Makeup Brushes -Jane Iredale - Handi Brush
HotKee 10/2/2012 12:14:00 AM
This is a nice brush, as are all of the Jane Iredale brushes. I got this one to use for applying blush, but it would be much better for applying loose powder. The round shape and wider fanned brush hairs make applying blush difficult because you get too much in one spot. I washed it and started using it as a powder brush and it works great!

Misc Beauty Tools -Clarisonic - Pro Skincare Brush
HotKee 9/24/2012 7:47:00 PM
I love this skin tool! I bought this to reduce dry patches and to reduce fine lines. After my first use, I had immediate results. My fine lines were nearly gone, and my skin was so soft even before I put the moisturizer on. When I put the moisturizer on, It soaked right in. I was skeptical about this product after reading all of these reviews. I opted for the pro model because it has three power levels and the option to set the timer for two minutes instead of the standard one minute. I use a foam cleanser and the two minute setting. Before this skin tool, I didn't wash my face regularly. I don't have acne or any major skin issues. After using this, I can't wait to wash my face!

Liquid -Revlon - PhotoReady Makeup
HotKee 9/24/2012 6:45:00 PM
Pros: Pearlescent pigments, Airbrush look Cons: Pale In my opinion, Revlon's PhotoReady is the answer to Make-Up Forever's product. I use PhotoReady to blend with Revlon's ColorStay, due to the fact that ColorStay is: 1. Too matte alone for my liking 2. Too warm in the yellow-golden undertone - the pearlescent pigment and pale color in PhotoReady blend with ColorStay to make a good product PERFECT. The pearlescent pigment in PhotoReady contributes a dewy youthful glow to the skin, similar to the glow of youth very young girls skin has. Awesome. However, this gossamer glow is also it's downfall. Used alone, PhotoReady is also VERY PALE. It is not conductive at all to a realistic, natural color, unless you are naturally pale, and devoid of golden tones in your natural skin and related undertone. The product serves it's best purpose as a lightning agent for a foundation that may be a tad too deep. BOTTOM LINE: PhotoReady and ColorStay are a winning combo - perfection.

My everyday perfume - I love it! It is a lovely & unique blend of crisp, natural, and subtle fruity tones and clean, fresh, aquatic scents. The only person I know who doesn't like it is my husband, but unfortunately for him, I'm not giving this one up!

Blush -MAC - Dollymix

I was looking for something more like covergirls snow plum blush, sheer and sparkly; this, was not that product. It was pink, look at the picture, it's that pink and not sheer so....will be sticking with my old favorite. This one was not for me

Foundations -Maybelline - Dream Matte Mousse
HotKee 9/20/2012 6:48:00 PM
OK I know this mousse has been out 4 a while but I decided to purchase it mid July after a MUA who did a wonderful job on my makeup for my sisters wedding used it on me and told me it was a great product! I use the caramel dark color which matches my med brown completion to a T! A little goes a long way and the coverage gives me that flawless air brush look and feel. I have been an avid MAC liquid and powder foundation girl since I started wearing makeup however this mousse product far passes those when it comes to coverage and matching my completion so closely not to mention the price is far better than MAC products. my one complaint is that it can rub off easily.

Lip Treatments -Burt's Bees - Beeswax Lip Balm
HotKee 9/20/2012 6:42:00 PM
I have very dry lips and have probably tried every single lip balm on the market, and after finding Burt I have found the dry lip cure. This lip balm is (in my opinion) the best formula in the Burt's line, as it is the most moisturizing, longest wear -- and I love the tingling effect. No other lips balms come close to being as effective as this one is.
