Eye Shadow -MAC - Mulch eyeshadow
Asianbarbiee91 1/17/2010 11:19:00 AM
I think that everyone should own this product. Its a lovely shimmery brown (with no glitter specks). It's super blendable and absolutely lovely to use as an all-over shadow or just slightly on the outer V to make your eyes pop. This is one of MAC's staple & I can definitely see why.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Hypnotizing (Love Lace LE)
Asianbarbiee91 1/17/2010 11:16:00 AM
LOVELY taupe-ish color. This is a Frost but it runs velvetty on me. I love this eyeshadow to use on the crease or the outer V. It blends very easily due to its super soft quality and stays put all day. I don't even need to use my TFSI underneath this. This beats the other taupe colors I have from MAC (satin taupe, shale). I wish this wasn't LE, because I'd most def. buy over & over again. Unfortuate that I have buy several more and stock up. =/ but totally worth the buy & experience. On my asian-toned skin, this even gives off a navy blue sheen which is so unique and pretty.

Highlighters -MAC - by candlelight
Asianbarbiee91 1/17/2010 11:10:00 AM
The MSF that I was always searching for. This is really PERFECT. It beat Refined, Porcelain Pink, Soft & Gentle, and Perfect Topping all together. This seems to show up more than the other MSFs that I've tried, and seems to go fairly well with any blush that I have on. I have used it on top of MAC Dainy & even NARS super orgasm (these are 2 completely diff. colors) & this MSF pairs perfectly. I also use it as an all-over highlighter and it gives me this super pretty, girly glow. But it doesn't look cakey or muddy (which I have experienced from Refined/Perfect Topping). Anyway this is LE, so hurry & get yourself one. You won't be disappointed! You can opt for a natural, peachy look or for a sexy bronzed look with this MSF.. but it all comes down to how you use it and what you pair it with.

Brows -BeneFit Cosmetics - Instant Brow Pencil (All Colors)
Asianbarbiee91 1/17/2010 11:05:00 AM
This seems to be product that people either hate or love. As for me, this is PURE love. I have always shyed away from powders or creams because they tend to smear/erase & I never seem to achieve that perfect "arched" look. I have used Maybelline's brow pencil for years (Charcoal gray- which is discontinued now). And still, I was unsatisfied. I have very sparse eyebrows. It's impossible to leave the house w/o having them filled. So, eventually I got my eyebrows SEMI-tattooed. which is getting them inked but eventually, it begins fading/diminishing. (I'm afraid to get full on permanent tattoos on my face). I'm happy with this "semi-tattoo" because it looks oh so natural. But then again, it eventually fades... (I've gotten it re-touched twice in 2 years already). Anyway, I've decided to go eyebrow pencil hunting to avoid getting the touchups for 100$ everytime. I stopped by Benefit @ my local Macy's and I liked the fact that this said "Instant brow pencil". I mean, who likes spending hours on their eyebrows like me? I got this in "light to medium".. & the formula is creamy so it applies very easily. I use a light hand so they don't look drawn on. they look super natural & happily, this beats any of the eyebrow pencils/formulas that I have ever used. It literally stays put ALL day. the pigmentation is perfect, not too light nor heavy. The only con is the damn PRICE$$. $20 for eyebrow pencil and this thing goes down REALLY fast. It's so worth it though.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Resort Life Lipgelee
Asianbarbiee91 1/15/2010 10:20:00 AM
I am a huge fan of MAC products but this is my first Lipgelee purchase. Like the other reviewers have indicated, most Lipgelees are very sheer with little to no pigmentation. For years I have stuck with lipglasses. Unlike the lipglasses, these are NOT sticky! I LOVE this specific color. It is a glittery nude beige that would look glamorous over any nude lipstick. This one is pretty pigmented and it feels so buttery & soft on my lips. Overall, I would purchase again. A must have for nude lip fanatics like me.

Lipstick -NYX - Narcissus 
Asianbarbiee91 10/24/2009 1:34:00 PM
I LOVE this lipstick! It is a bubblegum-barbie pink with a tint of neon to it. VERY sexy & wearable. Would look best with black eyeliner+black mascara and NO eyeshadow. Especially for those with fair complexions, this will make you look incredibly sexy. I personally like this better than Saint Germain.. it gives me an edge

Lip Gloss -Bath and Body Works - Liplicious Tasty Lip Jewels - Strawberry Bling
Asianbarbiee91 10/16/2009 11:06:00 PM
I love this lipgloss... I am a NUDE lip whore, so I am quite picky when choosing beige-ish lipsticks or lipglosses. This one is very shimmery and gives your lip a juicy look. It is velvetty smooth, though you can sometimes feel the micronized glitters. I'm 18, and I don't find this appealing for the younger crowd...because this can really give you those pornstar lips.

Lipstick -NYX - Round Lipstick in Orange Soda #588
Asianbarbiee91 9/28/2009 6:09:00 PM
One of my favorite nude lippies. I was surprised to find this better than some of my MAC nudes. Fortunately, a lady at a boutique shop was so nice enough to give this to me for a DOLLAR..So I can't really comment on the price, besides the fact that it was dirt cheap. Anyway, the only con to this lipstick is the way it might slightly crust like most nudes. I find it annoying =( Other than that, this is VERY creamy..highly pigmented and gives you that perfect light peachy nude.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Local Colour
Asianbarbiee91 7/28/2009 9:30:00 PM
I wish I can give 0 lippies to this one. Ladies, beware: This is NOT a dazzleglass... it MAY be categorized as a dazzleglass and look like one in the tube but the shimmer/glitter payoff is beyond horrible. This comes off way too sheer for my liking and I know most dazzleglasses are sheer but this one has NO color for my medium pigmented lips. On the other hand, there is no SHIMMER. $20 for a clear gloss? Hell no. Returned it the next day. I prefer Via venetto

Eye Shadow -MAC - Unbasic White
Asianbarbiee91 7/28/2009 11:19:00 AM
Unbasic white truly is unbasic. The starflash texture is incredibly smooth and ultra silky. This is great to use as a highlighter under the brows. It also looks amazing to use on the inner corner of my eyes- truly makes them wide alert and beautiful. I just wish it had a slight sheen of color to it-- either light pink or goldish like the vanilla pigment but that's just my personal preference. You can't go wrong with this purchase. Everyone needs a little bit of white in their makeup stash

Eye Shadow -MAC - Pigment in Vanilla
Asianbarbiee91 7/23/2009 6:42:00 PM
I am really confused about all the rave reviews. I am a fair skinned asian with slight yellow undertones and this pigment just does not work for me.. It looks too frosty as an highlighter or eyeshadow and I had no choice but to return it. Though this product does looks quite lovely when I swatch it on my hand, it makes my face look overly frosty or shiny--even when I use it subtly. Too bad for me this product didn't reach its expectation.
