Fragrances -Giorgio Armani - Idole d'Armani

UGH. This smells like something familiar, I just can't quite place it. Maybe like my grandma. It's a sharp, acrid fragrance, with some slight floral notes to it. Very, very strong. It's not good, and I couldn't wait to wash it off!

Cleansers -Sephora - Make-up remover wipes

I didn't care for these. They didn't remove my foundation or mascara very well (and it wasn't even the waterproof kind)!

Cleansers -Clean & Clear - makeup dissolving facial cleansing wipes
mtycer 3/12/2011 1:57:00 AM
To be honest, I did not like these at first. I felt like they left an oily residue. However, after trying many cleansers and makeup removing wipes, I've come to appreciate these! They easily and completely remove waterproof mascara and sunscreen, without tugging or scrubbing. I follow up by cleansing with bar soap, and my skin is looking great! I wish the packaging was better though--maybe a flip top instead of the resealable sticker.

Eye Shadow -Cargo - Essential Eye Palette Cool/Neutral
mtycer 7/3/2010 9:48:00 PM
I love this palette. The colors are great and work well together. While the packaging seems hefty, the hinge isn't that sturdy and the plastic has broken on at least one of mine. Still a great product, and I've already purchased a backup.

Fragrances -Kenzo - Flower
mtycer 1/22/2010 10:12:00 PM
The scent is somewhat floral, but the floral aspect is overwhelmed by a very powdery overtone, like baby powder. It has decent lasting power, but to be honest, if I wanted to smell like baby powder, I'd just rub on some baby powder!

Fragrances -Dolce & Gabbana - Fragrance Anthology L'Imperatrice
mtycer 1/16/2010 12:32:00 AM
Very sweet, very fruity and floral. (Maybe tangerines?) Incredibly girly. I LOVE this scent. However, it is spendy, and the lasting power is just so so. Additionally, although it's nice, I feel like I've smelled it before somewhere--maybe Victoria's Secret, or The Body Shop? I might cave and purchase this though.

Fragrances -Dolce & Gabbana - Fragrance Anthology - 1 - Le Bateleur (The Magician)
mtycer 1/14/2010 11:13:00 PM
Smells like a slightly less masculine version of men's aftershave or Old Spice? As the first reviewer said, herbal, slightly woodsy, a bit of citrus. Very very fresh and clean. It's very nice. I think I'd absolutely love it on a guy--it's a bit too masculine for me, but I do love it. :) My only complaint is that it fades too quickly, within an hour or two.

Green, powdery, flowery, with a bit of sweetness, and very SOAP like. Seriously smells like floral soap. I really don't care for it.

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Nanette by Nanette Lepore
mtycer 12/28/2009 1:43:00 AM
I have a sample of this from Sephora. I usually love floral scents, but am underwhelmed by this one. The packaging is gorgeous though! On me, the scent smells a bit smoky, quite a bit soapy, some amber, musty dried flowers, perhaps a bit of menthol? with a hint of vanilla hiding underneath it all. I'm a little underwhelmed by this fragrance, and will not be purchasing. Just alright.

I have a sample of this from Sephora. I usually love floral scents, but am underwhelmed by this one. The packaging is gorgeous. On me, the scent smells fresh, green, and just a bit flowery and sweet. Also smells a bit soapy. Just a smidge powdery. It's a very nice fragrance, but just not my style.

Eye Shadow -Cargo - Tahiti Eye Shadow Palette
mtycer 12/13/2009 9:40:00 PM
I tried a sample of this. The colors are shimmery lime green (unfortunately, looks gold on my eyelids), shimmery light teal (not very pigmented), shimmery teal (decently pigmented), blue (chalky and not very pigmented even when foiled). I really want to like this palette, and am a little bummed by the quality. In theory, the colors are really fun, but it takes quite a bit of work to make them work. :( http://img.makeupalley.com/7/3/7/0/1482947.JPG

Fragrances -Elizabeth Arden - Mariah Carey FOREVER
mtycer 12/13/2009 9:19:00 PM
Fresh and green, with a bit of floral. Smells like a more florally version of Clinique Happy. Nothing special, and not my type. The bottle is interesting, the scent is alright, the price is average. Pretty underwhelming overall.
