Lip Gloss -NARS - Boogie Nights

I sucumbed and bought thias after seeing it in Sephora. It is quite a different color and hard to describe - shimmery and not quite fuschia(which I think of as neon bright), this has a little more purple to the pink and I love it! Brightens my face. You can tone it down by blotting or just after having it on a bit...gorgeous color!

Bronzers -Laura Geller - Bronze-N-Brighten

This was a surprise in that I ordered from QVC without seeing it first. It's quite nice, and not terribly dark or fake orangey. This will work in winter as well when you just want a touch of color

Lip Gloss -Rimmel - Lip Dazzler ~ Sensational
dkarnitsky 3/23/2004 11:02:00 AM
What a nice surprise - I don't usually buy drugstore stuff but I loved my Rimmel l/g and was intrigued by these tubes. I picked up Sensational which is a warm raspberry, not one of my usual choices * I can't do pinks!). Love the texture and the color looks nice on me, it brightens up my face! Yahoo! A steal!

Lipstick -Laura Mercier - Pink Grape
dkarnitsky 3/2/2004 10:56:00 AM
This is an interesting color, kind of hard to describe ..almost red but not, it has a touch of wine in it which makes it easier to wear than a bright red. My only disappointment it is a touch dry, I put a base on first so it would not bleed and had to add a touch of clear l/g but it is fine with that.

Lip Gloss -Smashbox - Lipgloss- Pixel
dkarnitsky 1/7/2004 11:33:00 AM
I got this in the QVC TSV as well and really like the color and texture. I read some reviews that said the staying power is minimal but I find it to be about the same as other l/g only not as goopy. My only rant is there seems to be practically no product in the package, I used it up really quickly and I NEVER use up my lip products!

Lipstick -Cargo - Dalkeith Lipstick

I was loath to buy a Cargo l/s as I never cared for the e/s and the glosses were overpriced in my opinion..but I was in Sephora and tried this and LOVED it! The color is a pinky-brown version of YLBB and is the perfect everyday no thought choice of a color!!

Eye Shadow -Sue Devitt - Starlights Clear Water Shadow in Aquilla
dkarnitsky 11/14/2003 10:57:00 AM
Cute packaging and the e/s is interesting, different, in that you shake it with the water and then open it, the brush is attached to the cap. I like the matallic color bt the color line is limiting and also it takes a little while to dry. I think it will be better in the summer. I also think it would be a better concept for a liner!

Lip Gloss -Apt.5 Cosmetics - Lip Gloss Pot
dkarnitsky 11/14/2003 10:55:00 AM
I was in NY on vacation and wanted to see the brand being a makeup junkie. I bought one l/g #005. The product looks like my Poole l/g except not in a silver compact. I figured for 4 bucks it would not be a great find but I really like it! The color is a bronzed red and it actually has coverage! Not sheer like most cheapies. I am happy.

Fragrances -Thierry Mugler - Angel
dkarnitsky 9/24/2003 9:51:00 AM
This is my HG of fragrances. Even when I stray I always end up coming back. I am not a floral person so I love the chocolate and foody aspects of this. People always comment when I wear this. I am probably on my 5th bottle over the years!

Eyeliner -BeneFit Cosmetics - BADgal
dkarnitsky 9/16/2003 2:29:00 PM
What's the big deal? After reading the catalogs you would think this was the HG of black eyeliner. It is pretty boring and a little dry IMHO. I like Smashbox's creamy eyeliner in Caviar better for black.

Palettes -Trish McEvoy - Petite Planner

I took the plunge and bought this RUby one during the Nordstroms' summer 2003 anniversary sale. I debated sending it back - it is thick and I could not carry it every day..but it is so darn pretty and all of the colors in it made it a really good deal, and Trish's stuff is such good quality. Plus I can put in other stuff - in fact I am off today to buy another page to put all my different e/s in!!!

Palettes -Bobbi Brown - Nude on Nude Shadow Palette
dkarnitsky 8/9/2003 9:55:00 AM
After trying it and liking it the first time, the next 2 experiences were not too good, it felt chalky and did not look as good, so.....I ended up returning it. Sigh.
