Lip Gloss -NYX - Mega Shine - La La
ToxicBailey 7/9/2008 3:27:00 PM
I looove this lip gloss! It's a nice bright, but not-too-bright pinky color that's perfect for fun summer lips. At first when I saw the tube, I was a little intimidated at how bright it was. But after the application, I noticed that it was actually a bit sheer. It looks very shiny and glossy on, and doesn't feel sticky at all. This lip gloss had a little bit of a slight sweetarts smell that I liked.

Eye Shadow -NYX - Mermaid Green # 101 (Single)
ToxicBailey 7/9/2008 12:37:00 AM
Like all nyx shadows, it's creamy and smooth in texture, goes on well, has great pigmentation, and blends like a dream. Mermaid green is a shimmery dark green with a bit of blue tones in it. I notice it doesn't have as good payoff as the other NYX shadows, but if you layer it well it will look great nonetheless. I've heard this was comparable to MAC humid e/s, and to me it seems like a perfect dupe.

Like all nyx shadows, it's creamy and smooth in texture, goes on well, has great pigmentation, and blends like a dream. This is the nyx shadow I find myself using the most. It is a gorgeous shimmery slightly frosted pink that is great for spring and summer. Highly recommended.

Like all nyx shadows, it's creamy and smooth in texture, goes on well, has great pigmentation, and blends like a dream. But this one I found to be exceptionally smooth and creamy. The color is a nice medium purpley color that is nice and wearable for everyday. Highly recommended.

Eye Shadow -NYX - Purple
ToxicBailey 7/9/2008 12:29:00 AM
The texture of this shadow is a bit different than others. I didn't find it as creamy and smooth as the other shadows. It blends pretty well and has a gorgeous purple with some blue tones.

Like all nyx shadows, it's creamy and smooth in texture, goes on well, has great pigmentation, and blends like a dream. Champagne is a gorgeous shimmery nude-y champagne-y color that looks good paired with anything. It looks great whether on the lid or as a highlight.

Eye Shadow -NYX - Dark Brown
ToxicBailey 7/9/2008 12:22:00 AM
Like all nyx shadows, it's creamy and smooth in texture, goes on well, and blends like a dream. Dark Brown is a matte dark brown color that is EXCELLENT for a smoky/brown eyeshadow in the crease. One beautiful look I love to do is to apply NYX eyeshadow in champagne all over my lid and brow bone as a highlight. Then I use dark brown in the crease, slap on some mascara, and it looks GREAT. Love it!

Like all nyx shadows, it's creamy and smooth in texture, goes on well, and blends like a dream. Black is a pure black color which is completely matte. It's a must-have if you want to do a great dramatic smoky eye!

Eye Shadow -NYX - Highlight
ToxicBailey 7/9/2008 12:15:00 AM
I didn't like this one at all. It didn't show up AT ALL on me and wasn't smooth and creamy like the other NYX eyeshadows. I usually LOVE nyx but this just wasnt for me.

Eye Shadow -NYX - Kiwi

This eyeshadow is AWESOME. It may be just the one I have, but the texture just doesn't seem as creamy and smooth as the other NYX eyeshadows. The color is still awesome, though. It's a beautiful fun grass green color.

Treatments -Garnier - Strength & Repair Melting Masque
ToxicBailey 6/27/2008 6:06:00 PM
This stuff is amazing. First of all, it was super inexpensive (just about 3 bucks). It smells heavenly, like fruity or something. It's kind of hard to describe, but it really smells good. When I applied it to my hair, it did seem to just melt into my hair and felt like I had already rinsed it out. I left it in for a few minutes just for luck. It was pretty easy to rinse out as well. After my hair dried, I noticed it was ALOT more soft and moisturized than usual. The texture was just so nice and soft and smooth. I love this masque, and I will continue to use it regularly!

Eyeliner -Jane - Be Pure Mineral Gel Eyeliner
ToxicBailey 6/21/2008 9:12:00 PM
I LOVE THIS! I have been wanting to try a gel liner forever and was about to get MAC's fluidline. Luckily, during a quick stop at Walgreens, I happened to stumble upon this. I was a bit hesitant because I only had 10 bucks on me, and thought that this would turn out to be crap. Luckily, it turned out to be AMAZING! The color was so intense, and the little brush it came with actually was very useful. It also lasts for a LONG time. I'm guessing its waterproof too, cuz I swatched it on my hand before taking a bath, and it was still there after I had gotten out of the bath. It also doesn't smudge easily at all. The only con is that it can be a little hard to get off. But that's no big deal. Overall, I am in love with this stuff.

Eye Primer -Too Faced - Shadow Insurance, Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer
ToxicBailey 6/21/2008 4:19:00 PM
I had been using UDPP for awhile and I was happy with it, but I definitely wasn't happy with its inconvenient packaging. I knew it was time for a change. I thought that this would be pretty much the same as UDPP, but in a more convenient package. So I picked it up at Sephora, expecting it to be as good as my coveted UDPP. But sadly, it wasn't. There were MANY differences. As I was applying the shadow insurance, I noticed it's slightly creamier texture- a texture that seemed somewhat oily as well. It blended on the eye well, and seemed to melt into my skin. UDPP would have my eyeshadow truly last ALL DAY on me- from when I applied it at 7 AM all the way to when I wiped off my makeup at 11 PM. But with TF shadow insurance, I find that after only about 5 hours, oil is seeping through onto my eyeshadow, and that it already had begun to fade. At the very end of the day, my eyeshadow is mostly faded. I can't believe I thought this would be as good as UDPP, but I was wrong. UDPP puts shadow insurance to shame. Now, my shadow insurance is up for swaps. UPDATE: I previously rated this three out of five. Now, I'm downgrading it to two out of five. This stuff is a JOKE. With UDPP, I used to be able to take a 15-minute nap halfway through the day and still have my eye makeup looking fresh. But today I took a nap and when I woke up, my eyeshadow was COMPLETELY gone, the eyeliner was really smudged. I hate this stuff. SECOND UPDATE: I decided to give this one last chance. And when I squeezed the tube, a whole bunch of gross clear liquid came out- obviously this stuff SEPERATED on me. And it looked disgusting!
