Cleansers -Shiseido - UV White Clarifying Cleansing Foam I
emmaguo 3/9/2003 2:22:00 PM
I love this cleanser, esp. it's smell, very clean and fresh. The cleanser was great for my face but it didn't do much to take off my eye makeup. The good thing is that it makes your face feel SO clean =).

Great product and fast results. I been using Talika for a month or more now and my lashes have grown tremendously, to the point where when it's curled it looks like my lashes a month ago with mascara on!

Mascara -Lancome - Flextencils
emmaguo 2/9/2003 6:15:00 PM
This is my all-time favorite mascara. I'm asian and is always looking for mascaras to lengthen my lashes, and to make them thicker. This mascara does all that and even more. It makes my lashes so long that I can't believe that they aren't fake =P, AND, my lashes are curled and thicker. I think I found my holy grail ;D!

Lips -Baby Pink - Clear
emmaguo 2/9/2003 6:13:00 PM
YUM! This is my FAV. lip gloss! Sp cheap and works like any other expensive gloss out there... and even better. It's super shiny, glossy, and stays on forever. The bad thing is that it you close the cap and sqeeze it, it can leak out. Oh well, but.. I still give it a 5!

Misc Beauty Tools -Shiseido - Eyelash Curler
emmaguo 11/5/2002 6:43:00 PM
This is almost identical to my Shu Uemura curler, however it curls more in less time. I prefer my Shu curler though, because Shiseido's curler tends to easily pinch my lids, and it *really* hurts. The Shu curler is a little heavier, but it's more gentle on the eyes. And, if you spend some extra seconds, you can have the same effects of the shiseio curler.
Both works miracles, but for me, the Shu curler is just my favorite!

Eyes -Kose - FASIO eyegloss
emmaguo 11/5/2002 6:39:00 PM
I have this eyegloss in silver, and I like it for the days when I don't feel like applying makeup. The more gloss you put on, the more the color will stand out. The eyegloss has tons of shimmer in them, so, I could put on just a tint to make my eyes shimmer, or I could put tons and look like an Egyptian ;D. I think the price of this was $4, so it's cheap. It's quite tiny though, I was expecting a much bigger size. The actual size is a about 3/4 the size of your thumb...

Lip Gloss -Kanebo - Platinum Pearl Pink lipgloss
emmaguo 11/5/2002 6:33:00 PM
This is the best lipgloss EVER (besides my ROCKET CITY's gloss). The colors are SOOOO pretty, it lasts and lasts. I wore this @ 7 in the morning, and it lasts almost to noon (when I started licking my lips since I was so hungary).
There are no flavors (which I like), and the texture is not sticky or runny, just perfect. It shines and shines, there is some shimmer in it also. The tube is adorable, very cute. For 5 dollars, this is totally worth it, and it's not that it's just good for it's 5 dollars worth, it's better than all my expensive 15+ lip glosses too!Was this review helpful to you? Yes No
Cleansers -Almay - Milk Cleanser
emmaguo 10/20/2002 4:34:00 PM
I don't know the price of this since it's my mom's but man, this cleanser is the WORST I have ever tried. Use soap if you have to, but never this! And, yes it does dry out your skin. I used this for two days and my skin is like looks like it's cracking. It goes on like oil and grease. It's hard to come off since it's so greasy and sticks to your skin. I had to use soap over this so that it actually comes off. If i didn't use soap I'd still be in the bathroom rubbing this off!

Mascara -Origins - Underwear for Lashes
emmaguo 10/20/2002 4:22:00 PM
The product doesn't work too bad if you have naturally curly lashes and if you have the time to spend 2 minuets on each eye. The white "underwear" thing takes a LONG time to even get on your lashes. You'd have to comb through and through to get just a tiny bit of "underwear" on. For people like me, with straighter lashes, this "underwear" just straighens my lashes down 30% after using a curler. The price isn't that bad, but for 4 dollars more, I could get Bourjois Coup de Theatre mascara, which works a TON better <-- curls, thickens, lengthens.

Fragrances -Lise Watier - Neiges
emmaguo 10/20/2002 4:17:00 PM
I LOVE this fragrance! The smell is not too strong, but not light either. It smells very feminine, and very snowy. Every time I wear this, I think of a winter day with snow shaped like white flowers falling and falling. It's a very "comfortable" perfume, one that could be worn anywear. It's very wintery, and memorable. I usually don't care for the bottle if I love the smell, but this bottle is just ADORABLE! It is clear, with FROSTED snowflakes everywear. The price is $40 for a 50ml bottle <-- which will last for a year. Not too bad compared with other fragrances. Will def. buy again!

Mascara -Caboodles - Mascara
emmaguo 10/5/2002 2:23:00 PM
This is one of the worst mascaras ever. First of all, it doesn't do anything to my lashes, and b/c it's waterproof, it doesn't come out easily, even when using a eye cleanser. The mascara brush is very thick, and so everytime you put it back into the tube some mascara would be smeared on the outside.

Mascara -Neutrogena - Weightless Volume Mascara
emmaguo 10/5/2002 2:20:00 PM
This mascara should be named WORTHLESS Volume Mascara. It doesn't do anything to my lashes at all, which is why it's expensive, it should be 99 cents. Even after I put like 10 coats on, it looks like I don't have any mascara on at all. I would never buy this again.

Palettes -Urban Decay - Shadow Box
emmaguo 10/4/2002 7:53:00 PM
I love this shadow box! The color combination is really really pretty, and all of them matches my skin tone, unlike the facecases, some eyeshadows I can use, and others I can't. Anyhow, this shadow box is in a neat slide-and-lift sort of metal-like case, and it's very easy to use. There is also a mirror included. Although the price is a little expensive, I would def. buy this again since I love the colors so much =).

Mascara -Bourjois - Coup de Theatre False Lash Illusion - Duo Mascara
emmaguo 10/3/2002 9:27:00 PM
I changed my review b/c after experimenting it does work very well. I learned that I have to put my Shiseido mascara on first, before this, otherwise if I just wear this mascara alone, my lashes would straighten out. However, after applying this over my Shiseido mascara, it really does work miracles! My lashes look very long, full, and dramatic. Would buy again, knowning the effect it has on me.

Blush -Urban Decay - X [DISCONTINUED]
emmaguo 10/3/2002 9:24:00 PM
I really like this blush, b/c it goes on sheer. I can always apply more if I think it's too light, or if I'm going for a subtle look, I can apply less. The packaging is so cute! Very simple and easy to use. I would def. buy this again!
