These paints are great as bases. They're easy to work with. Easy to spread and smooth out and really holds the color up throughout the day. I find that if you find the right color to use as base, you really intensify / transform the eyeshadow's original color. I use bare canvas all the time. I think it's a great base for matte shadows as well. The price looks a little steep for a small tube, but believe me, a little goes a long way and it's well worth it! -
Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint
I think this is a mediocre lipbalm. While i do love it and when i run out, i'll pick it up when i see it. I don't find it super great. I really don't like the smell of this, but then smell doesn't bother me that much. This does what... +
I think this is a mediocre lipbalm. While i do love it and when i run out, i'll pick it up when i see it. I don't find it super great. I really don't like the smell of this, but then smell doesn't bother me that much. This does what a lipbalm does and the price is decent. I probably still have a few lying around. -

I do love this lipbalm. I don't go to it often because it's a bit of a hassel to squeeze it out and put it on my lips with my fingers...and then wipe it off my fingers. But i do find myself pulling it out in desperate times. When my lips are extremely dry and chapped. i put a generous layer on and in no time, it feels less sore. I also do makeup sometimes. And a lot of times, the models have super super chapped lips.... it's my pet peeve because not only is it hard to apply lip products, but it's also looks bad on camera. So i apply this after i finished applying the base. By the time i'm done with the face and i move on to the lips, it's nice and moisturized. This product is non-scented and really does the job. It is kind of pricey for around 98% petroleum..but somehow.. that 2% of other ingredients do work better than just plain old vaseline. -

I love love love love this perfume... did i mention that i LOVE this perfume? I've tried so many other ones, they all smell quite nice and i use them, but it doesn't have the WOW factor. I always try to look for new perfume and i find myself always coming back to this one. It''s a nice classic scent that's not too overpowering or too strong/old lady-ish. It's fresh, floral-y and flirty. This is the only perfume that i've wore that i got compliments for. I've had a couple people walk by me and then asked me what perfume i'm wearing. I like the Eau du Perfume a lot more than the toilette. It smells a bit different and this also has more staying power. I definitely recommend this perfume!! -

I've had my macbook since Sept 2006 i believe. and i still love it. It looks so nice and white with a very chic design. The only downfall with the looks is that the white gets dirty easily... but i can't complain, because i picked it. In terms of it's capability, i've gotten so used to it and i find it very user friendly. There are also really cool programs that come with it. I'm a klutz and i'm not very good with computers. But i haven't killed this one yet. I haven't even gotten a virus or had to reinstall the computer. There are downfalls though. At Uni, sometimes the programs required are Windows only. I've tried using a windows partition but it was very slow. So that was kind of inconvenient. I also hate how it's sort of heavy. It looks cute and dainty, but it does weight more than it looks. I carry it to work, to school etc ... and it's a pain to lug around. Especially with the huge battery. The price is a bit steep for laptops with around the sam specs. But honestly, it looks good, and it doesn't die easily. -

I was really excited about this mascara since it's suppose to sparkle. i bought black emerald and was kind of disappointed. To start of with the formula is just like the original lashblast. I'm okay with the formula, i don't love it, i don't hate it. It did an average job as an mascara. I love stuff that sparkles and this masacara didn't really deliver what it promises. There were tiny specks of sparkles but it wasn't noticeable, up close or from far away. It was a good alternative to have as a softer colored masacara. But since i like my masacaras dark and dramatic, this didn't really do the trick for me. If you want something subtle, this will do the trick. -

I think this foundation really deliver what it promises. An air-whipped light textured foundation that doesn't sink into pores, instead, it glides over pores and creates a nice finish. When i first tried this, i put this on one side of face with my Make up forever HD on the other. This felt a lot lighter than the MUFE HD foundation. I really liked this because i hate the liquidy foundationy feeling with liquid foundations. I think this foundation would be great for those who need light to medium coverage. The coverage first applies on light but is definitely build-able without looking too cakey. I'm just not sure if i'll use this all the time since it does take a bit of effort for a higher coverage. I will try applying this foundation using different methods (fingers, stippling brush, sponge etc) to see which is a better method. I didn't have any reaction or allergies to this, which is good. So far, i like the lightweight feeling and the foundation's ability to minimize the look of pores. -

I really love love love this product. It's always in my purse. I remember i found out this product when i was at a greyhound bus stop and this girl's eyes was sparkling. At first i thought it was her eyelashes but she told me it was just a glitter liner. The next thing you know, it's a permanent in my purse. One of the things that i love the most is that it looks like pretty glitter, but doesn't feel like the harsh edged glitter. I've tried so many different brands before and they were harsh, especially when you're trying to clean it. This also have a great payoff. It kind of looks scary in the jar, like super flashy glittery, but i put a super tiny thin line under my eyes and it just pops. It doesn't look like clown glitter. The price is great. I've had the tube for the longest time and i've never ran out....i since bought the other colors and love it just as much. I really really recommend this product if you want eyes that sparkle. -

This lip gloss is very versatile. It can be worn alone or with any lipstick you wish. Just be careful if you're using a super dark lipstick because it may contaminate the colors of the gloss. You can just wipe it off with tissue before putting it back in. In terms of color, it gives off a great sheen with a hint of shimmer. It may look like a lot of shimmer in the tube, but i think it's perfect when put on lips. I'm not sure of it's moisturizing properties but it felt like it moisturized my lips a little. I've also used it when my lipstick felt dry to perk it up a little. It's got a great scent. One of the things i like about it the most is that fact that it's not super sticky/tacky. i really don't like thick gooey lip gloss, and this one hit home for me. The packaging is pretty and it's pretty cool that it lights up. I don't think i've seen that before. The price may be a bit steep but it contains a lot of products and it also features a in built light... Overall, i really do like this lip gloss. This color is very versatile, but maybe if there were different colors, it'll be more fun. -

This is the classic cult favorite pimple cream. It does what it promise, dry out pimples. When i see a little red dot almost coming out, i put this stuff on. It doesn't totally get rid of it, but it does help. The only down side is that it can be a bit drying. Especially when you're breaking out in a certain area and you put that stuff in larger areas. It does leave a pink mark and stain... oh and also smells horrible... but i can deal with it. -
