Lip Gloss -MAC - N Collection - 3N Lipglass

I LOVE and WANT this color. However, I agree with one writer. Mine REEKS! I have many MAC lipglasses, many older and none smell bad. This one smelled bad new. But I love the color and it was sold out. Holding onto it for a keepsake and hoping it comes out again. Think there was a bad batch.

Fragrances -Keiko Mecheri - Loukhoum
stepha78 3/29/2011 10:01:00 PM
I LOVE this fragrance. I wear Loukoum "Perfum de soir" the small dark bottle. Nothing but compliments! Very unusual. To the haters below. Please do your research. There are THREE versions of Loukoum by Keiko Mecheri. 1. Loukoum "eau de parfum" 2. Loukoum "eau poudree" 3. Loukoum "parfum du soir". 1. is the original. 2. Is a lighter "powdery" version and 3. is a more concentrated version. Those of you who say it is too powder probably bought the eau poudree... They all have different notes and for those who are not sure which is best for them, you can buy a Loukoum sampler. http://www.keikomecheri.com/

Mascara -Vincent Longo - Vincent Longo waterproof mascara

re: Waterproof Molume Riche in black.I consider myself a makeup guru esp when it comes to waterproof mascara. I am a long time contact lens wearer who works long hours and was blessed w/ greasy lids, so a great waterproof formula is a must. I've tried cheap to expensive (Max Factor Lash perfection, Maybelline great lash and lash discovery still beat out the luxury brands). Pros: Fabulous length, volume with little effort. Cons: slight gummy ( rather than hard/firm) consistency, can "pick" it off, did not last my 12 hr shift (whereas the above would be on even through work + night sleep), mostly (not completely) washed off in the shower, at the end of my workshift, most of mascara rubbed off and I was left with clumpy, sticky lashes. I actually checked the product and box to make sure I didn't get a nonwaterproof tube in a mislabeled box. Overall: Beautiful application, fabulous first couple hrs, but very poor staying power. Good for someone who wants something "more" than regular formula but doesn't cut it for someone who needs a true waterproof. Luckily bought it 50% off at Sephora, but at $11-12 its going back.
