Lip Gloss -Lancome - Juicy Tubes Pop ~ Fruity Pop
rated 5 of 5

This is the first Juicy tube I have tried. I received this as a GWP and I am so glad. I love it. It feels so nice and tingly and tastes like bubble gum and smells yummy too. Worn alone, it is a nice shimmery pale pink. Worn over my favorite lipsticks, it is translucent enough that the color comes through topped with that beautiful shine for perfectly kissable lips.

Lip Gloss -Smashbox - LipGloss *general*
rated 4 of 5

These are really pigmented for a gloss and they have no taste. They give just the perfect shine. Of course, they don't stay on long, no gloss does. I like them and will continue using them until they are gone but I doubt I would repurchase as these are really nothing special and I like to try new things.

Mascara -Lancome - Hypnose Waterproof
rated 2 of 5
nursedye 9/2/2005 12:06:00 PM

I have mixed feelings about this mascara. If you take the time to pull out the wand and wipe it off then redip and apply, and repeat this again for each set of lashes, you can get a pretty look. The first coat just looks natural. The second coat really brings out those lashes, that is, if it doesn't clump all up. Every time I wear this, it irritates my eyes because they feel like I have something stuck in them. This stuff does stay put. It is very difficult to get off. If you make any mistakes while applying this stuff, you are screwed. you have to redo lots of makeup

Lipstick -American Beauty - Luxury for Lips in Rose Wonder
rated 5 of 5
nursedye 9/2/2005 11:48:00 AM

I received this at Kohl's as a full-sized sample when I purchased other products. I think this has to be the most luxurious-feeling lipstick I have ever tried. My lips are so dry from all the antihistamines I take and this is so soothing. This is a pretty shimmery pink that would look good on anyone. Another thing I like about this is that it has no taste or smell. I hate lipstick that has a yucky taste, especially since I am constantly licking my lips with the dry mouth.

Lip Liners -Flirt - Draw Attention Lip Pencil in Funky Valentine
rated 5 of 5
nursedye 9/2/2005 11:40:00 AM

Flirt really has a great line of products from those I have tried so far. This liner is a pretty matte plum that looks great with lots of colors. It is creamy and glides on smoothly really defining the lips and keeps lipstick from running away. Has great lasting power as well. Will definately buy again which says a lot because I am a product junky who loves to try new things.

Lipstick -American Beauty - Luxury for Lips in Golden Violet
rated 5 of 5
nursedye 9/2/2005 11:25:00 AM

Eureka!! I have finally found the perfect lipstick. This Metallic plummy color is so beautiful with my light skin with pink undertones, dark brown eyes and dark blond hair. I was looking for a color and I described what I wanted to the saleslady and she took me to this. I asked for a plummy reddish bronzish brown and when I looked at this in the tube, I thought no way is this what I want. But I gave it a try and this is perfectly what I asked for. And it was at a reasonable pric. It feels terrific on my lips and stays for a long time. I'll be wearing this one frequently.

Eyeliner -Flirt - Look of Love Eye Pencil in Purple Rain
rated 5 of 5
nursedye 9/2/2005 10:55:00 AM

I just got this great eyeliner in purple rain. It is a dark plummy purple metallic color that is just beautiful on. It is so creamy and glides on sooo smoothly. In fact, it went on so smoothly that I just knew it wouldn't stay for long. But amazingly, after wearing it for hours and even through a midafternoon nap, it stayed wonderfully in place which is amazing since just about every eyeliner gives me racoon eyes except bb gels and some liquids. I can't wait to try this liner in other colors!! I am so glad that Kohl's has come out with this great line. It's a lot cheaper and the closest place to me that has MAC is an hour away while Kohl's is just around the block.

Eye Shadow -Flirt - Dreamy Eyes Eyeshadow in Goody Goody
rated 5 of 5
nursedye 9/2/2005 10:47:00 AM

This is the most beautiful plummy metallic color on my light skin with pink undertones, dark blond hair, and brown eyes. First I had tried Glamourazzi but it didn't have enough color to complement my dark brown eyes. This is perfect. Does go on smoother and more pigmented if you use a shadow base. Pair this with Purle rain eyeliner and you have a hit!!!

I love these pads. I have just used them twice and already my skin has shown a massive improvement. My skin is so much more radiant and clear. I will definately keep using.

Liquid -Merle Norman - Luxiva Lasting Foundation
rated 4 of 5
nursedye 8/31/2005 11:33:00 AM

I love the feel of this foundation very soft. it does a good job covering my few light brown scars from different hair removal products. I am a nurse and I work 12 hour shifts, so I need something that I can put on in the morning that will still be there when i get off work. I does have a very matte finish, so if you are going for the dewey look then this is for you. I usually only use this in the humid summers when my skin tends to be more oily. When my everchanging skin is drier this feels too dry and doesn't blend as well. I do prefer this over Revlon Colorstay because it gives you a little more time to work with it before it sets up.

Crème -Merle Norman - Total Finish Compact Makeup
rated 4 of 5
nursedye 8/31/2005 11:16:00 AM

Great foundation if you have a lot to cover. I only use it when my skin is going through one of it's horrible phases because it feel heavy to me compared to the sheer coverage stuff i prefer to use when I can. It does make your skin look beautifully flawless and has great staying power. Many of the girls I work with use this and would never use anything else. I am one of those always in search of something different in search of perfection.

Mascara -Prescriptives - False Eyelashes Plush Mascara
rated 2 of 5
nursedye 8/31/2005 11:06:00 AM

I ordered this from QVC and couldn't wait to get it to try it. I had such great expectations. I am very disappointed as my eyelashes seem to be falling out. It's an ok mascara that does provide some lengthening but no better than stuff I have purchased cheaper at Wal-mart. This is the first time I have noticed my lashes falling out. What a bummer!

Bronzers -Laura Geller - Bronze-N-Brighten
rated 5 of 5
nursedye 8/31/2005 10:56:00 AM

I love this stuff. I was skeptical when I saw it on QVC, but decided to try it anyway. I have a light skin tone and it warms it up without looking overdone. I have lots of pink undertones and it works well on my skin and definately doesn't make me look orange. It really brightens up my face. I love how it has all the colors. I often use the white a brow highlighter and the other colors for eye shadow. Great for cheek contour as well.
