I am always looking for good cosmetics, needless to say I have several drawers of cosmetics. I found a stay matte liquid make up by Rimmell London. I tried the Nude 102 for normal to oily skin. I was not impressed with the coverage, my skin felt oily and the make up felt heavy. Also most of it wore off on my phone by the days end.  In my opinion their statement of last 6 hours shine free i...

Short explaining from the cover tube : "Gold Caviar BB Cream is a triple-function cream that has a high concentration of Caviar Extract. It provides whitening, wrinkle repair and UV-block functions for the skin and also contains white gold ingredient which supplies rich nutrients as well as shaping care for droopy skin. This special cream also contains 3 patented ingredients of EMX-Wa...

To match the concealer I purchased in this series, I also grabbed the foundation and it was also on SALE!  Best of all worlds I do have to say.Like the concealer, this foundation goes on beautifully and lends a shimmer to the skin that is very flattering.  It covers exceptionally well and doesn't weight the skin down at all - it feels so light in fact, that it neither looks nor fe...

Estee Lauder's Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Creme Compact Makeup was released in Summer 2007. I absolutely love Estee Lauder products, so I just had to try this new makeup formula.  I've never used anything but liquid makeup/foundation before, so I was pleasantly surprised how compact makeup actually works. Estee Lauder's Resilience Lift Extreme creme makeup is ve...

Unfortunately, i have irritated oily skin and also sensitive one with fully acnes spread on my face (sure with the bleackhead), and all of them are enough to make a discoloration on my skin (Oh God help me, please ::cry:: ). So i'm not allowed to apply foundation on my skin, it will make my skin breakout and sick.And then i found "BB Cream".At first, i didn't know at all what ...

There are plenty of line fillers out there, and really I have been waiting for M.A.C to jump on the skincare bandwagon for awhile. Well, it seems to me like the wait has been well worth it because their technology behind this line filler provides instant results. It comes in an easy to use sqeezable tube and the price is unbeatable for what it has to offer. The texture is slightly tacky, howeve...

 If we talk about cosmetic products in India, Lakme always occupies the top place in the industry. From my childhood, we (me and my family members) are seeing and using these products, right from the facial creams to nail polishes and eye liner to face washes, a lot more to name. Now the time has changed a little and some of the other products are capturing the Indian market. Still Lakme i...

A good chap stick is an essential part of my make up routine.  Coincidently, the kind I use most often is called Essential by Niva Lip Care.I love this chap stick because it is very moisturinzing and keeps my lips soft and shiny for almost an entire day after just one application.   It always goes on smoothly and it never dries out or clumps up in the tube.  It is also good value...

I've been wearing liquid foundation for 40 years and rarely have I stayed with a foundation as long as I have with Revlon ColorStay.  Oh yes, I have strayed to try other foundations, but I always go back to the ColorStay.I like the the coverage that ColorStay provides, along with the fact that it contains a sunscreen.  The latest formulation claims to have Softflex for combin...

Lancome Le Rouge Absolu Lipstick in Crushed Rose is a dream to apply! It is very hydrating and has a very creamy texture. The main caveat of the lipstick its' fragrance which is a combination of Play-Doh and dead flowers. Initially, the perfume of the lipstick is nauseating. Luckily, somehow, the odious scent wears off as time goes by until it is not notic...

Alright ladies some of us aren't fortunate enough to have those long curly lashes and I am diffinitely one of them. So what do we do? We fall for those false advertisements for longer, thicker lashes by buying their mascara. Although it is obvious that you don't really get thick, full lashes like the models on tv.... WELL DUH! because they are wearing Fake Lashes! The mascara does work ...

While shopping for lipstick, I decided to try a different brand. I went with Rimmel of London because I saw the prettiest pale pink lipstick.Rimmel of London Lasting Finish Lipstick is available in a variety of colors, I feel in love with Airy Fairy and knew this was the shade for me. This lipstick is smooth when applied, it is long lasting for a basic one step lipstick, and it has a decent tas...

Overall this product is quite effective as a foundation for those who don't want a heavy look or feel to their makeup.  This foundation comes in a 4 oz. compact style container with a twist off top in which the makeup itself is contained in the small glass container, with the bottom of the container opening like a facial powder compact to reveal a sponge applicator.  I like this c...

I have an endocrine disorder that causes an overproduction of androgens. One of the lovely side-effects is acne, even though I’m 26 years old. I never outgrew my teen acne, and in fact my skin has been worse in my 20’s than it was in my teens. I have tried many different concealers and nothing has ever measured up. I usually end up looking worse than I did when I started because man...

As a last resort, I decided to try Cover FX products. Last resort here meaning 30+ years of product hopping to walk out of doors looking human and Cover FX being on the "way more than I would ever spend on cosmetics" level price-wise. I have super sensitive and acne prone skin and have a heck of a time finding a product that not only covers acne and the bluish/blackish areas that acne leaves ...

I am a big fan of mineral makeup.  I had been using Sheer Cover for a couple of years when I found Smoky Mountain Minerals on ebay.  I was looking for some refills for my foundation.  I saw this company and decided to give it a try because it was cheaper than Sheer Cover.  I bid on the starter set because that seemed a logical place to start to compare the two products. My s...

I have seen the commercials on television for Sheer Cover but I didn't want to order it on the phone.  I found this same product for sale at Bed Bath and Beyond.  Sheer Cover comes in two shades, a light/medium or a medium/dark kit.  I bought the light/medium kit which is the best shade for most women.  The kit comes with three foundations shades and a finishing powder.&...

I've been a Mary Kay consultant for over a year now and I have been using liquid foundation for my dry skin. I thought this was the right choice and I moisturized my face day and night but I always had those dry spots on my face that kept coming back after I put on my foundation. Well, recently, I realized that the best foundation to use for dry skin is not a liquid foundation but Mary Kay&...

Having rosacea, sometimes I need a concealer that will give me extra coverage.  I decided to try the Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Concealer Kit, with SPF 20.  The kit consists of a small round container of creamy concealer which screws off of the bottom, where you will find a little powder puff and a small container of translucent powder.  I have tried the concealer and it does cove...

I was very lucky to get this. A user on Twitter who has a big following on Youtube's beauty channel let out a tweet asking if anyone was interested in an eyeshadow. The tweet had a link in it that showed exactly what the product looked like. I was beyond interested, so I responded right away. Turns out, I was the first person to tweet her, so I ended up getting it! This is a beautiful quad ...
