BB Cream -MISSHA - M Perfect Cover BB Cream
missbrightside08 7/26/2012 1:11:00 AM
This matches my color pretty well and evens out my skin tone. I like that its hydrating, smooth, and not heavy. The coverage is pretty light to medium. I wish it had better coverage. You can't use it like a concealer because you'll still be able to see through it. It is not very buildable. Also when i put it on my nose to cover my pores, after a few hours these little ball thingys form over my pores and it looks gross!! I am under the impression that it might clog your pores.. however I can't read the ingredients or label because its in Korean. It doesn't break me out, though, so I'll keep using it for now.

Lip Treatments -Fresh - Sugar Rose Lip Treatment SPF 15
missbrightside08 7/16/2012 2:18:00 AM
Really moisturizing and gives a beautiful, healthy rosy tint. Love the smell, too. One bad thing is that when you use up most of it toward the end of the stick, it kind of slides off the twisty stick and is very hard to apply without all the product falling off and moving around. I agree with everyone else $22.50 is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ONE LIP BALM that is the size of your finger. If you're like me and use it several times a day, it only lasts about a month. They needa make this more affordable and more people will come back for more. I suggest hunting around online for it for cheaper prices.

Treatments -Joico - k-pak deep penetrating reconstructor
missbrightside08 3/13/2012 8:11:00 PM
Sorry to report that this doesn't actually work for me. I used it for three months with the intense hydrator and reconstructing conditioner and no noticable results--i still have damaged hair and split ends. I don't like the liquidly consistency of the product because it runs right out of the bottle when you open it, you have to be verry careful not to spill it, and its awkward to apply it to your hair and make it stay. The banana smell was overwhelming at first and gave me a headache the first time. The packaging is also inconvenient because it is a tube, and like i said the product is so runny that it spills out everywhere since the opening of the tube is on the bottom. I also dont' like how for the k-pak system you have to wait 5 minutes and then rinse it out, then apply the next product for another 5 minutes, then rinse and do it again. thats 3 times!! what are you supposed to do in between while you wait in the shower? Ultimately though, the product didn't help repair my damaged hair.

Shampoo -L'Oreal - EverStrong Hydrating shampoo
missbrightside08 3/13/2012 8:04:00 PM
I use this because it doesn't have SLS in it. However, the downside of that is that it doesn't lather very well. I have to use a TON of it and rub it in my hands for 5 seconds to get it to lather enough since i have a lot of hair. I bought the tube over a month ago and already I am almost out of it because i have to use so much product every time. The packaging is cheap--the tube wrinkles up and you have to squeeze very hard to get the product out once you get halfway done with the tube. However i thiiiink it works well as far as cleaning my hair. I'll probably tryout a different shampoo when it runs out though.

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Naked Palette
missbrightside08 1/29/2012 2:34:00 AM
LOVE this palette because of the variety of colors it offers, and the unlimited combinations and looks you can make with this 1 palette. I barely use any of my old eyeshadow anymore because this one has everything you could ever need (as far as neutrals). Its really good for everyday wear because i like a natural look, and the browns, golds, peach, and shimmery colors look amazing. There's a nice balance between how some of the eyeshadows are matte and some are shimmery. There IS some fall-out when i apply it, where a few specks and crumbles of eyeshadow will fall during application but its not that big of a problem. There's so much versatility and so many options with this palette and that's why i like it. Plus they all look great, its pretty hard to mess it up. Downside: super expensive but its worth it because you're getting SO many colors, plus a really good quality brush and the primer potion which is amazing.

Mascara -Urban Decay - Supercurl Curling Mascara
missbrightside08 1/29/2012 2:28:00 AM
Great mascara and easy to apply because of the wand. The packaging is beautiful--a dark silver tube with black flowery designs on it. At first i had a problem with large clumps of it sticking to the brush, but just scrape off the tip of the brush before you apply and there are no more clumps after that, and it applies smoothly.

Eye Makeup Remover -Simple - Conditioning Eye Make-Up Remover
missbrightside08 12/7/2011 11:51:00 AM
i LOVE this makeup remover. i can't believe other people said it stung their eyes because it doesn't sting my eyes at all. its also very gentle on the skin, unlike L'oreal's makeup remover which burns. this one is so natural and takes off your makeup very well. best thing is that it does NOT hurt if it gets in my eyes :) EDIT: i just read the bottle and it contains Methylparaben!! Can't be that good for your skin, then... especially on the delicate skin around the eyes. =/ why would they include that ingredient in there, if Simple claims to be all natural and fresh ingredients only?!

Masks -Unlisted Brand - Aspirin Mask
missbrightside08 11/8/2011 6:22:00 PM
This actually works amazingly well! I am so pleased with the results. Been using it for a week and just after the first 2 days my skin was so much smoother and softer, and i no longer have those little clear bumps on my forehead and a lot less clogged pores. Also my skin cleared up and i have no acne at the moment (for now--will update in like a month to see if it keeps working). My skin looks pretty healthy, better than a week ago. The aspirin is pretty rough feeling on your skin when you wash your face with it, but i think this exfoliates the skin pretty well. A++++ highly recommended

Pressed Powders -MAC - Blot Powder
missbrightside08 10/12/2011 1:37:00 PM
I've been using this for about 2 years. It works pretty well but if you apply it using the round cotton pad they give you, it can look cakey and powdery and you can actually see the powder on your face. But if you use a big fluffy foundation brush to apply the powder, it looks FLAWLESS and amazing!! so its very important that you use the right tools when using this powder. an even layer of this in the morning covers up redness and blemishes and helps keep my face less shiny all day long! edit: this is my 3rd one. the first two eventually cracked and crumbled as other people have mentioned. if you drop it too many times that's what happens. it got all over the inside of my purse :(

Cleansers -Laneige - Multi-Cleanser
missbrightside08 9/9/2011 12:16:00 PM
Multi Cleanser made my skin very sensitive and red and my face hurt for a few days after I used it, and it hurt when i put any other products on my face afterward that i normally use (like moisturizer). Too bad because everyone else said this product was great, so i thought it had to be! It was also kind of expensive-- $24.00 USD. It might work well on other skin types but i guess my skin was too sensitive for it.
