Mascara -Jordana - Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara
arvejita 3/25/2012 9:41:00 PM
I have to add my glowing review for this product... the bristles on the brush look short, but with this mascara formula they go a long way to adding length and volume. Like other reviewers have said, one coat with couple of swipes is enough for a dramatic, longer lash. Two coats and these are over-the-top falsie-looking lashes. Amazing. Highly recommended.

Eye Shadow -Wet 'n' Wild - ColorIcon Palette in Lust [DISCONTINUED]
arvejita 3/16/2010 10:27:00 PM
Simply fantastic. Every colour is so pigmented, and you don't need much on your brush at all. Soft, blendable and buildable, and so convenient and inexpensive. I have three of the four palettes (no blues as I'd never wear them) and love them all. Can't wait to find the trios next.

Eye Primer -Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Sin 
arvejita 2/4/2010 10:09:00 AM
It's too bad - I use and love the orignal UDPP, but somehow this one just isn't working for me. It's not the colour - I actually really like it! And the bent wand does make a difference for getting product out. It's just that unlike the original, I find Sin doesn't hold my shadow as well, and actually seems to smudge and smear what I put on top of it. Shame :(

Stick -L.A. Colors - Mystic foundation/concealer stick

I can't believe how well this works as a concealer - I use it for evening out my ruddy cheeks too. Super heavy, creamy stuff that I'd never recommmend using as a foundation, but works great for hiding/evening out.

Eyeliner -Prestige - Total Intensity Eyeliner Deepest Black
arvejita 2/4/2010 10:03:00 AM
:/ I wanted to love this - it is by far the darkest, blackest pencil, and it does glide on super smooth. Sadly, even with UDPP and over shadow, it still smudges like crazy on me. I do have oily lids, but with UDPP I can manage to have most things stay put. Not this.

Mascara -Prestige - My Biggest Lashes
arvejita 12/11/2009 5:59:00 PM
Current HG mascara. Thick and dryish rather than watery formula. I find that with one or two coats I get good coverage and lift. The very black is exactly that, not grayish at all. Tends to get clumpy but easy to seperate. I much prefer these old style spoolies vs. the newer rubber nubs... those are great for seperating but no good for volume, which is what I need.

Lip Treatments -Soap and Glory - Sexy Motherpucker Lip Gloss
arvejita 12/11/2009 5:56:00 PM
It really does vibrate or hum rather than sting! What a weird feeling. Anyway, I find this gloss sticky, and it does plump up my lips a bit (much better than Lip Venom did). I like the way it feels and the way it looks, and it's a lot more product for cheaper than what you'd pay for venom. Try this instead.

Makeup Brushes -Quo - bent eye liner brush
arvejita 9/7/2009 4:32:00 PM
Great angled brush for lining. Works well with creams, gels and powders. The angle of this brush does seem to make it easier to line, though I never really had any trouble with an un-angled brush. Def. worth getting especially if you don't already have a liner brush.

Eye Primer -Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Original (UDPP)
arvejita 6/25/2009 11:58:00 AM
I don't know how I lived without this before. Honestly worth the price. I find I get away with 3 or 4 light dabs of this stuff; in other words, try less before you decide to use more, and it will last longer. My tube has lasted 6 months so far with no end in sight. I have super oily eyelids and used to lose my shadow into ugly oily creases within a few hours. Now it stays til the end of the day. My only complaints are the price (but it is worth it), the packaging and it's difficult to use cream/wet eyeshadows. Still worth it imo.

Primer/ Corrector -Unlisted Brand - Monistat - Chafing Relief Powder-Gel 
arvejita 12/10/2008 7:25:00 AM
So, like so many others I tried this as a facial primer. I've decided this is probably good for a once-in-a-while application rather than every day. It does make my makeup apply smoother, and does give my face a supersoft feeling. I did notice though that after using this for about a week my nose started to get flaky and dry and I think it was from using this. This did seem to help with keeping my nose less shiny though.

Concealers -Maybelline - Instant Age Rewind Concealer [DISCONTINUED]
arvejita 12/10/2008 7:22:00 AM
Found this in the Dollar Tree and snagged a bunch. The colour on my tube is "yellow" and it's perfect for covering any flared up pimples plus my under eye area. Doesn't smudge off or crease and covers perfectly for me. Would recommend picking one up if you happen across them.

Eye Shadow -L'Oreal - HiP Concentrated Duo - Euphoric
arvejita 12/10/2008 7:19:00 AM
For the life of me, I cannot get this shadow to work. Staying power is nil even when applied with a base or wet, and the colour and consistency (especially of the bright fuschia colour) is chalky. The darker plum colour is somewhat shimmery, but comes off more as a bruise than a pretty plum. Would not repurchase.
