Lipstick -MAC - Cremesheen - Creme d'Nude
Shansie101 9/6/2012 5:19:00 PM
This shade is an ok nude, I think it would look best on darker skin tones. For me hue is a much better nude shade so I don't end up wearing this one too often. Your lips have to be scrubbed and some sort of balm applied first for it to go on smooth. Even then after applying the lipstick I go over it with my finger to even it out and make sure it's not patchy and spread evenly on my lips.

Lipstick -MAC - Pink 4 Friday by Nicki Minaj LE
Shansie101 9/6/2012 5:14:00 PM
I bought into the hype of this lipstick and I will admit I wish I hadn't. I ended up paying ridiculous eBay prices for this and the novelty has worn off! This is not a lipstick I will wear very often but I do find it very fun and pretty with a tan for a night out. It doesn't look very good on me if I'm paler than usual, but with a bit of a tan it can be quite nice.

Lipstick -MAC - Cremesheen Creme Cup
Shansie101 9/6/2012 5:08:00 PM
Beautiful blue toned pink! It's super creamy and feels great. With any creamy lipstick or creme sheen it doesn't last very long on your lips and you need to reapply often, but it's worth it! If you're interested in barbie pinks but can't muster the strength to wear them, or maybe you just don't have somewhere to wear such bright colours, this is the pink for you! It's a very wearable tame Barbie pink. I absolutely love it.

Lipstick -MAC - Cremesheen- Modesty
Shansie101 9/6/2012 5:03:00 PM
MAC creme sheen formulas are my favorite the formula is so moisturizing and feels great on the lips! This colour is very beautiful and natural, to me it's a nice darker natural colour. The name "modesty" suits it perfectly! I felt that this colour suited me better as a brunette than a blonde. It's a great fall/winter colour.

Blush -MAC - Satin Blush - Well Dressed
Shansie101 9/6/2012 4:57:00 PM
Love MAC packaging for just about everything. As for the product itself I found that I had to use it a bit to really start getting the pigment without having to build the colour so much. It was almost as if there was a film on top that I had to get past. The first 3 times I used this it didn't deposit very much colour to my cheeks, and personally I love blush and I like to see it! However after those initial uses I found the colour to be decently pigmented and I didn't have to work at it much to get it on my cheeks. I find this blush lasts on my face about 5 hours, then I would likely need to reapply it some more. The colour is a very pretty pink with blue tones in it but I do feel it really wakes up my face!

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre Lipstick - Pretty Please
Shansie101 9/5/2012 9:41:00 PM
This lipstick is gorgeous! It's a perfect pale milky pink colour that is very wearable for day to day. I will say if I'm a little paler than normal it washes me out but with the right amount of bronzer it's beautiful! It is very moisturizing on the lips and of course the packaging is sleek and chic. I think MAC lipsticks in general are the absolute best and are what I wear most of the time. This shade is beautiful!

Lipstick -MAC - Amplified Creme - Chatterbox
Shansie101 9/5/2012 9:36:00 PM
I personally found this shade of lipstick to be way to bright for me! The only way I found to make it wearable was to lightly dab it on to apply and then use MAC's lipglass is "c-thru" that tamed it down enough for me. It's a beautiful colour and if you like bright lipsticks then go for it! But as a warning it is definitely very drying so make sure you have a good lip balm!

Blush -The Body Shop - Baked To Last - 02 Coral
Shansie101 9/5/2012 9:31:00 PM
Favorite blush I have ever used! I have the one in petal. I like to swoosh my brush in both colours and then apply, it's the prettiest peachy pink! Very nice for summer but I plan to be using it year round. I have also used the peach section just as a highlighter, it truly doesn't deposit much colour on its on but it is a very nice shimmer to highlight with. The colour stays on your cheeks all day! I can't say enough good things about this product.

Foundations -The Body Shop - All-In-One Face Base
Shansie101 9/5/2012 9:23:00 PM
This is my absolute favorite foundation ever!! It can be a light coverage or built up for full coverage and not at all cakey!!! I have oily skin and it keeps me pretty matte, I do use oil blotting sheets throughout the day to keep my face fresh and would say that is still necessary. I think you get what you pay for, for the most part and considering that this foundation is a steal at about $25. It lasts me about a month and a half but I think it's very worth it. This is a product I have been repurchasing constantly for the past 5 years. It feels great on my skin and it's in a cute compact as well I can just throw in my purse! 100% recommend.

Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup

This foundation was amazing for the fact that it is absolute amazing coverage. I found applying it with a wet sponge and building the coverage worked really well and fixed the issue with the product drying too fast. The reason my rating isn't very high is because it made me break out! Really quite bad. I will still use up the product, I don't generally go for a full coverage foundation very often so it's not something I'll be using on a daily basis. The packaging was visually appealing however I really wish it had a pump for sanitary reasons! I did get the foundation for combination oily skin and I have to say it covered all my flaws and stayed matte all day long. To conclude, if the formula didnt break my skin out I would be raving about this foundation!
