Sunscreen -DDF - Matte Finish Sunscreen SPF30
mrsspell 10/4/2004 1:17:00 PM
I was hoping that this product would work for me but it didnt. It flaked up quite a bit on my face and I had to brush all those little flakes away. It does go on very matte, which is great for me as I have very oily acne-prone skin, but it didnt stay that way. I took it back after 4 days.

Mascara -Maybelline - Lash Discovery Mascara

I like this mascara only because the small brush can reach the corners of my eyes. It lenthens the hard to reach lashes enough for me use a thickening mascara on them. Basically, the brush is great, the formula could use some work.

Lip Gloss -Chanel - Praline Glossimer
mrsspell 6/14/2004 12:16:00 PM
This is the perfect color for a nude lip. It is the perfect pinkish/brown mixture with no shimmer like many of the other glossimers have. The texture is wonderful (not too sticky) and it lasts for hours. Besides Unity this is my favorite glossimer ( and I have about 20 different colors!)

Powder -Real Cosmetics - Cairo

I love this powder! I bought this in Havana. The color selection is wonderful. It gives a medium amount of coverage (not too thick or too sheer or too powdery). The packaging could use an overhaul though. Its like a square box with a little sponge in it. I use a brush to apply and toss the sponge. Even so, this is a definite repurchase.

Primer/ Corrector -I-Iman - Matte Spray

I tried this on a whim. It did keep me oil and shine free for about 3 hours (which is good because I'm super oily). Since then I have started using it under my powder foundation and using MAC Blot on top. Using it that way keeps me oil free all day ( about 8 hours).

I bought this after reading the other comments on it. The first time I tried it I fell in love! After 3 hours no oil slick. checked again after 2 more hours my skin didnt look oily at all. Just beautiful. I never thought I would find anything to keep me from looking like an oil slick but this product is the real deal!

Mascara -Lancome - Hypnose

This mascara does make your lashes thicker with each application however it also clumps with each application. The clumping canceled out the thickening benefit.

Primer/ Corrector -Chanel - Precision Purite Ideale T-Mat Shine Control

I guess I'll be adding this to the rest of the mattifiers that have been tossed in the back of my drawer. This held back the oil for about an hour at the most.

Lip Gloss -NARS - Lip Lacquer in Chastity
mrsspell 5/20/2004 11:52:00 AM
The mauvey-pink is one of the best I've found to match my caramel skin tone. I probably wont buy it again though because it doesnt have a wand and that makes it awkward to take with me for touch ups.

In a nutshell Suprise is exactly what the name implies. Its Suprisingly ugly in the tube,Suprisingly MLBB by itself and Suprisingly gorgeous over every lipstick I've worn it with!

Lip Treatments -Smith's Rosebud Salve - Smith's Strawberry Lip Balm

I have to agree with Erin 123. I dont see what all the fuss is about. This is just an average lip balm. The only good point is that you get a decent amount in the tin.

This is a very nice eyeliner. It doesnt tug or pull when you put it on. Its not my HG because of the price but it is a very nice eyeliner.

Mascara -MAC - Fibre Rich Lash Mascara
mrsspell 11/3/2003 4:33:00 PM
This mascara is a lot like the Fiber Rich mascara by Jane except it costs a little more. Its nice and it didnt smudge but it didnt build length like I thought it would. It did an okay job but I used Loreal Longitude over it and that made the difference.

Masks -Fresh - Umbrian Clay Treatment Bar
mrsspell 10/29/2003 12:18:00 PM
When the S/A told me about this I thought she was just trying to sell me a product so I asked for a sample. I loved it! I went back and bought the bar AND I use 2-3x per week. I have very oily/acne prone skin and it helps to control the oil. The bar does start to crumble after a while but I put it in a sandwich bag and used a rolling pin to crush it. Now I put a little in my palm, add a dab of water and spread it on my face.The best part is 1 bar lasts for at least a year so it is definitely worth the price. I will be purchasing this again when it runs out.

Mascara -Christian Dior - Diorshow Mascara
mrsspell 10/29/2003 12:03:00 PM
I bought this on a whim but after using it I wish I had saved my money. I thought the large brush would be neat but it kept hitting my eyeshadow.I think it would work for someone who already has long lashes to begin with. It did make my lashes somewhat thicker but it smudged and flaked like crazy. Long'Optic is definitely a better choice.
