Mascara -Chanel - Inimitable Mascara Multi-Dimensionnel
peachygoldfish 6/7/2009 12:33:00 AM
This by far has been the only mascara that I love. I like the wand and it doesn't leave my lashes looking clumpy. This doesn't curl my lashes (I really don't care about that anyways) but it gives my lashes volume and length without looking like I over applied. I really like the consistency of the product too.

Eyes -MAC - Paint Pot in Bare Study
peachygoldfish 6/7/2009 12:30:00 AM
I don't really like this shade, probably because I'm looking for more neutral non-shimmery shades. Bare study is shimmery, so if you like that, this is the product for you. However, it does make my e/s last.

Skincare - Face -MAC - Fix+
peachygoldfish 6/7/2009 12:28:00 AM
I initially used this before I would put on my foundation (Benefit's playstick) and a couple of hours later, I would find myself looking REALLY OILY. I have combo skin, but my oily spots can get really oily. I like Fix + because it made the application of foundation smoother. Now, I use Clinique's liquid foundation and I don't have the problem of over-oiliness. Maybe it depends on what type of powder/foundation you use. I like the smell and I always use it before foundation application. I dont spray it after all my makeup because I feel like it makes me face more oily.

Mascara -MAC - Zoom lash
peachygoldfish 6/7/2009 12:23:00 AM
I'm really sad to say that I don't like this MAC product :( I hate the wand; it always leaves me with clumpy lashes. In addition, I don't feel like the mascara makes my lashes longer. It has an odd smell to it. It was really strong at first but I guess I got used to it (?).

Liquid -Clinique - Perfectly Real Makeup
peachygoldfish 6/7/2009 12:21:00 AM
I usually use BeneFit's playsticks in Jump Rope but I decided to try liquid foundation. I am currently using this and so far, I am pretty satisfied. I do need to use a look of product, which is good for me. I use the foundation brush or a mac 187 and it looks fine either way. This product provides average coverage and does not feel heavy at all. I honestly don't feel like I am wearing foundation (compared to when I used to use Benefit).

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre in High Tea
peachygoldfish 1/16/2009 12:57:00 AM
i recently received this from a lovely MUAer and love it! i think it's great for everyday use as well as paired with smoky eyes. The color works well with my skin tone and i dont think it's too light and the forumla does that dry my lips.

Lipstick -MAC - Ahoy, There! - Naughty Nauticals (LE Summer 2008)
peachygoldfish 6/9/2008 3:07:00 PM
This comes from the LE Naughty Nauticals collection. It is described as a "sheer light dirty pink with multi-dimensional pearl." It is a very pretty pink color. This is also a glaze. It goes on smooth and leaves my lips soft. It doesnt dry them at all. It is a great everyday color.

Eye Shadow -MAC - ShadeStick in Lucky Jade
peachygoldfish 5/23/2008 4:28:00 PM
this is the first shadestick i have which i got from a lovely swapper. it's a great base for green e/s. i found that the product glided easily on my skin if i warmed the shadestick between my hands. the color itself is a pretty light green color and can be worn by itself. i would repurchase this again but in a different color because i dont wear green too often

I love this color. my first purchase from the collection and it looks pretty with my skin. (i am a medium tan color) i wear this with my favorite e/s trax in the crease. the color isnt too glittery or dark, although it seems dark in the pan. it's a great lid color or cease color!

Eyes -MAC - Sublime Nature Paint
peachygoldfish 5/21/2008 2:40:00 AM
This is the first paint i bought and i love it. UDPP didnt work for me...i actually needed a thicker base and this works well for me. i choose it in this color because it closely matched the color of the back of my hand. (Im a medium tan color) This blends e/s a lot better than UDPP and although i dont like how it is packaged, this leaves my e/s creaseless for the whole day. i would definitely buy again!

Moisturizers -Ponds - Dry Skin Cream
peachygoldfish 3/13/2008 2:19:00 PM
Ive been using this for a long time now and my skin is actually dry and oily. i have dry spots and this cream moisturizes well. On my oily areas, it doesnt make it look more oily. The cream is very light and doesnt feel heavy. I would definitely recommend it. The only thing that I dont like about it is the packaging. It comes in a jar and i find it difficult to put my finger in there to scoop out some cream.

Loose Powders -BeneFit Cosmetics - Bluff Dust
peachygoldfish 3/13/2008 2:16:00 PM
This is product is good and bad for me. I thought that the yellow color corrected the redness yet also made my face look like i dabbed on white powder! I didnt like how it came with a sponge applicator when ideally, you use should it with a brush. I barely use it and when i do, i use it over my foundation to set it. I think this may work with lighter skin girls since im a bit darker. i wouldnt buy this again because i dont think i can finish the one i have now.

Foundations -BeneFit Cosmetics - Play Sticks
peachygoldfish 3/13/2008 2:12:00 PM
This is the first foundation i tried that didnt break my skin out nor left it dry. It is amazing! I love that it gave great coverage. Plus, I was able to find my exact color too! i have meduim-tanish skin and jump-rope was perfect! I like the stick size because it saves save and its easy to apply. I draw circles and dots on my face and smooth it out with a foundation brush. The coverage may be thick for some but i have spots that i need to cover so this was perfect. Too bad it's a tad bit expensive :(

Mascara -BeneFit Cosmetics - BADgal Lash
peachygoldfish 3/13/2008 2:09:00 PM
this was the first mascara i tried and absolutely love it. i actually liked the big brush because i only put mascara on my upper lashes and liked that the tube was big. more mascara for your money? i liked how it dried quickly and didnt clump. if you dont like the big tube, buy the travel size for half the price at sephora.com.

Eye Shadow -MAC - AMBER LIGHTS
peachygoldfish 3/12/2008 11:42:00 PM
I have medium skin and brown eyes and found this shadow to be too orange-y. It looks great on the pan but when i tried it on my eyelid, it turned out to look like a coppery orange-y color and it did not look good :( im so sad because so many people rave about it and i heard it works well with cranberry. i wouldnt buy it again, im actually trying to get rid of mine :(
