Blush -Pout - Flush Blush in Peachy Passion
rated 5 of 5
helenmelon 7/28/2006 5:00:00 AM

I've owned this product for two months so I think I can do a fair assessment. This has quickly grown on me and become my hg blush. The color is a bright coral -- a beautiful peachy red. I put some on my index finger to warm it up, then dab it on my cheekbones. It initially looks bright but melts into my skin to a very pretty natural flush (I'm a fff aab). The color doesn't last too long but nothing lasts long on my oily skin and this holds up fairly well in comparison to others. The texture is not quite cream to powder but not quite gel; I'm bit little confused on what it is actually but I like it a lot =] The packaging is so pretty -- hard metal mint green tube with pink fishnet stockings design. I use this everyday and it is incredibly convenient. Blush is my essential product that keeps me looking somewhat awake and alive, and this is amazing. The price is kinda high ($22) for a high school student as me, but I wouldn't mind about shelling out this much for another tube if I have to, especially since there is so much product in each tube.

Polishes -New York Color - Nail Glossies polish
rated 4 of 5
helenmelon 6/2/2006 12:18:00 AM

I have this in 241 and 225. These colors aren't what I expected them to be looking through the bottle. I thought 225 would be a nice warm red polish, but it is in actuality a cool pink-red color that isn't what I expected. Layered, it is gorgeous (I must layer to get color that looks nice). I thought 241 would be a pretty blue polish but funnily enough (and on my yellow undertone) it comes out green even though I layer it on o_O. A green that flashes blue in the light but it is still green. It is a gorgeous shade too -- a mermaid irredescent green that is just beautiful. I am very happy with this although I wish the color would remain truer to what I expected it to be =/

Lip Gloss -L'Oreal - HIP brilliant shine lip gloss - adoring
rated 4 of 5

I loved everything about these glosses. I bought 3 of these -- dreamer, pixie, adoring. They smell amazing and last long bc of the tackiness, which I like. On, this is a beautiful mauvy mlbb shade that works with everything. I purged this one though once I realized my bonnebell mocha mousse is pretty much the exact same color on my lips cept it smells better (bc I prefer coffee to vanilla even though this still smells awesome). overall, I'd recommend this :)

Lip Gloss -L'Oreal - HIP Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss PIXIE

gorgeous shade and lovely smell but barely showed up on me. I wasn't in the market for a clear glos so I can't give this a high rating

Lipstick -L'Oreal - HIP Lipstick
rated 5 of 5
helenmelon 5/31/2006 11:00:00 PM

I got this in moxie and exuberant. The feels moisturizing and looks nice, and the scent is so yummy. Moxie didn't work for me because it was too cool I guess, but exuberant was sooo beautiful -- a perfect coral bronze that looks scary bright in the tube but is in reality very wearable and pretty. I can see myself using it a lot this summer. It sucked how I couldn't see it to test it out so had to go by the color on the box, which totally did not do justice for exuberant. Moxie on the other hand was way too frosty and shimmery for me, and it didn't complement my coloring well. But this product gets a 5 because exuberant makes up for it :)

Nice product I guess. It feels nice and looks nice in the tube, and I love how I can see the color through the top of the tube, but the shade is too frosty for my warm coloring.

Lipstick -Revlon - Super Lustrous Lipstick - Apricot Fantasy
rated 4 of 5
helenmelon 5/31/2006 10:57:00 PM

It's a very pretty shimmery natural color. It builds on my natural color and gives my lips a very pretty light peachy color. It feels nice and looks nice, and I love how I can see the color through the top of the tube :)

rated 4 of 5
helenmelon 5/31/2006 10:53:00 PM

I like these glosses. Coral me wild is an bold red-pink coral. Nice texture, almost no scent (though it bothers me a little) and cute packaging, but the color is a bit too bold on me.

Got this free for participating in the Revlon Run Walk in LA a few years back. This has nice texture, almost no scent (though it bothers me a little), and cute packaging, but I hate hate hate all clear glosses so this only gets 3 lippies from me. Would not repurchase this shade

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous Lipgloss - Nude Lustre
rated 5 of 5
helenmelon 5/31/2006 10:49:00 PM

I like these glosses. Nude lustre is a milky light peach/pink; nude is a bad description bc it is not nude at all. Nice texture, almost no scent (though it bothers me a little) and cute packaging. This shade is my fav of all the SL so far

I like these glosses. Got three of them -- nude lustre, coral glow, and coral me wild (LE summer 2006). Very gorgeousy. Nude lustre is a milky light peach/pink, coral glow is an orangy coral, and coral me wild is a red-pink coral that goes on like a warm cherry gloss. Nice texture, almost no scent (though it bothers me a little) and cute packaging.

Eyeliner -Wet 'n' Wild - Mega Liner - Black

Nice stuff but I'm terrible with brush e/l so I couldn't get this to apply evenly. Would repurchase if I'm in need of one though, this lasts long and is a good basic liquid e/l
