Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Honey I Washed the Kids soap
ggarlejo480 2/28/2010 7:56:00 AM
So my first time to lush, I purchased the sweetie pie package. It contains equal cut amounts of honey i washed the kids, i should coco, and rockstar soap. For all three soaps it is 23.95, and I thought it was a good deal. But my honey I washed the kids, doesn't have the honey comb part, nor is it a milky white. Mine is like a brown color :( When I used it..it didn't have a very strong smell, it was very moisturizing though. I just feel like I am not getting the real product. When I do go back to lush I will purchase more honey i washed the kids and do an updated review. As of right now though I am just neutral about the one I have, and I am pretty upset that it's not like everyone else's soap.

Makeup Brushes -MAC - 224 Tapered Blending (Windshield Wiper) Brush
ggarlejo480 2/19/2010 4:43:00 PM
The best blending brush ever! Everyone claims that this is the best blending brush, and I wanted to get it but I did not want to spend $28.00usd. I was at my local Cosmetics Company Outlet and they had this brush for $19.00usd, and I had to get it. So glad I did it blends my eyeshadows together wonderfully.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Makeup Art Cosmetics Notoriety Eyeshadow Quad
ggarlejo480 2/19/2010 4:33:00 PM
I received this quad as a christmas present and my initial reaction was.."wow what a pretty neutral quad" After the first time I used the quad I realized quickly how much I love it, and still to this day I use it everyday. It is really good for everyday use or for the fall season. Very neutral..but the color Notoriety is probably my least favorite. I wish it was more pigmented but I have to work with it to build the color up. I usually use it on the outer v and to deepen my crease. But overall I have been using this product everyday and aside from notoriety, I love this quad.

Eyeliner -Bare Escentuals - Buxom Lashliner -- Leatherette
ggarlejo480 2/19/2010 4:26:00 PM
I was intrigued by this product because it claims to condition and thicken lashes. After using this product for about a month now I definitely can see that my lashes are well conditioned and have gotten thicker. I wish this product could lengthen as well, but overall it is a great smooth highly pigmented gel liner. It has amazing staying power, stays on all day. I will definitely be repurchasing.

Lipstick -MAC - Viva Glam Gaga
ggarlejo480 2/19/2010 4:20:00 PM
I was on the mac website and saw under new products that lady gaga came out with a lipstick for viva glam. As a huge fan of hers I had to get it. Online it said they were all sold out and I went straight to my mac counter and purchased it because I do not want to miss out. As for the lipstick its a beautiful barbie pink. Goes on smoothly it is a lustre which is my favorite finish. Has great pigmentation and lasting power. This lipstick gets 5 lippies!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Carbon
ggarlejo480 11/22/2009 11:01:00 PM
I am not absolutely in love with this product. I just need something to set my eyeliner with and this does the job. It is not as pigmented as I would like it to be but overall a matte black eyeshadow should be a staple product.

Makeup Brushes -E.L.F. - Blending Brush
ggarlejo480 10/26/2009 2:14:00 AM
So I have mixed feelings about this brush. It does such a beautiful job of blending but the bristle's aren't soft whatsoever. So when I am blending I don't ever put pressure on my lid because if I do I get a scratchy feeling from this brush. But overall it lives up to its purpose which is to blend. It is only a dollar so worth it, just don't like the feeling of the bristles.

Eyeliner -Stila - Kajal Eye Liner in Onyx
ggarlejo480 10/26/2009 1:58:00 AM
When I first tried this product on at Sephora it stayed on all day! It didn't smear, smudge, or wear off. So I went back and repurchased it thinking that I have found an eyeliner that can stay on my waterline. Well it's been a over a week now, and I use this product everyday. I have noticed that the more I use the product the more the product does not work anymore. It doesn't have the staying power that it did in the beginning. Now I don't think this is the product fault..I think it's just my waterline that got use to it and now this product doesn't work as well like it use to. This product is very black and so creamy it applies effortlessly. Trying to get a straight even black line is hard, but not impossible. It just takes a lot of practice.

Eye Primer -Too Faced - Shadow Insurance, Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer
ggarlejo480 9/30/2009 3:13:00 AM
I will never wear eyeshadow without this product on. This product definitely brings out the colors in your eyeshadows. Last all day even in the brutal Southern California summers. I really love the packaging for it as well. You get more product out of this tube then UDPP. For those who do not know the shape of UDPP bottle builds the product up in certain areas that the wand can not reach. Therefore causing you to get less product usage. Unlike this product where you squeeze the product out through a tube. All in all great product will definitely repurchase.

Mascara -Tarte - Lash Hugger Mascara
ggarlejo480 9/30/2009 3:05:00 AM
I use this mascara everyday. In the beginning I use to love it. But after 2 months I want something more exciting. It does give a nice natural look to your eyelashes, but that is about it. So when I want to do a natural look this will be the mascara I will most definitely use, but at the moment I want more lift and volume with my lashes so I will be looking for something else. All in all this mascara is great for a soft natural look. Packaging is adorable, price is a bit expensive but it is good for you (paraben free, eco friendly, etc.)

When I saw this eyeshadow duo I just knew I have to have it. The colors are shimmery and very pigmented.
