This concealer is really the best I've tried. It goes on so creamy under the eye!! I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I first tried it at Sephora. Usually a concealer looks very dry under my eyes but this one is dewy and creamy. It is waterproof and has great staying power. Try it....you will definitely not be dissapointed.

Eyeliner -Smashbox - limitless eyeliner

I use this Limitless eyeliner on my waterline and it works great. I lightly dry off my waterline and this eyeliner stays on for the long haul. I have only used the Onyx (black) but I recently bought the 4 pack to try other colors. This is a great eyeliner, you won't be disappointed if you try it.

Eye Shadow -NARS - Tzarine Duo

I have been looking for a grey eyeshadow that didn't turn out too dark or too metallic silver. This is it!! The beige shade on the left is a great champagne/ivory color. It blends beautifully with the grey on the right side of the compact. The grey is a medium tone that did NOT turn blue on me. The two colors can be blended together to create a lighter grey color that I like to wash over my eyelid for an all over color wash.

Eye Shadow -Laura Mercier - Eye Colour in Topaz

This eyeshadow is a beautiful neutral taupe. The color can be built up from a light wash to a deeper contour color. I have washed this over my entire lid and then contoured with a charcoal grey, but I use this most often as a contour blended with a shimmering ivory. This looks great with black eyeliner, but can go with many other colors too. I especially like this with navy eyeliner.

Styling Products -Paul Mitchell - Super Skinny Relaxing Balm

LOVE this stuff. There is a lot of product in the bottle and it lasts forever. I use about 1-2 pumps each time. I find that is makes my hair dry much faster, although, I wouldn't say that it completely tames the frizz. It does give a big help to the frizz. I would definitely repurchase, as a matter of fact, I have a backup bottle "just in case".

Lips -Chanel - Rouge Allure Laque Santal 77
rated 5 of 5

Rouge Allure Laque in Santal is a medium peachy neutral lip color. I have found that I can layer for a much deeper color payoff or go a little bit more sheer for a natural look. Although I would use the word peach, this color still strikes me as a neutral lip shade. It definitely has a brightness to the color that is very pretty. I have been wearing this a lot applied in a sheer way during the warm weather.

Eye Shadow -Bobbi Brown - Metallic Eyeshadow in Rockstar

This color is an extremely light silver color. It appeared much lighter on me than in the packaging. It came across too shimmery, which was a real surprise to me. Usually Bobbi Brown shadows are much more subtle in there colors and finishes.

This is my constant go to all over ivory/champagne eye color. Mixes with every color under the sun and makes it look better.

Lip Gloss -NARS - Tempest

This gloss is a beautiful neutral pink/beige lipgloss. It is not a light nude, though, it is the tone of a medium lip. Very natural and stays on well. It has a very slight shimmer, but comes off more as a slight sheen than a traditional shimmer. It's fast becoming a favorite!

Lip Gloss -Chanel - beige guitare glossimer

Beige Guitare was a surprise for me. This is a soft beige gloss with multi colored sparkles. Not gritty sparkles. I thought this might be very sheer and appear like a clear gloss with some sparkles, but it has a very slightly opaque quality to the base which makes it very pretty. It ends up looking like a pink/beige. It looks great layered over any lipstick and is a staple for throwing on by itself.

Mascara -Bare Escentuals - Flawless Definition mascara

Sorry, but this mascara was a bomb. I like lengthening mascaras and I was excited about the comb/brush. This mascara is way too thick compared to most lengthening mascaras I have used. It clumped my lashes together and the "comb" didn't seem to separate at all. Won't repurchase.

Lipstick -Estee Lauder - Pure Color Lipstick- Beige
rated 5 of 5
shimmering 7/10/2009 5:55:00 PM

Hands down, my favorite lipstick...... This is truly nude toned beige with a big hint of pink. This will not look too orange/copper and it isn't too light pink. My only complaint is that the bullet of lipstick breaks. I get about halfway through the tube and the lipstick breaks where the inner tube holds the bullet on. This has happened more than once. Since I love the color so much, I just put it on carefully.

This gloss has great staying power. I love the color. It is definitely a peachy pink, but not too peachy. It is a subtle nude pink. I'm surprised that this gloss has some opaqueness to it and I like that a lot!

Best eyeshadow brush. Invest in a couple of them. It is not too stiff or too loose. It is just right!

This is definitely a very versatile brown. I particularly love it mixed with pink on the eyelid. I would describe the color as a medium brown, that stays true brown on the lid. If you need a great everyday color for a light smokey eye, a great crease color or a color to mix with pinks/lavendar/peach it is a great staple to have in your makeup bag.
