Lips -Stila - Holiday Lipglaze palette
oceandoll 11/28/2002 10:30:00 PM
Love this! I have many lipglazes and the original lipglaze palette, and this is a great set to have in comparison. The colours are very neutral, beautiful and wearable. Cranberry is a deep sheer cranberry red, Peppermint is a light warm shimmery golden brown, Gingerbread is a brownish-nude, and Sugar is a sheer, shimmery gold. All taste great and look good on almost anyone.

Brows -MAC - Brow gel in Beguile and Show-off
oceandoll 11/28/2002 10:27:00 PM
I have show-off, and is my favourite brow product that I've found so far. It's a shimmery reddish-brown, has good pigment. Works for a glammed up look but with natural colours.

Eye Shadow -Stila - Golightly
oceandoll 11/28/2002 10:24:00 PM
One of my favourite stila shadows. As usual, quality is great, but the colour is exceptional as well. A shimmery deep brown with hints of gold and olive, It works well on my olive skin tone. It can look natural or be used to create a smokier look that isn't too harsh. Love it!

Eye Shadow -Stila - Tango eye rouge
oceandoll 11/28/2002 10:22:00 PM
A stila SA gave me this free because it's being discontinued and I'm a regular customer :) It's a nice golden deep-bubblegum pink on me, and like another reviewer said, looks nice centered on the lid with mambo shadow. Also works well by itself for a natural, angelic look. It can be used as a blush but is too intense on my cheeks.

I just picked this up....a sheery mauvey-pink with slight shimmer, reminds me of NARS sweet dreams but much sheerer and wetter-looking. Has a very slight mint smell. Overall, I like it so far.

Lipstick -MAC - Lipstick in Plink
oceandoll 8/17/2002 11:40:00 AM
I tried this in-store a couple days ago and I'm going to go get it today! A light baby-pink j-lo kinda colour, I love it with tan skin and bronze-y eyes. Since it's from the lustre collection, it's very moisturizing and makes lips feel really soft!

Lip Gloss -Stila - Lip Glaze Palette
oceandoll 6/11/2002 5:36:00 PM
I thought i would never get a lip glaze palette....always sold out! So i grabbed one the first chance I could. I liked the variety of the lipglaze flavours, and layering them can make tons more! Considering the small amount you get in lipglaze pens, it's about equal to a slice of gloss in the palette. The texture is similar in the palette to the pens, but slightly less sticky.

Great liquid foundation! I hear the powder version isn't very good but this stuff is awesome. I have it in hallucination, which is a perfect match, and the formula is great. It looks very natural, not too matte or too dewy but just right...covers great.

Eye Shadow -Stila - High Tea Shadow Quad in Ceylon Green
oceandoll 4/21/2002 10:09:00 PM
What great texture!! I loved how soft these felt, very high quality and finely milled...the green colours are gorgeous too, much sheerer and wearable than they look, and the dark forest green is perfect for lining. I've noticed a lot MUA ers are a bit scared of the brighter green, but it looks beautiful applied just a dot to the center of the lid to make the look "pop"...not too loud at all. I'll agree with the crowd in that their packaging sucks, but overall I';m impressed with my first stila shadow!!

Lipstick -Stila - all lipsticks
oceandoll 4/8/2002 7:52:00 PM
This comes in the red gingham cardboard, interesting but ugly. I'm scared this will get wet! Anyways i bought Darla, a very very natural nude-y pink. A great colour for everyday wear, and the texture and formula are great! This feels sooo smooth and nice on my lips yet it doesnt come off too fast.

Eye Shadow -NARS - Bombshell
oceandoll 4/8/2002 7:49:00 PM
A great basic shadow from NARS!! This is a slightly taupe tinted shimmery silver, great for many things. I use it lightly on my lids for a natural subtle look, pile it on for clubbing, to highlight brow/cheek/collar bones, to line, everything. If you're looking for a good quality versatile shadow, try this out.

Eyeliner -NARS - Liquid in Bullitt
oceandoll 4/8/2002 7:46:00 PM
A liquid-gel eyeliner that comes with a small brush. This colour, a kind of charcoal-taupe colour, looks nice on everyone. It's not at harsh as black but still defining. You can wear it as an everyday liner or put on lots at night to really see the interesting colour. I found the consistency a bit hard to work with, I kept getting clumps on my eyelashes. I love this product anyways, as it becomes easier with time and practise to create a great look!

Lipstick -BeneFit Cosmetics - She-Shells
oceandoll 4/8/2002 7:44:00 PM
A lipgloss in a cute beach shell packaging, with a grey "pearl". Also comes in shades for eyes. I bought "she-coral", a warm, sheer pink. It moisturized really well and had okay staying power, nice colour. This is a good gloss but very expensive at about $30 canadian with tax. I think this product is more about the packaging than the product. Cute though...
