Eyeliner -MAC - Teddy eye kohl
CheckyDoll 8/29/2007 5:31:00 PM
One of my fave eye liners ever! I've gone thru about 3 of these. This color totally makes my green eyes POP....and I never say that cuz I hate that term. hahaha But this really does do that for me. I imagine this color looking great on just about anyone. Took off one lippe since the staying power kinda sucks but for this shade it's worth that.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Nymphette lipglass
CheckyDoll 8/29/2007 5:27:00 PM
I'm on my 2nd tube of this stuff and while I love it I've realized that I just cannot wear it on it's own. It's too gold & thus too warm for my coloring & even kinda washes me out if used alone. But if I use it over a lipstick or another gloss for a little depth it looks absolutely gorgeous!

Brows -Maybelline - Expert Eyes Twin Brow & Eye Pencils
CheckyDoll 8/29/2007 5:21:00 PM
I used these for years, I mixed 'blonde' & 'auburn' to get the right match. And while they worked just fine I've moved on to using powder & wax w/ an angled brush for a more natural look. These work great though in a pinch & are very cheap.

Eyeliner -MAC - Phone Number eye kohl
CheckyDoll 8/29/2007 5:18:00 PM
I love the colors of the kohls but the lasting power on them suck. Phone Number is a great one to use when stark black is just too much. But I usually only use this to line my bottom inner rims...but again, they don't last long.

Eyeliner -MAC - Fluidline Eye-Liner Gel in Blacktrack
CheckyDoll 8/29/2007 5:15:00 PM
Fabulous stuff! This works so great & is so easy to use with an angled brush to create a perfect liquid liner look. This is also the best product I've found for tightlining. I took off one lippie since IMO they could last a little longer. Most say they wear like iron but by the end of the day it usually smudges a bit in the inner corners for me...not too terribly noticeable though.

Eyeliner -MAC - Fluidline Eyeliner Gel Graphic Brown [DISCONTINUED]
CheckyDoll 8/29/2007 2:07:00 PM
I bought this after my very long search to find a color similar to Teddy eye kohl. I LOVE Teddy but the staying power of the kohls suck so I went in search for an e/s or another liner to replicate the color of it. This was the closest to Teddy I could find & I'm quite pleased. It's not exact; Teddy goes on a bit darker but GB def. stays on longer & the color is gorgeous as well. Also works well for tightlining & lining the bottom inner rims. EDIT: I just wanted to change my rating from 4 to a full 5...not sure why I only gave it a 4. This also works beautifully as a base for dark, smokey brown e/s colors. Check out my pics!

Blush -MAC - Sheertone in Pinch O'Peach
CheckyDoll 8/29/2007 1:55:00 PM
Love this blush...one of my faves! Although it is not very peach at all...more of a pale pinky color. Oh well, still works great for me & I reach for it often.

Eye Shadow -Jane - White Lies Eye Zing
CheckyDoll 8/29/2007 1:47:00 PM
I'm surpirsed the reviews on this aren't better....this is a great shimmery (but not overly so) white shadow. Not too sheer IMO but I generally only use it as a brow highlighter not an all over wash. Great for inner corners too.

Eye Shadow -Jane - Eye Zing in smoke signals
CheckyDoll 8/29/2007 1:43:00 PM
Wow, this must have been discontinued, hardly any reviews? I've had mine for *years* though. Anyway I have to disagree w/ the review below. Teal green? Not at all! This is a darkish, matte grey w/ slight blue undertones....I love it & it's perfect for a smokey eye that's not all sparkly. I often pair it w/ Hi Ho Silver & White Lies....fab combo! Too bad it's been discontinued (?) I would have def. repurchased if I had to.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous Lipgloss - Nude Lustre
CheckyDoll 8/29/2007 1:36:00 PM
This is a decent, average gloss. It's a nude caramel on me and pretty sheer. It's okay, not HG material for me by any means but I use it now & then. I wouldn't buy again just cuz there are better nudes out there for me.

Eye Shadow -Jane - Hi Ho Silver Eye Zing
CheckyDoll 8/27/2007 11:48:00 AM
Wow! I'm surpirsed I have not reviewed any of my Jane shadows....they are so great! I usually buy only MAC but Jane & Milani are fab ds alternatives. *Anyway* Hi Ho Silver is the most perfect true silver IMO. Silver is a hard one for me to wear (NW20)....it usually looks either too white or too blue, this is just silver! Looks great as a wash all over lids paired w/ a darker grey in the crease for a deep smokey look or even works in the crease w/ a lighter color as a wash for a softer, lighter smokey eye. Super verstile.

Lip Liners -MAC - Whirl
CheckyDoll 8/23/2007 1:41:00 PM
I love Whirl! It's similar to Spice but not orangey like Spice...that one just did not work on me. Whirl is a lovely neutral pinky brown (but not too brown IMO) color to use w/ most any shade of l/s.

Eye Shadow -Milani - Antique Gold #17
CheckyDoll 8/23/2007 1:36:00 PM
Since this is my first review of Milani e/s I'll start with saying these are of wonderful quality...especially for the very low price! Antique Gold is a very pretty deep khaki/green/gold color, to me it's similar to MAC Sumptuous Olive, maybe a tad darker. Very nice for creating a dark smokey, greenish eye.

Eye Shadow -Prescriptives - Fringe
CheckyDoll 8/23/2007 1:06:00 PM
I've had this shadow for years & I can't believe I never wrote a review! Anyway, I adore this color! It's a dark brown/bronze with bronze shimmer/sparkle. It okay to use on the lids or crease but IMO using it like that makes it a little muddy looking. The best way to use it is as a liner wet. It really brings out the bronze shimmer like that yet it still looks natural if you're going for that look. Def. a staple for me. Too bad it's disc. per the reviewer below. :(

Blush -New York Color - Sutton Place Peach 656A
CheckyDoll 8/23/2007 11:32:00 AM
I bought this on a whim at CVS one day since I had been casually searching for a peachy blush. This may not be the perfect bright, pure peach blush but it's still great. It's a little more brown & very neutral. Packaging is a little bulky & ugly but it just stays in a drawer anyway so it's not a very big deal. I've been very pleased w/ the majority of all the NYC things I've tried.
