Blush -NARS - Desire
xokimberley 3/28/2004 3:38:00 PM
This blush was way too cool for my MAC NC40 skin, and it applied very streaky, despite my efforts at using a light hand. I find that a lot of the matte NARS blush shades are like this.

Eyeliner -Revlon - Softstroke Powderliner-All
xokimberley 12/3/2003 3:16:00 PM
I absolutely adore these pencils! They're so soft, and they don't smudge or crease since they're powder-based. Definitely my HG eyeliner! And for everyone who has complaints about them not sharpening well, stick them in the freezer for about ten minutes before you sharpen them, and they will be fine!

Blush -NARS - Torrid
xokimberley 11/27/2003 9:33:00 PM
This is my new HG blush!! This is a darker version of Deep Throat. Perfect for medium-dark toned girls to get their peach glow on! And it gave me the most gorgeous glow in less than a minute! I can't believe how great this is! Note: Got this from Saks, but the Sephora tester looked way darker and more orange than it actually is. So if you see it there, make you open a box and glance at the actual color!

Moisturizers -NARS - Aqua Gel Hydrator
xokimberley 11/27/2003 1:23:00 PM
I've only been using for stuff for a few days and my skin already looks and feels so much better! I don't just use it at night, I use it after washing my face. It does wonders for my dry skin, so this will be great for the wintertime! I think that the packaging looks great as well! A beautiful addition to my skincare products.

Makeup Brushes -MAC - Shademates Five brush set - Nordstrom Anniversary Summer 2003
xokimberley 11/26/2003 3:41:00 PM
This is the first set of nice brushes I've ever gotten (I usually use brushes from the craft store which I adore!). I used it today and the 224 is absolutely amazing for a wash! It blends so perfectly and great rid of any possible lines. The 242 hid every imperfection around my eyes, but it's a little too prickly sometimes! The 266 is ok, I actually prefer my angled art brushes, because it seems to not drop so much loose eyeshadow. And the 316 is a great lip brush. And the packaging is so cute too! This is definitely going to be my ne travel set, love it!

Palettes -NARS - Touch of Evil Artist Palette
xokimberley 11/24/2003 12:29:00 PM
I adore this palette! The shades are very wearable -the pale shimmery blue and green are great as a wash. And the darker blues are matte and sheer, the china blue is actually a eep navy, not nearly as bright as it looks! Everything in this palette is very wearable, for a lot of different complexions, I think. And the lipstick shades are also great, you get a nude, pink, red, and berry. Great deal for $67!

Moisturizers -Ponds - Replenishing Moisturizer Lotion with Spf 15 [DISCONTINUED]
xokimberley 11/16/2003 2:59:00 PM
This is my new HG moisturizer! Most moisturizers that I use tend to be way too heavy, or leave my dry skin feeling flakey in minutes. But this one is great, perfect even! It's oil free as well!

Lip Gloss -MAC - Lipglass in Tux-de-Luxe
xokimberley 11/16/2003 12:45:00 AM
My absolute favorite MAC Lipglass!! As everyone else said, it looks black in the tube, but when you put it on, wow! It's the absolute perfect shade for a lipgloss. Whoever dreamed this up at MAC was a genius! So sad that it was LE, I want to buy another one just in case I lose the one that I already have!

Lip Gloss -MAC - Lipglass Stain - Electron Pink
xokimberley 11/16/2003 12:44:00 AM
Don't judge a lipgloss by how it looks in the tube! It is a bright shade of pink, but the pigment is also perfect! Not too bright on the lips, not too sheer either. Another shade that I didn't think that I would like!

Lip Gloss -MAC - Lipglass in Desire
xokimberley 11/16/2003 12:42:00 AM
Desire is the perfect deep berry lipgloss! It doesn't turn red or purple on your lip, which a lot of berry shades tend to do! Stunning shade and a definite must have

Lip Gloss -MAC - Pink Lemonade
xokimberley 11/16/2003 12:41:00 AM
I've never owned a lipcolor this shade before, and didn't think that I would like it! But when I tried it on, I had to have it! A perfect spring shade with great gloss!

Lip Gloss -MAC - Chai lipglass
xokimberley 11/16/2003 12:38:00 AM
I absolutely love this nude shade, but I can definitely understand how it won't work for all skin tones! It's kind of a grey-nude, and I'm a warm skin tone, and very glad that it works for me! It's a great alternative to the normal pink or beige based nude!

Moisturizers -Ponds - Dry Skin Cream
xokimberley 11/16/2003 12:36:00 AM
I used to use this prouct constantly because of my super dry skin! I've switched to a lighter Ponds moisturizer since, but this one is still great for when my skin feels flaky, and for the winter! It's thick, but I don't mind since I know that it's working!

Cleansers -Ponds - Fresh Start Daily Wash
xokimberley 11/16/2003 12:34:00 AM
This is my favorite face wash ever! It always manages to make my skin feel soft, and look glowing! It gently exfoliates your skin with the microbeads, and it doesn't even feel like the microbeads are rubbing on your face while you're washing, but you notice it afterwards. I've gotten a lot of people to try this and they love it too! Amazing face wash!

Eye Shadow -Stila - Kitten
xokimberley 11/16/2003 12:30:00 AM
Looks pretty in the pan, but when you apply it, it's way too frosty! I don't mind shimmer, I actually like it! But I think that a lot of Stila shadows are over the top frosty
