Lip Treatments -C.O. Bigelow - Rose Salve
hjjung 1/15/2011 5:39:00 PM
I wish this came in a tube!!! I really love this rose salve.. Great consistency, great price, great smell, and it's really moisturizing on my lips. It also leaves a healthy pinkish sheen on my lips. I just wish it came in a tube because it's a bit annoying to me to open the jar and having to dip my finger into the jar.. but I will buy this again. great product. :)

Cleansers -Nuskin - 180 Face Wash
hjjung 1/15/2011 5:36:00 PM
This is a creamy, slight foaming cleanser. I like that it comes in a tube, however it was painful to open the cap; it wouldn't flip open easily, and my fingers hurt from trying to flip the tube cap open. I use this as my morning face wash just to get rid of excess oil, but I don't use this when I really need to clean my skin because it doesn't feel like it cleanses my skin properly.. and it certainly does NOT remove any makeup one bit. The smell is a light orangey vitamin c smell, but nothing special..won't buy again.

Lip Gloss -NARS - Boogie Nights
hjjung 1/15/2011 5:32:00 PM
The color is a beautiful fuschia, deep purply plumy pink. The consistency is great and I love the color on my lips..however it tastes/smells horrible, so I don't find myself reaching for this as much as I should. won't buy again unless NARS decides to change the smell/taste of this lip gloss.

Lip Gloss -NARS - Giza
hjjung 1/15/2011 5:30:00 PM
First of all, this smells/tastes horrible, so I don't find myself reaching for this. The consistency is pretty good, but the color doesn't show up on my lips at all.. It looks like a clear lip gloss, which is pointless because the only reason why I bought it in the first place is because the color looked beautiful in the packaging. won't buy again.. ):

Crème -DHC - Q10 Cream Foundation
hjjung 1/15/2011 5:28:00 PM
It is okay. I prefer the Q10 liquid foundation over this since I don't need a light of coverage, and this felt very heavy on my skin, and it was kind of hard to spread out a small amount. I love that it comes in a tube, and I got this on sale from the DHC website, so the price was good. I won't buy it again since my skin could not breathe under this, but it covers up blemishes/pores really well. I wish it was available in more shades.

Lipstick -NYX - Narcissus
hjjung 1/15/2011 5:24:00 PM
This made my lips look very crusty. The packaging is good and the price is great so I won't complain, but I thought the color looked very cheap in person. won't buy this again.

Lipstick -NYX - Iris
hjjung 1/15/2011 5:22:00 PM
The packaging's good, the price is super cheap, but I won't buy this again.. It's way too frosty and shimmery on my lips, and it made me look ill. The consistency of this lipstick is very thin. I use this as a blush/highlighter, and it looks great so I will use this as a cream blush instead lol

Masks -Queen Helene - Mint Julep Masque
hjjung 1/15/2011 5:18:00 PM
Get $10 off of your first purchase using YEW608 on iherb.com! GREAT product. It sucks out all of the oil out of your pores, and you can actually see the oil absorbed on the mask after it dries. I don't use this too much because I have dry skin, but when I occasionally get small zits, this helps to get rid of those small breakouts. It's also a great treat for my skin when it feels a bit tired. I bought the Origins Clear Improvement mask before I bought this, and this is so much better than the origins mask. It's super cheap and you get a lot of product, so would buy this over and over again.

Liquid -DHC - Q10 Liquid Foundation SPF 15
hjjung 1/15/2011 5:15:00 PM
This is an okay liquid foundation. It's very thin and watery, so if you are looking for a heavy-coverage foundation, do not buy this; try the cream foundation instead. I got it for less than 10 dollars (I think) from the DHC website on sale, so it was a great buy and I won't complain about the price. It looks natural and it doesn't look like I'm wearing makeup, but I felt like my skin couldn't breathe and despite the watery thin consistency, it felt kind of heavy on my skin. (But every foundation feels heavy on me, so maybe it's just me. LOL) I would recommend this for people who don't need a lot of coverage. I don't have a lot of blemishes, but tons of redness around my nose and cheeks, and this foundation evened my skin tone very well. I took off one lippie because it's not that long-lasting.

Eyeliner -Tarte - emphasEYES Inner Rim Eyeliner
hjjung 1/15/2011 5:08:00 PM
I love that I don't have to sharpen this eyeliner, and the pencil is really really thin, so it's great because I absolutely hate pencil eyeliners that are way too thick for creating clean, thin lines. It's a great pencil liner. It doesn't smudge on my lids at all, but on the waterline, it does go away after some time, so I can't say that it does the job perfectly for the waterline. I would still repurchase because I think it's a great pencil liner for tightlining and lining my eyes.

Mascara -Tarte - Lights Camera Lashes
hjjung 1/15/2011 5:04:00 PM
The packaging is adorable and the ingredients are decent, but I didn't find anything special about this mascara, to justify the price. Not that it's crazy expensive, but definitely not worthy of its price tag compared to its performance. I've tried tons of drugstore mascaras that are much better than this. With light coats, it didn't have very noticeable effect on my lashes, but when I try to build it up with more coats, my lashes started looking extremely spidery. Dries out quickly too and starts flaking within a month of usage. Will not buy again.

Eye Shadow -Stila - It Girl Warm Trio 2007
hjjung 1/15/2011 5:00:00 PM
I wish this came with a mirorr, but I guess I can't complain too much since it was only $10. I bought mine from urban outfitters a couple months ago. Kitten is really pigmented, and it's a beautiful shimmering pinky color. The other 2 colors (chloe and lame) are not very pigmented and barely show up. Although I like the color range, I find that these eyeshadows get everywhere on my skin when I put them on my lids, and these eyeshadows somehow look like they're creasing when they're not. I was really excited when I got this, but I don't find myself reaching for this as much as I thought I would. I guess it's an okay eyeshadow palette. I won't complain since it was only 10 dollars and I think it's a really good deal.

Mascara -Clinique - High Impact Mascara
hjjung 1/15/2011 4:54:00 PM
I got this as a gift from a friend, and I think this mascara is okay. It lengthens and volumizes decently, but nothing amazing that a good drugstore mascara can't do. I can't say much about the price since I didn't buy it myself, but I think I would rather buy a good drugstore mascara if I were to purchase a new mascara. It is a bit clumpy, but not too much. My asian lashes are very short and gets hidden by my hooded eyelid, so I would have liked to see more lengthening. Overall an okay mascara.

Sunscreen -Jason Natural Cosmetics - Sunbrellas Facial Sunblock spf 20 (2010 formula)
hjjung 1/15/2011 4:47:00 PM
Get $10 off of your first purchase using YEW608 on iherb.com! I use this every morning as my moisturizer when my face is still wet and moist from the shower. I pat my face with towel very lightly, and put this on my skin. Just one pump is enough to cover my whole face, and it's really really creamy, which is what I love about this product. I have dry skin, and I haven't noticed any greasiness. The only thing that I don't like about this product is its packaging. I love that it has a pump, but I hate that I can't see how much product I have left, since the packaging is just opaque white plastic with the sticker label all over. If it came with a transparent, see-through plastic pump, I would really love this. But great product nonetheless! will buy again.

Moisturizers -Aubrey Organics - Rosa Mosqueta Rose Hip Moisturizing Cream
hjjung 1/15/2011 4:39:00 PM
Get $10 off of your first purchase using YEW608 on iherb.com! I am LOVING this!!!!! I don't know why, but I didn't expect much from this moisturizer when I first bought it. I think it's because whenever I read reviews for Aubrey products on makeupalley, the product reviews were not that great. I put this on every night after I wash my face, and my dry skin just drinks it up right away. It feels nice, velvety and silky on my skin. Some moisturizers for dry skin are way too rich and greasy, but this provides just the right amount of richness and my skin hasn't broken out or anything after using this. :) The smell is rosy, and it's not overwhelmingly strong, but you can slightly smell after you apply it. I also really love the texture of this cream; it's like whipped butter! will buy again and again as long as my skin behaves well with this. :)))
