Lipstick -L'Oreal - Infallible Lip Colour Duo
Jadetive 11/28/2008 8:25:00 AM
I swatched these on the back of my palm at the drugstore, let sit for a few mins and tried to rub it off. These are REALLY smudge proof. I even had difficulty at home trying to remove it with olive oil. I really wonder what they put in the formulation, it sticks like tar! Considering how tough it is to remove, and how dry it must feel on the lips, I probably wouldn't buy it. However, if you're looking for a long wearing lipstick and you're not particular about the dry feeling, this really fits the bill. Plus there are some lovely shades as well.

Headache inducing and far too spicy for my liking.

Eye Shadow -E.L.F. - Custom Eyes - Dusk #2509
Jadetive 11/8/2008 8:17:00 AM
I love elf shadows, they're so shimmery soft. Dusk is similiar to Jane's Clubbing. It's even blacker than Clubbing, if that's possible. Jane looks almost charcoal next to Dusk. The color is shimmery and very pigmented. As with all elf shadows, the only con is that it tends to fall everywhere during application. Other than that, it's a perfect shadow.

Eye Shadow -E.L.F. - Custom Eyes - Moondust
Jadetive 11/8/2008 8:14:00 AM
I love elf shadows, they're so shimmery soft. Moondust is similar to Satin Taupe. However, to my eye, it's slightly warmer and a little bit more bronze while Satin Taupe is a cooler and a tad darker. Still, I'd classify both are shimmery taupes. Can't say enough about this eyeshadow. The only con is that it tends to fall everywhere during application. Other than that, it's a perfect shadow.

Fragrances -Moschino - Funny!
Jadetive 11/7/2008 7:21:00 AM
To my nose, Moschino's Funny! and I Love Love are very similar. Both are very citrusy and I can't detect very many floral notes. However, on drydown, I Love Love smells like leather and Funny! smells like an old air refreshener. The lasting power is also poor. Cute packaging though.

Fragrances -Giorgio Armani - Emporio Armani Diamonds

Smells kind of heady. The first thing I thought of when I smelt it was a fizzy orange drink. Floraly, fruity AND woody. Moderately sweet too The drydown was rather powdery. A decent, nice perfume, just not my fragrance. Pretty bottle though.

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Paul Smith - Rose EDP
Jadetive 9/23/2008 7:30:00 AM
GORGEOUS. Definitely a rose scent (of course), but the scent of green tea + magnolia is quite distinct, and it makes the scent a lot more complex and comforting.

Love the pretty bottle, but not the scent. It smelt like food/some sort of curry on me. :(

Fragrances -Stella McCartney - Stella- Eau de Parfum
Jadetive 9/20/2008 9:19:00 AM
Why oh why.. I had such high hopes for this perfume, judging from the high ratings here. I thought I would like this since I love the Body Shop's Cassis Rose EDT. But alas. I guess everyone really does have their own preferred scent. The drydown smelt OK. But after walking around with it for half an hour, it gave me a headache. It smelt like powdery curry after half an hour. UGH. I'm sad it doesn't work on me. Such a pretty bottle!

Sunscreen -Estee Lauder - WhiteLight EX Extra Brightening Protective Base SPF 30
Jadetive 8/31/2008 3:34:00 AM
The product is packaged in an elegant looking white and blue container, with a gold cap. It's a purple, slightly runny cream that feels rather oily on application. I usually use this only around my eyes and on dry areas, partly because I don't want the rest of my face to be as oily. For me it just serves as an additional layer of sunblock. It's also rather fragranced, but the scent is not too offensive. Active ingredients include: Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Octyl Salicylate, Oxybenzone, Homosalate and Avobenzone.

Sunscreen -Neutrogena - Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 55
Jadetive 8/31/2008 3:20:00 AM
This sunblock tends to ball up if you accidentally rub your face after you apply it. Can sting if you have sensitive skin. And tends to melt off in streaks. Not cosmetically elegant. Definitely better sunblocks out there.

Tools -E.L.F. - Tweezers
Jadetive 7/22/2008 7:23:00 AM
The description on the back says: This unique slanted tweezer has been ergonomically designed for easy, accurate tweezing. Its professional quality stainless steel construction provides the user with a strong grip that will easily remove any unwanted hairs. This pair of tweezers kicks ass. I I LOVE it! As per the description, it really is able to remove the shortest of hairs. (I have another pair that I consider to be my HG as well. They're made by QVC and I find them at the local drugstore.) Would rebuy in a heartbeat.
