My HG moisturizer!!!! I have dry, sensitive skin thats reactive to allergies. I get dry painful patches on my cheeks under my cheekbones. I first tried out LRP Hydraphase cuz it didbt have a strong scent and i love it, however,i love this Toleriane Ultra more since it healed my skin after A bad allergy attack i had in Lake Tahoe. I will def repurchase!!!!!!

Eyeliner -NYX - Felt Tip Eyeliner Pencil
lboogy 3/3/2011 7:38:00 PM
The one product in my arsenal that I simply cannot live without. I'm one of those people that just has an absolute hard time putting on eyeliner. Even the professional artist that did my the makeup for my wedding mentioned that it has to do with my eye shape. Even though I wanted to slap her across the face for making me feel like I had "alien eyes", I realized she was right. I usually end up triple piling my eyeliner and it's always super thick. Ulta was having a BOGO sale on NYX products so I picked up two of these eyeliners and I havent looked back since. It's the eyeliner I reach for to perfect any squiggle lines from using other eyeliners

Lip Gloss -NYX - Mood Lip Gloss
lboogy 3/3/2011 7:33:00 PM
Picked this item up at Ulta. Reminds me of Smashbox O gloss but without the sting. The color didnt exactly come out like what what was advertised on the picture but I didnt expect it to. It probably has to do with individual body chemistry. Overall, I am satisfied with this product and for $4.99, why not?

Masks -Queen Helene - Mint Julep Masque
lboogy 1/19/2010 1:39:00 AM
This product burned my sensitive skin. I had red irritated patches for days. My hubby has darker,oily skin so I begged him to try it because I was anxious to see the results. Cant believe he obliged. He loved it because his skin instantly glowed immediately after he rinsed off.

Top/Base Coats -Essie - Protein Base Coat
lboogy 1/19/2010 1:35:00 AM
Love this! Discovered at Nordstrom spa. My manicurist swears by this stuff. I've been using it for several years and it works great for my weak, pealing nails. Provides strength and the perfect opaque white shade camouflages my imperfect fingernails.

Polishes -MAC - Light Affair
lboogy 1/19/2010 1:31:00 AM
LOVE THIS!!! This is the perfect color for me. I've been looking for this darn polish since I saw it in INSTYLE mag. It's sold out everywhere including mac.com. Not one bottle left in any of the Mac counters or stores . Luckily, I was able to get it on nordstrom.com. I was a bit annoyed at the $8 shipping charge though. All in all, it's the perfect shade short but clean manicure. No shimmer, which I like. I hope I can find this bottle again in store in the future.

Makeup Brushes -MAC - #165 Contouring Brush [DISCONTINUED]
lboogy 12/17/2009 4:03:00 AM
For about a week I was on a massive search for this brush. I went to every MAC counter within a 10 mile radius. I even called the pro store in the city. This brush was nowhere to be found because it was a limited edition brush. I was about to continue my search online when I called the MAC counter at Bloomies. They had one left and held it for me. When I picked up the brush I immediately fell in love with it. It's perfect tapered shape is great for applying blush and applying highlight under the eyes. One of my new favs

Love the smell of this finishing silk dust. I never leave home without a puff on my face. It also freshens up my brushes with a rosy scent. Love it.

Misc Beauty Tools -beautyblender - the sponge
lboogy 12/15/2009 6:45:00 PM
The bomb! I love this sponge. I normally use my fingers or MAC's 187 brush to stipple on liquid foundation. With this sponge I literally use less than 1/2 the product I used to with the same coverage. The only downside is that I have to wash the sponge after every use, but I do the same with the 187 brush anyway. If you didnt pick up with cleanser, you can use Phil purity foam cleanser b/c it gets all the makeup out of the sponge. Before I picked up the BB, I purchased the Sonia Kashuk purple face sponge and I like that sponge too but that dense sponge is no comparison to the light soft feel of the BB. Follow the tips, wet the sponge first and squeeze it out on a dry towel then apply foundation. Works like a charm

Makeup Brushes -NARS - Eye Shader Brush 03
lboogy 12/15/2009 6:36:00 PM
Picked up this new brush as Sephora last week. I was so excited to add it to my collection so i threw out the packaging and added the brush to my pro roll. I tested it out today and OMG, it stinks. Literally smells like a wet dog. I have more than 50 natural brushes and not one of them smell as bad as this one. Since I tossed out the packaging I cant return it and I just noticed that the metal is engraved with "made in china". Ugh, really? This brush was $55. Now I have to suck it up and deal with this so in the mean time, I've washed it and I plan on dusting it with my jurlique rose powder to mask the stench.

Other -Shu Uemura - ALL PRODUCTS
lboogy 12/15/2009 6:13:00 PM
Finally picked up the Shu Uemura Pure Kolinsky Eyeshadow brush #15. By far the most expensive brush in my collection. I absolutely love it. Very soft and luxe. Almost has the feel of a synthetic brush but it pick up my eye powder and distributes the perfect amount of color with each swipe.

Misc Beauty Tools -Sonia Kashuk - Blending Sponge
lboogy 12/3/2009 4:48:00 PM
Just picked mine up from Target a couple days ago. I've been holding out to purchase the beautyblender because I hear its amazing This sponge has helped me transition to liquid foundation. I always felt like liquid was too heavy for my skin but this sponge works wonders for blending. Only problem I'm having is the cleaning process. I've used 1/4 bottle of the mac brush cleaner and that did nothing so i found an old travel sized bottle of baby shampoo. It seems to work but I like my brushes/sponges squeaky clean so I bit the bullet and purchased the beautyblender kit at drugstore.com which includes the sponge cleanser which is supposedly an awesome cleanser.

Great colors! Beautiful pigmentation. I love it! Too bad the packaging sucks, then again who cares, it's just packaging.
