Aaaamazing!! It soothes (even though the first couple of minutes tingle a bit), hydrates and it leaves my skin so smooth and even... HG material - that's for sure!

Moisturizers -Ole Henriksen - Nurture Me - Soothing Creme
rated 5 of 5

At first I wasn't pleased with this moisturizer because I felt it was way to expensive to do nothing good for my skin except for excellent moisture. My skin was still breaking out and after 1,5 month I decided to leave it alone. Then I used a different moisturizer for about 2 months, and my skin was still the same. But when I ran out of the second one, I gave Ole H. another try. I found out that it was my primer that broke me out, and I stopped using it. Now I have no breakouts and my skin is deeply hydrated and feels soft and silky. It even helps control my oiliness on my nose, even though it is a rich cream. I'm sorry Ole for doubting you in the beginning, you're my danish hero!

Primer/ Corrector -GOSH - Velvet Touch foundation primer

This primer makes my skin smooth and even. My foundation glides on and stays put for hours. After I read the reviews here, I bagan to question whether this is the product that makes me brake out? For two years I've been fighting brakeouts, but no matter what I changed in my daily routine seemed to help. Maybe this is the sinner? Hmm.. I think I'm gonna try not to use this for a week or two and see the results.

Eyeliner -Maybelline - master drama eyeliner
rated 5 of 5

Best eyeliner I've ever tried! It's very soft and draws a perfectly smooth line. For me, it doesn't smudge at all and truly lasts 24 hours (yep, I tried it). It's very pigmented, which I like. I've tried many high-end eyeliners and this one beats them all. For the record, I don't wear eyeliner on the waterline but only on my upper- and lower lashline..

Skincare - Face -Clinique - 3 Step System
rated 1 of 5

Argh. My face was ruined when I tried this! My skin is dry but not clear, so the SA recommended #2, hoping to get clear skin. The toner stings like crazy, but I was told that my skin would have to get used to the products, so I used it for 3 weeks, but as my skin began to brake out like crazy and got red and itchy, I stopped. It took my skin 3 months to recover!! So now I fear everything else by Clinique, thanks a lot.

Loose Powders -Youngblood - Hi-Definition Hydrating Mineral Perfecting Powder in Warmth
rated 3 of 5
xapplex 6/7/2012 8:02:00 PM

I have this in translucent. I love the way this powder makes my skin soft and smooth. It feels very luxurious and comes on pretty sheer. BUT when I wear it, people often ask me whether I feel well - apparently it made me sick-pale. My skin is very light (NC15), but normally I have this glowing skin, but this powder totally changes that. I really wanted to love this powder, but I just don't wanna look like a ghost - and the other color is too dark for me.. :-/

It's gorgeous! My face is pale as porcelain and this looks so pretty and natural on me. People have complimented my "natural" glow whenever i wore this. It makes my skin look healthy and like I've just been out for a walk on a chilly day. It's so worth it! :-)

Mascara -Helena Rubinstein - Lash Queen Sexy Blacks
rated 2 of 5
xapplex 4/27/2012 7:21:00 PM

I must say that I hate this mascara. I have fine medium-length lashes and this just not work for me. It didn't provide the volume I expected after the hype - and it flakes! It dries up very fast and it also feels dry on my lashes. The only good thing is the packaging - it's adorable, but it is not worth my money. Will go back to Dior.

This is a good mascara for the price. It gives nice natural-looking volume, holds a curl and does not clump. A good everyday-mascara.

This is amazing! It brings out the best of my mascaras. It adds volume and length - it's the perfect base. I'm addicted to it!

I love almost everything from Lancôme when it comes to makeup - except for the mascaras. Doll Eyes is no exception: Pros: - doesn't clump Cons: - No added volume - No lengthening - Doesn't hold a curl - Smudges and flakes

Amazing but expensive! I have sensitive skin and this doesn't break me out or irritate my skin. It gives a nice fresh glow and medium coverage while looking natural. I finally found my HG foundation!

Mascara -Christian Dior - Diorshow Iconic High Definition Lash Curler Mascara
rated 5 of 5
xapplex 4/26/2012 8:38:00 AM

I have at least 30 mascaras in my drawer and this is by far the best!! I love this! It provides beautiful long lashes and separates. It is the only mascara I have tried that holds a curl all day/night - without even using an eye curl.. It doesn't smudge or flake and I love that my lashes doesn't feel stiff. If I wear it on top of the Dior Maximizer, wow! - stunning long lashes and perfect volume. I have tried to buy alternatives to this mascara because it is somewhat pricey, but they're all a big disappointment compared to this one! I have wasted so much money trying to find anything similar, but now I realized that I just gotta go with the one I love and it is worth every penny! HG!
