Makeup Brushes -MAC - #272 Small Angled Shader (white goat hair) [DISCONTINUED]
rated 4 of 5

30$cdn is expensif for 1 brush, but I havent found a cheaper alternative ( I tend to buy artist or sometimes drug store brushes ). But this brush was a good investement, I use this brush for the crease or create thick line along the lash line that I blend in or "smoke" after with another brush.

The only disapointement, this brush flaired out, but I like it better this way, so its evened-out...

Eye Shadow -MAC - Frost Eye Shadow - Swish
rated 3 of 5
cyens 10/26/2005 10:58:00 PM

UPDATE: I got an allergic reaction to this product, so I removed one lippy, and said I wouldn't repurchase. _________________________________________________________ Extremely shimmery frosty baby pink. It may sound ridiculous, but used gently, this eye shadow is highly versatile for day time and night time looks. Brights out the green in my eyes. I find mac sorta expensive for what is really is, so I don't think I'll repurchase. I might try to find a dupe with an other brand.

The ones I got are gold and square and cost about 7$CDN I think.

Those tweesers are amazing, I can even get those 1mm just growing hair with em'. The cons is your got to replace is about every years when it starts not geting the hair right

These feel plastic on my lips, not very pigmented, drying for the lips and smells like rotten fruit candies. Also in the winter these freeze on my lips to cause very painfull blisters.

Mascara -Maybelline - Unstoppable Mascara [DISCONTINUED]
rated 1 of 5

Ok first of all, you need to be a complete fool to believe anything they say in make-up comercials, specially mascara ones. Technicalily its imposible to lenghten lashes by 50%. What mascara does is give the illusion of lenght, curve or volume. So yes it doesnt lenghten lashes by 50%, but damn they do apear longer with this mascara. Also the non smudging is true. Its also doesnt clump!!!

Bewared, I love what the product did but the fiber in this mascara irratated my eyes badly. I returned this product after trying it 4 times, because I didnt want to pay for something that bad for the health of my eyes. I had nightmare about those fibers killing my eyes. They DO STING!!!!

Eye Shadow -MAC - All eyeshadows
rated 3 of 5

There is a lot of hype around mac eyeshadows, but I think that's because everyone is been brainwashed by commercials. There is shadows of the same quality for 1/8 of the price. I got severe allergic reaction to all MAC eyeshadow because they contain both bismuth oxychloride and carmine, plus a bunch of other garbage you might not want on your face.

Eye Makeup Remover -Marcelle - Soothing Eye Make-Up Remover Gel
rated 3 of 5
cyens 10/19/2005 10:11:00 PM

Doesnt burn my eye and remove all my eye make-up. I won't repurchase just because now I use make-up that is easier to remove. I either just wash my face or use jojoba oil.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Ricepaper Eyeshadow
rated 3 of 5
cyens 10/15/2005 7:11:00 PM

UPDATE: I got an allergic reaction to this product, so I removed one lippy, and said I wouldn't repurchase. I love the color so much I bough a dupe in a mineral eyeshadow. _________________________________________________________ A great versatile golden beige. It looks great alone or as a highlight in the inner coners of the eyes, specially in a smokey brown look. It makes my green eye stand out!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Sushi Flower eyeshadow
rated 3 of 5
cyens 10/14/2005 10:16:00 AM

UPDATE: I got an allergic reaction to this product, so I removed one lippy, and said I wouldn't repurchase. _________________________________________________________ Bright fuishia in the pan, turns in s soft pink-coral on the lid when used gently. This color makes my green eyes stand out. I mainly use this color in the crease to had dept to other softer neutral color. I do think this color is a litle too bright to be fully versatile.

I wouldn't recoment wearing this color alone, packed up on the lid, unless you want to rock a crazy 80's or punk style. If your still a teenager, your young, rock this color to the fullest, if not, try to use it gently or skip it.

Eye Shadow -L'Oreal - Illumination Loose Powder Shadow
rated 1 of 5
cyens 10/11/2005 10:01:00 PM

This is crap. Sorry for my language, but I can't help it, it realy is crap. No pigmentation, no staying power. The container is just a pain in the ass to use. I opened the botton cap and emptied everything in a sample jar, I pressed it to make eye shadow and mixed with lip balm, NOTHING works. This is overall very mediocre product in every way.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Crystal Eyeshadow
rated 3 of 5
cyens 10/8/2005 7:09:00 PM

UPDATE: I got an allergic reaction to this product, so I removed one lippy, and said I wouldn't repurchase. _________________________________________________________ A Lavender-grey with duochrome purple-silver shimmer. Great paired up with a grey or darker purple for a smokey eye look or alone with eye linner for a subtil sophisticated look.

Edit: I used to rarely use it untill I bought moth brown.
