Blush -Cargo - Rome
giseIIe 3/22/2007 5:57:00 PM
i wouldnt buy this again, only because its an ok color on me and i can find cheaper dupes with loreal. plus i dont use this a lot and it will last me forever. its a nice color overall and the pigment is good too. i absolutely love the cargo packaging. very easy to keep clean. i was looking for a peach color when i found this. its slightly more orange but i can deal with it. i usually like deeper color blushes and the peach thing im assuming was a phase. haha. all in all though its a lovely blush.

Mascara -Lancome - Hypnose
giseIIe 3/22/2007 5:45:00 PM
im on my 2nd tube of this and it is great. i love the slightly wetter texture of this mascara. makes it easier to apply and get even coats. doesnt dry out in the tube quickly which is more than i can say for some other mascaras. i dont hate the packaging, but i dont particularly love it. it could be snazzier. im a packaging whore lol. this is very good at lengthening. no smugde, no flakes, great black color, and easy to remove. lovely.

Mascara -Christian Dior - Diorshow Mascara
giseIIe 3/22/2007 5:42:00 PM
i absolutely love diorshow. not to brag, but i have really thick, long, and plenty of lashes to begin with. i dont like the natural lash look at all. i love the drama of this mascara. applied over my mac lash base, it looks like im seriously wearing fakes. im really not though. but with this mascara it appears as though i am. i love the black color of this mascara and the rosey smell is beautiful. my only one gripe (though i wont take away from the rating) is that it kind of dries out too quickly. no matter. i just apply a drop or 2 of visine on the brush and its good to go. this doesnt flake or smudge but i dont usually have that problem anyway. overall, great mascara and will always repurchase.

Blush -NARS - Orgasm Blush
giseIIe 2/12/2007 4:04:00 AM
this is the blush that gives me that "invisible" glow. it shows up on me but barely and i like that. it adds something mysterious to my face like something good just happened and im super happy, but you dont really know what. i like wearing it when im doing the natural look. i even use it as a highlighter sometimes. i really like this and must admit i only bought it because of the hype, but i ended up loving it.

Blush -NARS - Desire
giseIIe 2/12/2007 4:02:00 AM
the perfect matte just right pink color. it looks super bright in the pan but doesnt go on as bright, its a lot softer on. almost the exact same of NARS angelika, but without the ugly silver glitter. gives the perfect pink outside from the cold flush. a NARS staple, if you ask me.

Blush -NARS - Sin
giseIIe 2/12/2007 4:00:00 AM
tbis is such a rich pigmented color with the most beautiful gold flecks in it. it needs to just barely be dabbed with the brush and you get a great berry flush. love it over bronzer and under highlighter. it was my first NARS blush but it wasnt my last. quality of this is great, but i do hate the square packaging.

Blush -Revlon - Golden Affair Naughty or Spice LE
giseIIe 2/12/2007 3:58:00 AM
i have all of these blushes so the review goes for all 4. they all have amazing color, love the gold highlighter built in, and nice texture. the price is disgusting for a drugstore item, and im not too fond of the square shape for a blush. i like round, fits the brush better. either way these are awesome and i would definitely buy them again if they werent limited edition.

My first MAC blush, but not my last. I love the peachy glow this gives me. great pigmentation, love the shimmer, and as little as i need to use, this will last forever. in my opinion, the perfect peachy blush.

Eye Primer -Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Original (UDPP)
giseIIe 2/12/2007 3:53:00 AM
hell yes. where has this product been all my life? i have the most oily eyelids known to man and i reviewed this product here (before becoming a member) and thought to myself, "whatever, this only works for others i know it wont work for me." but I decided to buy it on a whim and im so glad I did. I honestly would die without this product. to be honest, one night i fell asleep with my makeup on and when i woke up, my eyeshadow was perfect still from the night before when i was dancing and sweating at the club. omg, how can one product be so amazing? i cant rave enough about this. i do hate the packaging though. i wish they made it in solid form so you could just brush or run some on with your fingertip. as the member below posted, i am going to take out the little screw part and get all the product out. the packaging is cute to look at but its true you cant get all the product out. either way, its not gonna stop me from buying this.

Eye Shadow -MAC - All eyeshadows
giseIIe 2/12/2007 12:23:00 AM
In general, MAC is my #1 go to for all shadows. I love the pigmentation, texture, quality, color selection, packaging, and all around MAC makeup quality. Ever since I started buying MAC, I dont really buy shadows from other brands. Besides being super awesome and cheap high end makeup, MAC has ruined all other eyeshadows for me. $13.50 for amazing eyeshadow? Why the heck would I go anywhere else? Sure I buy the occasional NARS or Urban Decay shadow, but nothing beats MAC.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Turquatic
giseIIe 2/12/2007 12:20:00 AM
Really nice color and love the silver shimmer, although maybe the tiniest bit gritty. It didnt bother me though, because the color was so rich and awesome. A bright blue, somewhat turquoise but a little softer and without the green.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Swimming
giseIIe 2/12/2007 12:19:00 AM
Beautiful bright green shadow, makes my eyes really stand out, I love it with browns, bronzes, golds, and especially silvers. So cute as an inner and outer corner color. I wouldnt use this as a crease color personally though. as with all MAC shadows, everything is great, the texture, color, pigmentation, blendability, price, etc. I love it all.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Star Violet (Veluxe pearl)
giseIIe 2/12/2007 12:17:00 AM
I love this. In the pan at the store it kind of reminded me of Cranberry but not at all in real life. Its kind of two-tones and not really any sort of violet color on me (warm, medium olive, yellow undertones, no pink) but it is gorgeous either way. I reach for it quite often. as with all MAC shadows, everything is great, the texture, color, pigmentation, blendability, price, etc. I love it all.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Retrospeck (Lustre)
giseIIe 2/12/2007 12:14:00 AM
This one is a staple for me. I reach for it almost everyday (2-3x a week) Not a gold really or even a silver but more like a shimmery off beige. Make sense? Probably not but the MAC site says bleached blonde lol.Actually come to think of it, it does look like a bleached blonde hair color. Either way its pretty and can be used for multiple eye looks. as with all MAC shadows, everything is great, the texture, color, pigmentation, blendability, price, etc. I love it all.
