Cleansers -Dermalogica - Special Cleansing Gel
Makeuplvr111 4/16/2011 9:10:00 PM
This does it job. It did not bother my sensitive, dry, acne prone skin. I liked the smell, it smelled very clean. However, I think it is very high priced considering what it does (or lack there of). It just cleans. It did not cause me to have any reaction whatsoever or any break outs. But very expensive. Will not repurchase.

Lip Treatments -LUSH - Honey Trap Lip Balm
Makeuplvr111 4/16/2011 9:04:00 PM
This is a great lip balm that feels great on the lips. I use this alone or after the Lush sugar scrub. I have sensitive lips and this product feels great and keeps my lips smooth at night.

Lip Treatments -LUSH - Sweet Lips Lip Scrub
Makeuplvr111 4/16/2011 9:03:00 PM
This is a great lip scrub product. I love how it smells and tastes. It performs very well and removes all dry chapped skin and does not hurt. It is a great exfoliant for the lips- the best I have found. I have sensitive lips and certain treatments bother me. This does not bother my sensitive skin at all. This is the best treatment and also is more just sweet than cocoa tasting/ smelling.

Styling Products -LUSH - The Big Tease
Makeuplvr111 4/16/2011 8:52:00 PM
I liked this gel. It has a great smell. I used this for a tousled look to my layered hair. It also gave my hair a piece-y look to play up the bounce in my curls.

Conditioner -LUSH - R&B Revive & Balance Hair Moisturizer
Makeuplvr111 4/16/2011 8:50:00 PM
This is good after treatment and is applied to towel dried hair. This does condition and makes your hair tangle free. The smell can be overpowering depending on the amount that you use and that will keep me away.

Conditioner -LUSH - Veganese conditioner
Makeuplvr111 4/16/2011 8:43:00 PM
I really wanted to like this. It smells okay. It does condition but all I say is a I like it. I would not repurchase again simply for the fact that my hair has felt better with other products. I like Lush though.

Shampoo -LUSH - I Love Juicy
Makeuplvr111 4/16/2011 8:42:00 PM
This is okay. It smells great. Lather is decent and you have a kinda clean feeling after. Your hair feels dry after this and will definitely need a good conditioner after this.

Shampoo -LUSH - BIG
Makeuplvr111 4/16/2011 8:34:00 PM
This had a lot of lather and was easy to use. Not at all as difficult as I have read by other reviewers. My hair felt very clean. However, I did not realize this is not for color treated or highlighted hair. It does make your hair feel dry to as you are using it, mostly from the particles I am sure. It smells okay, kinda like your grandma's laundry detergent. I did not use this after about 6 uses once learning that it could harm my highlights.

Liquid -MAC - Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation
Makeuplvr111 4/16/2011 8:32:00 PM
I love how this foundation looks in NC 25 applied with the 187 brush. This foundation and the 187 brush provide an air brush look with coverage. I have a light to medium complexion with combination normal skin. In my oily areas and dry areas this performed very well. Again I really recommend the brush for application. When I first tried this I did not use the brush and was not impressed at all. This did not cause me to break out or have any allergy break out of red bumps which certain products cause me to have.

Crème -MAC - Mineralize Foundation
Makeuplvr111 4/16/2011 8:27:00 PM
I found this foundation to be moisturizing and could be applied evenly with the right brush, brush 130. I do not wear this every day and had for a month and was already seeing the bottom. I did not feel this foundation helped provide a dewy look or had any light reflecting properties in it. I prefer studio sculpt over this. To help, I have light to medium complexion and wear a NC 25 and have pretty normal skin, some oily spots and some dry spots. This did wear off of my nose after an hour of application with a primer and this is not an oily area for me. This did not cause me to break out or have any allergy break out of red bumps which certain products cause me to have. However, I think this is pricey considering with everyday use and with a brush (that is supposed to make it last longer) you would probably go through it in a month

Powder -Bare Escentuals - Bare Minerals #1
Makeuplvr111 4/16/2011 8:07:00 PM
I had a terrible allergic reaction to this. I would itch when in the sun or working out. It was the bismuth oxychloride in this. In addition, I looked very ghostly in pictures. I am light medium complected and was wearing the medium and it still didn't look like I had any color in pictures. BE was sold this past year to Shiseido and because of their animal testing policy (they are one of the only that still test because it's cheaper to the company to use animals instead of humans) and I liked that BE was an individually owned business prior to their sell. This coupled with the actual negatives of the foundation I will not purchase again.

Blush -Laura Geller - Berry Blush N Brighten
Makeuplvr111 4/12/2011 5:50:00 AM
I did not care for the blush. I have a light to medium complexion and I do not think this complemented my skin tone. There was also too much shimmer. I thought this was highly priced for just a blush and an entry level brush. I returned this.

Mascara -Christian Dior - Diorshow Extase Flash Plumping Mascara
Makeuplvr111 4/12/2011 5:39:00 AM
I like this mascara. It is better than any lancomes I have tried and I have tried them all. I was recommended this over the Diorshow by the MUA. This does do a lot for your lashes, does not flake, you need to be careful because it can clump. I feel like the wow factor lasts longer than any of lancomes. Exstase seems to keep performing still after a couple of months. I can't say that this is my HG mascara but I have not found one that is yet. This would be if it were a slicker mascara. I like a mascara that looks slick and wet and this has more of a dry look on your lash. I would recommend and would purchase again.

Mascara -Christian Dior - DiorShow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum
Makeuplvr111 4/12/2011 5:36:00 AM
I like this. I think this does a little something for lashes and can definitely tell the difference when this is applied prior to a mascara. I have not noticed my lashes growing longer or fuller but when applied before mascara this helps the mascara. I am giving this a 4 because for the price it could do more. I would recommend this if you are in the market for a primer and recommend this over Lancomes. Plus, as animal lover Dior does not test on animals and Lancome is one of the only companies that still does.
