Eye Shadow -Clinique - Colour Surge Rum Spice
mulove 4/5/2006 2:25:00 PM
Rum Spice is a dark bronze color w/ shimmer. I like to use this to do my outer v and it really brings my eyes out. Color can be applied opaque or sheer depending the brush/tool you use and the effect you want to acheive. Like others have mentioned, this can be used as e/l and it gives softer looking eyes.

Eye Shadow -Clinique - Colour Surge Duo in Sunburst
mulove 4/5/2006 2:17:00 PM
I love this duo! They have nice shimmer to them and have pretty good lasting powder. Sunburst duo consists of shimmery golden coral+peachy color and light golden beigey color. I use the peachy coral color the most and it really pops my brown eyes. It's very carefree and easy to use duo that everyone who loves shimmer should own. I can see this working great on every eye color. For me, it's a great neutral e/s w/ slight twist for everyday. Love them and will buy them again if I ever run out.

Eye Shadow -Jane - White Lies Eye Zing
mulove 4/5/2006 2:07:00 PM
White Lies is a sheer white color w/ shimmer. I use this e/s to highlight brow bone & inner corner of my eyes. Sometimes, I put little bit just below the lower lashline to brighten my eyes. This is very sheer, so it gives just a sheen on my light olive skintone. After I'm done w/ this, I probably will not purchase it again since I have so many other white e/s.

Eyeliner -Pur Minerals - Eye Pencil - Smoky Graphite
mulove 4/5/2006 1:54:00 PM
I received this eye pencil as a swap extra some time ago from a sweet swapper and sort of forgot about it. Then one day, I found this in my pile and decided to give it a try. I've never even heard about Pur Minerals before, so I was little skeptical about it and its lasting powder since it's a pencil e/l and didn't say it was waterproof. However, I was pleasantly surprised. This has an excellent staying powder and it doesn't smudge on me. Color Smoky Graphite is a charcoal grey. It gives my dark brown eyes softer look than plain black e/l. This pencil comes in a self sharpening, twist-up style package, which is very user friendly. This is what I use everyday these days and like it very much!

Cleansers -Neutrogena - Neutrogena Deep Clean Cleanser Cream
mulove 4/5/2006 1:36:00 PM
This cleanser is okay. It's a cream cleanser, but oil free so I decided to give it a try since most cream cleansers are for drier skin. The packaging says: "a penetrating and refreshing cleanser that impoves your complexion". Only part that's true is the refreshing part. It gives me that mentha feel after washing. This so doesn't "impove your complexion" and the other thing I dislike is that greasy feeling I get after using this. It's oil-free, so it can't be greasy but I guess it's the cream cleanser thing. I will not repurchase this again.

Lip Gloss -Avon - Glazewear Dazzlers in Ruby Slippers
mulove 4/5/2006 1:25:00 PM
This Glazewear was a total surpise for me. This one has a different consistency and texture than other glazewears I've used, which is much more of a liquid l/s. This one is much more sheer, but it has the same staying power as the other glazewear. Ruby Slipper is a sheer red w/ tiny glitters. I normally do not like glitters in my makeup, but these are so tiny and fine I don't mind it too much. Ruby Slipper gives me that "just-bitten" wash of color. I have the little sample size and I'm looking forward to getting a full size.

Lip Treatments -Avon - Moisture Therapy - Moisturizing Lip Treatment (tube)
mulove 4/5/2006 1:01:00 PM
I LOVE Moisture Therapy hand cream, which has been my HG for a very longtime, so I decided to give this lipbalm a go. Needless to say, I like it alot. It's very moisturizing w/o making my lips feel heavy and it has sun protection (SPF 15). I use this alone or under a l/g or l/s. When used alone, it gives my lips a slight sheen. What makes it better is the price. It often goes on sale for less than a buck. I'll def repurchase this again.

Eye Makeup Remover -Clinique - Take The Day Off Eye Makeup Remover
mulove 1/17/2006 7:19:00 PM
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this product yet. This is by far the best eye makeup remover ever, in my opinion. I've been using this for about ten years now. During those ten years, I did went off and tried different brands here and there, but always came back to this one. I have very sensitive eyes and this does not sting my eyes and remove all my eye makeup including a waterproof mascara. The packaging on the other hand is a different story. Clinique can do better job redesigning the bottle. Well, they this some adjustments to the cap so it doesn't open up so easily. However, the opening of the bottle is just way too big. You can tip the bottle over by an accident and lose half of its content very easily. I can't even tell you how many times I have done that. Don't try to open it when you are drunk, it's a guarantee spillage waiting to happen. lol. Honestly though, there's no reason for the opening to be that large. However, at the end, it's the product that counts and I love it.

Mascara -Clinique - Lash Building Primer
mulove 9/5/2005 3:10:00 PM
I *REALLY* wanted to like Clinique Lash Building Primer after hearing raves on makeup board and reading good reviews here. However, after giving it about 5 tries, I gave up. I have naturally long lashes, but they are stick straight w/ not so much volume. I was hoping that this lash primer will hold curls that I had created w/ the help of my HG Maybelline metal lash curler and give more volume when I apply mascara over it. Sadly, it did none of that. It actually weighed down my lashes making it straight again. Normally, my lashes stay curled when only mascara is applied to them. As far as creating volume, it does gather more mascara around individual lashes, so in turn making the lashes look bit more thicker than it actually does and that's the reason why I gave two lippies instead of one. But, when it does that, it clumps up my lashes so I have to use lash comb to separate them. This product did nothing to improve the look of my lashes, so it went back to the Clinique counter. I will not recommend this to anyone and I definitely will not purchase this again.

Bath Treatments -Avon - Bubble Bath - Vanilla Creme
mulove 8/12/2005 5:49:00 PM
Generally, I like Avon Bubble Bath very much, but Vanilla Creme was a huge disappointment for me. The full name for this is 'Vanilla Creme for Dry Skin'. Vanilla scent is very faint and it evaporates very quickly, therefore by the time I soak my body, I can no longer smell the vanilla. For some reason, this is not as bubbly as the other ones. I'm not sure if it's due to the fact that it's for the dry skin, but I can't see why that would be the reason. Also, this doesn't do much for my dry skin. In my opinion, Avon Vanilla Creme for Dry Skin is just an okay bubble bath and nothing more than that. Although I'll continue to buy more Avon Bubble Bath products, I will not purchase this particular kind again.

Eye Shadow -Milani - Antique Gold #17
mulove 7/5/2005 2:37:00 PM
I really wanted to like Milani Antique Gold, but this just didn't work out for me. Unlike other brown-eyed gals, Antique Gold didn't make my brown eyes pop. Instead, it made my eyelids look dirty and muddy. I still like the quality of Milani e/s in general & i love all my other Milani e/s. It's very unfortunate that Antique Gold didn't work out for me. I think this is the only Milani e/s i don't care for.

Mascara -New York Color - Lengthening Mascara - Black
mulove 6/29/2005 3:23:00 AM
This mascara didn't do much for my lashes. I have pretty long lashes to begin w/, but I was hoping to add little more lengths to give a dramatic effect. Well, that didn't happen. I wasn't really disappointed though, simply due to the fact that it costs less than two bucks. I think this mascara is for more of a natural look than anything else. It doesn't flake or clump too much, so that's a plus. One more thing, the tube dries up VERY fast. I'm not sure if it was just the tube I bought, but I guess it dries up fast as two dallars worth.

Mascara -Maybelline - Volum' Express Turbo Boost Waterproof
mulove 6/27/2005 10:22:00 PM
This mascara is close to becoming my HG. My lashes are pretty long, but stick straight and no volume at all. Before I put this on, I curl my lashes first. Then, put couple of light coats of this mascara and my lashes look much fuller. Just like its name, this mascara creates volume like no others I've tried so far. It holds curls all day long and doesn't flake or smudge. At the end of the day, I use Clinique Take the Day off remover to remove it and it comes off completely. I'm glad I tried this. Maybelline often have coupons and sales, so give it a try then. You might end up liking it.

Lip Gloss -Maybelline - Shiny Licious - Lolly Pink
mulove 6/27/2005 9:54:00 PM
When Shiny-Licious first came out, I couldn't wait to try it out, but never got around to pick them up until a few months later. Finally, I went to a local K-Mart and picked one up in Lolly Pink. I dislike the sponge tip applicator. I think it'll be better if it had come w/ a slanted tip applicator w/o the sponge tip. The color Lolly Pink look baby pinkish in the tube, but on my semi-pigmented lips the color never showed up. Not even a hint of it. One thing I absolutely couldn't stand at all was the smell. I'm not sure if the one I purchased had stronger smell than the other ones, but it's absolutely HORRIBLE!!! I'm VERY tolerant to smells that most d/s products tend to have including Wet'n'Wild cosmetics and Wet'n'Wild lipglosses have very strong smell, but I'm fine with them. However, I cannot stand the smell of Shiny-Licious lipgloss. It smells like a burnt plastic and I can even taste it (or is it just my imagination???). Anyway, this is by far the WORST lipgloss ever for me.
