Skincare - Face -Unlisted Brand - Dickinson's Witch Hazel
ChanelLove07 7/4/2012 1:12:00 AM
I don't use this all over my face as a toner because I already have dry skin, I only use it on pimples to dry it out and it does a really good job at that. I get the monthly few breakouts and it helps it. So it's really good, it's very affordable and you get a lot :)

Powder -BeneFit Cosmetics - Hello Flawless!
ChanelLove07 7/3/2012 4:25:00 AM
I'm very fair skin with yellow undertones and petal matches me well, but it's a little dark but i can make it work. It's amazing, it gives a flawless look without looking cakey. It feels smooth on the skin and doesn't rub off. I use it alone, on top of moisturizer and foundation and they all work perfectly. It didn't irritate my skin at all and I have slightly sensitive and dry skin with is prone to a few break outs ever now and then. However, I still do gt shiny on my forehead and my nose but it's more of a dewy than a shine. Overall, I love it and I use the elf powder brush to apply it.

Liquid -BeneFit Cosmetics - "Hello Flawless!" Oxygen Wow
ChanelLove07 5/25/2012 1:35:00 AM
Skin information: I have combination skin. Dry cheeks and shiny t-zone also sensitive skin. After applying the foundation i noticed that it had a more liquid consistency than what im use to. Applying to the skin with my fingers, i noticed that it was very natural. The application is light to medium depedning on how many layers you want to put on. It does not look cakey at ALL. The more layers i put on, the better coverage it is and it doesnt look cakey. Im so surprised with this. It looks exactly like my skin except more more even. Im in the colour ivory (the shades have a yellow undertones to it - which is fine with me since i am asain ahah) I was tossing between ivory or petal, but the petal shade was indeed too orangy and looks like i had a very bad tan. So i got ivory and its a good match, it blends really well onto the skin since its very runny and liquid. If this helps, i use to use Revlons colorstay and im in the color buff. It is very moisturising and i still did notice that my forehead and nose got shiny, but not greasy. Just set it with a powder and it should be ok. So far, im very happy with it.

Blush -MAC - Sheertone Blush in Sincere
ChanelLove07 3/11/2012 9:14:00 AM
Great color. I use it as a contour shade. I have very fair skin with a yellow undertone and this is the perfet contour color for me. I was initially going to purchase harmony but it was so dark when swathed on my skin! It looked like I rubbed dirt on my skin :( So I got sincere instead and I am so happy with this buy. It's a sheer tone blush, pigmentation is great, I use a tapered stippling brush and the application is amazing. Just the right amount of color. Will definitely buy again

Polishes -Revlon - Nail Enamel
ChanelLove07 3/8/2012 6:25:00 AM
Hands down one of the best nail polishes! Why? - Amazing pigmentation (one coat is lovely, but 2 coats is best for me) - Dries so quickly - Does not dry out in bottle - Gorgeous colors - Dirt Cheap! I honestly prefer these than opi. I own 9 colors from revlon. Craving coral, twinkled pink, wine about everything, mad about mango (scented), pink chiffon, lilac pastelle, electric pink, passion punch shimmer and get ready. My all time fav is craving coral! A bright and vibrant coral. Love it

Masks -Unlisted Brand - Oatmeal
ChanelLove07 2/27/2012 3:35:00 PM
I started using this for about 9 months now and I'm in love with it. I have a oily t zone and normal/dry skin everywhere else. I also had eczema and my skin gets rough easily if I don't use the right products and moisturizers. How I use this is after I cleans my face with the aveeno positively radiant cleanser, I get about a quarter of a palm full and hold it tight in my hands, I run warm water through it (still keeping my hand like a fist form so the oats don't run through) then I squeeze out the milky liquid and spread that over my skin first, it's amazing, then I gently scrub the slightly warm oats all over my face (I use it warm because it helps to clean the pores and it makes the oats softer). Then I rinse it off with blasting cold water to close my pores. Face feels soft, and radiant. I do the same thing but leave it on like a mask every 2nd day at night for about 15 minutes. My mum has complemented on my skin that it looks radiant. I believe it also helped cleared my skin. I had bad breakouts on my forehead during one time and just as it was clearing up I was using this and it really helped. Love it. I also have quite sensitive skin and it didn't irritate it. Just dont scrub too hard

Eye Primer -E.L.F. - Eyelid Primer
ChanelLove07 2/27/2012 7:23:00 AM
Holy moly! This is such a great product! Had this for almost year and there's still some left! Makes my eyeliner, eyeshadow last all day. I don't use eyeliner to line under my lower lashes but I use a dark brown shadow and a small rounded brush and smudge it on instead because it gives it a more natural and subtle look. With this primer on my lower lash line, the shadow lasted for over 10 hours and didn't budge. I remember I was in a rush and forgot to use it and my shadow didn't last as long. So must have! Have a back up ready to be used once my current one finishes!

Polishes -OPI - Black Shatter
ChanelLove07 2/27/2012 7:18:00 AM
Love this! Adds such a nice look to plain nails! Love using the colors green, pink, grey, orange and peach as base colors! But make sure your base coat is almost completely dry. The wetter the base coat the larger the cracks. When your base coat is completely dry the cracks are smaller which look better in my opinion. Seal with top coat and ta-da! Drys super quick too!

Concealers -NYX - Full Coverage Concealer Jar
ChanelLove07 2/27/2012 7:12:00 AM
This concealer is not bad. It does cover blemishes and such but in my opinion it is a little drying and a little hard to blend. I use the light shade to conceal blemishes. But overall it's does a good job, smells great and dirt cheap. I got mine on cherryculture.com for $4.50

Eye Shadow -MAC - Copperplate
ChanelLove07 2/24/2012 11:08:00 PM
What can I say it's a muted cool tone grey. It's amazing. I use it for my brows. I have dark brown hair and my skin tone is quite fair. I love the fact that it's completely matte.its perfect for eyebrows if you have black and brown hair. Usually my eyebrow shadows either have a slight reddish tint which is not flattering when you have dark hair. Love it!

Pressed Powders -E.L.F. - Complexion Perfection
ChanelLove07 2/2/2012 2:28:00 AM
Absolutely love this powder. Omg I can't believe I've only used this now. I always had a problem with my oily/shiny t-zone. And even if I used a mattifying translucent powder it didn't quite do the trick. It really mattifies my shiny areas. HOW I USE THIS: I use a clean cotton pad every time I use it due to sanitary reasons. If your mattifying a shiny or oily area you want to use a clean powder puff etc because im prone to breaks out but I don't want to buy a new powder puff or clean it. So I use round cotton pads. I dab it in the powder a few times and lightly dab it into my skin after foundation and translucent powder. I use the yellow to brighten under my eyes and it brightens it up. I use the green to neutralize and mattifying my pinky nose. It really keeps my oily/shiny t zone at bay. Yet leaving me a really nice semi matte semi dewy glow, ahhh I love it. Love love love it!

Liquid -Almay - Nearly Naked LIQUID foundation
ChanelLove07 2/2/2012 2:16:00 AM
READ EDIT UPDATE: I've tried this out once before and for some reason I didn't quite like it. It looked oily and shiny on my face. But I decided to give it another go. But this time I mixed it with revlon photoready liquid foundation. I couldn't find the right shade for me the closest I could find was 140 buff but it's a tad too light so I mixed revlons 004 nude and omg it's the best duo together. It makes me look like I'm not wearing any foundation at all. It just looks like you have really nice and healthy skin. I also realized that I'm less shiny on my t-zone as well. EDIT: I have been breaking out when I used this for over 3 weeks. And I realized it was this foundation. It clogged my pores :( it even clogged my sisters pores. Cause she wanted to try it out too. We haven't been using it ever since and our skin have cleared up. I will never use it again. I will stick to my HG foundation which is the revlon color stay and photoready been using that for 5 years and never had a problem

Concealers -Maybelline - Cover Stick
ChanelLove07 2/1/2012 4:07:00 PM
I have this in green to hide any redness and pimples. It's not that great. But it does somewhat neutralize the redness. It's a little cakey and drying and hard to blend. And difficult to hide the green tint with foundation. But overall, it does neutralize redness not pimples

Eye Shadow -NYX - 10 Color Palette - Champagne & Caviar
ChanelLove07 2/1/2012 4:04:00 PM
Omg I love this eye shadow palette! Perfect for everyday cause it's natural colors. I mix the dark brown and black one to mudge under my waterline and god does it stay on for forever and a day. There's also a color that's a matte taupe color which is great for deeping up the crease. Love it. A mix of amazing matte and shimmery shades. Must have. And there's a gigantic mirror which is a huge plus.
