Eyeliner -Cover Girl - Outlast Smoothwear All-Day Eyeliner - Onyx ] [DISCONTINUED]
CatVeronica 10/27/2008 5:38:00 AM
Yet again, another mediocre black eyeliner that goes on smoothly and evenly, yet smudges and smears within 10 minutes of applying. After using the crappy Wet 'n Wild Idol Eyes, I thought I would take it one step up to CoverGirl, but no, there's not much difference. And the annoying thing is, this eyeliner isn't even that cheap. The search for my HG continues...

Lipstick -Estee Lauder - Pure Color Lipstick in Hot Kiss
CatVeronica 9/27/2008 5:46:00 PM
Hot Kiss is a gorgeous berry-plum color that is very flattering with my pale olive skin. It's a perfect color for fall, and the best part is that I got this as a GWP. If you have dark features, I'm sure this lip color would look great on you :)

Lipstick -Estee Lauder - Pure Color Lipstick- Tiger Eye
CatVeronica 9/24/2008 10:09:00 PM
I got this lipstick as a GWP, so I decided to finally try it today. On me, this lipstick is pinkish-brown shade with gold shimmer. Looking at the lipstick in the tube, it looks like it'd be much more gold. I think this is a nice lipstick for my coloring, which is a weird pale-ish olive complexion. It's definitely a nice choice for fall.

Makeup Brushes -Estee Lauder - Eyeshadow Brush
CatVeronica 9/24/2008 10:02:00 PM
This is a nice, dainty little brush that does an okay job of applying eyeshadow. It's a bit TOO small for my taste though. The bristles are quite nice, however. There are definitely better brushes out there, but I'm not going to complain cause this was a GWP.

Blush -Flirt - Peek-a-Blush Sheer Powder Cheek Color in Heartthrob
CatVeronica 9/24/2008 9:58:00 PM
I bought this because I heard it is very similar to NARS' Orgasm. It's a bit pinker, but almost there. It's a nice, peachy-pink blush with a hint of gold shimmer. It goes on very smoothly, and gives you a nice glow. The packaging is kinda cool, kinda not, and the brush that it comes with totally sucks. But otherwise, this is a great blush and one of my favorites that I own.

Eye Shadow -Wet 'n' Wild - MegaEyes eyeshadow in "Naked" [DISCONTINUED]
CatVeronica 9/24/2008 9:54:00 PM
This is a very neutral eyeshadow color that I usually apply as a base. It is dirt cheap, and a little goes a long way. It has a slight, slight shimmer to it, so it looks great alone or with other shadows.

Mascara -Clinique - High Impact Mascara
CatVeronica 9/24/2008 3:38:00 PM
You know, I've been getting this mascara as a free sample for YEARS, and I finally decided to try it the other day. I really like the brush, and how it coats each lash in one full swoop. My only complaint is that it didn't make my eyelashes glossy at all, and because of that, I gave it 4 lippies. Otherwise, it's a great mascara!

Concealers -Wet 'n' Wild - Cover All Liquid Concealer - Medium - 813
CatVeronica 9/24/2008 3:35:00 PM
I have the CoverAll Liquid Concealer in Beige. Unfortunately, this concealer is poor. It is impossible to blend in and it's much too liquidy. However, I do love the sponge tip.

Eyeliner -Wet 'n' Wild - Idol Eyes
CatVeronica 9/24/2008 3:33:00 PM
I bought this in Italy and I absolutely love the concept of this eyeliner. I love retractable eyeliners, and this one is great because it has a built in sharpener AND smudger. However, I don't think the smudger is even needed considering that after I apply the eyeliner, it's smudged within 1-5 minutes. For some reason this liner does not stay on my eyes very well. My eyeliner is in Midnight Black, and it is a nice rich, black color. However, this just doesn't cut it for me in terms of quality.

Misc Beauty Tools -Unlisted Brand - Trim Slanted Tip Tweezer
CatVeronica 9/24/2008 3:23:00 PM
I must have the older of the two that the previous reviewer is talking about. My TRIM tweezers are great, I've been using them for years. I have both a slanted tip, and a straight tip pair. I like the slanted tip better though. The do a fine job of yanking out unwanted hair! :)

Powder -Jane - Be Pure Mineral Makeup
CatVeronica 9/24/2008 3:17:00 PM
This is not a good product. First of all, the second time I used it, I tried untwisting the cap and instead, the part with the foundation twisted off and I ended up spilling over half of the powder that was in there. Secondly, it smells really bizzare (my mom thought it smelled like beer). Third, it sometimes leaves little bright orange spots on my face, even though the powder is not orange in the least (I have it in 01 Colorless). And lastly, it does a pretty crap job coverage-wise because the puff makes it hard for the foundation to come out, and hard to get at spots like by my nose. **EDIT** Like many of the other reviewers on here, I decided to just rip the sponge off and use a powder brush to apply this foundation. This works much better and you can actually see that the powder works effectively. It has good coverage and takes away shine.

Other -Unlisted Brand - Colgate MaxFresh Toothpaste
CatVeronica 9/24/2008 3:12:00 PM
This toothpaste is too adorable with it's name (Kiss Me Mint), the pinkish color, and the mini breath strips. It works great, has a nice taste, etc. My only complaint is that I wish the mint was slightly stronger.

Deodorants -Unlisted Brand - Sure Deodorant Invisible Solid Unscented
CatVeronica 9/24/2008 3:09:00 PM
I bought this deodorant after reading about it on a cosmetic safety database, and it is one of the safest deodorants on the market. With this being the case, and the fact that this deodorant really works well, I'm going to say this is my HG deodorant!

Moisturizers -Olay - Complete Defense Daily UV Moisturizer SPF 30 - Sensitive Skin
CatVeronica 9/24/2008 3:02:00 PM
Olay Complete Defense SPF 30 Sensitive Skin is both a great moisturizer and sunscreen. I used this during my trip to Europe over the summer, and it did a great job. It has a pleasant smell, it's not greasy, and I really like the bottle. It even worked well as a body sunscreen for my guy friend. My only complaint is that it's quite a small bottle for the price.
