Fragrances -Hanae Mori - Hanae Mori Butterfly EDP
clarissa90 4/5/2012 10:42:00 PM
Based on the reviews, I really thought that I would like this perfume. So I headed down to Sephora and spray it on and its a very sickly chemical scent. I couldn't stand the smell so I as soon as I got home, I took a shower. I will stay far far away.

Eye Shadow -NYX - Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencil - Milk
clarissa90 4/2/2012 11:59:00 PM
I must have oily eyelids since this did not work for me at all. It creased and faded away on me, whether I used this as a base or by itself. If you want an alternative, try MAC Pure White Chromaline.

Blush -Tarte - Cheek Stain in Flush
clarissa90 4/2/2012 11:47:00 PM
This was my first cheek stain and will probably be my last. The texture makes it really hard to work with, not impossible though. Once I finally got the product on, it turned red on me. So it looked like I had been just sitting in a hot car, not the "flush" I was hoping for.

Toners -Olay - Refreshing Toner
clarissa90 4/2/2012 11:44:00 PM
This is a great toner! It has helped my acne clear up and I use it in conjunction with the Cetaphil moistrizer. Not to mention its cheap too at Target. This is defnitley worth a try. I will repurchase.

Eye Shadow -Giorgio Armani - Eyes to Kill 15
clarissa90 4/2/2012 11:39:00 PM
This shade is so stunning!! Its a darkly gold-bronze that I have been searching for and just found with Armani. The $32 price tag is hard to swallow, but you get 4 grams of products so it makes up for it,. I'm not a big fan of the formula, for the price I shouldn't have to use a primer. But I will keep repurchasing since I haven't been able to find a dupe in any other brands.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Naked Space lipglass - Neo Sci-Fi
clarissa90 4/2/2012 11:27:00 PM
This is a great lipglass. The shade should flatter many skintones and can work as a great nude for some. I only wear this when I am tan since I wear nudes only. I have also seen this pop up at CCOs, so check there first. If repromoted, I will repurchase.

Makeup Brushes -NARS - 27 - Yachiyo
clarissa90 4/2/2012 1:31:00 PM
I waited for this brush to go on sale since I couldn't justify a $50 price tag. This brush does do the job, but it doesn't work any better than a powder brush for applying a pigmented blush. I ended up losing this brush and I have to say to say that I don't miss this brush. When using pigmented blushes like Illamasqua, MUFE, or Tarte, I just use the Trish McEvoy 2B Sheer Blush Brush or the 56 Sephora Brush. I took off one lippie since the wiring does come off after a period of time. Another lippie since the shape of the britsles changes, unlike other brushes I own.

Lips -Yves Saint Laurent - Rouge Pur Couture #19 Beige Aquarelle
clarissa90 4/2/2012 1:16:00 PM
This was my first YSL lip product and I was very eager to try it out. The texture is great and long lasting. It really is a hybrid of a stain and gloss. 19 is a mid tone pink on my lips and not a shade that I wear. My complaint to YSL is the lack of colors. I usually wear colors in the same family of MAC Myth, NARS Tashkent, and Kat Von D Agatha

Lip Gloss -Milani - Crystal Gloss for Lips in Whisper
clarissa90 3/19/2012 5:12:00 PM
This is good gloss for a drugstore brand. Its a little bit thick so it has more lasting power than the average drugstore gloss. It also smells really good, so that's a plus. My main gripe is that it is totally clear on my lips, no pigment at all. I will not repurchase.

Fragrances -Elizabeth Arden - Midnight Fantasy Britney Spears
clarissa90 3/19/2012 4:50:00 PM
This perfume used to be HG, but my body chemistry has changed and it just smells to chemically. So I have moved on to Trish McEvoy #9 and Philosophy Falling in Love. If you like the berry and vanilla smell and this didn't work out for you, give those a try. I will no longer repurchase.

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Hask Henna n' Placenta Conditioning Treatment
clarissa90 3/19/2012 4:37:00 PM
The Olive Oil and Placenta really helped my hair out, so I decided to give this a try. It did nothing for my hair, even after multiple uses. I will stick to the olive oil and placenta from now on.

This smells like strawberries with a hint of vanilla. That's it. I can probably find something similar at Bath & Body Works. I will not repurchase

Fragrances -Calvin Klein - Euphoria

I got this as a sample from Ulta. Thanks Ulta!! I liked this scent intiallly, but after the drydown it turned into an unbearable floral. Alas, florals are just not for me. On to the next perfume.

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre Lipstick
clarissa90 3/1/2012 11:21:00 PM
I'm shocked that the lustre finish has such high ratings. This has no staying power at all. It doesn't even last through my 1 hour classes. They also don't stay put on lips, they slip and slide. Imagine talking to someone with lipstick doing that. It's a shame though since MAC releases pretty colors that are lustres. I will just stick with satin finishes.

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Boyfriend - Kate Walsh - Billionaire Boyfriend
clarissa90 3/1/2012 11:15:00 PM
I got this as a sample from Sephora. On me it smells very masculine. Maybe that's why it has Boyfriend in the name. I will not purchase.
