Polishes -OPI - Ate Berries in the Canaries
anna0banana 8/25/2011 2:32:00 AM
Really pretty colour! It's like a bright purpley-pink. But my absolute favourtie thing about this is the consistency. It is literally perfect. I prefer this on my toes because I think it looks a bit awkward on my fingers (not sure why haha), even though I love bright colours and especially bright pinks

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Incredible
anna0banana 8/10/2011 8:45:00 PM
I'm in love with this scent!!! Ah it's like perfection in a bottle! I'm not good at describing scents but I would say that this can work for daytime or evening and is fruity-floral and a little musky yet sweet. Haha that sounds really complicated but I think it's best to just go in the store and smell it. I randomly picked it up from all of the bottles and I completely fell in love with it!!

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Clear
anna0banana 7/27/2011 12:59:00 AM
This stuff is perfect for eyebrows!! I don't fill in my eyebrows since they are pretty dark naturally but I do need something to keep them in place. Using hairspray is reaally messy and the other brow gels I've tried would always come off in these little white pieces which looked terrible so I stopped using them. This stuff works super well and is easily accesible at most drugstores. I doubt I will be wanting to try out more expensive brow gels since this gets the job done and is wayy cheaper then Anastasia brow gels. Will definetly rebuy))

Blush -Rimmel - Blush in Pink Sorbet 018
anna0banana 7/21/2011 2:33:00 PM
Super great blush!! The colour is super pretty (kind of a corally baby pink...?) and the pigmentation is just right. This is just such a breeze to apply and doesn't make me look like a clown or like I have a sunburn. Just like most people have mentioned the packaging is not very good and looks rather cheap. But otherwise this is a really good product and I am planning on tring some more of these, as well as rebuying this colour (which will take me a while to use up since I don't use blush everyday and I have some other blushes as well). Price: 2 Packaging: 2 Rebuy?: Yes!!

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast
anna0banana 7/21/2011 2:43:00 AM
I have been constanly rebuying the L'Oreal Voluminious mascara for the past few years now. I was completely happy with how thickening it was, but I could never wear it on my bottom lashes because it smudged so much! (I have oily lids) In fact, I noticed that it would smudge a lot under my eyes, even if I wore it only on the top lashes. The smudged mascara is not a very good, and made me look even more tired at school. I even tried the waterproof version of the Voluminous, and although it smudged less, it still happened, not to mention it was a pain to get off. (NOW ON TO THE REVIEW OF LASH BLAST) I have been using this for a few weeks now, and so far I am pretty happy. The main thing that prooved it to be better than Voluminous is the fact that it did not smudge at all!! Not even on my bottom lashes!!! Craazy!! Anyways that pretty much sealed the deal for me since I have missed wearing mascara on my bottom lashes very much. :) It is also super easy to get off, and does not clump or flake. One thing that is worse than the Voluminious is the fact that it's not as volumizing; I would say that it's more separating in fact. But overall I think this is probably not that best mascara in the world but I think that while I am on the search for that one, this will be my "safe zone" mascara that I will go back to constantly)))

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous in Coral Reef
anna0banana 6/25/2011 8:23:00 PM
I am absolutely in love with this gloss! I have wanted to try it out for a while but I thought it looked too bright and obnoxious. Let's just say I was wrong because even though the colour is quite bright and the gloss is pigmented it didn't make me look too "made up". This gloss is perfect for the summer because it gives your lips a super nice colour, is not sticky (AT ALL!!), and even has SPF 15 plus it's really mousturizing while having decent staying power. This colour would suit all tones but will look heavenly with a bit of a tan!!

Lipstick -Revlon - Revlon Colorburst in Peach
anna0banana 6/25/2011 8:16:00 PM
Such a beautiful lipstick!! This colour is simply perfect for spring and summer and would look great on pretty much any skin tone! Despite it looking quite orange it is very wearable. The pigmentation is super nice and it is really moisturizing. Having said that, this will have to be reapplied a few times throughout the day, but I don't mind because I would rather reapply a lip product than end up with dry, scaly lips. A must have for me this spring and summer!!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Eyeshadow in Girlie
anna0banana 6/25/2011 8:07:00 PM
Great eyeshadow! The colour is a subtle pink which looks neutral enough for everyday wear. I wouldn't reccommend this if you have A LOT of redness in your skin tone but otherwise you should be fine. The pigmentation is really good and it should wear just fine even without a primer.

Polishes -Sally Hansen - Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in Rockstar Pink
anna0banana 6/25/2011 8:02:00 PM
Super cute colour!! Sally Hansen has a lot of "collections" of nailpolishes and I think the Xtreme Wear ones is not only one of the cheapest but is also one of the best as far as colour choice, ease of application, and durability. I bought this colour a few days ago and my nails were painted a bright, solid magenta. I got kind of bored with them (I sure like my nails bright! haha) so decided to go out and buy a glitter just to spice them up a little. When I saw this polish I decided to get it immediately because it matched my existig nail colour almost perfectly! So I did one coat of this over my existing nail polish and voila! My nails have been transformed. :) And this stuff lasts absolutely forever!! You don't even need a topcoat! (If you don't mind being able to "feel" the glitter lol) I think this polish would be great over a blue, silver, red, purple, or magenta or even on it's own. And for the small price you just can't beat it!!

Polishes -OPI - Do You Lilac It?
anna0banana 6/21/2011 12:32:00 AM
Gorgeous gorgeous colour!!! Perfect for spring and also summer. It is thicker then most OPIs, especially when comparing to the shimmery ones (well obviously the shimmer ones are gonna be more watery haha), so it may take some getting used to if you are most familiar with consitencies similar to those of Essie polishes, but it's definetly workable. The first time I applied it it was cakey and streaky but I think that's because my base coat wasn't dry yet. I redid it the second time and it was still a little streaky but it was fine with the top coat.

Makeup Brushes -MAC - #217 Blending
anna0banana 6/21/2011 12:22:00 AM
Loveee this brush!!! Yeah I'm sure everone has heard how great this is so I don't really have anything significant to add. But yeah you can definetly do all of your eye makeup with this and I believe that even thought it's kinda pricey it's a great investment. Great for blending although I do use a bigger blending brush to finish the blending in the end just because it kind of finishes the look.. but this is perfect for the crease!! It's crazy haha. Overall definetly reccomend to try this baby out. :)

Tinted Moisturizer -Aveeno - positively radiant
anna0banana 5/11/2011 9:21:00 PM
I first bought this because the store ran out of my daytime mousturizer, plus I have wanted to try a tinted mousturizer for a while now. After I bought it, I read some reviews on here before using it. What concerned me is the shimmer in it, so I tried it on my hand under a bright light and sure enough there it was. I kind of panicked but gave it a chance the next morning anyways. When it comes out of the bottle it resembles a foundation, but when applied properly it provides minimal coverage with a "healthy glow", just as advertised. And the shimmer was not noticable on my face at all! I would definetly stay away from this if you have dry skin or flakes because this will make them super obvious. I have combination skin which is dry and kinda flaky after washing and moisturizing but turns oily by the end of the day. When I first apply this in the morning you can kinda see little flakes but they disappear by the time I get to school (about 1 hour). The coverage is very little but evens out my skin tone nicely and does not feel heavy or sticky. I also set this with a face powder, concentrating on my t-zone. I was actually very impressed with the staying power of this because it does really last all day. This does, however smell like sunscreen but I don't mind. Also, it is a bit pricey for the amount of product you get. Otherwise, I would definetly reccomend it and I will be using this all summer!!

Lip Gloss -MAC - Viva Glam Gaga Lipglass
anna0banana 5/8/2011 2:03:00 PM
Loveee this!! I have beem eyeing this for a while and finally got it just recently. The colour is a bright milky-pink with blue undertones. I like that this gloss isn't sticky or runny and is a great colour for everyday yet still super buildable for a brighter look. I think that this colour would suit most people and is more practical than the Viva Glam Gaga 2. This also smells sooo good!! I don't know how to describe it but it's just a faint sweet scent. Total must-have!!

Bronzers -Rimmel - Natural Bronzer - 025 Sun Glow
anna0banana 5/5/2011 12:32:00 AM
Really great bronzer! Not too orange and just the right amount of shimmer for everyday wear. This was pretty affordable and I think that it will last me a long time since I only use a little and I don't use it daily. Not a big fan of the packaging (specifically the lid) but I will cope. Overall, a great buy!

Masks -The Body Shop - Tea Tree Oil Face Mask
anna0banana 5/5/2011 12:18:00 AM
Although I did enjoy this mask because it gave me the "cooling" sensation without drying up like clay masks, it simply didn't do anything for my blemishes, which is probably because the tea tree oil percentage is so low. Using your normal cleanser and some tea tree oil on a q-tip for spot treatments will do you a lot more good than this mask so don't waste your money on it if you are actually looking for something to clear up your skin.
