Eyeliner -MAC - Ms. Petunia Eye Kohl
gambitlizard 5/2/2003 1:18:00 PM
Okay, this is PINK eyeliner. That said, I love it. It makes a nice highlighting colour. Ms. Petunia looks great with just about any colour eyeshadow brushed over it - it softens harsh shades. One con - you have to be a litte cautious with it, or you can end up with people asking you what's wrong with your eyes.

Eyeliner -MAC - Ivy Eye Kohl
gambitlizard 5/2/2003 1:11:00 PM
Ivy is not well-named. Others have said this before. It's a lovely green colour with blue tones. Goes nicely with MAC's Steamy eyeshadow - they are very similar. General MAC kohl statement - goes on creamy and smooth. Easy to use and smudges nicely.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Trax

This is one of my favorite MAC shadows. Trax is a plummy purple with gold shimmer. Very pretty on any eyecolour. I love to wear this with MAC's Paradisco shadow and Prunella kohl liner. Trax looks equally good with bronze, gold, pink, brown or purple shadows. Great colour!

This is a pretty, green shimmer e/s with some blue tones. It looks very pretty with MAC's Ivy eyeliner kohl. Looks nice with just about any eyecolour.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Paradisco (Frost)

Another unusual but winning shadow from MAC... I thought this would be hard to wear, but it's very versatile. This is a deep coral colour, with shimmer. Like Sushiflower, can be used as a sheer all over or as an accent. Looks great with a bronzed face or with a multitude of colors to accent (purples, pinks, oranges).

Eye Shadow -MAC - Mac Sushiflower

First let me say, this may not be a colour for everyone. It's a deep, cotton candy pink colour. Can go on sheer all over, or be used as an accent shade. Application is king with this one... but it is very wearable. I'm a PPP and it makes a nice, subtle look if used with a light hand.

Powder -MAC - Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation
gambitlizard 5/2/2003 12:51:00 PM
I love this foundation. Nice, sheer coverage, matte finish, the ABSOLUTE best colour selection... what more can I say?! It is a powder foundation, not creamy at all. Good for oily skin. It might look cakey on someone with drier skin. My summertime staple when I want a matte look.

Love this stuff! Cool shell is my colour (PPP). Looks like your skin, but better. Lightly blends tone and makes skin look perfect.

Crème -Prescriptives - Photochrome Light Adjusting Compact Makeup
gambitlizard 4/17/2003 10:35:00 PM
I bought this in the lighest blue/red shade, Cool Shell. This looks great on... sheer to medium coverage. It tended to stay a little greasy on my normal/oily skin, even with a light dusting of powder. Still, I really like the finish and coverage. Applies easily with supplied sponge. Makes skin look dewy. Would repurchase for winter use only (when my skin is more dry).

Treatments -Ole Henriksen - Invigorating Night Gel

Feels slimy going on and leaves your skin sticky - but I guess that's why it's for night use. I did notice fewer blackheads and breakouts after using this.

Skincare - Face -Ole Henriksen - Sheer Transformation Creme
gambitlizard 4/17/2003 10:23:00 PM
Has AHA and BHA. Very natural ingredients. Leaves a "film" on the skin that lasts all day, making it feel soft and protected. Since I started using this, my skin has never looked or felt better. No blemishes, no redness, no dryness or excess oil. Wonderful!

Moisturizers -Olay - Hydrating Beauty Fluid
gambitlizard 4/17/2003 10:16:00 PM
Oil of Olay is an old stand-by. I use the sensitive skin with SPF formula. It's a great moisturizer, without frills. I can't say that it will make you look young forever, but it works great for normal skin.
