Lip Gloss -MAC - Lustreglass - Sinnamon
cosmic_flash 8/10/2005 4:33:00 PM
This looks exactly like Oh Baby Lipglass in the tube, maybe a shade or half a shade lighter, and sans the glitters. But on the lips it looks very different. Oh Baby is definately a bronzy color, with glitters, even a little orange somtimes. While Sinnamon is a mix of champagne and bronze shimmer, less bronze, doesn't turn orange, and has no glitters.
Lustreglasses are a tad bit less sticky than lipglasses, but I didn't notice that much of a difference. I much prefer the brush tip applicator to the sponge, although I never use it anyway because I like my lipbrush too much, but if I was in a hurry...

Treatments -Goldwell - Color Glow Fluid in Stay Red

It smells a little funky when pumped out in your hand but when you put it on you don't even notice. After using it I can definately see the red in my hair enhanced, although not very dramatically. It also stained my palms red, so I recommend washing your hands immediately after and be careful about it getting on your forehead during application. It's a nice product but not something I "need". I use 3 pumps on my right above boobs length hair.

Moisturizers -Neutrogena - Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 30

This is my HG. I have normal skin not prone to breakouts, NC30. I've already gone through 2 tubes of this. I have this in LIGHT TINT. The color is definately misleading. I would usually be "medium" in everything else. But medium would be way too dark for me in this product, and the non-tinted would leave a white sheen. The trick is finding the right tint. As I said, NC30 = LIGHT tint. This moiturizer is pretty heavy. Wouldn't rec it if you have oily skin.

Lip Gloss -MAC - c-thru lipglass
cosmic_flash 7/18/2005 8:54:00 PM
Milky nude beige color with low-level shimmer. This is nice. Too sheer to be a full-on nude lip look, but nice when I just want to tone down my pigmented lips a little. Again, with all lipglasses, it smells like vanilla and is too sticky for me.

Lip Gloss -Bobbi Brown - SPF 15 Lip Tint in Tea Tint
cosmic_flash 7/18/2005 8:51:00 PM
Price is cheap for BB and you get a lot of gloss. The texture is nice, doesn't add much colors to my pigmented lips but I think would be a beautiful everyday shade for those with pale lips. It's a sheer rosy color. The only rant I have about this is the packaging. I just depise all tube lipglosses so I don't even know why I have this. The slant top is better than the round ones though.

Sheer caramel bronze. Turn my lips into a sheer orangy-red-bronze color. Pretty. Nothing amazing. Too sicky texture for me. And I hate all tube glosses so I don't know why I even have this. Color is nice though.

Lip Gloss -LORAC - Lip Polish in Tender
cosmic_flash 7/18/2005 8:29:00 PM
This is a good nude color, fairly sheer, but just enough coverage. It's VERY glossy though, too much for me to wear everyday. The texture is slippery and for some reason, not sticky. The only rant I have about this is the stupid packaging. I hate it. It's not very portable like regular tubes. It comes in a retarded nail polish bottle. I hate it. So I just put this at home and don't bring it anywhere. Other than all that it's good.

Lip Gloss -Chanel - Twinkle Glossimer

This is my 2nd more worn lipgloss after Dior Ultra Addict in Nibble of Nuts. It's a pink base profusely infused with gold shimmers. It's kind of like MAC Nymphette on tripping on acid. Because there's so much gold in it, it kind of looks coral/peach in the light. If you're a cool toned girl I don't recommend this lipgloss. But if you're slightly tanned Asian, warm, like me. I cannot rec it enough. I also really love the texture, same as Dior Ultra addict, it's a creamy that dries to a shine on lips. Silky smooth and not at all sticky as opposed to the goppy conventional glosses (lipglasses, lipglaze, etc.)

I wear this shade every-single-freakin-day of the week. 'Nuff said. But really. This is a neutral beigy color with gold and pink shimmers. A lot of things wash me out but this didn't. It's the perfect everyday color. $23 is a little steep for lipgloss, but whatever. I'd rebuy this a million times if I had to. I'm slightly tanned warm Asian skintone. I also REALLY love the texture. It's like Glossimers, it's a creamy that dries to a shine on your lips, smooth as silk and not sticky like conventional goop-textured lipgloss (Lipglasses, lipglaze, ect.)

$24 for an e/s is a little steep for me but I really love this shimmer deep purple. It's great wet or dry as a liner, and good for smoky eyes. I sometimes put it in my crease but it's pretty dark and densly pigmented, so be careful to use very little if you do that. It's also a little harder to blend in the crease because it's so pigmented.

When I first open the jar and applied it I though, "This shit is bananas!" It smelled EXACTLY like the real thing - I kid you not. Which instantly made me hungry. Thank God I was wearing Crest Whitestrips. Anyway. What's unfortunate is that 5 minutes upon application. It faded to the scent of, nothing. That's right, nothing. Meh. I would buy it again though. It's average moisturzing. Sure is thick as hell when you try to "frost" yourself though. I am freakin' hilarious.

As a lipbalm it's okay. It smells like ass though. Much like NARS lip laquers. The moisturizing aspect is, just about eh. I can't get over the freakin' smell.
