Absolutely gorgeous!! This is my HG lipgloss. I love the nude look it gives my lips without making me look washed out.I really like Ambre rose, but this is even better. This looks great with chesnut liner too.

Lipstick -Laura Mercier - Dry Rose
rated 5 of 5
sadiewoo 1/25/2004 3:13:00 PM

This lipstick is gorgeous. I have been wearing this color for several years, making it a staple in my make-up bag. This is a medium rose/brown on my lips. I guess if I layered it on it would look deeper. I usually top it off with LM Ambre Rose gloss and it looks beautiful. P.S. - Dry Rose is a longwearing lipstick on me.

Liquid -Lancome - Adaptive [DISCONTINUED]
rated 3 of 5
sadiewoo 12/17/2003 10:03:00 AM

I recently purchased this after trying a sample and I really like it on my combo skin.I have balanced creme 2 and it is a great shade for me(Stila C, MAC NC25,.) The finish is a very natural looking soft matte.SPF is a broad spectrum 10.UPDATE:This foundation gets too shiny too fast in warmer weather.My face looks a little orange by the end of the day.Liked it better in cold weather.

This is a wonderful powder bronzer.It looks so good on the skin. It is just the right color-not too brown and not orange looking.Love the large compact.

Masks -Paula's Choice - Skin Balancing Carbon Mask
rated 5 of 5
sadiewoo 11/22/2003 4:15:00 PM

I usually don't use facial masks because they either make my face sting,dry too stiff, or they make my face breakout. I decided to give this new mask a try and I love it! It goes on so smooth and does not sting my face at all. It doesn't get real stiff and dry out my face. I have used it every 3rd day for the last 2 weeks and it hasn't broke my face out at all.

Lip Gloss -MAC - song and dance lipglass

This is beautiful.I bought Lust a couple of years ago and it always had an orange tint on my lips-I didn't wear it very often. This is everything I wanted Lust to be.I love the way it brightens up my complexion and looks so natural. This is a YLBB gloss for me.I wish this wasn't LE.

Toners -Bobbi Brown - SOOTHING FACE TONIC
rated 5 of 5
sadiewoo 11/2/2003 12:18:00 PM

This a very nice, soothing tonic. It is alcohol free and has a pleasant fragrance. It contains anti-irritants and it comes in a beautiful bottle. It is a little expensive for tonic, but a bottle should last quite a long time.

Cleansers -Bobbi Brown - Lathering Tube Soap
rated 2 of 5
sadiewoo 11/2/2003 12:13:00 PM

I am really liking this cleanser.It has a nice creamy lather and takes off all makeup very well. It rinses easily and leaves my skin feeling very soft.My skin is sensitive to fragrance and this has a lemony, herbal smell,but hasn't bothered my skin or eyes at all. This is best for combo skin.This is really too costly-I will not purchase again.Update: This turned out to be too drying for my skin.

I have many bronzers(bobbi brown,el bronze goddess,clinique and lancome), but this is my HG. This stuff looks amazing on my skin.It looks very natural. I love the texture of this. I wear this over my LM foundation powder and I think it looks really nice.Don't let the price stop you;the container is huge and will last a long time.

Lipstick -Chanel - Infrarouge- Flamingo
rated 5 of 5
sadiewoo 9/19/2003 6:59:00 PM

This is a gorgeous lipstick. It is a rosey mauve on me. When I tried it on at the Chanel counter,at first I didn't like it-looked too blue based. The MA had just put way too much on my lips.I tissued over half of it off and it looked much better,like it just stained my lips a natural rosey color. The name "Flamingo" is not appropriate for this shade(flamingo makes me think of a pink flamingo-bright pink).I don't smell a strong fragrance with this lipstick either.

This is pretty nice. My derm. has had me using Tazorac every night for my acne and my face is always pink and sesitive.I was using Paula's Skin Balancing Cleanser and liked it, but my face felt a little parched. I started using the Skin Recovery and it helped. I really prefer foaming cleansers.

Lipstick -Kevyn Aucoin - Expert Lip Tint in Dantique
rated 5 of 5
sadiewoo 9/1/2003 7:08:00 PM

This is the best lipstick I have ever had in my life. I love it,love it,love it. Dantique is a beautiful sheer red and it looks great on my lips. I can't wait to get a few more colors. This lipstick doesn't dry my lips at all. My lips actually look alot smoother and plump with this on.The creamy gel-like formula is amazing. This was well worth the $22.00 I spent. I'm ready to toss all of my other lipsticks.

Eyeliner -Laura Mercier - Kohl Pencil in Brown Copper
rated 5 of 5
sadiewoo 9/1/2003 7:02:00 PM

This is the second kohl pencil offered by LM. I love this one as much as the black violet. Brown Copper is a stunning shimmery golden copper. I have brown eyes and I love the way it looks. I also like to smudge this with the LM smudge brush.

Makeup Brushes -Bobbi Brown - Face Brush
rated 5 of 5
sadiewoo 8/15/2003 10:00:00 PM

This is the cutest little brush, that comes in a cute pouch. This brush is so soft. I love using it to apply powder during the day. I think it is worth the $30.00.

Lip Gloss -Laura Mercier - Ambre Rose Glace
rated 5 of 5
sadiewoo 8/14/2003 8:54:00 AM

This lipgloss is soooo beautiful! I have a ton of glosses and this is my absolute favorite. The color is a rosey beige on me, and it dosen't wash me out at all. The texture is wonderful and it is long wearing for a gloss. I highly reccomend this gloss.
