Lip Gloss -MAC - Malibu Barbie Lipglass
EmbalmerBabe 2/15/2007 2:05:00 PM
I am contemplating a back up on this one, it such a pretty bright pink with a nice shimmer to it. This is very similar to Sweetie Cake lipglass and Standing Ovation lipglass from the Danse collection. If you all ready have one of those I would pass on this because they are far too close.You can view swatches of the three colors at Specktra for visual proof. This is beautiful over Rocking Chick or Real Doll.

Lipstick -MAC - Rocking Chick Barbie Collection
EmbalmerBabe 2/14/2007 10:44:00 PM
I bought two! I don't have any other colors like this. It's such a hot fuschia lipstick with a beautiful pearly finish. Reminds me of the 80's. Looks AMAZING with either Malibu Barbie lipglass or Sweetness lipglass with Cranapple liner. I am pretty sure this is what the Barbie Loves Mac models are wearing.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Barbie-Beautyburst
EmbalmerBabe 2/14/2007 10:41:00 PM
This looked too harsh on my eyelids,I kept the other five Barbie shadows which seemed to work way better on me. The MA paired it with Magic Dust. It just looked too stark and rusty.It did not blend very well and looked out of order on my face. This reminds me of the color of rust on an old metal chair that has been sitting in the rain for a decade. I will probably get Swiss Chocolate instead which is similar minus the reddness.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Sweetness Lipglass from Barbie Collection
EmbalmerBabe 2/14/2007 10:34:00 PM
This is a pretty basic lipgloss that complements the Barbie lipsticks wonderfully. It is pretty much clear with tiny micro shimmers adding a touch of pink. Not anything really special just your basic shimmery clear gloss with a touch of pink. It complemented Rocking Chick and Real Doll so wonderfully I had to get it.

Eyeliner -MAC - Liquidlast Liner- Visionaire from Barbie Collection
EmbalmerBabe 2/13/2007 10:31:00 PM
Wow I love this and you will too if you like pink eyeliner! This is a GORGEOUS frosty baby pink. The only thing I don't like about these is the brush it comes with is useless use a separate brush from MAC to apply it. These are kinda expensive at 17.00 bucks a pop but this one is worth it. Go Barbie Loves Mac collection!

Highlighters -Urban Decay - Heavy Metal Glitter Eye Gel Power Ballad
EmbalmerBabe 2/11/2007 3:05:00 PM
This stuff is awesome. It is expensive but awesome! I think it retails for allmost 19.00 with tax. Power Ballad is a beautiful white glitter that flashes sea foam green,lavender,and powder blue. The glitter is fine and does not irritate the eyelids or cheeks. It is PACKED with glitter to the max you get a lot of bang for your buck. I am convinced Urban Decay makes the very BEST glitter eyeliners,and glitter gels. This is the best glitter gel I have ever tried. I would not buy this again because it was an extravagance that I really don't need and one tube will last quite a while.

Cleansers -MAC - Cremewash
EmbalmerBabe 2/11/2007 12:07:00 AM
Well the packaging quality sucks right when I got this home the cap was cracked and broken because the plastic looks very cheap and not sturdy at all. Other than that this SMELLS LOVELY, a light scent not too overpowering. Also you only need a TINY bit because this foams up like crazy. Very detergent based. This will surely get all your makeup off. Make sure you use a toner after this because it seems like one of those cleansers that might leave a little residue on your skin.

Lips -Revlon - Sugar Sugar Lip Topping Pixie Plum
EmbalmerBabe 2/9/2007 7:42:00 PM
I just had to try this because it looked so COOL on Revlon.com and my Ulta had it totally stocked up. I could not decide between this shade or Lemon Drop. Now I wish I would have got Lemon Drop, because this one does not have a hint of plum at all and is very boring. It is simply finely crushed, metallic, crystalline silver colored flakes.The jar is cute and rather petite,with a plastic wand that dips in to apply it to your lips. It is supposed to give an uber sparkly appearance.Here is the Revlon.com description: Get sweet! Sugary, iridescent pearl powder topcoat decorates lips with a crystal-cut faceted effect. Innovative applicator dabs on the perfect amount of lip topping. Available in 5 candy-like colors. I am not impressed for the 15.00 dollars I spent on this. I am thinking of returning it.

Eyeliner -Urban Decay - 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Dime
EmbalmerBabe 2/1/2007 7:17:00 PM
I LOVE UD 24/7 eyeliners, they are nothing short of FANTASTIC. They truly are a wonderful product. I all ready have six different colors. Dime is a new shade I just had to have, it is just as the description states: VERY METALLIC SILVER. It is so beautiful and vivid like all of the other 24/7's I have tried. A true,pure metallic silver. Just like a brand new,hot off the mint sparkling,shiny dime. The name is perfectly suited. Glides on smooth as silk with no tugging or struggling.Lasts for ages especially if prepped with a tiny bit of UD Primer Potion first. I will be crushed it UD ever discontinues these pencils. Truly the best pencil eyeliners,or eyeliner period I have ever tried along with MAC Fluidline.A+

Lip Liners -MAC - MAC cremestick pearl liner in Naked Rose
EmbalmerBabe 1/26/2007 1:37:00 PM
I marked I would not buy again because one lipliner will take me a long time to finish. I went to check out Chrome and Cream the chromeglass and creamstick pearl liner release. Metalphysical paired with this is BEAUTIFUL! Soft and silky application, a beautiful shimmery rosey,with a hint of plum shade.

Cleansers -MAC - Cleanse Off Oil
EmbalmerBabe 12/31/2006 1:18:00 AM
I just got this with the brand new skincare launch,never tried the old formula. I got talked into this over Creamwash,and now I wish I would have gotten that. With the cleanse off oil I feel as though I have to use many pumps to get any product on my face to dissolve the makeup. I'll keep trying it out maybe I will have a difference of opinion later. No skin problems yet despite my oily/acne prone skin. The scent reminds me of a baked good,a sweet lemon bread or something,very faint though. After you squirt it in your hand it turns milky.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Pastorale from Danse
EmbalmerBabe 12/29/2006 7:16:00 PM
I would not purchase again because how could I ever finish a full jar? This is a beautiful color. It's a sagey light green with a hint of gold, and fine micro silver sparkles.The only problem I have with this is that the silver micro sparkles migrate all over my face with a concentration in the undereye area. I need to figure out a way to prevent that and then it would be fine.Applies very smoothly,such a nice quality with brilliant pigmentation and a silky feel. I am pairing it with Greensmoke e/s right now.MAC pigments are worth 20+ a pop....I just wish they sold smaller sizes because using a full jar is impossible for me.

Blush -MAC - Mineralize Skinfinish - Glissade
EmbalmerBabe 12/29/2006 6:00:00 PM
I would not buy again,one lasts forever. I had to have this an Lightscapade, I have not had a chance to wear that one yet. Glissade gives me a SHIMMERY (emphasis on the shimmery) peachy sheen with a touch of pinkness. It's quite shimmery,I have to use a light touch or I look like I stepped out of an industrial strength blush-buffer booth. Mine has a minimal to moderate muted metallic plum veining, some of the Glissades have none or hardly any veining. I was hoping for more of a peach-plum with this. =/ Eh oh well a nice edition to my MSF collection that now contains four MSF's...=)

Lipstick -MAC - Classical
EmbalmerBabe 12/29/2006 5:50:00 PM
Love this,the only lipstick I got from Danse. I did not get it the first time,then I saw a picture of someone wearing it and I was sold. To me this is a very unique color of lipstick I have not seen before. It's a very light, sheer, baby pink. It just gives your lips a light wash of soft pinkness.Kind of mod, 60's like. I heard it is great with Pas-de-deux lipglass from Danse. It looks like your lips with just a tiny bit of soft pink. Very natural looking.Sexy with a smokey eye, and Pastorale pigment.
