Lip Gloss -MAC - Lustreglass - Wonderstruck

I like this formula more than the lipglass formula, as it's not as sticky and has some slip. This particular color is a pretty rosey pink on the lips, not too bright. Some shimmer, but since it's on the sheer side, it's not too obvious. good for MMM ladies.

Amazing teal e/s with golden shimmer. Perrrrrfect for tanned ladies -- gives an exotic shot of color, esp paired with nude/bronze on the rest of the face. good pigmentation too.

Lip Gloss -Chanel - Coral Reef glossimer

Pretty peachy pink with shimmer color. On the slightly sheer side, great quality like all the chanel glossimers. I don't reach for it that often as it doesn't show up on my plummy lips as much as I'd like. looks great with tanned skin tones.

LOVE. such a great tool...has on one end a cream e/s brush and the other, a loose e/s brush which I can use on my pigments, powders, etc. works great.

This is nude?? It's a mocha brown with shimmers....that makes my lips look darker and everything that I use with it, darker. The pencil itself is nice and it comes with a brush on the other end for blending, but nude this is not.

One of my going out scents. Fresh, zesty and sexy! I always get compliments on it. It is strong tho, so use a little -- goes a long way!

Not in love. wore it one evening and saw pics later -- so much darker than my skin color! It's glowy and has a nice consistency but unless you're an exact color match, keep looking.

Lip Gloss -Chantecaille - Lipgloss in Guava

Yes, it's pretty. Yes, the packaging is gorg. Yes, I'd repurchase. The buttery goodness that is Chantecaille glosses is something to be tried. And this sheer pretty pink is natural looking and adds a little pop to my pigmented lips. Looks great with my tan.

Pink bronze in the pan, gorgeously milled with fine shimmer that makes you glowy. BUT this one is just too frosty and looks unnatural on my olive skin. but the quality is great. cargo has better blushes tho.

Pretty peachy/bronzey/rosy flush on my NC40 skin. has fine shimmer and love the big pan size -- allows my blush brush to pick up enough product. gave it 3 stars because i don't reach for it as often as my other bronzey blushes. it's 3.75 really ;p

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre in Hug Me

A ylbb lipstick that works on many skintones. However, with my pigmented lips, it hardly shows up and kind of "cancels" any lipcolor like an eraser ;\ Otherwise, a pretty color.

I use this for undereye circles...great color match for my olive skin, but it CREASES. ugh. I have yet to find such a color for my skin though so I'm hesitant to switch. it works for now.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast

Pretty decent mascara. Comparable to Chanel's Inimitable (not so inimitable eh?) glossy black that separates well and is good for day. Nothing dramatic or in your face volume. edit: i bumped it to 4 lippies as I find myself reaching for this a lot.
