Fragrances -Hanae Mori - Butterfly EDT
lemarais88 7/15/2010 7:37:00 PM
This is my signature fragrance and is very special to me since I used it on my wedding day. It's a sweet calming scent that's gentle (won't give anyone a headache). I LOVE it!

Powder -MAC - Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light Medium [DISCONTINUED]
lemarais88 7/15/2010 7:34:00 PM
This is a great powder foundation that doesn't cause any breakouts for me to my relief (I have combo skin) :) The compact will last for quite some time. I was using Bare Minerals before; I liked it except it was messy to use :( so I bought this MAC PF instead. I will probably stick to it from now on :) I only wish the compact came with a mirror and a hidden brush underneath so it would be more convenient to use during travels.

Tinted Moisturizer -Amore Pacific - Moisture Bound Tinted Treatment Moisturizer SPF 15
lemarais88 7/15/2010 7:28:00 PM
This is the only liquid foundation I will use since it's so light, provides good coverage, and offers SPF protection too. When I do use it, I will brush on a thin layer of face powder to help set it. I have oily skin but it doesn't make my skin more oily. To use this TM, I dot it around my face and use a synthetic brush for blending. Sometimes I will use my fingers to blend it. A little bit goes a long way which is good since it's kind of expensive.

Styling Products -Victoria's Secret - So Sexy Smoothing Shine Serum
lemarais88 7/15/2010 7:23:00 PM
I'm nuts about this product and have gone through many many bottles since I've been using this product ever since it was introduced. It does a great job in softening my hair without making it feel greasy and I can easily comb my hair after a shower (my hair is very prone to tangles). I don't have to use very much of this product; a little goes a long way. I only use it on my ends. I only wish the bottle was made of plastic instead of glass since I'm afraid of breaking it by accident.

Lip Treatments -LUSH - Bubblegum Lip Scrub
lemarais88 7/15/2010 7:18:00 PM
This product is a decent exfoliator but my lips have not been that chapped this winter so I can't really attest to how it may help very chapped cracked lips. The scent/taste is pleasant like candy. It's a bit messy to use so I always have to hover over my sink when I apply this to my lips; I use it mostly at night. The product is packed really tight so it looks like I haven't made much of a dent in it though I use it fairly often. I have all the different flavored lip scrubs and love all of them except for the messiness.

lemarais88 7/15/2010 7:09:00 PM
I have sensitive dry scalp and this has been an amazing product for me. I love the scent too :) I have bought back-ups already because I love it so much. Korres sometimes has generous offers for this product yippeeee. I really wish Korres would make a corresponding Sunflower conditioner!

Lip Treatments -SoftLips - French Vanilla spf 15
lemarais88 7/15/2010 7:06:00 PM
I am crazy about SLs in general and have collected quite a few flavors already. Why are the flavors so difficult to find :(? Very moisturing, nicely scented, I use this throughout the day but mostly at night or when my lips are a bit chapped. They come in great flavors (something for everyone). They are the best chapsticks I've tried.

Lip Gloss -Lancome - Lancome Juicy Tubes
lemarais88 7/15/2010 7:02:00 PM
I've used JTs for many years now and love them. The packaging allows for simple application with its whistle tip (don't even need a mirror), comes in a variety of awesome colors, I do love the sweet scent. The only drawback is that it's a bit sticky; my hubby has complained a little and also not great when you are riding in a car with the windows down and your hair is flying all over the place (hair sticking to lips) :(.

Primer/ Corrector -Guerlain - Meteorites Perles Light Diffusing Perfecting Primer
lemarais88 7/15/2010 6:55:00 PM
This is the best primer I've ever tried. I have combo skin so I always worry if something's too oily or makes my skin look/feel oily. No worries with this product! It really gives my skin a natural dewy look and I love the way it feels on my skin. Wish it wasn't that expensive : / but a little goes a very very long way. Makes the makeup that I use really last throughout the day. I get sooo many compliments about how great my skin looks everytime I wear this. Love Meteorites :)!

Bronzers -Guerlain - Terracotta Light Sheer Bronzing Powder- Brunette 02
lemarais88 7/15/2010 6:50:00 PM
I love Guerlain's bronzers, especially this mosaic one :) I sometimes use it as a blush and have received many compliments because it looks so natural. The product has great lasting power. I wish Guerlain's products were less expensive. All of Guerlain's packaging is gorgeous; no contest there!

Lipstick -Rimmel - Moisture Renew Lipstick
lemarais88 7/15/2010 6:44:00 PM
My favorite color has been Summer Angel (very popular this summer so it was difficult for me to find). I own most of the neutrals and pinks. Really love them! Great staying power, the scent is so-so and sort of retro to me (I like L'Oreal lipstick scents more for some reason), comes in great colors- something for everyone, very moisturizing, and I'm in love with the shiny violet purple packaging although that's not the most important thing to me but it's a plus :)

Eyeliner -L'Oreal - HIP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner in Brown
lemarais88 7/15/2010 6:38:00 PM
Love this product! Easy to apply with a liner brush, non-smudge, dries almost immediately, brown= softer look. Great product which has made me change my mind about eyeliners. I used to use pencils that tended to hurt because they were a bit dry :(. The only pencils I would consider using are the Urban Decay 24/7s.

Concealers -BeneFit Cosmetics - Boi-ing
lemarais88 7/15/2010 6:31:00 PM
This concealer does a very good job in concealing under-eye circles and small blemishes for me. I tend to apply it with a synthetic brush or my fingers. Many times I will use finishing powder to help it blend into my skin so it looks more natural. I wish the compact was a flip top with a mirror but oh well.

Brows -Paul & Joe - Eyebrow Pencil Duo Brun (02)
lemarais88 7/15/2010 6:27:00 PM
I've tried many eyebrow pencil brands but this is the best one! Non-smudging in any weather (very important to me), looks natural, two-tone color for added choice, and a plus that it's packaging is so pretty :) The only other one I would consider is by Korres.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast
lemarais88 7/15/2010 6:22:00 PM
I have used many different brands throughout the years, from L'Oreal, NARS, Guerlain, YSL, Christian Dior, to Chanel but I've decided to stick to CG Lash Blast for these reasons: non-clumping, easy to remove at night, great coverage, love the way my lashes look :), the wand stays moist, easy to find, and reasonably priced as compared to other brands. I also love CG Fusion mascara.
