Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - The Black Palette
PromiscuousGayCroMagnon 6/10/2012 8:26:00 PM
I tried so hard to like this palette. I used multiple primers (UD, NARS, Fyrinnae PE) and it still looks like different shades of black, nothing like the intense colors in the pan. The worse parts is there i couldn't even blend it because then it just looked like a bunch of black on my lids. I don't like having to put this much work into a product for such little payoff

Mascara -Bare Escentuals - buxom lash
PromiscuousGayCroMagnon 5/27/2012 3:45:00 PM
This is one of my favorite mascaras. The brush and formula provide great volume and definition. It doesn't do much for length but i guess cant have it all in one. I do one coat of this and another coat of a lengthening mascara. No smudging throughout the day. ID repurchase

Treatments -Paula's Choice - RESIST Daily Smoothing Treatment with 5% AHA
PromiscuousGayCroMagnon 5/25/2012 7:38:00 AM
I bought most of the Resist line to calm my very mild yet persistent acne. I have sensitive dry skin and this product did not irritate it. I was glad to find out i can use products with lower concentrations of AHA but it will still make a difference. It's actually better since i can use it every day without irritation and i don't have to worry about laying off of it for a few days. Its good god keeping my complexion bright. The shipping was very fast and i got it in a 20% off sale. Id repurchase

Cleansers -Paula's Choice - RESIST- Optimal Results Hydrating Cleanser
PromiscuousGayCroMagnon 5/25/2012 7:32:00 AM
I bought most of this line to see if it would help my very mild yet persistent acne. I have super sensitive and dry skin and i really think this line calmed it down. Its a thick white lotion that comes out of the bottle. I rub it around for about thirst seconds and then rinse it off. The only reason i didn't give it a perfect score is because it says it removes all traces of makeup but its actually the worse cleanser I've ever tried for makeup removal. I guess thats just the trade off. Id repurchase

Concealers -Laura Mercier - Secret Camouflage
PromiscuousGayCroMagnon 5/20/2012 6:14:00 PM
$28 for this concealer was a pretty good price. I love being able to custom mix my own shade but I'm still in between two colors. I knocked it down a peg because I'm still in between 2 shades but. bought sc-7 and i use my finger (count do it any other way. Its kind of hard and brushes wouldn't work) to pat the lighter color over my scars, then i go over them again with the darker color until it matches my skin. I also use this as an under eye concealer. I have to use an eye cream first because once again, its hard. The coverage lasts all day and i would gladly repurchase

Im so happy i waited for this blush. On my AA skin it looks like Torrid minus the glitter which is a big yay for me. I find the blush to be really pigmented

Blush -NARS - Lovejoy
PromiscuousGayCroMagnon 5/20/2012 5:20:00 PM
This is the basic blush every AA woman should have. Although i hate shimmer on my face this shimmer in the blush gives off more of a glow than a sparkle. The color is a subtle red bronze that looks very natural. Swatch in profile

Blush -NARS - Gina
PromiscuousGayCroMagnon 5/20/2012 5:13:00 PM
Love love love this blush. I have this blush along with a few others form NARS. Im AA and this is the perfect "glow" color for me. Its described as a true tangerine and thats accurate. Absolutely no chalkiness but it doesn't look orange either. NARS blushes have rarely let me down. The texture and pigmentation makes them very easy to work with. I would repurchase.

Blush -NARS - Dolce Vita
PromiscuousGayCroMagnon 5/20/2012 4:46:00 PM
I have this blush along with a few others form NARS. Im AA and i use this blush often. Its described as a dusty rose but after a few hours the 'dustiness' wears off and its just straight rose. On me it pulls a little mauve and I'm not sure what thats about. I guess Thats just how it looks with my skin tone. I wouldn't repurchase but thats because i really do want a dusty rose color and with no purple in it. Swatches in my profile.

Primer/ Corrector -Cover FX - Cover FX Skinprep FX Nourishing Foundation Primer & Anti-Aging Serum
PromiscuousGayCroMagnon 5/10/2012 10:18:00 PM
This was pretty expensive for a primer. $45 dollars. I needed something to wear under my powder foundation in the summer. Ive been using it for the past few weeks and its oil free and fragrance free. I haven't had any breakouts since I've started using it and it makes all of my makeup go on so smooth and makes it a lot easier to blend out. Its makes all the Powder i put on my dry skin doesn't appear powdery at all, just smooth. I would repurchase it. The only reason it wasn't perfect was because i notice it does get a shiny throughout the day and i have to blot more
