Lipstick -MAC - Faux (satin)
minuit999 12/27/2007 4:41:00 PM
One of my favorite winter colors. I pair this with MAC's Subculture lipliner, and get a nice pale, matte pink color that doesn't look too overdone, but is noticeably there.

Cleansers -Chanel - Lait Tendre
minuit999 12/27/2007 4:32:00 PM
I have been using this cleanser for a while and I love it, but I have to remove a lippy because it's so darn expensive. It removes make up well and can be tissued or rinsed off; sometimes I'll wash twice just to make sure my face is really clean. It does not dry out my face and is incredibly gentle.

Lip Gloss -Chanel - Magnifique Glossimer 83
minuit999 7/14/2007 12:36:00 AM
The perfect pink gloss! I am Asian with olive skin and was worried this would be too light for me-but in fact it's perfect. It's one of the few glosses I can wear alone-without any lipliner (though if you must, I recommend MAC Subculture as a subtle partner). It has no fragrance nor taste, commonly found in other high end glosses. Great for daytime or a subtle lip paired with a dark, dramatic eye.

Lip Gloss -Chanel - Icerose glossimer
minuit999 7/14/2007 12:17:00 AM
Beautiful gloss that can be worn alone or with liner (I use Subculture by MAC so the color of the gloss still comes through, but it has something to adhere to). Pinky mauve with lots of shimmer-great for evening. When it fades, as all glosses eventually do, it leaves behind a pretty glitter so your lips don't look too naked.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Stars N Rockets
minuit999 6/4/2006 12:21:00 AM
I've been searching for a fun hot pink eye shadow for some time, and I've finally found it! I wear Stars N Rockets on my brow boned (paired with Stila's Mambo on the lids) and makes my eyes look very playful. Not a color for the feint of heart.

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre in Hug Me
minuit999 6/4/2006 12:12:00 AM
I was looking for a basic every day pretty lip color that I could apply on the go without a fuss-one that was also work appropriate. Hug me is perfect-it's a pinky nude that works well with Subculture lipliner. The Lustre texture gives it the subltest gloss. Taking off one lippy since it doesn't have great staying power.

Lip Liners -MAC - Subculture
minuit999 4/30/2006 7:07:00 PM
Subculture is a great pinky mude lipliner-your lips but better. I wear it alone or with Hug Me lipstick and it looks great both ways. I was looking for something not quite as dark as Spice and more pink than Stripdown. One of my favorite liners from MAC.

Lip Liners -MAC - Cremestick Liner - Beurre
minuit999 10/11/2005 11:22:00 PM
Like Spice but more pinky/purplish. Good staying power and very nice, creamy consistency. I wear it with Faux and Syrup. A nice liner you can reach for over and over again and always goes on nicely

Lipstick -MAC - Velvet Teddy
minuit999 10/11/2005 11:18:00 PM
Very pale, matte nude-good for winter. Looks good with dark colored hair and either Stripdown or Spice lipliner. For nighttime i like to wear it with a shiny lipgloss. Only reason why i took off a lippy is because in photographs it makes me look very washed out if i'm not wearing good blush/strong eyes. Also, I just recently discovered Faux which gives me the same pale, matteness but with a pretty pink tone to it.

Lip Gloss -NARS - Lip Lacquer in Chelsea Girls
minuit999 9/21/2005 3:20:00 AM
I LOVE this lip lacquer-I wear it with Stila #8 (can also be worn with MAC Stripdown) and it's the perfect pretty neutral pinky brown. For nighttime I add extra shine using with Lip Venom-I get lots of compliments on the combo. I have dark brown hair with olive skintones and am typically averse to too pale lip color, but combined with the right liner this makes my lips looks full and natural.

Mascara -Lancome - Hypnose Waterproof
minuit999 9/21/2005 3:11:00 AM
This is truly a luxury mascara-when you first pull the want out of the tube it's sooooo smooth and just feels like luxury. The application is nice and stays well, though I do get minor smuding at the end of an 8 hr day. Overall very nice for going out or when you want more drama to the lashes.

Mascara -Shu Uemura - Mascara Basic [DISCONTINUED]
minuit999 9/21/2005 3:08:00 AM
This is a great mascara for everyday office wear. Not too dramatic but it separates and lengthens lashes very naturally. It does not smudge at all (big plus for me). Two coats and I'm set...but I would not recommend this for going out as it's not very visibile in the dark. I do have to dock it some lippies for the price-it's one of the most expensive mascaras on the market.

Eye Shadow -MAC - MAC Brun Eyeshadow
minuit999 9/21/2005 3:05:00 AM
I have dark brown hair and olive skin-love this color blended with Shroom for a toned down look, or Retrospeck for a fun going out look. It's dark brown with some purplish (not orange) undertones so the color remains deep even after several hours. Love it-and since the color is so pigmented it lasts forever.

Makeup Brushes -MAC - #213 Fluff Brush
minuit999 9/21/2005 3:01:00 AM
This was my beginner eye shadow brush and has stayed with me over the years. When I'm feeling lazy and don't want to fuss with complicated application or am pressed for time, I use this brush-it's just easy and quick to use!

I've bought this mask several times and I absolutely love it. When my skin is tired or dry, this mask helps to soothe and moisturize and brings it back to tip top shape in no time.
