Lip Gloss -Too Faced - Lip Bronzer - Sun Bunny
HelloBrookie 6/10/2009 1:40:00 PM
I just recently bought this product at Sephora and I love it!!! It is the perfect texture and color for summer. I first bought the Sun Bunny shade and after using it for a few days I went back and bought the other two shades (Snow Bunny & Pink Leopard). They have great payoff and it lasts for hours without having to retouch. The scents are amazing...the Sun Bunny smells like chocolate! I can't get enough. Great all around gloss!

Blush -Too Faced - Flushed Blush - Pretty in Pink
HelloBrookie 12/19/2007 3:21:00 PM
Love it! Such a pretty pink that gives my face a nice glow. Sometimes it can be a little bright on my pale skin, but it gives my face such a nice, soft, sweet look.

Fragrances -Escada - Rockin' Rio
HelloBrookie 12/19/2007 3:17:00 PM
I LOVE this fragrance! It smells soo good. It is a little sweet, but perfect for summer nights and the holidays. It reminds me of being somewhere very tropical and exotic. The bottle is pretty, nothing too creative but still pretty. Too bad they discontinued it...Although I did see it at Burlington Coat Factory a while back. I have three Escada fragrances, Rockin' Rio, Sunset Heat (Very similar to Rockin' Rio), and Pacific Paradise (Probably my least favorite out of the three, but it is still good).

Treatments -Biosilk - Silk Therapy
HelloBrookie 12/19/2007 3:10:00 PM
I have been using this stuff for years, and I love it! I used to put it on my hair after I blow-dryed it, but I found that it made my hair really greasy so I started putting it on my hair while it was still damp before I blow-dryed it and it made such a difference! It makes my hair feel really soft and silky, and I have so much hair that I don't really have to worry about it weighing it down. It smells amazing, and you only need a little bit. The only time I use it on dry hair is when I have crazy fly-aways and I need to smooth them down...If you put a pea size amount in your palm and rub your hands together and then just lightly run your palms down your hair it really works!

Makeup Brushes -Too Faced - Teddy Bear Brush Set

These brushes are great! I love that they are not made from real animal hair, but are still really soft and carry pigment very well. I use these everyday!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Mulch eyeshadow
HelloBrookie 12/19/2007 3:01:00 PM
This is a great brown eyeshadow. I usually wear it everyday. It really helps bring out my blue eyes and give me some depth. It's not too dark, so it doesn't look too heavy for everyday use, and it's not too light. And it's not too shimmery, but it does have some nice golden sparkle to it. I really love this eyeshadow and I think it is a basic color that everyone should have.

Shampoo -Brocato - Vibracolor Protective Shampoo
HelloBrookie 12/14/2007 1:05:00 AM
This is a great shampoo! First of all it does not have sodium laurel sulfate in it, which is like a detergent...almost ALL shampoos have this ingredient, seriously look at your shampoo it should be one of the first few ingredients. I am a beauty industry merchandising and marketing major and I have been learning a lot about beauty products and the ingredients in them. Sodium laurel, or laureth, sulfate will dry out your hair (It's in body washes too!) When my teacher told the class that almost all shampoos had this ingredient I immediately went home and checked all my shampoos...Brocato was the only one that doesn't have it! I was so happy. I think there is a brand "Enjoy" too that is sulfate-free. But commenting on one of the other reviewers about it not lathering up...that doesn't mean it's not working! Shampoos and soaps contain foaming agents...which just make the product foam, they have no benefits...only to make it feel luxurious. So if a product does not have much foaming ingredients, it won't lather up...but that definitely doesn't mean it's not working...so don't use more or you'll waste your money!

Primer/ Corrector -NARS - Makeup primer
HelloBrookie 12/14/2007 12:56:00 AM
I was really hoping I would like this primer. I have the one without SPF because it is oil-free. I never used a primer before and I bought this as my first one hoping I would love it, but I don't. About a week after I started using it I started to break-out really bad, I am not sure if it is because of the primer though...I started using Clinique's Dramatically different moisturizing gel at the same time. So I was wearing the moisutrizer and then put the primer on top of it...So I don't know which one for sure was making me break-out, but I stopped using both and my skin cleared up. It didn't make my skin that much smoother, it just kinda felt like a really light moisturizer...that doesn't moisturize. I won't be buying this again.

Lip Treatments -Burt's Bees - Beeswax Lip Balm
HelloBrookie 12/14/2007 12:38:00 AM
This is my favorite chapstick! It gives a nice cool feeling, and it feels really smooth. It is perfect when I have chapped lips, or when I feel like my lips have gotten sun/wind burned. I put this on at least once a day, it is perfect to wear underneath a lip color because it gives your lips some moisture. I keep one everywhere, in my car, in my purse, and in my room. It's my favorite! Oh and its not shiny! I don't really like my lips to be shiny and this really moisturizes without looking like my lips are wet.

Brows -Too Faced - Brow Envy - Brow Shaping & Defining Kit
HelloBrookie 12/14/2007 12:31:00 AM
I love the Brow Envy kit! I used to do my brows with a pencil, but after using this kit I could never go back to a pencil. I thought the powder would not stay on all day, but it does! I use the "Girl Next Door" stencil. It is the thinnest one and it does not have to big of an arch. It is really easy to use because you don't have to try to create the same shape everyday, they always look the same. After applying the wax, I brush on a little powder over them and they stay all day. It gives you two different colors of powders...A light one and a dark one so you can blend to get your perfect color. I have fair skin and I use the light powder and it matches great. I will definitely continue to use this. Love it!

Liquid -Neutrogena - Skin Clearing Oil-Free Makeup
HelloBrookie 11/20/2007 9:29:00 PM
I have been using this foundation for years! I absolutely LOVE it! I wear Classic Porcelain, and it matches my skin tone perfectly. I am never afraid of putting it on because it has never caused break-outs, and it actually helps to fight against them! It gives good coverage (depending on how much you put on), but at the same time still feels light and smooth. I think it has really helped improve my skin. It never clogs my pores, and I never feel cakey or gross when I have it on. I don't think I will ever stop using this foundation...I don't care if it's from a drugstore!
