Lipstick -MAC - Sharp Beige - Deneuve Collection
muakitten 1/20/2006 10:13:00 PM
Sharp Beige is a medium beige pink on my naturally very pink lips. I'd say this color is a cooler-toned Twig in Lustre formula. Overall, it's very nice and natural looking. Works great in a professional business environment. I really love the lustre formula for its glossy shine and moiturizing feel. This shade is LE. For reference, I'm a PPP (NW15).

Eyeliner -MAC - Eye Kohl Lichen
muakitten 1/20/2006 10:09:00 PM
Love this shimmery olive green color. It's darker than Rosemary & Thyme. It really brings out the green in my blue/green eyes and works beautifully with Thunder Eyes e/s quad from the Icon 3 collection - Catherine Deneuve. I just wish it didn't smudge so much, but that the nature of these eye kohls. This is LE.

Lipstick -MAC - Strawberry Blonde
muakitten 1/20/2006 9:55:00 PM
Strawberry Blonde is a very pretty color. If you're familiar with LE The Girl Next Door lustre lipstick released by MAC in February of 2004, this one is just one shade deeper/brighter. Very nice for spring and summer, and it really brightens up my PPP (NW15) complexion. I really love the lustre formula for its glossy shine and moiturizing feel. This shade is LE.

Lotions/ Creams -Eucerin - Daily Replenishing Lotion
muakitten 1/13/2006 12:57:00 AM
I don't know about the alarmist review below alluding to a cancer scare. That will not stop me from using this GREAT product. In my opinion, living to age 100 is highly overrated -- have you ever BEEN to a nursing home? They're miserable places. Anyhoo, I digress. This is hands-down the BEST, low-cost and effective body lotion I've ever used. I bought it after reading that Carmindy from What Not To Wear swears by it. I read the ingredients and noticed they're all high-quality moisturizers, no mineral oil in sight! Plus, it has no scent, so it's non-offensive and won't clash with my fragrance of the day. It's absorbs quicky and is non-greasy, too. Major rave!
Ingredients: Water, Sunflower Seed Oil (helianthus annuus), Petrolatum, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Octyldodecanol, Caprylic/CapricTriglyceride, Stearic Acid, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol, Lanolin Alcohol, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Cholesterol, Carbomer, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, BHT.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Chromeglass--ALL
muakitten 1/12/2006 9:01:00 PM
Chromeglass is described by MAC as "Super-reflective: Potently stylish: the unique chrome-cast fusion of pearled metal and M·A·C Lipglass shine. Brilliantly racy: fashionably "fast"... When it comes to lips, polish them with Chromeglass. Limited edition."
Chromeglass is very frosty and highly pigmented. The frost is creamy smooth, though, and chrome-looking, not sparkly/glittery. They definitely give that porn-star look kind of shine. They have a chrome (dark silver) colored cap and a brush applicator. These don't have a very strong or sweet scent--just a very faint vanilla scent. On the lips, they feel very smooth and non-sticky. They seem to last pretty long, too. These cost $16.50 US ($2.50 more than Lipglass).
I got Chromaliving (very light pink), Uberpeach (true light peach--a chrome version of MAC Precocious Lipglass), and Show Coral (medium coral--a chrome version of MAC Wonderstuck Lustreglass).
Tip: I've found Chromeglass works best over a lipstick or a Lipglass to help it *adhere* better. If you're a MAC addict like me, these are worth checking out!

Fragrances -Coty - Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker
muakitten 1/10/2006 4:31:00 PM
I ♥ Lovely! I have to admit that I tried it after seeing Sarah Jessica Parker on Oprah and after smelling a scent strip in a magazine. The description of it being a soft, everyday type of scent is completely accurate. I wear this to work without worrying that it may be too strong and overpowering. On me, it smells very clean and feminine, plus it lasts all day.
The bottle is simple but beautiful. I read that SJP was inspired by the shape of an egg, because she liked how it felt in her hand. On Issac Mizrahi's show SJP said Lovely is based on her signature scent of 20 years, which includes a street vendor perfume oil, a unisex fragrance and a more commercial fragrance, and that she likes the idea of layering.
I usually gravitate toward strong oriental scents (Hanae Mori Butterfly, Stila Creme Bouquet, Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb), so this is a nice scent to have in my arsenal. I got a gift set for $55 US from Nordstrom.com that came with a 1.7 oz. spray bottle, a body lotion and an adorable roll-on tube. It's worth the price, and I will definitely repurchase when I run out.

Blush -L'Oreal - Blush Delice - Front-Page Peach
muakitten 1/9/2006 5:19:00 PM
Front-Page Peach is a gorgeous true peach blush with lots of pigment and loads of golden shimmer. Think Nars Orgasm on acid. This is prettier "on" than Nars Orgasm blush. I'm a PPP (MAC NW15) and it gives me a peachy-glowy look. It's LE with the Photomagique collection of Jan. 2006, so get it while you can! (NOTE TO L'OREAL: This should NOT be LE! It's a fabulous color!) Learn more by going to http://www.lorealparisusa.com/cosmetics/photomagique/

Eye Shadow -MAC - Slip Pink
muakitten 12/28/2005 10:49:00 PM
This is a really unique e/s because of the multi-colored shimmer. If you can wear pink e/s, don't pass this one up. I have blue-green eyes and find Slip Pink very wearable and so, so pretty. I love the color and the sparkles it has. Note that this is not a Lustre e/s as another reviewer said--it's a Velvet. It has a super silky texture and glides on so nicely. It's great paired with Sunday Best and Flirty Number e/s from the Lingerie collection. It's LE, of course.

Lipstick -MAC - Body Suit
muakitten 12/27/2005 11:01:00 PM
This is the PERFECT nude-pink lipstick for me. It's the pink version of High Tea lipstick, my HG nude. This is a Lustre formula, and it's LE, unfortunately so I plan to get a backup. This has the same slight pearliness that High Tea does, so it's not milky or flat on the lips. My lips are naturally very pink, so this is a great everyday lipstick. For reference, I'm a PPP who wears NW15.

Lip Treatments -MAC - MAC for Disney TLC -Tempting Tillie
muakitten 12/17/2005 12:15:00 AM
Tempting Tillie is a fantastic nude shade--not too brown and no orange tones. The packaging is adorable. The Tint Toons aka Disney TLCs are quite a bit more pigmented than the other TLCs I have, especially the Luellas ones (those are sheer). Tempting Tillie does have SPF 15, but you cannot smell it in the product. I think MAC might have added more sweetness into these, because they smell far better than the regular TLCs. The product really keeps my lips hydrated--I love it. This is LE, so if you can get your hands on it, I recommend you do. Costs $14 USD. (I have pictures of all 5 with this series in my muakittenpix profile.)

Lip Treatments -MAC - MAC For Disney TLC- Miss Bunny
muakitten 12/17/2005 12:14:00 AM
This is actually called Miss Bunny, not Bunny Pink (that was the LE Playboy for MAC lipstick.) Miss Bunny is a nice mauve pink shade. The packaging is adorable. The Tint Toons aka Disney TLCs are quite a bit more pigmented than the other TLCs I have, especially the Luellas ones (those are sheer). Miss Bunny does have SPF 15, but you cannot smell it in the product. I think MAC might have added more sweetness into these, because they smell far better than the regular TLCs. The product really keeps my lips hydrated--I love it. This is LE, so if you can get your hands on it, I recommend you do. Costs $14 USD.

Fragrances -Viktor & Rolf - Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb
muakitten 11/25/2005 5:29:00 PM
I loved Flowerbomb from the first sniff. It's a sweet but not overwhelming fragrance on me that blooms into a soft feminine scent. It's very long-lasting on me, which is a plus since a 1.7 oz. bottle of it costs $95 USD. I think the bottle is very chic-looking, and I like that the liquid inside is pink-colored. Other perfume faves of mine include Aquolina Pink Sugar, Prada by Prada, Stila Creme Bouquet, Hanae Mori Butterfly (pink), and Lovely Sarah Jessica Parker.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Luxuriate
muakitten 10/21/2005 12:59:00 AM
I agree with that this lipglass is similar to Enchantress. It has the same pearliness but no sparkles. It doesn't have Enchantress' iridescence, though. I have very pink-pigmented lips naturally, so Luxuriate doesn't show up very well on me. I like it, but I don't love it and won't repurchase. (It actually looks prettier in the tube than it does on my lips). If you don't have very pigmented lips, this will look beautiful on you, though.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Adventurous
muakitten 10/21/2005 12:55:00 AM
I have to agree with the poster below. I wasn't expecting this to be so pretty! The shimmer is soooo pretty. The best way I can describe it is to say Adventurous looks like Lovechild's prettier younger sister or the pinker (less brownish) version of Viva Glam V lipglass. Don't miss out on this one if you like mauve colors. Sadly, it's LE, but if you're a fan of Chanel Glossimers, this color is similar to Pagoda.
