Polishes -China Glaze - Frostbite

One of my favorite polish colors! Very bright royal blue. A little bright for work, but paired with the right outfit it works.

Polishes -OPI - You Don't Know Jacques!

Great color! I always get compliments when I wear this one. Neutral color is in between grey and brown, and goes with pretty much anything. Perfect for day or night.

Powder -Bare Escentuals - Bare Minerals ALL
absinthe27 10/22/2012 2:03:00 AM
I like bare minerals, but alone I have to wear a liquid foundation under it to cover my acne scars. Great for touch-up, and hopefully some day my scars will fade enough to wear just this.

Skincare - Face -Pro Activ - 3-Step System
absinthe27 10/22/2012 2:00:00 AM
I gave Pro-activ a shot after hearing good things about it, but it wasn't for me. Dried my face out a lot and didn't do much for my acne. I much prefer Daniel Kern's acne.org regimen.

Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup

This foundation works just as well as some of the more expensive ones I've used (MUFE, MAC), especially if I use MUFE HD Loose Powder over it. I have never had a problem finding a good match as my skin color varies throughout the seasons either. One thing I've noticed is that if I apply it with my hands I get flaky areas of dry skin around my chin and eyebrows...this isn't really a problem though since I usually use a foundation brush. If this was packaged in a pump bottle, it would be perfect.

Primer/ Corrector -Make Up For Ever - HD Microperfecting Primer in 1 Green
absinthe27 10/22/2012 1:50:00 AM
This was so-so. It was better than nothing under foundation, but I prefer a primer that glides on smoothly like Bare Escentuals or Sephora brand. Also, I was hoping the green tint would tone down my acne scars under foundation, but I didn't really notice a difference.

Blush -NARS - Orgasm Blush

A really good summer blush that looks great with a tan. In some lighting the shimmer can be a bit much though.

Mascara -Bare Escentuals - buxom lash
absinthe27 10/22/2012 1:39:00 AM
This is my favorite mascara; completely coats the lashes in one coat and separates really well. Only thing I don't like is that I get the dreaded mascara "shadow" under my eyebrows from where my eyelashes hit. I have only noticed this with the last two tubes I have purchased though, so maybe they changed the formula recently...not sure.

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Sin Eyeshadow
absinthe27 10/22/2012 1:31:00 AM
My favorite eyeshadow hands-down. I wear this almost every day as a base color. Any UD shadow collection I own has Sin completely wiped out of it before any other color is half empty.

Loose Powders -Make Up For Ever - HD High Definition Loose Powder
absinthe27 10/22/2012 1:15:00 AM
I LOVE this powder. I stopped buying $40 foundation because this stuff makes drugstore foundation look pretty much the same. On a good day, it can make my skin look airbrushed, on a regular day it makes everything much more even then just my old standby - liquid foundation + bareminerals. The only con that I have found with this is that it can make your face look ghostly in pictures if it is applied heavily or if pictures are taken immediately after applying...I have never noticed it in real life though. I will use this stuff forever!
