i have seen many people complain about it being blue on the skin. But it is only blue if you use too much. I apply this with a brush instead of the puff that it comes with. i keep it in my purse at all times

While i really like this pigment. This reminds me of UD's X I really like it but i do have X so i might be taking this back.... i am on the fence right now. **update** i have kept my melon pigment but i hardly use it. hopefully i will be using this more.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Portraiture Paint

I was at the MAC counter returning my untitled paint and asked the lady working about another paint that would match my skin closer since untitled is too pale, i tan year round so i need with more of a bronze base she grabbed portraiture and put some on my hand i rubbed it in and it matched great. a little bit more pinky than my skin but overall very nice. I wanted something i could wear as a wash for those "no make up" days and as a base for my e/s. i put some of this on when i got home and it's awesome. I am sooo glad i got it. **update** this creased on me so i won't be using it as a base any longer :(

Eye Makeup Remover -Physicians Formula - Vital Lash Eye Makeup Remover Lotion
rated 5 of 5
Anya1976 7/10/2004 2:03:00 AM

I bought this tonight on a whim i was scanning the eye make up removers and most of them had mineral oil in them :(. wow I am so impressed. this got my mascara off so quickly. I will have to try it with my waterproof formula tomorrow (since I am going to a picnic at a beach tomorrow). I think i have found a holy grail if it does this well with waterproof formulas and my Benefit Shelaqed make up. **UPDATE** i used this again tonight i was out i wore my shelaq and it took off my mascara and liner like a dream. they key is not to get the cottonball to wet (which i found out lol)i didn't have to use any other eye make up remover to get all my eye make up off. this is my HG make up remover.

Lip Gloss -Urban Decay - Litter Lipgunk
rated 2 of 5
Anya1976 7/7/2004 4:42:00 AM

i got this in a mini version. i would love to give this 5 lippies like i have for other lip gunks. the glitter in this one i can actually feel ( i have other glitterlip gunks, biker, shifty) and i do not feel the glitter in them on my lips this gunk seems a little thinner than my other gunks. maybe that's why i feel the glitter on my lips in this one.

Lip Gloss -Urban Decay - Lip Gunk in Paranoid
rated 5 of 5
Anya1976 7/6/2004 6:48:00 PM

I got this in a swap and i LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I have 8 other lip gunks and i LOVE them. they have great staying power. I would tell people who hae never tried a lip gunk to try this one first since the other l/g can be very sparklie and frosty looking so this is one i'd start people off with unless they are already into sparkle. This will be a staple in my l/g collection.

Cleansers -Urban Decay - Zen Cleanse

Anya1976 6/30/2004 2:29:00 AM

I got this at Marshall's for 4.99 and for the price the cleanser was really good. now that i know some UD products make their way to marshall's i will be checking there often for stuff cheap so i can try it. ***update*** I am so upset they DC this. this was the ONLY cleanser that didn't make my face break out and controled my once in awhile break outs. I need to find something comparable to this. if someone knows of anything please let me know.

Lip Treatments -Burt's Bees - Lifeguard's Choice Weatherproofing Lip Balm
rated 3 of 5
Anya1976 6/30/2004 1:57:00 AM

I like this balm, BUT since it's white it makes my lips look really washed out. i would have given this 5 lippies if it didnt do that. I go tan so i need a lipbalm with an spf i guess if i am not really going anywhere this balm is ok but if i am going anywhere i don't like to wear it since it's so white.

i have been using burt's bees for a few months now. My lips are as soft as they ever have been even though it has the peppermint oil in it, the lip balm has not dried out my lips at all. I even got my mom using burt's bees.

i own 8 lip gunks. i love them Shifty is my total fave nude color.Biker is a very shimmery pale color that looks great with my tan. AC/DC is a sheer burgandy with a bit of glitter, i orignally got ac/dc in a face case and fell in love had to had a full size. YDK is a great shimmery brown another that looks great with a tan. Midnight cowboy is a very pretty shimmery pinky brown. Shotgun is a your lips but better shimmery pink. Tart is a very prettty sheer red with golden shimmer, i actuallyliked this one better in a face case i have. Gash a very pretty red that i can only pull off on dressy days.

Lip Gloss -Urban Decay - XXX Shine Lip Gloss

i got the triple X boxed set and i have a full size of heatherette. I love these lip glosses. Even though they do contain mineral oil (and i am not a fan of that) I'd have to say my faves are heatherette, baked, love junkie,and disco inferno. I am all about the glitter. I think it was cus i grew up in the 80s ;)

Lip Gloss -Urban Decay - Triple X Box Set
rated 4 of 5
Anya1976 6/30/2004 12:06:00 AM

i got this at marshall's for 6 bucks (it was the last one) i am already swapping for it but i coudln't wait i had to have it NOW now. I already own heatherette in the large size and i love that gloss it's so pretty. i sat tonight and tried all of them (when i got home) I really love Love Junkie i was always shying away from buying it but i am glad i got to try it in here. I am normally not a pinky lip gloss person so i was leary of ID and Carney but they are ok.for my subdued days i think these will work nicely. Uzi i do love i think it's great i am all about glitter (ok i know i am 28 and i should be over the teeny bopper glitter phase but i'm not) I had been dying to get baked but hadn't yet so i am glad i got to try it i have a tan so this looks really great on my skin. It looks better than i thought it would on me. I love the cooling tingle on the lips i normally wear burt's bees lipbalms so i am used to the cooling so that doesn't bother me at all. I personally like the lipgunks and their different scents and flavors better but i am sure they wanted something to make these different than the gunks. I love the small portable size of these glosses i can fit a couple in even the smallest purse. i will have to see if they leak or not but i am glad i am getting another set of these small glosses (i can either keep all of them or give the ones i don't like as much to friends or my little cousins) I am so glad i found this, i went to a marshalls closer to my house this afternoon and they didn't have any more (i saw evidence that one was stolen cus the cellphane was left on a shelf)If i see these at marshalls again i am definately buying more these would be great presents for friends and family.

Lip Gloss -Urban Decay - Sparkler Pen-Bombshell
rated 5 of 5
Anya1976 6/28/2004 12:54:00 AM

I love this. I just bought it yesterday and i am wondering why i didn't get it sooner!!! My lips are not that pigmented so this makes a very pretty nude sparkle perfect for everyday wear and perfect for days when you have dramatic eyes and want nude lips with a bit of sparkle.
