Eye Shadow -MAC - Idol Eyes
rated 4 of 5
Takota 5/11/2011 10:01:00 AM

I bought this eyeshadow, because it looks almost duochrom-ish. Its grey-ish lilac colour with a golden glow and silver glitter. In my opinion glitter spoils it all. It HAS to be used over a base, for me it works the best over painterly paint pot( tried with UDPP, Rival de Loop, No. 7, Gosh, Inglot)without base, it will be too sheer. Also it looks much better as all over the lid colour. When using this eyeshadow you will get a fall out...from that silver glitter. But the colour itself is very pretty. If it would not be for a lack of pigmentation (which is why u need a base) and glitter I would give it a 5.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Ricepaper Eyeshadow

I really like this eyeshadow. Its a very pretty colour, kinda unusuall. At the beginning I was like "this is such an ordinary colour!", But now I love it. Its yellow,golden and beige mixed together. Another thing I like about this eyeshadow is that its not too shimmery,it has just-right glow. Its a bit too dark for my NW15 to use as highlighter under my brow, but it works really well in the inner corner or all over the lid. Another eyeshadow I love.

This is a must for me. I love it so much. It a duochrome: grey with a hint of green and pink. I just can't imagine living without it LOL. I have pretty wrinkly skin on my lids, as my skin there is super thin. I was worried that this eyeshadow would emphasize wrinklimness, but it did the opposite!!! eeemmm....simply love it. Im NW15

I llllove this perfume. I got this as a present from my mom. Its fresh, floral with a note of citrus... I love it for spring and summer for work or simply everyday. The only reason I took one lippy of is that it lasts 2-3 hours.

I don't know.....I really wanted to love this eyeshadow cos of all the hype on youtube and here....but to be honest, I don't see anything special...bit too warm for me...and there is nothing supernatural about this colour and eyeshadow, for me its just an eyeshadow which I do not reach to often for... Its OK ...

Eye Primer -BeneFit Cosmetics - Stay Don't Stray
rated 2 of 5
Takota 11/5/2010 9:34:00 PM

Ok...so I bought it for a concealer to stay in place. I used to use bobbi brown concealer and its lasting power kinda sucks, so I thought that stay don't stray would help.And also that concealer creases on me. Not only it didn't help it to last much longer but it did nothing for creasing as well.(back to EL DW) So I used it as an eyeshadow base...no, nothing. It did not make my eyeshadow brighter or last longer... But I found if you use it as a primer on your face...(just to finish the product up) it is pretty good for reducing the size of the pores!!!!!!! I would not use it everyday, as it kinda blokes the pores. So if you have this product and do not like it for what it is supposed to be used, try using it for your pores... Would not buy again...

Lipstick -MAC - Innocence, Beware! (Venomous Villains)
rated 5 of 5
Takota 11/5/2010 7:27:00 PM

I love this lipstick....it's perfect nude, but not concealer nude or the nude which makes me look like a dead.... I am really pale, (NW15) so i find it hard to find a nude which would suit me...well this is the one. Its mush pinkier than Gosh Darling...Its is kinda similar to Hard candy Fire alarm(it can look chalky sometimes), but a bit pinkier and does not exaggerate the dryness of my lips! I love it!

Shampoo -Batiste - Dry Shampoo
rated 5 of 5
Takota 8/23/2010 8:54:00 PM

I love this dry shampoo!!! I run out of it and got Tresamme instead, cos I heard so many good review about it.... But to be honest I already miss my batiste...for me it gives better results, lasts longer...and the smell is ok(I prefer original, as when your hair are not too fresh you don't want to have a mixture of not-so-fresh-hair smell with a coconut smell or powder smell...). I expected Tresemme to smell really good, but it smells like an ordinary hair spray...which is ok.may be Im just weird.LLLOOOVE my batiste.

Highlighters -MAC - Marine Life [DISCONTINUED]
rated 3 of 5
Takota 5/29/2010 7:33:00 PM

I hate being the one to spoil good rating of this product but to be honest I agree that its a bit overhyped)) I do like the colors(which were described as a highlighter but to dark for that). I use it as a blush, but I do find that its bit too shimmery. The design is super cute....the golden part is just an overspray...and thats pretty much it...nothing too special just the seahorse)))Looks kinda similar to the blush hipness(except hipness is not as shimmery)if you have to pick between this two pick hipness I use it more often then ML. So yeah....its a lovely product but nothing amazing...imho.

I love this lip gloss. Was not going to buy it at first but then changed my mind and I am so glad I did. It freshens up my face. Its not too bright and not too sheer. Coral-ish pink-ish color. Just love it!!!
