Palettes -L.A. Colors - Aquatic Paradise
lilartistgrrl 2/16/2011 7:27:00 PM
Pigmentation: Most of them are pretty good if used with a sponge-tip applicator, brushes don't work too well. The light green and 2nd pink from the left are not very pigmented. Glitter: Some of them appear slightly shimmery in the pan, but are not once applied. Smell: None. Lasting Power: About 2 hours without a base. Texture: Moderately chalky. Value: The shadows are very nice quality for a dollar, but don't last long. If you want to experiment with bright colors, this is a good palette to use.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Whoosh Shower Jelly
lilartistgrrl 8/13/2010 2:39:00 PM
Pros: *You get a lot of uses out of it. *It smells great in the shower. *It's a lovely color and fun to use. *Bubbles up really well on a loofa. *The ingredients are mostly natural. *Wakes you up. Cons: *Kind of a pain to use, you have to get a chunk and put it on to a loofa for it to bubble up. *You have to be careful to keep it refrigerated or at least inside its container so it doesn't dry up or melt. *If you drop it in the shower it's really hard to pick it up again. *If you get it wet, it will quickly disintegrate. *The scent is only there in the shower, out it's completely gone. *The packaging is very basic, but I think that's a good thing. *The price is rather high. Overall: Made my showers a little more fun, but a finicky product with a scent that doesn't last.

Lip Gloss -C.O. Bigelow - Mentha Lip Shine
lilartistgrrl 9/2/2007 9:52:00 AM
Color/Pigmentation: Clear. Shine: Very very shiny when first applied. Glitter: None. Smell: Mint. Taste: Mint. One of the only lip glosses i've tried that tastes how it smells. Texture/Feel: A little on the thin side. Cooling/tingly. Lasting Power: About 30 mins. Shine wears off in about 5 mins. Moisturization: Very drying. Other: Tube is sticky and somehow gets dirt and everything else on it. This is honestly the worst part of it. I can not even stand using this up because of the nasty tube. Value: Bad. You get a good amount of product but the product itself is not worth the price.

Color/Pigmentation: Shimmery pink. Shows up as a slightly frosty shimmer on my moderately pigmented lips. Shine: Very shiny. Glitter: Moderately shimmery. Smell: I don't know what amaretto smells like, but this is sweet with a slight nuttiness. Very pleasant IMO. Taste: Chemical. Texture/Feel: Non-gritty, Moderate stickiness, Warming. Lasting Power: About 2 1/2 hours without eating/drinking. Moisturization: Moderate. Other: Limited Edition. Value: Moderate. This gloss is expensive and you don't get that much, but what you do get is absolutely lovely.
