Lip Treatments -Laura Mercier - Lip Balm
Menolikepolos 5/12/2013 11:30:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. This is a great lip balm, but I can't believe I paid as much as I did for it : ( It's really expensive, and after using it daily, it only lasted me 2 months. Granted, I did use it under my eyes as well for the spf. It did its job well, I just wish it was about half its price.

Moisturizers -Josie Maran Cosmetics - Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 40
Menolikepolos 5/12/2013 11:26:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. I have enjoyed using this on my dry cheeks (combination skin), but on my oily T-zone, this is a disaster. I like that this is a moisturizer with such a high spf. However, I find I need to use a primer over this or my make up smears horribly. Primers also don't help that much. Therefore, since I want to be able to wear make up over this, I think I will need to stick to my original plan of finding a primer with sunscreen. It also is expensive, and while I like the pump, it is hard to see how much you have left with the tinted glass bottle. Also, do not get this near your eyes. Just the evaporation as you are rubbing it into your skin can burn your eyes or make them water.

Eye Shadow -Neutrogena - Crease Proof
Menolikepolos 5/12/2013 11:21:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. I purchased this in Perfectly Pink. It has almost no color pay off, especially after you blend. It just looks like glitter. The formula is stiff. For $10 at CVS, this is disappointing.

Lotions/ Creams -Yes To Carrots - Super Rich Body Butter
Menolikepolos 5/12/2013 11:18:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. I purchased a trial size to keep as hand cream in my purse. It feels strange, more like a lotion than a body butter. Didn't find it to be particularly moisturizing. Wouldn't recommend on those two counts.

Mascara -FLOWER Beauty - Zoom-In Ultimate Mascara
Menolikepolos 5/10/2013 12:36:00 PM
I love this mascara!!! it has a special wand that you can twist and it makes the spooks long and curved, so it is maybe the ONLY mascara that curls my lashes up while applying the mascara very evenly. it defines like a dream and lengthens. no volume though : ( but I noticed that if i put a volumizing mascara on before, then use this wand to comb out, it is the best results : )

Mascara -Maybelline - Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Waterproof
Menolikepolos 5/10/2013 12:54:00 AM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. I definitely like this mascara and mini wand for the lower lash line. It's much easier to use because of the little wand. It might be easier to save the wand and see if you can use it with a dollar store mascara though.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast Volume Waterproof
Menolikepolos 5/2/2013 11:28:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. I have medium length lashes that are stick straight. This mascara did not impress. It did not length my lashes nor make them look fuller. And it did not hold my curl. And it clumped : ( I get better results with natural mascaras like Full n Soft.

Pressed Powders -Maybelline - Shine Free Pressed Powder
Menolikepolos 5/2/2013 11:21:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. I purchased this powder in Soft Cameo. It does not control oil well for me, but it also never looks cakey. I feel like this color would suit NW15 very well. I also go through alot of product because I end up using it often during the day because well, it doesn't work well lol. I hit pan fast. It would be a decent setting powder for an NW15 with normal/dry skin lol. I like that it comes with a mirror, and the pressed compact never leaked powder into my bag, despite the product being very powdery.

Menolikepolos 5/2/2013 11:16:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. This is very warm toned. I needed a taupe brown for my brows. This ends up looking very obvious : ( Plus, I don't really use the highlighter.

Tinted Moisturizer -E.L.F. - Studio Tinted Moisturizer
SPF 20
Menolikepolos 4/30/2013 7:29:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. I knew this was too good to be true. My first foray into the world of Tinted Moisturizer. Purchased "Nude" at my local Target on a whim. Pros: will match about NC25 shade of skin. Controls oil ok. Cons: Only light coverage. Not buildable - it will get patchy the minute you try to do that, drawing further attention to your blemishes. ORANGE. Sets fast, hard to blend after about 10 seconds.

Blush -Revlon - Photoready Cream Blush
Menolikepolos 4/30/2013 7:03:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. Pinched: a warm creamy peach flesh tone. Blends well into my skin. I like how sheer but buildable these cream blushes are. This one looks very natural on me and gives me a peach glow for summer. I love applying it with a dense brush like Sephora #45 Mineral brush.

Lipstick -Revlon - Juicy Papaya Lip Butter
Menolikepolos 4/30/2013 7:01:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. This looks bright coral in the tube, but when I wear this on my lips, it's very MLBB. Just enhances their natural rosy tone. Some might find that disappointing, but I like the effect. I can tell it makes a difference, and creates a lovely color, even if its not the dramatic color I had hoped for. I like this lip butter because its creamy and moisturizing, and does not have the glitter that makes others like Peach Parfait feel gritty. I hope this is permanent, because I will wear this as a go-to MLBB for awhile.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous False Fiber Lashes
Menolikepolos 4/30/2013 6:59:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. This mascara did not work for me. When I first put it on, it does not give me much volume or length. Does not hold a curl either. I feel like it makes my lashes feel dry and brittle. And worst offense, it flakes on my under eyes during the day.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Colorburst in Bellini
Menolikepolos 4/30/2013 6:57:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. This is a milky, sheer light peach toned lip gloss. It is decently moisturizing, and wears well. No weird fading or stains. Packaging is nice, as are all the Revlon Colorburst lip glosses. I was hoping this would be a dupe for MAC Boy Bait, but it's far peachier. Great for the summer, it's like a baby pink lip but instead of pink, it's baby peach. Great for people with very pigmented lips, as it tones the lip color down alot when worn alone, makes me look tan even at NW20/NW25 because my lips look paler. I prefer to wear it with a lip liner underneath or lipstick, as it washes me out too much.
