Makeup Brushes -Essence of Beauty - General
melindamac 7/23/2007 6:05:00 PM
These are hands down the best value in the world for make up brushes. I own both a full set of brushes from both MAC and Bobbie Brown but these are the ones I reach for the most! They work just as well if not better then my high end brushes. If you want to build a set of quality brushes or you just want a good set to thow in you gym bag or suitcase these are the way to go!

Mascara -Christian Dior - Diorshow Mascara
melindamac 3/12/2007 9:28:00 AM
Ugg I can't believe this has such good ratings. I have been meaning to try this forever, snd I was so let down by this one! It truly did nothing special at all for my lashes. There are far better mascaras out there! This one was not good as Fibre Lash, or at least 10 other mascaras in the world. Luckily I got this for free or I would have taken it back. On the plus side I liked the rose smell so I gave it a 2

Eye Shadow -Bobbi Brown - Eye Shadow in Espresso
melindamac 3/11/2007 9:23:00 AM
This is as close to an HG as it gets for me. It is just what the name says. The perfect espresso color, an intense dark brown that is perfect as a eye liner (wet or dry) and and on my eyebrows. I really love this color! I can use it in so many ways. This is a color that will always be in my collection. I have 2 so I don't think I will ever run out of it. but if I ever lose one or run out of one I will RUN out to replace it! DDD MAC NC50/NW45, BB Almond

This is a great every day mascara. You get full seperated lashes that frame the eye and look great. I love this stuff. I also like the shape of the tube. It's cute and does not take up alot of room in my bag. I'll be buyibng this again and again.

Bronzers -Bobbi Brown - Bronzing Powder
melindamac 12/17/2006 8:59:00 PM
This is a great bronzer for a DDD. Most matte bronzers don't show up on me, NC50/Warm Walnut. But this is great product. I have both Dark and Deep. Deep is cooler and Dark is warmer. I love Dark with BB Honey lipgloss for a quick summer look. I can't believe it took me so long to buy these! But I will repurchase again and again if I have too.

Stick -Bobbi Brown - Foundation Stick
melindamac 12/17/2006 8:51:00 PM
I love this stuff. I have been using it off and on since I was in college. that was way back in 94'. I have changed colors a few times over the years, I went from Walnut to Almond back in the day. Now I go back and forth between Warm Almond and Warm Walnut. I love this under my eyes and around my mouth, then I take was left on the sponge and blend out the rest of my face. I then brush on my Covergirl Clean powder under my eyes and I'm done. I love that you can use this for sheer coverage and as a concealer. It's esp great for travel.

Powder -Cover Girl - Tru Blend Powder foundation [DISCONTINUED]
melindamac 10/8/2006 9:16:00 PM
I just got this today in Soft Sable it so far I think it's ok. It may be just a touch ashy. I wish it had more yellow in it. I don't why Cover Girl thinks all people with dark skin have blue undertones. That said it feels nice and light when applied with a big fluffy powder brush. It gave a decent coverage I don't need alot because my skin is quite clear already. I just like it to look polished. try it in the morning and wear it all day and see if it turns a weird color on me. I'll update on this product later in the week. update Yuck I can't take the blue grey undertones in this.

Bronzers -L'Oreal - Glam Bronze Bronzing Powder - Cannes After Dark
melindamac 10/3/2006 9:52:00 PM
I love this bronzer. DDD (nw43/nc50) This looks very frosty and orange in the package but is applies like a warm glowy dream with a sllight shimmer. Most bronzers don't show up on me but this one is perfect. I just look healthy with a subtle bronze glow, not like a orange disco ball. Just bronzed and pretty like an Essence magazine model!!! I bought this from a cosmetic store in Downtown LA that specializes in discountinued items. I tried it on my hand and kind of liked it. but when I got it home and tried it on I was beside myself. It's the bronzer I have been looking for forever!! I'm so glad I bought 2, they were only $5 each. When I go back to LA in the next couple of months I will have to stock up these babies!

Pressed Powders -Cover Girl - Clean
melindamac 9/28/2006 8:49:00 PM
I used to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product when I was in college. Soft Sable and Bronze Glow were the perfect shades in the early 90's when they introduced a darker range of colors. It was a beautiful red brown color with a hint a yellow. It evened out my skin perfectly. With just a little concealer under my eyes, I was ready for the day. Then for no reason at all they changed it!!! Bronze Glow is discontinued and Soft Sable is now a horrible grey brown that looks very ashy and dirty on the skin(Yuck!):( So I stopped using it. Sadly, though I have tried every brand out there, I have never found another powder whose texture and color I liked better. BUT there is a happy ending to this story. Yesterday I was shopping in the fashion distict in downtown LA. I happened upon a giant cosmetic store full of make up including many discontinued brands and colors. Imagine my joy when I saw my old favorites Bronze Glow and Soft Sable in the old packaging!!!!!!!!!! I did the happy dance in the store. I whipped out my credit card and bought out their stock. All 20 of them!!!! I am now set for years and years to come. Luckily they were only selling them for $2.50 each. So I still had money left to spend on clothes and shoes I am one happy girl!:) I would give it 5 but since the colors I like is no longer sold in stores. I dropped it to a 3.

Concealers -Posner - cover cream
melindamac 7/24/2006 11:39:00 PM
This product is FANTABULOUS!!!! I have used a lot of concealors and I must say I am amazed at how well this works! The colors are excellent not too red or orange. It is oil free and matte when applied to the skin. Also it's highly pigmented, you only need a tiny bit and it covers undereye darkeness completely. Plus it lasts all day! I use this under my eyes and top it with MAC Select Sheer Pressed powder or MAC Blot using my MAC #150 powder brush. This has become a staple in my makeup bag!
