Liquid -Shiseido - The Makeup Dual Balancing Foundation SPF 17
liquidfir 3/19/2010 8:28:00 AM
The price of this product - a 30ml bottle is honestly on the expensive side. Coverage is average but buildable as well. it doesnt look cakey on me upon application, matches my skin tone exactly. easy to apply. i have very oily skin especially T-zone and cheeks, after i apply the foundation, i also apply mac's oily control loose powder. my skin starts to get oily after a mere 2 hrs and needless to say at the end of the day, due to the oiliness the foundation smudges and sinks into the fine lines of the face. and yes it looks cakey afterwards. i would recommend this foundation to ppl without oily skin. it does give my face a nice grow - not a satin finish. more like a finish between matte and satin. it doesnt look too dead matte. i sorta wish it would be a little bit better for oil control but again i would buy it again for the color match, finish and the blend-ability

Eye Shadow -MAC - Paint Pot in Pharaoh (Alexander McQueen coll.)
liquidfir 7/18/2008 3:40:00 PM
i love love this paint pot. i dont usually like paint pot because i crease badly without a base (i swear my life on UDPP) but i had to have this green base paintpot. a light coat on the eyelids will go a long way. it makes ALL green tone e/s or pigments pop. it doesnt matter whether it is dark like humid or light like charetuse it juz makes aNYYY green pop. i swear on this, and the best part is i got it as a present LOL.

Lipstick -MAC - Vivacious
liquidfir 7/18/2008 3:37:00 PM
not exactly a must have lip color. i dont like deep dark colors myself so i like this color because it comes off quite sheer. i use this lipstick over nude lipstick to give the nude lip color a light tone/shade of pink. and then add lipgloss over it. but i dont think i'd like to use this color alone

Lipstick -MAC - Pink Plaid
liquidfir 7/18/2008 3:34:00 PM
i got this brand new from a sale for like 8 bucks, this is a matte blue tone pink. if u have slightly yellowish skin tone like myself. this is not the BEST color for u. still wearable but i just find the color slightly out of place on my skin tone. and u can never wear this lipstick ALONE> it will look like someone paste pink clay over the lips and that clay got dry somehow. LOL. always use this color with a lipgloss. i use it with a clear lipgloss always. just like we always use it with nude matte colors. same goes here

Eyeliner -MAC - Fluidline - Haunting - Lure Collection
liquidfir 7/18/2008 3:32:00 PM
i think this would be perfect as a paint pot instead of a liner. i do use it as an e/s base. because the texture is too creamy for it to be a liner. i only use this as a highlight on the tear duct and thatz about it. but the lasting power is there. however i wont be getting it again

Eyeliner -MAC - Fluidline Eye-Liner Gel in Blacktrack
liquidfir 7/18/2008 3:27:00 PM
one of the best gel liners i ever got. doesnt smudge~ doesnt budge. even on the waterline (i know we are not suppose to use it on the waterline but HEYYY i do) just get use to a tiny brush (i just pick up any thin tiny synthetic paint brush at a craft store for 1 dollar) it gets weird at 1st but u will get use to it and the technique to drawing the line gets better ^^ the results are definitely worth it disadvantage, if u leave it alone for too long, it gets abit dry. when that happens, i spray my brush with abit of fix plus or mixing medium. ^^

Highlighters -MAC - Mineralize Skinfinish in Petticoat [DISCONTINUED]
liquidfir 7/18/2008 3:23:00 PM
i got it for like 40 bucks? LOLL. yea yea blame me for not getting it when it 1st came out. this is my fav cheek color after alpha girl. the peachy pink color is great when applied lightly. dont get too heavy handed light skinned tone ladies.~~ ^^ u will look like u got punched in the cheeks if u get too heavy handed because this msf is soooooo pigmented (in a good way) the glitter / shimmer are NOT chunky. i have acne prone skin, nc 20 normally shimmer just emphasize the acne scars but this doesnt.

Highlighters -MAC - Barbie-Pearl Blossom
liquidfir 6/18/2008 11:12:00 AM
i got this powder because it was cheap LOL yeap i got it from a sale for $12. itz the only barbie collection i've got. i was totally surprised by this product. i got it because 1. itz cheap. 2. i just wanted to get something from the barbie collection itz a silvery pinkish tone. great as a highlighter in my opinion. i love this more than MSFs. some msf contain chunky shimmer and it tends to emphasize acne scars or acne. this powder is fine enough to not emphasize my acne scars. love it. i am a nc20, it is pinkish enough to give me a light glow but not a full tone blusher. i use it over alpha girl beauty powder. it gives my cheek a sheer shimmer/highlight. love it ^^
