Lotions/ Creams -LUSH - Sympathy for the Skin
deepmakeup 7/29/2009 11:39:00 AM
Smells good and moisturizes well, but i need more for my dry legs. Price is a bit high for the amount of product. I may try another one of lush's creams, but not this one. I gave it 3 lippies for the yummy smell it has.

Masks -LUSH - Mask of Magnaminty
deepmakeup 7/29/2009 11:36:00 AM
I love this refreshing mask. I use it every once a week and i must say that it is awesome. I love the tingly fresh feeling when you apply it first on the face. It cleared my skin quickly and also evened out my skin tone. It made my face look even brigther. Only problem is the packaging, i hate to stick my finger in it every time i use it otherwise i love it.

Moisturizers -LUSH - Imperialis
deepmakeup 7/3/2009 12:34:00 PM
Very greasy and feels like i have lots of moisturizer on my face. Perfect for night time, but definitely not for the day. As soon as i apply it on my face i notice small sweat bumps on my t-zone. It is pretty pricey, and smells ok. Maby be i will try vanishing cream next as i've heard that it really absorbs well into the skin.

Toners -LUSH - Breath of Fresh Air
deepmakeup 7/3/2009 12:31:00 PM
I use this after i wash my face with Lush cleansers and it works just fine. I have not noticed any significant difference but i know it's all natural products so maybe it's better that way. Also it is alcohol free and smells very fresh.

Scrubs -LUSH - Ocean Salt
deepmakeup 7/3/2009 12:29:00 PM
I purchased this product about a month ago and i must say that this is the best scrub i have found and will probably stick to it. I've tried MAC, Clinique's 7 day scrub and St ives but this one works wonders. It's a bit harsh on first contact but once you work it through it feels like it's taking out all the day's dirt and grime and leaves my skin super soft like a baby's bottom:) It smells like clean kinda like men's shaving cream. But i love the blue color and the smell and of course what it does to my face.

Pressed Powders -Maybelline - Maybelline Mineral Power Finishing Veil Powder ] ] [DISCONTINUED]
deepmakeup 6/18/2009 12:57:00 PM
I use this over my maybelline dream matte mousse foundation and it's just awesome. It gives me that matte, fresh look and stays good throught out the day. Just a few touch ups with the veil powder and it makes me look flawless. I wish they sell this product in a compact which has a mirror in the front on top of the powder, coz it's the twisty kinds where you have to turn it around for the mirror and sponge. Otherwise i love it and will definitely buy more of this. Handy to keep in my purse and is really smaller compared to other bulky compacts. Worth the price!

Foundations -Maybelline - Dream Matte Mousse
deepmakeup 6/18/2009 12:51:00 PM
I have been using this foundation for a month now and i am really liking it. In the begining i guess i applied too much and used my fingers, but later i tried it with a sponge and it worked really well. I am a meduim shade, natural beige 2.5 and it blends well on my skin. It gives meduim coverage but when i put on some mineral veil powder it gives me a really good matte coverage. It lasts throught the day with just a few touch ups. I like the consistency, very mousse, feels like marshmellows or whipped cream. I would definitely recommend this if you want a cheaper foundation with some meduim coverage. Love the little container it comes in, very handy to throw in my purse for to go instead of liquid foundations.

Scrubs -MAC - Microfine Refinisher [DISCONTINUED]
deepmakeup 6/18/2009 8:28:00 AM
The MA at the MAC counter gave me a sample of this and i tried it at home. Few minutes later i had a really bad itchy rash on my face, with red spots all over. I had to throw the stuff away immediately. The texture is liking rubbing sand on your face. Very harsh and has a very strong fragrance. Did nothing for me other than a rash and would not recommend people with sensitive skin to buy it.

Skincare - Face -MAC - Charged Water Revitalizing Energy
deepmakeup 6/18/2009 8:24:00 AM
this is an older version of the FIX+ but has fewer ingredients compared to fix +. I love to use it in the morning after washing my face with a mild cleaser. It does not dry instantly and feels kind of sticky. So i think fix+ works better and absorbs quicker than the charged water. I got this at my local cco for $14.

Lipstick -MAC - Viva Glam VI
deepmakeup 6/18/2009 8:20:00 AM
One of my all time favorite lipstick from MAC. Looks awesome on my NC 42 skin tone. Very easy to apply and i use it with mahogany lip liner form MAC. It is a bit creamy on application but when i want to give it a matte effect, all i do is dab some talc powder on my hand and then with my fingers just press it on my lips and there you go it just changed into a matte lipstick. You can try this with any creamy textured lipstick. I wear it everyday for work, stays longer when you matte it and it goes with most of my clothes.

Moisturizers -Neutrogena - Ageless Essentials Continuous Hydration Moisture
deepmakeup 6/18/2009 8:15:00 AM
I purchased this about 4 weeks back and i think it's a good enough time to review it. Must say it is a good moisturizer, easily absorbs into my skin, not at all shiny throughtout the day. This is my daytime moisturizer and it also has spf 28. Very light, mild fragrance and easily absorbed. I wear it under my makeup and it does not let me makeup slide off or anything. I also use it in the morning with the ageless essentials cleanser. Overall it is worth the price.

Eye Shadow -Coastal Scents - 28 Neutral Palette
deepmakeup 6/17/2009 7:54:00 PM
I purchased this online and got my package in like 3 days. I was very excited to see the colors which i use for my everday look. But some of the colors are not too pigmented, they look kinda chalky and have some fall outs. I love the lighter colors which work well for highlighting. The black works well for blending and giving the smoky effect. Overall i like it but not like oh! i love it and i need to get one more. The palette is very attractive, similar to MAC palettes but the pans are smaller. Good price for some duplicate MAC shades.

Lotions/ Creams -Nivea - Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme
deepmakeup 6/17/2009 7:48:00 PM
I use this daily as my nightime moisturizer before i got to bed. I apply it all over my body, including my face. It's the best moisturizer i have ever used. I have tried many highend as well as drugstore products but this one works really well. I am completely satisfied with it. It makes my skin feel soft and clean. The scent is not too overpowering, kinda relaxing sweet scent. I have combination skin, my t-zone gets very oily but with this cream it just absorbs into my skin immediately and there is no trace of oil on my face.However this is more of my summer time moisturizer, for winters i use something more moistruizing like Cocoa butter formula.

Mascara -MAC - Zoom lash
deepmakeup 6/17/2009 7:43:00 PM
This was the best one i have used for some years now. It just opens up your eyes and makes them look so much brighter. After i curl my lashes i apply this mascara and it just works wonders. You can actually see each strand of hair being lifted up. It does not clump or look as if you applied too much. This is the best one MAC has. I also have thier plush mascara but i prefer this one for everyday wear.

Blush -MAC - Gleeful
deepmakeup 6/17/2009 7:39:00 PM
The MA at the MAC counter tried this blush on me, and it looked pretty good. But when i bought it home and put it on myself, it looked awful on my NC 42 skin, it was way too pink. I had to return it back and get another one.
