Eye Shadow -MAC - All That Glitters
lilblue10 3/20/2012 10:42:00 PM
This is a very pretty color, great pigmentation but it just doesn't suit my skintone. There's something about it that doesn't look good on me, I think it's too peach. I'm NC20 (almost NC15 now) with blue eyes if you're wondering.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Warming Trend--Cool Heat collection
lilblue10 3/20/2012 10:39:00 PM
I bought this on Allcosmeticswholesale.com which is know to sell genuine Mac so if you want it, last time I checked there was still 219 left :P This a taupey brown with a gold sheen. It is so pretty and unique. It looks really good with a dark brown in the crease and a white gold in the inner corner. Very wearable, and I get so many compliments on how my eyes pop when I wear this (I have blue eyes). I'm very pale with yellow undertones and this color compliments everything about me.I gave 4 because the pigmentation is good but not awesome which I would like since I'm paying 18$ (CA) for one eyeshadow,

Eye Shadow -MAC - Omega
lilblue10 3/20/2012 10:31:00 PM
I love this as a transition color in the crease to soften dark eyeshadows. The only big disappointment I have is that the color is soooo much darker than it looks in the pan, I ordered it online and was shocked when I swatched it. It's still a great color. Pigmentation is okay, its pretty soft and blend well. I would buy it again

Eyes -MAC - Photo Realism quad Makeup Art Cosmetics Collection
lilblue10 3/20/2012 10:28:00 PM
I actually only have the color ''Photo Realism'' in pan because I bought it on a blog sale ! So my review is for this one color only. It's a pale taupey gold, that looks really good all over the lid or in the inner corner when I do a darker look. It's not that pigmented so you kinda have to pack it on but the color is so unique that it is worth it in my opinion

Eye Shadow -MAC - Solar White from Cool Heat 2008
lilblue10 3/20/2012 10:25:00 PM
This is such an amazing eyeshadow ! It's very pigmented and soft and the color is amazing. It looks pink in the pan but it actually is a white gold with the slightest pink undertone. It is one of my favorite eyeshadow by Mac. Its similar to Photo Realism but with a pink undertone instead of a taupey one.

Liquid -Rimmel - Lasting Finish Enriched w/ Minerals
lilblue10 3/20/2012 5:20:00 PM
I bought this because of all the great reviews here. I HATE it. Pros: -Full coverage Cons: -So sticky,it never dries even when I put a powder on top. It just made it more cakey -Cakey. I tried my Beauty Blender,Mac 187,Sigma f80/f82,fingers.Nothing worked it still looked cakey as hell. -Heavy. You can really feel on your skin. -Color selection is awful. -Not long lasting at all. Start to get oily after 3 hours. -Emphasize dry patches. -Doesn't blend well. Revlon Colorstay is 1000X better.Get this one instead if you're looking for a full coverage and long lasting foundation

Misc Beauty Tools -beautyblender - the sponge
lilblue10 3/19/2012 7:11:00 PM
I actually wasn't expecting much when purchasing it, but I always have a hard time with my foundation because I have a lot of acne scars and big pores. My skin is just really hard to work with overall, I can't never get the perfect,flawless application I so want. I thought my Sigma F80 was working pretty well but got a little bored so I thought why not try this. I bought the 2 pack because its way cheaper that way and figured that if I didnt like it I could always swap the unused one. Turns out I love it, seriously I know its just a sponge but there is something MAGIC about it. My Revlon Colorstay look flawless when I apply it with the BB. I think it works better with thicker liquid foundation because I've tried it with my Mac Studio Sculpt ( which is a gel ) and its awful lol. But I mostly wear full coverage foundations which are generally thicker so its not a problem to me. I'm so glad I tried it and won't ever be without it again

Eyeliner -L'Oreal - Voluminous Marker eyeliner
lilblue10 3/17/2012 12:51:00 PM
This eyeliner is the worst I've ever seen. Even my 1$ ELF one is far better. First off this isn't black, it's grey. Not even a dark grey, a very sheer one.The staying power is ridiculous, i did a swatch on my hand, let it dry for 20 minutes then rubbed it and everything was gone. But I think the worst part is the tip, I'm not skilled when it comes to eyeliner but I can always manage to get a pretty okay line but this AWFUL,the tip is so big and large there's no way I'll ever be able to get it right.I actually didn't buy this it came as a gift with a mascara I bought ( which I didn't like either : Fasle Fiber Lashe ) so I don't feel too bad about throwing it out, but I saw this retails for like $10 CA, its just ridiculous. Save your money there are tons that are way better and more affordable than this one

Eye Shadow -MAC - Eye Shadow
lilblue10 3/15/2012 12:08:00 AM
These are seriously overhypped. I have 14 of them and none of them has blown my mind. The pigmentation is not great, I mean I'm paying 16$ ( CA ) for just one eyeshadow I think I can expect better than having to pack on the color for it to show up on my lid. I mean they're not bad, they're totally usable I just don't think they're worth it, Urban Decay makes MUCH better eyeshadows in my opinion. Maybe I didn't get the right ones cause everyone seem to love them I have : -Satin Taupe -Woodwinked -Amber Lights -All that glitters -Warming Trend -Patina ( I THINK ITS THE WORST ) -Trax -Star Violet -Stars and rockets -Juxt ( oh actually that might be the worst ) -Omega -Photo Realism -Solar White -Nehru I can honestly say that the only ones with decent color pay off are Woodwinked,amberlights and satin taupe.The only reason I will keep buying them is because of the huge range of colors but I will make sure to make my research before and go swatch them myself.

Eye Shadow -Wet 'n' Wild - ColorIcon Palette in #249 Vanity [DISCONTINUED]
lilblue10 3/10/2012 4:32:00 PM
I went through 2 of them already and when I went to buy another at my drugstore I was told it was discontinued, I panicked and went to every drugstore near me and couldn't find a single one !! I had to buy it on Ebay for freakin' 14$ !!! Yes that how much I like this palette, I'm just in love with the 2 lighter matte shades, I use them everyday. So if it's still available where you live, don't hesitate and just buy it , you won't regret it !

lilblue10 3/6/2012 12:58:00 AM
This is one of my favorite peach blush it's so beautiful. It's not overly shimmery which I really like, it just gives a nice glow, very summery. I'm NC20 for reference. I would buy this blush again

Blush -MAC - Sheertone Blush in Gingerly
lilblue10 3/6/2012 12:56:00 AM
At first I was kind of scared when I received it, it looks so brown in the pan, but it is such a pretty color. It warms up my complexion and acts as a bronzer and a blush as the same time. It's pigmented and blends very well. I'm NC20 and this is just beautiful on my pale skin

lilblue10 3/6/2012 12:53:00 AM
I loooove this palette, its just perfect ! A mix of neutral and colorful eyeshadows that are super pigmented. It's a great deal and the packaging is just so pretty, not very practical but its an anniversary palette. I'm so glad I bought it !

Eye Shadow -NYX - Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencil - Milk
lilblue10 3/5/2012 11:02:00 PM
Its a must-have when you like bright eye makeup ! It makes colorful eyeshadows so much more vibrant. Some people complain about how they're creasing, well if you use a good primer underneath and you dont apply too much, you shouldn't experience any creasing at all !
