Found this perfect pinkish-reddish lipstick at kohls (Flirt, #27, Dazzle). It dries out my lips..so I use a base of CO Bigelow's Cinnamint Mentha Lip Shine (bath & body works) and my lips dry out no longer.<br /><br />*During a double-coupon week at Kmart, I found H.I.P cosmetics and bought some eyeshadow that is so pretty and stays on all day.<br /><br />Am looking for some new hair products and you guys provided so many suggestions. Can't wait to try them!sunnysblog@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16557613523454884052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-67512053258138682792009-06-15T08:37:21.047-06:002009-06-15T08:37:21.047-06:00love this post! i've added a few items to my &...love this post! i've added a few items to my 'list of things to check out'. here are a few of my faves:<br />1. l'occitane shea butter ultra rich face cream. it's a bit heavier than what i used to use but it is just dreamy and creamy.<br />2. origins sunny disposition bronzing stick. it's always fun to carry a little sunshine around.<br />3. laboratoire remede hydra therapy eye cream. a little on the pricey side but worth it. (plus, i'm a total sucker for eye cream)<br />4. l'oreal feather lash mascara in brown/black. i love this mascara - no clumps, no flakes. but i think it's been discontinued!! <br /><br />thanks again for this fun post, marta!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-30390835988835097022009-06-15T08:27:53.727-06:002009-06-15T08:27:53.727-06:00Of the products from this list that I've tried...Of the products from this list that I've tried, I love them all!

EVERY item you mentioned I use all the time. How funny! I second your statement about the Trish McEvoy brushes. They are simply the greatest brushes out there! Though they are expensive, good brushes make all the difference.<br />A few extra fav's if you don't mind:<br />- Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer.<br />- Trish McEvoy Eye Brightner. The white pencil works wonders on your eye. You can use it under the brow to highlight or apply it above the lower lashes and it makes your eyes pop!<br />- Trish McEvoy Finish Line. It makes any powder eyliner a liquid eye liner with just a drop. Love it!<br />- Mac Lip Liner in Whirl, MAc lip stick in Eden Frost, Mac lip gloss in cinnamon.

The one that is working for me right now is Bare Escentuals Eye Primer. I've also tried Urban Decay Primer Potion and it's pretty fantastic as well. Either way primers are lovely because they keep your eye makeup in one place- despite sweat, oils skin... even sleeping. I've done a couple get-up-and-go's thanks to my primer. (I know that's horrible :( )<br /><br />I also love Milani Eyeshadows. They are VERY comparable to Mac- there is basically one Milani Shadow for every Mac shadow- and they are around $4. Another good brand is Prestige which is also very comparable to Mac. Both available at most Walgreen's and online.<br /><br />I've tried tons of mascaras and a standing favorite is anything Rimmel. It gives my short, straight lashed tons of volume and length. I love them!<br /><br />I've also recently started using the Bare Escentuals face kit. After only a few days, I'm a believer and lover.<br /><br />For liner I basically use any dark shadow that I like with a good liner brush. If I want a more defined look (cat-eyes) I'll use a little water to kinda 'paste' the shadow and then use it that way otherwise I just use a dry shadow for a smudge-y look.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Now I kind of have a question-<br />I have horribly thin hair so I've started using Nioxin (after being recommended tons of times). It's only been about two weeks but I'm wondering what other users have thought of it so far? Have you actually noticed a difference in the thickness of your hair? Any tips you have would be wonderful!Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094243246057992483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-30442690021124735982009-06-14T18:11:36.336-06:002009-06-14T18:11:36.336-06:001) Angels on Bare Skin by Lush.
