Mascara -L'Oreal - Double Extend Mascara
nikki_nikki 11/26/2007 1:08:00 AM
I really like this mascara for a more dramatic look. The white primer really thickens and lengthens my short, asian lashes. To avoid clumping, I usually dip the wand several times in the tube to get the excess mascara off before applying. Great product for a bargain!

Powder -MAC - Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation
nikki_nikki 11/25/2007 8:58:00 PM
I wear MAC Studio Fix powder/foundation for several years now. In the beginning this powder does make my pores look bigger. To avoid this from happening, I apply a light moisturizer first, then use the MAC 187 brush to apply the powder with. This gives me a nice, flawless look. NC 30 matches my skin perfectly. I find the studio fix color looks a tad lighter than studio tech NC30

Lip Liners -Mary Kay - dusty pink lipliner
nikki_nikki 11/24/2007 1:41:00 AM
I don't see all the hype in this lip liner. Reminds me of Wet n' Wild 666 lipliner. I could see why it would work on many lip colors, but since that I have small, thin lips I would prefer MAC subculture lipliner because it makes my lips more full.

Mascara -Clinique - Naturally Glossy Mascara

Nice mascara for a natural, daytime look. However, I could find cheaper mascaras that works just as great so I wouldn't purchase this product again.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Lash Out
nikki_nikki 11/23/2007 11:02:00 PM
Good quality mascara for the price you pay. It does clump a bit and stays on all day. To reduce the clumping, I usually pump the wand in and out several times in the tube to get the excess mascara off. It does a good job at extending my short, asian lashes.

Makeup Brushes -The Body Shop - Face/ Body Brush
nikki_nikki 11/21/2007 3:40:00 PM
Nice, soft, fluffy brush, but I don't find it very effective for applying makeup. I rarely use this. I only use it for taking off the excess blush and powder if I overapply.

Highlighters -Estee Lauder - Tom Ford Face Gloss
nikki_nikki 11/20/2007 4:04:00 PM
I have this in Coquilee 01. I bought it from the outlets for $28. It adds a nice, sheen, glow before wearing blush, powder, foundation. I wear this before MAC studio fix powder and my powder doesn't look cakey or dry. I use either a foundation brush MAC 190 to apply this product with. It's very sheer, with subtle glitters that doesn't look like you have glitter on your face.

Makeup Brushes -MAC - #187 Duo Fiber Face Brush (Stippling, Skunk Brush)
nikki_nikki 11/19/2007 1:37:00 AM
Very good brush for liquid/cream foundations, powders, and blushes. It sheds sometimes when I'm applying makeup on my face. I especially like to use this brush for powder makeup such as MAC Studio Fix powder foundation.

Lipstick -MAC - Viva Glam V
nikki_nikki 11/17/2007 8:50:00 PM
Great lipcolor. It's a pinky beige. I purchased this with MAC subculture lip liner and Viva Glam V lipglass. I don't think the lipglass makes much difference, it just intensifies the color and add a little more shine. I wouldn't buy the lipglass next time. Anyways this is a good lip color if you're doing a smoky eye look or wear bright blush colors. I am NC 30 and have small lips. I usually like to wear natural lip colors to make my lips appear larger and this color seems to work on me.

Crème -MAC - Studio Tech
nikki_nikki 11/17/2007 8:38:00 PM
The best compact foundation for me and the color matches my skin perfectly. Af first, I used the makeup sponge that came with the foundation, but the sales lady told me to use makeup brushes for an even application. I apply this with MAC 190 foundation brush, then I even out my skin with the 187 brush. Looks like my skin has been airbrushed and people always compliment me that I have nice skin, even though I have a lot of freckles. I always wear foundation with blush, lipgloss, and some eye makeup otherwise my face looks bland.

Crème -Maybelline - Instant Age Rewind Cream Foundation [DISCONTINUED]
nikki_nikki 11/17/2007 8:31:00 PM
There seems to be a lot of positive reviews on this product. The foundation looks thick and fake on my face. I prefer MAC studio tech NC30. I've tried soo many drugstore foundations and none of them could match my skin tone, except for MAC. I swear not to buy drugstore foundations ever again and stick with the pricey MAC foundations.

Lipstick -Clinique - Colour Surge Butter Shine- Shhh
nikki_nikki 11/17/2007 2:22:00 AM
I really like this lip color If I"m doing a smokey eye look and wearing bold color blushes, like MAC Melba. Then I could tone the color off with this lip color because it mimics my natural lip color. This is a very natural looking lip color, I would recommend this lipstick if you want to achieve a "no makeup" look. I would purchase again, but always on the look out for new lip colors from Clinique and their gifts with purchase.

Lipstick -Clinique - Different Lipstick - Guava Stain
nikki_nikki 11/17/2007 2:13:00 AM
This is my lipstick staple when I'm wearing natural makeup colors like MAC peachy keen blush and beige/brown eyeshadows. I always wear Guava Stain with MAC clear lipglass on top to enhance the color. I have small lips and have extremely hard time to find the right lip color, and this is one of the few lipsticks I really like. I'm NC30.

Moisturizers -Vaseline - Petroleum Jelly
nikki_nikki 11/15/2007 7:49:00 PM
I use Vaseline petroleum jelly to take off my undereye makeup with a Q tip. My eye area is dry after taking off makeup, so I use this. It is so soothing. I have problems with my eyeshadows looking dry, so I use vaseline very lightly, then use my usual eye primer, and last apply my eyeshadows.

Eye Primer -Clinique - Touch Base for Eyes in Up-Lighting
nikki_nikki 11/15/2007 3:47:00 PM
I really love this product. I am asian w. dark brown eyes and this gives me a subtle, smokey look. I just pat Uplighting lightly on my lids, add black mascara, and eyeliner. This would be a makeup staple if I'm traveling because it comes in a nice, small compact.
