Lipstick -Fusion Beauty - Liquid lipstick
whitemamacita 5/5/2008 9:00:00 PM
Well as many said I wish they made this in a different kind of packaging. Yes too much can come out so easily and they don't give you very much to begin with. I do like the more color that is given than the gloss and I think these last a bit longer on my lips than the gloss does. Do my lips look good with this on YES - but I don't see any major WOW bee stung lips or anything like that. I do not have very full lips, one thing I wish I could fix and Lipfusion products have helped me a bit in that department but nothing major. I think since using lipfusion my lips have become slightly fuller and healthier but no miracle. I will continue to use until something better comes along. I bought the color of Bunny and like it very much. I also snagged some on ebay in naked and two other colors for way under retail. I always go in sephora to buy first (in case I want to take it back because I do not like it) then if I do I go on the hunt to ebay and find the items for cheaper. I think the price doesn't justify the amount you get of this product though.

Hair Styling Tools -T3 - Tourmaline Domed Duality Straightener and Curler
whitemamacita 4/3/2008 9:21:00 PM
Would I buy this thing agian, HECK NO! This was a peice of junk and the worst hair straightener I have ever had. It didn't curl or straighten my hair what so soever. Also whatever kind of curl of straight I got my hair looked dull and crappy so not impressed with this at all. Now I have purchase the T3 Boost Heat Seeking Liquid Iron Booster recommended by a SA at Sephora and last minute impulse buy at the counter and I used it one time and like the results and felt it protected my hair very well. Not a condition but I think it does at protection and shine when you are going to use the iron. Just use a small amount though too much could make things feel a bit goopy. Before I full review on that one I am going to use it again this SAT when I am going out dancing and going to curl my hair with my GHD IV pink styler, THAT IS A GIFT FROM GOD, seriously ladies put the cash out on the GHD you will see and feel the difference instantly and like the restults from use of it, trust me. I was using a CHI before and thought highly of that but this one the GHD is so much better and makes the CHI literally blow, so just bite the bullet and buy one of the new ones. I got the Pink 1 inch IV style MK4 I think. And it is great. Package I got has a information CD along with carrying case and clips and a roll mat to set iron on if needed. WACTH out for EBAY, there are way too many fakes and I wouldn't even attempt it, I got mine from a well known stylist and the package I bought would of retailed for $255 but I got it with shipping from her thankfully for $179.00, so still not cheap but saved some money and now that I know these are the best it is all I will buy even if they cost a car payment....lol

Styling Products -Ted Gibson - Beaitiful Hold Hairspray
whitemamacita 3/25/2008 10:53:00 PM
I must say this is the only product I really really LIKE from his line. I tried all others and you can see what I wrote about those but I like and will rebuy this hairspray. This SMELL IS SO GREAT but the hold is very flexible and natural and when I say that I mean this is the most flexible and I feel no stiffness at all when I spray it onto my hair in that area. But saying that it does seem to hold, but very slighly so if you are looking for more of a strong hold this won't work. But I love the smell and I wear my hair very natural and like it to be soft. If I wear my bangs which I am growing out in a barret I have to use my johnanthan hairspray just on the part I am holding back as this like I said is a very light hold, but I love it and will repurchase, wish I either got more product for the price or the price was less though, expensive for the amount you get.

Treatments -Kate Somerville - Blemish Be Gone [DISCONTINUED]
whitemamacita 3/25/2008 10:33:00 PM
I purchased this for the occasional breakout that I get, that time of the month or whatever and IT WORKS GREAT to dry up those blemishes. Whithin a couple days they are gone, much faster than anything else I have ever used. Price isn't too bad as I am sure this size will last a long time, eventhough not sure on that as now my two teenage kids have been using it because it works so well. For $22.00 can't beat it to help clear up the blemishes, which I can thankfully say I don't get many anymore because I have changed my whole facial care line to Kate Somerville, IT ALL ROCKS!

Foundations -Perfekt - Skin Perfection Gel
whitemamacita 3/18/2008 9:48:00 AM
I hate to say it but I really like this product. I walked past it forever every time at Sephora because of the price tag and I use it as a primer before my mineral makeup. Well I finally caved and paid and bought it and I must say I really do like what it does to my skin. My makeup goes on much smoother, looks better longer thoughout the day. It feels smooth but not overly smooth like most silicon primers are, I don't like that. Also the color is subtle and great. At first I got it in the Luminesce but I am taking it back to go up one color as it does go on very sheet and I think the hint of a darker color will be better especially since I will be using this on days I don't wear any makeup at all as it does balance you skin out. Doesn't really cover anything but does balance it out and help a bit and to me is less heavy than a tinted moisturiser, so I will be buying again despite the high price, I mean they could at least drop the price like $10 to $15 buck IMO!

Styling Products -Ted Gibson - Tame It Shine Lotion
whitemamacita 3/18/2008 9:44:00 AM
Sorry but I have to change my vote on this line, I TOTALLY AM IN LOVE WITH THE SMELL, but after using this product for a little over a week I found that my hair felt like it had product left on it, this is from the shampoo, conditioner, and leave in I am all using. And another very strange thing is I have highlighted hair that never looks brassy and all of the sudden my gorgeous highlights were starting to look very brassy and dull. I did a deep shampoo of my old Aveda, which I am back to now and have always liked and can tell difference in my hair right away, had to be this line. Sorry Ted Gibson the smell is awesome and I still love the hairspray and will buy again but everything else I am taking back to Sephora for a return.

Blush -Tarte - Natural Swirl Full Blossom Cheek Stain
whitemamacita 3/15/2008 9:24:00 AM
I guess I am the minority here, I didn't care for this product. The idea itself is great as I love the natural blush but this color did not show up on me at all and the staying power of the Tart blushes are not good on myself. They never stay on, after just an hour I look in the mirror and see nothing. Also the color of this does not come up on me and I am not really tan or anything like that. I would have to layer it on and then it wouldn't stay on. I also do not like the way it never dried and always has that gel feeling on your cheeks. I tried to put finishing powder on after using this and maybe your not supposed to do that but it just stuck on my cheeks and that is a problem for me as I touch up throughout the day as I get oily in the t zone at times. This blush just isn't for me even though it seems many like it. My skin and Tart blush just do not mix. I tried the Laura Geller Just Pinked cheeck stain and LOVE IT, it is working out for me perfectly.

Blush -Laura Geller - Just Pinched Cheek Gel
whitemamacita 3/15/2008 9:20:00 AM
I really was looking for something that would give you a natural color and I find that most powder blushes do not and I tried this one and LOVE IT. I have tried other staining blushes but most the color was off or I didn't like the staying power or application was hard. This worked great. I used this in Sephora and loves the color and than this morning again and it looks as if I have been pinched and blushing. I really like this one. I did try the Tarte gell blush and the staying power stinks and the color hardly shows up, didn't like. Also did not like the way it sat on my face and never dried, see my review on that, but this is worth a try. While everything doesn't work for everyone and there are many L Geller things I have tried and don't like, I like this one, a hidden treasure!

Styling Products -Aveda - Air Control hairspray
whitemamacita 3/10/2008 5:19:00 PM
Sorry but my smell senses cannot deal with the smell of this hairspray. It feels okay going on, is a little bit mattifying I think but did harm me in that department. It was perfect control, not overbearing but not whimpy but I cannot deal with the smell of it. Remember before someone on here once to bash me for saying this, but everyone has a different sensitivity to smells. This one was a no go for me. I didn't even like the smell a little at all. It was annoying to me and reminded me of a pinesol or a pine smell, way too much too me. I even tried to pawn it off to my daughter but when she wore it one day (she didn't care much for it either) I couldn't manage smelling her. I could smell the hairspray a mile away and it gave me a sour sense to my stomache. Now the rest sits in my bathroom as NOONE is allowed to spray or wear this stuff as I cannot stand the smell. Sorry to those who love it but the smell is just not for my nose and would not buy it you are sensitive to smells because this one is stron and will stay with you all day and others will be able to smell you even once you've become a bit used to it and wonder why you smell funny.

Styling Products -Jonathan - Finish Control High Shine Flexible Hairspray
whitemamacita 2/20/2008 11:32:00 PM
I like this hairspray as I like the aerosol ones and this one is huge but the price tag is a KILLER! I wish it didn't cost so much, but it lasts as I don't use too much of in. It does add some shine and all. The other hairspray I liked was the Fekkai flexible hold one but that one is a price that hurts most also, the smell of the fekkai is awesome but i think you get more for your money with the Johnathan and also i think that Fekkair has a more stiff feel. So I would repurchase unless I find something else I like better that comes out.

Mascara -Bourjois - Volume Clubbing
whitemamacita 2/20/2008 11:28:00 PM
I bought this mascara and did LOVE THE BLACK COLOR IT GAVE, but on the downside it was sorta hard to apply without clumpung, aquires a bit of work. It did stay on without any racoon eyes at all and the black color lasted through out the day without a problem. But what happened and maybe I am just sensitive to something in the product that makes it stay on so well - is that when I go to take it off which does take some extra time and work to get it off, but hey it is waterproof and a selling point saying that it will stay on through this and that so you should expect that, so I was willing to deal with it but it irritated my eyes after I would wash it off, didn't while I was wearing the mascara but when I washed and had to work it off my eyes it would make my eye area pink and irrated so i had to take it back to Sephora. Loves the stay and the black color though, think, the wand could of been made a bit different.

Cleansers -Fresh - Soy Face Cleanser
whitemamacita 1/1/2008 8:38:00 PM
This is the best cleanser to remove makeup that I have found so far. Many that I try are too sensitive around my eye area or don't get the makeup off easily and whatnot. I have bought this twice and inbetween then I have used other things but this really works the best so far. I just wish it wasn't SO EXPENSIVE! The price is rediculous but obviously I pay for it, it just works to well. I do only use it to take makeup off at nighttime cleanser in the morning I use something else but this works great and you do only use a small amount so it does last for some time.

Fragrances -Fresh - Lemon Sugar
whitemamacita 1/1/2008 8:33:00 PM
I liked this perfume and think that the smell is very unique. My husband does like it, it isn't his favorite but he does notice when I am wearing it and I have had others comment on it as well. I have had one bottle for some time now and wear it off and on but will repurchase once I am out.
