Cleansers -Jergens - All-Purpose Face Cream
amazin90 11/16/2012 5:03:00 PM
This is my Holy Grail winter skin savior. It has become cold in the Mid-West and my skin is increasingly drier. I actually got this on a whim because Wal-Mart was out of Ponds Dry Skin Cream. I'm glad because this works so much better for me. I put this on my cleaned and toned skin as an overnight moisturizer and I wake up with baby soft skin!!! No night moisturizer has been able to accomplish this for me and this costs less than $4.00......win for me!!!

Crème -Fashion Fair - True Finish Refining Mineral Foundation 
amazin90 10/19/2012 5:05:00 PM
I have been wearing this foundation all week! I love this. I feel this will bring Fashion Fair back into the game. This is a lightweight liquid with a slight pearlescence. It gives the skin a nice glow without looking oily. The coverage is light, but can be built up a bit to medium. It looks very natural on the skin. It comes in 3 different undertones and 18 shades. My current shade is Gracious Golden which is described as medium tan with yellow undertones. I'm normally NC45/44 with Mac, however I'm somewhat darker because I got a lot of sun and I will need a lighter color. I'm going to try Soulful Tan which is a light tan with yellow undertones. I'm looking forward to trying some more of the reformulations.

Lipstick -MAC - Cremesheen - Shy Girl
amazin90 1/28/2012 10:25:00 PM
This has to be by far the worst MAC lipstick I've ever purchased. It is very drying for a cremesheen and it applies very patchy. I have to put a gloss on top to make it look decent, then it slide around the lips and becomes uneven. This is a very difficult lipstick to work with. I wonder if I got a "bad one". This is going back to MAC.

Liquid -Revlon - PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse Makeup
amazin90 1/8/2012 6:10:00 PM
I really wanted to try this product, so I searched for the product in the color Caramel. I really like this foundation!! I tried the regular PhotoReady, but it was to sparkly and very drying. This doesn't have the same sparkle, but it has a slight shimmer. It gives the face a glow, because the foundation dries to a natural matte finish. My skin is normal to dry, so I have to make sure my skin is very moisturized and exfoliated because it does cling to dry patches. I pump a small amount about the size of a quarter on the back of my hand. I apply the foundation with a damped Sonia Kashuk flat top brush. Then, I take a damped Sonia Kashuk beauty blender sponge and blend. This application method gives me light to medium coverage. It dries to natual matte finish and I don't use any powder on top. It lasts all day for me as well. I wore this foundation every day for a week, and I am impressed. I will definately repurchase!!!

Liquid -Maybelline - Super Stay Makeup
amazin90 6/20/2011 3:33:00 PM
OK, so I had been wanting to try this and I found a bottle on clearance at my local Target for $2.58. I couldn't beat the price, so here was my chance. I got the color Caramel, but I have been holding on to it because this matches me better in the summer when I have gotten a tan. I applied a small amount with a dampened sponge, so that the coverage would be sheered out. I'm not oliy so oil control was not a problem for me. I put it on about 6 am, and at about 2:30 pm I looked in the mirror and I am a dark, orange, and muddy looking! I can't wait to get home and wash this off. Good thing I got it on clearance!! I guess I just can't wear Maybelline foundation.

Mascara -Ruby Kisses - Mascara in Navy Blue

This is the best blue mascara for $1.99 on the planet! No smudges, flakes, smears or irritation after 10 hours of wear! Will certainly buy more.

Loose Powders -Ruby Kisses - HD Setting Powder
amazin90 6/6/2011 1:56:00 PM
I really like this powder. I have been trying products from this line at my local beauty supply, because I can't resist pretty things even if I don't need them. LOL I have this powder in shade 02 banana. It is very yellow in the container just like the Ben Nye banana powder. It gives a nice warmness to the skin. I bought this because I already have the MUFE HD powder, which is fine. But I like the warmth of the yellow powder. The container actually has a feature where the sifter turns to lock the powder, so there is no spillage. This is great and it only cost $5.99. I will definately purchase this again.

Liquid -Rimmel - Match Perfection
amazin90 5/26/2011 1:07:00 PM
I really like this foundation. I have been wearing it for a few days on top of the Rimmel face primer and I like the combination. My skin is normal to dry and this doesn't dry my face and it stays put all day. I think the oily ladies would certainly need an oil control primer with this. The color range is impressive for drug store foundation. This would be great if we had a pump on the bottle in the states. I orginally bought this in Warm Caramel #530, but I thought it looked a little dark and somewhat red on my skin. Since they were on sale, I went and bought the next lighter shade which is Natural Caramel #520 and the match is perfect. I am NC44/45/C7 in Mac. HTH

Liquid -Iman - Luxury Radiance Liquid Makeup
amazin90 12/10/2010 3:34:00 PM
I REALLY like this foundation. I have been using it for a while, because I wanted to give it a good test before reviewing. It wears really well and I would say the coverage is sheer to medium. It can be built up for medium, but isn't full coverage at all. It would look cakey at full coverage. A little goes a long way with this. It comes out of the tube as a mousse, so it is easy to squeeze too much out. All you need is a pea sized amount. I think this is best suited for normal to slightly dry skin, oily ladies may have a problem with this. My color is Clay 2 and I am NC 44/45 in MAC. The Iman website recommends Clay 3 for me, but that has a reddish undertone and I am more yellow....HTH

Lip Gloss -NYX - Mega shine- Copper Penny
amazin90 11/9/2010 2:29:00 PM
I really like NYX glosses. The name of this is very misleading. It looks nothing like copper or a penny, but it is very cute! It is a pink with golden tones to it. Looks very nice and is very opaque on the lips, almost like a liquid lipstick.

Palettes -Kat Von D - Ludwig Palette
amazin90 9/21/2010 12:55:00 PM
I LOVE this!! The shadows lean more towards the warm side of the color spectrum and look awesome on brown eyes. I am wearing a combinations of the greens and my eyes really POP! Kat's palettes are on sale at Sephora for $24.00 until 9/30, so if you can get one please do. That is a great price for 8 quality eyeshadows. I am definately going to try another one. This is my first venture into Kat's line and I am glad I did.

Powders -Smashbox - Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder
amazin90 9/5/2010 2:04:00 AM
I like the idea of this powder, and I love the grinder. That's it for the good stuff. The undertone of this powder is wrong. I have the complexion perfection kit in dark and this powder was included in dark. I am NC45 in MAC right now and this powder makes me look ashy. It is described as having a neutral undertone and I have very warm skin, so this just doesn't work for me. No one wants the dreaded ashy face!!!

Palettes -Too Faced - Naked Eye Kit
amazin90 9/3/2010 12:43:00 PM
This is called the NAKED eye kit for a reason. I don't understand people giving bad reviews for a product that does what it says. This palette is not going to give bold eye looks, even though you actually could do that with this. I like this pallette very much. I use it during the week for work when I want to look soft and give my eyes minimal emphasis. The colors, although soft do show up very well on my skin. I am currently NC45 due to my summer tan and it still works. The fact that I use eyeshadow primer helps it stay all day. I have all the Too Faced eye palettes.....Natural Eye, Smoky Eye, and Naked Eye. I LOVE them all!

Blush -NARS - Taj Mahal
amazin90 9/2/2010 12:00:00 PM
I thought I reviewed this already. I really love this blush!!! It gives the skin such a beautiful glow that looks lit from within, but you must use a light hand. This blush is super pigmented as all NARS blushes are. Even with the rubberized case, I have managed to break mine. So be careful...but I think I dropped it like 15 times before it actually broke!....LOL
