Lipstick -Chanel - Como
meToo 5/10/2008 5:22:00 PM
Chanel Como is an Aqualumiere lipstick that is a lucious nude color with a faint, and I mean faint, hint of pink to make it a really natural fleshy nude. It has a small bit of shimmer such that you see a light spot on the bottom lip to make it look juicy. In my opinion, this is a new must have nude.

Lipstick -Laura Mercier - Marquise
meToo 10/8/2004 4:49:00 AM
This is a gorgeous, gorgeous lipstick! It is a deep red, having a bit of a brown base so that it's not a real bright red, but a gorgeous deep red. There is the teeeeeniest green shimmer in it. Green adds depth and dimension to a lip product when done in small amounts. It's perfect for this lipstick because it gives a fullness and shine to the lipstick. You wouldn't know that was there unless you engage in the study of lipstick...it just adds extra shine.
One of the best neutral type reds out there. A truly fabulous find.

Lipstick -MAC - True Couture (frost)
meToo 9/16/2004 11:13:00 PM
Very wearable color that many people are really going to like. It's a rosey color with pink iridensence. It's not a too bright red or anything, but almost a natural type of color. I am tempted to say there's a hint of terra cotta tone to it, but I suppose that's what you'd call a rose with a hint of earthiness.

Cool toned bright blue based red. Could be described as cherry in color. It is a very nice cherry red that is not toooooo bright. Not a color for everybody but a gorgeous red nonetheless.

Red Haute is a Lustre formula lipstick in a gorgeous wine color. It is the equivalent of a sheer Viva Glam 4. The same color but in a lustre formula.

Lip Gloss -Christian Dior - Addict Lipgloss- A Crackle of Silver
meToo 9/16/2004 10:54:00 PM
This is the whackiest lipgloss I've had, maybe ever. It has tones of purple, pink, grey, mauve, with iridescent violet and pink and silver hues. There is no way to describe the color of this gloss except to say it has all those tones and you can literally put this over ANYTHING to give a nifty different look.

I hate to give these glosses a bad rating, but they have an ingredient in them, (probably the fruit botanticals), that I had an extreme allergic reaction to. I have scaring on my lip that is taking months to get better and unfortunately, I am left with permanent disfigurement from these glosses. Dang it anyhow because all the colors are great.

This is a gorgeous shiney lilac with an odd taste. I mean it really tastes nasty. I passed it over the first time because of the taste. I went back for it because of the color. Unfortunately, it gave me horrible lip blisters.

This one is the yummiest buttercream I ever tasted and even tho you might think it would be just another clear gloss with glitter, it was the prettiest light micro-glittery gloss. Such a shame that it burned my lips.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Au Contraire
meToo 9/11/2004 3:19:00 AM
This is a rich true velvet purple color. It doesn't have blue undertones which can be harsh because they amplify my undereye circles, and it's not a pink or red toned purple, like Nocturnelle. Just a true rich purple that reminds me of royalty. Use with abandon....and I've never been able to do that with purple before. Fabulous as a liner, too. NW25, green eyes.

Palettes -MAC - Tease Me eyeshadow x4 palette
meToo 9/11/2004 3:16:00 AM
I've listened to a lot of people on the board saying Mac just puts out the same colors all the time with different names. I've considered that theory and when I first gazed at the Tease Me palette, I thought it was very similar to Perverted Pearl, nearly a clone. Upon application, however, I found them to be quite different and I am SO GLAD that I gave this palette a chance rather than poo-poo'ing it as a knock off of other colors.
Seedy Pearl. I confess, I swapped every other Seedy Pearl I had because I thought it was useless to me. Wrong!!! It's delightful and I'm glad it was included in this palette since I didn't have it.
Parisienne is a gorgeous light shimmery lavender. Really GORGEOUS. This color alone is worth the price of the palette to me. I have green eyes but don't generally wear purples because I've had such conflict with them and the undereye circles. This color brings me into a purple haze that I don't want to or need to recover from. It's such a delicate purple that you can use as a highlight anywhere on the eye. Maybe I'm over-emphasizing it, but this is truly a wonderous color to me/on me. Not like Crystal or Digit on me. Truly unique.
A smokey tealed grey and a blackened grey. Again, unique colors among my greys and they work so well with the other two colors.

Palettes -MAC - Tempt Me x 4 (Tempt Me/Tease Me 2004)
meToo 9/11/2004 3:08:00 AM
Can I rate this a 10? Every day that I wear this quad, especially the olivey/old gold type color, people stop me and ask what shadow I'm wearing and how I did it. No kidding.
The peachy color, (Modelette), makes a fabulous coordinating blush with the shimmering khaki-gold, (Girl Meets Boy), lid and the golden white,(Pleasurepurr), as a highlight. I use the taupe to line, or use the sparkling Mover Shaker from the Warm Printout eye palette as a liner.
The names of the shadows don't really mean anything to me, so I don't really remember them so far, but the golden khaki is about the prettiest eyeshadow I've ever used. Or at least the most interesting based on the amazing amount of compliments and inquiries I get when wearing it.
I'd love to see Modelette made into a blush, perhaps slightly more pigmented, but that exact color.

This is one of my top 10 favorite lipsticks ever. A neutral to warm browny-rosey-berry color that is going to be great on so many people. Thankfully, this lustre isn't as sheer as most, has a little more pigmentation, which makes this lipstick TOTALLY ROCK!! It is so gorgeous, you've simply got to try it!!!!
