Fragrances -Comptoir Sud Pacifique - Vanilla Cerise
kookykitty 8/19/2003 6:40:00 PM
I love CSP Vanille Cerise! It smells like candied cherries! It's very sweet and yummy smelling. :) The scent is very long lasting on me. I love *very* sweet foody and fruity scents, though. It may be a bit strong or cloying on others. I'm definitely going to repurchase when I run out--it's become a new fragrance staple. :)

Lip Gloss -Lancome - Juicy Tubes in Sun Bronze
kookykitty 5/30/2003 4:54:00 PM
Lancome Juicy Tube in Sun Bronze in one of my fave lipcolors! It's a pretty plummy bronzey color in the tube and on my highly pigmented lips it's a beautiful rosey plummy bronzey shade! This gloss looks great against my Stila D/E medium yellow undertoned skin and dark hair. Such a gorgeous color! I'd definitely rush out to buy another when I run out! A new staple in my collection! :D

Fragrances -Comptoir Sud Pacifique - Lait Sucre
kookykitty 5/1/2003 5:14:00 PM
I received a sample of this from the wonderful sweet Dinah and I must say it smells goooood! CSP Lait Sucre smells like caramel, sweet cream, and warm milk. I love this scent! Come to think of it, it smells exactly like the taste of condensed milk! :D I love sweet foody scents and I've got a major sweet tooth to boot so you know I had to fall in love with this scent! I'm just so bummed to hear that it's been discontinued! :( I'm going to try to get a bottle (or 2! :D) before they completely disappear. :) ***EDIT*** I still *love* this scent, but I'm so sad to report that the CSP Lait Sucre does not last very long on me. :( I could barely detect the fragrance not too long after I initially sprayed it. :(

Fragrances -Serge Lutens - rahat loukoum
kookykitty 5/1/2003 4:30:00 PM
This is my *favorite* scent of all time! Huge thanks to the sweet and generous Dinah for sending me a generous sample of this glorious fragrance! On me, it smells like maraschino cherries, almonds, and sugary icing! Yummmers!!!! Oh my goodness! I *must* have a full sized bottle of this! Why oh why isn't it available here in the U.S.? I put some of this lovely fragrance on this morning and it's still there 7 hours later! I smell a bit less of the cherries now, more of a sugary milky almond scent--but still wonderful! I couldn't stop sniffing myself all day! lol! :P

Fragrances -Comptoir Sud Pacifique - Vanille Cafe
kookykitty 4/25/2003 12:38:00 PM
I just purchased Vanille Cafe from a super sweet muaer! I *love* this scent! Very true coffee and vanilla scent to me. It actually smells like fresh ground coffee beans to me mixed with a bit of sweet vanilla. It lasted surprisingly long on me! In fact, I sprayed it last night for the first time and I can still smell it on me(mostly the vanilla notes only, though)! But, the coffee scent was very strong all night after I sprayed it. I only put *one little spritz* on, too. :) CSP has a winner with Vanille Cafe! :D

Palettes -Urban Decay - Bad Girl face case
kookykitty 4/19/2003 2:32:00 PM
I *love* this facecase!!! UD Bad Girl Facecase is one of the most flattering versatile palettes out there! I love that it includes instructions on fun looks that you can achieve using the colors in the palette. One of my fave looks is with Asphyxia smudged below the eye and into the crease w/ Uzi wet on the lid and then another layer on top of that! Love it w/ the ABC Gum l/s and AC/DC Lipgunk on top and Paranoid blush on the apples to pull this look all together! What a pretty and easy look! :)The case is so slim and portable so it fits easily in any purse. A *fantabulous* deal at $34, imho! :) All the colors in this palette look great against my dark brownish black hair and my Stila D/E yellow undertoned skin. :)

Lip Gloss -MAC - Lipglass in Shock-O-Late
kookykitty 3/29/2003 4:34:00 PM
One of my favorite lipglosses of all time! Shock-o-late is a beautiful chocolate brown lip gloss! Goes on beautifully with MAC Chestnut Lip liner for luscious shiny chocolately brown lips! Long lasting, too! Looks great against my Stila D/E yellow undertoned skin and dark black hair. Reasonably priced at around $13, I think. Yummy scent, too! :)

Eye Shadow -Stila - Salsa Eye Rouge
kookykitty 3/22/2003 12:23:00 AM
Salsa is one of my staples! I *love* this pretty shimmery medium slighty pinkish peach! I like to wear it on my lid and up into my crease area, a little Jezebel in the crease, and Twig to line. Very pretty peachy look! :) Pan retails for $14, I think.

Fragrances -Comptoir Sud Pacifique - Amour de Cacao
kookykitty 3/21/2003 2:59:00 PM
Oh my! I *love* this scent! Smells like wonderful Shortbread cookies, Dark Chocolate, and fresh Oranges! Yum yum!!!! I actually found this scent fairly long lasting on me. Maybe it's mu body chemistry or something. :P I can't help but smell my wrists all day after I spray this scent on. It is one of my fave fragrances! DH adores this scent on me, too! I just wish it wasn't so pricey--$49 for a 2 oz seems a bit steep to me, but I will fork it over to indulge in this wonderful scent! :)

Lip Gloss -Urban Decay - Lip Gunk in Tart
kookykitty 3/21/2003 2:53:00 PM
UD Lip Gunk in Tart is a beautiful color! On my pinky pigmented lips, is was a sheer slightly berryish red with fine shimmer. Very pretty! To up the red a bit more, I lined my lips with Origins lip liner in Brick(the name is a bit misleading, the actual color is a candy apple true red) and my lips looked a gorgeous shade of shimmery true red! Looked beautiful against my dark hair and medium yellow undertoned Stila D/E skin. Retails for $13. Great price for this wonderful product! Smells delish, too, like Kool-aid? Or fruit punch? :)

Lip Gloss -Urban Decay - XXX Shine Lip Gloss in Love Junkie
kookykitty 3/21/2003 2:11:00 PM
UD XXX Shine Gloss in Love Junkie is one of my HG staples! Beautiful berry red color! Looks like a scary deep purpley color in the tube, but goes on sheerly to leave a gorgeous berry red tint on your lips--very ooh-la-la! :P It looks great against my dark hair and medium Stila D/E with yellow undertoned skin. I think this color would look great on many different skin tones, too! Retails at $15--very reasonable as you only need a little bit to achieve that luscious pucker! :)

Lip Gloss -Urban Decay - Lip Gunk in Paranoid
kookykitty 3/21/2003 2:07:00 PM
I *love* UD Paranoid Lip Gunk! Wonderful creamy cocoa caramely color that looks great against my dark hair and medium Stila D/E skin tone! Smells like Butterscotch to me. :) I've been looking for a great lip color to tone down my heavily pigmented full pink lips without having to do the boring J.Lo nude look that I've been wearing forever. Paranoid gave me a gorgeous YLB*much*B soft look! It really toned down my crazy pink lips and made them look beautiful! A great "natural" looking color! reasonably priced at around $13, too! :)EDIT: I don't know what happened, but this beautiful color turned pink on me--in a bad way. I'm talking fuschia tinted. Why does this happen to me??? :(

Longlasting and true scent that really fills up the room! :)

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Passionate Kisses
kookykitty 2/28/2003 2:37:00 PM
I *love* VS Passionate Kisses! A wonderful Muaer(creole) introduced me to this scent and I immediately went out and purchased a bottle of my own(that same day in fact! :P)I seem to be the minority in this one, but this fragrance has a lovely light sweet candyish tropical punch-like scent that I adore! At only $9 for a bottle(the smallest sized EDT spray), it is a definite bargain! In fact, I am going to go back and purchase the matching body lotion to layer with this scent! :)

Lips -Revlon - 3-in-1 Colorstick in Captured in Cocoa
kookykitty 12/29/2002 5:07:00 PM
I purchased Captured in Cocoa 3-in-1 Colorstick from the 007 Bond Collection. It is gorgeous bronzey brown! It looked beautiful on my pinkish pigmented lips. I also used it as a blush by putting some on the back of my hand, then I applied it with the pads of my fingers in a dabbing motion. It blended quite nicely onto my Stila D/E skin and gave me a nice healthy summery flush! Very pretty! It looked nice on my dark brown eyes--it was sheer, though and a tad difficult to blend, but still a pretty bronzey tint with just a bit of barely there shimmer. The Colorsticks remind me of the Stila Color 3-in-1 Couriers(except Stila's are $20!). The collection is on sale at Rite Aid right now for 50% off(reg. $6, on sale for $3!), so I'm going back for more!
