Bronzers -NARS - Casino

I have this one as part of a duo, together with NARS Sin blush. Although this is a great color I can only use it when I have a nice tan. Otherwise this 1 is much too dark. Also, a little goes a long way!

I'm so glad I bought this item! I was debating for so long but I will never regret :-) It is the most perfect bronzer-shade for me. Not too light and not to dark. A little goes a long way!

This is by far my most expensive product I bought for a single product. However I don't regret the high price. This blush is gorgeous, gives my cheeck a very nice pinky glow. You don't need alot of product to give you the desired effect!

This was my first ever HE palette that I bought when I just started working about 10 yrs ago and I still love it. I don't want the colors to get used up as the palette isn't available anymore.The palatte has a light champagne, a gold color an orangy color and a bright teal. All colors are shimmery. The shadows last all day without creasing!

Palettes -Smashbox - Rapture Ultimate Beauty Palette
rated 5 of 5

Finally after a while of lemming this, my palette arrived! After reading many reviews I fell in love with this palette and a great MUA CP'd this for me! Smashbox isn't easy to get here in Belgium because the brand is just released here, and I don't think alot of people know exactly what it is...or aren't willing to pay alot for it....cause SB is very expensive here with the euro, and they also do not carry everything from the brand, just the basics. I do think the palette looks a bit like a cheap Markwins blockbuster that you see in stores around christmas everywhere,but when you open it you can see the difference. The e/s are much softer texture than what I thought they would be and for me that is a good thing I hate it when you need to scrape out some e/s out of a pan just to get some color or product. The pigmentation is a bit on the light side for some colors, i mean they are all soft neutral colors with only a few darker ones. This is a great to use use as everyday-colors to go to work etc... Also the cream liner are a big jay for me, I actually don't like those big containers that weigh a bit.also the texture is great and the liner goes on very smoothly. What I do know for sure is that I probably won't use all of the browpowders...only 1 has the right color for my brows. The only thing that i'm abit scared off is that if I plan to use the lippies,and the powders next to it,the powder will get into the lippie and it will get messy and dirty! Overall, i'm very pleased with this palett and I can't wait to play with it as much as I can!

This is about the 7th brow pencil in a row from them so I guess I don't need to tell you how good I find this product? ;-) I have it in Intense Brown which matches my browcolor perfectly! Smooth to apply and longlasting. 1 of my HG!!!

Eye Shadow -GOSH - LE Waterproof e/s stik in love that sunrise!
rated 5 of 5
pimpernell 7/15/2008 2:47:00 PM

Gorgeous pink color that has a golden finish and tiny glitter particles in it. These e/s sticks are great to use as an eyeshadow base!!! They don't crease (at least not on me but I don't have very oily lids), are easy to apply and easy to blend. For me they are exactly the same as MAC's shadesticks only less in price and less colors too choose from. I think they only carry 6 basic colors.

Gorgeous ivory color that suits great for highlighter on browbone or as a base for any other e/s. These e/s sticks are great to use as an eyeshadow base!!!

Eye Shadow -GOSH - Effect Powder in Stiletto
rated 5 of 5
pimpernell 7/15/2008 2:26:00 PM

Color somewhere between red/copper and pink. These powders are very longlasting and they stay in place perfectly. They are really shimmery (which I love!) and there's a big color range. I now have 13 different shades and i'm trying to collect all of them. They are very pigmented used dry but they're even more gorgeous used wet. The only thing I don't really like are the small containers where they come in,because of when you open the pots not every container has a sifter and the powder tends to fly around everywhere if you aren't carefull. As for the price: they cost me 7or 8 euros each which I don't think is that expensive as they are my HG! And I had the luck that there was a sale going on (which we normally don't have here) and they where only 0.99 cents each!
