Eye Shadow -NARS - Nepal
Bernadette 3/2/2005 2:51:00 PM
This is okay, nothing special. Muted pale pink. I have to give it a few extra sweeps for it to show up, but it's a pretty color. I wouldn't wear it if I was trying to impress anybody, but it's a good, basic color for work or if you're going for the natural look.

Primer/ Corrector -NARS - Makeup primer

Got this as a sample and will definitely be purchasing full-size soon. Smoothes skin, keeps makeup looking fresh, and lasts all day.

Blush -NARS - Color Wash in Blow-Up
Bernadette 3/2/2005 2:47:00 PM
Reddish brown liquid tint that blends smoothly and gives a nice fresh, dewy look. Although it's only March, I'm planning on this being my "Of course I don't wear makeup on the beach, that's silly, this is my natural glow" blush.

Lotions/ Creams -Jergens - Skin Firming Moisturizer
Bernadette 3/2/2005 2:44:00 PM
Of course we all know that nothing eliminates cellulite, but this product comes real close - no lie. If you use it the way you're supposed to use it - every day for 8 weeks, you will start to see a slight (temporary, of course) difference. At least I did, anyway. It might just be the circular rubbing motion, or it might be the actual product (or both), but either way I definitely think this stuff is worth its drugstore price.

Love, love, love this shimmer lotion. It smells FANTASTIC and leaves a nice golden sheen. This is one of the few drugstore items I use - a definite repurchase!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Pigment in Pink Opal
Bernadette 3/2/2005 2:39:00 PM
This is SO pretty. Shimmery white that flashes pink. I love to use it as a wash with virtually any other color in the crease! Great staple, goes with most colors and is so pretty and unique.

Powders -LUSH - Silky Underwear Dusting Powder
Bernadette 3/2/2005 2:37:00 PM
Hmm, not exactly sure what this is supposed to be used for, I am assuming whatever any other powder is used for. I don't like to use it after the shower only because I like lots of moisture, and powder just sucks that right out. But I do like to use powder in the summer to keep myself clean during the day, so hopefully it will come in handy then :)

Moisturizers -Origins - NIght-A-Mins Cream
Bernadette 3/2/2005 2:33:00 PM
I sometimes get a little flaky skin around my eyelids so I got a sample of this, and it works great. But then I discovered Aquaphor, which took the flakes away completely, so I switched over :)

Treatments (Eye) -Origins - No Puffery
Bernadette 3/2/2005 2:31:00 PM
This actually works. I got a sample of it from the store and was amazing at how quickly it de-puffs. I sometimes get lymphatic drainage which causes my eyelids to temporarily "hood," which I can't stand. No Puffery actually takes down the swelling and makes them look normal again. Yay for No Puffery!

Blush -Stila - Cruise To Cairo Blush Duo
Bernadette 3/2/2005 2:29:00 PM
I got this in a swap a long time ago and still use it almost every day. I love the look of "pinky bronze" or "bronzy pink" so this is perfect for me, since I can control the amount on either side, depending on whether or not I want a more pink or more bronze color that day. They mix together beautifully and blend well, and look even better with a tan.

Treatments -Christian Dior - Dior Abricot Creme for Nails
Bernadette 3/2/2005 2:27:00 PM
I don't think this does anything. I haven't noticed a difference in my cuticles. Plus, it's really sticky and waxy and annoying to get off your fingers.

Highlighters -Becca - Aphrodite Pressed Shimmer Powder
Bernadette 3/2/2005 2:25:00 PM
This is really, really pretty. A tiny jar of loose gold shimmer that adds a nice highlight to almost any blush color. Would probably repurchase, but there is so much product I might not have to.

Lip Gloss -Philosophy - Kiss Kiss Kiss Kiss Lip Balm
Bernadette 3/2/2005 2:24:00 PM
My sis gave me a Philosophy package for Christmas which included this lip balm. It's okay, nothing special. It smells good (like cake or something) and the color is pretty (white in the tube, sparkly pink on the lips), but it feels kind of grimy and doesn't last long or feel moisturizing.

Palettes -Trish McEvoy - Sweet Dreams
Bernadette 3/2/2005 2:22:00 PM
I'm in love with this palette. They say all 3 colors can be used on lips, eyes, and cheeks, but 2 are too sticky to be anything other than a lipgloss. Still, the colors are gorgeous (a pale milky shiny pink and a shimmery cocoa nude), even when blended, and what appears to be a dark champagne blush is so pretty and blendable. A little bit pricey but definitely worth the money.

Eye Shadow -Stila - Convertible Eye Color
Bernadette 3/2/2005 2:20:00 PM
Oooh, I love this eyeliner so much. I have it in Onyx, a black-as-night liner with a pure shimmery white eyeshadow. It makes the absolute best smoky eye look for going out when combined and smudged properly. I would definitely repurchase, as this is my new sexy smoky eye staple.
