Eyeliner -MAC - Sunbrown Glitter Eyeliner (TanRay)
JoannaRome 6/16/2004 5:30:00 PM
these has micro copper glitters in a clear base. the color is pretty and i like how thin the brush is, that's why i gave it a 2. but the reason such a low rating from me is because i guess i expected to get more of a solid line of glitter. instead the outcome was a splotchy line of glitter. no matter how much i layered i just couldn't get a pretty straight simple line. it just looked like a broken line w/ gaps in between. not the look i was looking for.

a makeup artist reffered me to this when i told her i wanted that "j-lo glow". so i bought it and i tried it at home and the makeup artist was dead on. it did definately give me that j-lo glow. if you're into the whole j-lo thing...give this a try.

Lip Treatments -Almay - Pure Tints Protective Lip Care

the colors are okay...but sometimes it looks a little like cheap lipsticks. worst part is....they're all very drying. not moisturizing at all.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous Lipgloss - Nude Lustre
JoannaRome 6/9/2004 4:07:00 AM
this color is so pretty. the perfect nude shade that doesn't wash me out. i guess it's because of the hint of pink or rose. lasting power isn't that great but what do you expect for the price? but since it's cheap you can reapply as often as you'd like.

Lotions/ Creams -Jergens - Soft Shimmer Skin Radiance Moisturizer [DISCONTINUED]
JoannaRome 6/9/2004 3:02:00 AM
i compared this to the nivea version and in my opinion i liked the nivea better. the nivea shimmer lotion had more sparkles visible. whereas to the jergens one...it does have sparkles but not as much as the nivea. i love sparkles and the more sparkles the better...so i would choose nivea compared to this. but this is still as pretty and looks gorgeous when light or sun hits it. my only gripe w/ it is how if you put too much it ends up looking white or yellowish. whereas the nivea for darker skin tones gives a nice hint of tint to make you sorta look like you had a slight tan.

Lotions/ Creams -Nivea - Silky Shimmer Lotion
JoannaRome 6/9/2004 2:51:00 AM
it's so weird how some just didn't find any shimmer. well i too got a sample of both colors from a magazine and when i gave both a try i saw alot of shimmer. the one for medium to dark skin was just gorgeous. it had micro sparkles that didn't feel gritty at all. my sister told me my arms looked sparkly and almost wet. as for the light to medium color...it was also as gorgeous. it gave my arm more of a luminizing affect. sort of like becca pearl luminizer for the face...but this is nivea luminizer for the body is what i call it. both are very pretty. my fave is the one for darker skin tones because it gives me a slight hint of color to my skin. will definately purchase.

JoannaRome 5/30/2004 8:13:00 PM
this smells like my comet or windex spray. i was expecting to smell CLEAN. but not clean as in bathroom cleaner clean. this reeeeeks. surprisingly enough 'Clean sweet layer' is even worse. a stronger, sweeter, stinky version of the public bathroom.

this stuff is EXPENSIVE. so it took me a looooooooooooooong time to decide whether or not to get this. but the great reveiws made me cave. and so glad i did. i LOVE, LOVE , LOVE this stuff. it makes me glow. i swear everytime i wear this someone always comments on how much they love my skin. and to tell you a secret...i have awful skin! sshhh! don't tell anybody. hehe. it just gives you a glow. i know it's expensive...and maybe for some the first 2 disappointed them. but i had all 3 and this is the only one i ended up keeping. i hope bobbi brown decided to keep this permanently in her line.

Eyes -Bare Escentuals - beach face kit
JoannaRome 5/30/2004 3:11:00 AM
this kit is awesome! perfect for the summer. contains 4 glimmers in a cute little compact. the colors range from neutrals to perfect summery colors. i use them for an eyeshadow and surprised to find even on my cheekbones and colarbone to create a glowy look. very pretty. and it wasn't frosty on me at all. more of a shimmer but not too overpowering like some urban decay e/s's.
