Lipstick -MAC - Shhh
db8diva 3/24/2004 4:36:00 PM
While I agree that this is a lovely sheer red, I wouldn't describe it as pink red. On me (PPP) it is a sheer brick red. It blends beautifully with MAC brick lipliner. As a matter of fact, MAC recommends this as a replacement color for their discontinued red brick lipstick.

I've been using this pencil in soft brown for at least five years. It deposits just enough color for a natural look. The trick is to sharpen it every time you use it and to apply with short, light strokes. I don't use many drug store products, but this is one I come back to again and again.

Lipstick -MAC - Holidazzle

This looks frightingly flourescent pink in the tube. I mean it looks like a Crayola crayon in "flourescent pink." But when worn it is the most subtle sheer shade of bright pink. I wear it on days when I want a just bit of color.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Mac Sushiflower

This is a gorgeous bright pink. It looks a little scary in the pan, but is much sheerer when worn. I use it with bare canvas as a base, paradisco as a wash, sushi flower in the crease to form an outer lid "V", dabble paint as eyeliner and either vanilla or pink opal pigment as a highlighter. It's so pretty.

Lip Treatments -Kiehls - Lip Balm #1
db8diva 1/10/2004 2:20:00 PM
This is hands down the best lip balm I've ever used. As a California girl, I'm not used to harsh winters. However, my job schedule gives me 7 weeks off every winter so I do a lot of travelling and usually to places with a lot of snow and wind. This is the only lipbalm that guarrantees that I won't have cracked and bleeding lips. I use it year round. I slather it on right before bedtime. It keeps my lips so soft.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Pigment in Dark Soul

I bought this pigment after much hemming and hawing. I am so glad that I did. It's a gorgeous dark gunmetal grey with a bit of shimmer. Wear it with Amber Lights in the crease and you get the most beautiful pewter and dark copper eye.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Portraiture Paint

Just got this shade today. I love it. It really makes my green eyes pop. I'd describe the shade as a light terra cotta or a deep bronzed peach. There is a tiny bit of shimmer. Not intense like Stilife, just enough to pick up light and add a bit of luminescence to the eye. Also, the oozing issue isn't happening for this one.

Moisturizers -Aveeno - Skin Brightening Daily Moisturizer SPF 15

This is my favorite moisturizer. It absorbs into my skin (very dry) really quickly and leaves a soft, matte finish. The trick with this one is to use it sparingly -- a pea-sized drop is really enough.
