L'OCCITANE Lipgloss

i love this lip gloss. it was given to me by my best friend. it smells like vanilla and honey combined. this lipgloss is amazing. it wont get off of my lips. i tried putting this on before going to bed and i woke up with it still on. it has a slightly sticky and thick consistency but it doesn't matter. it provides me the long lasting shine  and moisturizes my lips at the same time. it has Shea butter by the way. love it!

TOO FACED brow-nie eyebrow pencil in Blonde-y

This is my HG eyebrow pencil! i can never go wrong with it. it's creamy, which i prefer because I've got a heavy hand in applying eyebrow pencils. It looks like a very light brown in pencil and swatches but to my eyebrows it looks exactly like my brow color(i have super fine, messy, sparse eyebrows by the way). it doesn't look fake, it glides on smoothly, and it doesn't wear off easily. i like a natural looking full brows. i never liked an eyebrow that looks like a thick and harsh line drawn into a face. Photos below.

 I love the packaging. it comes with a mirror and it's tiny and cute that will fit even in your jeans pocket without being uncomfortable. But somehow i don't find them pigmented. Its gold flecks and shimmers are very intense which is awesome because it adds vibrancy especially in the pictures or say when you are out with your friends to go clubbin'. But i don't think this will work to someone with large pores because the shimmers will only enhance visible pores. Peach Girl is a peachy pink color with gold flecks in it. i wear this night and day. Pink Wink is a light pink blush with shimmers. i actually use this to highlight my cheekbones because its very shimmery that its pink color has somewhat became just an undertone to the shimmers. i like them but i don't love them. I'm not a blush person actually because i haven't found my HG yet.

REVLON SUPERLUSTROUS LIPSTICKS

So i have 3 superlustrous lipsticks which i loooveee...because they are very pigmented. i love them! i am currently obsessed with red or should i say bold lipsticks. i love Strawberry Suede the most because its matte which suits my lips the best. Siren is a cute orange color that is totally wearable and buildable. Fire & Ice is a very cute red lipstick. And Strawberry Suede is kinda like in between of Siren and Fire & Ice because of its corally red color. pictures and swatches below.

SMASHBOX O-Glow Blush

i bought this product because i thought its cool.. i liked the idea that it will provide me my perfect shade of blush. but gosh this is a waste of money. it didn't work on me! the texture is weird.. almost like a greasy feel as i tried to work it on my cheeks. the pigmentation is awful that there were much more pigment on my fingertips than on my cheeks. i tried to build up its color by layering it but it only left me an oily face without the effect of natural flush as promised. My tube is almost empty due to several but failed trials. don't get me wrong.. I've seen a lot of reviews of this product and many of them loved it. i guess this is just not for me.

see how the gel gradually turns into pink..

yes it works well on my hands but not on my cheeks.. *sigh*

The Body Shop: Baked Powder Bronzer in Golden Bronze 01

On The Body Shop.Com it says this about the Baked Powder Bronzer: ” Best if you want to: Create a sun-kissed glow with a natural-looking bronzer, handmade and slow-baked for up to eight hours of deliciously rich color.” I chose the shade 01 in Golden Bronze because i meant to use it as a contour blush as well for my wedding. it did great! but for a bronzer, i think it's too dark for me. I could still pull it off on summer seasons though. i just have to use a very small amount to give me that summer glow. pictures and swatches ahead. =)

the packaging is neat and clear

TOO FACED SHADOW INSURANCE

This eyeshadow primer is a must for me. i have a super oily eyelids and I'd never been able to put a decent eyeshadow without creasing in a couple of hours. After having decided to choose too faced over UDPP, there, i bought it at last and i never regret buying it. i love it! My eyeshadow stays put until evening. I've been using it religiously since may 2010 and i haven't even consumed 3/4 of the tube. it's great!

I also like the idea that it comes with a squeeze tube for sanitary purposes. And oh! this baby doesn't need depotting. :)
