Tinted Moisturizer -Stila - NEW Stila Sheer Color Oil-Free SPF20
Lisa527 4/30/2013 8:22:00 PM
I have it in bare and light. It's medium coverage, moisturizing, easy to blend, stays all day even after sweating without any darkening! Neat packaging, great C/P (Got two shades during 50% off. ) Definitely a re-buy!

Lipstick -Revlon - Colorburst Lip Butter - 080 Strawberry Shortcake
Lisa527 4/24/2013 9:52:00 PM
After many tries, this one come the closest to the pink that I want. Not too light as cotton candy, not too bright as sweet tart. A nice shade for my NC20 skin, but not the texture.. I really wish it didn't come with the subtle shimmer in it coz I just don't like shimmer at all, it would have been perfect if it's the same sheer texture as sweet tart. Well... maybe I should try the kissable lip balm next time.

Lip Treatments -Nivea - Lip Butter
Lisa527 3/29/2013 12:26:00 AM
Bought this in Raspberry rose kiss. The product is a cotton candy pink and is absolutely adorable! Smells good, applies well, it does add a hint of pink on your lips, which I like, and not oily or shiny at all, which could be embarrassing. I don't think it's as moisturizing as Vaseline, but again, love the package, the smell, and the finish look. So nothing to complain, nothing is perfect. I'd definitely recommend this to my fds!

Concealers -Cinema Secrets - Foundation/concealer
Lisa527 3/4/2013 11:56:00 AM
I got this online with 50% off together with super sealer, the latter is also amazing! Ok, back to to this foundation/concealer, it was back ordered for 2 months, but when I finally got it, it totally worth the wait. The texture is super light and blendable, a little goes a long way. It made my benefit erase paste look so clumpy and heavy.... I'm about NC20 with yellow/cool undertone, and 602 matches me well. Haven't tried it as a foundation, but I guess it can be great for travelling. Definitely will re-purchase. Update: I tried it as a foundation the other day, it works great. You probably need loose powder after application, and its matte finish lasts all day. The sheer texture and great coverage is really becoming my top choice. Haven't touched other concealers (Benefit erase paste, LM secret concealer, NYX jar concealer) since!

Liquid -Rimmel - Match Perfection
Lisa527 2/6/2013 1:29:00 AM
Bought this on sale at Ulta for $1.99 (?!!!) I got this in true ivory, which is a great neutral/coolish color. Clean and almost matte finish, lasted 10 hours on me. Did not turn any darker, sweet!

Eyeliner -Essence - Gel Eyeliner
Lisa527 1/25/2013 12:34:00 AM
Got this when BOGO 50% off at Ulta. Dirt cheap, but the packaging is not cheap at all, very solid glass container. I got the Midnight in Paris, which is a matte black. Generally speaking, black is the easiest color to smudge even in the same product line, but this one DOES NOT! Bobbi brown gel liner smudges on me but this one does not! The product itself is soft and creamy, pretty wet and applies really smooth. Shame that Ulta only carries 2 color. Would love to try some more!

Eye Shadow -Bare Escentuals - Ready 8.0 Playlist Palette
Lisa527 1/24/2013 9:48:00 PM
Got it about 50% off, the package is superb!!!! Love it! All colors can be utilized with great versatility, pigmentation is very nice, too. I have this palette and cocktail party as well. This one is more neutral while the cocktail party is more feminine. Both are my favorites. Especially the brush that comes with the palette is of really high quality! Perfect for travelling and great as a gift to girlfriends. I should have bought more!!! Update: I brought this for a two-week travel. It works great. Versatile and practical, with lots of variation in color. Highly recommend!

Eye Shadow -Wet 'n' Wild - Color Icon #252B Nutty
Lisa527 1/24/2013 9:40:00 PM
Nutty is a greyish shimmery taupe that is great for a everyday look, but nothing very special about it. It's not deep enough to create a deep eye look, more of a natural polished look.

Eye Shadow -Wet 'n' Wild - Blue Lagoon
Lisa527 1/24/2013 9:36:00 PM
Wanted to have a obvious blue color that can pop out under my glasses. This one is. It actually applies on me more like matte than sheer, but the color payoff is nice and blends really well.

Eye Shadow -Wet 'n' Wild - Color Icon Single in Brulee
Lisa527 1/24/2013 9:32:00 PM
Great great base color! Applies like a dream, really natural but brightens up your eyelid. Pigmentation is superb. Definitely want to stock up.

Eye Shadow -Wet 'n' Wild - Color Icon Single - Kitten 257A
Lisa527 1/24/2013 9:30:00 PM
I heard this is a dupe for NARS Strada. The payoff is rather poor without a primer tho. Under lemon aid, it finally shows off the purple with gold shimmer, however it's more of a taupe undertone, rather than pure light purple of Strada, which is a little bit disappointing, but I guess that's more wearable and subtle then.

Eye Shadow -Wet 'n' Wild - Color Icon Single - Envy
Lisa527 1/24/2013 9:21:00 PM
Envy applied on eyelid lighter than it looks in the pan, which is nice, since most my green eyeshadows tend to apply darker than it looks. This is a green that others can tell even if you are wearing glasses. Applies smooth, great pigmentation. Can't beat the price as well!

Lips -NYX - Soft Matte Lip Cream in Istanbul
Lisa527 1/13/2013 7:33:00 PM
Finally, my dream pink lip product. Got it at Ulta for BOGO 50% off, then uses a $3.5 of $10 coupon. Pros: Professional packaging, sweet vanila scent, great matte finish and lasting power. It's a neutral pink that doesn't look too pale in daylight. Cons: It won't dry you out, but if your lips are not in good condition it'll show.

Blush -Stila - Convertible Color Lillium
Lisa527 12/15/2012 2:45:00 AM
Lillium definitely looks much better on cheeks than in pan. I bought Petunia first, it looks most adorable itself, but that color just turns coral/orange on my cheeks no matter how I apply it. But lillium, although it's a muddy color in pan, it's beige undertone matches perfectly with my skin tone and leave only the pale pink on my cheeks! Love it love it love it! Also, I love the compact package with the mirror, big plus. If you have cool yellow toned skin, you should give it a try.

Lipstick -Revlon - Superlustrous Lipstick Fuchsia Fusion
Lisa527 12/15/2012 2:36:00 AM
My first Fuchsia lipstick. Got it on clearance, dirt cheap. But the color really amazes me. Bright blue-toned fuchsia pink, non-dying & super cute! Kind of exotic, too. Update: Although it looks fabulous during night, in bright day light it does brings out my yellow undertone, which I don't like. If you have fair skin go ahead.
