Eyeliner -Prestige - Total Intensity Eyeliner Deepest Black
sansan123 5/24/2010 11:23:00 AM
I have really oily, hooded eyelids and I've tried many drugstore brands and they would all smudge on me, despite setting with powder and priming. Prestige was my last attempt and it STAYED ON!! It was amazing. These are highly, highly pigmented, they're creamy and go on very smooth. The only con is that I wish it was a twist up pencil, but this is a minor detail compared to how it works. HG!! For all you Canadians, Prestige is available at Rexall.

Treatments -Neutrogena - Rapid Clear 2-in-1 Fight & Fade Gel
sansan123 4/28/2010 6:49:00 PM
This didn't fade my acne scars or fight any pimples. I used this strictly on my problem area which is my chin and some of my cheeks and this flaked the skin. It also brought out all the acne that was underneath my skin to the surface, but not entirely. So I just have more noticeable bumps on my face now, they didn't surface enough to go away. It also comes in a really small tube. I won't repurchase.

Lipstick -L'Oreal - Infallible Lip Colour Duo
sansan123 4/21/2010 7:11:00 PM
My lips are very sensitive and if they don't like something, they'll swell up like sausages. Attractive. So I was hesitant to try this but I don't like having pale lips and looking like death so I gave it a shot. I used a very little amount to start and it didn't dry my lips or cause any problems on that front. It has a nice shine to it that isn't overly shiny and it's not matte if you use the clear side. I have to be careful when applying because the color is very pigmented. I have this in the doe-foot applicator in pomegranate. I apply this, do other stuff and then apply the clear 'seal' and although some comes off when I wipe with a napkin at lunch, it still stays on a good amount at the end of the day. Will repurchase!

Lips -Nivea - Lip Care
sansan123 4/14/2010 1:22:00 AM
I have multiple dark blue ones because I like them and use them so much. They're moisturizing and glide on smoothly on my lips and they have this shine to them that can go on top of other lip products so it saves me from having to buy a gloss. My only 'bad' experience was when I tried the pearl and shine (is that the right name?) light pink one and it came out this weird frosty colour that I couldn't do anything with. Besides, great product!

Pressed Powders -Physicians Formula - Powder Palette Multi-Colored Highlighter
sansan123 4/13/2010 4:04:00 PM
This isn't much of a highlighter and I use it mostly as a setting powder. It doesn't have much of a colour so setting with it doesn't mess with the colour of my skin so it works well for that, but it's pretty pricey to use for that function.

Concealers -Physicians Formula - Gentle Cover Concealer(green)
sansan123 4/13/2010 3:53:00 PM
This works for me, it's creamy, so very easy to apply and the green tint neutralizes the red spots on my face where acne scars are or around my nose where I have redness. It doesn't make the redness goes away, but it makes it less noticeable for sure. I'll repurchase once this runs out, which probably won't be for awhile because I only use this on spots and there's a lot in the packaging.

Moisturizers -The Body Shop - Vitamin E Illuminating Moisture Cream
sansan123 4/13/2010 3:43:00 PM
I use this with a light hand on my cheeks and it kind of acts as a blush/high lighter combo. I think the key is to use a little or else it would look fake and oddly purple and pink on my face. Otherwise, I like this illuminating effect, nice and dewey!

Masks -Queen Helene - Mint Julep Masque
sansan123 4/11/2010 12:18:00 AM
I don't use this as a mask anymore because I get lazy when removing it (it takes long to wash off!) and it's kind of drying to my already dry skin. So now I use this as a spot treatment on the stubborn, red, cystic type pimples when I get them and the next morning, they would have dried up significantly!

Moisturizers -The Body Shop - Vitamin E Illuminating Moisture Cream
sansan123 4/10/2010 10:58:00 PM
This product comes in a tub and is a nice illuminating pink moisturizer. When first applied, my skin does look dewey and glowing. I'm careful while applying though because too much could emphasize the redness on my face but I'd still repurchase because I like the illuminating effect so much!

Cleansers -Cetaphil - Gentle Skin Cleanser
sansan123 4/7/2010 2:20:00 PM
I like to try different cleansers but I always come back to Cetaphil. It cleanses, it doesn't break me out, it doesn't dry my skin...the cleanser I depend upon!

Eyeliner -Maybelline - Lineworks Waterproof Liquid EyeLiner in Black
sansan123 4/5/2010 12:03:00 PM
The wand is kind of stiff so I have to be careful while applying, but I think I'd prefer the wand stiff over flimsy but that's probably because I have semi-monolids (??) so with a flimsy brush, I could easily miss my lashline...if that makes sense, hahah. I'd wear this eyeliner again except that it's not waterproof and it wears off for me by the end of the day.

Tinted Moisturizer -Olay - Regenerist Touch of Foundation SPF 15
sansan123 4/5/2010 11:59:00 AM
I like this product, it moisturizes, it's light and it also provides some coverage. It's not makeup so it doesn't make my skin flawless but I don't expect it to anyway. It only comes in one shade. I'm a NC 25-30 and it's slightly dark on me but with a little bit of summer, I think it'll be fine.

Eyeliner -Almay - Amazing Lasting Eye Pencil
sansan123 4/5/2010 11:54:00 AM
I like the packaging and sharpener at the end and I think the consistency is fine and even though it's not as creamy as the Revlon Colorstay eyeliner, it still glided on fine for me. The huge problem is that it still smudged on my lids. It didn't last for half a day.

Lips -Cover Girl - Outlast Lipstain - 400 Everbloom Kiss
sansan123 4/5/2010 11:50:00 AM
I like the colour - Everbloom Kiss, it's natural on my lips but also gives my lips a flush of colour when I need it too. However it doesn't last long at all. The marker like application is easy to use and I like the packaging but wouldn't purchase again. It doesn't do what it's suppposed to...last.
