Lipstick -MAC - Milan Mode
amessss 1/18/2011 12:10:00 AM
This is my new favorite pink lip color! It's beautiful! I love that it can be worn sheer for a kind of a stained look, or built up to a fun but not too intense pop of color. The multicolored sparkle in the lipstick is lovely, and not too overpowering. I love to wear this is Nymphette in the center for a bit of gold shimmer. I will definitely buy this again when I need to.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Burmese Beauty Quad
amessss 1/6/2011 12:14:00 PM
I love this quad!! I have used it pretty much everyday since I bought it, which was in late October. The colors are super blendable and great for everyday looks Prized: This is very close to my skintone, but does give a slight sheen when applied. Skintone 2: This is the best gold shadow ever! It's a beautiful neutral gold, which is great, considering on my skintone yellow and bronze golds look awkward on me, and anything to green washes me out. Burmese Beauty: This is my favorite eyeshadow of all time! I love that you can use it lightly for a warm brown color, or use it heavier to show off that gorgeous teal duochrome. Showstopper: This is a really nice dark brown, that almost look plummy, which looks great with the gold color. My favorite way to use this quad is use Burmese Beauty all over the lid, blend out the BB color with a soft brown in the crease, Skintone 2 in the inner corner and into the crease, Showstopper in the outer corner, and Prized on the highlight.

Eye Shadow -Physicians Formula - Matte Collection Quad Eye Shadow in Canyon Classic
amessss 1/5/2011 3:38:00 AM
This is one of my favorite eye shadow quads of ALL TIME! Great for neutral looks, but also fantastic for using for blending. It comes with a light neutral beige, a warm light brown, a darker cool brown, and then a dark almost grayish brown. I use the warm and cool brown colors everyday to blend whatever shade I'm using for that day into my highlight color.

Lipstick -MAC - Cremesheen - Creme d'Nude
amessss 1/5/2011 3:30:00 AM
This is the nude lipstick of my dreams. It's nice and opaque, but not in a "concealer-lips" kind of way. It gives my lips a nude look without making them look dead. My favorite way to wear this is with Nymphette just in the center for a pinky-gold sheen. BEAUTIFUL! I will repurchase this over and over.

Lipstick -MAC - Pink 4 Friday by Nicki Minaj LE
amessss 1/5/2011 3:27:00 AM
I bought this on a whim, and I'm definitely starting to regret it. It's SO unwearable! I have very fair skin (NW15-20ish) and I can't figure out a way to wear this. I'll keep playing with it to see if I can find a way to make it look good on me, but at this point it's a bit of a fail. I think if they had made this as like a sheerer formula, like a Cremesheen or a Lustre, it'd be SO much better, but this just brings out every crack you have in your lips and it's just too in your face to look good.

Concealers -NYX - Full Coverage Concealer Jar

I love the nice creamy consistency in these. They definitely cover blemishes really well. I have the lightest shade as well as the green corrector for redness, and I really think they work really well. I don't use these under my eyes, however, because it does have a tendency to cake up in that area.

Liquid -Revlon - PhotoReady Makeup

I like it, but I don't love it. I do love the packaging, but I don't like that it has shimmer in it, and it doesn't cover as well as I'd like. I'll continue to use it, but I wont be repurchasing it.

Bronzers -NARS - Orgasm-Laguna Blush-Bronzer Duo
amessss 1/5/2011 3:15:00 AM
Definitely a holy grail item for me! I rarely ever use any other kind of blush or bronzer. The only complaint I have is that it is a pricier product, but I believe it's worth it, and I'll probably repurchase over and over.

Eyes -NYX - jumbo eye shadow pencil-black bean
amessss 1/5/2011 3:11:00 AM
I use this everyday, but only after I melted it into a pot form. It's so much more versatile that way. I use it for my cream liner, as well as a base for shadows.
