Lipstick -LORAC - Breakthrough Performance Lipstick
Menolikepolos 2/26/2013 1:58:00 AM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. I have this product in Leading Lady. It is a gorgeous coral red that goes on creamy but lasts for several hours in between touch ups. So pigmented! It stains your lips pretty evenly. Love it. I uploaded some pics of it. Can't comment on the other shades of this line, but I want to get more.

Lipstick -Make Up For Ever - Rouge Artist Intense #45
Menolikepolos 2/26/2013 1:31:00 AM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. I am reviewing #45, a beautiful cool toned red with a good amount of pink in it. This is MY FAVORITE red lipstick. Gorgeous and bright without overwhelming. Moisturizing and soft in application. I feel like it has too much slip, so one lippie off for that. I wish it was more matte, or at least satin finish, instead of feeling like heavily pigmented lip balm. But this literally is the BEST RED I have found. Uploaded some pics of me in this.

Menolikepolos 2/26/2013 12:45:00 AM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. Imagine the beautiful flush of dark raspberry. Your lips after a grape sorbet. Juicy youthful color. A clash between the darkness of berry and the pigment of fushia and purple. Beautiful.

Lipstick -Maybelline - Lust for Blush Color Whisper
Menolikepolos 2/26/2013 12:32:00 AM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. this is a beautiful pale neutral pink color. Just enough pigment to block out the reddish flesh tones of my lips, but doesn't take on a "doll like" fake pink quality by being too opaque (Creme Cup has this issue on me). Great product, I can see this shade becoming HG for me.

Foundations -Vichy - Dermablend Corrective Foundation
Menolikepolos 2/23/2013 4:01:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. This is an amazing foundation. Feels light. Stays on forever. Doesn't get cakey. You don't need concealer with it. Amazing coverage. Doesn't melt off oily skin. Issue: No shade match :( The lightest, Opal #15, seems suited for NC17 or olive skin of that depth.

Crème -Graftobian - High-Definition Glamour Color Creme Foundation
Menolikepolos 2/23/2013 2:08:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. I love these. The neutral palette creams were too neutral for my liking, the cool palette suited me better for a color match (even though these have a reputation for being quite pink). Buff is about NW13, Sunrise Flush is NW15. These palettes are great for vacations where I tend to spray tan, but have lost my color by the end of the trip. Don't need to pack 20 different foundations.

Eye Shadow -Essence - Stay All Day Coppy Right
Menolikepolos 2/23/2013 1:59:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. I bought 4 of these Stay All Day shadows, as I love cream shadows. However, this one must have been a bad formula. I found it much less creamy than the others and really dry. Hard to blend, and that it caked in layers and wouldn't move.

Primer/ Corrector -Korres - Quercetin & Oak Antiageing Face Primer
Menolikepolos 2/23/2013 1:51:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. I, like some other reviewers, was skeptical about this product because I have combination skin. I received this as a gift. Normally, I don't buy primers if they don't have sunscreen, as I prefer eliminating steps in my make up routine if possible. However, I was pleasently surprised. I have been doing many peels on my face to help reduce acne scarring I have. This primer gives moisture back to my face and helps it feels balanced. I am really enjoying it for the winter. I might skip this if you have any sort of oily skin in the summer though.

Bronzers -Physicians Formula - Shimmer Strips - Custom Bronzer Blush and Eye Shadow
Menolikepolos 2/23/2013 1:48:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. Riviera is a great "palette" for travel, as it gives you a range of pigmented golden shades for highlighting and for eye shadow. You can do a day look, a night look, and highlighting all from this little package. Very pigmented, long lasting. Foiled when wet.

Mascara -Jordana - Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara
Menolikepolos 2/23/2013 12:47:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. This is a good mascara, but I feel it dries out really fast. After it dries, it starts to clump alot more. I can't wear this now without combing through my lashes alot, it goes on quite unevenly. But yes, very decent mascara for the price.

Eyeliner -Rimmel - Scandaleyes
Menolikepolos 2/23/2013 12:42:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. I purchased this in Sparkling Black. It definitely disappears from my lash line and water line after a few hours : ( Disappointing since it is a very creamy formula, reminds me of MAC pearl glides but rubs right off.

Lip Gloss -Essence - Stay With Me
Menolikepolos 2/23/2013 12:31:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. These are some great lip glosses. The formula and packaging reminds me of MAC Cremesheen Glass. They are creamy and have decent opaque color pay off, and wear as well as any gloss for a few hours. I like how moisturizing it feels. Very cheap price.

Blush -NYX - Rouge Cream Blush
Menolikepolos 2/23/2013 12:19:00 PM
About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW. These blushes barely show up on me, and I'm pale. I don't understand how anyone beyond N25 would benefit from these. I tried in both Tickled and Boho Chic. Tickled is a coral ruby red pink grapefruit color with golden shimmer. Boho Chic is a soft baby pink mauve. Both of these gave just a hint of color on my cheeks. I am just not that impressed with the color payoff or the lasting power. Only lasted about 4 hours on me, even after I powdered. Hot Pink was much more pigmented, but not very flattering on my skin tone. Probably would look great on N25+
