Concealers -MAC - Studio Sculpt [DISCONTINUED]
mo141 8/3/2009 12:51:00 AM
So I'm only giving this 4 lippies because it is not completely perfect.... but it is the best concealer I have used yet! What is not completely perfect about it: The coverage is not quite as full as I would like. You can layer to get that full coverage, but you don't get it on the first swipe. Also, under the eyes, it can get into little lines easily, but just make sure you use a good eye cream before. What I like about it: Very creamy and blendable. Looks natural and not cakey. And the pot is going to last FOREVER!!!! :) mo

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Vert [DISCONTINUED]
mo141 7/12/2009 12:34:00 AM
If you are looking for an earthy looking green, a more teal-green, or any other type of green besides GREEN, don't buy this. Fortunately, I bought this expecting a crayon green, and that's exactly what this is. Even being a very spot on green green, it does have some dimension with the shimmer that is in it. The pigmentation is great, and with a base underneath (UDPP) it stays forever. :) mo

Blush -BeneFit Cosmetics - Dallas
mo141 7/11/2009 9:34:00 PM
Dallas is such a pretty color! Sometimes I use bronzer and blush together to get that kind of glow, and Dallas is just that: A bronzer and Blush in one. It is shimmery so if you don't like shimmer, I don't reccomend this. Also if you are very fair, this might make you look a little muddy. I'm about an NC25 or NC30, and this looks great on my skin. It gives a great glow and a sunkissed look. :) mo

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Oil Slick Eyeshadow
mo141 7/11/2009 5:22:00 PM
I got this shade in a palette, and it is the best black eye shadow I have. I don't really mind the glitter: If I use it as a shadow, I tap off the brush and that gets most of the glitter off. And if I use this as a liner, I don't notice any fallout of glitter on my face, so I don't mind it. I guess this is black, but it is really nice because it doesn't look flat and lifeless when you put it on your eyes. You can also apply it lightly for just a little shading, or darker for more intensity and you can apply it wet or dry. I personally use this mostly for a liner, but occasionaly I use it as a shadow. It works great both ways. :) mo

Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup
mo141 7/9/2009 7:51:00 PM
I've tried a few liquid foundations (mostly drugstore, one Arbonne), but I can't really remember what they were, and I really like this revlon stuff. I have Colorstay liquid foundation in Golden Beige, and it is an extremely good match. In MAC terms, I am NC25 ish (NC27 in Studio Stick foundation). It might become a little light for me later in the summer, but right now it is perfect. During the day, I do reapply powder once, but if I don't, my face never becomes overly oily or shiny. The coverage is great!: Medium-full coverage WITHOUT LOOKING CAKEY AT ALL, and this really does stay all day! I know that some people have trouble removing it, but I just use my normal skin routine, and it comes off fine. The only thing that I can criticize about this product is the lack of a pump! Pouring out the liquid onto a pallete or on the back of my hand wastes a lot of product. But this still deserves five stars for the product. Overall, I really like this and it is my favorite liquid foundation right now. :) mo

Lipstick -Neutrogena - MoistureShine Soothing Lipsheers [DISCONTINUED]
mo141 6/18/2009 4:59:00 PM
I have this in the color 30 Shimmering Blush: 1. I like the cooling effect. 2. This is basically my lip color but a little bit darker and pinker. Looks very polished and pretty. 3. Easy to use, I really don't need a mirror to apply it. 4. I bought this knowing that it would be more like a gloss than a lipstick but I wish it had more staying power. Also, this is just something I kind of like but kind of dont. I could go either way on any given day... hence the three lippies. :) mo

Skincare - Body -Bath and Body Works - Moonlight Path Body Spray
mo141 6/17/2009 12:33:00 AM
So, differently from what a lot of reviewers seem to think, I think this scent smells very powdery; almost reminds me of baby powder. I give it the two lippies because after wearing this for an hour or two, the scent does die down into a simple flowery scent, but it is still to flowery and powdery for me. :) mo

Treatments -Clairol - Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Leave-In
mo141 6/17/2009 12:29:00 AM
I think that some of the problems that people describe about this product are the result of using too much product. I have (SUPER) THICK hair and I only use ONE PUMP of the product. It smells really good, and if I only use one pump it leaves my hair soft and not dirty feeling. It has helped my split ends mend and it also helps prevent split ends. :) mo

Shampoo -Aussie - Cleanse and Mend
mo141 6/17/2009 12:19:00 AM
I have very very thick hair; but the strands are kind of a medium texture that is kind of rough. OK so the smell of this shampoo is AMAZING!!!! I like how it leaves my hair clean feeling but not dry, and I think it helps keep my hair moisturized and shiny. I always use either a Pantene or Aussie Three Minute Miracle Conditioner after this, so my hair is always soft. Overall I really like this, but I give it four lippies because I don't notice anything special. :) mo

Eyeliner -MAC - Powerpoint eye pencil in Engraved
mo141 6/13/2009 11:36:00 PM
Ok, so main the main thing I want with an eye liner is staying power on the water line (also smudge free). This looks great when just applied, but eventually on me it smudges under my eyes. I think I might try putting a teeny bit of blot powder over this to see if it helps, because I'm starting to think that maybe the skin around my eyes is oily. If anyone knows of an eyeliner that really stays on your water line, could you tell me, please? :) mo

Moisturizers -Aveeno - Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer
mo141 6/13/2009 11:30:00 PM
So my skin type is combination, dry-ish cheeks and kind of oily t zone. I tend to get oily throughout the day and I also tend to have flakiness where I break out (chin, between brows). I like this product a lot. 1. It is very moisturizing, but it doesn't make my skin oily. 2. Sinks in quickly, I don't have to wait to do my makeup if I am in a rush. 3. I like the scent. Some people don't, but I do. It doesn't bug my nose and I am pretty sensitive to different smells too. 4. The salicylic acid does not dry out my skin, but rather helps keep breakouts at bay. Yeah, it's a little pricey for drugstore, but I don't use even a whole pump. I'd say I use half a pump in the morning, half a pump at night. :) mo

Treatments -Philosophy - Never Let Them See You Shine
mo141 6/10/2009 2:03:00 AM
This is a pretty ok primer. If you are the kind of person who feels like you need a lot of primer, I wouldn't go for this one just because if you apply too much it can actually make your skin feel oilier. But if you just use a little bit, this makes your skin very smooth and it does mattify your skin, just not for very long. I still like the beneft That Gal primer better than this, but i will finish the tube. I give this a three because its not the best but its ok, but i'm sure there are definitely people out there that this will work wonders for. :) mo

Bronzers -Cover Girl - CG Bronzer in Golden Tan
mo141 6/6/2009 12:38:00 AM
I give this product a three because it's not the best product ever but it's pretty good. First, I like to use my bronzers for a little bit of color all over my face, and I don't like this product for this because of the shimmer. I do like this though for just color on my cheeks, almost like blush. It is very sheer color; the color payoff is not great so this is probably not a great product for deep skin tones. Overall this is OK but I wouldn't buy it again.
