Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer

Review subject

I don’t think I have ever expressed my infatuation with Chanel Glossimer. First of all they have the most aesthetic appeal to me for someone who judges makeup by its look :-P I don’t normally like to wear over-the-top shimmery lip glosses, and although Glossimer can look quite sparkly from the tube, the micro shimmer actually translates to a soft gleam to the lips (not glittery). It applies smoothly without the gritty feel, and the consistency is a little on the thick side so it stays put for a much longer time than other lip glosses. Glossimer varies from sheer to rich. Many that I own are on the sheer side, with no exception to BAGATELLE. It is swatched as a medium pink with gold shimmers on bare skin but shows up as a sheer pale pink on my lips.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup

Review subject

I have tried many foundations of various brands/types/prices for my skin. This is the only foundation that works for my skin. I have oily/combination acne prone skin. Most foundations either caked into lines/scarring, or sweated/wore off during the day. this product (when applied correctly) covers all blemishes and stays on perfect all day. It also looks great in full sunlight and up close. I can also use sun cream/moisturiser underneith this foundation. Its only fault is that you can apply it too heavily and cause a heavy mask effect. But this buildable coverage is excellent for hiding imperfections.

Clinique High Definition Lashes Brush Then Comb Mascara

Review subject

I have been searching for a new mascara since the one that I have been using for 10 years got discontinued and my stash finally ran out (lash stylist). I decided to give this a try since it had the comb applicator, even though I was a little discouraged that it doesn't come in waterproof. First, I applied a coat of XXL pro volume, then I applied this mascara using the brush first then used the comb to distribute the product more evenly. It is alot more "wet" then I am used to, but I found that it layered well without leaving any clumps. I am actually pretty impressed - I think I found my new HG mascara. It seperates and volumizes my lashes the same way, if not even better, then lash sylist did. Even though the price tag was more than I would usually dish out for a mascara ($18.00) I will be re-purchasing this in the future.
