Lipstick -MAC - Costa Chic
JJPorter 4/7/2010 10:40:00 AM
This is a cute coral colour but I agree nothing like the online swatch that MAC have up. It is almost a fluro bright 80's colour. I love this on me with a tan.

Lipstick -MAC - Cremesheen Lipstick - Ravishing

I love this coral but I prefer it when I have a tan, very pigmented. Sometimes I mix it with some peachstock to tone it down.

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre in High Tea
JJPorter 4/6/2010 8:55:00 AM
I love this lipstick, it is a great everyday pretty nude. Will always have this handy in my makeup bag. Don't really use it in my kit much as it is a little glossy so doesn't have as mush staying power as a matt lippie.

Blush -MAC - Satin Blush - Well Dressed
JJPorter 4/3/2010 11:05:00 AM
I brought this for my kit as the girls at MAC said it was popular. I was a bit scared of it as it is a pretty pink and a am more of a bronzer based girl. But after having it untouched for about a month, I put it on to go to a friends party and I fell in love. I am an N3 or C3 and it is just beautiful.

Blush -MAC - sunbasque

I think this is comparable to MAC honour in that it is sparkly without much pigment. Very frosted on the cheeks and glittery.

Blush -MAC - Honour
JJPorter 4/3/2010 10:13:00 AM
This is not great by a long shot. As a blush it doesn't do anything but add shimmer. As some people said it would make a good glittery highlighter for darker skin.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Makeup Art Cosmetics Notoriety Eyeshadow Quad
JJPorter 4/3/2010 10:04:00 AM
This is my favorite mac quad! I am a makeup artist and I used this on my wedding day. I love skin tone 2 it is a perfect golden and pairs perfectly with notoriety. This is probably the only MAC quad that I use regularly. It is beautiful, if they didn't last so long I would of brought two!

Mascara -MAC - Fibre Rich Lash Mascara

This is probably my favorite out of the MAC mascara's but still not great ($30 in Australia). I will stick with the my trusty store varieties for half the price.

Blush -NARS - Blush Duo in Hungry Heart
JJPorter 4/3/2010 9:28:00 AM
I brought this for my kit, I think this is the worst Nars product ever. I brought this directly off the internet so didn't realise it had glitter. This has no pigment just glitter not like it showed on the internet swatches. If you want glitter go for this but MAC belightful has a much prettier sheen without the tacky glitter.

Mascara -MAC - Zoom lash
JJPorter 4/3/2010 6:23:00 AM
This mascara is expensive even with industry discount for what it is. I brought it because of all the raving reviews by 'mac' artists. What a waste of money, this has the worst brush on it I have ever come across and I found it quite clumpy.

Mascara -Maybelline - Full 'n' Soft waterproof mascara (vitamin E)
JJPorter 4/3/2010 5:56:00 AM
I buy this all the time for my kit and use it on all my brides! It has the best brush on it, to coat the lashes. I haven't found anything I would rather use and the price is just a bonus! I tried CD Dior show as I had heard geat things about it but for the price there was no notable difference. Will buy full and soft over any MAC mascara, even with my industry discount!

Concealers -Graftobian - HiDef Corrector Palette
JJPorter 4/2/2010 6:25:00 AM
At first I wasn't sure but after buying this I will never look back! I do more wedding makeups than I can count and always felt a little glum after someone with pigmentation as covering it was always a problem... until now! The pink Hi-light makes it effortless to cover and I was completely gob smacked with the result! I use the green with a light hand though under foundation to counteract redness and spider viens. Don't love it under the eyes though, even with setting powder it seems to be a bit cakey when cried away. Great buy!

Makeup Brushes -NARS - 27 - Yachiyo
JJPorter 4/2/2010 6:12:00 AM
This is one of my favorite brushes. I ordered this specially from the US as even with paying postage to Australia through myus.com it was cheaper than buying from the ripoff merchants mecca cosmetica. I love this brush for contouing there is no other like it. It makes building colour fool proof and follows the natural contours of the face! Much prefer it to mac's angled contour brush, wish I had 5 of these!
