Mascara -L'Oreal - Telescopic
Fuu 6/29/2012 8:49:00 PM
This mascara is kind of you love it or hate it, there is not in between. I LOVE telescopic, is the best drugstore mascara I ever used (believe me I LOVE IT I have 2 backups of this at home… is the only product I backup) It’s really lengthening, and is near HG status in my book (my HG mascara cost like 3 times more…. So I don’t bough it that often). That been said I totally understand where all the hate comes from. The brush is WEIRD and takes time to get used to it; the mascara is very “watery” (that something I like in mascara, but like 65% of women hate that) This give 0 volume, doesn’t hold a curl, and is not waterproof. But it really gives you like 25% longer lashes. Because that’s what I’m looking for, is perfect; but it doesn’t address every need. So if the only thing you want is length this one is the one, you just have to get used to the wand; for everything else… keep looking.

Powder -MAC - Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation
Fuu 3/9/2012 10:00:00 AM
I really like this. I used it like a setting powder over my foundation and occasionally alone. It has an amazing coverage, and last like 6 hours (for my that’s a lot for a powder) The color match is a little tricky online ‘cause I use NC 15 in foundation; but the perfect match for my in these is NC25!!!! So I suggest trying first. A good purchase, even if it’s pricey it would last a lot. Is super practical for touch ups.

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre in Hug Me

Hi, since clinique discontinued my favorite shade (like a decade ago…=/ ) I have been looking for the perfect nude… This is it. I’m NC15; but my lips are super pigmented (like the color you would spec from a NC35) so the nudes you would usually use with my skin tone make me look wash out (‘cause I’m used to darker shades in my lips) This is super sheer; so my lips gets an amazing color. Like my lips… but juicier. I suggest to swatch it an tried in person. The lustre lipstick can be tricky to get right. I take a lippie because it has not lasting power. In my case is not drying; but that’s a individual feature too.

Cleansers -Mary Kay - Velocity Facial Cleanser
Fuu 12/29/2007 3:26:00 AM
Well, even if it was a long time ago (Around my eighteen’s) I remember this product clearly. I had mixed skin with no acne problems. This cleanser left my face dry and full of pimples. Any common soap would do a better job. And the match cream doesn’t do anything to make the things better. In my opinion is too harsh for teenage skin and that’s allegedly the market of this product. For the price, the quality and the fact that is not a store product (so is harder to get if you actually want to repurchase) wouldn’t recommend. Of course, every skin is different and I assume this works for some. It is important to notice that, having a fragrance, this product is far from being hypoallergenic so testing ahead could be a good idea.

Styling Products -Unlisted Brand - Proclaim Oil Sheen Spray
Fuu 10/19/2007 4:10:00 PM
ENGLISH/SPANISH. Well, this is a very difficult to use product in my opinion. You can’t spray this directly on your hair because will let it looking like you have put cooking oil on it (and I have VERY dry hair). And if you spray it on a brush I find hard to distribute it evenly in the hair. (I use a boar brush to do it and the results are just ok) If you have a lot of hair like me your really will prefer a product that you can use with damp hair or that can be put in with the hands or that can spray directly. Definitely it isn’t the best product of this brand. Para mi este es un producto muy difícil de utilizar. No se puede rociar directamente sobre el cabello porque deja una apariencia grasosa espantosa, casi de cabello sucio (Y yo tengo el cabello MUY seco) Y si lo rocías en un cepillo encuentro que es algo difícil distribuirlo de forma uniforme sobre el cabello (Uso un cepillo de cerdas naturales y los resultados son sólo aceptables). Si como yo tienes mucho cabello mi recomendación es que busques un producto que te puedas aplicar con el cabello húmedo o que se aplique en spray o directamente con las manos. Realmente no uno de los mejores productos de esta compañía.
