Lipstick -NYX - Paris
glitteradi 5/18/2013 8:14:00 PM
This is a really pretty, cool bubblegum pink. Very pornstar in my opinion. However my main problem is the texture. NYX round lipsticks have all been really slippery and they just accentuate every crack and crease on your lips. It never really sets just keeps moving on the lips on a very unflattering manner. I definitely recommend Matte lipstick range though. They are fabulous.

Lipstick -NYX - Eucalyptus
glitteradi 5/18/2013 8:11:00 PM
Bright Fuchsia pink color with bit of shimmer/frost. I have no problem with bright cool pinks at all but this one is too slippery, and it just does not stay on at all. It also accentuates any dryness or imperfection on your lips because it never really "sets", like most. I do recommend NYX matte lipstick range which I do love.

Lipstick -NYX - Fig
glitteradi 5/18/2013 8:05:00 PM
This color is really pretty bright pink but the lipstick itself is one of the worst I have ever tried. This goes to all NYX round lipsticks. The color is too slippery on the lips, it does not set nor does it look flattering because of that. Every single crease and imperfection becomes visible. I mush prefer NYX matte lipsticks which are excellent and cover and set beautifully on lips.

Concealers -Cover Girl - CG Smoothers Concealer
glitteradi 5/18/2013 8:00:00 PM
This is a very basic coverstick. My shade is the "neutralizer" It is yellow toned and very light. Looks chastly even on my NC 15 skintone. It does not cover enough and it creases. Would probably be better as a stick foundation if it did not cause me any breakouts. For those who can get Collection 2000 I recommend their wand concealer ahead this because that one covers way better and does stay on. Also I think Max Factor panstick has a better coverage than this one. I cant detect any fragrance, like Covergirl Cheekers do have.

Blush -Cover Girl - Cheekers 117 Plum Plush
glitteradi 5/18/2013 7:53:00 PM
I love and hate Cover Girl Cheekers for same reason. The smell. Some days I love it and some days I cant bear it! The space for brush takes a half of the compact. The brush is useless so its wasted. I think most people just chuck it. I got this in a swap as an extra. It was very kind because I had Covergirl Cheekers on my wishlist. However this color is just like NARS Sin blush. It is ashy and dark and never looks natural on me. I am probably a MAC NW15 or NC 15. But if SIN works for you, Id definitely recommend you to check out this. On my skin as well, Cheekers do last longer than Nars blush. It does have some shimmer. The price is very reasonable. The main reason I dont like the product is the color which never worked on me.

Blush -E.L.F. - Studio Blush in Candid Coral
glitteradi 5/2/2013 10:46:00 AM
I got this in a swap as an extra today. I like the packaging. I like the ingredient list too because it does not contain Bismuth which Nars blush and so many high end blushes contain. I applied it and exactly same thing happened as with Nars Orgasm. It does not show up on me! I tried it on my eyelids as an eyeshadow, and it still does not show up. I think I am going to stick to pinks. Id love to try the ELF studio blush in another shade!

Fragrances -Yves Rocher - Naturelle EDT
glitteradi 1/9/2013 5:21:00 PM
This is a very easy to wear fragrance. It smells green but somehow in the end the dry down smells like lead. Very odd. It has not powdery notes at all so I dont think anyone could call it an "old lady" fragrance.

I think this is a very fresh and young scent. It is like carefree bubbling joy! Easy to wear. It lacks the powdery notes which often gives perfumes the "old lady smell". Roses!

Fragrances -Ghost - deep night
glitteradi 1/9/2013 5:09:00 PM
I never chose this by myself as I got it as a birthday present from a boyfriend. I am very surprised that he chose this fragrance for me as to me it immediately smells very manly. I dont feel feminine nor sexy when wearing this. I can smell wood and some powdery flower notes. It is definitely not sweet or girly fragrance. It is something I imagine rather confident and dominant woman would wear. But my boyfriend obviously feels this perfume is very me, as he always saw me as a rather dominant, arrogant lady. I suppose, maybe I am over analyzing when I think, in this perfume lies the truth about my personality in his eyes. All the other guys ever offered me was bullshit yucky sweet little girl fragrances as Diesel Loverdose and such. I must say The Deep Night guy got it right, but still, I dont enjoy smelling like aftershave, which I feel like I smell like when I wear this.

Fragrances -Lancome - La Vie Est Belle
glitteradi 1/5/2013 6:14:00 PM
I never bought this. I won it. I would not have bought this myself, but I did not give it away even though I find it pretty horrible. I still wear it because it does not give me a headache but it is very generic and it smells just like every other modern perfume creation. It is sweet and sharp, it does not have any soft, round powdery notes that would make one feel womanly and fleshy and warm. It is loud like a teenage girls. It lacks elegance. It reveals too much. It does not wake any interest if I pass this on the street. It is too obviously a perfume. It compares to makeup that is too much and unblended.

Fragrances -Yves Saint Laurent - Rive Gauche
glitteradi 11/2/2012 6:31:00 PM
I always loved the name and the bottle of Rive Gauche, but when I tested it for the first time, it was way too sharp and bug spray on me. Then I tested it again, and now it is a beautiful, long lasting super elegant smelling fragrance, what I wanred Chanel 5 to be. Now I think Rive gauche has turned to more wearable fragrance and I am going to purchase it.

Fragrances -Annick Goutal - Heure Exquise
glitteradi 10/14/2012 8:38:00 PM
I have no idea what this scent contains as I am a fragrance n00b. But I knew what I wanted to smell like. And it was the smell of good old fashioned bar soap, that my little brother stole back home from his military camp. He did not have much money for Christmas presents so he gave me a couple of bars of his military soap. I loved the smell of this soap, but it would never last on my skin for long. So I went on for searching a perfume that would give me the very same clean, soapy, powdery, vintage scent. I described what I wanted to the boys at the Annick Goutal counter, but unfortunately the scent Folavril that makeupalley board recommended to me had disappeared. So the boys at the counter were helpful and started to spray me. The 2 scents on my wrists were too citrusy, then as I was almost leaving the boy came with a sample strip, with Heure Excuise, and it was the one. I knew it! My military soap fragrance!

Lotions/ Creams -Unlisted Brand - Fenjal Hydrate & Replenish Body Lotion
glitteradi 10/13/2012 7:21:00 AM
I like the packaging, it comes with a pump which you can turn to lock. However being fan of the fragrance in Fenjal Deodorant, I wanted to buy the body lotion, becuase I dont wear deodorant but I wanted to smell the lovely scent. What a huge disappointment! I was expecting the fresh soapy smell and I get this manly sweet spicy smell in lotion?? What is this? I dont want to smell like aftershave. So Disappointed.

Fragrances -Christian Dior - Miss Dior
glitteradi 10/7/2012 6:24:00 AM
I find this very bland and suitable for young girls rather than women. I do like it still, it is very easy to wear and is probably unlikely to disturb anyone at all. However it seems too similar to other stuff that is popular now. It is light and sweet and flowery and it does not have much character. However I like it because it makes an excellent "sleeping fragrance". I wear it to bed and Ill sleep well. If I try to sleep with something like Anais Anais or Red Door. no can do, because these fragrances are so full of character that they simply make me restless while Miss Dior is soothing and comforting with it non offensive notes. However, I possibly would not wear it on daytime, because it would put me right to sleep.

Fragrances -Yves Saint Laurent - Saharienne
glitteradi 10/5/2012 9:20:00 PM
This review is probably not going to be helpfull at all becuase I am in no way a fragrance expert so I do not write reviews often. This fragrance is definitely unisex, it is masculine in the beginning very sharp, but it softens down to more spicy finish. I did not like it much when I bought it but I wanted it because I wanted to make a statement to my lover who offered to buy me a gift after a night together. He told me to choose a fragrance whatever I liked, I told him I did not really wear fragrances but he insisted. Then I was looking and he tried to talk me into yuky lacking personality puckey sweet Diesel Loverdose. I was offended, what kind of GIRL does he think I am, I am not a stupid teen who falls for all that mass fashion shit. I am a WOMAN for gods sake! I smiled and turned around and walked right towards an YSL counter, I picked up the first bottle that looked most masculine, sniffed it and though well thats powerful, I am not your f***** little princess. "Ill take this" . And thats how I ended up with this, it was all pure rage. And actually this fragrance grew on me. This gives me a huge boost confidence and power. It is my ultimate BITCH fragrance, but it is probably only because of the bitter sweet memories. By the way... we did not last. But I am grateful for the fragrance. It was expensive.
