Blush -Smashbox - O-Glow
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 8:22:00 PM
This blush is useless to me since I wear powder foundation, I don't like putting liquids over top. It is unique in the sense that you get your own unique shade of pink, however, I prefer powder or creme blushes as I am able to work with them a bit better.

Blush -Cargo - Suede blush in barbary coast
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 8:20:00 PM
Pretty light cool toned pink flush. Almost a little on the violet side...which is fine. Gives the skin a healthy sheen. Wish it were just a tad darker on my NC35 skin tone. Very pretty and girly though... and it's unique. Try if you can!

Bronzers -Cargo - Water Resistant Bronzer
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 8:18:00 PM
This is a so so bronzer, nothing too special. It's a little deeper in my opinion... I haven't tested it to see if it's actually water resistant probably is. This streaks up on my as it's pigmented but not very creamy. Does any one know if this is the same bronzer that was in Cargo's melt proof collection? Because that one I LOVED! I feel that this one is different... maybe it's just me. Don't care for the tin packaging either.

Blush -Bare Escentuals - Warmth All Over Face Color
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 8:15:00 PM
I actually don't mind this product. I usually like to wear it a little deeper as a blush and it's quite nice... sorta like a neutral brownish rose almost. I also like that its long wearing and gives my skin a nice healthy sheen without looking oily. It's very pigmented so a little does go a long way. I like that it's sort of a blush and bronzer in one for my skin.

Blush -Becca - Lip and Cheek Creme in Petal
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 8:12:00 PM
One of the Becca cream blushes that I wear most often! Very pigmented, I could see this lasting like a total year because you need one dab. I use one light dab on my skunk brush and the apply to my cheeks for an air brushed look. Very long wearing and didn't break out my combo oily skin. I like the texture too.

Blush -Becca - Tuberose Lip & Cheek Creme
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 8:10:00 PM
I love Becca's cream blush! All of them! They are soooo pigmented that you literally need one dab and your good! Very long wearing and not sticky at all. More smooth texture compared to Stila's convertible color. This is a nice pinky coral shade. Very nice with a tan!

Blush -Becca - Wisp soft touch blush
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 8:08:00 PM
Very pretty champagne flush. I quite like it for a high light powder because I don't feel like it's dark enough on my complexion to be an actual blush. Very pigmented and will last me a long time. I HATE the Becca packaging though. This does give you a very angelic look!

Blush -MAC - Mineralize Blush Duo - Hot Planet (Grand Duos coll.)
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 8:04:00 PM
I love mineralize blushes from MAC but I'm not loving this colour, it turns like a golden orangey red on my skin...very unflattering on me. Pigment is good.

Bronzers -Laura Mercier - Bronzing Duo
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 8:02:00 PM
So I have this in Pink Bronze and it's a split pan with one side that is quite bronze and one side that is a little more intense pink. I like the colours but am really annoyed with it being split because I do my bronzer and blush separately (I think we all do) and I can't for the life of me pick up enough bronzer because my brush is too big! If I use a smaller brush for my bronzer, it becomes streaky because it's so pigmented! I think this will just sit in the train case as I won't be reaching for it much often.

Bronzers -Laura Mercier - Golden Bronze
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 7:58:00 PM
I like the classic brown packaging. The bronzer itself is a little too light for my N35 complexion. It does give me a little colour but more of a golden glow rather than a bronze look. It's perfect for all over and soft colour but I prefer more. I can see this being better for fair to light skin tones. I quite like the texture of this.

Mascara -LORAC - LOTSA LASH
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 7:56:00 PM
Complete and utter garbage. I know we all have personal taste on mascara. This did nothing for me. It's super natural (which is fine if you like that look) but on my skimpy lashes I need some substance! They market this as being a more dramatic mascara I'm assuming because they're calling it LOTSA LASH, it's more like they make you look like you have 5 lashes. Won't buy again!

Lip Liners -MAC - Lipliner in Spice
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 7:51:00 PM
Creamy feeling pencil (compared to some that I have from MAC). Darker pinkish brown on my lips... goes well when I want to deepen some of my nude lipsticks. I use to go through this one like crazy back in the day, now I don't reach for it often because I'm feeling that it could be slightly lighter. Would recommend though.

Lip Liners -MAC - Subculture
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 7:50:00 PM
I like the color, a warm nude. And it's great for all shades on nudes and pinks however, my pencil is sooooo dry that I can barely get any pigment. I feel that it's a hit or miss for me with MAC lip liners. I have a few that are super creamy and pigmented and a few that literally feel like they've been dried out right as I got them out of the box. Disappointed but I know some people that love this shade... perhaps I just got a defective one.

Lipstick -MAC - Frost Lipstick in High Strung
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 7:47:00 PM
I really thought I was going to love this because FABBY is one of my HG's, however, it's a little darker than what I thought it was going to be. I tried it on at the store and thought for some reason that it was a light pink on me, but it's more of a medium plum...not a bad shade but not what I was expecting. It also goes on a little streaky on my lips. Just a little dissapointed because I usually LOVE frost lipsticks.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Honey I Washed the Kids soap
suzannaelektra 7/3/2010 7:42:00 PM
Mmmm smells very yummy and does the job. Not too much a fan of bar soaps but this one is fun and I like that you can get the amount you need. At one point, I went a little crazy and bought like 8 different ones to try them out and I have to say this was one of the ones that stood out. You should try it... I think the price is not too bad either.
