Moisturizers -Unlisted Brand - Merlot - Face Cream grape seed spf 15
rated 4 of 5
bbb101 1/23/2010 7:15:00 PM

i got this in a trial size from a friend. we do not have this in canada and was not able to buy this online. so when my friend went to the states she brought back 2 for herself and gave me a sample size back (which is 15ml) so it's a good amount. anyway.... its purple! my favorite color... and it smells amazing!!! it's nice and creamy but never greasy .. i like that it comes with spf 15 coz i'm not very good with applying sunscreen on my face everyday.. i know i should.. but i'm just never very good with remembering to apply it. it didn't cause any break outs and i like to use in the morning under makeup.. at night i'm still using Egyptian magic. and i still love that.. i'm on my second tub of it.

Eyeliner -Wet 'n' Wild - Mega Eyes Creme Eyeliner - Black
rated 4 of 5
bbb101 1/23/2010 7:09:00 PM

i normally dont' buy anything from wet n wild because i've thought of wet n wild as a brand for tweens who are just starting out with makeup and can't afford things that are of better quality and higher price.. but boy am i glad that i gave this a try. really good creme liner for my waterline. nothing stays on my waterline.... and i've tried a lot of things... i've used urban decay's 24/7 liner in zero, i've tried revlon eyeliners, mac fluidline, bobbi brown's gel liner, cliniques cream liner, almays and a bunch of other drugstore eyeliners and nothing worked..... i got this eyeliner as a gift from my friend. she had to order this online as she wasn't able to find it anywhere here where we live in Canada. i'm so glad that you gave me this because i have not found anything that even comes close to how long this stays on my waterline. the liner itself come in a little plastic jar that looks like a UFO and an angle brush that i threw away the second i got it because it was just too thick and prickly. what i have found to be the best way to apply this eyeliner is by using an old pencil eyeliner that i no longer use and dip it into the cream liner and then apply it directly only my waterline. it stays for hours and hours and hours!!! i would definetly by this again and probably in the eggplant colour as well. i hear that the colour isn't as deep as the black... and may i add.. the black is really really really black. WAY blacker than the fluidline that i have from mac.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous Naturale
rated 3 of 5
bbb101 5/3/2009 12:56:00 AM

i love this mascara!!! although it didn't give the volunm to my lashes, it went on nicely and it continued to go on nicely until the entire tube was used up. there is NO clumping at all thanks to the wand. clumping is always an issue with me and mascaras. this is a great mascara and would definetely buy over and over again. EDIT: don't love it all that much anymore.. i only like it when it starts to dry out and then the consistency is better. i went back to my love lashblast... it's still the best mascara for me

Eye Primer -Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Original (UDPP)
rated 5 of 5
bbb101 5/3/2009 12:53:00 AM

i loved this product but didn't like the packaging. the packaging is cute and all but i'm dreading the day where i would need to cut up the entire thing just to get all of the product out of. i have tried different primers before and nothing is as good as UDPP. i have recently tried paint pots from mac hoping that they would do just as well as UDPP but i was wrong. UDPP is the best. it's nice UDPP goes on a smoothy and doesn't have any color to it so it can basically be used under every single eyeshadow color. love it!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Paint Pot in Moss Scape
rated 4 of 5
bbb101 5/3/2009 12:51:00 AM

This is my first paintpot from MAC and I was hoping that paintpops would replace my need for UDPP. i was wrong. although it didnt' crease for 10 hours of so, the colour of my eyeshadow did not stay strong and vibrant the entire time. i like the fact that paint pots come in all colours and you can change the colour depending on what colour eye shadows you are wearing. i didn't like that it stop creasing. creasing is one of my big issues with any kind or cream eyeshadow. i am surprised that this didn't crease right away on me. usually cream shadows crease almost immediately

Misc Beauty Tools -beautyblender - the sponge
rated 5 of 5
bbb101 3/22/2009 3:48:00 AM

this beautyblender is great!!! it works so well!! i totally don't use my brushes any more. the pink egg is soooo cute and sooo pink. although i never really used sponges in the past, this pink egg is very good and does apply an airbrushed look to your face in less than 3 mins!!! i was using the mac 187 but this was so much quicker to use and looked so flawless. one bad thing about the sponge is that it does use up a little more foundation than the 187 brush i still way prefer to use the beautyblender over a brush. it's actually a lot of fun too!! just bounce bounce and bounce and your foundation is done! you can also use the pointed end for concealer and to reach hard to reach places on your face. the rounder bottom is used for foundation as well as for blush. this is really the only thing you need in order to complete the perfect application everytime!! although it is recommended that you change the beautyblender every 3-6 months, i personally think that you can use it for much much longer, if you use the cleanser to make sure it's clean after every use. i will definitely re-purchase! i want to buy it in bulk!!!

Skincare - Body -Unlisted Brand - Egyptian Magic Healing Cream
rated 5 of 5
bbb101 2/12/2009 1:14:00 AM

this product is great!!! i have some acne scars as well as uneven skintone in my cheeks and using this at night right before bed has made such a huge difference. i've noticed that my acne scars have lightened a bit already and it's only my 3rd day. i'm hooked. i've scooped out some and given it to my brother who has acne and he said he noticed his acne going down in just one day!! i gave some to my mom who has extremely dry skin who also said that this product made her skin glow and is super moisturizing. i've also scooped some out to give to friends who have eczema as well!! i LOOOVEEE this product and wanna buy like 5 more just in case they stop selling it here in canada! i probably will never run out tho because like others have said, it is like a balm and it's very thick and you only need very very little to cover your entire face. i use about the amount of 1/4 of a penny or dine per night and that enough to cover my entire face and have extra to do my cuticles and the ends of hair! i love it, love it, love it. love it!!!

Palettes -Unlisted Brand - BH Cosmetics - 120 Color Palette 1st Edition
rated 3 of 5
bbb101 1/3/2009 11:34:00 PM

the product had a smell to it and it is really chalky. i'm starting to wonder if it is chalk. but there is a lot of color selection....actually 120 to be exact. so great as a starter palette so you can try all these fun colors without having to purchase full sizes of them and only using them a couple of times.
