Lip Gloss -Revlon - Brush on Shine Lip Gloss-Passion Punch
rated 5 of 5
linochka 4/9/2003 11:30:00 AM

This is from the new Spring 2003 Collection. This looks like a bright Fuschia Pink colour but it is not as pigmented on lips, although still bright, it is shiny and smooth and very lightweight and not sticky. I like the wand and the brush on the end. This product also has no smell and no taste which is a plus sometimes. It doesnt stay on for long unlike say Lancome Juicy Tubes--their staying power is pretty long for a gloss. Overall a good gloss, and it was very cheap, i paid $1.90 for mine--was on sale and I had coupons. You cant beat that price! Very pretty for bright spring/summer weekend

This is from the new Spring 2003 Collection. This is shiny and smooth and very lightweight and not sticky. Very nice pinkish mauve colour. I like the wand and the brush on the end. This product also has no smell and no taste which is a plus sometimes. It doesnt stay on for long unlike say Lancome Juicy Tubes--their staying power is pretty long for a gloss; a pretty bright pinkish mauve. Overall a good gloss, and it was very cheap, i paid $1.90 for mine--was on sale and I had coupons. You cant beat that price!

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Brush on Shine- Punchy Peach

This is from the new Spring 2003 Collection. This is a very bright colour but it is not as pigmented on lips, although still brigh, it is shiny and smooth and very lightweight and not sticky. I like the wand and the brush on the end. This product also has no smell and no taste which is a plus sometimes. It doesnt stay on for long unlike say Lancome Juicy Tubes--their staying power is pretty long for a gloss. But this is a pretty bright pinkish peach-reminds me of Hawaiian punch, its bright, but not thik, not much shimmer but lots of shine. Overall a good gloss, and it was very cheap, i paid $1.90 for mine--was on sale and I had coupons. You cant beat that price!

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Lip Glide-Rose Lacquer 120
rated 3 of 5
linochka 4/9/2003 11:17:00 AM

This is a twist pen kind of gloss with unique sponge tip at the end for application. The colour is light shimmery pinkish nude--hard to describe-very pretty I think. I have light skin and it looks good, but when i bought it I was very tanned and it looked even better in my opinion. It wears well, the colour fades a bit on your lips over time-it also has a fruity-perfume like smell. Its an ok gloss, worth it if you like unique sponge tip design and if you get it on sale, like I did-2 for a price of one. I dont think its worth its regular price, which can be as high as $9.50 in drugstores and supermarkets. I would buy this again, if I run out-I have way too many glosses there, so may be in next century or so. This is the only Lipglide colour that worked for me.

Eyeliner -Black Radiance - Professional eyeliner pencil

This is a great product, wears well, long pencil and is under 2 bucks! I got it in blue navy colour and I love it. I think this company is geared towards darker skinned ladies, but it works great for me, I am very light. The pigment is great! And you cant beat the price! Get it!

Lip Gloss -Elizabeth Arden - High Shine Lipgloss in Radiant Mauve
rated 3 of 5
linochka 3/10/2003 9:31:00 AM

Its a nice gloss in a wand. The colour is very pretty purpley pink and the staying power is good. Its not very sticky like many other glosses and it wears well. The only real thing that is making me return this product is its smell and flavour. It is very heavily scented (like perfume or deodorant or something) and it kills me to have that on my lips, I always feel perfume in my month! Yuck! If it would be fruity it wont be that bad. I would go with Neurogena glosses instead, similar packaging and colour selection, slightly fruity smell that goes away quickly!

Lip Treatments -MAC - Lip Conditioner

I wanted to like this product, but unfortunately it kinda burned my lips, was pretty irritating. The texture is very smooth however, glides on nice, smells nice, not a strong scent or taste though. Packaging is very cute, tube-like. I wont buy it again, b/c it has too many igredients for a simple lip balm, and bc some igredients I guess irritated, and I never had any problems before with any brands or lipsticks or lip products...Not worth a try for $9 in my opinion. There are other petroleum based products out there, that are cheaper.

Highlighters -Victoria's Secret - Luminous Touch Highlighter for Cheeks and Eyes
rated 1 of 5
linochka 1/10/2003 10:51:00 AM

This is just crap in my opinion. I have this in bronze shimmer but they come in plenty of other colours too. The packaging is so cute and the colour is so nice, but once applied, it looks bad and its too creamy so it runs, and doesn't stay on. I am returning this one back to the store. If you want a creamy eyeshadow or cheek colour thats better and cheeper, try Revlon creamy eyeshadows and blushes for the same effect.

Eyeliner -Almay - one coat gel liner

This looked like a good quality product until I put it on my eyes, and it irriated them so much (without contacts). I won't buy it again, not worth it.

Eyes -Physicians Formula - Mascara
rated 1 of 5
linochka 1/3/2003 10:28:00 PM

Mascara and other pencils form that company are very harsh and dry. A soon as I opened this mascara, I saw how dried up it was. I don't know how long its been in the store, but I got it in Target which opened not long ago, so it must be the product (I guess thats how it supposed to be). It does not go on lashes, only chunks of mascara that are dried up, like black flakes. I bought it bc I wear contacts from time to time and it claimed to be safe for sensitive eyes and contacts. Well I would not buy anything from Phys. Formula. Every time I get something I end up wasting my money. Plus the mascara packaging is so ugly and cheap.

Eyes -Physicians Formula - Gentle Wear Eye Pencil
rated 1 of 5
linochka 1/3/2003 10:21:00 PM

This pencil sucks! Not only did it irritate my eyes (unlike other products) it didnt go on smooth, almost tore my eyelids. It claims to be good for eye contact wearers, but forget about that, I didnt even put my contacts in, bc just testing it made my eyes sting. I returned it next day. Same goes for mascara and other pencils form that company, very harsh and dry.

Lip Treatments -Lancome - VENEFIT Levres (Moisturizing Lip Nectar SPF8)
rated 3 of 5
linochka 1/2/2003 10:46:00 PM

Good product, but very expensive for lip balm/lip moisturizer. Cute packaging, pleasant texture and smell, I would buy again if it would cost a bit less. I just got 'dessert essense lip rescure' which is only $2.00 and does the same except no sunblock. Good if you want sunblock, tube packaging, and smooth application.
