Eye Shadow -MAC - Paint Pot in Indianwood
conniehe 3/10/2013 3:59:00 PM
A little side note before rating this.. Mac is super expensive where i live.. lipsticks are $30 dollars and paint pots $34 so before buying something i think about it at least 10 times!! I loved indianwood from the moment i swatched it in the store. At first i wanted rubenesque but the color pay off of indianwood convinced me more. I love this as a cream eyeshadow, its very easy to use (no brushes needes) and very every day ( not sure for school or places like that) I love it!! the few cons are the following: - for my oily lids, i cant use this without a primer - i wish the color was a little more vibrant, it tends to be more on the opaque side once you put it on. I would love to purcharse more colors!! :)

With this i ended up making my mind about NOT buying every single thing everybody is raving about! Not because most people likes it, you will! This bottle cost me $22 dollars.. bloody expensive!! (this is due to where i live.. far far and beyond) I have teenage skin.. oily with dry patches and very acne prone. This was supposed to be a " HG " product.. it wasnt. (my experience) - takes off very little of your eyemakeup.. no way with waterproof mascara - does remove the makeup from your face but for me at least it required cleanser and about 2 cotton pads with the product.. thats a lot. I wanted an after party kind off remover.. easy and fast - even using this after cleanser and even as a toner.. no visible results.. same old acne prone skin. - It did leave my face very soft - It felt lightweight and very refreshing Overall, i would buy it again if it wasnt so expensive.. i would probably use it as a toner to make sure after all my skincare routine there wasnt a single drop of foundation. * I do think this may do wonders on normal skin with very few imperfections*

Eye Primer -Too Faced - Shadow Insurance, Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer
conniehe 3/10/2013 3:39:00 PM
I was so scared of buying this product!! Given the fact that where i live there is no sephora or qvc or walgreens or ulta or pretty much anything.. too faced was one of the few brands they sold near me . I would of prefer to buy the UD primer potion but since i needed a primer ASAP i could afford to wait to order it online. So i went for the 2nd most hyped about product. ( I have very very VERY oily lids that make powder and cream eyeshadows go away in 3 hours.. even color tattos, paintpots and stuff like that) I got to say that im very pleased with this!! It has a more watery consistency that a cream eyeshadow so with a tiny amount you blend it all over your lid. PROS - Nice tube that wont break - Makes my eyeshadow last for an estimate 8 hours - you dont need much product CONS - kinda expensive - after 4 to 5 uses you will need to shake it up a little bit before applying or you will end up with liquid stuff all over your lid - watery consistency, if it were more dry it would help oily lids to grab the eyeshadow for longer amount of time. I would buy it again because it WORKS and have tried so many things before finding one that actually works.

Blush -NYX - Rouge Cream Blush - Hot Pink

I have got this product for several months but I havent used it very much.. Going to the facts: - Inexpensive - Pigmented - Wet texture My experience given the fact i have combination skin and acne: - Doesnt last very much on my cheeks - color too strong, hard to blend without moving your foundation - accentuates my pores and pimples. - dont like the wet texture because it makes it easier to way away. Wouldnt buy it again but i would considere buy a softer shade for winter when my skin is less oily.

Skincare - Face -MAC - Fix+

ITS AS SIMPLE AS THIS: - NOT a setting a spray. Your makeup doesnt last longer with this - Helps your makeup looking more natural, apply it if you ended up looking a little cakey. - Its very refreshing, it hidrates your skin. Would not repurchase, doesnt do as it claims, expensive for what really is.

Lipstick -Revlon - Revlon Colorburst in Peach
conniehe 11/10/2012 11:50:00 PM
Nice lipstick with decent longevity. Like the color but didnt fit me perfectly (it changes with every person). Packaging is bulletproof, I would repurchase it but in different color. Little warning: it can be a little dry on the lips.. I have dry lips so i cant apply this directly, i need lipbalm and a lip brush.

mmm... I tried... I remember i tried Morrocanoil a few years ago when it was popular yet and honestly i did not notice too much of a difference. Now a days i have very damaged hair so i was looking for a treatment. Since there are plenty reviews on this and the price is affordable , I decided to give it a try. It does leave your hair smoother BUT the effect goes away pretty fast and there are not noticeable results. I tried it on wet hair and on dry hair and no results :(

Why wouldnt i repurchase this? I have combo skin, this is a light coverage and doesnt hold my oils. However, its great for winter time when you want to look very natural and dont have the sun to ruin your foundation. I would repurchase this if it was more affordable.

GREAT product. Amazing with foundation, doesnt lose hair, good price. ONLY CONS: I dont know how, but the handle separated from the brush... i had to fix it with glue or something like that. But for the price, its amazing and it takes me like 2 min to blend the foundation into the face giving such a natural look.

Blush -Tarte - Amazonian Clay Long-Wear Blush in Tipsy
conniehe 10/28/2012 5:55:00 PM
So... I think this product is a little overhyped.. First of all, I purchased this after hearing tons of reviews (tons!) and after reading everywhere that this was a peachy/coral color but more on the peachy side.. its NOT. This has like no peach to it, so when it finally arrived i was VERY DISAPPOINTED. Its dead on coral, kind of bright. After that first impression, i decided to use it anyway. The color really grew up on me , i love love love how the coral looks on me BUT i got to say... there is NO FREAKING WAY this lasts 12 hours.. i mean NO. i would give it about 6 hours, 8 if you have dry skin. Overall, i use this blush everyday and i love the color and the packanging and the brand :) but I would not repucharse it because it doesnt lasts like it says and its quite on the expensive side.

DISSAPPOINTMENT... theres a LOT of hype with this product! and for me its not worth it.. I have oily lids ( not crazy oly but oily in the end...) and this thing does NOTHING to prevent my eyeshadows from creasing... its a very strong white and i really dont find it a nice purpose... not even in waterline and less on my inner conner.. BAD BAD BAD

Lips -Revlon - ColorBurst Lip Butter in Cupcake
conniehe 8/6/2012 4:54:00 PM
This is a very candy-ish pink!! its a ligh pink with high pigmentation so i was a bit exeptical on how i would pull this off since i dont usually like very bold lips... Due to the cream formulation it has, its not hard to manage the color as you like it! I have VERY dry lips and once i exfoliated them this lip butter worked geniusly!!! WARNING: dont play with your lips during the day or it will go away..

Eyeliner -MAC - Fluidline Eye-Liner Gel in Blacktrack
conniehe 8/6/2012 4:50:00 PM
LOOVE this gel liner!! I have oily lids and this doesnt smudge or move in at least 8 hrs! the color is great but i discovered that using a cheap liner brush the color doesnt show as much but its my brush fault. Its very blendable so when i put a cracked line ( often) i can fix it without a problem! Great product, good packaging, lasts a long time.

With this palette you can pull off TONS of looks!!! you can adjust it from simple to bombshell! Its a great neutral palette with great shimmery eyeshadows ( no fading) and some matte ones! The price is not the best but i really like the product and its perfect for travelling, i only take this palette when i travel and it works for everything! DEFINETELY recommended ( especially when you want 1 multi purpose product)
