Eyeliner -Victoria's Secret - Very Sexy eye liner - Exotic Plum
rated 2 of 5

I have this in plum and in the brown. The plum is more like a blue-grey, makes me look like i got punched in the eyes. The brown looks very natural with my brown eyes, however the lasting power on both these pencils are minimal. It doesn;t really smear, but rather just fades away. Several applications are needed to last the day. Not waterproof, very smooth formula, no tug on application.

Lotions/ Creams -Clarins - High Definition Body Lift

I didn't use this long enough to see if it get rids of cellulite. This gel lotion felt more like face wash with beads and it had a cooling sensation like Bengay or Hot & Icy sports cream. The smell was too minty and strange for me. I had to wash my hands after application cause it left my hands a lil sticky.

I had raccoon eyes within an hr. even after priming with UDPP and e/s. I have watery eyes and wear contacts. This was not used on my waterline. Pro: soft, creamy, true black, great for smudgy look Cons: Not waterproof, too soft to draw a fine line

I have watery eyes and wear contacts. This product gave me raccoon eyes within 3 hrs. It was not on my waterline. Eyes were primed with UDPP and e/s...still the product did not last. Benefit's eyeliner & UD 24/7 was a tad bit better than this 2face. Pro: creamy, smooth, very black, great smudger. Con: Was not waterproof

Not waterproof. I wear contacts and this liner would not last 1 hr after its application. It hold fine on my upper lids but it's the bottom that i have trouble with. Raccoon eyes is not the look i was aiming for. I tried primer (UDPP) and even set the line with powder and still no luck. So far UD 24/7 is slightly better than this

Texture and everything was great except that it was not waterproof. I wear contacts and this liner would not last 30 mins after its application. It holds fine on my upper lids but it's the bottom that i have trouble with. Raccoon eyes is not the look i was aiming for. I tried primer (UDPP) and even set the line with powder and still no luck. So far UD 24/7 is slightly better than this

Eyeliner -Make Up For Ever - Aqua Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in Mat Black 0L
rated 1 of 5

Not waterproof! Had raccoon eyes within 30 mins. Whether it was on my waterline or not, it still did not have any staying power at all. I wear contacts and have watery eyes at times. I tried setting it with powder and used lid primer (UDPP), yet it still did not have any lasting ability. The eye liner at the bottom outer corner of my eye where I usually have tears, had completely disappeared! Will not repurchase!

Eye Primer -Too Faced - Shadow Insurance, Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer
rated 3 of 5
catherine112 4/25/2012 6:57:00 PM

I still prefer UDPP over this Too Face primer. But I do prefer the Too Face over the Smashbox primer. I'm a NC20 with oily lids and this Too Face primer is a little too thick/dry for my liking. It doesn't blend as easily as the UDPP. The worst part is the Too Face fragrance (I'm the type of girl who enjoys fragrance-free products)

I love the texture and colour output, but I just don't know how to use this cream product. I'll stick with powders instead.

I tried this at Sephora and I couldn't stand the fragrance. I'm more of a fragrance-free type of gal.

Treatments (Eye) -Shiseido - Benefiance Concentrated Anti-wrinkle Eye Cream
rated 1 of 5
catherine112 12/5/2010 4:25:00 AM

It's a extremely thick cream. My skin did not absorb the product, very sticky feeling. Face is very shiny after application. I would only recommend applying this product at night. I had not breakouts, just simply the icky sticky feeling on my face. I should have asked for a sample instead of going on a shopping spree.

The bristles are prickly, not soft whatsoever. My ecotools brushes are much softer. This smashbox brush is also made in china.

Toners -Almay - Toner 2 for Oily Skin with Meadowsweet
rated 3 of 5
catherine112 9/21/2009 3:35:00 PM

product is great, not too drying but not for everyday use unless you're super oily. After a month of use the solution turned from clear to cloudy. Is it due to bacteria growth or the solution settling in, idk. other than that it's a great toner.
