Polishes -Essie - Sugar Daddy
kimbacub 4/11/2006 12:02:00 PM
Thanks to MUA; Sugar Daddy is my new HG nailpolish! I had been using Mademoiselle but it was recommended in Allure and InStyle and the perfect univeral color. Well, I've discovered that there is no "univeral" color; and that most people are medium skinned toned. I'm a fair skinned PPP and alot of the Essie color look too white on my already white hands! Sugar Daddy is just perfect........a cool toned pink. The pink actually shows up on my nails. With 2-3 coats, my nails are a pretty sheer pink color with a very, very lavender undertone. Mademoiselle has a white undertone. If you are fair skinned, you will LOVE Sugar Daddy!!

Blush -NARS - Orgasm Blush
kimbacub 4/11/2006 11:55:00 AM
I am not a big fan of this color; and I think if you are a PPP with a red undertones, you will not be happy with this blush either. There is no way that a blush that looks great on J. Lo is going to look great on a fair skinned blonde. It is just too orange. Thanks to MUA I purchased Milani luminous, a much superior product and color for me. Orgasm is orangy/peachy........Luminous is pinky/peachy. ( and about $20.00 cheaper) I love NARS packaging, but I just cannot find a blush color from them that I like.I bought this due to the rave reviews in Allure and InStyle; obviously, the majority of the population is medium skin toned, not fair skinned.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Lip Glide-Rose Lacquer 120
kimbacub 4/10/2006 12:52:00 PM
I'm addicted to this lip gloss and always return to buying it after I make the rounds of trying everything else. I'm a fair skinned blonde with blue eyes and this pink-gold with shimmers just looks so nice on. I don't have any problem with the smell at all! If you are a PPP, try it.

Lip Gloss -LORAC - Lip Polish in Delicious
kimbacub 4/5/2006 2:17:00 PM
This is such a great color for me......a fair skinned blonde. It gives my lips a great mauve-pink shimmery shine. I was afraid this would be too dark from the way it looks in the bottle; which is almost a dark,coppery brown. Luckily, I was able to test it in Sephora. I'm on my third bottle......I just keep gravitating back to it when I run out because the color is so pretty. I'm wearing it in my profile photo!

Blush -NARS - Sin
kimbacub 3/28/2006 11:27:00 AM
I really wanted to like this blush because the color is beautiful, but alas, it is just too dark for a fair skinned blonde. No matter how little I applied, it made me look almost goth. I did love the sparkle though. On darker, less ruddy skintones it surely looks gorgeious....just not for the pale girls.

Blush -BeneFit Cosmetics - Benetint
kimbacub 3/28/2006 11:24:00 AM
I really wanted to like this since I had heard so many great things about it. I purchased the pocket pal at Sephora. I did not like this product for several reasons. Number 1: the color. It's just too red for my fair skinned blonde w/ red undertones complection. Number 2: the application. Be prepared to walk around with your fingers stained red. Would not buy again. Luckily, I was able to swap it.

Conditioner -Unlisted Brand - Modern Elixirs - Refining Conditioner
kimbacub 3/26/2006 12:47:00 PM
The upscale salon where I used to go used this product on my hair. It is a leave in conditioner with THE most fabulous smell. It leaves your hair smooth and satiny to the touch. I even bought a tube for my sister who has dry, thick coarse hair and she loved it. It retails for $15.00 for a 6oz tube; rather expensive! I have been lucky to find it on Ebay for a fraction of that price.

Lotions/ Creams -Bath and Body Works - Tutti Dolci - Sugar Wafer Moisturizing Souffle
kimbacub 3/25/2006 12:37:00 PM
I also love this smell. My 7 year old son says it smells like a toasted marshmallow! It really is not a "souffle" though, more of a lotion. I like to put on my Gold Bond Cream after showering to combat dry skin and then layer this on top. My skin smells beautifully perfumed all day and into the night. It lasts very long. I find myself smelling my arm all day at work because I love the scent so much!

Lotions/ Creams -Gold Bond - Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Lotion
kimbacub 3/23/2006 10:47:00 AM
Hands down; the best body lotion I have ever used in my life. I cannot believe that my dry, flaky legs feel like satin after I use this. I love the thick, creamy consistency...it is not a runny lotion. Your skin will love you for purchasing this!

Eye Shadow -Stila - Dune
kimbacub 3/23/2006 9:07:00 AM
I am a PPP and I can tell from the reviews here that this color is for the fair skinned girls out there! My eyelids are almost transpararent with a light bluish/pink color; and DUNE is the perfect neutral base to cover them. It is a hint of color. I'm a nurse and I don't like to go to work looking very made up. This eyeshadow is perfect for a natural, pretty, long lasting non-heavy make-up look. Also, the main reason I love DUNE is that it is not a frost; it is matte. I'm 43 and I do not like shimmers or frosts on my eyelids. Another big plus for DUNE!!

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous mascara
kimbacub 3/23/2006 8:36:00 AM
As a PPP with white eyelashes, I have been wearing mascara since I was 13. I have tried them all; from drugstore brand Maybelline to Lancome, MAC & Estee Lauder. Finally, I tried L'Oreal voluminous and I have found my HG in mascaras. You will NEVER experience clumping again. The mascara is not "wet" and will not cause your eyelashed to spike either. You will be left with thick, lustrous lashes. My only con is that the tube doesn't last that long; but since it only cost $5.75 for a tube; I don't mind buying more frequently!
