Lip Gloss -MAC - Lipglass Stain- Low Light Silver
JGardella 2/17/2003 2:04:00 PM
This is a silvery pink colored gloss, it's not very sheer and it can take on a frosty cast if you apply too much. I was a bit nervous to try it but it looks a lot nicer on than I thought it would if I apply a little bit.

Lotions/ Creams -St. Ives - Whipped Silk Body Moisturizer [DISCONTINUED]
JGardella 2/17/2003 2:01:00 PM
I so badly wanted to love this but I just don't. This did not moisturize enough at all. Only two hours after I had applied it my skin was rather dry. This might be better suited for someone who does not have dry skin.

Gels/Soaps -Suave - Naturals Body Wash in Tropical Coconut
JGardella 2/17/2003 1:54:00 PM
I bought this at Walmart for under $2. I'm a huge coconut fan so I really like this scent. Just a tiny bit creates a rich lather and it smells so good! It leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I wish they had a matching lotion for this!

Lip Gloss -NARS - Stella
JGardella 2/17/2003 1:52:00 PM
This is a coral reddish shade that looks a bit orange on my complexion. The texture is rather thin and it wore off my lips very quickly. I'm not impressed. For $20 this isn't worth it, IMO.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Pink Poodle Lipglass
JGardella 2/16/2003 1:04:00 PM
Wow! This is extra scary on me. I have dark brown hair, light green/brown eyes, MAC C3. This shade looked awful on me. It looks like a bright Barbie pink type color that clashed with my complexion. I would imagine that this might look really good on someone with light hair. This is not for me, though.

Lipstick -MAC - Frost Lipstick in O
JGardella 2/15/2003 4:37:00 PM
It's possible that I reviewed this a year or so ago but I recently turned in my MAC empties for a tube of this. I had intended to swap it but I decided to try and test it out. This shade looks different on everyone. I have dark brown hair, light skin (with yellow undertones), and brown/green eyes. On me this is a copper shade. Not really red at all. I'm not a huge lipstick fan but this shade is pretty. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 lipsticks is because it is rather drying.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Paradisco (Frost)
JGardella 2/15/2003 4:34:00 PM
I guess I'm in the minority on this one but this is one of my least favorite MAC shadows. It's an odd color, a peachy pinky shade that I simply cannot get to look nice on my light complexion. I ended swapping mine away.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Grape en Drape
JGardella 2/14/2003 6:28:00 PM
This looks REALLY dark and purple in the tube - but don't let that stop you!! It looks so much nicer on. It's a light grape shade with a ton of shine and a sext shimmer that doesn't feel gritty on my lips. I love it! It looks amazing on, I never would have tried it if it wasn't for all the raves.

Lip Gloss -Urban Decay - BURNOUT lipgunk
JGardella 2/13/2003 11:11:00 PM
I know I'm late to the party but I just discoverd Lipgunks. Burnout is a shimmery medium golden pink with a touch of rose to it. I like to top it off with my Jordana Clear Lipgloss for added shine. It looks very pretty on and I love the yummy flavor!

Gels/Soaps -Suave - Naturals Body Wash in Tropical Coconut
JGardella 2/13/2003 2:42:00 PM
I recently bought this from Walmart. It smells just like coconut. Mmmmmmmm! Just a little bit creates a rich lather and it makes my skin feel very soft and moisturized, even during this cold dry weather.

Polishes -OPI - Samoan Sand
JGardella 2/13/2003 2:40:00 PM
I just recently bought this, it came in a kit with a white color that you pair together when doing a french manicure. This is a nice sheer nude color. It lasts for a long time on my nails and drys to a nice shine. It doesn't chip off easily.

Eye Shadow -Stila - ALL TRIOS
JGardella 2/12/2003 10:21:00 PM
Hmmm....well it's kind of general to rate them all together but I'll add in my two cents. Some trios are so pretty and they work so well on me and others were a total miss. I own: Picnic In The Park, Picnic On The Beach, Cafe, Bronze, Sage, Winter Blues, Capri, Apres Ski, Apres Beach, Peach, Strawberry, and Banana. Summer Shades and Walk In The Woods didn't work for me so I ended up swapping them. I'm addicted to these trios because I don't have to figure out which shades go together because they are grouped with eachother. The staying power is the best that I have tried thus far, much better than MAC (not that I don't love MAC). Rave from me!

Lip Gloss -Chanel - Spark Glossimer
JGardella 2/12/2003 4:01:00 PM
Not only does it take forever for me to find a shade of red that works on me, but it seems like every red that I have tried lately has turned a bright pink on my lips. After Delux Beauty Norris turned pink on me (I was so upset) I was on the hunt for a glossy red shade. I'm 23 (almost 24) and I want to see if I can start wearing reds to look a bit older (I often get mistaken for a 17 yr old). I managed to swap for this and anxiously awaited for it to get here. It looks like a bright raspberry red in the tube but on my lips it is a nice glossy red. It's not too dark or too light, it has just enough pigment in it for me. The trick with wearing reds (at least for me) is to keep the rest of my make-up simple. It goes great with some eyeliner (BB Gel in Granite for me) and a few coats of black mascara. I find that made up eyes with red lips is just too much and it ends up looking too cheap. I'm pleased with the results and if I ever manage to use this up I will probably be buying it again. Rave from me!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Humid (Frost)
JGardella 2/11/2003 5:10:00 PM
This shade is simply stunning, there's just no other way to describe it. This is a shimmery deep kind of forrest green. It can be used as a liner or in the crease. It really helps to bring out the green in my eyes and makes them pop. I don't know what took me so long to discover this shade but I'm in love!
