Amazing...Pricey but aMAzing. Scrubs my lips naturally leaves it pink and smooth the next...I don't follow the instructions though instead of leaving it on for five minutes, I put it on before going to sleep and leave it there :) My HG of lip exfoliants :) Don't bother getting Lancome Primordiale Levres...made my lips break out and had to visit the dermatologist :(

Lipstick -Three Custom Color Specialists - Warm Lavender

This is it!! The shade I have been looking for, that oh-so-virginal, never-been-kissed, would-you-like to be the first to kiss my lips shade!! It's absolutely perfect on my Asian (medium skintone) and darkly two-toned pigmented lips :) It's a subtle shade of pink not violet at all :) Plus, though I'm a lipgloss fan at heart, I must admit, this is the only lipstick I've tried that didn't smell or taste BLECH and didn't feather and clump :) sold! love it love it love it! :)

I have this in flaxen, which is my favorite and Quartz which doesn't do much for me. I love this item so much but I am trying not to love it anymore since they've discontinued it :( Can anybody suggest a substitute for this??

Eyes -Smashbox - Eye Illusion

Very expensive! But I really like all the shades and the fact that they're all in one package. I use the yellow one for a natural look and the green one to give my eyes an awake, fresh look. I just wish that they gave me more for the price I paid! It's very easy to apply and blend and goes well with my Smashing Keylight in Flaxen WHICH THE RAT B*STARDS have discontinued!!!! waaaaaaaaah :( I hate when that happens!!

Eye Shadow -Three Custom Color Specialists - Warm Celery

I loved the fact that this totally opens up my foldless Asian eyes! It says in the site that they use finely milled French powder and I'm inclined to believe it. It IS finely milled and a little goes a long way! You can also reuse the container by buying refills which are a coupla bucks cheaper. I'm a little sad though cause I dropped it and now it's a little cracked :( All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase and can't wait to buy my next one :)

Lip Gloss -Three Custom Color Specialists - Lip Gloss

I do wish they'd package this differently, the pot sometimes swings open in my bag, and I have to tote around a lip brush to apply it evenly. Overall though, this is good, doesn't make my lips peel and go all gunky like other lippies I've tried. I just wish more could be said for staying power, but it's gloss, so I guess it's really not meant to last...I have this in Warm Pink (my favorite) and Warm Red...Warm Red doesn't look too nice on me, makes me look like a harlot :)

I'd have to agree with the others that this does smell great, if ONLY it tasted just as good!! but yeeeeech!! it tastes awFUL!! I know it's the SPF I taste, but ...what a shame, the color was really flattering...sigh...

Fragrances -L'Occitane - Eau de Cologne- Orange leaves essential oil
rated 4 of 5

Wow, this product seems to be the extreme type, love it or hate it! Well, I'm on the love it side...the first time I smelled it, I loved the way it made me smell like I just stepped out of the shower or an orange orchard for that matter...I also like the way it smelled afterward, whenever I'd move, I'd catch a whiff and I wanted to kiss me for smelling so good!! Of course, it's just cologne, so it's not as out there as perfume, its scent is subtle and clean, a girl-next-door type of smell =) Putting this on makes me feel light and refreshed =)

Lip Gloss -Smashbox - Lip Gloss in Smashing Blaze
rated 5 of 5
tatinacious 11/19/2003 9:38:00 PM

I agree with the others when they said that the red color in the tube was a little intimidating, but when I put it on my lips, it came on as a sheer, healthy pinkish shade. My friend who saw me put it on called it a "baby-doll" color, and I'm very satisfied with it! =) It doesn't dry out my lips like other lip gloss and I don't get that icky feathering part...although I also put on the Smashbox lip treatment thing before putting it on, so maybe that was what was doing the trick =) I don't know though what I can do to spruce it up for nighttime wear...any suggestions? =)
