Lips -Revlon - Color Burst lip butter - Cotton Candy

This is a girly cool pink, like a bubblegum pink color that isnt ugly looking on my warm toned, NC37 skin.

Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup with SoftFlex SPF 15 Normal/Dry Skin
glamourgirl40 1/3/2012 4:17:00 AM
I wanted to love this foundation. Actually, I DID in fact love this foundation. I think it's the most long lasting foundation that I've ever used, because most foundations don't last a whole day on my oily face. Also, this has kept me from looking too shiny, so that's good. It can offer really good coverage, which I LOVE! Despite all the love for this foundation, there are a lot of cons. First of all, I don't like how it's not in a pump, so it's awkward to get the product out. Second of all, it smells nasty and like paint, and it stays on my face for a long while. Third and most importantly, it BROKE ME OUT. Like, the worst break out I've ever experienced in my life. It's really depressing because I know that if it didn't break me out so much, this would have been *the* HG. To this day, I spend so much money on foundations that turn out to be a bust, so I'm thinking of purchasing non-drugstore foundation from now on. If you have non acne prone/sensitive skin, I highly recommend this foundation. The weird thing is, I use the Revlon Photoready and that didn't break me out and they have many similar ingredients. I don't know, maybe it's the fragrance or something.

I like this more than udpp for eyeshadow but this doesn't help my eyeliner. This primer is good but I wish it can last longer and not fade as much!

Eye Shadow -Maybelline - Stylish Smokes in Natural Smokes
glamourgirl40 6/8/2011 2:59:00 PM
I love love love this product! I do love my NYX and Wet N Wild shadows, and although this is my only Maybelline eyeshadow product, this is my favorite eyeshadow quad. I use Natural Smokes almost all the time. I just love how it can give me the perfect smokey eye. For people who want a nice sultry smokey eye but don't look good in greys, this the absolute perfect quad. I paid around 4 bucks at Walmart for this bad boy, and I don't regret it at all. To be honest, however, I would give this quad 4.5 stars just because of the new packaging. I've seen the old one before and I hate how there's more highlight and liner color yet less crease and lid color. If I were them I would give more crease and lid color and less highlight and liner color. But still, I love this product and it's a definite HG for me.

Eyeliner -Wet 'n' Wild - Mega Eyes Creme Eyeliner - Black
glamourgirl40 5/27/2011 7:58:00 PM
I like this product! Its a nice black and it's pretty cheap for something so good. My only gripe is it kind of fades on me and it smudges throughout the day. Also it doesn't blend as easy as fluidtrack. However I microwaved it for ten seconds the other day because it got dried up (dries up more unlike fluidtrack) and it acually applies better now. This is a definite repurchase! People when you see it in stores get it right away its hard to find!

Bronzers -New York Color - Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny 720
glamourgirl40 5/3/2011 2:09:00 AM
I was nervous on getting this product mainly because of the reviews I see on Makeupalley. A lot of reviewers complained that it was too light to contour with and since I'm an NC37 and not really that fair skinned, I was leaning against getting it. I was going to get a Rimmel bronzer instead, but the one dollar price difference (I'm serious this is what got me) and not to mention, the amount of raves this product had, finally got me to get this instead. And I'm so glad I did! I could actually use it as a contour on my skin, and it's not that difficult to blend in with! Whew, thank God, because I wanted a bronzer for contouring purposes! However, stay away from the product if you are more medium-dark skinned since it is pretty light. Overall it's a pretty good bronzer and for the price it is good.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous - Pink Whisper 130 (LE)
glamourgirl40 3/7/2011 11:44:00 PM
I like this color a lot, it's a frosty baby pink suitable for people who want a light color to counter dramatic dark eyes, yet don't look good with more natural nude lips (I look very washed out with that look). I'm very pleased that it was actually able to LIGHTEN my very pigmented dark pink lips, since I was thinking it would just add a layer of shimmer. So that's a big big plus!!!:) I was a tiny tiny bit disappointed though that the lip gloss wasn't as warm toned of a pink as it looks like on the container. It's more cool toned that it looks on my actual lips. But the most annoying thing though is that it's not long lasting!!! Oh well, I'm content.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous in Coral Reef
glamourgirl40 3/7/2011 11:39:00 PM
This color is just so nice, it's a coral-pink, with just the right balance of pinkness and orangeness. It's a bright, pretty, summery color, but it does not look cheap or too garish/neon. I'm really into this color as my everyday color, it's definitely my HG lip gloss just because I love the color so much!! Compared to my MAC Pink Lemonade lipglass, which is TOO BRIGHT of a peach-coral-pink, this is subtle and noticeable yet not boring. I just love the Revlon SL line overall, because of the pigment and the colors! I just wish this lip gloss would last longer, and the price be cheaper (it's expensive for drugstore!!). Also, it would be a bonus for it to have a yummy scent, like the MAC lipglasses.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous in Pink Pop
glamourgirl40 3/7/2011 11:33:00 PM
I love this color!! I feel so girly and pretty and just whimsical!!! Overall, the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss line has the best lipglosses and they are better than my MAC lipglasses. They have the same amount of pigmentation but the lipglasses are terrible since they are too sticky and hard to apply, and they form white lines on your lips and accentuate the chapped parts more. Anyway, back to this product, it's a very girly bright pink, however I was kinda hoping for it to have a more cool tint in it. In the container, the color looks cool pink that it does on my lips. Nonetheless, I love the color and the product and I just wish it stayed longer because it doesn't last that long. Not to mention, the price could be a bit lower for a drugstore lip gloss.

Concealers -MAC - Studio Sculpt [DISCONTINUED]
glamourgirl40 8/21/2010 11:39:00 AM
I love this concealer! I had the studio fix one before with the SPF and I honestly think this is better. The studio fix one was very hard to blend and the SPF made my under eyes look weir in pictures. This one didn't since it didn't have the SPF and this is easy to blend. Also has good coverage and there's a lot of product too! The cons are that it creases (I expected this) and it doesn't last long unless I set it with a LOT of powder. The packaging sucks too cuz when I drop it parts of the lid come off! This is a pretty good product overall.
