Lip Gloss -NARS - Sweet Dreams
kristenmc1218 2/25/2006 11:44:00 AM
Sweet Dreams is a beautiful peachy pink on me (ppp, nw20); with my very cool undertones, I don't usually go for even a hint of peach, but this really works. It could last longer but is work reapplying.

Blush -NARS - Sin

Sin is a beautiful deep berry color with shimmer that we PPPs must apply with a VERY light hand to avoid looking like clowns. I will never, ever run out for this reason, but I would definitely buy again if I did.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Wishful

Wishful is a very flat beige that does not work with my nw20 complexion and hazel eyes. REVISION--after giving it another chance, I see that it has more dimension and does work!

Eye Shadow -Bare Escentuals - Glimmer- Precious
kristenmc1218 2/19/2006 12:33:00 PM
This is a must for fair, cool-toned BE neutral fans because it does not have too much peach like so many of the other BE neutrals. (I am NW 20 with hazel eyes.) It is not too shimmery and looks beautiful as everyday wash. I have about 20 BE shadows, and this is by far my favorite, rendering Nude Beach, my former favorite, second.

Blush -Tarte - Cheek Stain in Flush
kristenmc1218 2/18/2006 10:47:00 PM
I love Tarte Flush! The name of the shade says it all: it gives a gorgeous and natural flush to my NW 20 cool-toned complexion. In fact, it is EXACTLY the same color as my face after a run or after being out in the cold. Apart from being a bit expensive, it only has one problem: the packaging. If you drop it and the cheap plastic top breaks, it dries up and is no good, so be careful! EDIT: I am taking off one lippie b/c it lacks staying power.

Blush -NARS - The Multiple in Maui
kristenmc1218 2/18/2006 10:44:00 PM
I love the texture and the color in the tube, but Maui was just too warm and came out a bit orangey on my NW 20 cool-toned complexion. I was hoping for a change, but Tarte Flush must remain my HG.

Lip Gloss -NARS - Lip Lacquer in Eros
kristenmc1218 2/16/2006 9:23:00 AM
I am an nw 20 ppp with lightly pigmented lips, and I love the color in the pot, but it did not do much for my lightly pigmented lips except make them thickly coated with chemical-smelling goop. Not appealing at all.

Lip Gloss -Aveda - Lip Glaze in Wineberry
kristenmc1218 1/26/2006 6:52:00 PM
Wineberry is a gorgeous shade, especially for those with cool undertones. It is not too sticky, smells minty, and is sheer and not too dark.
