Blush -NARS - Sin
primflower 1/16/2005 1:49:00 PM
I agree with the review below - this is the Blush that NARS should have called Orgasm! I think NARS makes some of the best quality blush available. I'm PPP and didnt expect Sin to be very pretty on me. Well wrong!! Its a very pretty plum, it gives me a natural flush, and it makes my green eyes pop. I do have to use this with a very light hand,as it is intensely pigmented and being so fair, its easy for me to look like a clown if I use a little too much blush. With this and Orgasm, I have a complete blush wardrobe - I dont need any other colours, these two cover all my needs. (Of course I do have other colours, and still buy them- but I dont actually NEED them!) Dont just glance at it in the pan and dismiss it, try some on your face. I think this will suit most skin shades from porcelain to very dark.

Fragrances -Serge Lutens - Arabie

Oh this is just awful on me! All I get is cumin. Nothing else. I expected it to fade to a nice dry down but no, 3 hours after applying its cumin plain and simple. This might be nice on a man though - he would need to be very mature and sophisticated, but it might just work.

Liquid -Maybelline - Ever Fresh Makeup [DISCONTINUED]

Terrible on me. Poor choice of shades - Ivory made even PPP me look ill. The next shade was way too orange. It sank straight into my pores and wore on patchy.

Fragrances -Givenchy - Amarige de Givenchy

I must apologise to Amarige lovers but this is the most revolting fragrance I have ever known. Its a cloying, over powering, hyper sweetness. Those of you who like heady florals may care for this. Especially if you like your fragrance to linger for, ohhh, around 4 days after you apply it. I couldnt get rid of this fragrance it lingered on my coat and my gloves (of course I hadnt even sprayed it there.) In one word? Nasty.

Lipstick -Laura Mercier - Dry Rose

This is the most flattering lipstick shade I have ever worn. It makes my PPP complexion look smoother somehow, it absolutely makes my green eyes pop and gives my whole face a pretty, healthy look. The MA at SpaceNK rec'd it to me about 4 years ago. I took one look at it in the tube and thought "no way will that look good on me". (PPP redhead). It was not a colour I would ever have chosen myself. It is totally stunning on me though. The downside?It absolutely dries out my very sensitive lips. I can wear it with a clear gloss every so often, but not every day. If this was more moisturising on me it would be absolutely my HG lipstick. Its my HG shade, but not my HG formula. I'm strongly considering sending a sample to 3 Custom Color to see if they can get me the same shade in a more gently formula. It is matte and long lasting, it even lasts quite well with a gloss on top.

Shampoo -Phyto - Phytonectar Shampoo
primflower 10/13/2004 12:25:00 PM
I really dont care for this shampoo. I have very dry, thick, coarse, frizzy hair and this was recommended to me for my hair type. It does smell gorgeous, but it leaves my hair feeling like straw. I find the phyto range very high maintenance in that you are supposed to leave the poo on for a few minutes. Who has time for that every time they shampoo?I dont. This is a very expensive product, and it really does not work on my hair type.
