Smells identical to Coco, but cloying.

Lip Gloss -NARS - Giza
Elise 8/14/2004 11:18:00 AM
I love the color: it's a very sheer (almost too sheer) light peach. I do have to take one lippie away for staying power, though. The texture is quite thin and doesn't stay on long.

Blush -Stila - Convertible Color Camellia

A great color, but far too greasy to use on my cheeks or my lips. This is like an oil slick.

Misc Beauty Tools -Sephora - Heated eyelash curler
Elise 7/8/2004 3:36:00 PM
It does curl my lashes, but the batteries run down after about a week! If you have an endless supply of AAAs, this is the product for you.

Lip Gloss -Smashbox - Lipgloss- Pixel
Elise 7/8/2004 3:06:00 PM
A great pale, slightly milky pink but doesn't make me look washed out. Pink usually looks terrible on me, but this is so subtle. Creamy but not sticky or tacky.

Blush -Delux Beauty - Coral Peach Flush Stick [DISCONTINUED]
Elise 7/8/2004 3:00:00 PM
Love this blush. It's oil-free, so it isn't greasy but it's creamy enough to blend easily and it lasts much longer than most cream blushes. The color is a light, sheer coral that's perfect those of us with a warm undertone. I'm a warm LLL/MMM with yellow; this is a great alternative to pink for someone like me.

A perfect pure peach lip gloss. This is a staple I cannot live without. Looks great with MAC Sheertone blush in Sincere.

Bronzers -Stila - Sun Gel
Elise 5/27/2004 8:22:00 AM
This made my face orange with sparkles. Yuck. If you want a superior alternative, I recommend the Bobbi Brown gel bronzer, which has a brown base an looks far more natural.

Masks -DDF - Sulfur Therapeutic Mask [DISCONTINUED]
Elise 5/19/2004 5:16:00 PM
This mask really does work on oily skin and blemishes, but I have two complaints 1) I wish it came in a tube, 2) no matter how hard I try, I can't keep from getting it in my eyes when I rinse, and the sulfur really stings.

Lip Gloss -Bobbi Brown - Tangerine
Elise 5/18/2004 8:08:00 AM
Love this lip gloss. The color is a sheer, well, tangerine that gives my whole face a sunny glow. I took one lippie away because I really don't care for the sticky, tacky texture of BB gloss. It does add to the staying power, though.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous Lipgloss - Coffee Gleam [DISCONTINUED]
Elise 5/12/2004 1:42:00 PM
This is an amazing lip gloss - I can't believe I paid so little for it. I'm not usually a fan of drugstore brands, but this one won me over. This is a sheer bronze YLBB shade that looks great with my summer makeup (mostly the NARS Palm Beach Multiple). It's not too sticky, not too thin with a smooth feel. Very nice.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Supreme Lipglass
Elise 5/12/2004 10:19:00 AM
This didn't look bronzy at all on me, just taupe, which was really unflattering. This is a shade much more suited to an eye shadow than a lip gloss. Big thumbs-down from me.

Eye Shadow -Becca - Creme Eye Colour
Elise 5/8/2004 10:22:00 AM
I was shocked when I opened this compact for the first time: There was a heavy layer of oil spread over the top of the shadow, just like you would find on a pizza. I was sure I would send it back, but decided to wipe it off with a tissue and see what was underneath. After wiping not only the oil but the top layer of shadow I was very pleasantly surprised. The color (Patina, a golden-green) is gorgeous, and I don't have problems with creasing. It looks terrific with my green eyes. Expensive, but worth it.

Blush -NARS - The Multiple in St. Barts
Elise 4/23/2004 11:56:00 AM
I'm a big fan of the Multiples, but I have to say St. Barts is my least favorite. The taupe shade is just too flat and brown to use anyplace but on my eyes or lips; it just looks dirty on the rest of my face. I give it three lippies as an e/s, but won't purchase again because $35 is just too much for a an occasional e/s.

Blush -NARS - Ninotchka
Elise 4/23/2004 10:13:00 AM
I disagree with other reviewers who see this as "muddy" or "dirty" brown. It actually looks more like a dark, rosy peach shade on me. Ninotchka looks fabulous and very natural with a tan. Probably my favorite NARS blush, and I've tried most of them.
