Blush -Cover Girl - Cheekers Blush in Rose Silk
carlyhayward 8/29/2012 8:32:00 AM
I find there are alot of mixed reviews regarding this blush and imho I don't know why!?! I have been using this blush almost daily since discovering it at the age of 17 and in the midst of a bronzer-obsession (hey it was 2005, Paris Hilton was at her peak). It is such a beautiful pinky-coral colour and just perfect for a nice flush. I agree with many other MUA'ers that it is hard to overdo it with this blush, so it is quite forgiving. Packaging isn't the best as it's a small strip of blush with a useless brush but toss away the brush, grab ol' trusty MAC 109 and apply away bc this blush is perfect otherwise! (Also I can't add much to the Orgasm dupe debate as I have never used Orgasm in the powder version only cream and c'mon now that's not comparable y'all!)

Polishes -OPI - Y'all Come Back Ya Hear?

LOVE this colour! I only gave 4/5 lippies because it is so sheer i have to use 3-4 coats to get it close to the bottle colour. It is a beautiful bright matte orange that looks fantastic on both fingers and toes! Will definitely re-purchase.

Polishes -Essie - trophy wife

I just recently bought this polish and tried it right away! I was so intrigued by the beautiful color in the bottle (a deep metallic turquoise/aqua) and by the name, yes I'm guilty :s As with all Essie polishes it stayed on well for the first 2-3 days then started to slowly chip but nothing out of the ordinary. I got a lot of compliments on this colour! Some even by strangers! I think for my skin tone (NC20ish except olive-y) it looked really nice, especially on my toes! I will most likely re-purchase when it runs out.

I love this perfume! As past reviewers have said I get SO many compliments whenever I wear it. The scent is so intoxicating and very strong. I only need just one spritz and I'm good to go all day. This is a definite staple in my perfume cabinet.

Treatments -Moroccanoil - Morrocan Oil Treatment
carlyhayward 5/4/2011 11:29:00 AM
I've been using Morrocan oil now for just over a year and have to say I will continue to re-purchase and re-purchase this product as it runs out. I have long, thick, coarse, wavy hair that needed something to smooth it out. I tried BioSilk and Argan Oil and both no matter how little I used made my hair looked so greasy! With Morrocan Oil if you put in too much you will notice that it will make your hair look greasy, I use a dime size portion everytime I get out of the shower into my wet hair. I've found using it while your hair is damp or wet gives better results. After drying taking a couple drops and smoothin them over your hair will fix any little frizzies that got away. I have no quarrels with the price as, yes it is expensive, but it lasts for so long! I only just bought my 2nd bottle in over a year! Also I have switched to the Light version as I have blonde hair, which i would recommend to anyone with lighter hair. All together, I love this product!! :)

Mascara -BeneFit Cosmetics - BADgal Lash

I adore thie product. I've been using it religiously for about 1.5 years now and will never buy any other mascara brand again. I am not sure how so many people find this to be smudgy because I put it on in the morning at 6;30am and by 9:00pm it is still going strong with no smears or running whatsoever. The wand is great as it is nice and bushy in the middle but has smaller ends so you are still able to reach all of your little lashes too. It gives volume, length and great colour to lashes.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Pigment in Naked
carlyhayward 4/26/2011 4:56:00 PM
I LOVE this pigment!!! I got it a couple Xmas's ago in a sample pack and used that little vial up in about a year. As soon as it was done I HAD to go out and purchase another (which I was able to buy just before they made the jars smaller) and have kept the original small vial to help with transporting it. I mix this pigment with universal mix and wear them everyday! I will continue to buy this product over and over again!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Universal Mix Pigment
carlyhayward 4/26/2011 4:38:00 PM
I bought this pigment around a year ago and have to say I LOVE it!! I use it every single day and blend it with the Naked pigment for a very natural and subtly shimmering look. People comment all the time on the bright and natural shade these two blend to make together. I would suggest to anyone claiming that there is not enough pigment in the Universal Mix to blend with Naked (or another nude loose powder shadow) and you will see how not only does it make the colour a bit more natural but it also makes the shimmer really pop. It will also last all (and I mean ALL) day.
