Eye Shadow -MAC - Sketch eye shadow
lindsey835 10/17/2007 1:37:00 PM
Probably my favorite MAC shadow, Sketch is a gorgeous deep purple with subtle maroon undertones. This shade really makes hazel eyes pop and also makes for an excellent liner. Overall, a very unique shade that I will certainly repurchase.

Eyeliner -MAC - Kohl Power in Raven
lindsey835 10/17/2007 1:32:00 PM
Like several reviewers, I bought Raven based on a hand swatch and was a little disappointed to find that the unique color barely shows up when applied. The color intitially looks like a deep plum with metallic red shimmer. However, on the lids it fades out to a warm grey. A nice alternative to basic black, but nothing spectacular.

Lip Gloss -Ulta - Super Shiny Lip Gloss Goddess
lindsey835 10/17/2007 1:26:00 PM
This is the first Ulta gloss I've tried and I was very impressed with both the color and quality. Goddess is a sparkling peach with pink undertones- the perfect shade to compliment a tan. The gloss has a slight vanilla scent, which is nice and not overpowering.

Blush -MAC - Sheertone Blush Pink Swoon
lindsey835 8/30/2007 12:34:00 PM
I purchased this color to wear in a wedding- it's a beautiful pink that gives a very natural flush to cheeks. Don't be intimidated by the color as it looks in the pan; this one is a keeper! The shade is very similar to LORAC's Desire, but much longer lasting.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Trax
lindsey835 8/29/2007 4:03:00 PM
This is a beautiful deep purple with subtle gold flecks. If you have hazel eyes, this color does a great job of bringing out the green. Excellent lasting power and reasonably priced, this also works well as a liner.

Treatments -Bath and Body Works - True Blue Spa At Your FIngertips Softening Cuticle Oil Stick
lindsey835 8/11/2007 6:56:00 PM
Awful product! The "soft tip" is quite hard- certainly not for use on delicate cuticles. As for the oil, I had a difficult time getting any to dispense at all.

Lip Gloss -Urban Decay - Lube in a Tube - LA
lindsey835 7/9/2007 3:13:00 PM
Lube in a Tube is a very sheer gloss that works best as a lip treatment. With great texture and a minty scent, this helps heal and prevent chapped lips. Plus, it works as a nice base under other glosses. I would highly recommend grabbing the LA/NY pack at TJ Maxx- $6 well spent.

Fragrances -Kiehls - Original Musk EDT
lindsey835 7/9/2007 2:33:00 PM
This "Musk" smells more like spicy dirt; it's a heavy, dated scent that is incredibly masculine. I even tried to regift it to a man, but he also disliked the scent.

Makeup Brushes -Sephora - Bronzer Brush
lindsey835 5/10/2007 7:23:00 PM
After years of loyalty to my beloved NARS Bronzer Brush, I finally found myself needing a replacement. I intended to purchase another when a Sephora employee informed me that the Sephora version is made by the exact same company. After taking this brush home, I can't tell the difference at all. At half the price of NARS, this is a steal!

Powder -Estee Lauder - Double Matte Oil-Control Pressed Powder
lindsey835 5/10/2007 11:37:00 AM
I'm surprised there aren't more reviews for Sunny Bunny, because of all the bronzers I've tried (Nars, Cargo, Lorac, etc.) this one is head and shoulders above the rest. Reasonably priced at $25, this product features a generous split pan of satin suntan & rich satin bronze. I swirl both with a Nars Bronzer Brush and the end result is a perfect sun-kissed glow. The packaging is also adorable- a large compact and mirror that reads: "Why be pretty when you can be gorgeous?" I highly recommend and will continue to buy this again and again.

Lotions/ Creams -Bliss Labs - Naked Body Butter
lindsey835 5/10/2007 11:30:00 AM
Like so many Bliss products, this one is hideously overpriced. While it's a nice lotion that absorbs well, it is in no way worth $32 a tube. Comparable products are easily found at a fraction of the price.

Lip Gloss -LORAC - Mocktail - Guava Tiki
lindsey835 5/10/2007 11:26:00 AM
It's unfortunate that this product doesn't look its color when applied, because it's a really gorgeous pink. However, when worn it's much, much too sheer and barely pink at all. The applicator is wonderful and reminds me of a squeeze tube version of Stila's click pens. Decent lasting power, but just too sheer for the price.

Lipstick -NARS - Flair
lindsey835 4/23/2007 4:56:00 PM
This is a gorgeous berry red that can easily make the transition from Fall/Winter to Spring/Summer. Universally flattering, it's perfect for day or night. Overall, the most versatile red I have found.

Blush -NARS - Deep Throat
lindsey835 4/23/2007 2:05:00 PM
I agree with previous reviewers; while this doesn't look much different from Orgasm, the subtle glow is much lovelier. As with all NARS products, excellent packaging and lasting power.
