Cleansers -Sukí - Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser
absolom 12/12/2007 4:35:00 AM
This cleanser has changed my skin. As some reviewers have mentioned, this cleanser along with the toner, serum, creme, and masks completely cleared my skin! For the past few years I've suffered from adult acne along the jaw line and nothing worked including otc and derm rec'ed meds and topical creams. I am amazed! The products all smell heavenly and do what they are supposed to do. I was skeptical of yet another brand of skincare that may or may not work for me, and most haven't, so I am genuinely overwhelmed by the effectiveness of this brand of products. I highly recommend SUKI skincare. My HG!

Fragrances -MOR - Jasmine Tea

This is my first foray into this brand of perfumes. The pretty color and the bottle with it's retro feeling atomizer called out my name. I obliged and fell in love with this citrusy, florally, yet unique scent. It's not complicated and smoldering, but it's light and fresh for spring. I also bout the body creme to layer the scents because the scent didn't linger too long. Ergo four lippies.

Palettes -MAC - Balloonacy Pandamonium quad
absolom 3/28/2007 3:49:00 AM
When I first saw the Balloonacy collection I didn't feel the tingles I usually do when I'm around any new makeup, but I persisted (because all makeup deserves a chance) and much to my surprise, this odd looking palette really worked!!! On my NC30-brown hair-brown eyes, all the color worked. I especially liked Cloudbound as all over and Pandemonium in the crease. Because of the gold in Cloudbound, I ended up with an unexpected smokey grey-green eyes! The staying power of these shadows are amazing. I'm so glad I didn't pass this odd ,yet beautiful quad. I didn't say I'd repurchase because I never manage to even make a dent in any eye shadows! Help!!!

Eyeliner -Cargo - SmokyEye duo in Skye
absolom 9/1/2006 12:19:00 AM
I really feel soooooo ripped off!!! I bought this a few months ago because of the clever concept of creme liner and corresponding powder shadow to set the smokey look. I'm not one to look at price usually, but this product has no staying power. I applied this and went out and only after an hour or so I was terrified by what I saw in the mirror!!! I could of put Courtney Love to shame on her bad make-up day, and this was appied on top of eye primer and powdered to kingdom come, so the thing shouldn't have migrated all over my face within the first hour I put it on. I won't even give this stuff away. I want to keep my friends. aaargghhhh! A lippy for karma!

Cleansers -MAC - Cleanse Off Oil
absolom 9/1/2006 12:04:00 AM
This beautifully scented oil is light in texture and actually does what it's supposed to do, remove make-up! This baby even removes my waterproof mascara, liquidlast liner and all the primers and sunscreen I use easily and quickly! The pump dispenser deposits just the right amount to remove all traces of make-up. Wow, I am so proud of this Canadian company for creating exciting products that are innovative and functional. Bravo, once again!!!

Concealers -Laura Mercier - Secret Camouflage

What can one say about this magic product?! It covers like a dream. All traces of blemishes, marks and last night's martinis disappear with a little effort! Ladies, please don't hate this product because YOU don't know how to apply this properly. Learn the ways of SC and your face will never be the same! DO use a tiny techlon concealer brush to apply to marks. Do warm up the product with hair dryer first this makes the product softer, therefore easier to apply.DO NOT blow on this to warm up, it's unsanitary(zits).Finally, remember ladies, patience is a virtue;)

I bought this on a whim and am ecstatic I did! Okay,so I have a bizzilion e/s in mid brown, but this beauty is sooo user friendly. When it's one of those low maintenence days, swipe this shadow on, little mascara and gloss, I am good to go. I would definitely purchase again!!

Lip Gloss -Yves Saint Laurent - Touche Brillance Spakling Touch
absolom 8/21/2006 2:49:00 PM
Let me begin on a high note. The packaging is pretty and utilitarian. It is very portable and doesn't leak. The taste, smell and the look of the gloss is, well, okay! The longevity of gloss is okay, a bit too thin and the tex- ture too gritty. Now girls, would you pay 40$ cdn for this above described product? Not moi, merci!

Eyes -Lise Watier - Métamorfix
absolom 8/21/2006 2:27:00 PM
What an ingenious product! This tiny bottle of liquid will morph any powder shadow into liner. I love the ceativity inspired by this product, and one is only limited by the collection of eye shadow in one's kit! Works especially well with pigments(MAC),once applied and set,is waterproof and long lasting. Unless there is another like metamophix that is better, I will continue to purchase.
