Lipstick -Revlon - Just Enough Buff
helenabinky 3/9/2011 2:45:00 AM
Picked this up, Im a huge peach nude type of person, i have way too many nude lipsticks. this lipstick is almost a dupe for macs freckletone. if you like macs peachstock, or nars honolulu honey, you will probably like this lipstick a lot better than nude attitude or soft nude from revlon. it has a little bit of shimmer, but you cant tell when u look at it . its nice tho, the tone of it is a little tiny bit more pinky undertoned than freckletone. but over all its nice. >belle dejour nars lipstick is also recommended if you like peachy nudes.

I have short lashes. Im Asian. The waterproof formula works better. This and CG Lashblast waterproof is all i will keep going back to. Nothing else. This works Wonders. They trick is to let the 1st coat dry for like a couple seconds and keep adding more layers. I love this no doubt about it.

Bronzers -Milani - TANtastic-face & body bronzer 01

Wow. so its def a knock off of loracs tantalizer (?) but loracs is way better quality . i purchased the light gold one thinking it would be a great highlighter. At first the fall out was not bad and was somewhat tolerable. But after a couple times using it the fall out got worse and the product was not sticking to my face; on top of my liquid foundation!. I could smell the smell after a couple uses too. I didnt realize all these problems after a couple days of use. So the Big reason why i HAD to return it was because if the chunky glitter in it!!!. ITS TERRIBLE. Im a highlighter / blush girl, so i can tolerate moderate shimmer . but this , this was reall bad. It was like straight up Chunky Sparkles on ur face with no color. and it wipes off ur face pretty dam fast. Final recommendations: Only get this if you like horrible fallout out of ur powder or like chunky sparkles on ur face. I gave it a chance and thank goodness that i was able to return at walgreens. (So i havent tried other darker colors and im scared to since the lightes one was a flop)

Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup
helenabinky 12/22/2010 11:49:00 AM
I bought it cuz of tha hype im an nc42, and i really dont like it. The smell is really wierd but hey if u can stand it go for it. Wen i applied it the texture was so thick and drying , u have to work wid it kinda quickly. Altho its good coverage i didnt likehow my face felt. I bought the rev photoready one and i love that one a hell of alot better, its morelightweight an easier towork with.

Blush -MAC - blushcreme ladyblush 
helenabinky 12/22/2010 11:43:00 AM
Nc42 for reference. The color reminds me of maybellines pink please lipstick. Its kinda like a light watermelon color. Although it is flattering on me i do not prefer it, if ur tha type that likes peachy goldy bronzey blushes i dnt recommend. Didnt realize how popular it was until now and i still dnt touch it. Like i said its a nice color but a waste of money for me.

Blush -Illamasqua - Lover
helenabinky 9/22/2010 12:04:00 AM
This blush reminds me of nars luster blush, but its more of a true peach without tha shimmer, i cant find a good peach blush with as good of a color payoff as this one, i cant find anything that looks like it, i kno mac has sum peach blushes but they havent caught my eye as much as this lover blush has. Very good color payoff and this does make u look brighter, kim k.looks like she wears a peach blush of this color everytime i c a pic of her. Nc 32studio sculpt.

Liquid -Revlon - PhotoReady Makeup
helenabinky 4/14/2010 1:01:00 AM
I am an NC37 in the macs studio sculpt foundation. I have been using it for almost more than two years now and i love that it has a lot of coverage, it blends well wit my skin, doesnt make me break out( i have really sensitive skin), one thing thats a problem tho is that at the end of tha day it feels kinda oily , but it does last all day. I bougt this photo ready in medium beige and colorstay in golden beige and when i put one on each side of my face they were almost identical. The photoready was slighty more yellowy and the color stay was a tad bit lighter, but wen i asked my mom if she saw a difference and she couldnt tell. I would say that the photo ready was very similar to my studio sculpt foundation and it also has a bonus of a light light light shimmer.The colorstays foundation choices kinda sucked because i was an inbetween shade of golden beige and another one darker, the nxt color up was too dark. Overall i do likephoto ready a little bit more than colorstay but im just gona mix the two to get both looks. I got mines from walgreens buy one get one 50% off. Btw both foundations hav really great color payoff , me personally i like that matte look better and the colorstay finishes beautifully, but its a little thick wen u apply it in small amounts, i suggest u find a pump to fill the colirstay in an add a tiny bit of face moistirizer. So if u do like macs studio sculpt i think the photiready is tga one that is mor comparable!! Overall love this will purchase again fir daily usage.

For any eye look u can pair it with any of these colors, i love how is jus like the 88 reg pallette, any color u need its there. The blush pallette has babydoll pink blushes that Are like cousins of pink swoon. I like the fact that u can mix them.

Palettes -Coastal Scents - 88 eyeshadow palette
helenabinky 4/1/2010 1:00:00 AM
If you love makeup then i think you should own one of these. This pallete has all the colors you would need in creating any eye look, and has any blendy color you can spontaneously think of. The size of the eye shadows are small [so sad :( ] and the silvers suck as well as the black. I had to repeatedly pick up the eye shadow several times to get the color from the silvers and that single black. Other than that these colors are wearable and this will decrease the amount of money you will spend on high end makeup brand eye shadows. The price is great , and i really dont need to buy hella eye shadows anymore.

Powder -Clinique - Almost Powder Makeup SPF 15
helenabinky 4/1/2010 12:42:00 AM
This product is OKAY. the coverage is blah. and it kind of washes you out and I got oily throughout the day. I used it all up and i was content with it but it wasnt my favorite. I switched to the stay matte powder , i got the shade 'stay honey'. Its pretty good, it doesnt make me oily, but you have to put a lot on to see any differences. I use this over studio sculpt whatever foundation and it works well. I SAY TRY STAY MATTE POWDER Rather than the Almost Powder

Lipstick -MAC - Satin Lipstick - Myth
helenabinky 4/1/2010 12:37:00 AM
I tried this and seriously I hated it. but on others it looks really nice. On my skin tone (medium ish) it was just way too light and boring even with gloss on, i rather choose Peachstock a gillion times more than that.

Moisturizers -Vaseline - Petroleum Jelly
helenabinky 4/1/2010 12:34:00 AM
I freakin use this everyday. My lips need to be moisturized and vaseline never lets me down. I use it just a little little little bit on my brows before I draw/shade them just so i can shape them easily with a napkin. you really dont need fancy chap sticks. i used to buy soft lips and they are expensive and i use them up really fast. I would recomment vaseline or carmex strawberry chapstick for everyday use it does the job.

Lipstick -MAC - Peachstock (satin)
helenabinky 4/1/2010 12:28:00 AM
I have medium toned skin, peachstock just made my eye makeup and blush pop. A makeup artist put sub culture lip liner over peachstock and it is beautifull!! I have jubille, half n' half by mac, and hermes, soft beige by nyx (they are all nude to light light brown lipsticks) they are all great except soft beige nyx; its okay, but Peach stock has no comparison it is just one of a kind. YOU MUST ATLEAST TRY IT! its gorgeous on its own and its really flattering on any eye look.
