Foundations -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup with SoftFlex SPF 6 for Combination/Oily Skin
rated 5 of 5

ok are you guys all crazy? I tried at least 20 other foundations from Maybelline to Chanel and this one is the bomb! I have Asian combination skin: nose/t-zone gets oily within 10 mins after blotting, dry patches on cheeks, and acne all over the face. This beast covers up all of my flaws! The secret is to use your fingers or a wet sponge. USE YOUR FINGERS GODDAMMIT. IT IS NOT HARD TO WASH YOUR HANDS AND BLEND THE DAMN THING ON YOUR FACE.

EXTREMELY flattering on my lips. For reference, I am: Asian, NC30, with pigmented rosy-colored lips. Will repurchase this product for years to come!

Lips -NYX - Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm

Oh my God. I've been neglecting to put on lipsticks for ages until I came across this product. I am Asian, NC30, with pigmented rosy-colored lips. Every color I try turns into a different color on my lips and I never feel like putting concealer on my lips. NYX Stockholms turns into an extremely gorgeous coral/peach color on my pigmented lips and is extremely flattering. Everyone complains about the smell but I like it.

Besides the fact that I loathe the hideous YSL sticker, the perfume smells amazing. I am not a perfume expert and I can't tell you all the notes, but trust me, this perfume is unique. The smell is not common in the market so there is few comparisons. The last thing you want is to smell exactly like a few hundred other people around you on the street. =)

Bought this product in sugar coated just like everyone else. I have very pigmented lips and this balm "nudes out" my lip color in a very nice way. It's also very moisturizing and it smells great.

Bronzers -Rimmel - Natural Bronzer- 21 Sun Light
rated 5 of 5
k1zuna 5/13/2010 6:31:00 PM

Today, I got extremely tired from work so I ventured into a nearby drugstore. Sephora is a few blocks away but I am getting so tired of their BS high end products that doesn't do s****. I read about Rimmel blushes and bronzers on several popular blogs so I went and bought 3 blushes and 2 bronzers. Now here's my opinion: WHAT? 5 bucks for a bronzer? GTFO! This thing seriously beats NARS' Laguna. If you are NC30-35 like me and find laguna looks kind of like dirt on your face, then you have to try this one out! It will not disappoint!

My lashes: straight Asian lashes, sparse, short, never curls Week 1: lashes are somewhat thicker Week 2: lashes are not sparse anymore, lash growth on lower lash line! Week 3: lashes on both edges are significantly longer I'll keep updating my review. So far, I am in love with this product!

HOLY COW! I'm a nc35 girl who can never pull off coral lipsticks, but this one is amazing, AMAZING! It goes on creamy and sheer, so I can build up the color intensity. This with a little nars laguna bronzer, I'm ready for the summer! I am so running out tomorrow to buy 2 backups!

How can anyone not like these lipsticks? They are cheap, creamy, and pigmented! Doesn't stay long though... But overall these are HG drugstore lipsticks!

Lipstick -Maybelline - Color Sensational Lipstick - Warm Me Up
rated 5 of 5
k1zuna 2/28/2010 6:22:00 PM

If you have a coupon, this product will be pretty cheap! Overall, I like this color a lot. I'm NC30 and have very pigmented lips, so what I do is put on a nude colored lipstick first then put on warm me up. The result is quite amazing!

Eyeliner -Maybelline - Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

k1zuna 1/28/2010 9:24:00 PM

Just so you know, this product was released earlier in Japan last year and it has been the best selling eyeliner since then. This gel liner is simply amazing: it stays put for 8+ hours, not a scary intense black color, and the accompanying brush is great also.

So here's the story: I stormed through Macy's first floor this morning, smelled every single perfume on display, and finally purchased this one. This scent is heavenly! I was completely shocked when I saw the low ratings on this page... unbelievable. At any rate, I think I'm in love with this fragrance!

Liquid -Shiseido - Sun Protection Liquid Foundation SPF 42 PA+++
rated 5 of 5
k1zuna 1/3/2010 8:18:00 PM

Pros: 1. Love the packaging. It works like a bottle of white-out: shake, then squeeze out the product 2. Does not break out my combination/acne-prone skin 3. Stay-put for the entire day 4. SPF 42! I even use this product in the winter Cons: 1. Can accentuate dry patches (even after exfoliation) 2. Can be a little oily for the t-zone Overall, I love this product. I tried a variety of foundations ranging from MUFE HD to Chanel, and none of them worked better than this product. Bottom line, if you want decent coverage and breathable skin, get this. If you want perfect coverage and un-breathable skin, get Revlon Colorstay.
