Blush -Milani - Powder Blush - Pink Craze [DISCONTINUED]
lamp4 4/13/2008 6:58:00 PM
This is a lovely light pale pink blush with a very slight hint of shimmer. The blush would get a higher rating if it was a purely matte. I love the cute tiny packaging that it comes in.

Overall a great true pink blush without a hint of shimmer or glitter. I love matte blushes because it looks great on my skin (oily and slightly larger pores).

Cleansers -Shiseido - The Skincare Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam

Cleanser sucks!!! It's so mild that it still leaves tons of makeup behind, so it gave me at first a false sense that it was cleaning my face. So when I started to break out on a lot of zits, I used a toner & saw how much makeup that was still on my face.

Blush -Clinique - Blushing Blush Powder Blush in Aglow
lamp4 2/3/2008 9:37:00 PM
When I want to put on something that gives me a natural and glowy look, then I reach for this. However by the end of the day, my face can look a bit oily with the combo of shimmer from the blush and my natural oils. So i have to blot the oil away constantly. But it looks extremely natural and sheer and it gives a lovely glow to my face. You can never make the mistake of putting too much on b/c it's so sheer.

Blush -Clinique - Blushing Blush Powder Blush - Smoldering Plum

This blush is too dark for my skin tone. It would look awesome on someone who is tanned or darker than a ghost. I love the mini compact (GWP) better than the original full-sized compact because the gwp is a square shaped so it's better to get at with the brush. The regular full-sized compact is a lot prettier b/c of the silvery mirror look, but it's functionality is poor. The blush in the compact is a rectangle shape which is hard to get at evenlly with a brush.

Lotions/ Creams -Unlisted Brand - spa resource

Walmart sells these wonderful smelling hand/body lotions under the name of "spa resource". There are so many delicious flavors to choose from. I received the xmas package with strawberry, mango, melon. The squeezy tubes are cute and compact. The quality is as good as The Body Shop lotions but for a fraction of the price.

love the packaging...silver handles. i have an eyeliner brush and retractable blush brush. they are pretty soft and sturdy. the retractable blush brush can be a bit too big and floppy if i retract it all the way down, so i keep it mid-way so that i have more control applying the blush. it's always on sale at SDM for 20% so i would wait for a sale to go on before buying at regular price.

this is the prettiest blush that i have ever seen!!!! it's like a beautiful sunset blend of yellow and orange. i used my 187 and it gives me a light natural flush. however if i use too much then it goes too orangy. overall i love it just because of how pretty it looks even if i never use this blush again. the compact is too bulky and i'll never use the brush with it.

This is an awesome brush that I picked up at walmart for $3. It's better than any MAC (190 and 187), lancome or other high end foundation brush that I tried with the revlon colorstay foundation which is a bit thick to begin with. So far this is the only foundation brush that I am able to get an airbrush look with my foundation. I can't believe how cheap it is and excellent the quality is.

i am in the minority here but i hate this product. i don't like shimmer in my lipsticks and i found it too shimmery for my taste. i prefer matte lipsticks.

Eyeliner -MAC - Fluidline Eye-Liner Gel in Blacktrack

this has amazing staying power except that with my oily eyelids i tend to get some smudging by the end of the day. i never apply it directly on my skin straight from the jar otherwise i get too much and it goes on very harshly and flakes off. i have to dip a bit with a brush and run my brush against my hand a few times and sorta dilute the concentration and then it applies very natural and it tends to smudge less.
