I wear it with a little bit of Laser Glossimer on top and together makes a genuine color. What a lovely product!

Mascara -Prescriptives - False Eyelashes Plush Mascara

This mascara beats Lancome's except in one aspect. I like Lancome's black more. But that's about it. This mascar lengthens WITHOUT CLUMPING so it is very easy to use plus it also adds incredible VOLUME at the same time. And smudging is very mild compared to Lancome. One more thing this formula does not curl lashes well alone. For curling use Lancome's or L'oreal's.

Oh Armani Armani..can a person who has such genuine hands and eyes possibly have a mediocre nose? Well... Gio (including the green version) was quite nice but not this one. It smells too generic and ordinary I am SCARED to wear it.

Powder -Guerlain - Divinora Teint Expert Confort Exquisitely Fine Power Foundation Compact SPF15
rated 4 of 5

I bought #513 which is the lightest color I believe. It is a little lighter than my skin color(nc20) but #523 seemed a little dark. Since I can use this product I think even 513 might be too dark for the palest people. However the color itself is simply gorgeous and the smell suits the name divinora. It provides good coverage (in fact the best coverage among all I've tried) and still looks very natural. It does not cake on while providing very smooth surface which looks matte but not dead flat. It lasts all day long except getting a little shiny which is not that bad at all. The color doesn't change throughout the day. It is quite an amazing product. The reason for taking off 1 lipstick is because it is very drying and nothing can help. I've tried richier cream underneath and sometimes worn it on rainy days but it was still drying. And the funny thing is at the end of the day my face gets shiny but feels still dry.

Lips -Eyeko - Strawberry Fat Balm

I regret buying this product. I was completely sold because of the cute packageing( It IS cute) and more than positive reviews. However it is VERY drying and the color doesn't suit me. Then what is this product for? The case still attracts me so I use it from time to time but only to get disappointed again! It dries my lips in very bad way. The only good thing is that it smells delicious

I highly recommend this conditioner. It's in fact one of the few best i've ever come across. This detangles and ADDS INCREDIBLE LUSTER. It is not cheap but worth the money

I really like this fragrance. I only hope it is not that expensive..sigh..The top note is fresh floral then it dries down to softer floral and i think i smell a little vanilla in there. i am not a vanilla fan but it smells so gorgeous.

Lip Gloss -Chanel - Magic Extreme Glossimer
rated 4 of 5

Yes I took the advantage of Gloss.com offer as well. I think this is a gorgeus color for spring and summer. It looks similar to Twinkle and Volage only more opaque and less glossy. I wouldn't buy it paying retail but it is much better than Ovation at least. My piece of advice: try it over a dark nude lipliner. Fabulous!!
