Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous in Coral Reef
alee26 4/23/2011 7:54:00 PM
My friend recommended this shade of gloss for me. I LOVE it! I'm NC25, so this works wonderfully for my skin-tone. It's not too orange at all which is what I was kind of scared of, but it gives my lips a nice pop of colour that is very wearable for the daytime. Gloss is moisturizing and not too sticky. Love the packaging too! Definite repurchase!!

Powder -MAC - Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation

I wanted to love this, but it didn't live up to it's hype. I am in the shade NC25 and I do love that it gives me a reasonable coverage on its own which is what I usually like to wear, but I do find it is slightly cakey. It extenuates my dry flakes of skin too. For such an expensive product where I live, I was expecting a bit more. Also broke me out. :(

Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup

My go to foundation! I use the shade sand-beige and it seems to blend nicely into my skin. I love that this doesn't break me out, unlike the studio fix :( Coverage is medium to full depending how much you use. I usually go lighter and wear a small amount so I get a medium coverage. I use the ELF Powder brush (the flat top one) and it blends in like a dream. I don't get oily that often when using this and it stays put until I take it off during the end of the day. Yes, the packaging could be improved! Revlon, take note! If it came in a pump form, I would love this even more. The smell is a bit weird, but in my opinion all foundations seem to have some sort of weird smell. Will keep on buying this over and over again!

Liquid -MAC - Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15
alee26 4/23/2011 7:37:00 PM
I finally decided to invest in this foundation. MAC is pretty expensive in NZ so I was a bit reluctant to spend alot on this. I got matched to NC25 which I think is a good match for me. I can get it blended nicely without any harsh foundation line on me. I use the ELF powder brush to blend this in and does an amazing job. Coverage I say is medium, the way I usually like my foundation to be. However, I hate that this broke me out. I know its this foundation since it was the only new product I was using for my face. I also ended up looking quite oily after a couple of hours. Since its quite expensive I think I'll stick to Revlon Colourstay since it is cheaper and doesn't break me out. Plus, it's just as good as the studio fix in my opinion.

Concealers -MAC - Studio Finish Concealer

The makeup artist at MAC matched up to NC20. I thought it would be too light for me, but when she applied it on me at the store, it was perfect. My horrible dark circles were gone. Went home and I tried it out the next day and I found it pretty hard to work with. It's quite thick. I tried using a concealer brush, my finger and a damp sponge. Out of the three, I think the damp sponge worked best for me since it is fairly thick. A little bit goes a long way or else you get cakey-ness. It covered my spots and blemishes perfectly though, just wish it did a better job with dark circles. For such an expensive product, I was expecting a bit more from this. I get better results from a drugstore concealer in my opinion.

Lip Treatments -MAC - Tinted Lip Conditioner - Petting Pink

Brought this twice already because I use it almost everyday. Great product, moisturizes my lips well, gives a glossy pink finish and smells nice. Like that it has SPF 15 too. Don't like that it is in a pot form though, but oh well, I would still repurchase.

Eye Shadow -Revlon - Colorstay 12-Hour Eyeshadow Quad "In the Buff"
alee26 4/19/2011 7:56:00 PM
Not bad quad. I used this for everyday for awhile but stopped because I was seeking eyeshadows with a bit more pigmentation. They are sheer, good neutral shades for work or for school in my opinion. Would be nice for those who want a 'no makeup, makeup look'. Won't repurchase.
