MAC Eyeshadow in STAR BY NIGHT

CHANEL Lip gloss + Giorgio Armani Foundation

CHANEL AQUALUMIÈRE LIP GLOSS ($27 + tax)

CHANEL AQUALUMIÈRE Lip gloss in #73 BonBon

I tried these and the LÈVRES SCINTILLANTES lip gloss. I like the AQUALUMIÈRE better because it doesn't feel as sticky. The LÈVRES SCINTILLANTES is suppose to be longer lasting but it doesn't feel as comfortably on as the AQUALUMIÈRE. The AQUALUMIÈRE is water-based.


Giorgio Armani Foundation ($59+ tax)

A few things from Target

Posted July 15, 2010

Neutrogena Clinical: EYE ($35.99 + Tax from Target, but it's FREE after rebate! Thanks to my friend Janice for telling me about this!)

You're suppose to see really good results after 4 weeks. I will post my results after I try it!


Maybelline the FALSiES Volume Express Mascara in Very Black ($6.29)

I've always use Maybelline's Volume Express Mascaras. I will try the FALSiES and see it I like this any better than the regular Volume Express. The regular one I got is also waterproof.

E.L.F Foundation Brush ($1.00)

I have a whole set of brushes from E.L.F and have been pretty satisfied with them (the quality for the price) The set that I have is from the Studio series, which have the black handle. The brushes from the Studio series are $3.00 versus the white handle ones which are $1.00. I'm going to see if these are any good. As for the weight of the brushes, the white handled ones feel a bit lighter. There shouldn't be any high expectations for the way they are priced. They are actually pretty good for $1.00. The bristles are quite soft and they seem to hold together pretty well. Overall, it looks professional.


E.L.F Eyeshadow Brush ($1.00)

Sonia Kashuk Bent Eyeliner Brush ($5.99) 
I've heard some nice reviews on this bent brush. I'll give it a try. I've been wanting to get this brush but the last time I went to Target they didn't have it in stock.

Bobbi Brown

I picked up a few things at Bloomingdales. It was quite nice that it wasn't packed at all. I guess it's because today was like 95 degrees and everyone is at the beach catching some rays and BBQing.

I've read some great reviews on Bobbi Brown products so I have finally decided to give it a try. I have been hesitating to get these because they are quite pricey.

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink (1) ($21)
I'm almost done with the MAC fluidline so I decided to try this brand since there are so many great reviews on this product. This is suppose to be in competition with MAC's fluidline in Black Track. I will try it out and see if I like this more.

Review: (June 05, 2010)

I like it that it is creamier than MAC's fluidline but I feel like I need to build up the color to make it really dark. I have seen reviews that the Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner is slightly darker than MACs but I found it the other way around. I would probably re-purchase the Bobbi Brown one again because I like the creamier formula, it goes on a little smoother.

Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream ($45)
For $45 it better be good, especially when the jar is so small..... I haven't tried it yet so I can't say how well this works.

Review: (June 05, 2010)
It is worth it! I applied it right before I went to sleep and when I woke up the skin around my eyes felt more supple. I will use it sparingly because it's quite expensive. After one use, I already see a difference.

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick in Natural ($40)

I was actually looking for a concealer but then I came across this foundation stick. The coverage can be used like a concealer. The color looks close to my skin tone which it's quite hard for me to find. I know that Bobbi Brown makeup is more yellow-based which appears more naturally. Ironically, the color that is close to my skin color is called Natural. It is normal also that we should get a lighter and darker color because our skin color changes throughout the year. I was comparing the amount of product for the price. The concealer that I thought about getting was almost half the price but almost 4x LESS product than the foundation. Therefore, the foundation is a better deal.

The foundation stick is quite creamy and can be blended easily but the only thing is that if I wanted to use this as a concealer I would have to set it with a powder to make it longer lasting and so it wouldn't move around.

Sana Brow Styling Pencil + Gel

Sana Styling W Brow in SB1 Grayish Brown ($18)

The left side is like a waxy pencil and the right side is a tinted brow gel with a brush. So far I like the pencil but I'm not too fond of the gel because after I apply it, it makes my brow hair look a little bit metallic.

Final thought: Do I think it's worth the $18? No, because I only like part of the product. I think the MAC Eye Brows brow pencil in Lingering ($15) is more worth it. I bought it for a few months and I use it almost everyday and there seems to be a lot of product left.
