Polishes -Butter London - All Hail the Queen

This colour is very similar to Yummy Mummy but with sparkles in it. It is beautiful, especially when it catches the light. Beautiful mushroom beige with kick!

My fave black/red! Goes on smooth and even and wears wonderfully. Stays glossy even with no top coat. I think I am on my second bottle of this colour.

Eyeliner -MAC - Fluidline Eye-Liner Gel in Blacktrack
Nina000 2/9/2011 1:51:00 PM
I like this liner for smudging under my eyes. I do find that I have to set it with a powder in order for it not to move. I however do not like this product as my top liner, because I find throughout the day my shadow will fall onto the liner and stick to it, making it look faded. It is also hard to get a really thin line. I have tried many different brushes, and I find it finicky. For my top liner I still prefer my HG Geisha Ink liner.

Eyeliner -Kiss Me - Kiss Me Eyeliner in Black
Nina000 2/7/2011 2:42:00 PM
I picked this up at a boutique in Toronto on Saturday and I think I might have liked it if it wasn't for Geisha Ink's liquid liner. I bought the liners at the same boutique, at the same time because I wanted to compare them. There is no comparison. I did not like the brush. It was hard to create a thin line. Part way through the day, the liner started flaking onto my face. I am not really sure what they hype is, definitely did not live up to my expectations. The Geisha Ink liner was 100x better then the Kiss Me. I do not think I wasted my money because now I not wondering anymore about which one is better.

Eyeliner -Unlisted Brand - Geisha Ink- Liquid Eyeliner
Nina000 2/7/2011 2:32:00 PM
My Besty and I had to pick up some things in Toronto. So on Saturday we made the 4 hour drive from Ottawa to Toronto. I wanted to put the liner to the test, and bravely wore it to my bootcamp workout Sunday morning. Like the reviewers say, it did not BUDGE (unless wiped)! This is now my HG liner. SOOO incredibly easy to use! I can create the THINNEST line along my lash line. I is also so amazing to create a beautiful cat eye. Came off super easy at the end of the day with a little soap and water.

Styling Products -Schwarzkopf - Osis+ Dust it mattifying powder
Nina000 2/2/2011 1:52:00 PM
I thought this was more of a oil control product rather then a styling product. Didn't do much for my hair, since it is really thick and long. However, I gave it to my sister who has thinner and shorter hair then me and she loved it! I really saw a difference in the volume of her hair when she used it. Impressive.

Great pencil for the eyebrows, however it is used best when it is nice and sharp! Can wear off easily at the tail. However all in all good product!

Misc Beauty Tools -Tweezerman - tweezers
Nina000 1/31/2011 6:12:00 PM
Amazing tweezers, I wouldn't use anything else. I get my brows threaded, but they are perfect for clean up inbetween sessions. Never a problem to get even the shortest hairs. Worth the price! Life time sharpening!

Beautiful colour! Just wish the smell wasn't so strong. I love OPI colour, however I wish they were more chemical free like Essie or Butter London.

Makeup Brushes -Sephora - Professional Natural Smudge Brush #11
Nina000 1/31/2011 6:06:00 PM
It's ok, did not blow me away. Thought it was a little thick for shadow. I prefer a tapered brush for smudging. However good value for the price.

A little light for my skintone. However is a nice natural colour on me. Packaging a little annoying being cardboard and product being quite deep in the square cardboard. Probably can find a similar colour at MAC.

Fragrances -Dolce & Gabbana - Light Blue
Nina000 1/28/2011 2:52:00 PM
When this first came out, I thought it was a nice, different, fresh scent. After wearing it for a few months, I noticed so was everyone else. I was smelling this scent everywhere I went, which really turned me off. The key to a good scent is that it smells a little different on everyone (depending on body chemistry). This one seems to smell exactly the same on everyone who wears it. Still looking for a signature scent.

Treatments (Eye) -100 Percent Pure - Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream
Nina000 1/28/2011 2:48:00 PM
Wonderful scent, nice rich texture! I really like this eye cream. I did not notice it taking away any under eye circles, but did help moisturize well. A little heavy for the hot Ottawa summers, but excellent in the winter months:).

One of my fave colours from MAC! Looks beautiful on my light East Indian skin, and really brings out my Hazel eyes! I would die if this colour was ever discontinued.
