Fragrances -Kiehls - Vanilla Essence 
catethirsty 8/22/2006 9:22:00 PM
Imagine Aqualina pink sugar mixed with vomit, this oil is foul in more ways than one and so over powering people move away from you on the subway. My mom refused to sit next to me untill I washed it off myself. When I first applied this oil, my skin which IS NOT SENSITIVE started to burn and turned my entire neck red, very attractive. I really, really wanted to like this, I love vanilla scents and the Kiehls essence it is cheap and lasts forever. Unfortunately if you are both allergic to the oil and find the smell repulsing its long last quality is not a selling point. I love Kiehls musk EDT and oil, so I thought I would give this one a go, I like the smell of my B.O more than this.

Lip Gloss -Bonne Bell - Dr. Pepper lipsmackers

Benefit lip balm be damned!!!!!!!!! Dr.Pepper lip smacker is sooo much better, dirt cheap, mosturizing and it is impossible to O.D on Bonne Bell lip smacker which is definately possible with Benefit lip balm, it is the exact same color only the Bonne Bell is dirt cheap instead of 20 dollars for a tiny jar and tastes like Dr.Pepper definately worth buying, a staple in my makeup box. It also looks great mixed with different lipsticks and glosses a must and definate must.

Lipstick -Shiseido - Sheer Gloss Lipstick in Berry Sheer
catethirsty 8/20/2006 7:00:00 PM
This lipstick is a glorious rich berry shade. The sheer shade is great, one coat creates a rather flushed just in from the snow, flushed berry lip, several coats creates a rich berry lip worthy of kissing Humphery Bogart or Cary Grant. The only problem with this lipstick is that with many coats it tends to bleed alittle so you need to use lip liner with it. I really like to combine this lipstick with bonnebell's Dr.Pepper chapstick the result is stunning.

Lipstick -LORAC - Sheer Lipstick- Nude

Oh Lorac sheer lipstick in Nude, how I do love you. This lipstick is the perfect nude lipstick, it is my HG nude lipstick. It wears well, does not dry out my lips and looks so good I want to makeout with myself. I am very pale but I tan easily, this lipstick looks good if I am my pasty self or tan, it also works with brown, red and blond hair ( I dye my hair a lot). I really want to try the other sheers having loved this one so much.

Liquid -Sue Devitt - 70% Triple Seaweed Gel Foundation
catethirsty 8/7/2006 12:27:00 AM
This foundation is boring, honeslty I was more excited about caking on revlon in highschool (at least that stayed on my face for more then 3 hours). This foundation does not cover up redness nor does it last which begs the question what is the point of this product? On the plus side it does feel really good on my skin but that really is not the point of foundation just a perk. I guess I would be more annoyed had I not scored Sue Devitt 70% sea weed foundation in Tanami from my sister who used it once and did not like it.

Moisturizers -Dr. Hauschka - Rose Day Cream

In the time I have spent trying to remedy my acne prone skin I could have mastered russian, or at least double majored, but I digress. I am on a number of acne products duac, retin-A micro and rosula cleanser ( which is also amazing) sans face creme the result is rather serpentine. Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Creme is the only face creme I have ever used that combats the hideous shedding effects of acne medicine while not causing further breakouts. The creme makes my pale skin glowly and less red which as someone with red hair is awesome. I personally love the scent I think it is very clean and airy; but I can understand if you don't like the smell of roses this may not be your thing. I would not recomend this creme to someone that does not like thick face cremes, also it takes about 10 minutes to totally sink in ( though I often ignore that and make with the smashbox primer which makes my face matte anyway). The instructions say not to use at night as they believe that skin should "be left to perform metabolic functions" but I put it on anyway and the result is amazing. I love love love this product, I travel a lot between coasts and this is the only product I really freak out about not bringing.
