

This is a great product for a buck. Pretty colors; however, they don't appear as bright as they do in the pan.

Eye Shadow -L.A. Colors - 6 color Metallic Eyeshadow in Cafe Au Lait
steffmd25 6/16/2009 3:51:00 PM
Excellent product! Great pigmentation. Nice texture. Very cute, and can come up with multiple looks using this palette! Worth the $1.00 I paid for it. Blends well together. All the colors are great, except for the first, it's very chalky.

Excellent product! Great pigmentation. The texture is very similar to Mac's Veluxe Pearl Eyeshadow's textures. Very cute, and can come up with multiple looks using this palette! Worth the $1.50 I paid for it. Blends well together. Very shimmery!

Eye Shadow -L.A. Colors - Supernatural 12 Eyeshadow
steffmd25 6/16/2009 3:28:00 PM
Nice product for $1. Pretty blues, alot of them are close to being the same color. This are extremely pigmented, and they last all day when I use a base. Great for traveling. The only flaw is they are somewhat chalky, but overall a good product.

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Clear
steffmd25 6/16/2009 3:00:00 PM
I am very pleased with this product. I was checking out the Beauty aisle at my grocery store, and Maybelline eye products were BOGO free, plus they had $1 coupons out on display, so I decided to give this product a try since I would be paying next to nothing for it. I am very pleased with it. I strictly use it for my brows, and it gets the job done.

Eye Shadow -L.A. Colors - 12 palette e/s in traditional
steffmd25 6/16/2009
This is an excellent product. I would have never thought to purchase a cheapie, dollar store makeup palette if it wasn't for Youtuber's raving about them. So I bought a couple of different L.A. Colors palette. Most of the colors are pretty good quality. Some of them are somewhat chalky. But for a buck, you really can't complain. This is great for traveling, or if you like to do neutral looks. These palettes get neglected, so I did a look with them the other day. I was really impressed with how comparible it looked to a highend look. The reason I wouldn't buy this palette again is because imo I have too much makeup, and probably won't use this palette up completely.

Eye Shadow -NYX - Trio 10 - Tropical - Yellow - Lime Green
steffmd25 6/11/2009 10:35:00 PM
This was the first NYX products I have ever purchased. I got it at a Fragance Outlet for $9.95, yep, they were wrong for that one! The tropical and lime green color are descent. That yellow is horrible. The worst yellow ever, NYX, you guys are wrong for that crap! Very chalky and sheer. Doesn't show up at all! I don't like the packaging because they are slightly hard to open. I depotted these and placed them in a palette. I should have thrown the yellow away. LOL

Eye Shadow -MAC - AMBER LIGHTS
steffmd25 6/11/2009 10:26:00 PM
I have several MAC eyeshadows, and I have to say this is my favorite! Great dark gold, bronzy color. It looks great on my skintone! I like to pair this with goldmine, or just use it as a lid color. I love this color so much :). If you haven't purchased a MAC e/s, this would be a great one to start with. NYX has a great dupe for the color, I have it, but depotted it, so don't remember the name, maybe Golden Bronze??? Something like that.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Dreammaker
steffmd25 6/11/2009 10:20:00 PM
Great product! I got this awhile back at my CCO because it was LE from the Starflash collection. It looks good as a highlight or even an all over lid color on my NC44 skin color. They still have this color at my CCO, even though I heard they are bringing it back in one of the upcoming collections. Nice pale goldish-yellowish-creamy color. I won't be repurchasing this because I have tons left, and I just have way too many highlight colors.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Goldmine Eyeshadow
steffmd25 6/11/2009 10:12:00 PM
I have had this beautiful gold color for a long time. It looks absolutely great on my skin tone, NC44. I think it is the best gold eyeshadow I have. It looks so pretty with Mac's Amber Lights. I get tons of compliments when I pair those two together.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Shroom
steffmd25 6/11/2009 10:00:00 PM
Wow!! Shroom, sweet memories, LOL. I think this was my very first MAC eyeshadow, back in the day in college, LOL. I think I had about 2 of those, and went through them both, so you know I was using it very often. Great highlight color, or all over lid color. Super great for African American skintones, I am about an NC44, looks great on me. I haven't repurchased as of yet, because I got so much into color, and I have a ton of highlight colors, just got Femme Fi from the CCO, plus too many more :)

Lotions/ Creams -Bath and Body Works - true blue spa shea it isn't so foot cream
steffmd25 6/11/2009 9:50:00 PM
This product is great! I have used it in the past, and I just repurchased again today since they had all True Blue Spa on sale for Buy 2 Get 2 Free, plus I had a 10 buck coupon. This lotion is so thick! IMO it's best to use after shower, before going to bed. I love this stuff. It is VERY thick. But in this situation, that is a good thing!
