Lip Gloss -MAC - Kissable Lipcolour in So Vain
emromano 2/25/2011 5:13:00 PM
Last year I was looking for a coral color and this would have fit the bill nicely. Unfortunatly when I purchased this, I was looking for something more natural and as mentioned before this has obvious orange undertones which look somewhat silly in the winter. I am going to save it for the summer. the long lasting lipgloss idea for me sounded better in theory than it actually came to be in reality. If I want a lipstick, I will just get a lipstick and same for a gloss this trying to be both kinda fell short on both sides. Not as much control in application as a lipstick, and not as shiny as a gloss

Lipstick -MAC - Matte - Diva

Gorgeous deep red. Similar to dried blood actually...I may even call it a blackened red. I am fair, so this is a striking color contrast on me which is great for nighttime, and I have actually worn this during the day as well to dress up an outfit. It is not for the meek, and I have to be in the right mood to put it on. Beware however, this can smear and look a mess, If you have lines on your lips, consider a reverse liner. I was inspired actually by Michelle Pfieffer's(sp?) in "I Am Sam" to buy this lipstick because the color looked so good on her and we have similar coloring. I went to MAC and described the color, and this was what I was given, Love it

Eye Shadow -MAC - Chilled on Ice (Cham-pale Collection)
emromano 1/26/2011 2:00:00 PM
I was looking for something to replace my Bobbi Brown shimmer brick which fell apart! This is easy to toss into your bag and apply with a finger to the lid which I like but it is not opaque enough to really wow me. Also it is far more glitter than shimmer which was dissapointing. I do like it but wouldn't rush to buy it again, which wouldn't happen anyway since it is LE.

Lip Gloss -NARS - Angelika

Awesome Barbie pink gloss! I love that with one coat it is totally everyday wearable and with two, then it is almost as opaque as a lipstick and is a perfect blue toned bright pink! I love NARS gloss because it is soo shiny and lasts a long time. It also is not too sticky. This will look especially great in the Summer too

Lipstick -MAC - Up The Amp

very purple for me, and it is a color I have to be in the mood to wear. It is possibly too much for daytime I am fair, and I can see this color looking better on someone with darker skin. I was craving a purpleish lipstick, so I traded in my 6 empty containers and got this one and am happy to have it in my lipstick wardrobe, although it is not my favorite or most flattering

Polishes -OPI - Russian Navy
emromano 1/26/2011 1:45:00 PM
Great color if you want a navy blue. It is gorgeous in the bottle (sparkles and duchrome) but falls flat on the nail :/ I do like it but want a polish that looks on the nail like this one does in the bottle

Great color, but found it needs 3 coats to be completely opaque. Still, it really is a great color for every season which is rare

Lip Gloss -LORAC - Multiplex 3D Lip Gloss
emromano 12/29/2010 1:27:00 PM
This stuff is cute...It is too sparkly to wear during the day (i have 3D) It would be nice over lipstick or on its own as a nude lip at night. I got it as part of a set, but wouldn't repurchase

Eye Primer -LORAC - Behind the Scenes Eye Primer

Got mine as a sample from sephora. It was great! It keeps eyeshadow in place all day! I love the packaging, UDPP leaves much to be desired as you cant use the entire contents of it without sawing it in half. This stuff is sanitary and easily sqeezable. Big thumbs up!

Lip Gloss -Tarte - Rhett and Scarlett Double Ended Duo
emromano 12/29/2010 1:18:00 PM
I bought this for the holidays as the red/gold glitter combo is en vouge at the moment. Alone the red (rhett) wasn't amazing. I ended up deepening the color of lipstick with it vs using it on its own. The gold sparkle is great too but not extrordinary. Overall, this is good for adding dimension over a lipstick, but alone the color payoff is just not there

Highlighters -NARS - Orgasm Illuminator
emromano 12/29/2010 1:15:00 PM
meh.... I got it as a sample in a sephora kit. It is okay as a highlighter for decolletage but not as makeup this is because it looks streaky over and under blush I was so pumped and ready to like it. It totally fell short

This is great over lipstick! It is great all alone It is just great! It is mildly sticky and needs to be reapplied more often than I would like, but It is something I still absolutely LOVE

Eyeliner -L'Oreal - waterproof liquid eyeliner
emromano 12/29/2010 1:10:00 PM
Good stuff. Doesn't come off, which was an issue with non- waterproof formulas I have tried. Lasts through a work-out. It takes a bit of effort to take off which is to be expected with a waterproof formula
