Shampoo -LUSH - BIG
rated 4 of 5
gash 8/23/2009 12:41:00 PM

I have very fine thin hair that gets greasy easily. This product is excellent for giving volume and making my hair feel thick and full although it is very drying but really cleans my hair. I remember when this first came out it costs around £6.50 from what i remember, so a price increase of 50% is pretty steep which is why I have given it a 4 and not a 5.

Lip Treatments -MAC - Hello Kitty -- Popster Tinted Lip Conditioner
rated 5 of 5
gash 4/15/2009 3:42:00 PM

I absolutely love this product I have 6 of these as a back up.Ok.... bit extreme but I first bought 3 thought I lost one on a night out panicked and bought another 3 then found the other one lol. I was excited to hear that this one smelt like vanilla cake from the reviews but then quite disappointed that it turned out that it just smells like the normal lip conditioners, they have them chemical taste but nothing too over powering. I hear that this one sold out in other countries, this is still available in the uk after over a month or so. I find alot of the girls here like the fleshy lips look which is probably why pink fish is preferred.The colour is a creamy bright neon-ish like pink, this isn't very coral on me, just a really nice bright pink colour. Its very pigmented unlike thier usual lip conditioners. My lips are not very pigmented so i like a bit of colour in them to avoid them looking washed out. If you are looking for an extremely moisturizing care lipbalm I wouldnt recommend this, but I would recommend it if you want bright pink lips! I cant wait to wear this in the summer with tanned skin!

Lip Gloss -MAC - Lip Varnish - Polish Me Pink
rated 5 of 5
gash 3/18/2009 4:18:00 PM

errr why is this limited edition?and why is there only 2 reviews for this?!lol This lip varnish is AWESOME! I originally bought it on ebay with intentions of giving it to my friend for her birthday as before I bought a big bow hello kitty lippy for her but ended up keeping it so tried to replace it with this....note- dont buy mac for friends!Anyway the colour is a true hot hot pink. Ive been having difficulties finding a true pink hot lip colour with mac. With famous hot pink MAC lippies such as girl about town I found it to have purplish undetones to it and style minx lipglass to have reddy undertones. Polish me pink lip varnish has no other colour undertones, its just a really intense pink bubblegum-ish pink(without the chalky look). The texture is amazing, really creamy and thick without feeling slodgy. The colour comes out exactly like it is in the tube.Such a pity its a LE

Lipstick -MAC - Amplified Creme - Girl About Town
rated 4 of 5
gash 3/14/2009 9:27:00 AM

This lipstick really stood out when I was browsing., a bright deep fuschia pink I bought it at an airport before I was about to fly to Ibiza. I thought this colour would look awesome with a tan which is does! Very nice intense fuschia pink with purply undertones. I love my pinks but i much prefer heatherette hollywood nights which is very similar but more of a truer pink colour. The texture of girl about town is nice and creamy, I do wear it at daytime but I only dab it on for some colour. Iv selected no for if i were to buy it again. I keep going through lip phases and my fuschia pink phase is slowly fading away.....going onto bright corals now!

Lipstick -MAC - Big Bow - Hello Kitty
rated 5 of 5
gash 3/14/2009 9:20:00 AM

I love this lipstick! It looks so pretty in the tube, a really bright (neon-likeish) pink with blue undertones. From swatches on specktra etc it looked like it was more of a reddy pink colour so i wasnt expecting to like it as much. It is very sheer but buildable which I like about it. One slick gives a nice pinkish blush to my lips and it doesnt feel like am very any lipstick on my lips because of it. I bought 2 of these from the uk site one for me and another for a best mates birthday but because i love it more than i expected am actually keeping both (i know selfish!).

Lipstick -MAC - Profusion [DISCONTINUED]
rated 5 of 5
gash 3/4/2009 4:13:00 PM

One of my favourite daytime lipsticks. My lips are naturally very light in colour and this is the colour what my lips should be! Very pigmented medium pinky rose colour but still very natural looking, the texture is nice and creamy making my lips look really plump. Couldnt get it at my mac counter recently so am guessing its been discontinued which am upset about as I have ran out! :(

Misc Beauty Tools -Shiseido - Eyelash Curler
rated 5 of 5
gash 8/5/2006 11:16:00 AM

This is the best curler I have used, I bought the shu one a couple of years ago and that pinched my lids and gave a horrible curl. I bought the shiseido curler based on these reviews and seeing as it was good for asian eyes. I have short thin lashes and this curler makes them curl up. ITS THE BEST!

Lipstick -Paul & Joe - Peigne Rose 045
rated 5 of 5
gash 7/29/2006 9:46:00 AM

I bought this lipstick in malaysia whilst on holiday. At first i regretted it and thought it made no change to my lips, the colour is a nude creamy rose pink(not the pale/concealer nude sort, the natural lip colour sort). The packaging is what made me buy it and especially that it was limited edition. I was looking for a moisturizing lipstick and asked the sales girls whether it did so and she said yes but i knew she was going to say yes anyway! Back home i tried it on using my mac lipbrush and it looked so much nicer! and i was surprised that it was actually quite moisturizing. the colour is similar to my own lips but it gives mine a more rosier and plumper sheen. iv ordered another one of these as i love it so much

Eyeliner -MAC - Liquidlast Liner in Classic Cream
rated 4 of 5
gash 5/6/2006 8:24:00 PM

When I first tested this on my hand, I knew I wouldn't want to use this as an eyeliner. Like the other reviewers I liked the thought of using this as an highligher. I love using highlighting creams on the inner corners of my eyes and brow bones, it just polishes off my look, but it would only last an hour or two. Knowing the staying power of these liners are incredibile, decided to give classic cream a go as an highligher, it is a very light white gold. You have to be quick with blending it though otherwise it wont look smooth, at the moment am practicing with it, so if i improves and can get it to look more natural i will give it a 5 rating!

Eyeliner -Urban Decay - 24-7 glide-on in Electric
rated 5 of 5
gash 4/1/2006 1:14:00 PM

wow this is so beautiful, am not normally the sort to experiment with eyeliners and stick to plain old black(although i also have zero which i love). electric is a bright turquoise color which looks gorgeous with probably any eye colour. glides on well and lasts a long time, love it!

Highlighters -Urban Decay - Peppermint Body Powder
rated 5 of 5
gash 12/26/2005 12:36:00 PM

I love this product, gives a nice shimmery sheen and smells and taste exactly like peppermint, so yummy! Has a bigger powder puff but with less product at 9 grams, the container is cute but the flavour is the best thing about it. It actually does make your mouth minty fresh!

Highlighters -Urban Decay - Peppermint Body Powder
rated 5 of 5
gash 12/23/2005 9:07:00 AM

I think this has to be one of my faves, it tastes exactly like peppermint its not very sweet but its super minty which i love. the shimmer is a lightish silvery pink but looks surprisingly good on olive skin. The packaging is cute but is a smaller size at 9grams. the big powder puff is great too. I have cake,honery,red hot and peppermint. So far red hot and peppermint live up to thier name.

Powders -Urban Decay - Red Hot Flavored Body Powder
rated 5 of 5
gash 12/12/2005 1:21:00 PM

When UD first bought out the flavoured powders, RED HOT didnt appeal to me because of the bright red colour but when I read lickable and opened the up the box I could smell the cinamon and it sure tastes yummy, I love cinamon but I didnt buy it because I didnt want to shell out £18 for a powder whereas I could just buy a packet of fireballs for 50p. I've only just recently bought it on ebay and am addicted to the stuff. Quite unhealthy actually I find myself sitting watching tv dipping my fingers into the tub eating it. Eeeek! Cosmetics wise the powder is a more of a silvery colour with pink shots of shimmer. Its pretty, not really my fave colour but the taste and smell compensates for the colour. Probably suitable for nights out, I havent got to use it probably yet. This stuff is great if you have a boyfriend which I intend to use it for ;)

I love the smell of this, it does smell like genuine honey, not sure what it tastes like but its sweet which i like. The shimmer is gold, it does make me look a bit sweaty but it gives a nice sheen.

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre Lipstick - Pretty Please
rated 5 of 5
gash 11/25/2005 1:51:00 PM

I love this lipstick, it is probably one of my faves. Goes on a sheer pale baby pink and makes my lips look full and sexy. I usually dab it on, on top of some c-thru lipglass rubbed on the lips as it makes them moist. It can highlight flakes on the lips, but i always prepare.
