Lipstick -Unlisted Brand - L'bel - Couleur Luxe Supreme XP Lipstick
medusacanibal 10/15/2011 9:35:00 PM
This product's description says that it is long lasting... and it definitely is. It applies smoothly and has a creamy satin finish. After a time of wearing it, it turns into a gorgeous stain but with the same intensity and color of the original application. The stain last so long that even after trying to remove it with an oil-based makeup remover, and sleeping, you can still see a trace of it. It doesn't dry the lips because it's moisturizing, and has SPF 8. L'bel changed the design of the tube and the name of it. I have the old one, and the shade is "Harmonie" (a berry-like fuchsia).

Lipstick -Maybelline - Color Sensational 145 Plaza Pink
medusacanibal 10/15/2011 9:17:00 PM
Perfect for everyday use! I use this when I don't want my lips to be bare but I don't want to apply a vibrant and/or bold lipstick (I only have reds, bright pinks, and violets, and in-betweens). It's creamy and moisturizing yet it has a lovely pink neutral tone.

Lip Liners -Unlisted Brand - Real Colors - Hydra Lips Waterproof Gel Lip Liner
medusacanibal 10/15/2011 9:06:00 PM
I bought this at Sally's in "Petal to the Metal", a matte dark hot pink/fuchsia. I have used it several times, mostly as a base with Illamasqua's Corrupt lipstick on top (some people has given me compliments when I'm using this combination), and it works really well. It is definitely waterproof and has a smooth application. Can't wait to try other products by this brand!

Mascara -Maybelline - Volum' Express The Colossal
medusacanibal 10/15/2011 8:54:00 PM
An average product. Not the best, not the worst. It does work with the volume of the lashes but it is clumpy and doesn't last much in a hot and humid weather like the one I have to experience every day (sucks to live in the tropics).

Mascara -Rimmel - The Max Bold Curves
medusacanibal 10/15/2011 8:49:00 PM
Very liquid formula. Doesn't separate the lashes. Doesn't last. It's clumpy. The curved brush is uncomfortable when applying (at least for my eye). I stopped using it because it did nothing for my lashes, only a little bit of tint.

Mascara -Sephora - Advanced Lash Booster
medusacanibal 10/15/2011 8:42:00 PM
I was looking for a new mascara after many failures with cheap ones. Originally I was going to buy Sephora's Lash Plumper (I have used it before and I liked the results) but, as always, I took my time reading all products’ descriptions and ended up with this one. For my surprise, I am utterly satisfied with the results even though my lashes don't seem to be longer than they were (I don't care about that). I love how this mascara works with my lashes, giving volume and extension and even a little curl without clumps or looking overly done. It gives that perfect natural but beautiful finish that I love in mascaras. The brush is a generic one (thankfully because I hate curved ones). It's easy to remove and its lasting power is really good.

I bought the non-waterproof one and I hate it. I stopped using it. It was a waste of money.

Lipstick -Illamasqua - Corrupt

Gorgeous bright blue pink; extremely matte and opaque! Definitely not for everyone because it is so bold (and you should know how to wear it). I love it!

Lipstick -Illamasqua - Kontrol
medusacanibal 10/15/2011 7:54:00 PM
"Kontrol" is a creamy deep blue violet with a satin finish. It has a little shimmer but it's almost unnoticeable and it disappears easily. Depending on the layers you apply, it's the type of lip product you get: it goes from a sheer blueish stain to a deep violet moisturizing lip color. It's very versatile and different from other Illamasqua's lipsticks. If you're into violet lips, you must try this one!

Eyes -Illamasqua - Cream Pigment in Hollow
medusacanibal 10/15/2011 7:42:00 PM
This is a highly pigmented cream with a grayish neutral tone. The texture is SUPER creamy; blendable and easy to apply. The best thing about it is that you can use it on the eyes, cheeks and lips! I still haven't used it as a blush/highlighter because I'm not so fond of those... The only thing that disappointed me a bit was the lasting power considering that it says "water-resistant", and it creases a little. I love it though.

Great for a fast, daily cleanse... not for deep cleansing. Looking for something just like this but cheaper.

Eye Primer -Palladio - Herbal Eyeshadow Primer
medusacanibal 1/10/2011 8:42:00 PM
Not the best package for this kind of product but overall, this primer works really well. It makes my eyeshadows last a lot longer, make them look bright and vibrant, easy to apply, just a little bit works a long way... ah, I like it a lot!

Lip Treatments -Burt's Bees - Rejuvenating Lip Balm with Acai Berry
medusacanibal 1/10/2011 8:30:00 PM
Feels great; smells great. Love the purple cap of the tube and how easily it does its job. Burt's Bees always enthralls me with their lip balms. Definitely recommend it.

Mascara -Sephora - Lash Plumper
medusacanibal 1/10/2011 8:24:00 PM
Like everyone else, I got a sample of this as a birthday gift from Sephora. At first, I was skeptic because I got bored of mascara with a brush-like applicator instead of the latex one. BUT this mascara changed my mind again. It's pretty good for volume... and I wish it did more with my curl! I would buy it if it were a little cheaper? (I think it's silly to spend a lot of money on mascaras.)

Bronzers -Rimmel - Natural Bronzer- 21 Sun Light
medusacanibal 1/10/2011 8:13:00 PM
Nice cheap product. Great for contouring. It has a little bit of shimmer, almost unnoticeable. I haven't used it as a tanner because I like looking pale! But it's true that if you use too much of it, you can look orange.
