Lip Gloss -MAC - Plushglass in Wet Wild and Wonderful
ccunn13ca 10/29/2006 11:00:00 PM
This is my HG lip gloss! I think my lips look fuller when I wear it. The website describes the colour as a bronze with gold pearl. I love the buzzing sensation; it "wakes" me up! I do find it sticky, though. On a windy day, my hair will stick to my lips, which is annoying. Otherwise, everything about it is great!

Eyeliner -Annabelle - Eyeliner
ccunn13ca 10/29/2006 10:28:00 PM
This is my HG eyeliner! Comes in many colours, but I only use Mink, which I would describe as brown and grey mixed together. An essential part of my smokey eye looks! Doesn't crease on me at all, glides pretty smoothly, and I love the low price!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Club Eye Shadow
ccunn13ca 10/29/2006 10:13:00 PM
I purchased this colour as part of the Holiday 2006 Smoked Palette. The website describes this as a muted reddish brown duochrome with green opalescent shimmer in a satin finish. This colour is very pretty; I love it! I apply it on the outer lid using the 217 brush, blending it into the crease for a smokey eye.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Satin Taupe
ccunn13ca 10/29/2006 9:58:00 PM
I purchased this colour as part of the Holiday 2006 Smoked palette. The website describes this as a taupe brown with silvery bronze shimmer in a frost finish. I would call the shimmer purple instead of silvery bronze. I apply this in the crease using the 252 brush as part of a smoky eye. I like this colour because it darkens the crease just enough without looking too dramatic for work!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Eyeshadow in Malt
ccunn13ca 10/29/2006 9:38:00 PM
I purchased this colour as part of the Holiday 2006 Smoked palette. The website describes this as a soft pinkish-beige in a matte finish. I apply this only on the lid using the 213 brush as part of a smoky eye. On my NW45 skin it looks more beige than pink, which is okay with me.

Brows -L'Oreal - Brow Colourist
ccunn13ca 10/29/2006 9:20:00 PM
Too bad this has been discontinued. My eyebrows have been overplucked over the years (by others, not myself) and some hairs won't grow in certain places. I use the dark brown version of this to fill in those areas and make my brows look more "defined". I like that the brush is on the cap. I can't be bothered with the eye shadow highlighter on the other end, though.

Concealers -MAC - select cover-up
ccunn13ca 10/29/2006 9:00:00 PM
MAC always gives free samples of any pourable products, so I have never purchased this! The downside is that when I'm in a rush, I get clumsy with the little sample jar! I apply NW45 on my eyelid as an eye primer before putting on my eye shadows. Not only is it good in reducing creasing/fading, it also makes the colour on my eyelid stand out more!

Pressed Powders -MAC - Blot Powder - Deep/Dark
ccunn13ca 10/29/2006 8:43:00 PM
I apply this all over the eye area as a primer before putting on my eye shadows. It helps to reduce creasing/fading throughout the day. I don't use it on my face; I just can't be bothered!

Polishes -Essie - Naked Truth
ccunn13ca 10/1/2006 3:20:00 PM
This nail polish colour has many different looks to it. On the Essie website, this colour looks like a yellow-beige. In the actual bottle, it looks like a peachy-nude. Three coats on my toes looks like an opaque cool beige. One coat on my fingers over French Tip White looks like a sheer beige. The colour lasted for two weeks on both my hands and feet without chipping. Very nice for a "natural" French Manicure.

Fragrances -The Body Shop - Minteva Eau de Toilette
ccunn13ca 6/8/2006 8:41:00 PM
The alcohol content really irritates my nose, so I have to hold my breath while spraying this. The cap is annoying to take off and put back on when in a hurry. Otherwise, this is a really nice EDT. The website describes it as fresh and delicate. I agree that it smells very fresh. To me, it smells like mint and flowers that you would find in a field or a meadow. I mix this with Citrella for a crisp, sweet scent.

Fragrances -The Body Shop - Citrella Eau de Toilette
ccunn13ca 6/8/2006 6:49:00 PM
The alcohol content seriously irritates my nose, so I have to hold my breath when I spray this. The cap is annoying to take off and put back on when you're in a hurry. Otherwise, I like this. It's very tart. The website describes it as citrusy, energetic, light, and zesty. When I smelled the tester at TBS, I thought it was a bit TOO citrusy, so I mix it with Minteva. It really wakes you up.

Fragrances -Avon - Naturals Lime Blossom and Verbena body spray
ccunn13ca 6/8/2006 6:26:00 PM
The alcohol irritates my nose right after I spray this but fades away quickly. The lime smell is refreshing. I work two jobs, and I keep a bottle of this at my day job to spritz on before going to my evening job. I hope this scent doesn't get discontinued!

This is a good lotion. It's not too thick or thin. The lime smell is very noticeable. Hopefully, Avon won't discontinue this scent!

Gels/Soaps -Avon - Lime Blossom and Verbena shower gel
ccunn13ca 6/8/2006 5:45:00 PM
I really hope that Avon doesn't discontinue this scent! This shower gel is great. A little bit on a bath pouf makes lots of lather. The lime smell is very tart, but I like it. Wakes you up in the morning!
