Makeup Brushes -MAC - 266 Thin Small Angle (Synthetic hair)
Denniska 6/8/2011 5:43:00 AM
This must be the best brow brush ever! So glad I bought it, my brow routine has become so much easier with this, especially shaping the arch, which took me ages before, none of my brushes or pencils were precise enough. With this brush - just dip in wax, dip in powder, two strokes and you have a perfectly shaped arch with a thin tail, which I LOVE! It creates a really precise line so I guess it would be good as an eyeliner as well, but I prefer my synthetic angled eye liner brush from coastal scents.

Lipstick -MAC - Fleshpot lipstick
Denniska 5/31/2011 6:06:00 PM
A perfect nude with a hint of pink on me. A bit shocking and concealer-ish when applied (I sure was shocked :))), but the KEY IS TO BUFF AND SMUDGE IT WITH YOUR FINGER afterwards to blur the harsh lip line and make it appear more natural. Then you can put on some lip gloss, but if you moisturised your lips and you've done the finger thing you may not even feel like you need a gloss. But I do like to experiment with glosses on top of it, I love the look of NYX Mega Shine lip gloss in Miami Base on top, result is the prettiest most natural nude lip, love it! :)

Top/Base Coats -Seche Vite - Dry Fast Top Coat
Denniska 5/29/2011 8:33:00 AM
This stuff totally changed my manicure routine!! Before I was oly wearing sheer pink nail polishes in maximum 2 thin coats so that there would be at least a little chance that I don't get sheetmarks... but I nearly always did anyway. Eversince I bought this I developed a nail polish obsession :))) it dries 3 coats of polish with base coat in no time, dry to touch in 5 minutes, mani looks like from a pro and soo shiny. Btw I'm not too worried about the warning on the bottle, as I think it's exaggerated, you're not drinking the polish or sniffing on it 24/7 so I think it's totally safe. Will repurchase forever.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Satin Taupe
Denniska 5/25/2011 9:09:00 AM
This was my first MAC eyeshadow and it still is my favourite everyday color. Beautiful brown/grey/taupe-ish color that goes great with my cool/neutral undertones, no glitter or shimmer, just a frosty sheen, and with UDPP stays on my lids for the whole day. It makes a beutiful neutral look with a bit more edge :) LOVE it :)

Makeup Brushes -Ecotools - Bamboo Bronzer Brush
Denniska 5/25/2011 9:02:00 AM
So I see I will be the only one writing a less than 100% review :))) But I just couldn't make this brush work for me. It is too dense to be used for a bronzer in my opinion, it picks up too much of product and it's difficult to apply it lightly, and because it's so dense it makes it a bit stiff and it's difficult to 'feather' the bronzer around my face. And I just can't get used to the bulky handle as well. Other than that, softest brush ever, top quality, I just couldn't make it work for me. I will be buying the Bamboo Powder Brush instead though, I think it will be perfect :) *U*P*D*A*T*E* 31 May 2011 - I gave this brush another chance, and I was soooo WRONG before, I love this brush!! :))) I still hate the chunky handle but other than that, this truly is THE perfect brush :)

Lip Gloss -NYX - Lipgloss with Mega Shine - Beige
Denniska 5/25/2011 8:53:00 AM
Why is this called beige? I dunno :) This is such a lovely pink color, not too bright but still a tad more WOW than a nude pink, love it for everyday wear. I use it with NYX Slim Lipliner pencil in Rose or Pinky if I'm looking for more oooomph, I line my lips, fade the lipline into my lips a bit and apply this lip gloss and voila - beautiful luscious shiny lips. It doesn't stay on your lips forever but hey, it's a lip gloss, not a permanent marker :))) I think it has great formula, not sticky and doesn't slide off my lips or into lip lines, it has really nice opacity and the color really shows just with one coat. No glitter or shimmer. I will repurchase forever! :)))

Lotions/ Creams -Palmers - Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula
Denniska 5/25/2011 8:46:00 AM
LOVE the smell, it's probably the best smelling lotion I have ever come across, Yummmm :)))) The formula is a bit thicker than the usual lotions, it's more of a butter, and it's soooooo moisturising and softening, my skin feels like baby bum after using this :))) BUt the best about this product is the smell.... I keep sniffing on my hands everytime I use this :) My boyfriend calls be 'kakavko', which means 'hot chocolate' in Slovak, haha :)))

Lotions/ Creams -Palmers - cocoa butter formula concentrated cream
Denniska 5/25/2011 8:42:00 AM
OMG this must be the yummiest smelling cream ever! :))) I never realized they are selling this in our local drugstore, as the packaging doesn't really catch your eye. It was only after I came across it here I started to look for it. I have to say I love everything about this cream, the SMELL (YUM!!!! :))), the texture, what it does to my hands. I keep a tube on my dest at work at all times. I bought the lotion as well after trying this :)

Eye Primer -Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Original (UDPP)
Denniska 5/16/2011 5:05:00 PM
This truly was worth following all the hype. Creates an invisible light base for eyeshadows, not heavy and cakeynlike MAC paintpots (Painterly, Soft Ochre). Eyeshadows don't crease, stay all day without moving a bit, and are much more pigmented and vibrant. What else can a girl ask for? Maybe just wish they will never stop making this miracle product :)))

Lip Liners -NYX - Slim Lip Pencil - Rose 840
Denniska 5/16/2011 2:17:00 PM
LOVE IT! This color is everything I wanted MAC In Synch to be :))) It doesn't make my lips lighter (like In Synch did, horrible color on me) or darker, just pinkier :) Such a lovely wearable shade of pink. My favourite combo for now is NYX Rose lipliner, MAC Angel lipstick and top it with NYX Beige mega shine lipgloss - the PERFECT pink pout :)))

Powder -Bare Escentuals - foundation in fairly light
Denniska 4/18/2011 11:47:00 AM
I was looking for some good foundation for my combination skin (oily T zone and dry flaky cheeks) for quite a while now, and after no luck with liquid foundations, I decided to give minerals a try. First I didn't like it that much because although it was perfect on the oily parts of my skin, I still had flaky dry cheeks. But then I came across Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant and it totally changed the way makeup looks on my skin, after using the microfoliant, I use my moisturiser and then this foundation and my skin is flawless and the makeup looks sooo natural... love the Dermalogica Microfoliant, buy it! :) So now I have this foundation in MEDIUM and I bought the matte version in light as well and what I do every morning is I mix 2 parts of medium with one part light matte and this works wonders on my face, not too glowy, not too matte, just perfect. I'm amazed how much coverage it gives me, hides red cheeks instantly and using a small firm brush locally on blemishes, it makes them totally disappear. Btw I have the Well rested concealer as well and LOVE IT, would recommend to anybody. Some people say this foundation doesn't provide enough cover, but it's because they use the wrong brush!! BEST BRUSH TO USE WITH THIS FOUNDATION is definetly the BIONIC FLAT TOP BUFFER BRUSH from Coastal Scents, it's sooo soft, literally like feathers on your skin, no hair fall out al all - and I washed it many many times already, and because it's flat, it helps to provide perfect coverage, you'll love it! You can buy it here, they deliver worldwide http://www.coastalscents.com/cfwebstore/index.cfm/product/2161_37/bionic-flat-top-buffer-brush.cfm So I hope my review helped you, thank you Bare Escentuals, thak you Dermalogica Microfoliant and thank you Coastal Scents Bionic Flat Top Buffer brush for making my face look sooooo good :))))
