Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup
lorien 1/28/2004 11:25:00 PM
I love Revlon Colorstay foundation. I wear Buff and it's the greatest match among my big pile of foundations. It doesn't come off at all and stays put all day. Whenever I wear it, people say I have gorgeous skin, but indeed I don't :)

Liquid -Almay - Almay Amazing Lasting Foundation ] [DISCONTINUED]
lorien 1/28/2004 11:22:00 PM
I compared its ingredients with Revlon Color Stay and they are 98% similar. But Almay offers better colors. Fortunately, I found a great match from both Almay and Revlon. Both of them are quite comparable with EL Double Wear.

Lip Liners -Wet 'n' Wild - #666 liner

If you're tempted to WnW lip liners, be sure to get Made in France or Brazil. They are smooth and well pigmented, not waxy but creamy. However, if you get some others, you'll be deeply disappointed. Personally, I prefer NYC and Jordana l/l to WnW.

Loose Powders -Ben Nye - luxury powder in visage
lorien 1/6/2004 3:19:00 PM
I have Ben Nye Visage Powder in Banana, Cameo, Buff, and Beige. They are super duper great. Silky soft, finely milled and absorb oil but not too drying. Looks natural but not like many other loose powders, it definitely makes my skin look so much better. Check wyb.com.

Blush -Jane - Blushing Glow Blush
lorien 12/8/2003 8:39:00 PM
It's not a look-alike for Orgasm on my fair skin(nc 20-30 depeding on seasons). However, it still is gorgeous peach blush. It'll work great on yellow undertones.

Lotions/ Creams -Eucerin - Original Moisturizing Creme
lorien 12/2/2003 5:56:00 AM
Super duper thick moisturizer. I got it for my baby but found that unrefined shea butter worked for him much better. So I use it on my feet, elbow, etc. I prefer Nivea creme or Cetaphil to it.

Cleansers -Eucerin - Gentle Hydrating Cleanser

For my normal to slightly oily/dry skin, it doesn't do any miracle. Not a bad cleanser, but not impressive.

Lip Gloss -Estee Lauder - Pure Color Gloss

I really like it except painful price. Glossy, but not too sticky. Gorgeous colors, but not too oldish. Package is cute but tends to be broken easily.

Liquid -Estee Lauder - Double Matte
lorien 12/2/2003 5:50:00 AM
I love this. It gives me long lasting, medium coverage, but natural matte finish. The trick is applying with fingertips. I found that if you wear it, along with Double Wear, with a brush or a sponge, it tends to be worn cakey and unevenly.

Treatments -Estee Lauder - Idealist

What a waste of money! It gave me huge bumps on my chin, nose(yuck), and forehead. Feels silky, but silky with painful huge bumps are not good.

Liquid -Estee Lauder - Double Wear

Thank you, thank you, Estee Lauder! I love you for Double Wear and Double Matte!
Double Wear is a goddess-send for fellow Asian girls with oily-combo skin. If you have dry patches all over, it's not for you. But long-lasting yet non-masky look is your goal, you gotta have it.

Liquid -Estee Lauder - Equalizer

I hate it. How can one call it smart when a foundation makes my oily t-zone look greasy but cheeks feel tight. I'm a sucker for EL foundations, but not this.

Moisturizers -Estee Lauder - Daywear Cream SPF15

I like it a lot. It's an adequate sunscreen for slightly oily-dry combo girls like me. Not a cheapie, but worths what you pay.

Lip Gloss -Bloom - Lip Gloss

I love them! I have 7~8 shades and really love all of them. Glossy but not very sticky like MAC lipglasses. Nice neutral shades with gorgeous shine.

I have several lipglasses and am quite satisfied. Can't say they are the best, but still like them a lot.
