Lip Treatments -Nuxe - Baume Prodigieux Levres Protective Lip Balm - Gloss Effect SPF 15
maan84 2/4/2013 4:38:00 AM
This is a nice lip gloss. I bought it in the color "Legendaire Pink". It's a nice soft pink color, very natural looking. The lip gloss is very moisturizing and I like the fact that it has SPF 15 protection. It has a fruity-floral scent to it but it's not overpowering at all. I'd definitely repurchase!

Eye Shadow -Clinique - Color Surge Duo in Like Mink
maan84 11/2/2012 4:16:00 PM
I got this duo eye shadow in a GWP. The colors are very neutral and highly wearable. However, the color pay-off is not that good. Compared to other Clinique eye shadows I have the color pay-off when it comes to "Like Mink" is very poor actually. I reach for it on days when I want just a tiny bit of eye shadow, and the color pay-off even buggs me a bit on those days. I'd say go for a neutral eye shadow palette with a better color pay-off, saves time in the morning!

Polishes -Isadora - Wonder nail - 744 Ancient Ruby
maan84 11/2/2012 4:11:00 PM
Ancient Ruby is part of the fall/winter 2012 collection. It's a dark rusty red color. The name suits the color well. It's a very dark red, suitable for fall.
The quality is great. Easy application. Two coats provides good coverage. Lasting power is pretty good. The only downside is the wide brush which is a bit awkward to use. In addition, the color itself is not that unique. I have a few other reds which I like more. Therefore I woulnd't repurchase this particular color.

maan84 11/2/2012 4:08:00 PM
Persian Princess is part of the fall/winter 2012 collection. It's a lovely purple color, a cool metalic purple. It's a unique color, very eye-catching and "different".
The quality is great. Easy application. Two coats provides good coverage. Lasting power is pretty good. The only downside is the wide brush which is a bit awkward to use. Since I'm a fan of purple I'd repurchase!

Orient Express is part of the fall/winter 2012 collection. It's a lovely deep red. Very classic and "Christmas-like" color.
The quality is great. Easy application. Two coats provides good coverage. Lasting power is pretty good. The only downside is the wide brush which is a bit awkward to use. Plus this color is really not that unique. I have a few other reds which I like more.

Polishes -Isadora - Wonder nail - 731 Silver Sky
maan84 11/2/2012 4:05:00 PM
Silver Sky is a silver-blue color with lots of fine multicolored shimmer. It's a unique color, though the silver-blue (almost grey-toned) is not my cup of tea even though it's "different".
The quality is great. Easy application. Two coats provides good coverage. Lasting power is pretty good. The only downside with the packaging is the wide brush which is a bit awkward to use. I would not repurchase since I'm not a fan of the color.

Palettes -MAC - A Tartan Tale: Dashing Lassie Eye Palette
maan84 7/28/2012 2:09:00 PM
This palette is great if you are looking for some brown and neutral shades. They are very versatile. It's a great palette to take on trips. However, none of the shades are really unique and I have a bunch of dupes in my collection so it's nothing unique about this palette. As always with MAC eye shadows the quality is fantastic. Easy to apply, great texture and awesome staying power.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Blackberry Eyeshadow
maan84 7/28/2012 2:05:00 PM
I'm not crazy about "Blackberry" I had expected something more purple. This one is a muted purple and not the purple color I prefer. However, since it's MAC the quality is pretty good. However, it could be a bit more pigmented. My other eye shadows from the brand are much more pigmented. I would not repurchase this color.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Pigment in Melon
maan84 7/28/2012 2:02:00 PM
"Melon" is a very versatile color, goes with pretty much anything. However, I am not that fond of loose pigments that's why I haven't reached for this pigment much. It's such a hassle to apply with the powder falling all over the face. I am often in a rush when applying makeup which I think can contribute to my non-fondness of loose eye shadows. However, apart from that little fact this is a very good pigment. Versatile color and excellent quality. In addition, you get a lot of pigment for your money. It will last you quite some time.

Lip Treatments -The Body Shop - Born Lippy - Pomegranate

I love the Born Lippy lip balm/treatments from TBS. They are super soft and smooth and lovely scents. This one is no exception. For a lip balm the staying power is pretty good. I like the packaging it's cute and functional. Lovely product overall!!

Lip Liners -Unlisted Brand - Make Up Store - Lippencil - Hot Pink
maan84 7/28/2012 1:56:00 PM
This is a hot pink lippencil/liner which I bought to wear as an all over lip color not as a lip liner. I never wear lip liner. However, the color is not right for the (it's the wrong pink) and also it's a bit drying. I wouldn't repurchase.

Lipstick -MAC - Sheen Supreme Lipstick - Behave Yourself
maan84 7/28/2012 1:53:00 PM
"Behave Yourself" is a cool cotton candy pink color. Unfortunately the color does not look good on me. I have to apply it really subtle in order to be able to pull it off. The finish also looks a little patchy and uneven on me. It's a purchase I regret.

Gels/Soaps -The Body Shop - Coconut Bath and Shower Cream
maan84 7/28/2012 1:45:00 PM
Coconut is a lovely subtle scent from TBS. It smells very natural and not artificial. I bought a big bottle of this shower cream on sale. I would not purchase the soap for the original price since I think it's a bit too expensive for a simple soap. I prefer to spend my money on other beauty products and am quite the cheapskate when it comes to soap-products. The only downside with this product, if you are after a more lathery soap, is that it's creamy not very lathery.

Lipstick -Clinique - Almost Lipstick - Chic Honey
maan84 7/28/2012 1:39:00 PM
"Chic Honey" is a more berry version of the famous "Black Honey". "Chic Honey" is the perfect shade for ladies with cool skintone. I love both "Black Honey" and "Chic Honey". I prefer the second mentioned in the spring and summer time because of its more berry/pink-ish shade. It's the lipstick I reach for most often, I would definitely repurchase over and over again. Love it!
