Cleansers -MAC - Makeup Remover Wipes
Aimeerose 3/17/2013 9:50:00 PM
I'm used to drugstore makeup remover wipes but I loved I'm actually one of the people who really like the smell that I had to buy it. I can see why people would not like the smell. It's pretty strong and can be overwhelming but I actually don't smell it anymore. I purchased the large size and for 30$ US, I thought it was really expensive. The wipes take off all my makeup with one wipe, I use two if I wore heavy makeup. It does a good job and doesn't irritate my skin like some wipes. I hate the greasy feeling the wipes leave on my face but like others have side it is for removing makeup not cleansing the skin. I make sure I wash my face well after using the wipes (acne prone skin). I have had a minor break out but I do not think it was due to the wipes. Overall I would repurchase, the true test will be if the wipes stay moist till the very end. They are a bit on the dry side, I store the package upside down per the suggestion of fellow reviewers.

Good product. Sheer color, absorbs oil well. Good for touching up my makeup thru out the day. I reached pan pretty quickly tho and I don't use it every day.

Blush -MAC - Sweet as Cocoa
Aimeerose 3/17/2013 9:01:00 PM
I hate the blush packaging, it's so boring!!! Lol. I digress, sweet as cocoa is a beautiful color for darker toned ladies. I'm not a huge fan of the shimmer blushes so I returned this blush and chose coppertone.

Liquid -MAC - Matchmaster SPF 15 Foundation
Aimeerose 3/17/2013 8:54:00 PM
I have mixed feelings about this foundation. It was easy to apply and blend. The color match was ok, I bought the 7.5 because the MUA insisted darker was better. I knew that was a mistake because after about 2 months the product oxidized about 1 shade deeper in the bottle!!! Is that even possible???? Anyway. I can't wear it alone anymore. It's way too dark for me what a waste! The bottle is still pretty full. I'm on the fence about purchasing the 7.0 shade. I'll prob get a sample first.

Lipstick -MAC - So Chaud
Aimeerose 3/17/2013 8:47:00 PM
One of my favs! I originally went to by Morange but after the that color didn't pair too well with my skin tone the MUA suggested this color and it was love at first swatch! It's the perfect orange for me (NC45), its bright but not shocking and I prefer the matte finish.

Lipstick -MAC - Cremesheen Lipstick - Ravishing
Aimeerose 3/17/2013 8:41:00 PM
I loved this on the MUA in the store but didn't like it as much when I got home. It's an intense neon coral color and the creemsheen formula causes the product to settle into the lips in a unflattering way. I won't repurchase.

Decent pinkie nude lipstick. It pulls a lot of pink on me. I pair it with mac cushy lip liner. I doubt I will repurchase since it will take a while to finish the tube.

Lip Treatments -Fresh - Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15
Aimeerose 9/16/2012 10:07:00 AM
I really wanted to like this. At first swipe it felt amazing on my lips, smooth and moisturized but as I continued to use it I noticed my lips became more chapped and started peeling. I admit that I occasionally deal with chapped, peeling lips but that isn't normally until the middle of winter. I had to stop using this. It's as if my lips became dependent on the lip balm and would become very dry when not used. Besides this problem, the product is very expensive and melts too easily as others have mentioned. Those two reasons alone are enough to make me not want to purchase this lip balm. Luckily, I received it free from sephora. Overall I'm staying away from this product.

Bronzers -LORAC - Glow Bronzer
Aimeerose 8/26/2012 12:04:00 PM
Out of all the products i have in my makeup collection, this is not only my favorite bronzer, its also my fav blush and eyeshadow. I seriously use this as an eyeshadow almost every single day and everday i get compliments. Its perfect for an effortlessly chic look. I apply a little on my face and lids for a natural enhancement of my features. Since I use this pretty much every single day, I must say that for the price you get a lot of product. I had it for a couple of years and there is still a good amount left in the pan. I would recommend this product to any woman of color although I afraid this bronzer as been discontinued becasue I cannot seem to find it anywhere. only the lighter version "Warm Glow" seems to be widely available.

Shampoo -Unlisted Brand - Miss Jessie's Crème de la Curl Cleansing Crème
Aimeerose 8/25/2012 10:02:00 AM
I like this shampoo a lot. There are a lot of soap-free shampoos on the market but I find myself buying this one over and over. Although I didn't realize this shampoo has a lot of protein in it, I'm glad it does because personally my hair seems thrive on protein. After I wash my hair it feels silky and strong. I have minimum breakage with this shampoo but i don't use the corresponding conditioner, I might try that soon. The scent is also great too. The only thing I do not like is the price and the amount of product you get. I think miss jessies products are generally over priced.
