Eye Shadow -MAC - Paint Pot in Painterly
Therealslayergrrl 5/1/2010 11:33:00 PM
I use this every day on top of UDPP to even out my lids. My eyeshadow does not budge at all. No creasing or fading. It will stay like that until I wash everything off. 12 to 18 hours. MAC PP's are the best.

This is a pretty good lipstick. It looks awesome on its own or with a gloss on top. It is a good go to lipstick. I always have it in my purse

Eye Shadow -MAC - Paint Pot in Coral Crepe
Therealslayergrrl 4/29/2010 8:20:00 PM
Get your butt to the MAC counter and buy this paint pot. Ok, not serious but it is an awesome PP. I wasn't to intrested in this collection at first. But I had an appointment to get my makeup done the day it came out. Of course the MA used this collection on me. Awesome color. Awesome. looks great on with a little gazette grey in the crease and tissueweight as a highlight. It's honestly backup worthy.

Lip Liners -Wet 'n' Wild - #666 liner
Therealslayergrrl 4/29/2010 8:15:00 PM
You can't beat this pencil. I've had one in my collection since I was a kid just starting out with makeup. I honestly bought this just for the number. I'm a Metal chick, what do ya want? lol Anywhoo this is pretty universal and looks different on everyone. It almost comes off as a raisin color on me. Not quite purple but dark enough to burgundy. It has a bit of shimmer. It's really pretty. For 99 cents it's a steal. I honestly don't use it as often as I used to but I always keep it in my bag for those days where I just need a little something extra on my lips.

Eye Shadow -Wet 'n' Wild - Color Icon #252B Nutty
Therealslayergrrl 4/29/2010 8:09:00 PM
Holy pigmentation batman! For something so cheap this delivers a punch of color! It's a gorgeous taupey brown that looks amazing on. Awesome for a daytime office look or you can make it darker for a night out. I was lucky enough to score the last one at Walgreens. I'm gonna go hunting this weekend to see if I can find backups of this. So worth having in your collection. Ladies, if you don't have this I highly recommend finding this.

Fragrances -Elizabeth Arden - Britney Spears Believe
Therealslayergrrl 4/29/2010 8:05:00 PM
When I first sniffed this a few years back I had to have it. It was like and OMG moment. I must have been having a bad day that day. I found it on sale somewhere. I wore it for the first time and it smelled ok. Then throughout the day I started smelling something rank. I thought maybe it was something in my office. We had the windows open so I thought maybe it was coming from outside? Nope. It was me. I smelled like onions and pomegranates. It was horrible! Did not suit me at all. The bottle is adorable. I was cleaning my stash and accidentally broke the bottle. One of the pointy parts shattered and spilled this everywhere. I cannot smell this without gagging now. If it works for you then awesome. Did not work for me at all. won't even look at it never mind repurchase. *Shudder*

Fragrances -Chanel - No 5 Eau Premiere
Therealslayergrrl 4/29/2010 7:17:00 PM
I really like this. I could never pull off the original No.5. It was just way too heavy for me. This is a much nicer version. Younger? It is still as sophisticated as the original. It makes me feel Womanly. Like I want to dress up in a gown and paint the town red. If that makes sense. It's a serious scent. But I would also wear it with jeans and a t-shirt. I've been gravitating towards classic scents lately and this one is on my list of full sizes. There is just something about scents that ladies have worn generations before me. I feel like I'm carrying on tradition.

Lipstick -Chanel - Rouge Coco in Mademoiselle 05
Therealslayergrrl 4/29/2010 6:34:00 PM
HG! This is my first and only Chanel lipstick so I can't really base it on any of the other lipsticks they have. I was intrigued by this line. The Vanessa Paradis ad in some magazine drew me in. I loved the color on her lips. So I trekked down to the Chanel counter to purchase it. Sold Out! I bought it online at the Chanel website and had it gift wrapped. Hey, It was a present to myself. The most expensive lipsticks I own have all been from MAC. I'm not really a lipstick girl. I usually only wear gloss. This feels amazing on. It's soft and creamy and feels extremely moisturizing. And the color. Wow. It brightened up my whole face. (NW25 for reference) I don't mind the smell. I can't stop looking at my lips. I love the packaging. It has some serious weight to it. Quality. I can't wait to try the other colors in the sample card they sent me alongside the lipstick. I am amazed that I love this so much! I am already planning a look to go with my lips for work tomorrow. Pretty great lasting power as well. It's been a few hours and it still looks like I just applied it. I am in love..

Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup

After the disaster which was Photoready I wasn't too keen on trying this foundation. I've been using MAC studio fix fluid for years and I just felt that I needed a change. CVS happened to have a really good sale on it plus I had coupons. I had brought my MAC foundation with me so I could match my color. Tried it today for the first time. Wow! This stuff ROCKS!! I have oily skin. Some days are worse than others. I did not have one oil breakthrough all day. Nothing! My Makeup looks like I just applied it. Amazing! I'll admit I was a bit of a drugstore foundation snob. Not anymore! **Update** I hate having to write this. I love this foundation so. But after a few weeks of wear I cannot wear it anymore. It has dried out my skin so bad. The skin on and around my nose. My forehead and chin are all flaking and peeling like something awful. I changed everything I could think of. I tried a different face wash and moisturizer. Nothing. Tried a different foundation and it stopped. So I know it is this doing it. :( I went from super oily skin to super dry in a matter of weeks. For those of you that this works for I am super jealous! *Update part deux* I think my skin was going through a rough patch on my last update... I reached for this a few weeks ago and it is again my go-to foundation.,. Maybe I got a bad batch last time?

I love this scent! Sadly it doesn't last on me. :( Not even 15 minutes. I have the lotion and the spray. I've tried everything to make this stick. I still use it and will use it till it is gone. Sad. I do love the smell of old school coppertone. Reminds me of going to the beach with my dad in the 80's.

Love! I always get compliments when I wear this. Awesome summer scent. Grape candy with a floral note. It's not over powering like some foodie scents. It's a happy fragrance. It makes me feel good when I wear it. Kind of brings me back to being a kid.

Lip Gloss -Hard Candy - Fortune Gloss, Luck
Therealslayergrrl 4/27/2010 7:50:00 PM
Love the packaging. I love the little 8 ball thing on top. That is really all I love about this gloss. It's a bit sticky. The doe foot applicator feels a little different than other ones I have used. More spongey? It's a clear green color that shows up clear on my lips. Gives my lips a nice sheen. Wicked minty but not in a good way. The packaging really sucked me in on this one. I'll use it but won't repurchase.

Polishes -Unlisted Brand - Nfu Oh #51
Therealslayergrrl 4/27/2010 7:43:00 PM
Holy cow!! Love at first swatch! I adore this polish! I'm a red polish girl. It's classic and it's something I always wear. Well, this little bottle has changed that! I saw this on some website. Maybe it was youtube? Anywhoo I digress. It looked amazing when I saw it. I find it and it came in the mail. Wow! The bottle is so cute. Again I get sidetracked. It looks amazing on my nails! Sparkly reddish purple blueish green? It's like a chameleon always changing with the light. HG status! Looks great with or without a base. A black polish underneath really makes it stand out. I can't wait to try other polishes from this line.

Lipstick -NYX - Lipstick- #529 Thalia
Therealslayergrrl 4/27/2010 7:35:00 PM
This is a great lipstick for my complexion. It gives my lips a nice rosy glow without being too pink. I usually pair this with the mega shine gloss in natural. Staying power isn't the greatest but I don't mind reapplying. In general NYX lippies are a good value and they have a wide selection of colors. I really like this color. I had to change this to 5 lippies. I wear this every day. it's my lips but better. I feel put together when I wear this.
