Eye Shadow -Bobbi Brown - Long Wear Cream Eye Shadow in Malted 
liz91 6/12/2011 2:02:00 PM
I originally gave this 5 lippies, changed it to 2 lippies, now I'm changing it back to 5 lippies. I thought this was creasing on me, but it turns out that you have to put on a light coat for it not to crease. If I do one light coat, wait awhile, then put another light coat over it, it won't crease. Malted is a matte cream shadow. On me, it just shows up the same color as my skintone (I'm an NC25 for reference). These cream shadows seem to hold the color of whatever powder shadows I apply over them better than a regular primer. There is .12 oz of product in this compared to .17 oz in a MAC paint pot.

Eye Shadow -Bobbi Brown - Long Wear Cream Eye Shadow in Cement

This is a light taupe (beige/gray) matte cream shadow. I originally gave this 5 lippies, changed it to 2 lippies, now I'm changing it back to 5 lippies. I thought this was creasing on me, but it turns out that you have to put on a light coat for it not to crease. If I do one light coat, wait awhile, then put another light coat over it, it won't crease. I feel like the idea of matte cream shadow is genius. These cream shadows seem to hold the color of whatever powder shadows I apply over them better than a regular primer. There is .12 oz of product in this compared to .17 oz in a MAC paint pot.

This is a whitish/light pinkish matte color cream shadow. I originally gave this 5 lippies, changed it to 2 lippies, now I'm changing it back to 5 lippies.

This is a brown matte cream shadow with a rosy-color undertone. I originally gave this 5 lippies, changed it to 2 lippies, now I'm changing it back to 5 lippies.

Eye Shadow -Bobbi Brown - Long Wear Cream Eye Shadow in Heather
liz91 6/5/2011 3:19:00 PM
This is almost the same color as Urban Decay's Heist eye shadow. This is a purple/gray matte cream shadow. I originally gave this 5 lippies, changed it to 2 lippies, now I'm changing it back to 5 lippies. I thought this was creasing on me, but it turns out that you have to put on a light coat for it not to crease.

Loose Powders -MAC - Magically Cool Liquid Powder in Honey Rose
liz91 5/28/2011
I bought this in the color Honey Rose. The color Truth & Light didn't show up on my skin. It is awesome (it does feel cool when applied to the skin) and looks beautiful as a highlight on my NC25 skin. I use a MAC 130 brush to apply it, then kind of blend it in a little with my fingers. It does go on kind of shiny and discoballish, so you have to kind of sheer it out. But I love the container, the color of the powder, the coolness, all of it! It is unique, and I always love when MAC does something really unique. I would repurchase (except that it's limited edition, so you can't).

Lip Gloss -NYX - Mega gloss- Sponge Cake
liz91 5/26/2011 10:56:00 PM
The reviewer below who described this as a rosy brown is very accurate. It is too dark for my liking. But the NYX megashine glosses are my favorite out of any brand. The cherry flavor is my favorite!

Lip Gloss -NYX - Mega Shine Lipgloss in Juicy Cherry
liz91 5/26/2011 10:51:00 PM
I think this is a very wearable gloss. It is not red on your lips like it is in the tube. It is kind of like a watered-down version of red, sheerer with just a hint of red. I feel it's appropriate for someone who doesn't want a whole lot of color on the lips. Because it's not a color I will probably wear much (I wear more peachy colors), I am only giving it 3 lippies. But the NYX megashine glosses are my favorite lip gloss out of any brand. Love the cherry taste!

Lip Gloss -NYX - NYX 113 French Kiss
liz91 5/26/2011 10:47:00 PM
Agree with reviewer below! It is so frosty! It is really not appropriate for the current trend in lipstick/lipgloss, which is non-frosty. Because I feel this color is not wearable for me, I will not repurchase.

Lip Gloss -NYX - dolly pink
liz91 5/26/2011 10:45:00 PM
This is a fuchsia colored gloss. Because it is so bright and pigmented, it just doesn't suit my coloring. But I love the NYX megashine glosses. In fact, they are my favorite gloss out of any brand. This color just didn't appeal to me.

Lip Gloss -NYX - Mega shine- Copper Penny
liz91 5/26/2011 10:43:00 PM
These glosses by NYX are my all-time favorite, but this color just did not suit me. The reviewer below was very accurate when she described it as a rosy-red color. I feel the color was too strong and dark for me, but I do love most of the NYX megashine gloss colors!

Lip Gloss -NYX - Mega Shine Lip Gloss - Beautiful
liz91 5/26/2011 10:33:00 PM
This gloss is true to the name--beautiful. It is a light to medium pink color that is pigmented and opaque. I always love the cherry scent of these megashine glosses. Megashine glosses by NYX are my favorite brand of gloss. I have about 30 of them in different colors. You can wear this gloss alone or on top of a pinky lipstick. It looks good either way. This is a very wearable color. I would repurchase.

Lip Gloss -NYX - Mega Shine Sugar Pie
liz91 5/26/2011 10:30:00 PM
This is a dupe for Revlon Peach Petals gloss. Since NYX megashine glosses are my favorite, I would buy this Sugar Pie instead of the Revlon. The cherry taste is great, plus the opaqueness/quality of the gloss is great. Yes, it is nude. I usually wear it over a nude lip or use it to lighten/tone down a darker or brighter shade of lipstick. It works great for that purpose. It is like a magical cosmetic in that it can help to transform other colors and make them look better (kind of like Creme d'Nude lipstick by MAC). I will definitely repurchase.

Lip Gloss -NYX - Lip Gloss with Mega Shine- Pop
liz91 5/26/2011 10:27:00 PM
NYX megashine glosses are my favorite gloss out of any brand, but this color in pop is the worst lipgloss ever! It is basically a clear base with orange pieces of glitter all through it. When you put it on, you can feel the glitter on your lips (it is a chunky feel), and it can't be good to be ingesting these glitter bits!! I quickly tossed this in the trash after one wear. I thought it would be just a shimmery orange gloss, but it wasn't.

Lip Gloss -NYX - NYX 111 Lollipop
liz91 5/26/2011 10:22:00 PM
The Megashine glosses by NYX are my favorite out of any brand. This color is beautiful. The second pic above on the poster's lips is very accurate as to color. These glosses go on opaquely. I love the cherry taste, I hope NYX never changes that! I wear this over various coral or peach-colored lipsticks to bring out the color more. This and Smokey Look are my favorite colors of the Megashine gloss.
