Bronzers -New York Color - Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny 720
SweetToothedAnna 11/14/2010 1:22:00 AM
I beg to differ with all the reviews that say, "This product does NOT turn orange." IF you are Yellow toned this will most likely turn orange, because it is Pink toned. People here are saying its a neutral brown, No! it's definantly pink toned, which is perfect if you are pink toned, but I'm yellow and it turns majorly orange on me, and I am not that pale! (NC25 in the summer) I had high hopes for this as the boards rave about it, and how it's matte and not orange. Hmm it's nice that it's matte, it has a nice texture on the skin(looks chunky in the pan) and it's dirt cheap, so I'm not sorry for trying it, but now I'm letting you guys know how it went. Definantly recommend to pink toned peoples, sadly not to yellow toned.

Eyeliner -MAC - Chromagraphic Pencil NC15/NW20
SweetToothedAnna 4/23/2010 9:45:00 PM
I purchased the MAC Chromagraphic Pencil in NC15/NW20 for $14.50 at my local MAC counter. This product came out with the Pret-a-Papier collection. I love this product, it looks very good on the waterline or to define your lips, especially when pulling off a red lip. I have pink/sore waterlines due to lack of sleep as I am a student. :D This is the exact color of my skin (NC15 for reference) and is very very creamy, one swipe on my waterline and it was totally covered. Being so creamy is great but I find that it might make the pencil not wear as well, on my waterline it lasts 5-7 hours until it's *almost* gone, it fades very nicely, not patchy. I have quite watery eyes, so those without might get better results. The pencil sharpens fine as long as you have a good sharpener. This product also "sets" when on the skin so it stays well, I think that helps it stay on the waterline better. I might add that this is a bit too dark to define my brow, but I mainly use it on my waterline so it's not a big deal. Overall I think this is a great multi-purpose product. It is definantly an HG/staple product for me, I'll always have on in my stash, definantly recommend. Also it is PERMANENT PRO, so you can just call the Pro number and get it anytime, you do not need a Pro card. I hope this review helps you guys!

Treatments -L'Oreal - Hair detangler (l'oreal kids)
SweetToothedAnna 3/25/2010 12:44:00 AM
I remember using this as a kid!! I use to spray it on my hair just cause it smelled good, like delicious pears! It also actually detangles really well, when I was the age of 6-11 my hair was so fine that I would wash it, run around all day, and in the evening I would have huge mats of tangled hair on my head. My mom would spray this in my hair and brush it out, it helps a lot. I remember when we ran out of it one time, it took so long to get the knots out. Love this stuff, I'll probably use it on my kids when I have them. :)

Lipstick -MAC - Victorian
SweetToothedAnna 2/24/2010 4:04:00 PM
I truely don't understand the harsh reviews for this, but we all have different opions so here's mine: I purchased Victorian(which is a Frost finish) at my local MAC counter, it was released with the Spring Color Forecast collection Feb '10. In the tube it's a gorgeous bright pink almost bubblegummy color, with loads of gold in it, (I find the picture above does not do this justice, it's way more pretty in the tube irl) when swatched it is much brighter, almost a tiny bit cool toned, still with gold running through it, but not as much as it looks in the tube, and that's how it goes on my lips. I have very pigmented lips and this is nicely opaque and covers the pigment very well, you can apply less for just a stain or go full on for super bright 70's ish color, I like to wear this not too sheer but not full on, so in the middle, and it's perfect. I don't find this settling in my lip lines like others have said, and it doesn't bleed, as it's not a very glossy/liquidy lipstick, which means it last a long time, 5 hours on me! Also if you have flakey lips this will emphasize that, but what lipstick doesn't? so make sure to exfoliate and apply a lipbalm beforewards. This definantly doesn't flatter everyone, I do find it leans slightly cool, for reference I'm NC15. This lipstick has the vanilla scent all MAC lip products do, the consistency is smooth, quite creamy, and opaque. I also love wear gloss over this, when I fell it doesn't look quite "right", like if I'm really tired. Sure this isn't for everyone, but I highly recommend this if you like statement lips, or if you just wanna try something new. I would repurchase, if it wasn't LE. (If it matters: I do not find this amazing enough to have to buy a back-up, but still I do really love this lipstick.)

Blush -MAC - Beauty Powder in Personal Style
SweetToothedAnna 1/16/2010 4:23:00 PM
I definantly love this blush. I purchased MAC Beauty Powder Blush in Personal Style for 18.50 USD at my local MAC counter, it was released with the All Ages, All Races, All Sexes collection for Jan. 2010. This is a light, very slightly mauvey, taupe color, and that's what it shows up like on my NC15 skin. I use this as a blush and a contour color, since it is a bit darker for my skin than I would like for a blush to be. I like to use this with any small brush, like the MAC 109 or a small blush brush. The powder is very soft, good pigmentation although not Crazy pigmented, which is good for a blush(imo). I would definantly repurchase (although it's Limited Edition), but I must say I'm not sure how this would show up on an NC30er, since I'm am quite pale, and this is perfect for me. I would recommend for fairer skin. Love it!

Lip Treatments -MAC - Tinted Lip Conditioner- Feelin' Good
SweetToothedAnna 12/29/2009 1:16:00 AM
I love this lip product. I purchased it for $14.50 USD at the latest MAC collection, Warm & Cozy. This is a gorgeous milky pink color, no shimmer, not totally opaque, but it is very soft, moisturizing, and has an SPF in it. It comes in a pot, which is a problem for some people, but I personally love lip products that come in pots, so this is great. I would definantly repurchase, but this is Limited Edition. I am definantly considering buying a back-up of this product, because it is one of my all time favorite color, in a very comfortable moisturizing texture, in fact I am wearing it right now, and it makes me so happy. I definantly recommend.

Concealers -Rimmel - Hide the Blemish
SweetToothedAnna 12/2/2009 11:42:00 AM
Um, no. This stuff is not so great, it decided to make my undereyes cakey and crepey, and I'm only a teen so I shouldn't look like that!! The lightest shade 001 Ivory matched me perfectly (NC10-15 for reference) Which is why i'm giving this two lippies. Otherwise this creased badly, it also didn't cover blemishes well at all, and slid off by the middle of the day. This just isn't for me, ew. I'm glad that this flew out of my sweatshirt pocket, while I was skateboadring, never to be seen again.

Lipstick -NYX - Black Label- Beige
SweetToothedAnna 11/3/2009 1:41:00 PM
I am so disappointed in this. I thought this was going to be a nice nude color, as the reviews on here and the swatch made it seem perfect. But when it arrived I was in shock, it's a dark brown shade!!!! I'm NC10 and this seriously looked like poo on my lips. However I'm giving it three stars because the formula is amazingly creamy and smooth, it has average lasting power. This is a great lipstick, just not for my coloring.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast Length
SweetToothedAnna 10/5/2009 3:17:00 PM
I truely do love this mascara even though I thought I'd hate it, as I don't like regular lashblast. Also to the reviewers that say this doesn't give any volume, hello? it's LashBlast LENGTH, oops ranting, anywayz . This gives me super long lashes with no clumping, no smudging, and no irritation. Some people say my lashes are naturally long, but I'd say they're mid-long, this makes them very very long. although I would say it gives quite a natural effect, which I like(for everyday) but if you like drama, this is not for you. also it's nice n cheap at 6.29 a pop at Wal-Mart(at mine). (although I dispise Wal mart, I believe Target has it on sale for 7.99 once in a while) I will repurchase and I would recommend.

Eye Shadow -E.L.F. - Custom Eyes - Sage
SweetToothedAnna 9/13/2009 8:09:00 PM
I'm not impressed. First off I heard this was a dupe of MAC Mink & Sable e/s, it's not. I have both and Mink&Sable is a olive green with gold shimmer, while this is a dark forrest green with a little green shimmer. Anyhow I have the hardest time trying to blend this, when I try it seems to just come off, even with TFSI or a NYX jumbo eye pencil underneath. if you are on a budget or just starting out though I think these are o.k. and for a dollar it's a pretty good deal. (btw I love the Moondust e.l.f pan e/s and have no problems blending it)

Concealers -Neutrogena - Healthy Skin Concealer
SweetToothedAnna 8/18/2009 10:00:00 PM
Eh, this isn't a very good product. First off I couldn't find a shade match, the lightest shade was pretty much white and the second lightest was too dark. Second the consistency was smooth but when applied it went on heavy and caked horribly even if my skin was moisturized exfoliated and wasn't dry. Third-ly this didn't even last two hours! it rubbed off (except I didn't touch my face....hmmm) and made my face look gross. Fourth I found it to not cover my under eye circles, which is why I got it. I find no pros in this for me, luckily I found their 3-1 concealer for eyes, which is WAY better.

Lipstick -Rimmel - Lasting Finish - Airy Fairy
SweetToothedAnna 8/7/2009 11:13:00 PM
I love this color soooo much. It does have a slight fragrance but then again lipstick fragrance never bugs me. I would describe this as a light pinky lavender, It's very smooth and not drying, and it lasts extremely long on me, like I ate lunch and it was still there. Whoa! I need to go buy more or these. Def recommended.

Lipstick -GOSH - Velvet Touch Lipstick #134 Darling
SweetToothedAnna 8/7/2009 11:10:00 PM
I LOVE this. Everyone said it was a perfect nude color but I find it to be, on my pigmented lips, a light pink rather than a straight nude, which is slightly disappointing. But still the texture is very smooth and has a very slightly glossy finish. it's my favorite. (I'm NC10 for reference)

Mascara -E.L.F. - Earth and Water Mascara Duo
SweetToothedAnna 6/29/2009 3:03:00 PM
I don't like this at all, although it's not the worst ever. It gave me very natural looking lashes, nothing special. It didn't flake or smudge though, hence the two lippies. I'd compare it to Maybelline Great Lash, which isn't so great. But it works for some people, just not for me.
