LOVE this blush. Give sme the perfect flush, looks really scary but it isnt at all. it blends like a dream. I love to pair with MAC's Azaela blush for a slightly strong cheek on days when I want to look dollish

LOVE LOVE LOLVE this bllush! Very unique never seen a blush quite like it. In the pan its super vibrant blue fuschisa but on my NC15 skintone applied with a light and I mean light hand it create a gorgous berry like flush. A flush thas very sweet and romantic if that makes sense. anyway I am a lover of super brigh tblushes such as frankly scarlet, MAC florida,NARS desire, mata hari etc. and this blush is still the stand out of my collection. will repurchase if I ever finish!

Lipstick -MAC - Blankety

Hands down one of my favorite lippies of all time! its nude without looking like concealer lips or death. Im NC15 and it looks natural. tones down the red in my lips. I love amplified creams. very moisturizing so I dont need to use chapstick. Lasting power is decent as well. I just apply after meals and drinks. def. a staple for me!

Primer/ Corrector -MAC - Prep + Prime Face Protect SPF 50

Love love love this! Its soo much better than the other prep+prime primer I tried. The other one left my skin oily and these ittle shimmer particles that were very obvious. This blows the other primer out of the water! First off right now I have an oily forehead,nose and chin but my cheeks are normal to dry. Since this is like a lotion. it hydrated my skin and smooths out my skin and filled my pores. it leaves my face matte and loking fresh. I notice my foundation looks very fresh for most of the day and slightly dewy by the time I take it off which is 5PM. My cons on this product is the price and the packaging. other than that its a winner! Might be HG

LOVE this mascara adds great length and volume with out spending alot. the only two things i dislike is that it smudges alittle bit and the packaging is very cheap looking. Great mascara for me it lives up to its hype! will repurchase.

gabbster123 1/16/2010 10:46:00 AM

Best Looking foundation I ever tried! Looks great in anylight and looks like skin and not makeup! It controls my oily forehead,nose and chin. also I can wear this for 12hours and theres still coverage and it still looks good. I only blot maybe twice of the 12 hours I wear this and only powder once. I love the squeeze bottle packaging very conveint and travel friendly only con is the price but this is such a great product i dont mind ditching out the cash. Def. HG status!

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash BIG
rated 4 of 5
gabbster123 1/16/2010 8:46:00 AM

Great mascara especially for being so inexpensive! It lengthes, gives volumes and great seperation i like how the formula is a little thinner so it can be buildable just the package claims. it also doesnt clump and doesnt cause the spider lash effect. but theres only one con and that it smudges under my eyes. if it didnt smudge then it would def. be my HG go to mascara. Im going to try the waterproof version and if that works then I'm going to yes to repurchasing because its such a great mascara!

Well this is a great everyday pink L/S on my NC15 skin tone this looks a nice easy to wear neutral pink. Its very pigmented for such a light color. Love the cream finish as its moisturizing yet long lasting. Im just getting into Revlon lippies and im impressed by far! Will repurchase.

Blush -NARS - Mata Hari
rated 5 of 5
gabbster123 1/7/2010 9:32:00 PM

One of my ALL time favorite blushes. this is up there with my tarte cheek stain and my MAC frankly scarlet. The texture is like butter,super smooth and pigmented, Lasts all day and best of all its not a shimmer disaster like orgasm which totally sucks. This brightens up my complextion NC15-NC20 with brown eyes and black hair. I use this dailu will repurchase if I ever run out,.

This is my absolutew favorite perfume! it smells strong at first but after it settles. I smell like caramel and vanilla. its very adult and unlike VS or a celeberty scent it isnt a sugary mess, Im surprised by all the negative reviews. even my BF loves this scent on me and cant stop smelling me!

Blush -Tarte - Cheek Stain in Flush
rated 5 of 5
gabbster123 12/19/2009 8:18:00 PM

To start out I usually use only pink/Fushcia blushes as anything peachy/warm looks orange my NC15-NC20 skintone. So this was right up my alley. Personally I never EVER thought of paying $30 for a blush(sigh I hate you lemmings!) anyway this is the best blush product I ever used so far! The amount you get is amazing and will last a very long time. I was scared of the texture as its a little sticky but once its dry the stickyness goes away. The pigmentation is awesome. I appy with my fingers when Im in a rush or when I have more time I use a sponge and get the most beautiful flushed cheeks. whats even better is that this color is almost the same as my natural flush. This product doesnt sit on top your skin like some powder blushes can and look really natural. This has good staying power overall lasting a good 9-10 hours. If Im going out at night I just set it with MAC's Frankly scarlet and get flawless cheeks! This has reached HG status! will repurchase if I ever run out. I will try Blushing Bride next!

Lets start out with the good things about this shadow: #1. The texture is super soft and creamy #2.Really pigmented Thats it for pros now the cons: #1Too much shimmer alomost frosty like making my eyes look creppy and im only 17! #2Too much fallout on face with this shadow even while using a sticky base. #3. Doesn't have good staying power even with primer. #4.Not unique to me just an overly shimmer champagne color Overall the cons out wieght the pros so this product gets 2 stars and a no to repurchasing. Thank god I got this as a swap extra.

Blush -mark - Good Glowing Mosaic Blush - Hush Baby
rated 2 of 5
gabbster123 12/13/2009 12:05:00 AM

The texture and application is great. pigmentation is great like other mark blushes howevcer I don't like how shimmery this on my skin. it looks really frosty for some reason and fake. Also the color in the pan is not what I get on my cheeks. I'm NC15 and this shows up orangey on my face. I have come to realize that peach,neutral blushes all look orange on me and I'm now going to use cool tone shades and blue pink blushes from now on. Won't repurchase.

Blush -mark - Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint in Cheeky

Great smooth texture blends very well, looks like your blushing instead if blush do you know what I mean? also it lasts a long time on my skin. My only gripe about this is that you don't get much product but overall this is a great inexpensive cream blush.
