Lip Gloss -Kanebo - Mode Gloss
Kayraven 2/2/2009 3:02:00 PM
I was looking for a perfect rich deep wine coloured gloss. I've finally found the perfect red in berry mode gloss. Bought it as soon as I tried it out. The most soothing, moisturising, smooth, soft lip gloss I've tried. I love that it has no smell or taste, comes in a tube with a great applicator brush, which makes it really easy to put on even without the lip pencil. I also enjoy the shimmer very much. The gloss is highly pigmented, which is a great advantage. I've got lots of compliments about how this colour suits me meaning it's a definite keeper. Though I do not particularly like the tube design.. somehow reminds me of the cheap fake Asian glosses. But great product anyhow.

Kayraven 1/26/2009 3:12:00 PM
Very nice formula, not too sticky. Has a wet lips look. This is a very pretty sheer pink coloured gloss with sparkles, has an attractive sweet smell. Looks very nice on the lips, a definite keeper.

Blush -Bobbi Brown - Shimmer Blush in Pink Sugar
Kayraven 1/12/2009 4:26:00 PM
I have pink skin undertone so I was looking for a refreshing pink blush. At first I was sceptical about getting this one due to all the shimmer and glitter, but after applying it, I could no longer resist. I LOVE the colour, which compliments my skintone well, the shimmer is very special, it also feels very silky and smooth. Very little is needed for application, it lasts a very long time, which makes it a good value for money. The pack is standard, but convenient. It's a definite keeper.

Lip Gloss -Bobbi Brown - Lip Gloss
Kayraven 1/12/2009 4:13:00 PM
I really got the gloss just because I like the colour. The rest is pretty bad. The gloss itself has a thick texture, which i personally do not like, it's kind of goopy and you could really feel it on the lips. And it tastes yucky. But the worst thing is the package: the disign is ok, it is too small though (which makes it overpriced), but the brush! Omg, the brush is a nightmare. It keeps on getting all fluffy and unrully so it's hard to apply. When the gloss ends in the tube, it's hard to manage to get the leftovers out. If only BB had the gloss in compact! I will not repurchase just because of the package.

Lip Gloss -Bobbi Brown - Creamy Color Gloss - Nectarine

Lips -Giorgio Armani - Lip Wax
Kayraven 1/12/2009 3:54:00 PM
I was really willing to like this, but it has no chance. I was eager to try it cause of all the fuzz and it seemed like something innovative. It turned out to be a real WAX! Dries out the lips, really heavy on them, looks like you have chalk instead. Though it is lasting. I do not particularly like the colors either.. they must really work for you and you must really like it to be keen on this. Or it might work for someone who's looking for a matte lasting lip colour. I do like the minimalistic black design, but it's just ordinary and not special at all. Not for me.

Lip Liners -Bobbi Brown - Lip Liner Pale Pink
Kayraven 1/12/2009 3:42:00 PM
I was looking for a lip liner, which would be neutral, good for several lipstick shades and help creating contour and shape for pale lip makeup. It is actually really hard to find an exact match, but I was really lucky to run into this one. It's really a pale pink shade, which can be easily blended with pale skin tone and would perfectly fit a pink skin undertone. It glides on smoothly, has a soft creamy texture, but not overly soft, so it's not running and breaking. It's very easy to master, even for unexperienced girls and holds the colour well. It also doesn't tighten lips. Feels comfortable. Though I do not specifically like the staying power, prefering it to be better. And lack of the brush in the package also is a big disadvantage. I would probably repurchase, if I don't find anything better.

Lipstick -Yves Saint Laurent - Rouge Volupte Lipstick in #003 Ultimate Beige
Kayraven 1/12/2009 3:24:00 PM
Got it because of all the positive reviews on MUA. Really didn't buy into the fancy package or the Kate ads. I fell in love as soon as I applied it. It's really the best lipstick I've tried in a long time. All that's said about its softness, balmy texture, nourishing properties, creamy consistency is true. I actually felt the miracle ingredients right after I bought it. I kept on applying it and after 3 or 4 times my unsoft and winter dried out lips became rosy soft and nourished. This does feel like an extremely high pigmented lip balm. The staying power is superior, it does make it worth the money. Stayes on much longer than other soft lipsticks. I really love the fruity scent of the product, makes me feel beautiful. The package is posh and fancy, though really heavy for a simple lipstick, I would really prefer something lighter. It is an expensive product, but I believe that it is worth the money. The colour: it's a dark deep beige, silky, shiny, but with no glitter. It feels classic and mature. As lots of other reviewers here, I've had the same idea of this color being very Angelina Jolie or posh-lip-girl style. Using a lip crayon, it's extremely easy to make lips fuller with this shade. I love it as a day lipstick, but also use it with a gold smoky eye makeup in the evening to look posh and flashy. Though I would really prefer the shade to be a bit lighter (like the caramel MAC by Emanuel Ungaro, though not as orangy). Yes, it is ugly to realise that most of the price comes from the really posh package design and production, enormous advertising campaign and a large percentage of overrating, but such is life. I still love it and would probably buy other colours. Might also repurchase this one.

It's really the best lipstick I've tried in a long time. All that's said about its softness, balmy texture, nourishing properties, creamy consistency is true.

Eyeliner -MAC - Powerpoint eye pencil in Engraved
Kayraven 1/12/2009 2:50:00 PM
I've got this eye pencil since I really loved MAC's black pearglide and this is supposed to be smudgeproof and lasting. The colour is wonderfull along with the softness. It's really easy to master, has no tacky smell, stayes on very long and does not transfer to the top eye lid. The only disadvantage is that if you have an oily complection, there is a chance this pencil would smudge. That means no keeper for me. So before bying this, try to apply it, then walk around in the daytime or to a party and see if it would last on your skin. I really like the classic stylish pack though, as usual. Typically MAC.

Masks -L'Occitane - Soothing Exfoliating Face Mask
Kayraven 1/8/2009 10:58:00 AM
At first I thought of this as a scrub, but it turned out to be an exfoliating face mask. It is really soothing and soft, but I didn't notice it to be very exfoliating and lifting, nor does it remove much impurities or breakouts. It does have a very good consistency though, a pleasant smell, but I do not particularly like it myself. The packaging and the design is wonderful, I really ennjoy using it and having it on the bathroom shelf. Not sure if I'd repurchase it, but not a bad product.

Cleansers -L'Occitane - Extra-Gentle Cleansing Water
Kayraven 1/8/2009 10:46:00 AM
Got this as a present and wasn't enthusiastic about it at first, but today decided to give it a try once again and simply loved it! The best feature is that it's completely oil-free and has a gorgeous orange blossom smell! Has a nice consistency and feels great on the face. What bought me with this cleanser is the fact that it was able to remove all(!) of my eye makeup quite fast and really gently (which already makes the remover good, given my makeup). I also love this because it can be used for eyes, lips and face altogether, which is not a usual case. The design is not the best feature, though. Could've been better. A disadvantage is that my eyes began to water soon after using this cleanser, but I guess that this is becauseI overapplied or didn't wash away. A keeper!

Powder -Givenchy - Matissime Absolute Matte Finish Powder Foundation SPF 20
Kayraven 1/8/2009 10:36:00 AM
I received this from my mom, but she didn't really guess with the shade so now I use it as a bronzer, which works well too. It's a great product that has a wonderful soft texture, really mattes the skin and hides pores, which is a HG for oily skin. It also has a very pleasant smell and there are some nearly invisible sparkles, which makes the skin glow. After applying the product, skin becomes softer. I also love the package, Givenchy has beautiful design. The only disadvantage is the price and the size, which is far too small for the price. A definite keeper.

Lipstick -Avon - Color Trend Lipstick - All Shades
Kayraven 1/8/2009 9:33:00 AM
I have received this as a gift and wasn't enthusiastic about it at all. But as I started using it, I did get to like this product. I have it in Dazzling Pout, which is a sheer sparkly plum going into pinks. The shade is great, but it is just a simple sheer lipstick with no extras to it. Nice color, pleasant texture, sweet candy smell, sparkles and a girly tube design. Nothing special in the overall. Wouldn't repurchase.
