Mascara -Shiseido - The Makeup Natural Finish Combing Mascara
tatinacious 3/21/2005 8:56:00 PM
This stuff is amazing!! It's super natural and glossy and it doesn't clump AT ALL. Of course it won't give you the dramatic look because shiseido actually means for it to be put on as a top coat after another mascara. But I use this alone and I am satisfied. It gives my lashes a subtle, defined glossy look!

Lip Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Ganache for Lips
tatinacious 12/3/2004 11:07:00 AM
YUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMY!!!!! I just received mine from the mail and woooooooow! It smells like authentic chocolate and it feels absolutely lush on your lips. A must-must-must have! It doesn't have the greasy feel some lipbalms have nor the plasticky scent & flavors most have. I am in love with Chocolate Hazelnut! Yuuuuuuuuuuuum!!! :) Now let's see if your significant other can resist your lips :)

Blush -Shu Uemura - Glow On Pearl Red 19D
tatinacious 8/28/2004 10:28:00 AM
This is how I hoped NARS Orgasm would look on my yellow-undertoned Asian skin...a natural, dewy flushed look as if I had spent the better part of the week in between the sheets with a guy who could give the Energizer bunny a run for his money :P If you're light skinned & would like glowing skin, skip the NARS Orgasm & trot on to this baby!

Blush -NARS - Color Wash [DISCONTINUED]
tatinacious 6/1/2004 10:29:00 PM
It looks like nail polish, comes with a brush and is a liquid reddish color. I got the lightest of the shades (Pussycat) and I don't like how it dries so fast and how sometimes you can see the darkest point...can anyone teach me how to blend this sucker?? It's a wonderful idea, yes, but in practice is a little hard to do. The shade is nice though, rosy and flushed. UPDATE I'm using this again and I learned that the trick to get this to blend smoothly is to prep the skin with moisturizer! Gives you that nice healthy natural glow :)

Lip Treatments -Alison Raffaele - Lipskins - Smile

Another YLBB shade. Don't know much about the moisturizing benefits though. It glides on sheer and doesn't have an icky lipsticky smell which makes me love it :)

Lip Treatments -L'Occitane - Honey lip balm

Comes in a cute, vintage looking pot, but as much as I wanted to like this lip balm, it did absolutely nothing for my lips. I'm still on the fence.

Lipstick -Prescriptives - Incredible Lipstick in Spice
tatinacious 6/1/2004 10:20:00 PM
I bought this after reading other MUAers reviews, and I must say, I am in complete agreement. This truly is YLBB. :) What's nice about Prescriptives lipsticks is you can either put a lot (for a dramatic effect) or just dab it a bit for a subtle finish. It's a cool lipstick that you can fine-tune it to get the perfect look you want :)

Lip Treatments -Prescriptives - Lip Specialist
tatinacious 6/1/2004 10:19:00 PM
I love this product. I use it at nighttime with a cotton swab (for exfoliation) and wake up with nice, soft, lips. I like that it smells a bit like Kraft caramels with a touch of mint :) So what if it comes in a pot? I still adore it :) Prescriptives rocks!

Lip Treatments -Lancome - Vinefit Lip SPF 8
tatinacious 6/1/2004 10:17:00 PM
There are so many better lip treatments out there and Lancome charges an exorbitant fee for this! Sure, it smells a little comforting, like grapes and stuff and it comes in a trés chic green tube but that's it. It can be too sticky at times.

Lip Treatments -Lancome - Primordiale Levres - Plumping Balm
tatinacious 6/1/2004 10:15:00 PM
The lady at the counter strong-armed me into buying this guaranteeing no lip lines and softer lips after using this. Boy, when I started, my lips started drying up at the edges and peeling and itching. So much so that I had to visit a dermatologist where she had to give me a cream and made me not use any lip products for a week. Needless to say, I hate it.

Lips -L'Occitane - 10% Shea butter Lip Balm for Sensitive Skin
tatinacious 6/1/2004 10:12:00 PM
I'm a lippie junkie and when I came across this, I instantly bought it. I've only tried it once so far, but the scent/fragrance was too overpowering for me and it kinda just sat on my lips and wasn't absorbed...so I'm still on the fence on this one.

Lipstick -Prescriptives - Lip Stick (all shades)
tatinacious 6/1/2004 10:07:00 PM
I love, love, LOVE the packaging! So small and compact without compromising the size of the lipstick itself. Only the packaging is small, but if you compare it to the size of other taller lippies, it's actually the same (as demonstrated by the P/X lady). I have this in Bauble, Pomp (discontinued), Bubbly (discontinued) and Spice and I adore them all. They glide on smoothly, suit my coloring perfectly, they don't smell icky and they're just fanTAStic :)

Cleansers -Cetaphil - Gentle Skin Cleanser
tatinacious 6/1/2004 10:01:00 PM
Every dermatologist I've gone to would recommend this and at first, I hated Cetaphil. I thought that I broke out more...but now that I'm in my twenties, I find that other cleansers are too harsh and Cetaphil is just right. It's very gentle and refreshing and dirt cheap. Though I'm tempted to try other cleansers, I say, if it ain't broke, then don't tinker with it :)

Lip Treatments -Lancome - Primordiale Levres - Plumping Balm
tatinacious 4/8/2004 9:44:00 PM
I bought this because the pushy salesperson at Lancome said that this would work well with Vinefit Levres which I loved...then, after using it for a couple of days, I noticed that my lips started itching and a rash developed!!! My lips got so ugly that I had to visit a dermatologist and apparently it contains something related to salicylic acid which I'm allergic too...needless to say, it was a waste of money!!!
