Foundations -Make Up For Ever - HD High Definition Foundation
vickio92 2/16/2011 12:11:00 AM
I will not be using this as an everyday foundation because it does tend to make me look made up and it is very expensive. I have this in 110 and it is the only shade light enough for my skin that I can buy in town. As such, I will repurchase, as it does cover imperfections nicely.

I have the blush in vintage peach. It is very pretty with a bit of shimmer in it. I love how it has a sealer so that hte loose powder does not go everywear. This also gives me a sunkissed look. And, a little goes a long way. It is NOT CHEAP, at least here in canada, it was almost $50 for a very little container. However, I love it so much, I will probably repurchase

I have this in light, as I have a very fair complexion. I was so pleased that it was not too dark, as I usually have to order my foundation special as I am so fair. It sets beautifully and lasts all day. The only caution I give is do not apply it over bare naturals blush it vintage peach - it combines to make a bronze powder (I know, wtf right?). It lasts all day long. A little goes a long way!

Eyes -Just for Redheads - GingerRed Brow Stick
vickio92 2/15/2011 11:16:00 AM
I have this in gingerAubrun. It is very dark so it has to be applied very lightly, and you have to remove some of the product. However, after, I love it. It looks natural and is the only brow stick that matches my hair. I am going to try it in gingerRed to see if that will be light enough for me. But over all, solid, good product

Mascara -Just for Redheads - Naturelle Mascara
vickio92 2/15/2011 11:12:00 AM
I have this in ginger Red. I love the colour. But the packaging on the naturelle sucks. It doesn't seal well in the tube. Who puts a round brush in an oval tube? Apparently, JFR. And worst of all? Some how it manages to get the mascara all over your hands. How it does this, I do not know, but I have to wash my hands and the mascara tube and wand after using it. Also, it clumps up on the rim of the tube and dries there into a play dough like paste It's really too bad, because I like that this mascara is liquidy, so you can apply many coats before it dries. Also, it doesn't really clump. It's not so water resistant like it says (over the wicked one of my eyes got a little watery and I looked like I had been beaten as I had a big red ring around my eye). I will not be purchasing naturelle again, but I do love the colour, so I will purchase it in their studio mascara, because that one is better quality, or perhaps their new waterproof formula, as it looks similar to this colour (although at $18.99 I could just get the Dior Diorshow in chestnut which is also lovely and comes in a waterproof formula).

Mascara -Just for Redheads - Studio Mascara
vickio92 2/15/2011 11:08:00 AM
I have this is gingerAuburn. It is one of their better mascaras, far better than naturelle. The colour is lovely, not too dark, nor too light on my medium lashes. It is more brown than red, so usualy use one coat of my ginerRed and then one coat of gingerAuburn. It looks lovely with taupe eyeliner. However, thepackaging is crappy. The brow brush falls off (plus, why do you need an eyebrow brush on mascara?). The wand is hard to use and it ieasy to accidently get the product everywhere when you are applying it. I will buy it again, but I do wish the package quality was better

I have this HD Foundation in 110. The only foundation I have found light enough for my pasty skin. Once it is applied it makes my skin feel so soft and fresh. The price is a bit steep: I paid $46 at sephora for it. Yikes! However, it's the only light shade I can buy locally. I guess that is what it means to be a ginger

Mascara -Quo - Miraculous Lash Mascara
vickio92 2/9/2011 11:28:00 PM
I love this product. I had been using define a lash in brown for years, but the stopped making it a few years ago and I have been bouncing between mascaras for a few years now. Thank-you shoppers drug mart for this. It comes in coffee bean, a warm brown that does not turn black. It looks very natural. I love the plastic wand since it doesn't clump. I highly recommend this for redheads and very fair people. No raccoon eyes!

I like this colour. It creates a nice contract on my copper coloured hair. It also suit my colouring and freckles. It definitely makes my lips pop, and it feels so good on.

Mascara -Hard Candy - Lengthening Mascara (All Colors)
vickio92 2/1/2011 8:53:00 PM
Goopy and clumpy. The brush/wand sucks! It tends to clump all of my lashes intoone very dark, very thick eyelash. You can not put more than one layer on. I have thick, long lashes, so I can't really wspeak for that, although it did add colour.

.This is my favorite mascara. It doesn't flake, or clump. It comes with this BEST wand/brush. I have it in very black for evening wear and brownblack for daytime use. Now if only they made a decent lighter colour for daytime wear on a redhead.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast Luxe
vickio92 2/1/2011 1:08:00 AM
I bought this in Black Cabernet. This picture it gives on the package to display the colour of the mascara shows it has a deep and dark auburn colour. I thought that was great, because I am a redhead, kind of a light golden auburn, and it is hard to find something with red hues in it, and also something light enough that it won't drown out my face (my eyelashes are incredibly blonde). When I put it on, even after a few coats, it was a medium brown with no reduces what so ever. I think this would be a great colour for a very fair blonde with naturally light eyelashes, as it wouldn't overpower the face. However, it has some downfalls. One, if you put more than one coat on ( I did 3) it gets VERY clumpy. Two, throughout the day it flakes. So all in all, Black Cabernet would be a great colour on a fair blonde, if only it wasn't flaky

Eyeliner -Annabelle - Kohl Pencil in "Chestnut"
vickio92 1/31/2011 1:12:00 AM
As a very fair skinned, freckled redhead, this eyeliner is great for me. It's not to dark and doesn't make me look like I am trying to go goth like most browns and blacks. The only thing that would make it better would be if it came in one of those twist tubes so I don't have to sharpen (yes, I am lazy). Now if only I could find a mascara as light.
