Lip Gloss -MAC - Lipglass in Lust
sydklg 3/26/2006 10:39:00 AM
I think of Lust as the PPP's default nude lip. While I can sometimes pull off the J-LO colored nude lip, like Honolulu Honey if I do a very dark smokey eye, Lust takes a lot less effort and gives me that nude lip with more depth so I'm not washed out. Plus, it's one of MAC's only lipglasses without shimmer and I wish they would make more!

Tinted Moisturizer -Bobbi Brown - Extra Spf 25 Tinted Moisturizing Balm
sydklg 2/1/2006 10:39:00 AM
When the seasons changed, my skin freaked out. DRY DRY DRY. Every makeup I owned only seemed to make things worse. So, I tried BB's Extra TM and VOILA! Perfection. Seems to me it has a bit more coverage than other tinted moisturizers, like Stila's, but it makes my skin look fab. It is a bit thick but it doesn't feel heavy on. I use a foundation brush to blend it and I usually use a light moisturizer underneath (Skinceuticals B5 Gel or Epicuren Acidophilus). I love it!

Thought I liked it, then the honey in the drydown ruined it for me.

Fragrances -Hermes - Vetiver Tonka (Hermesessence series)

I hate to say it, but something smelled off to me when I tried this, both times, and after reading the reviews, I get it! It does smell a little like marijuana!

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Aqaba by Miriam Mirani
sydklg 12/23/2005 9:44:00 PM
In my opinion, this is the type of perfume that women are wearing who wear too much perfume. It is totally overwhelming and struck me as very old-fashioned, i.e., something an older woman would wear.

Fragrances -Serge Lutens - cedre
sydklg 11/16/2005 12:18:00 PM
I seem to be in the minority, but I HAD to have Cedre as soon as I put it in. First, I must say that my chemistry generally reacts very poorly with certain perfumes, but the two Lutens I have bought (Douce Amere and Cedre) stay very true on me. Now, to the Cedre scent. A wonderful autumn/winter scent that reminds me of firewood with some honey.

Makeup Brushes -Stila - #9 Blender Brush
sydklg 9/17/2005 2:22:00 PM
I bought this brush to replace my beloved FACE Stockholm #27 brush, which is the BEST brush for blending or an allover wash. I couldn't believe how hard the bristles of the Stila were in comparison to the FACE bristles! I immediately returned it and went back to FACE.

Tinted Moisturizer -Smashbox - Backdrop Cooling Tint
sydklg 6/20/2005 11:27:00 AM
HUGE RAVE for this in the Smashing Zero color, which is sheer. I bought this at my Sephora after seeing it on QVC. It is EXACTLY what I have been searching for ever since this whole "dewy, luminous" thing started. It is NOT a shimmer or opalescent creme like the Becca SSP or Benefit Moonbeam or Highbeam or shimmerbricks, or ANYTHING LIKE THAT. It is the ONLY product I have found that makes you look like you are glowing FROM THE INSIDE with NO visible shimmer or sheen. Amazing.

REALLY couldn't get this to show up on me (LLL/FFF). Better wet, but not enough to keep it! nm

Eye Shadow -Stila - Chambray Pro Eye Shadow

Very disappointed after reading the reviews. Barely showed up on my FFF-LLL skin - very little pigment, and even when used wet, just didn't suit me.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Moth Brown
sydklg 2/12/2005 5:36:00 PM
Reminds me of a long sought-after color that Alyssa Milano wears on Charmed - a deep grey-brown with purple/blue undertones. Really would work well IMHO as a wash for day. nm

Eye Shadow -Giorgio Armani - Eye Shadow #1
sydklg 2/2/2005 2:02:00 PM
A BEAUTIFUL blue, that seems to morph into different color spectrums (greys, blue-greens) depending on how you wear it. I love it mixed with a bronze like GA No. 20 or with MAC Vex. Also GREAT as a liner. I like it better than Stila Pewter for a similar effect. nm

Eye Shadow -Stila - Fleur Pro Shadow
sydklg 1/28/2005 1:04:00 PM
This is exactly what I was hoping Cassia would be (which didn't really show up on me). A frosty pale pink, with a hint of a lavender tone (but ever so slight - just to give you an idea of the kind of pink). A true baby pink.

Lip Gloss -Stila - Peppermint Lip Glaze
sydklg 1/22/2005 1:38:00 PM
I returned this gloss because it looked JUST like all the other Stila pink lipglazes (i.e., fig, grapefruit, etc.). Nothing special IMHO.
