Primer/ Corrector -NARS - Makeup primer
prillita 10/25/2007 11:36:00 AM
I got this as a sample from a sephora purchase I made a while back. I have the one with SPF. I really don't mind it! It's not amazing or anything, it basically just feels like I'm putting another layer of moisturizer on my face, but it does keep my skin moist. I will not be buying the full size tube, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone really needing a good base to keep making from coming off, but as a moisturizer and skin protectant, it's alright!

Fragrances -Lolita Lempicka - Lolita Lempicka
prillita 10/25/2007 11:33:00 AM
I'd really give this product 3.5 lipsticks if I could . . . Basically because I really have to be in the right mood to wear it. Sometimes the smell of it makes me a little ill, and other times I really like it. If you're into very girly, sweet scents, you'd probably like this. I love the packaging! It's so cute. I was almost tempted to by the other fragrance by this brand because the packaging made me want it!

Fragrances -Burberry - Burberry Classic EDP
prillita 10/25/2007 11:29:00 AM
I'm on my 3rd bottle of this perfume right now. I absolutely love this stuff. I never get sick of smelling it! It's nice and mellow, relaxing. I like that it's not too feminine. I don't like fragrances that are too girly. It's also not too young or too old for me. I've never been a fan of the sickly sweet flowery / fruity fragrances aimed toward younger consumers, nor the powdery, musky old lady stuff. This perfume is just right!

Mascara -Almay - One Coat Mascara (Thickening)
prillita 10/25/2007 11:23:00 AM
I love this stuff! I've tried many, many mascaras, expensive and cheap, and I'm definitely going to be sticking with this one for a while. I used to be a big fan of Lancome definicils, but I found it too wet, it always seemed to work better once I'd been using it for a while. Almay is so much less expensive, and I actually like the consistency a lot better! I should probably mention that my eyelashes are already pretty thick and long, so really most mascaras work well on my eyelashes, but I'd still recommend this mascara.

Lipstick -NARS - Gipsy
prillita 2/28/2007 9:30:00 PM
I just got this in the mail today and I like it. It's a pretty color. When I first started putting it on, I was worried that it was going to be too sheer, but you can layer it (which it does really well) for more color. I think it would look especially flattering on pale-skinned people with warm undertones (like me) but really it'd probably work on anyone whose face works well with bright colors. It's not my favorite color, but I still wear it on occasion!

Scrubs -BeneFit Cosmetics - Honey Snap Out of It Face Scrub
prillita 2/20/2007 8:39:00 PM
I absolutely love this stuff. I'd use it all the time if it weren't so expensive. I have very sensitive and dry skin and really this is the only product I've found that combats both problems. It leaves my skin moisturized and exfoliated, so much so that I don't have to use very much moisturizer at all. This product is great for wintery, dry, patchy skin. Overall it's a great product, but the price is really a bit too much for me personally.

Moisturizers -Estee Lauder - Hydra Complete Multi-Level Moisture Creme(Dry Skin)
prillita 1/5/2007 1:19:00 AM
I got this product as a free sample from a friend. I really like it, which is rare considering I have very sensitive, dry skin. This cream gives a slight warming sensation after applied--it did for me at least. It felt like the product was really sinking into my skin. The smell is interesting. I usually can't stand scented facial lotions, but this one is okay. I would probably consider obtaining more of this product, but I'm guessing it costs an arm and a leg so I probably won't.

Brows -LORAC - Colored Brow Wax
prillita 1/5/2007 1:15:00 AM
I love this product. I used to use BeneFit's "Brow Zings" but I think they offer a powder and wax and some other stuff too . . . too much. All I wanted was wax and that's what I got. The color looks a bit fake if you apply too much, but overall it's a great simple brow wax that's easy to use.

Blush -Lancome - Cosmopolitan Pink
prillita 1/5/2007 1:12:00 AM
I love this blush. It's just like the name says . . . "subtle", er, subtil, anyway the color looks too bright, but goes on quite sheer. The smell is wonderful. It's too bad this blush doesn't always stay on as long as I'd like.

Palettes -Urban Decay - Sell Out Face Case
prillita 1/5/2007 1:09:00 AM
This is by far one of my favorite makeup palettes. I'm not the biggest fan of the glittery eyeshadows--the glitter tends to fall onto the face--but everything else is wonderful! Almost all of the lip gloss is gone. I love the brown "Roach" eyeshadow and the "X" blush the best. The packaging is neat and tidy and fits in a purse and the lip glosses and eyeshadow smell minty! It's a nice little touch. I would definitely repurchase this product.

Powder -Bare Escentuals - Bare Minerals ALL
prillita 12/28/2006 2:49:00 PM
I quite enjoy this foundation. I have combination skin--my forehead is usually the only greasy part of my face. This product covers really well, especially if you use a smaller concealer brush for acne and discoloration around the eyes and so forth. The product really clings to brushes so it's important to clean them regularly! I hadn't cleaned the brush that I received with the kit for a while and it started irritating my skin and making me break out. Overall this is a great product! It's the most natural-looking product I've ever used. It's the only foundation I've used for quite some time.

Highlighters -BeneFit Cosmetics - High Beam
prillita 11/16/2006 6:59:00 PM
This is most definitely the best highlighter I've come across. I usually apply it to most of my face, and then top it with sheer foundation. It leaves a subtle glow. It's especially fun to use on the eyes. I love it!

Fragrances -BeneFit Cosmetics - ... maybe baby
prillita 11/16/2006 6:56:00 PM
I love the smell of this perfume. It's sort of an acquired taste for some people. At first I thought it to be a bit overwhelming, but once I got used to it, I loved it! The smell is quite distinct. . . BeneFit uses the same smell in several of their products including their body balm. It smells like roses with powdery undertones. It's a subtle, feminine fragrance. I'd buy it again!

Primer/ Corrector -BeneFit Cosmetics - Dr Feelgood
prillita 11/16/2006 6:49:00 PM
I agree with the review calling this product a "mystery". I have no idea what it's supposed to be doing. . . It smells okay. . . it feels good between my fingers, but on my face, it feels like it just makes my skin more dry. I guess this is suppose to mattify my skin? I don't really know. I would recommend this product for people with oily skin. . . it might work for them. Honestly though, application sucks. . . it feels like I'm rubbing cheese on my face.
