This is a very subtle shade. Seems to be a complement to blue eyes. High recommendation.

Primer/ Corrector -Clinique - Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector
Lauriekh 8/28/2004 2:19:00 PM
Miracle in a tube status for this product. I apply it after my Super City Block and before my BE foundation. Only the tiniest amount of this product is needed so this tube should last quite a while. During the day I use Cle De Peau Pore Correcteur if needed. For the pores on my cheeks I use agnes b. touch lissante. All three of these products are HGs if you need a little help concealing pores. Highest recommendation.

Primer/ Corrector -Cle de Peau - Translucent Corrector for Pores [DISCONTINUED]
Lauriekh 8/28/2004 2:15:00 PM
Nice product. It definitely works to conceal the pores on my nose. I use agnes b. touche lissante for a few pores on my cheeks, as this Cle De Peau product seems better suited for the nose area. This is nice for mid-day touch ups, too. I have fair skin, so the light cast it gives isn't a problem. Highly recommend if you have pores you would like to conceal.

Primer/ Corrector -Agnes B. - Touche Lissante
Lauriekh 8/28/2004 2:12:00 PM
This product really makes my complexion pretty. When I use it before my sunscreen and BE foundation, it seems to smooth over the tiniest imperfections to create a nice canvas for the rest of my makeup. I also use Clinique Instant Pore Perfector and Cle De Peau Pore Correcteur. This product by agnes b. is good for anywhere on the face where the other two seem to work best for pores on the nose that need filling in. Highly recommend and a definite repurchase.

Concealers -Cle de Peau - Concealer - ochre
Lauriekh 7/9/2004 3:20:00 PM
Purchased this with the hope of covering my blue undereye circles. In terms of not creasing, caking into fine lines, melting, etc. it does a great job--it is like silk. It stays put. My circles are not completely covered, but this concealer does not seem to highlight the circles like other concealers sometimes do. It also creates seemless coverage. I haven't tried to use this for anything other than the circles under my eyes.

Blush -New York Color - Sutton Place Peach 656A
Lauriekh 5/23/2004 10:15:00 PM
This is a wonderful hidden treasure. I love to use this as an eye shadow after it crumbles (this shade seems to complement blue eyes and probably other colors as well). When it crumbles, I put some of the pieces in a little jar from Bare Escentuals. Kind of solves the tacky packaging. This gives such a healthy glow. Wear this and people have to declare how beautiful you are -- after they regain the ablilty to speak because you will look simply breathtaking. Yes, this is a hidden treasure.

Blush -MAC - Sheertone in Pinch O'Peach
Lauriekh 5/21/2004 6:56:00 AM
Lovely natural color. Very high quality. This blush is buildable and can be used with other pink blushes. Seems to brighten complexion. This looks nice if you use black mascara--seemed to wake up my face after getting five hours of sleep the night before. The packaging seems a little cheap. I think the top that says "MAC" is going to go soon. Otherwise this is a great product. This makes me want to try other blushes in this line.

Blush -Bare Escentuals - Mineral Blush in Beauty
Lauriekh 5/4/2004 8:15:00 PM
Beauty is another beautiful shade from Bare Escentuals. This works on my light warm skin. I recommend and will purchase again if I ever use all of mine (because a little of BE blush goes a long way.)

Blush -NARS - Amour
Lauriekh 5/4/2004 8:11:00 PM
My favorite Nars blush. This layered with Gina is awesome. I like it as well as BE Golden Gate. Amour is a matte peach. This shade is natural and gives a natural healthy flush. Would purchase again.

Blush -NARS - Gina
Lauriekh 4/15/2004 6:33:00 PM
Gorgeous shade of peach. The color is vibrant and matte. Very flattering on my light/warm complexion. Use a light hand as it is highly pigmented. I like this as much as Bare Escentuals Golden Gate and L'Oreal Charmed Peach; Nars Gina is a little more bold. Highly recommend.

Mascara -Maybelline - Full 'N Soft Mascara
Lauriekh 4/11/2004 8:37:00 AM
Full and Soft is very natural. This is a no-brainer. I hope Maybelline continues to make this for years to come. It does what you need mascara to do: holds curl, looks natural, and stays put. Does not give a dramatic look, just natural and pretty.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Triple Mascara [DISCONTINUED]
Lauriekh 4/11/2004 8:32:00 AM
Cover Girl Triple Mascara in black stays put and gives a finished look to my face. Maybelline Full and Soft gives a more natural look, but Triple seems to lengthen and darken with a bit more drama. I like to use Triple for the top lashes and Full and Soft for the bottom lashes. Even though that is high-maintenance, both stay put all day and seem to give the best of both worlds.(If I use Triple on the bottom lashes they get too long and unnatural-looking.) Highly recommend both affordable and quality mascaras.

Blush -Bare Escentuals - Thistle
Lauriekh 4/10/2004 10:25:00 PM
Very pretty shade. For me this is a good alternative to using warmth or glee, as both of those do not work on my fair complexion. Thistle is flattering on my light/warm skin tone. This seems to do for me what warmth and glee do for everyone else. Highly recommend.

Blush -L'Oreal - Feel Naturale in Charmed Peach
Lauriekh 4/10/2004 3:51:00 PM
OMGosh...MUAers steered me in the direction of L'Oreal Charmed Peach. THANK U MUAers once again for your sage guidance. This is my HG blush, as much as I love my BE Golden Gate and Bourjois Peach and Neutrogena Sunny Spice for my matte peach-giving-a-healthy-cute glow effect (all very nice blushes). Charmed Peach is truly peach in comparison to the above-mentioned shades and truly charming. Simply gorgeous. Why aren't the magazines raving about this to us?? This is not even in the same league as that infamous Nars shade we hear about whenever the word "blush" is mentioned. Due to MUAers raves, I ordered on line NARS Gina and it has yet to arrive. Will update my review when I can add that one to the comparison. (BTW I am light/fair/warm with yellow undertones/medium blond/dark blue for a frame of reference.)

Highlighters -Prescriptives - Sunsheen Body Tint
Lauriekh 4/9/2004 4:47:00 PM
Prescriptives Sunsheen is a fantastic product. I will definitely use it during the summer months. Hopefully, the people at Prescriptives will perfect the bottle. Right now, it is easy to get too much product when dispensing. This product is a wonderful alternative to self-tanner.
