Highlighters -Becca - Rose Quartz Shimmering Skin Perfector
onlypanties 4/10/2008 2:17:00 PM
This is a HG product & my most used shade from all the ones I own. The bottle has a pump and see through. The color looks is very pink/purply irridescent. The bottle retails at $41 ( I was able to buy it at $38 back in the day). Bit pricey but so worth it. This product is very comparable to MAC Strobe Cream but 100x better. I own both and NEVER reach for the Strobe Cream. I think that its much to subtle bordering non existent. On the skin is lovely. I have mixed it with my liquid foundation but it was much to subtle for my taste. What I like to do is apply it to my cheek bones, tip of nose & sometimes a dab on the chin. Then apply my foundation like normal. I like to use a little, around 1 pump, if I use more than that I tend to look greasy and NOT sexy glowy. I'm glad that more MUA'rs are on board with this gem. I have been using it around 3 yrs and the bottle looks like new. Would I buy this again? Hell yeah!

Highlighters -Becca - Gold Shimmering Skin Perfector
onlypanties 4/10/2008 2:13:00 PM
This is a HG product (not HG shade though). The bottle has a pump and see through. The color looks is tan with a bit of goldish to it. The bottle retails at $41 ( I was able to buy it at $38 back in the day). Bit pricey but so worth it. This product is very comparable to MAC Strobe Cream but 100x better. I own both and NEVER reach for the Strobe Cream. I think that its much to subtle bordering non existent. This tends to make me look a bit more bronzy, I don't think this shade suits my NC42 skin much. I have mixed it with my liquid foundation but it was much to gold & bronzy for my taste. Think Goldmember the movie. What I like to do is apply it to my cheek bones, tip of nose & sometimes a dab on the chin. Then apply my foundation like normal. I like to use a little, around 1 pump, if I use more than that I tend to look greasy and NOT sexy glowy. I'm glad that more MUA'rs are on board with this gem. I have been using it around 3 yrs and the bottle looks like new. Would I buy this again? Hell yeah!

Highlighters -Becca - Pearl Shimmering Skin Perfector
onlypanties 4/10/2008 2:05:00 PM
This is a HG product. The bottle has a pump and see through. The color is plain white on the bottle, yup just white like a "pearl" I guess. Think MAC vanilla pgmnt. The bottle retails at $41 ( I was able to buy it at $38 back in the day). Bit pricey but so worth it. This product is very comparable to MAC Strobe Cream but 100x better. I own both and NEVER reach for the Strobe Cream. I think that its much to subtle bordering non existent. Out of the many SSP, Opal is my least favorite. On the skin is nice. I have mixed it with my liquid foundation but it was much to subtle for my taste. What I like to do is apply it to my cheek bones, tip of nose & sometimes a dab on the chin. Then apply my foundation like normal. I like to use a little, around 1 pump, if I use more than that I tend to look greasy and NOT sexy glowy. I'm glad that more MUA'rs are on board with this gem.

I'm not a MUA'r who can tell the notes of a perfume. But I smelled this once, and since then have been hooked. I have gone through two bottles. For my B-day everyone asked what I wanted and I said Light Blue, in the end I ended up with 2 more bottles:D I tend to use this everyday, by far my favorite fragrance! It smells so nice! Plus I get tons of compliments on it, I guess it goes well with my body chemistry.

I'm not a MUA'r who can tell the notes of a perfume. But I smelled this once, and since then have been hooked. I tend to use this mainly on nights or in winter. I feel like its a heavy scent to be using on a regular school day. It smells so nice! Plus I love getting compliments on how yummy I smell.

I'm not a MUA'r who can tell the notes of a perfume. But I smelled this once, and since then have been hooked. I couldn't afford it, so my momma got it for me on my B-day. Plus she threw in the GWP that MACY's was giving out. I tend to use this mainly on nights or in winter. I feel like its a heavy scent to be using on a regular school day. It smells so nice!

I'm not a MUA'r who can tell the notes of a perfume. But I smelled this on my MAC MA and I HAD to know what she was wearing. I thought she was going to say something by MAC. To my surprise she said it was this Incanto Shine. The same day, I went out and bought it for myself. It smells so nice!

Anew Ultimate Transforming hand and nail cream. Squeeze bottle 2.5 fl/oz. Spf15
I needed a thick moisturizer for the office, all that hand washing, dusty files, brittle nails from the keyboard.
After doing my research I found this. Very excited I took this to work one day and couldn't handle the fragrance. It gave me a bad headache. The consistency also didn't help the office because it needed to sink into the skin quickly so that I could get back to work. Needless to say I dumped it into my "worthless gimmicky stash"
I recently discovered this lotion again, I couldn't toss it because it look new after all I did only use it once. I had to give it one more chance. I knew that the smell would give me a headache. So what I did, I noticed I have a few very dark dry patches on my belly. At night I shower and I packed this sucker right before bedtime. By the morning the dark dry patches have become lighter. My skin enjoy this lotion. Now it has become a routine.

Eye Shadow -Unlisted Brand - Emani Transformer
onlypanties 2/6/2008 8:38:00 PM
This is a small jar .07oz for apprx $12. The color is clear. This is meant to transform the e/s and make it pop. Which it really does. I normally use UDPP, then Transformer and last my regular e/s.
It doesn't make the e/s crease or smudge. Can't wait to purchase more, which might be awhile since you use a tiny thin layer.

Please check out the pictures.
These e/s are awesome. They come in a small jar with a sifter on top. They are a loose e/s although Emani is now making some pressed. These are so pigmented. They are $10 at my local store. Can't wait to buy more.
