Blush -NYX - Angel
rated 2 of 5
thepinkgloss 11/1/2012 10:43:00 PM

The shade in the packaging is a pinkish mate colour but in my face turns to a orange shade that i hate so much. I tried with my foundation and the shade started to oxidize,without foundation it doesn't show up. The consistency is so powdery and it doesn't have so much pigmentation like I said before.The packaging is a plastic material and looks so cheap. I don't know I guess you get what you pay for. When i started to learn how to do my makeup i bought so much stuff from Nyx cause is cheap and is a good option if you are starting but after 5 years right know i hate this brand. I got eyeshadows and so much stuff and i think if you are in makeup and you use good/higher brands you will not like nyx but it's only my opinion.

Lip Treatments -eos - Lip Balm Sphere - Summer Fruit
rated 5 of 5
thepinkgloss 2/29/2012 4:38:00 PM

I bought this lip balm on eBay because in my country they don't sell it. It's a really cute lip balm with a sphere shape and the packaging is a red orangy colour. Smells like peaches and reminds me of summer. It tastes very sweet. This lip balm makes my lips feel so smooth and repairs my dry lips in a couple of days. I really like this lip balm because the texture is not waxy or hard like other lip balms. Also is not oily and I love it cause I hate the feel that I have something on my lips except a lipsticks. It stays on my lips like two hours wich is really good and is 100% organic and natural. The bad things...for me is really expensive because I bought online and with the shipping cost me 8€ and the really bad thing isn't sold out in Spain.

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre in Sweetie
rated 5 of 5

Is the first lipstick I picked when I didn't wear bold lips. A years ago I only used nude lipsticks because I have thin lips and I thought it feels weird a bold lips in my lips but one day in my counter the lady told me to choose this lipstick cause is not nude but also is not so dark. It has the perfect shade if you don't want a darker lipstick or a nude lipstick. When I tried I felt so confortable. It really stands out my face. Is a pink lipstick and is a lustre so is goes on light not a bright pink lipstick. I really like this lipstick and with this lipstick I found that I need to try more vibrant lipsticks. Right now I know I really love bold lips thankful of this lipstick

Concealers -MAC - Studio Finish Concealer
rated 5 of 5
thepinkgloss 2/27/2012 6:49:00 AM

I really like this. Is the best concealer for me. I'm NC20 so I use this concealer in NC15. It's a full coverage, very creamy and easy to blend with my fingers. I use it for my dark circles and for highlight my eyebrow area when I do my eyebrows. Stays all day if I put my skinfinish natural on top. You can use a tiny bit of product to cover all the blemishes cause if you put too much it tends to cake. I really recommend this product but be careful.

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara
rated 1 of 5
thepinkgloss 2/27/2012 6:12:00 AM

I bought this mascara two days ago. To be honest is the worst mascara that I ever had. It cost me 6 € . The brush is tiny wich I really like but the consistency sucks. I have long eyelashes and it doesn't nothing on my lashes. After an hour my lashes fall out. There are better mascaras out ther for a couple of euros more. I don't know why people like this. I'm going to use this when I don't want to doing my makeup.

Lipstick -MAC - Hue

My favourite lipstick at the moment! Hue is a nude pink lipstick for any skintone and it doesn't wash me out on my NC20 . Also I love how it feels in my lips is so smooth. Is the perfect colour for a smokey look.I will go back to purchase this awesome lipstick.

Bronzers -Stila - Stila Sun SPF 15 Bronzing Powder - Shade 02
rated 3 of 5
thepinkgloss 2/26/2012 5:00:00 PM

This bronzing powder comes with a mirror so is so good for touches when I go out. The packaging is cute. All I would say about this product is good but I don't like the shades. I have the shade 1 and is good for fair yellowish skintones ( I'm NC20 for more references) but I feel that is so orangy for contour my face and I don't like it but other than that this product is amazing. It doesn't have any shimmer and you don't need to apply to much to see the results. It blends really well but like I said the issue of this are the orangy shades. I prefer laguna bronzer from NARS or harmony blush from MAC because the shades are more "natural" to contour the face.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Mac Sushiflower
rated 5 of 5
thepinkgloss 2/26/2012 11:06:00 AM

It looks so vibrant and scary in the pot. It looks like a very hot pink but when you put in your lids turns to a beautiful coral pinkish colour. I love this eyeshadow for spring/summer time and I use it with purples like parfait amour. Is a beautiful colour and I love it. My favourite look with this eyeshadow is parfait amour all over the lid, sushiflower in the crease and skech in the outer v. Is not an usual eyeshadow if you don't like colourful looks but is very wearable.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Vanilla
rated 2 of 5
thepinkgloss 2/26/2012 10:38:00 AM

I don't like this eyeshadow is not very pigmented. Is not a vanilla colour is more like a white creamy colour and is so hard to pick up with the brush . In my NC20 skintone it doesn't show up. The only thing that I do with this eyeshadow is mixing with brule eyeshadow and with this mix I love it but I will not repurchase this anymore. I think MAC have other eyeshadows with more pigmentation and similar. The vanilla pigment it seems to the vanilla eyeshadow but with good pigmentation and the colour turns more like "vanilla" not a white creamy boring colour.

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Naked Palette
rated 5 of 5
thepinkgloss 2/26/2012 10:02:00 AM

I love this palette! is very versatile because the eyeshadows are neutral but you can use it for every single day or for the night. The eyeshadows have a good pigmentation but some eyeshadows in the palette are very powdery cause they have much glitter on it like "sin" and is dificult put on the lids and don't fall glitter on your face. When I use this palette I always put the eyeshadows first and then my foundation. Other than that I love this palette for day looks and also is so good for travelling because you have 12 eyeshadows in one slim palette. It comes with 12 eyeshadows an eyeshadow brush and a mini size primer potion wich is really good for the price that it has. I'm so glad to found this palette because they are always sold out.

Liquid -Maybelline - Instant Age Rewind Eraser Treatment Makeup
rated 4 of 5
thepinkgloss 2/26/2012 9:29:00 AM

I bought this product for all the hype in youtube so when I went to my nearly drugstore they only had 5 shades. I'm from Spain and I asked if they had more shades because I saw in youtube that my shade in this product is buff ivory cause I'm NC20 in MAC. The girl told me they don't had more shades in my country. So I picked the second light they had in the shade Nude. Well, its obviously more darker than my skintone. I don't buy this foundation anymore for this issue. I hate when in my country always sell darker shades. The girls in the streets goes with darker shades for this problem with drugstore foundations. I'm very dissapointed about that so I always go to my MAC counter and pick my studio fix fluid in NC20 because they have all the shades for any skintone. I put 4 lippies for the consistency of the foundation cause I like it, I have dry skin so in my skin looks so good and I don't have any problems with flakes and dry patches. It has a good coverage but it doesn't feel heavy like my MAC foundation. I wanted to try this foundation cause I wanted a foundation for days that I'm tired to do my makeup or I'm in a hurry Smells really funky but it doesn't bother me. I don't need to put powder cause I have dry skin but if you have oily skin I don't recommend you. It has a glowy finish and you look like a disco ball if you have oily skin. I love this foundation but I can't use it cause any shade in my country matches my skintone.
