Liquid -Cover Girl - CG Smoothers All Day Hydrating Makeup
SimpleNSexy 6/11/2011 1:00:00 AM
Just think of this as cheap tinted moisturizer :) Price: almost $9 CDN Pkg: translucent squeeze tube Coverage: sheer to light-medium Finish: natural matte The colours appear slightly darker&pinker inside the bottle. When I tried it on at home, I noticed I should have gone a shade or 2 darker. It goes on sheer but if u layer on u can get up to light/medium coverage. It tones down redness but doesn't completely get rid of it. Bottom line is, I like this makeup&would recommend this to ppl w/ slightly dry to oily skin.

Blush -Stila - Convertible Color Lillium
SimpleNSexy 6/9/2011 1:42:00 AM
Since I have oily skin I wasn't sure how creme blush would work on me. But it turned out better than I expected Price: it was in a pkg of $12 USD Pkg: cute salmon pink compact w/mirror Colour: cool medium pink w/hint of coral I put it UNDER my fdn to get the "lit from within" glow (tip from InStyle). Then I put on my Maybelline MP and NYX Blush in 'Dusty Rose'. Ta-da! A beautifully natural flush a la moi! Def rec for fair- to medium-skinned girls

Polishes -Chanel - Le Vernis Nail Color
SimpleNSexy 5/24/2011 1:58:00 AM
One&only high-end nail polish I own. I thinnk I got in in an airport duty-free store but that's irrelevant. Love the colour black Satin 219, love the pigmentation&love the cute, sleek rectangular design of the bottle <3 Altho, invest in good top coat since it peels easily. That's the only the down side

Powder -Maybelline - Mineral Power Powder Foundation
SimpleNSexy 5/21/2011 8:48:00 PM
I'm a powder fdn person all the way. I wanted to try MMU so I tried this Coverage: medium Finish: natural matte Price: $14.53 CDN Colour: Nude (Light 4) is beige w/yellow undertone Texture: blends easily Don't: -bother w/the brush in pkg. -go by shades on website cuz it runs 2-4 shades darker than other Maybelline fdns. I'm very careful when I venture into diff fdns cuz I have acne prone/oily/sensitive skin(=worst combo). This stays matte for 3-4h before I need to touch up. So far it hasn't broken me out. It's worth it if u want to try MMU but on a budget

Mascara -Maybelline - XXL PRO Extensions
SimpleNSexy 5/7/2011 11:02:00 AM
I love the mascara but I don't LOVE it yet. I always splurge on mascara and I was in the mood to buy a new one. Before this, I never tried 2-step mascara. I bought it in Very Black w/p. Like the majority of other reviewers I wasn't so sure about the white primer. Sure, it built some volume&lots of length but it's WHITE for crying out loud! I put on 2 coats of the actual mascara&voila! Really long&lush lashes w/ minimal clumping. Altho I could see some white flecks on the lashes on my right eye. Summary: it's a great lengthening mascara w/ some volume.

Hair Color -Clairol - Nice n' Easy -new formula
SimpleNSexy 4/23/2011 2:24:00 AM
I have naturally soft black hair but it was ginger from my previous (bad/stupid) colouring job. I used Natural Dark Golden Brown 120A. I wasn't expecting my hair to be the exact shade shown on the box, I just didn't expect it to turn near-black. I freaked out after I rinsed my hair out cuz it looked plain BLACK w/ no hint of brown whatsoever. Thankfully, it lightened to a dark, dark brown as it dried. I liked that one bottle was enough to cover my thick long hair. The squeeze bottle was easy to use too. The formula didn't drip a lot (always a plus). Right now, my hair looks golden brownish only in the sun. I wish it was a lighter colour but oh well. Laisse etre *UPDATE* The colour faded into a medium golden brown. It looks light brown in the sun but not GINGER(thank goodness!)

Lipstick -Cover Girl - Lip Perfection
SimpleNSexy 3/25/2011 10:09:00 PM
Just wanted to try a lipstick for the first time in a while and I'd heard good reviews. Price: around $9 CDN Pkg: square tube, twists up&down easily Texture: super creamy Colour: Impassion 215- shimmery dark coral Coverage: medium to full It stays on my lips until I eat something. And the colour doesn't fade, nothing noticeable anyway. Doesn't feather on me either. I prefer this over Maybelline Color Sensational

Eye Primer -Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Sin
SimpleNSexy 3/24/2011 1:31:00 AM
I got this last summer and still have some of it left. it's a great primer for non-matte shades Price: $20 USD so not gonna repurchase in BC Pkg: a typical concealer bottle cept doesn't let much product out Texture: creamy, blends well long as u don't apply a thick layer Colour: shimmery champagne paler than my skintone It really prevents powder shadows from creasing&brightens the shadow! My bronzy gold eyeshadow (my everyday colour) looks so vibrant with this underneath when I take the extra step for special occasions. Def rec to everyone. I'm so buying the new squeeze tube the next time I go to the States

Eye Shadow -Cover Girl - Smoky ShadowBlast
SimpleNSexy 3/24/2011 1:26:00 AM
I had high hopes for this from the TV ads. My hopes crashed pretty hard :( I bought Silver Sky 805, Purple Plume 815&Bronze Fire 820. My first attempt was Silver Sky. I loved the shimmeriness&high high pigmentation. One of the customers once complimented on it :) but as w/ all cream shadows, it creased within 2h. The colour stayed tho. Next up were Purple Plume&Bronze Fire since Silver Sky wasn't much of daytime material. BF made my deep brown eyes brighter a little as did PP. I liked BF the best. 2 lippies cuz of creasing&for breaking after a month or so. At $9ish CDN, not worth the money

Styling Products -TRESemme - Instant Heat Tamer Spray
SimpleNSexy 3/23/2011 10:06:00 PM
A true jem! I straighten my hair on a daily basis cuz it flips out like crazy overnight. Before using this my hair frizzed out and sometimes smelled burnt :( This really protects my hair from the heat and sorta acts as a straightening agent too. My hair is so soft&shIny when I us it! It smells soft&fresh which I luv in a hair product.

One of the best lip gloss in d/s!!! I had this in pale coral red (can't remember what's it called from off the top of my head) and it glided on so creamy. The pigmentation&glitters are just fantastic Will buy this again once I save up (band trip to Banff)
