Lip Liners -Chanel - aveline
martini2000 10/17/2003 4:27:00 AM
what a beautiful color for a lip liner!!! I don't know if it'a available in the States, too, but you better look for this one. It's a tad lighter than "nude", and works for every lip color (from glossimer in Volage to deep red or brown shades). Wonderful, I've been waiting for a shade lighter than nude for ages!!!

Eye Shadow -Christian Dior - Duo Couture in "Light Beige"
martini2000 10/15/2003 2:53:00 PM
I'm more of a lippie person, and as I have really thick long lashes, I always thought, mascara would be enough. but today, a whole new world was opened up for me *lol*. A SA put the Couture Duo from dior in Dior light (a powdery brown and beige) on me, and it looked like me, but better. It's still so natural, but my eyes seemed to shine. why haven't I turned to eye shadows earlier???

Powder -Kanebo - Total Finish
martini2000 9/2/2003 9:00:00 AM
The very first foundation my skin tolerates for more than 3 days. I'm absolutely excited!!! I just can't recommend it enough to girls with sensitive skin. It might be a bit pricy, but it's well worth it!! UPDATE: Didn't work for my sensitive skin in teh long run. After 10 days, my skin became red and flacky - very tired-looking...

martini2000 9/2/2003 8:57:00 AM
I am very dissapointed of this cleanser. It didn't leave my with the feeling of a well-cleansed face, didn't foam a bit, and also has a disgusting smell.

Masks -Lancome - Empreinte

I've tried numerous masks before, but this one CLEARly makes a difference. After only 5 minutes, I see a CLEAR difference in my skin. It feels squeeky clean, without being too harsh or drying. I really enjoy using it!!

Scrubs -Lancome - Exfoliance Clarte
martini2000 9/2/2003 8:52:00 AM
This is my first face scrub, and I'm pretty sure, that I won't have to look any further. I ust love tjis product. It gently exfoiliates my skin, leaving it soft and clean. My sensitive skin never experienced any rashes or red patches.

Treatments -Estee Lauder - Idealist
martini2000 8/18/2003 8:14:00 AM
hmm, I really wanted to like this. After I've heard so many raves for idealist, I just had to try it. It mattified my skin, and also made it appear flawless without foundation, BUT it absolutely dried out my skin, and also gave me tiny whiteheads.

Liquid -Lancome - Adaptive [DISCONTINUED]
martini2000 7/16/2003 12:25:00 PM
What a rant! When I first opened it, I thought only the packaging was cheap (no dispenser), but the stuff is so bad. I have clear skin, but hours after applying it, my skin tunrned red and started itching. the coverage is lousy. I usually don't wear foundation, but whenever I do, I'd like to see the difference - no luck here, it just makes your face look shiny. A really disappointing product from lancome. Be careful, if you've got sensitive skin!!!

Lip Gloss -Lancome - Juicy Tubes in Fraise
martini2000 7/13/2003 8:30:00 AM
This is one of the Juicy Tubes with more color. It almost like a glossimer! it'a a nice cherry colored and thick balm, which seems to keep my lips hydrated. I love to wear in at home, or at the beach. it's natural, but it adds the certain something to my lips...

martini2000 7/13/2003 8:27:00 AM
Pretty nice idea for the summer. the packaging is just gorgeous. the color taste it is like a bright rose color with lots of sparkles. I can never wear it without foundation and blush, cause i looks very unbalanced and garrish, but otherwise it's beautiful for the summer.

Lipstick -Chanel - Infrarouge- Avenue
martini2000 7/13/2003 8:24:00 AM
This is my mom's fave color, and as I have the same coloring as she does, I thought I might give it a try. I was so wrong. It came out on me a bright red. additionally, it was a very warm tone with a bit of brown in it. totally wrong for me, and, in my opinion, not a very flattering color for most women.

Lip Gloss -Chanel - Pin Up Glossimer [DISCONTINUED]
martini2000 7/13/2003 8:20:00 AM
It looks fab in the wand, but was colorless on my lips, almost like a Lancome Juicy Tube. I was very disappointed that the color was so diluted!

Powder -Clinique - Superpowder Double Face Makeup
martini2000 7/13/2003 8:19:00 AM
If you have sensitive skin, please stay away from this!!! It had the most perfect of all color matches for me in matte neutral, BUT my skin couldn't tolerate it. I didn't break out, or developed a rash really, but my skin surface became somehow uneven and felt itchy. I'm really sad about it, cause the color was so perfect, I could never tell, where I've already had foundation and where not, while applying it. otherwise, it would have definately become my hg foundation
