Lip Gloss -Laura Mercier - Melon Glace Lip Glace
CaliBello 3/9/2004 11:12:00 AM
This is my favorite of the Lip Glaces. I use this over a variety of lipsticks and I always look like a sexy Playmate when I wear it! LOL This l/g is really long lasting!! I hate the tube because when you open it so much product has leaked out around the top. Overall, it's a fun lip gloss in a hot shade!

Lipstick -MAC - girl next door
CaliBello 3/9/2004 11:08:00 AM
This was a too watermelony and not enough peach for me. My Bunny Pink is actually more wearable than this! I am making use of it by topping it with a l/g that tones down the watermelon pink. I'll probably swap it though.

Eyeliner -Too Faced - Liquid Lava Super eyeliner Lava Gloss
CaliBello 3/9/2004 11:02:00 AM
This eyeliner is soooo soft. Perfect for smudging and blending, but that also makes it a perfect candidate for smearing. I can't wear this on my bottom rim, but it looks great on top (UDPP keeps it put). I got this as a GWP from Sephora and plan to buy one in Chocolate soon. ***UPDATE Love the Chocolate even more!

Lotions/ Creams -L'Occitane - 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream
CaliBello 3/8/2004 4:30:00 PM
Yuck! Smells like diaper cream. It is good for dry skin, but too greasy for me. Plus I just can't handle the horrible smell.

Eyeliner -MAC - Rosemary and Thyme eye kohl
CaliBello 3/8/2004 1:05:00 PM
R&T is a beautiful color. I had a MAC MA apply this to the top and bottom and then smudge it and it looked dreamy. But when I try to duplicate this at home, it looks so unnatural. I love the color but hardly reach for this kohl.

Eye Shadow -MAC - MAC Orb Eyeshadow
CaliBello 3/8/2004 12:59:00 PM
I love Orb! It's the perfect base shadow and I always look better when I use it as a highlighter. It brightens up my whole look. One lipstick of because sometimes it is a bit chalky.

This is a peachy-brown liner I wear with MAC Tempting l/s. I love how soft this liner is and it compliments my lip and skin tone very well. GGG with brown eyes/hair.

Lips -MAC - Frost Lipstick in Tempting
CaliBello 3/4/2004 11:35:00 AM
This is my all time favorite MAC lippie. I almost didn't try it because I don't like shimmer and it's a Frost, but strangely this is totally matte. It is a hard to decribe peachy-brown. Suits me to a "T." I'm a GGG with brown hair/eyes.

Bronzers -Estee Lauder - Bronze Goddess
CaliBello 3/3/2004 2:43:00 PM
Gorgeous bronzer! Gives my skin the prefect glow. Quite natural, never orangy. Although I see shimmer in the compact, hardly any shows on my skin-which is the way I prefer it. I spent $28.50 on this a year ago and there is still enough for another 6 months! UPDATE: Bringing this down to a 4...in certain lights I see red and too much shimmer that I never noticed before. I will not repurchase since I like a totally matte look.

Powders -Dr. Hauschka - Dr. Hauschka pressed and loose powders
CaliBello 3/3/2004 2:37:00 PM
Loose Powder: The ingredients sold me on this one. It sets my make-up like a dream, but it only controls oil until the afternoon. The packaging is messy and the smell is strong (rose?).

Lipstick -L'Oreal - Endless Lipstick - in the buff
CaliBello 3/1/2004 2:56:00 PM
By itself, it washes me out. Paired over other colors-it's gorgeous. It can tone down a too dark lippie or just mix with another color for a new look. I always grab this when my lips just don't look right. I swipe this on top and Viola!

Lipstick -MAC - Midimauve Lustre Lipstick
CaliBello 3/1/2004 2:51:00 PM
This is a great MAC lustre lipstick. Isn't sheer like past lustre colors. Yet, It's too dark to be YLBB on me. I like it for the winter when I'm wearing dark colors. Feels good and lasts long on my lips.

Lipstick -Laura Mercier - Lip Kisses in Apricot Sorbet
CaliBello 2/24/2004 1:51:00 PM
This gets 3 lippies for the color. The more you apply the more beautiful it is. I like the slim packaging, but there is not enough product to justify the price. This is why I will probably not repurchase along with I don't care for the smell/taste and the texture is very runny. I am looking for this color in a better quality product. Page me if you have found one!

Misc Beauty Tools -Tweezerman - Mini tweezers
CaliBello 2/24/2004 1:48:00 PM
The Tweezerette is NOT a mini version of the fabulous Tweezerman tweezer. It is not as precise and can not get the job down as well. Just doesn't grab hairs as well. However, I carry around in my purse and it is very handy for a quick pluck on the run.

Blush -L'Oreal - Feel Naturale in Charmed Peach
CaliBello 2/24/2004 11:10:00 AM
What a lovely peachy pink with ever so subtle shimmer! Gives my cheeks a BEAUTIFUL fresh glow. Ingredients are Sage Safe. I will repurchase forever. Packaging isn't the prettiest and I use a better MAC brush to apply, but the included brush can be workable. I got this at Target for $6.99 but I've seen it for as much as $11.99 elsewhere. Update: HOLY GRAIL
