Eyeliner -Lancome - Artliner
c00ki312 11/30/2008 6:41:00 PM
oh how I LOVE this liner! I'm so rubbish at liquid liner and pencil doesn't last long on me but this is amazing! Unlike liquid liners, one quick sweep on your eyes and you get a dark, precise line which doesn't 'bleed' onto your eyelids no matter how hard you press, and you don't need to wipe the nib as it's like a felt tip. It is a bit more expensive than normal but worth it. BTW I think they discontinued this and relaunched it as another felt tip liner product cuz I was told this everywhere I went.

Lip Gloss -Too Faced - Mood Swing Lip Gloss
c00ki312 11/26/2008 8:14:00 PM
Oh how I love this product! I think it will become my fave lip product! At first, I thought "lip gloss that changes colour? no way" but it actually works (for me anyway). It smells sweet and applies clear. When dried, it changes to various shades of pink (i dont necessary believe with changes of emotions) to suit your skintone. Mine went from a baby pink to berry-pink and looked oh so pretty. It isnt super shiny but shiny enough and when the shine disappears, you're left with a stain that doesnt budge until you remove it. Thats when I use MAC's Love Nectar over it and it also looks pretty! Get it! This gloss is the bomb!

Crème -MAC - Select SPF 15 Moistureblend [DISCONTINUED]
c00ki312 11/25/2008 5:19:00 PM
Im very surprised my the negative comments on this cuz, to me, this is an amzing product. It was my first ever MAC foundation recc to me by an MA after telling her I have dry patches. Surprisingly, it felt comfortable and hydrating on my skin. Then randomly I decided to abandon it and use the mineralize liquid fndtn instead. On nights out when taking pictures, I noticed with mineralize my skin would look greasy and unflattering, then I decided to go back to moistureblend and try it for another night out. My skin would look flawless and glowy (I dont know why I deserted it in the first place!)...No doubt I've gone back to MB. The only downside about it is that you shouldnt use the sponge that comes with it and the only other brush to apply with is 190. But it takes so long. So Im going to go back and ask about the studio fix cuz its much better using the 187 for foundation

Mascara -Talika - Lipocils
c00ki312 10/22/2008 3:51:00 PM
I've been using this for 3 weeks now and it REALLY DOES WORK! I apply it before I go to sleep and in the morning before my mascara. I use to have short straight lashes and didnt think it would actually give me long lashes but WHOA, I think my lashes have grown and extra inch lol I don t need a primer and my curl styas put all day. The only thing I dont like is the brush. It looks like the sample brushes you get at MU counters, kinda cheap looking but I've noticed that my lashes dont fall off when I SCRUB my mascara off at the end of the day and theyre more fuller and given me hairs where I had 'bald patches', so I guess that doesnt really matter when this product is so good!

I've been meaning to get some MJ scents and I tried this one in the shops. At first it didn't smell of anything special but after a while it gives off this classy fruity smell. It does kinda smell like a mens scent too but this can pass off as unisex.

Eyeliner -Urban Decay - 24-7 Glide on eyeliner in 1999
c00ki312 9/29/2008 9:56:00 AM
I got this as part of UD velvet rope set (highly reccomended) and it's a burgundy/red with a little shimmer. I wouldn't really wear this on its own but use it over black line on the top lash line and it will give you apretty smokey look. A nice change to plain black or brown.

Eyeliner -Urban Decay - 24-7 Glide on eye pencil in Yeyo
c00ki312 9/29/2008 9:48:00 AM
It's really hard to find a white liner which isn't chalky or one that actually shows up, but this is amazing! I got it as part of UD velvet rope set (highly reccomended!) and its got a little shimmer but no glitter bits which make it perfect. I like to use it as tear duct highlighter. Just swipe a bit in the corners and bring a bit under the lower lashline and your eyes will sparkle. You can even use it on its own with mascara. V pretty! Go buy it!!!!!

Lip Gloss -Max Factor - Silk Gloss - Peach Glow
c00ki312 9/21/2008 9:19:00 AM
I love this! I own millions and millions of lipglosses but find that this cheap gloss is what I always come back to.Its so smooth to apply. It doesn't drag your lip and is no way sticky. It feels like a lip balm and I find that this lasts a good while on me. It has no shimmer or glitter particles, just a sheen. Even if the gloss did fade, I would still be left with a very pretty peachy shine. It looks so pretty in the sunlight! Get it! Get it!

Cleansers -Origins - Checks and Balances
c00ki312 9/21/2008 9:14:00 AM
I love this product. My skin is normal with dry patches around my mouth area which was also prone to chronic redness due to my eczema. My mum got this as part of a gift set and even though it wasn't for my skin type (its for combination skin) i tried it anyway. Other cleansers would irritate the dry patch and make it itch like crazy but after a few nights of use, the red, itchy dry patch disappeared! My mouth area is completely clear and smooth and itch free! And the rest of my face is even and so soft! Thank god I found this product!

Eyes -NYX - jumbo eye shadow pencil-black bean
c00ki312 7/21/2008 6:17:00 PM
I use this as an alternative to sharkskin shadestick as a base for eyeshadows. Its easier to blend on the eye but it leaves a big mess around your eyes so you might need a brush to apply. Gives shadows a good colour payoff and if you dont layer a lot on, it will hardly crease. Too bad you cant get NYX in UK as I would have the whole range by now.

Lip Treatments -Too Faced - Lip Injection
c00ki312 6/23/2008 9:17:00 AM
After all the hype, it turns out to be a just a regular gloss which kinda tingles for a while and make your lips red (my lips turned bright pink and my lipline around my mouth turned a horrendously shade of red. It seriously looked like I had a BAD allergic reaction). That's why you think it works, but then the tingle disappears and your lips go back to normal (my lipline was still red!) but the staying power of the shine is really good and smells real nice.

Blush -MAC - Virgin Isle Cream Colour Base (CCB)
c00ki312 6/22/2008 6:57:00 PM
[NC30] I had always been looking for a coral blush and the fact it's in creme form is even better. It looks so bright in the pan but if you use a MAC 187 stippling brush, just dot on your cheeks and swirl. It ends up looking really natural and pretty esp if you have a light tan, your face will GLOW! It also looks great as a stain on your lips if you pat it on. This is a CCB, not a regular blush so its not safe for eye area.but OK for cheeks and lips.

Pressed Powders -MAC - Mineralize Skin Finish Natural - Medium Plus
c00ki312 6/22/2008 6:53:00 PM
Before this shade was released I had to use MSFN in Medium as it was the closest to my NC30 tone. But it made my face white. I've also got a bit of yellow/beige undertones and didnt think even this shade would work but omg it is a godsend! the contrast between medium and medium plus is not even visible in the pan but on the skin it covers everything perfectly. No need for concealor. Just buff with MAC 180 brush and my skin just glows and I dont have that thick foundation feeling I hate! It is honestly the next best thing to foundation and anyone with similar colouring should get this shade.
