Treatments (Eye) -Avon - Anew Clinical Eye Lift
dddoxie 1/22/2011 9:25:00 PM
I just purchased my second container of this. This is such a great product!!! I had very crepey eyelids prior to using this product and now my eyes are soft, smooth and supple. I actually got this free with another Avon purchase previously, but I will continue to repurchase because it is my favorite eye cream. I like that there is an under eye cream and an eyelid gel. You only need to use a tiny bit too, so it lasts forever. I only use this at night because I feel that the undereye cream is a bit too thick for daytime wear and the gel doesn't work well under eye makeup.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Vintage Selection (Cham-Pale Collection)
dddoxie 1/20/2011 3:32:00 PM
I'm on a paint pot kick, so i bought this as soon as the Cham-Pale collection hit stores/online. Little did I know prior to purchasing it that it was FILLED with sparkle/glitter. If you've read my other reviews, this is one thing that I cannot stand, especially on my eyes. The color is very pretty, but when applied, it gives my eyes a crepey/scaley texture that is unattractive. The sparkle makes it hard to blend too.

Eye Shadow -Wet 'n' Wild - Color Icon #252B Nutty
dddoxie 1/16/2011 9:34:00 PM
this shadow is extremely pigmented and blends well for only costing a few bucks. unfortunately, the color doesn't suit me well (NC25/30) and ends up looking very muddy on me. I don't care for the silver/shimmery undertone the shade has.

Primer/ Corrector -Clinique - Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector 
dddoxie 1/12/2011 12:47:00 PM
Ummm....so this did absolutely nothing for me. It actually made it harder to blend in my foundation, did not reduce pores and did not reduce oiliness throughout the day. Good thing I got this in a swap, because I would be fuming if I had to pay $17.50 for the TINY tube it comes in. UPDATE: This also broke me out after 2 days use. Boo!

Lip Gloss -E.L.F. - Mineral lipgloss in Pageant Princess
dddoxie 1/12/2011 10:16:00 AM
Beautiful bubblegum/Barbie pink color with slight golden shimmer. The consistency is great, not too thick, not too thin. Great for layering over a matte lipstick (try WnW 901B). makes my lips feel wonderful and lasts a pretty long time.

Lipstick -Wet 'n' Wild - Mega Last Matte Lipstick in 901B Think Pink
dddoxie 1/12/2011 10:14:00 AM
I normally never buy matte lipstick (or Barbie pink, for that matter) but I got this on sale and gave it a shot. I was really skeptical about the bright Barbie pink color, but it looks amazing on me. I'm NC25-30 also and this color suits me very well. It is very dry, but I put a lip balm underneath then a gloss on top (for reference, I use ELF mineral gloss in Pageant Princess). It makes my lips look amazing and plump as well.

Lipstick -Clinique - Different Lipstick - Raspberry Glace
dddoxie 1/10/2011 3:15:00 PM
I actually got a mini lipstick as a GWP and initially thought it was too bright for me. My M/U style has drastically changed within the past year or so, and I'm all into the bright lips now. I pulled this out the other day and cannot believe how beautiful the color is. The formula is creamy and moisturizing and I found that this stays on my lips longer than some of the other brands I like (ie NYX). Once my mini tube is gone I will definately consider purchasing a full size because this color will be beautiful in the Spring & Summer.

Mascara -Revlon - Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara
dddoxie 1/9/2011 7:41:00 PM
mehhhhhh. (1)the brush is ginormous. I don't have particularly large eyes or long lashes so it made for a difficult application. Had to be very careful. (2) formula not that great. Had to apply at least 3 coats to make it look like I had any mascara on. (3) haven't used it religiously because I just don't care for it, so don't know if it actually made a difference in my lash length. (4) it flakes. (5) when you wash it off, its very crumbly. Weird.

Primer/ Corrector -Rimmel - Fix and Perfect Foundation Primer
dddoxie 1/8/2011 9:28:00 PM
got this free with a Rimmel foundation. at first, I really hated it because it is an odd apricot color and appears quite thin. I used it a few times, then put back in my drawer and forgot about it. I pulled it out recently because I'm trying to use up as many products as I can, and I actually like it now! I like that is not as greasy feeling as some other primers that I use. It provides a nice matte finish. Will use this up but may not repurchase, because I'm on the hunt for my HG primer. Don't think this is quite it though...

Primer/ Corrector -Avon - MagiX Face Perfector
dddoxie 1/7/2011 3:19:00 PM
I recently rediscovered this and fell head over heels for it. I apply it with a foundation brush and it provides a smooth base for my foundation. Just an FYI - It has a very distinct scent of ozone.

Powder -MAC - Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light Medium [DISCONTINUED]
dddoxie 1/6/2011 12:14:00 PM
This is my HG powder. I was previously using loose powder but hated the mess it made. This baked compact makes ZERO mess!! I also love how little product I have to use. I use a fluffy brush but just lightly tap the compact when applying it. Gives me a nice finish and helps control the oil pretty well. Although its a bit more pricey than my other powders, it will last me forever.

Mascara -Rimmel - Sexy Curves

Ironically, this mascara makes my curled lashes fall flat. The formula is runny and it flakes. The curved brush does nothing special either.

Lip Gloss -NYX - Apricot 19
dddoxie 1/5/2011 1:20:00 PM
Looks neon orange in the tube, but on the lips it looks like you just got done eating a cherry popsicle. i like the stained look that it gives you. Nice color for summer.
