I absolutely love my BB! I bought the pack of 2 after reading all the raves on this product and I can say I was not disappointed! I love the way it applies my foundation, it is easy to use and easy to clean and I have had mine for a year and both of them are still in great condition! If yours are not lasting a long time, then you are doing something wrong!

Shampoo -Pureology - Pureology Hydrate Shampoo
UWMsGirl 3/19/2013 8:06:00 PM
I absolutely love this shampoo. My stylist recommended it when I told her my hair felt dry and I needed something that would help make my hair feel soft and healthy. This shampoo did it. I love it, it doesn't weigh my hair down at all and you need very little product. I only use a dime size and it is more than enough. It is a bit pricey, but worth it. I have noticed a huge difference in my hair, will definitely buy it again!

Powder -Chanel - poudre universelle libre(natural finish loose powder)
UWMsGirl 3/16/2013 10:03:00 PM
I have normal/dry skin. I am currently using Chanel Vitualmiere foundation which I LOVE btw. Since I have been using this foundation I decided I needed a powder to set it, but I wanted a powder that wouldn't take away that dewy look that the Vitualmiere foundation gives me...I found it with this powder! It is great, it sets my foundation without taking away the dewy look and it looks amazing, it makes my face look and feel like silk....I wasn't sure about spending $52 plus on this, but I have no regrets...it was worth every penny! I am so happy I bought this, definitely give it a try!!! Adding this powder to my makeup routine was one of the best things I have done!

Eyeliner -Urban Decay - 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Perversion
UWMsGirl 3/16/2013 9:49:00 PM
So, I was in the market for a dark black eyeliner that didn't rub off right away, something that would last all day long and that was blacker than black....well FINALLY I found it...this liner is AWESOME!!! It is the best liner I have tried and I have no complaints. I have been using it for a month and it doesn't smear on me, it lasts all day long and I love how I can at the end of the day just wipe it off with a makeup remover wipe and it's gone. It is a bit pricey considering it's just a black pencil, but it is worth it. Give it a try! I am so happy that this liner lived up to the hype, I couldn't wait to buy it and try it and I am so happy that I LOVE it!!! Will definitely repurchase.

Styling Products -Redken - Iron Silk 07
UWMsGirl 10/2/2012 6:06:00 PM
Well, I was told that this product was great so thought I would give it a try. I didn't read the reviews prior to buying it because many products I feel you have to try out for yourself. I have yet to find one product that absolutely everyone loves. Anyways, I wanted this product to work for me because I love the smell of it and I was in the market for a new heat protectant. This Iron Silk on my hair is just the worst thing I can do to it. The first time and every time I tried it, it left my hair feeling very heavy, waxy looking and hard. Before I even applied this to my hair, my hair felt way better...it was soft, bouncy and healthy looking. When I applied this, it was BAD...it did all the things I described above and I just felt like I had 10 pounds of hair on my head, it was so heavy. Now the sticky part of it, well I mean it is a hair product so that didn't bother me, what bothered me was the product performance. I thought I would give it a chance and used it a few more times, applied less, then I applied more, I let it dry more this time, etc...Did different things to see if that would make a difference....it didn't. This product is just horrible for my hair, I will never buy this product again. I will just have to keep looking for a heat protectant or go back to Tresemme's heat protectant which didn't do what Iron Silk did to my hair. Horrible, horrible stuff!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Violet Trance
UWMsGirl 9/9/2011 7:57:00 PM
I absolutely love this e/s color, it is gorgeous. I use it with GroundWork PP and it goes on true to color and very bright like I want it. I gave it 4 lippies because it is difficult to blend, it takes alot of work trying to get it to blend out evenly atleast for me.

Treatments -Lancome - Genifique
UWMsGirl 2/4/2011 6:00:00 PM
I tried this product because it was recommended to me by a friend, but unfortunately it did nothing for me. Wait, it did do one thing for me, break me out like CRAZY! I am not breakout prone, I don't have acne or anything like that, but this stuff broke me out all over and clogged my pores. I had clear skin before this and now this stuff broke me out so now I am having to treat something I don't usually get, ughhh. I am sure my skin will get back to normal, but I definitely will not be repurchasing this again.

Blush -NARS - Taj Mahal
UWMsGirl 1/16/2011 5:26:00 PM
I can't believe I haven't done a review for this blush. NARS Taj Mahal blush is absolutely stunning, on my brown/tanned skin it goes on a perfect shimmery orange...it is so gorgeous. It gives me this beautiful glow, this natural looking glow. I love wearing this blush with a red lip, I got so many compliments when I wore it this way, by both men and women. I use my skunk brush to apply it and then build up as I go depending on how much product I want. I am a GGG and this blush is gorgeous on my skin, in my opinion this blush was made for women with brown/tanned/dark skin. It looks amazing on our skin and if you don't already have it, RUN and buy...don't walk, RUN! When I first bought this blush I wore it nonstop for weeks, months...I will definitely repurchase it because as much product as there is, I am so in love with this blush that I plan on using it over, over and over again.

Lipstick -Guerlain - KissKiss - 522 - Insolence de Rouge
UWMsGirl 1/13/2011 3:24:00 PM
Insolence de Rouge is one of the most beautiful reds out there. I am a red lipstick freak and have so many, but I have to say this is one of my favorite. It is the perfect true red, very moisturizing as are most KissKiss lipsticks. I always get compliments when I wear this lipstick and it makes me feel so sexy and glamorous. I am a GGG and this lipstick looks amazing on me, I just have to say. Definitely a staple for me!

Lipstick -MAC - Retro Matte - Ruby Woo
UWMsGirl 6/4/2010 10:39:00 PM
I can't believe that I hadn't reviewed this lipstick, Ruby Woo for me is a staple that I absolutely love, I have repurchased it many times. It is a beautiful bright matte red color and it makes me feel sexay! It can be drying, but that doesn't bother me because I love the look of a very matte lipstick especially a red one. I am a GGG and it looks amazing... I love to wear this with so many looks, but my favorite by far is winged out black e/l, lots of black mascara, a touch of Luster blush... SEXY! My hubby loves it!

Lipstick -MAC - Thrills
UWMsGirl 6/4/2010 10:28:00 PM
This l/s is from MAC's To The Beach Collection and I really like it, it is a peachy coppery color. I heard it was similar to O and that is not the case at all... they are completely different. Thrills is so pretty and on my lips it is not drying at all, it is the only l/s I liked from the entire collection. I am a GGG for reference.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Splashing - To the Beach (LE Summer 2010)
UWMsGirl 6/4/2010 8:16:00 PM
I first saw the swatch for Splashing l/g on Temptalia's website and knew I wanted it, but wasn't sure I could pull it off. I went to MAC the day this collection released and fell in love with this gloss, on me it goes on a straight up pink. No nude tones to it, no peach tones to it, nothing... straight up pink which I absolutely love! I tried it on and LOVED it, it looks hot on me. I am a GGG and thought I couldn't pull this color off at first, but I was SO wrong... HOTNESS! I bought one and went home and regretted not getting a BU I ordered another one since they were offering free shipping....ahhh I am tempted to buy another one!

Lipstick -Guerlain - Kiss Kiss - Beige Strass 545
UWMsGirl 2/24/2010 11:08:00 PM
Beige Strass is a gorgeous coppery beige color, not sure if that makes sense, but it looks amazing on. These KissKiss lipsticks are so moisturizing and creamy, they last a long time on too. I have repurchased this several times and will continue to. All tanned/brown skin ladies out there you NEED to get this, it looks amazing on brown skin... a must!

Mascara -Shiseido - The Makeup Mascara Base [DISCONTINUED]
UWMsGirl 5/25/2009 1:50:00 PM
Why? Why did I wait so long to try this product out? OMG is this stuff ever AMAZING!! I was skeptical at first that it would even do anything for me, but like everything else I have to give it a try because I know things like this vary from person to person. Anyways, this mascara base is the best I have ever tried. I have thin medium length lashes and they can never hold a curl even when I use my Shu curler, but with this base my lashes curl and they stayed curled all day long. I use YSL Faux Cils with this or L'Oreal Voluminous, WOW holy long lashes batman! The way I do it is, I curl my lashes first then I apply the mascara base to one of my upper lashes (a little goes a long way) then as soon as I am finish I apply my mascara, then I do my other upper lashes... same way. My lashes get so frickin` long and stayed curled all day long, I love it! I find that if you let the mascara base dry up, it's harder to apply your mascara because it dries up pretty fast... So the BEST way to do it IME is apply base then mascara right after! I will forever keep buying this mascara base, it is a HG and definitely a staple from this day on! Love, Love, Love it!
