Fragrances -Origins - Spring Fever
HIYELLOW 3/25/2005 10:11:00 AM
Yuck! I want to like this fragrance, and some days I do, but after a couple hours I can't wait to wash it off. It is SO STRONG! Smells like a soured orange, mixed with grass and lemon on steroids. I put the bottle in my car meaning to give it away and now the smell won' disappear.

Fragrances -Origins - Ginger Essence
HIYELLOW 3/25/2005 10:08:00 AM
This smell is somewhat nauseating. The price is terrible, considering Avon sells a scent just like it and the Body Shop sells Zinzibar which is spicy and less chemical smelling. This is definitely not a fresh smell.

Lotions/ Creams -Perlier - Perlier Olivaruim Treatment Butter with Pure Olive Oil
HIYELLOW 12/16/2004 7:46:00 PM
LOVE THIS. The smell is like Olive Oil but sweeter. The consistency is rich and thick. Great for dry parts or women who want to stay soft. The Olivarium bar soap is EXCELLENT too. It's a beautiful green color and smells fab.

Lotions/ Creams -Perlier - Pink peony hand & body cream
HIYELLOW 12/16/2004 7:44:00 PM
I received the Pink Peony bath gel and lotion as part of a large purchase from HSN. Pink Peony does smell like a mature lady's fragrance. It reminds me of my grandmother and 92 year old aunt. It' weird b/c I kind of liked it. It is very strong and musky. The formulations are great though the smell is too overpowering

Eye Shadow -MAC - Golden Lemon pigment
HIYELLOW 12/16/2004 7:39:00 PM
True enough this color is beautiful. I purchased it at the Pro Store in Hollywood along with orange, olive and kelly green pigments. Got it home and realized, I can't wear this often. It's a frost and the lemon, gold, yellow color makes it sparkle...too much. Flecks and dust drop all over the face and make a mess. Good in small doses, a night out or for halloween. I've opted for Chrome Yellow e/s which gives me the color without all the shimmer.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Pigment in Tan
HIYELLOW 12/16/2004 7:34:00 PM
LOVE IT!. I have been experimenting with pigments for a while. Just happened to pic up tan thinking it was melon. I put it on and WOW. The frost is not too much. I'm an NC35, brown skinned girl and this looks beautiful. A bit orange but almost matches my skin. It changes a bit depending on the lip color I wear. I like the Spice lipliner with Honeyflower lipgloss and a bit of Enchantress on top. This color would be gorgeous on dark skinned women.

Lipstick -MAC - underground
HIYELLOW 12/16/2004 7:32:00 PM
Great matte formula. This is good for career gals who mean business. I wear matte to avoid that juicy, shiny look that distracts men/people in general. However, Mac mattes make my lips look great and I receive complements when I wear any Mac Matte color.Anyway, this is a brown color with a tiny bit of copper. Good alone or with Oh Baby on top or any peach or brown lipgloss.

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre - Honeyflower [DISCONTINUED]
HIYELLOW 12/16/2004 7:28:00 PM
Caramel brown, lustre formula, with slight, small silver flecks. One of my favorites. I am an NC 35 with dark hair, brown eyes, light brown skin. I wear this with Spice liner for a peachy look. Chestnut or Mahogany liner for a brown look. With Trace Gold blush and Tan pigment shadow the look is complete. This is a great neutral color by itself.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Bow Belle
HIYELLOW 12/11/2004 1:44:00 PM
I'm an NC 35 with dark hair. I tried LittleVI first, but it was so pale and nothing that I took it back. The artist at the Mac counter suggested BowBelle because it has more oopmh. It looks beautiful over Mac Odyssey lipstick. Fuschia/Purple color. Very nice for evening.

Blush -MAC - Trace Gold
HIYELLOW 12/11/2004 1:41:00 PM
This color is fabulous. I'm an NC25-35 with dark hair. When I put this on my skin looks softer, glowing and beautiful. There is some slight color=yellow/gold/light peach-, but it just makes the skin and whatever blush I have on look better and smoother!

Blush -MAC - Frost Blush in Margin
HIYELLOW 12/11/2004 1:40:00 PM
Margin is a burnt orange, tawny blush with shimmer. It is a frost. I like the color, but I must apply it lightly because it's intense. I'm an NC 25-35 with dark hair. I probably won't have to purchase it for a long time because a little goes a long way.

Lipstick -MAC - Viva Glam I - the original
HIYELLOW 3/23/2004 9:39:00 PM
Stunning! I'm an NC35 with dark hair and light/yellow skin. After trying VivaGlam III, I thought the other VivaGlams have to be good. I wanted a pure red. Russian Red was TOO bright for me-better for pale skin. Viva GlamI is the perfect red for olive and tanned colored skin. It looks beautiful with Succulent lipgloss over the top. It becomes more orange. With Shockolate lipglass over the top, it turns darker. This red lipstick is beautiful! My new red staple.

Lotions/ Creams -Origins - Ginger souffle
HIYELLOW 3/23/2004 9:08:00 PM
Smells pretty good. The consistency is thin and rather watery. I don't put it on until summer time when I just need something light and airy. It's okay but the smell wears off quickly.

Scrubs -St. Ives - Apricot Scrub Blemish and Blackhead Control
HIYELLOW 3/23/2004 9:02:00 PM
I've been using this for at least 5 years. There's no reason to switch. When my skin feels/ looks dull or my pores are a little large looking, I use this and rinse off. My skin is noticeably softer and brighter. It smells like almonds. It's great. A little rough but that's what's exfoliating the dead skin cells.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Lipglass in Succulent
HIYELLOW 3/23/2004 8:46:00 PM
Succulent is absolutely HOT! It does look garish in the tube, but ohhhhh!!! Slather it on bare lips-make sure you have on liner. I like to wear Viva GlamI and put a light layer of Succulent over the top. It's shockingly, eye-catchingly beautiful. I'm an NC35 with a lovely tan and dark hair. It truly makes lips look SUCCULENT.
