Cleansers -LUSH - Angels on Bare Skin
monvai 5/20/2007 6:38:00 AM
HG Cleanser. The smell was strong, but a delicious combo of lavender and rose. It looks funky in the plastic tub but works fantastic. As most reviewers here have made comments on how to use it and etc, Ill elaborate on the results of using > NOTICEABLY soft, supple skin. Pimples, redness and cysts disappeared after 3-4 days of use. I know some people find it difficult to make it into a paste and all but I find the novelty quite fun and look forward to sniffing the tub and 'pasting' it in the mornings and before I go to work. I haev been using this cleanser with Tea Tree Water and Cupcake Mask. (which works fabulouso as well btw)

Shampoo -LUSH - Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo
monvai 2/20/2007 3:48:00 AM
Its like a dilluted, shampoo version of The Strokes, which has been continued :(. And it works great, and in similar form. It leaves wavy/curly hair controlled, and less frizzy. And smelling great. Given a choice Id purchase The Strokes, but since it has been continued, Ill purchase CSS again and again to keep my hair from 'pouffing' up in this tropical heat.

Masks -LUSH - Mask of Magnaminty
monvai 2/20/2007 3:45:00 AM
The best mask Ive ever used. It does look like chocolate chip ice cream, and smells like it too! When it goes on your face, its all minty and tingly. It takes about 10-15 minutse to air-dry, and then you scrub it off, using the black bits in a circular motion, leaving your skin glowy and clear and refreshed. You only need several swipes with your finger to cover your face, I dont layer it on thick. A light layer will do the trick. Its sort of like a clay, deep cleansing, exfoliating mask. Will repurchase again and again.

monvai 7/29/2006 7:29:00 AM
it is warm toned. Perfect for the smokey eyes look.I really like it. Exceeded expectations...i thought that it wouldnt be much different from my Revlon one, but the difference was there. Finely milled, soft colour. Worth the extra $$$s. NC30.

Eye Shadow -Bobbi Brown - Shimmer wash eyeshadow in Champagne
monvai 7/29/2006 7:27:00 AM
yeah I saw this, and I was thinking..yes lets use this as a highlighter for the brow as it is shimmery, subtle and not too 'out there'. so I bought it today, and now Im not too sure. I can't see it on my lids/brow bones.......I can see a slight shimmer, but thats it. Im not too sure if that was what i wanted... not exactly what I xpected I guess.

Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup with SoftFlex SPF 6 for Combination/Oily Skin
monvai 6/3/2006 10:54:00 AM
I love this product. It stays on matte for at least 6 hours, and the colours blend it perfectly. i have to complain about the packaging though. The bottle opening is way too big. Otherwise a perfect foundation.

Hair -LUSH - The Strokes
monvai 2/8/2006 11:24:00 AM
This is honestly the best product that the store Has. I know Ive said it before - read below. But everytime, EVERYTIME I thought I could move on to a cheaper product and STOP importing products from Australia/UK, I always come running back to The Strokes. Always. Ive recently given up the hope of changing. I have resigned myself to The Strokes and its unavailability in my country - have to order it in. Ive gotten so many compliments on my hair that I cant change it any more. To The Strokes - I am your most loyal and humble fan.

Eye Shadow -Laura Mercier - Eye Basics
monvai 2/8/2006 11:12:00 AM
Ive said below and Im going to say it again. This is really the best thing that ever happened to me in make up history. My main make up look is smokey eyes and nude glossy lips, so this eye basics really help me show the colours on my eyes. I would buy millions of eyeshadow and they never turned up like in the pan without Eye basics. Now, i can apply eyeshadows easily and they turn out beautifully on my eyes with Eye Basics. APply a little lip gloss and Im OFF!

Eye Shadow -Bobbi Brown - Eye Shadow in Blonde
monvai 2/8/2006 11:06:00 AM
I really like Blonde. Im NC40. Ive been looking for my staple grey-brown eyeshadow my whole life and I couldn't find any that looks JUST nice. JUST right. Blonde is medium grey-brown matte, that is wonderful for crease, and for contouring the area below your brow bones. Great for work as it is matte and natural. I use Laura Mercier's Eye Basics under neath it and the brown shows up so amazingly. Amazing.

Mascara -Maybelline - Volum Express Waterproof
monvai 1/31/2006 7:51:00 AM
I like it. I remove excess mascara from the wand before I apply it on my eyelashes for all mascara to avoid clumps, but this one definitely clumps less than usual. I used lash expansion before this. Its less clumpy and made my eyelashes look well, thick and full. I thought Id never replace my old one Lash Expnasion, but it turns out I was wrong. Volume Express rocks.

Lip Gloss -Chanel - Praline Glossimer
monvai 1/31/2006 7:07:00 AM
Hey, Thanks to MUA's, I have found the best lipgloss. This may even top my ex-favourite lipgloss from Pop Beauty. Good thing I have you guys to direct me to the right place. Its glossy and looks very natural. Consistency is perfect, not to runny but not too thick as well. Love it, can see myself buying again. But its about RM72 in Malaysia though, which is pricey but not too bad. Most branded lipglosses in msia costs that much anyway. Marked Praline/Giggle

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous Lipgloss - Nude Lustre
monvai 1/19/2006 10:09:00 AM
Hey, I wrote in before and commented previously but Id like to add on to my reviews. I really like this lip gloss because the colour shows up wonderfully nudish pink, with very high gloss on my lips. I heard reviews about Chanel's lip glosses, and I bought Giggle, but Im gonna revert back to this one. Its a lot better than Chanel's Praline/Giggle, IMHO. I would buy it over and over again. The texture is thick enough and not too watery. Lasts quite a while for the prices.
