Lip Gloss -Cover Girl - Smoothwear Liptints in Rose Petal
eoneil22 12/30/2008 8:05:00 PM
I can't believe I haven't written a review about this yet! It takes a lot of love for me to finish a product, let alone repurchase it. I even went on eBay and purchased in bulk when it was discontinued. I have tried other colors but the Rose Petal is my fav. I'm on my third tube. It's super moisturizing and even though there is a slight scent it's not overpowering and it wears off. There isn't much color payoff but that's what I like about it. The color reminds me of Guerlain KissKiss Gloss in Rose Tentation minus the price tag. Highly recommend if you can get it on eBay.

Primer/ Corrector -Alima - Balancing Primer Powder
eoneil22 1/6/2008 10:05:00 AM
I am new to using primers but I have used many already. Since I use MMU I don't like to use a liquid primer because the powder foundation never seems to come out right. I have tried the Fyrinnae Rice Primer and I was not too impressed. Plus I think it was breaking me out. So on to Alima Balancing Primer Powder. I really like it. I bought it in Medium because the swatch on the site looks really light. It is really light in person too, so I was glad I didn't go with the light color. For reference I am an NC20/NC25. I use the primer under a combination of Beige 3, Neutral 2, and Neutral 3 Alima foundations that I got as samples. I gave it five lippies even though I still get oily because I figure nothing is going to get rid of oil all day. But this is a great product.

Powder -Alima - Satin Matte Mineral Foundation
eoneil22 1/6/2008 9:57:00 AM
I love this foundation! I have been using BE for years and loved that but recently started getting itchy around my chin. I read on the boards this was because of the bismuth stuff in the BE. So I needed to try something new. EM broke me out something horrible! I was hesitant to try Alima because of my EM experience but the samples are inexpensive and thought why not. I ordered Beige 3, Neutral 2, and Neutral 3 along with a sifter jar. I mixed them all together in the sifter jar and came out with a perfect color! For reference I am an NC20/NC25. When I purchase a full size product I will probably go with Neutral 3. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who loves mmu or wants to try mmu for the first time. P.S. I use the Alima Balancing Powder Primer before applying foundation and it really helps keep the foundation in place all day and the oilies away.

One lippie taken off for price for such a small amount of gloss and because the brush, which is HORRIBLE! I love the color and the color payoff is great. I would but again and I have gotten a few other BB glosses.

At first I didn't think that I would like this but I have grown to love it. I find myself reaching for it more and more often and it is the one lip gloss that stays in my purse.

Powder -Everyday Minerals - Foundation - Intensive formula [DISCONTINUED]
eoneil22 12/28/2007 5:45:00 PM
I have to say that I did not like this product! It made me breakout so badly that my face hurt. And when I did try it it left me very dry at first then very oily. Yuck! I wanted to like this because of the price and reviews from the boards but I was disappointed. Going to try Alima next. Have been a devote BE user for years.

Conditioner -Bumble & Bumble - Leave in Conditioner
eoneil22 12/28/2007 5:38:00 PM
I am on my second bottle of this conditioner which never happens because I am a product junkie. When I realized that I had run out of the first bottle I thought "Wow I guess I really like this!" I use it mostly in the summer when I don't blowdry my hair for a more natural look. Occasionally I use it in the winter when my hair is extra dry after doing regular conditioning in the shower. It doesn't weigh my hair down at all. Took a lippie off because of high price.

Styling Products -Jonathan - Leave-In Glossing Creme
eoneil22 1/10/2007 7:17:00 PM
I really like this product. I have thick hair that gets oily easily so things tend to build up on my hair, but this doesn't. I use it on wet hair before I blowdry and then the next morning on dry hair. My only issue is that I still get frizz.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Plushglass in Ample Pink
eoneil22 12/23/2006 7:23:00 PM
I love this lip gloss. I am addicted to having my lips moisturized and thought that since it was a lip plumber, that it would dry out my lips but it does not. I am completely in love with this product. It is a great color that I can wear to work everday or with a nice smokey eye at night. It is one of the few lip glosses I don't have to put balm on first. Another plus is that it does not numb your lips; they get slightly tingly but that is it. I have tried other lip plumpers and they have left ugly red marks outside my lip line, this doesn't. I have gone through almost half a tube since I bought it about two months ago because I wear it so much. Highly recommended.
