HOLY GRAIL!highlighter!ive tried several including the famous becca shimmering skin perfector(which is good) but this one is hands down the best and the only one that does not make my pores look enlarged.unlike other highlighting powders it does not look shimmery in the compact form but gives the perfect natural highlight when applied to the face!im soo glad i discovered this product!!lovve!!i'm NC 30-35 for reference

Lipstick -New York Color - Ultra Moist Lip Wear Retro Red 308B

1)great color-true to its name very retro 2)smells funny and cheap 3)cheap packaging mine broke while travelling 4)the lipstick bleeds very easily I never wear lipstick but I was searching for the perfect red, and this is it! It works for me and for .99 cents you can't beat it. It does smudge and is sort of annoying to put on perfectly, but the color is great all in all great if you want to experiment with colors cuz its so cheap

awful,clumpy,dry,over priced.especially after seeing rave reviews about this product in several magazines etc.just good marketing i guess.expected it to be really good but it was just a bad bad mascara.MAC mascaras are wayyy better

i really like all mac mascaras,no idea why ppl dont seem to like them, i have tried ALL the so called HG mascaras(ysl faux cils.diorshow,estee lauder etc.) however i find mac mascaras the best. Wore this mascara to a pool party where i got a little wet not too much but the mascara stayed on.will definately repurchase only mac mascaras from now on.the prices are close to drugstore mascaras aswell

Liquid -MAC - Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15
rated 5 of 5
thelondongirl 5/25/2010 6:30:00 PM

amazing product!i rarely write reviews but after trying several foundations and coming back to this one i had to write a review!brilliant coverage without looking cakey!i have a lot of acne cars and it concealed everything without looking like i had a lot of makeup on!i've tried several foundations-chanel light reflecting foundation(extremely thick n cakey),chanel matte lumiere,mufe hd,mufe matte velvet(pretty good,great packaging),bobbi brown foundation stick(also quite good),nars sheer glow(not bad) and the worst!-clinique even better which has a horrible colour range thats way too pink,after trying all these foundations and more i have come to the conclusion that mac studio fix fluid is the BEST!and is also a great colour match for anyone with a south asian complexion,highly recommend it to anyone who requires a lot of coverage without looking cakey!

all the reviews i read about this product were really good,however you have to actually use it to see how brilliant this product is,im a makeup junkie n have tried all the brands nars,chanel,mac but nohing comes close to this bronzer it blends soo well, n looks completely natural.LOVE the fact that it has no glitter,its excellent for contouring
