Lipstick -MAC - Lustre in Jubilee
abrad1967 5/7/2009 12:30:00 AM
This is a peach/brown color. Although it's a gorgeous color, it's a bit too brown and sheer for my liking. Great color but just not on me.

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre Lipstick - Pretty Please

This is too frosted pink for my complexion (dark olive). Kinda reminds me of a barbie doll pink. Does not look flattering on me. Will not repurchase.

Lipstick -MAC - Blankety
abrad1967 5/7/2009 12:21:00 AM
This color looks too purple on my dark olive complexion. It kinda washes me out. Love the texture and it's moisurizing but not loving the color. Will not repurchase. Update: I'm changing my review because my skin tone is almost back to its normal shade. When I purchased Blankety, I was four shades darker due to travel. Blankety now looks lovely because I'm much lighter. It now looks a creamy nude lilac on me. I don't think this color works with dark complexions but will work well on medium to light complexions. Will repurchase again.

Lipstick -MAC - Hotscotch (amplified)
abrad1967 5/7/2009 12:10:00 AM
I've had this lipstick for awhile and discovered that this lipstick has been discontinued. Since I'm not working, I'm getting around to writing my reviews. Anyway, this is a beautiful deeper coral color - very moisturizing and looked great on my dark olive skin tone. I don't wear this color often because I prefer nude colors but wanted to add a warm red/color to my collection. It's too bad it's been discontinued since it is a gorgeous color.

Lipstick -MAC - Cremesheen - Creme d'Nude

Another Mac lipstick I love! It's a nude frost peachy/beige. It looks awesome over Cherish. It's creamy but it does tend to dry my lips but will continue to repurchase because the color is so fabulous!

Lipstick -MAC - Cremesheen- Modesty

This is a cool pink/mauve color. It's creamy and moisturizing. Although it's a gorgeous color, it doesn't look that flattering on my dark olive skin. I think this color would look great on lighter complexions.

Lipstick -MAC - Cherish Lipstick
abrad1967 5/6/2009 11:30:00 PM
I love, love this lipstick! It's a warm beige/pink and it's my HG! I've used this color for about two years and it's a great nude color. I recently discovered NYX Circe and Echo, which is an even more nude color but I still revert back to Cherish. Cherish looks great on top of Circe or Echo - it gives Circe and Echo a more warm color. Will definitely repurchase again and again.

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre in High Tea
abrad1967 5/6/2009 11:23:00 PM
This is a sheer peach/nude color. It's a lustre, so the color payoff isn't that great but it's moisturizing. I use it more like a gloss than a lipstick. Love the scent.

Lipstick -MAC - Cremesheen - Shy Girl
abrad1967 5/6/2009 10:19:00 PM
I love this color! It's a peach/coral nude and it has a bit of a frost. This color looks great on my dark olive skin. This is a staple in my collection. I usually wear this on top on my more nude lipsticks - Mac's Cherish or Nyx's Circe or Echo.

Lipstick -MAC - Freckletone lipstick
abrad1967 5/3/2009 2:57:00 AM
This color is a light peachy/beige. The color payoff isn't that great, at least on my lips. It is moisturizing and it's a bit sheer. I use it as a lip gloss on top of my more pigmented lipsticks. The lasting power isn't too great. I may repurchase.

Eyeliner -Revlon - Colorstay Eyeliner-Black
abrad1967 5/3/2009 2:40:00 AM
This eyeliner is another HG eyeliner, along with Mac's fluidline. I use Revlon's eyeliner on my top lid because I find it easier to apply than Mac's fluidline. I apply Mac's fluidline on my lower lashline/waterline. I love, love Revlon's Colorstay. I have used it for years and always keep 3-4, just in case they discontinue this product. This eyeliner has awesome staying power but can be washed off with soap and water. Awesome product.

Lip Treatments -MAC - Hello Kitty -- Pink Fish Tinted Lip Conditioner
abrad1967 5/3/2009 2:33:00 AM
The container is too adorable. The color is frosted pink and although it's pretty sheer, I don't like the color on me. Also, I don't care for the consistency, the smell is yummy. It smells like vanilla. I would repurchase this because the container is adorable!

Lip Gloss -NYX - Smokey Look
abrad1967 5/3/2009 2:25:00 AM
I love this lipgloss and the color. The color, on me, is coral/peach. I don't mind the smell of the Megashine lip glosses. It smells like cherries which is a pleasant scent to me. The price is very reasonable. However, I don't care for the slant applicator but the application with it isn't difficult. This lipgloss is a must have in my collection because I love the color.

Great remover! Love it. It's equally good, if not better, than Neutrogena's oil free remover.

Beautiful color but more pigmented than I expected. Berry/mauve pinkish color w/ bluish/purple specs. Does not great on me if worn alone. I apply on top of Mac's Modesty.
