Lipstick -NYX - Round Lipstick - Sunflower
shinewin 7/3/2010 3:56:00 PM
I got this in the color Tea ROse. I wouldn't buy this again because it's not a color I am looking for. I like nude, neutrals, and natural pinks colors. The color pay off is very good, same as it's on the lipsticks, but I would buy this color shade again. It's looks too pinky on me. I love the packaging, so professional and makes it look expensive. It's very cheap, so get this if you only plan to spend a few bucks for your lips.

Fragrances -Elizabeth Arden - With Love by Hilary Duff
shinewin 7/3/2010 3:50:00 PM
I just love the bottle so I cave in and bought this. It's a little too sweet for me since it has lychee as one of the scent ingredients. I should of had done my research first before I bought it. I was in a hurry at the time. Anyways, I have this up for swap, but if no one take it then I will eventually end up using it if I have no other fragrances. It's not a bad smell, I love it but just too sweet maybe I can combine it with another scent. I am allergic to certian fragrance's scents, but I I mostly prefer floral over fruit or food. There's some fragrances that as soon as i smell it I start sneezing right away. Some example of scents I like are waterlily, lavendar, freesia, amber, jasmine, vanilla, orchid, and patchouli. Some that I dont like are grapefruit, passion fruit, pear, apple, anis, orange, peach, and strawberry. But usually it depends on how they are mix and the proportion they use.

Fragrances -Elizabeth Arden - Midnight Fantasy Britney Spears

I love the bottle and the Packaging. This is one of my favorites from BS. There's a strong after scent that I wish would be lessen, but other than that I love using this for the evening. Not always true, but to me if the bottle of the perfume is dark, the scent usually have a strong after scent like a spice or kick to it.

They should have a "MAYBE" for "would you buy again'', I really love this bottle and the packaging. I love the scent too, but it's just too tangerine and sweet for me. Only if she would of add more floral to the scent, it would of had been my HG fragrances. This is a good perfume to use on a romantic date!

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Dream Angels Divine
shinewin 7/3/2010 3:32:00 PM
Not one of my favorite scent, but if I dont have my other fragrances in handy then I will grab for this. I dont like the cheaply made plastic bottle because if you accidently leave it somewhere hot, the plastic bottle will melt. The scent fades away too fast for me. It's more of a spray then a mist to me. This is probably one of the few that I will buy from VS. I am allergic to certian fragrance's scents, but I I mostly prefer floral over fruit or food.

Foundations -Maybelline - Dream Matte Mousse
shinewin 7/3/2010 3:23:00 PM
When I heard of this foundation, I was thinking it would be thick and pasty like melted marshmellows. I like the concealer, so i decided to buy the foundation. Turns out I don't like it at all. It's very hard to blend, takes too much time to blend. If you buy the wrong color, it will look like you have creme on your face. I have oily skin, so hours later after I apply it, the foundation will look very shiny and if it's on hot day, it might even run off my face. The texture is thick, so you will run out fast! It also look cakey on me since i have large pores. Will update as I use it. I have oily/combo skin with mild acne, large pores, acne scars, uneven texture, and sensitive skins.

Lotions/ Creams -Unlisted Brand - Jerome Privee SPA Body Lotion
shinewin 7/3/2010 3:18:00 PM
This Lotion is a good price for a 34oz bottle. It comes with a pump, so that's a good thing. The scent is like fresh water or ocean breeze. Not too strong and it doesn't give me a headache. It's going to take me awhile to finish just one bottle. After the lotion settled and dry into your skin, it makes your skin baby soft and also when you sniff your skin, it smell like you just took a fresh shower. This is a good light texture lotion for summer, spring, and fall. For winter you will probably need something thicker. My skins haven't rashed up yet and it's been a few days since I use this lotion. Will update as I go. I am not a big lotion person. I rather use natural scent lotion, or no scent at all. Some how my skin gets irritated when I use fragrance lotion.

Scrubs -Biore - Pore Perfect Pore Unclogging Scrub
shinewin 7/3/2010 3:12:00 AM
I love this cleanser because it makes my skin feel very clean and fresh afterward. It can be harsh if you have sensitive skins, so i recommend using it 2 times a week. It helps reduces pimple but it dont really help preventing it. I would buy it again for the good scrubbing, but if i can find something better to replace this then i wouldn't buy it no more. I have oily/combo skin with mild acne, large pores, acne scars, uneven texture, and sensitive skins.

Cleansers -Biore - Steam Activated Cleanser with SteamActiv Beads
shinewin 7/3/2010 3:09:00 AM
I was hoping this will make my skin softer or fresh after coming out from the shower. It didn't so much as a cleanser. I would say the ice fighting cleanser is much better than this. I love the beads that's in it, it help exfoiliates, but other then that I would buy it again.

Eyeliner -Lancome - Le Crayon Khol - Noir Lapis
shinewin 7/3/2010 3:06:00 AM
This pencil liner is rough on my eyes, i kind of have to struggle a little bit when gliding along my lash line. It wont stay and will fade away during the day. I would say it last about 2 to 3 hours on me in a normal sunny day. Many in the winter time it might last 5 to 6 hours. About me, I have oily skin including my waterline. My sensitive eyes will water if it's too hot or windy. I am always on the search for a waterproof liner that will stay put on my bottom lash line without smudging and on my waterline without fading. I try many brands already.

Lipstick -Maybelline - Color Sensational Pearl
shinewin 7/3/2010 3:00:00 AM
I got a few of these lipsticks. I was so impress with the original line that I had to try out the Pearl line, but I was wrong! The pearl line is very sheer and too much shimmer. I dont like shimmery lipsticks. It's like a dry lip gloss. It goes on smooth and moisturizes my lip enough, but the color payoff sucks. Don't waste your money unless you like sheer shimmery lipsticks.

Treatments -Palmers - Skin Success Eventone Fade Cream
shinewin 2/2/2010 1:33:00 PM
I can't find the soap review, so i guess i will post my review here in the cream section. I am currently using the Plamers Skin Success Eventone Fade Facial soap. I have only use it 3 to 4 times and it makes my face very moisturizing. I dont know if i am allergic to this soap or not, but every time i use it i wake up with running nose and sneezing. The smell of the soap itself is not too over powering, i can handle it. I had the cream, but it's hard for me to go through the day without feeling icky or touching the cream, or at night it will get on my pillow case. So i gave up on the cream and then i found the soap version. I just hope the soap will work as effectively as the cream. I will update in a few weeks to let you guys know if it makes my freckles and scars disappear or even fade.

Makeup Brushes -E.L.F. - Eyeshadow Brush
shinewin 1/28/2010 2:42:00 AM
BEST Brush ever!!! This is way softer than a MAC brush!! Work very well with shadows and blending wise. So affordable, i dont know how elf make profits!! I started out with 2 of these brushes and now i have like over 30 of them. The original white handle eye shadow brushes is better than their new studio line eye shadow brush. This is a must have you wont regret it.

I like this tweezer. It's big but it grabs my eyebrows hair very good. I probably need some back up ones. Will buy again.

Palettes -E.L.F. - Elements 4-pan Compact
shinewin 1/28/2010 2:37:00 AM
I love these elements shadows. I like the fact you can customize them to how you like them and move them around. I just wish they would have more color shades selections. And the applicator brush is kind of useless, but you can always set that aside for some other uses. This is well worth your money. Even if you dont like elf's shadows, you can buy the compact for other shadows you like.
