kizkad 10/7/2009 9:33:00 AM
this is the latest in a line of highlighters that i have been trying, looking for my HG, i tried high beam, moon beam, albatross, and various offerings from mac, but they all pale in comparison to this gem, by far the very best highlighter i have ever used! just what i have been looking for

love this dazzleglass, lovely texture, subtle colour, and stays put for a loooooong time, fades very nicely. prefer these to the lipglasses but theyre still good

Palettes -Urban Decay - Book of Shadows [DISCONTINUED]
kizkad 9/29/2009 1:11:00 PM
what a good price! you get so many shadows for 27 pounds whereas a full mac palette would cost so much more. the colours are so intense and vibrant and creamy, and the glittery one, the midnight cowboy one, is GORGEOUS, you do get fallout but thats expected with glitter. my fave colours are AC/DC, and all the blues on the bottom row.

Crème -MAC - Select SPF 15 Moistureblend [DISCONTINUED]
kizkad 9/29/2009 1:07:00 PM
i dont use the sponge provided with this foundation, i use my mac 190 brush, over a good primer (i use 'bad gal') by benefit, underneath this and it goes on smoothly, blends very nicely, and gives nice even coverage, the NW20 color matches very nice with my skin. and it is a BIT oily especially as my skin IS oily, but its nothing that a bit of translucent finishing powder wont solve. i really like this foundation and its nowhere near as greasy as my chanel vitalumiere

Eyeliner -MAC - Fluidline Eye-Liner Gel in Blacktrack
kizkad 9/29/2009 12:58:00 PM
i have been looking for the perfect liner to line my WATERLINE with! i have used everything in terms of pencils, and even pure kajal that came from the middle east, i did find some that gave a very pigmented, intense finish, but ten minutes after application i would be wiping globs of eyeliner from under my eyes as it would ALWAYS smudge. the best eyeliner pencil i did find is stila kajal in onyx but it sharpens terribly so i have given up on that now, i was in MAC the other day and decided to give this a try so i bought it along with a slanted brush, with careful application to the waterline (which the MA told me was perfectly safe) which involves dabbing onto the waterline to pack on the colour rather than sweeping, i got the perfect black line on my waterline, that did not budge all day long. it dried very quickly and granted, its not AS intense black as stila kajal, its very pigmented but the colour is not AS dark but that can be forgiven because i have FINALLY, after... how long.... 8 years of searching, have found something that stays put on my waterline, and doesnt turn into a greasy mess

Blush -NARS - Orgasm Blush
kizkad 9/29/2009 6:03:00 AM
what a beautiful blush! i was afraid it was going to be the same as my benefit coralista but this is more pinky than peachy with beautiful shiny shimmer which makes your cheeks glow with subtle colour. the colour payoff is really good and stays on for a long time, the colour is one of the most lovely i have come across and i will continue to repurchase this blush

Fragrances -Chanel - Coco

absolutely love this perfume it dries down to the most warm and comforting scent imaginable, its like autumn in a bottle, it is very pricey but my bottle will last a very long time as i only use HALF a squirt at a time which lasts me all day long and can be smelt from miles around. my favourite chanel fragrance

Blush -MAC - Satin Blush - Well Dressed
kizkad 9/17/2009 8:08:00 PM
my new all time fave blush i absolutely love it! im fair skinned and a few sweeps of this satin shimmery blush is all i need to make me look naturally flushed and cheeky pink, such a light gorgeous colour. dollymix is nice also but far too deep in colour and need to be very careful applying, this one is perfect. my HG blush

Fragrances -L'Occitane - Cherry Blossom Solid Perfume
kizkad 9/17/2009 7:35:00 PM
PROS: -very soft, clean, floral fragrance, smells so natural, not at all synthetic like the body shop version. - its very cheap and lasts ages, - the packaging is cute and its so small you can take it anywhere with you. - such a lovely, comforting fragrance which i find slightly nostalgic but i dont know why. CONS - not long lasting at all - doesnt smell one bit like cherries, which i dont mind really

Fragrances -Nina Ricci - Nina (New)
kizkad 9/16/2009 7:08:00 PM
PROS: - Gorgeous bottle - smells so lovely, like fresh candied apples and sugar sugar sugar - very long lasting - very unoffending, likeable fragrance - can get it for a very good price if you look around CONS: - very forgettable, could never be a HG for me - it is VERY easy to get sick of this perfume i think i should have worn it about once a month but i wore it on a daily basis and i got fed up very easily now its just sitting there looking pretty.

Fragrances -Giorgio Armani - Idole d'Armani
kizkad 9/16/2009 6:50:00 PM
ok i was waiting for someone to write a review on this first but no one has so im gonna go first. so we all know the armani perfumes are all classics, armani she, code, diamonds, theyre all great, staples in any perfume collection. i came across this new one while out shopping and because of the name, i knew it was going to be popular, so i gave it a try. it is the most gorgeous perfume i have ever smelled. and i have smelled a lot! this is the ultimate sweet perfume, but not gourmand, forget pink sugar, forget fantasy, forget all of those youthful sweet scents that the shelves are overflowing with, this is the most perfect sweet perfume, without being too sweet, perfect in every way, sweet in a very sophisticated way, this is what sweet aspires to. soft, long lasting, i will continue to repurchase this perfume, probably until i become pregnant again and my tastes do a 180 like they did last time. but for now, my new HG perfume

Fragrances -Donna Karan - Cashmere Mist
kizkad 9/16/2009 6:44:00 PM
well i will be very honest about MY opinion and thoughts on this perfume.... when i first sprayed it the first thing i thought of was, industrial cleaner that has been set alight (!) it smelt horrible and rancid. like burnt cleaning products. i kept sniffing my arm and screwing up my nose, BUT, after half an hour, after that horrible top note starts to fade, my nose was met with something very sweet and comforting, lovely like a warm woolly (or cashmere) jumper, it really has that comforting scent that would be perfect for the winter. i know im being a bit harsh giving only one lippie, but i just cannot forgive that first burst of nastiness. will not buy this perfume BUT i can understand why people love it so much

Loose Powders -MAC - Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder
kizkad 9/16/2009 6:38:00 PM
this product is really good, i have the oiliest skin, but when I applied this to my face all over after applying all my makeup, my skin stays matte and oil free for hours and hours, even when cooking and looking after a small baby, the packaging isnt THAT bad you just have to be very careful when using. the only one thing i will say is my nose felt less smoother after using this powder. but its worth it for keeping the oilies at bay. will repurchase
