love the smell~ not a grandma or pungent rose~ very sexy n not cloying at all~ but zero lasting power!!! I've never had problems with perfumes like this one before........

Sunscreen -Unlisted Brand - Mentholatum Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50 PA+++
Joyc25 7/15/2009 12:26:00 PM
This is now my favorite everyday sunscreen! one of the best pa+++ sunscreens! absolutely no white cast where others do! I've tried quite a few Jap sunscreens ( Anessa, Allie, Kiss Me, etc) I wouldn't use this for outdoors or for a long day cause it has some chemical block that will breakdown eventually~ I will use Kiss Me Daily Comfort SPF50 for that~

Cleansers -Unlisted Brand - Mandom Cleansing Express Moist
Joyc25 7/3/2009 5:49:00 PM
This is a cleanser in water form that doesn't need to be rinsed off afterward . Very popular all over Asia~ Comes in 3 version: Regular, Moist & Anti-aging. Supposed to remove everything in a jiffy!
well, it does remove sunscreen, foundation easily but it doesn't work on my Majorca Majolica mascara at all... so it's kinda useless for me~ so my only use for this is when I want to redo my makeup for the night~
this would be amazing for someone who doesn't wear WP mascara~ cause it does leave your skin refreshed and not sticky/oily at all~ I, myself, prefer to still rinse it off afterward just cause I am a dork~

Lotions/ Creams -Unlisted Brand - Bathed and Infused Body Lotion
Joyc25 6/15/2009 1:52:00 AM
even thought it's called a lotion but it's more of a cream texture for how thick it is~ holds scent well for a few hours~ very moisturizing for a lotion yet not greasy like a real cream~ sinks in fast~ gives a satiny finish~ I am more of a butter/cream kinda girl and I still like this a lot!
one thing I dun like is its packaging, the bottle is kinda hard to squeeze cause it's consistency~ thumbs up for the product though!

Concealers -NYX - Full Coverage Concealer Jar
Joyc25 6/8/2009 1:15:00 PM
I got this in Yellow and Porcelain. I've only tried Yellow but not Porcelain yet so I'll update about that later. I haven't touched it yet cause it looks a tad too cool for my NC15 skintone
The texture of this is wonderfully smooth and not drying at all compared to other cream concealers! doesn't cake and creases minimally~ it's less cakey than MAC Studio Sculpt cause it has a thinner consistency
this is a pale yellow shade that may give the reverse raccoon effect to some~ so do be careful with that~ but I really like this under a layer of skintoned concealer~ it covers really well~ even on my sick looking circles caused by plenty of partying til dawn every day.....
I am a concealer ho and this is definitely one of the better ones~ I'll compare it to CdP when I do try the Porcelain~

Fragrances -Jill Stuart - All Products
Joyc25 4/18/2009 2:46:00 AM
This bottle is so gorgeous that I got it entirely for that reason when I am not really in love with the juice itself! It beats all JS packaging hands down! oozing with princessy-ness! the juice itself it's your typical fruity floral~ but surprisingly it's a fresher kind~ not too cloying or too sweet~ very wearable~ a very everyday scent that you can't really love or hate~ just not very unique or memorable~

Concealers -Ettusais - Whitening Concealer
Joyc25 2/18/2009 5:59:00 PM
Gorgeous tube! and great price too cause it lasts forever and too long for me cause I wanna finish it up to use other ones......LOL
this does not rival up to CdP cause it's a tad creamier~ I have a lil bit of fine lines and the powdery finish of CdP is less likely to crease that way~ That's really the main difference or else they are truly similar to the point that some might be able to skip CdP~
one more thing is CdP's Ivory is yellower/beigey than Ettusais' lightest shade~ this one's a bit more peachy~

Fragrances -Escada - incredible me
Joyc25 1/8/2009 10:38:00 AM
this is really growing on me~ so much that I bought it~ it's a sexy gourmand~ not your usual fruity floral~ it's not super distinctive but sth in it makes it special enough to get it~ but I admit this can get a bit cloying so 2 sprays are max!

Eye Makeup Remover -Kose - softymo super point make up remover
Joyc25 11/2/2008 1:23:00 AM
Extremely gentle formula! but because I wear hardcore WP mascara (ie. Majorca Majolica) and so this takes quite a few swipes than I like~ still finding sth better~

Powder -Lumiere - Cashmere
Joyc25 9/7/2008 3:05:00 PM
Lovely product! medium coverage that controls oilies without settling in pores! even on those huge ones around and on my nose! gives that softfocusing lookin similar to silicone based foundations but without the glow~ more of a matte finish but without powderiness at all! oh~ forgot to mention how finely milled this is~ one of the lightest formulas without compromising coverage! amazinggggg!!

Mascara -Jane - Hi-Fiber Waterproof in "Basic Black"
Joyc25 8/17/2008 7:35:00 PM
I don't understand what's with all the horrible reviews~ I haven't tested it's abilities being waterproof/smudgeproof~ I'll update late about that but in terms of visual effects, this is not bad~ excellent lengthening abilities~ gives a very defined, fluttery look~ like you have a billion seperated lashes instead of the thick/clumpy look~

Eye Shadow -MAC - Solar Bits Pigment in SUNPOWER
Joyc25 5/22/2008 10:00:00 AM
Solar Bits: These are like VL Wet Diamonds with 10x more glitter but just as pigmented!
This is the most glittery and least pigmented of the Solar Bits~ Still decent pigmented but that's what I like about it~ It can be used on top of any e/s because of it's perfect neutral color to add glamour~ It's a warm champagne that is not too warm that even I can pull off~ and I don't look gd with golds and bronzes usually~ Very versatile on every skin tone! As for blendability, I agree this needs some work to blend~ But again~ it's all worth it!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Solar Bits Pigment in BLACK ORE
Joyc25 5/22/2008 9:47:00 AM
Solar Bits: These are like VL Wet Diamonds with 10x more glitter but just as pigmented!
This is love! My fave item out this collection~ It's a shimmery black pigment with tons of gold glitter~ It's truly the most pigmented glittery black e/s you can find out there that is not gray~ The pigmentation is the better ones from the other Solar Bits~ The most pigmented would be Bronzescape while Sunpower being the least pigmented~ Also, the gold shimmer doesn't change the e/s color~ Usually Black e/s base + gold shimmer makes the e/s look brown instead of black, you know what I mean? This shows up black and is very neutral~ Even for me, someone who don't pull gold well at all can wear! As for blendability, this ranges as the better ones too~ Say, Bronzescape being the most blendable and Sunpower the least~
This is not for the faint of heart! Only those who really appreciates shimmery shadow will be able to justify spending CAD23.50 on this jar of e/s that weighs about 1/2 the size of Pigments. Not to mention the massive amount of glitter fallout~ But for me the results are worth it~ a very YMMV thing!
