Scrubs -Dermalogica - Daily Microfoliant
bulbataras 3/14/2005 11:12:00 AM
Nice scrub although can be really drying if used everyday. I love that there no harsh scrubbers to tear the skin. Expensive but you only need a little each time so will last. Love Dermalogica and that their products are so natural, but not sure if would buy it again. I want something gentle enough for everyday exfoliation, which, but too drying for everyday...who knows

Eye Shadow -Stila - Golightly
bulbataras 3/14/2005 11:09:00 AM
Gorgeous shimmery green shade. Bit of a browny green, not bright at all. Could be a little dark for day time use unless used lightly. Gorgous shade for all complexions.

Eye Shadow -Stila - Viola Eyeshadow
bulbataras 3/14/2005 11:08:00 AM
Beautiful neutral plum shadow, not too dark or light. Easily can be worn day or night. Teture is good although seems to be looser than other Stila shadows and can fall onto your face upon application. Same great staying power...great cool toned shade.

Eye Shadow -Stila - Java Eyeshadow

HG shadow to be used as eyeliner. Small amount but will last forever if you use as an eyeliner. The staying power is amazing and lasts until I take my makeup off at night. Great neutral deep brown.

Pressed Powders -Stila - Sheer Color Face Powder spf15
bulbataras 3/14/2005 10:53:00 AM
This is an amazing powder. It is very sheer but also has great coverage...hard to explain. I use Shade 2 and it just gives my skin a bit of a boost and really keeps the oilies at bay. Definitely helps keep my makeup on throughout the day, even without foundation underneath. Plus,great SPF factor...great product!!

This is an amazing product. I have been using the since doing the Thermal reconditioning and it has made my hair look and feel like silk without weighing it done. Love the light smell and only need a nickel size amount for a lot of hair. HG hair product.

Styling Products -Aveda - Control Granules
bulbataras 9/7/2004 9:28:00 AM
This is a great product. I use it on second day hair that needs a little lift. I usually put in on my fingers and them apply to roots in a lifting motion. This take the oilies out and gives a little body. Not sure if I would use it on freshly washed hair, but it does seem to come clean and not leave a sticky residue, so that is definitely a possibility as well.

Concealers -Urban Decay - Jungle Cover Camouflage
bulbataras 9/7/2004 6:32:00 AM
This is my HG undereye concealer. This is very yellow concealer, which is the perfect shade for hide darkness under the eye. It is creamy, goes on easily and makes my eyes look so bright instantly. I find that all other concealers are either drying and emphasize the dry areas or wrinkles, flake, etc. or are so greasy they don't stay put. Well, this is perfect consistency and lasts all the day. Just set it with some loose powder. I never seem to use the green side for blemishes since I use a different concealer for those. That would be the only downside. Also reasonable price. I used it every day for about four months, and still a decent amount left.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Shale Eyeshadow

This is a beautiful neutral plum shade. It lasts all day and there is plenty of product even though the shadows look small. This, along with a plum liner, make sexy smoky eye that is not OTT for day. Looks great with brunettes or us converted blondes with brown eyes.

Loose Powders -Bobbi Brown - Face Powder
bulbataras 9/2/2004 9:40:00 AM
I love this powder. It is the best for setting foundation or wearing alone. It has great coverage and the yellow tones really look natural and even out the complexion (I used warm natural). This stays all day, doesn't change color and never looks like a mask as some have indicated. It is pricey, but you get a lot of powder (will last at least 6 months) and you only need a little a time..great investment.

Highlighters -MAC - Trixie Sheer Shimmer Powder
bulbataras 9/2/2004 9:11:00 AM
Great powder and blush. If used as a blush, creates a wonderful shimmery peachy pink cheek that warms the face but is not an obvious blushed cheek look. Whenever I wear this on my cheeks and just dab on my forehead and chin, people always think I look tanner even though it is basically a golden pink powder. This is a similar effect to NARS orgasm blush, but less peach pigment - Lovely!

Blush -NARS - Desire
bulbataras 9/2/2004 9:09:00 AM
Beautiful sheer pink. It does look bright, but is so sheer, you can really create a really light blush, or more intense color. This is very buildable, more than any other bright, cool pink I have used...and I have used a lot. Lasts all day and the color stays true - Love it!

Masks -The Body Shop - Honey & Oat Scrub Mask
bulbataras 9/2/2004 9:06:00 AM
This is a wonderful mask. As others have said, it does not really exfoliate much but I generally use a real scrub for real exfoliation, so it doesn't matter much. This leaves the skin so smooth, radiant and dewy, yet manages to calm any breakouts that I may have. Delicious, mild smell and large amount of product for the price. My new HG mask.

Mascara -Boots - No.7 Lash Extensions Waterproof
bulbataras 8/10/2004 9:35:00 AM
This is an amazing mascara, and I am ridiculoulsly picky in this department. I always need waterproof mascara since these are the only formulas that really hold curl, any regular formula makes my eyelases droop. I was actually about to try the original formula (which is supposed to be great) and they had just come out with the waterproof version - Yeah! It is great, holds curl and does not flake at all (unlike a lot of great waterproff mascaras). Also, like many waterproof formulas, you will need an eye makeup remover formulated for waterproof mascara. It can occasionally leave little marks near my eyebrows, but they are easily rubbed off and that should tell you how long this makes my eyelashes. It is a bit expensive but pretty average for the UK (about £9).
