Eye Primer -Too Faced - Shadow Insurance, Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer
nicoleh619 3/24/2008 2:34:00 PM
A little on the fence as to whether I'd buy it again or not. I've been a die hard UDPP fan for awhile now but read about this on the boards and decided to give this a try. I found it very similar to UDPP. I had little to no creasing colors were vibrant and the longevity was great. I had no complaints its just that Im so used to UDPP I cant decide yet what I will do.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Pink Bronze Pigment
nicoleh619 3/24/2008 2:26:00 PM
I love pink bronze. On my dark caramel skin (nc50) pink bronze shows up beautifully. It's a duochrome look of many colors..... I like it with Shadowy Lady or Sketch in the crease and Vanilla pigment as a highlighter. So pretty. Its is bright and shimmery so when I wear it to work I tone it down a lot but I always recieve compliments on this. I wont buy again because I have a full jar that will last me forever.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Passionate
nicoleh619 3/21/2008 5:39:00 PM
I wouldn't buy Passionate again. Its dry texture, difficulty blending, and poor color payoff are the reasons why. The color is pretty reddish pink but I have to work hard to get the look I want with this shadow. Besides like 2 weeks ago I bought Bright Fuschia Pigment which is the love of my freaking life!!!!!!! It is all I need for any pink look from now on. :-) ***Edit*** I've played around with passionate now with many color combinations and sued various brushes 217, 275, and 239. I do like this color now and can achieve any look I like with it. I appreciate the matteness lol of it. Looks great with swish, chrome yellow, orange,etc. I'm going to try it with my pen n pink now and see what I come up with...but Passionate is a winner after all. :-) I also agree with the reviewer who said there is not another color like this.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Sable Eye Shadow
nicoleh619 3/21/2008 5:29:00 PM
I would buy it again and again. On my NC50 complexion it's just beautiful. It's a shimmery plummy pink brown and it makes my eyes look beautiful and stand out yet, it's understated and can be worn in a corporate environment...It's lovely. I'm very happy to have it in my palette although I do agree with the reviewer who said it crumbles easily. I just transferred what was left of mine to one of my sample jars but it's still a worthwhile shadow to own.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Style Minx Lipglass - Heatherette
nicoleh619 3/21/2008 5:12:00 PM
I just bought style minx yesterday and I LOVE it.....Funny I was lemming another pastel pink gloss but just decided to go for the bright fuschia pink one....ITS GORGEOUS!!!!! I can't say that enough, its thick the way the older lipglass textures used to be and I'm totally thinking of getting a backup because this is too hard a color to find in any line. Looks great on me NC50 Studio Fluid. Buy it, you wont be disappointed.

Liquid -MAC - Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15
nicoleh619 3/18/2008 5:25:00 PM
I purchased this in NC50, Overall I'm happy with the performance of this foundation. I dont like a heavy made up look at all so I agree with others who said this is a very thick opaque foundation however, I use my Fix+ or moisturizer to achieve a light (sheer) application. I only use one pump for my entire face. It doesnt come with the pump but for an additional $5 you can purchase it at a MAC store. That's why I rated this product as super expensive. IMO they could at least throw in a pump for free. I keep the original cap it came with for traveling. It makes it easy but come on a free pump isnt going to hurt MAC's business. I do get oily mid day and I touch up with MAC blot in deep dark but thats my skin type regardless in my tzone Im very oily. Anyway I find that this foundation lasts all day, it's a nice satin finish, and I use my 187 brush and get a lovely application. I believe that brush makes all the difference in the world but that's another review. :-)

Eye Shadow -Cover Girl - Eye Slicks Gel Color in Tickled Pink
nicoleh619 3/18/2008 4:05:00 PM
Not sure if I would purchase Tickled Pink again only because it seems like it will last me a very long time. It's a cotton candy pink with silver glitter and a touch of lavender in it as well IMO. I do like it and think it will look nice under some of my fave pink purple shadows like MAC's Stars n rockets, Swish, Hepcat, or Nocturnal. A nice pencil to have in my traincase. Very pigmented and shows up well on my skintone. MAC NC50.

Eyes -Cover Girl - CG eye slicks glistening gold
nicoleh619 3/18/2008 3:57:00 PM
I cant believe no one has reviewed this little treasure yet. I had heard it was a dupe for MAC's corn shadestick and indeed it is. The color is gorgeous so if you're looking for rich bright gold with no glitter just a smooth satin finish this is it. Look no further. I'm happy to have found this on sale BOGO half off. I also purchased this in Tickled Pink and I like that one so far as well.

Lip Liners -MAC - Lip Liner- Currant
nicoleh619 3/15/2008 1:56:00 PM
Wow...cant believe Currant has such bad reviews. I dont use it everyday because it is dark but its a lovely wine cranberryish burgandy color. It's very versatile because it is so pigmented. I put it on the outline of my lips and blend, blend, blend it out then add lipglass or lipstick in whatever shade....It's a beautiful color and I would repurchase. I'm already on my second one!
