Mascara -Almay - Almay intense i-color brown topaz
pertiegurlie 4/24/2010 2:52:00 PM
For long + thick + brownness... this is great. It's a gem. Not even one fault...no smudging or flaking or anything like that. I would buy again, but in a different colour.

Mascara -Maybelline - Full 'N Soft Mascara Waterproof
pertiegurlie 4/24/2010 7:12:00 AM
I feel that people who deem Lash Blast or Full n Soft the ULTIMATE....well, they've given up in their search for the true superhero 'scara. The one with magical powers. The one which can CHANGE YOUR LIFE. They've just...stopped looking. They're like "ok i'll settle down with you because you're not TERRIBLE like my boss and ur not verbally abusive like my ex-husband, and anyway, i have better things to do with my life and time than pursue silly eyelash enhancing devices" .....This way they can live happily ever after with no nagging feeling that PERHAPS THEIR EYE HAIR COULD BE PRETTIER. . Good for them, I say. . But for the person seeking the ultimate fat delicious lashes, let me tell you something: FULL N SOFT IS NOT THE ONE. It flakes. It stings my eyes a bit. It is goopy and not very voluminous or lengthening. It's mediocre at best. There are far better 'scaras out there. Stop wasting time with this one. You're too good for it.

Eye Shadow -Maybelline - EyeStudio Quads
pertiegurlie 4/22/2010 4:23:00 AM
Would I buy again? Yesss I wanna buy & try every colour, they all look so beautiful! Like precious stones embedded in a cr@ppy plastic container. But in reality I won't cuz I think it's pricey. I know everyone's gonna be like No way! but come on, it's kinda expensive...about $13 canadian dollars for a small not-that-good drugstore quad?? I'd rather use that money to donate to my brother's Pepsi fund {he likes Pepsi. he needs money to buy said Pepsi} . You have no idea how long I spent in front of the display trying to choose which one to get....I was trying all the testers out on the back of my hand and I was like AGHH why are they all so prettyy....finally ended up getting "Copper Chic" which I can see myself using a lot...anyway the colours look so yummy. . BTW...kinda reminds me of "Kanebo Kate" eyeshadows...the Japanese brand. The packaging is pretty similar, design, colour choices, and even the quality {medium-ish pigment, lots of shimmer, a bit of fallout}. . Anyway, if there was more pigment, I'd up my rating to a 5, but right now...it gets a 3 overall. Good stuff, but the quality leaves something to be desired.

Mascara -Maybelline - Pulse Perfection™ by Define-A-Lash® Vibrating Mascara ] ] [DISCONTINUED]
pertiegurlie 4/15/2010 7:03:00 AM
Best 'scara ever. I've used 4 by Maybelline, 2 by Cover Girl, 1 by Max Factor, 1 by Estee Lauder, 1 by Bourjois, and one more that I forget... . THIS is my fave. If you don't wiggle it while applying u will probably love it. It kinda reminds me of like..if I was a girl James Bond and i needed a cool technological device that I could easily hide in my socks, and wipe out and it would be a weapon, a walkie-talkie, and a mascara in one!!! Except this one is only a mascara..

Eyeliner -Guerlain - terracotta kohl in Oriental Metal
pertiegurlie 4/12/2010 10:59:00 PM
Reviewers calling this "unique" and "innovative" should check out the museums in Turkey. Ask to see the "kohl display." This stuff's been around for centuries, and in prettier containers too. . Anyway the colour is really pretty and it's definitely worth checking out! <3 This colour is the exact colour of the herbal Ithmad Surma/Kohl which my gran uses {and it's way cheaper}. But it's hard to find, so this is the next best option.

Eyeliner -Revlon - Colorstay Eyeliner-Black
pertiegurlie 4/10/2010 2:22:00 AM
When I use this on the waterline, it stings. This hasn't happened to me with any other liner, so I'm assuming it's this liner's fault, not mine :P Maybe I'm allergic or sensitive to one of the ingredients? . Anyway, it's a nice deep black, not AS dark as some stuff I've used in the past, but it'll do. Stays on from morning to night. Have rebought it already.

Lipstick -Rimmel - Lasting Finish - Alarm
pertiegurlie 4/3/2010 7:56:00 AM
God this is beautiful. The colour is gorgeous and bright but still elegant {not overdone}. Even in daytime it's nice. . I look so nice in this. I feel so good in this. And it's VERY pigmented and smooth. There's nothing ~negative~ to say. Really, I'm scanning my brain trying to come up with even one tiny fault, just to mar this rave review, but...nada. Even the fragrance is pretty {I bet lots of ppl probably dislike Rimmel's lipstick perfume, but I love it}. . Oh and you can apply it and then wipe it off and get a nice stain that looks so natural and English-Rose-esque, orrrr you can just put it on normally, and either way it's amazing. Sometimes I even use it as a blush {apply the lightest dot with my finger, then blend with moisturizer...}. Don't need lip liner, it's like...perfect without it. Gives a red lip that isn't high-maintenance and takes barely a few moments in the morning to perfect.

Eyeliner -Revlon - Colorstay Eyeliner
pertiegurlie 4/3/2010 1:18:00 AM
I have black-brown & black. Both are awesome, and totally worth getting! Black lasts longer and is prettier, I find, but maybe that's just me. Black-brown is like..so pretty when I wear my green contact lenses. . The negative part is I'm sure I'm sensitive/allergic to *SOMETHING* in these because whenever I tightline or use them on my waterline....my eyes turn red at the edges and feel a bit stingy for a couple of moments. This happens with NO other eyeliner, so I know it's not me, it's this liner! But for just lining on the lid {not waterline} this is good!! . Oh another bad thing is that u have to be careful not to twist it up too much cuz it can break off while u apply it. So be careful. And don't lose the lid cuz then it hardens.

Awesomeness that also happens to be cheap & lovely-smelling. I don't know why anyone WOULDN'T like this. I mean, if you wanted to lose weight you could just put this on and try to convince yourself that you'd already eaten dessert.

Lipstick -Revlon - Matte Lipstick - Nude Attitude
pertiegurlie 3/18/2010 11:00:00 PM
{UPDATED REVIEW TO 4 stars cuz this is now my favourite lipstick that I wear every day.} . It actually looks really REALLY good on the girl in that 4th pic in the top right corner, and that's why I bought it. . But I'm such an idiot. My skintone is way darker than hers, so duh it looks bad on me. It's like concealer, except worse. Looks so so so bad. Drugstore didn't have testers so I just bought it on faith. Don't make the same mistake as me: if you are olive-y, or on the dark side, don't buy it. EDIT: I figured out how to make this not suck so bad. First I take my Vit. E oil, slather it on so it's like lipgloss. Then I press on {not sliding across, just DABBING it on} this disgusting lipstick. Just one layer...not too much. This way it looks not-digusting, and maybe even nice. Otherwise it sucks. . OH and also you should leave it in the sun for like 10 minutes...cuz then it's easier to use forever after. Now it's much easier to apply since I did that that. Before it would take me ages to get it to even show up nicely. Now it goes on smoother.

I really like it! A lot lot... A lot lot lot. It looks so nice and I do not mind the shimmer at all. It is not even noticeable. What else should I say. I guess I should try to squeeze in a mention of Afridi, since it's the pattern in my reviews and you shouldn't break a tried-and-tested pattern cuz you know what happens? YOUR BEST BELOVED GETS KIDNAPPED BY PIRATES! . So yeah. Afridi. Um. Go him!

WORDS TO TAKE TO HEART: DON`T WIGGLE IT! DON`T WIGGLE! DON`T WIGGLE! DON`T WIGGLE IT! DON`T WIGGLE! DON`T WIGGLE! . YOU WILL BE TEMPTED TO WIGGLE THE BRUSH because that`s what you do with other mascaras...but don`t do it with this! just stroke slowly from top to bottom while pressing the button. Then, if you still experience clumping, you are either absolutely hopeless, orrrr I am crazy {quite possible}, orrrrrr you have some disease that makes your hand quiver in mid-air and wiggle the wand unintentionally {hopefully this is not the case}. . Rest of the review: What?? Why are there so many bad reviews?? I expected to come here and find words like AWESOME, not clump-a-licious. Are you guys applying it wrong or what...this is the best lengthening drugstore 'scara ever, and so many people don't like it?....something is wrong with the world... . This worked great--for me at least! Colour: In blackest black, it is a gorgeous darker-than-dark black. And it's got a glossy finish, for some reason. . Price: I got it for like 13 dollars..not bad but not good either. It was on sale for $6.00, but you needed the coupon you get in junk mail ..which was at home, in the trash can {people who live in Canada: SAVE YOUR JUNK MAIL COUPONS! ESP THE ONES FOR REXALL!} . Result: Fans. Curls. Lengthens beautifully. Volumizes well, depending on how many coats you do. Looks great....wispy and long and thick. No clumps...I went over 4 times on each eye and no clumps. That's amazing. . I like it better than Maybelline Colossal Volum'Express and Cover Girl Lash Blast, both of which I adore. Lash Blast was HG for soft/natural, and Colossal was HG for bam! glam! This is way better than either, for the same purposes, depending on how many coats you do. . This one DOESN'T clump. I DON'T get the reviews which say it does. It seriously doesn't, not for me anyway... And if you look at the other positive reviews, they say the same thing, so I guess I'm not insane.

Misc Beauty Tools -Unlisted Brand - Solotica Hidrocharme Mel
pertiegurlie 3/15/2010 8:56:00 AM
Saw a review for Geo contact lens, so I thought I might as well add this review as well.< Short version: FAKE BUT LOOKS LIKE U WERE BORN WITH GREEN EYES. BEAUTIFUL BUT UNCOMFORTABLE. Long version: They're like yellow lenses that turn green on dark eyes. . Everything is extreme with these. I'm just gonna talk in hyperbole. . First up, price is VERY high. Horrible. Highway robbery. If you don't live in Brazil, shipping is hella expensive too. . Comfort is AWFUL for a few seconds...but then your eyes get used to it and it's like you can't even feel them....but you can't wear them all day. It's like the Spanish Inquisition on your poor eyes. Seven or eight hours max, otherwise they won't be able to bear the torture anymore, and confess to all the sins in the world...just take off the lenses dammit! . Looks VERY beautiful & natural. It`s just gorgeous. Enlarges your iris as well. Colour changes depending on lighting (outdoors in sunshine, it's bright lime green, indoors it's like...um..medium green/hazel?). It`s really pretty at any rate, and it looks completely natural. . Worth it? It would be if the comfort was better. Right now, I would only recommend them to crazies like me who don't mind beauty at the price of pain.... Well it's not thaaat bad, but I just felt like throwing in a cliche. . Here's a pic too {i have dark brown eyes normally} [img]http://img.makeupalley.com/thumb.asp?sb=h&f=2_4_3_5_1575861.JPG&maxSize=150[/img] That black stuff is not the swamp monster taking over my face, btw . BTW Solotica`s most beautiful & natural lenses in my opinion: Hidrocharme Mel, Hidrocharme Ice, Natural Colours Topazio

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Pure Vitamin E Oil
pertiegurlie 2/28/2010 9:09:00 PM
UPDATE You can put this on, and dab on ANY eyeshadow or pigment or lipstick on. And it looks like a beautiful lipgloss! I've been doing this with eyeshadows that don't look that good on the eye...if you just mix some Vit e oil it becomes a really gorgeous lipgloss. For example, I took some PALE blue eyeshadow pigment & mixed it with a pink colour and Vitamin E oil...it looks so pretty when I put it on! Like an MAC lipgloss. . This is really good!! I like that it's thick because in winter, when u walk in the cold, your skin gets all chapped & you need hard-core moisturization. It feels like honey, all gloppy. I mix it with sweet almond oil and extra virgin olive oil, to make it less sticky. Those other two oils are also good. It was inexpensive. You can get it very cheap from Rexall, if you live in Canada.
