Bronzers -Bobbi Brown - Illuminating Bronzing Powder in Aruba
shwinky 12/27/2012 4:19:00 PM
Love this bronzer!! It's one of those products where swatching will just not do, you need to apply it and see how nice of a glow it gives to the skin! It's this sandy butterscotch shade, with golden flecks running through it..there isn't any orange in this bronzer..I find myself using it all over my face when I want that perfect, sun kissed beachy glow! And it's not orange/tin like ..that is why I love it :)

shwinky 11/6/2012 6:21:00 PM
forget cream eyeshadow, this is one of the best eyeshadows i've ever used, PERIOD! it's a perfect red-toned bronze. this formula is so amazing that i could use it to make a sheer wash of brown on my lids, or build it to create a glamorous. dramatic smokey. this is litterally my go-to shadow for almost every look i do now a days.. and i've actually hit pan. love this and i would repurchase over and over again!

Polishes -China Glaze - Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
shwinky 8/4/2010 9:39:00 PM
i personally really like this polish. what i do to make this color pop with 2 coats is that i use a stark white nail polish as a base coat.. i use OPI Alpine Snow, then i apply 2 coats of this color and it's amazing :). just add a really good top coat and you have an extremely bright, neon, shiny yellow mani :). LOVES it for the summer! my only complaint about this polish though is it is streaky. but oh well. love the color so i can deal.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Bisque

I really really LOVE this color. It is perfect for a matte highlight under my brows.. I HATE frosty highlights and this is just what I need to complete an eye look.. the texture is pigmented and it's easy to blend.. I would repurchase this over and over again

Lip Gloss -NARS - Striptease
shwinky 2/24/2010 4:03:00 PM
I'm C4 (NC40), and I bought this lipgloss as an impulse buy.. for some reason it looked really pretty to me in the store.. I thought it had slight shimmer (later on I found out it was just the test tube at Sephora that had shimmer on it from all the people swatching it lol, but it has no shimmer, it is a creamy, milky, offwhite, sheer gloss.. I got in the car and applied it on my lips and I didn't love it, and I didn't hate it.. very in between. Needless to say it got thrown in the back of my lipgloss drawer and I just picked it back up today and layered it over MAC Beigleland lipstick .. I AM IN LOVE !! it's this gorgeous iradescent pale color that doesn't make me look like death.. I LOVE what this gloss does to my lipsticks, changes there dimension!

Such a GORGEOUS light coral pinky color.. so stunning. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw the swatches online. It looks amazing on tan skin.. I have nothing bad to say about it except it does take about 3 coats to make the color opaque.. but that's okay with me !!

Lipstick -MAC - Up The Amp
shwinky 12/27/2009 4:49:00 PM
Rihanna is like my make up god and in her new music video Hard, I saw her wearing a very light lilac type purple lipstick.. I had to dupe the look, so I went into my local MAC Pro store, and I found Up The Amp.. oh my goodness.. WHAT A GORGEOUS COLOR !!.. It wasn't that light purple color I was looking for, but when I got home I mixed it with Myth and I got exactly what I wanted.. it's so versatile, and you can create many looks with it.. you can wear it bold or you can use it with a very light hand and create a softer look.. it applies like a dream too.. this is a what a lipstick should be.. LOVESSSSS IT !

Eye Shadow -Kat Von D - Rock'n'Roll Palette (Sephora BI Exclusive)
shwinky 12/13/2009 10:12:00 AM
I got this palette for free at Sephora with my BI points.. ehh, it's really not all that and I'm suprised that this palette is getting such good reviews.. I was most excited about the Purple, and most disapointed.. the color payoff of it is a total FAIL. I didn't want to give up on it, so I applied it wet with a little Fix+.. the color turned out gorgeous, regardless an eyeshadow is not worth having if you can only get the color out of it when it's wet. The rest of the colors are just average. Really disapointing palette.

just got my first 3 MUFE e/s today, 92, 84 and 311. Best purchases of my life. I have never used eyeshadow like these before, from the pigmentation, to the texture, everything is a DREAM. I can't wait to buy more colors, hands down best e/s I've ever used in my life. Better than MAC and NARS !!!

Wow this polish has such terrible reviews. I really really love this polish on me.. It's a red winish color but has a pinky/purple glow within quality about it.. My bottle has a jelly like formula which I'm not crazy about but I just love this color and the way it makes my nails/hands loook.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Pink Bronze Pigment
shwinky 11/20/2009 3:22:00 PM
wow.. I walked into mac, NOT expecting to buy this.. I was out searching for the perfect hot pink lippie.. then I stumbled upon this.. this has to be one of the most gorgeous COLORS I've ever seen in my life.. it's this insane iridescent coralish color with hot pinkish shimmer.. I can't tell you how in love I am with this color, and I haven't even created a look with it yet.

Lipstick -MAC - Amplified Creme - Chatterbox
shwinky 11/17/2009 7:11:00 PM
Wow, what a great lipstick.. I'm C4, and it's so hard to find a lipstick this bright to look good on my skin tone. The best thing is it's not blinding bright but it's just perfect.. I sometimes pair this with Euro Beat dazzleglass and it's one of the nicest colors I've seen.. I will purchase this lippie over and over again!
