Treatments -SKII - Facial Treatment Essence

I love this!! I have oily skin and my face would break out every now and then. When I start to feel the pimple forming, I apply this to the pimple and the next day it's gone (or dying)! Sometimes I get the cyst forming and it always takes 2+ weeks for it to shrink, but I'd apply this product and it goes away in a few days! I swear! It's worked on several pimples so I swear by this now. I'm so happy I found this! I also use the aging cream (forgot the name, but it's in the red jar) all over my face. I have scars and uneven skin and after consistent use of this product, I do notice a difference!

Primer/ Corrector -Smashbox - Photo Finish Primer
neko82 12/11/2002 4:07:00 AM
This is my holy grail! It makes my makeup stay on so well it's unbelieveable. I have oily skin and no matter how I blot and powder, my makeup just doesn't have that fresh-I-just-apply-it-on look. But with this, my makeup looks just as great by the end of the day. Well, of course not as perfect, but close to there. =P I still have to blot during the day, but only very little. The primer feels so nice on too. I agree with the others, it feels like glass. I can't stop touching it because I can't believe it's my own skin!

Crème -Chantecaille - Future Skin
neko82 12/11/2002 4:02:00 AM
This foundation broke me out pretty bad. I thought maybe it was because I didn't have enough sleep or too much stress. But I stopped for awhile and used it again and got blemishes on my face immediately the next day. I have oily skin, so maybe that's why it didn't work for me. It did feel really nice on though at first, but after a few hours, it felt like it was slipping off my face. It felt greasy and made me super shiny. Not recommended for oily girls!

Highlighters -Becca - Gypsy Pressed Shimmer Powder
neko82 12/11/2002 3:58:00 AM
I love this product!! I used this as a blush and it gave me this gorgeous golden-pink glow. I love pairing this with MAC's melting kiss lipstick. And if I'm in a hurry or don't feel like playing with my eyes, I use this as an eyeshadow too. It creates a really pretty pink face. Highly recommended! I can't wait to try the other powders!

Toners -Kose - Medicated Sekkisei
neko82 12/11/2002 3:55:00 AM
I got a sample of this from drugstore.com. I love Kose makeup products so I thought I'd give this a try. BIG mistake! It totally broke me out and got zits all over my face. The packaging said to use it as a toner, and while it did feel nice putting it on, it just didn't work for me. Maybe others will have better luck with it. No signs of it brighting up my skin and making it "glow" either, like the product claimed. Acne prone skin girls beware of this product!

Eyes -Kose - Eye Visualizer
neko82 12/11/2002 3:48:00 AM
I love this product! I got PK81 on ebay for $20 something. It includes a really pretty pale shimmery iridiscent pink liquid eye color. And on the other side, a shimmery navy grey liquid eyeliner. Both stayed on very well and the colors compliment each other beautifully. I wish Kose is available here in US to purchase. It's a little expensive but I'll definitely buy it again!

Palettes -Calvin Klein - Holiday Face Palette
neko82 12/11/2002 3:45:00 AM
I bought this palette in the beginning because I thought it would be a good way to try CK products for the first time. The packaging is a sleek, silver compact. I like it except it gets the finger prints all over too quickly. Eye shadows include Harvest, Taupe, and Espresso. The colors go on very light and I have to really build on for the color to show. It looks really natural and pretty along with the bare blush. But the color seemed to disappear a few hours later. I love the lip color in Moonstone, it's a very natural and pretty pink. I didn't try the rest because it didn't look very interesting to me. I ended up returning this palette because the e/s and blush faded too easily and barely showed up on me. And especially at $45, it totally didn't worth it.

Palettes -LORAC - Cream Eyeliner Collection 1
neko82 12/11/2002 3:39:00 AM
I love this little palette! It's not very big (3.5 in x 2 in). But the colors are so gorgeous! I especially love the purple one. It comes with a double-sided eyeliner brush. I actually like the brush and I use it when line my eyes. For me, it stayed on pretty well and didn't fade or smeared throughout the day. And I have pretty oily lids. (I use Benefit FYEye as a base first) $28 for 8 colors. Would highly recommend!

Eye Shadow -Shu Uemura - Eye Shimmer
neko82 6/3/2002 8:25:00 PM
I love this product! I have Rose Crystal, which looks like a pale pink in the tube, but it actually goes on pretty sheer, almost white with soft tints of pink. It's cream eyeshadow, so it creases on my eyes, as I have oily lids. But after putting on Benefit F.Y.Eye and then MAC paint before I put this on, it doesn't seem to crease as much anymore. The part I LOVE most about this is that it has really really really pretty sparkles. There are tiny irridiscent sparkles and bigger flecks of silver glitter. The glitter is REALLY small and fine so it won't make you look like a disco queen. I've never seen sparkles like this before! I like it so much I would keep it for the sparkles even if it creases on me. =P I love the plastic tube packaging and there are a Lot of product in this thing. It costs $15, which isn't too bad I think. I saw two other colors, one goldish and the other purplish I think. I would definitely buy more!

Lip Gloss -Kose - Luminous lipgloss
neko82 5/30/2002 1:46:00 AM
I love this lipgloss! I got RO600, which is like this sheer plummy color with gorgeous irridiscent sparkles. It's packaged in a plastic squeeze tube, like the Lancome juicy tubes. It looks really beautiful on my lips. It's not sticky and lasts for like 2-3 hours. But it leaves a subtle stain and sparkles after that. Very pretty. I bought this off at ebay for like $18. I wish Kose is available in US, so I can buy more of their products. Big rave for this lipgloss and I can't wait to try more colors!

Eye Shadow -Hard Candy - Delusional Eye Shadow Quartet
neko82 5/7/2002 8:53:00 PM
I LOVE this palette! I agree with everything Paniscus said. The colors are so so beautiful. I never considered buying this before because the colors looked too sheer to me. But the SA stopped me one day as I was shopping and showed this to me. I was just amazed by the all pretty iridescent colors. Nothing like I've ever seen. You have to see this for yourself! Get it now!! =P

Eye Shadow -Vincent Longo - Afresco-Matic Highlight Eye Shadow
neko82 5/7/2002 8:47:00 PM
I got this in Sophia after seeing it on the model in the Sephora cataloge. I tried it at the store and it was Soo pretty, I just had to get it. This is a very beautiful shimmery gold color. However, the application really sucks. Each click gets TOO much out that's enough to be used on me and my 2 other friends. And for $25 a pen, I want to save as much as possible. Besides that, you can't tell how much you have left b/c the pen is not cleared. I really think they should stop making these pen applicators thing. Well, I think I'm going to keep this one, but probably won't buy it again if I use this one up (which I don't think will take too long.)
