Lip Gloss -Three Custom Color Specialists - Lip Gloss
surfwidow 5/3/2006 1:50:00 PM
Im new to this brand. Actually, this is the first and only thing I've ever bought from them. I bought the l/g in "Sandstone" b/c it's for a nude lip. It has a yellowish hue so that no pink comes thru which is VERY important to me for the ultimate nude lip. But unfortunately, it had no staying power what-so-ever! I gave it several tries!! It also has very little shine in my opinion. I had much success though with my Smashbox gels in the color "Film". Im still on the look for the PERFECT nude lip. If anybody has any suggestions please let me know.. I wouldnt repurchase this again, but I would like to try more of this line of cosmetics.

Lip Gloss -Fresh - Gloss Absoloute-Rose Parfait

I LOVE this pretty gloss. Not so much for the color(I usually only buy biege or taupe colors) But for the texture and staying power. I've not paid that much for a gloss in a LONG time but this is a must have! My only thought is for this price, it should come with a little lip-brush!! I would re-purchase this again and Im hopping they will someday come out with a taupe colored gloss with the same formula!

Cleansers -Dermalogica - PreCleanse

This is an excellent precleanser for getting off EVERY bit of makeup before you wash. I felt like it didnt come completely off with water like it states it does, but its no big deal since I knew I was going to use a cleanser anyways. Breakouts are much less when my skin gets clean deep down and I feel this product does the job. The price is a little steep for me although comprable to all the other oil cleansers. I will repurchase, but I'll try to find it cheaper on Ebay next time.

Liquid -Illuminare - Ultimate All Day Foundation

I have bought EVERY foundation in the High-end catagories. This has been the least expensive and the ONLY one that works for oily skin. Ultimate all day is true to its name. You also dont need to powder or touch-up during the day whatsoever. The ONE product to buy if you have breakuots/oily skin. I've been using this for 3 months now and have had great results. My face can be a cystic, red gross mess and I smooth on the Ultimate all day foundation with their special applicater and my face looks flawless for the WHOLE day...no joke! Its worth 3 times as much as they charge as far as Im concerened. **UPDATE**!! I have read some of the bad reviews today and I can see how they may not have had success with this. The **KEY** is to exfoliate & apply with the flocked applicator!! Otherwise You'll not have a great result. I've bought EVERY foundation (For oily skin mostly) And this is by far superior to all other brans no matter how expensive! I generally never buy drugstore brands...maybe twice in 15 years. Do your oily/acne prone skin a favor and buy this foundation, it REALLY works!!
