Shiseido Powdery Foundation

bad packaging

I bought Ivory00 b/c I have very fair skin with pink undertones. I was happy with it as a minimal coverage, but every time I tried to build coverage it turned out cakey. Also, the compact was a bit large and never stayed shut- I'd always find the sponge floating around my purse :-p I think it's too expensive for the mediocre packaging and ingredients so that is why I will not repurchase.

Milani Loose Makeup

reapplying all the time is no fun

i really wanted a talc-free foundation but this one is not compatible with my oily skin, it wears off very easily and i found myself having to reapply it every hour it looked darker in the package but didn't come off that dark on my face

L'Oreal Paris HiP Studio Secrets Professional Color Truth Cream Eyeliner

time consuming

it goes on smoothly and lasts a long time, but it definitely takes more time to put on than pencil or liquid pen eyeliners very comparable to MAC gel eyeliner at a better price :-)

Clean & Clear Oil Free Shine Control Moisturizer

moisturizer yes, shine-free NO

my face wasn't completely as oily as usual but it was still oily in splotches and i felt dirty after a few hours

Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Eye Serum

turned me red

i also had a reaction to this product and how horrible for it to be right next to my eyes :-( this is the worst experience i've ever had with a department store skincare product- just proves "natural" is not always better

Olay Daily Facials Intensives Clay Mask

first clay mask, a little awkward

this was the first clay mask i've tried and it was weird... i dunno if it actually made a difference in my skin's wrinkles or blemishes, but it made me feel cleaner and less shiney *shrug* and i'll definitely try it again

Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum

just 'good'

this made my skin feel soft and nice, but didn't do anything as far as i could tell for my wrinkles

Physicians Formula Retro Glow Automatic Kohl Eyeliner Pencil

pretty in the package

this is prettier in the package- it dried up/ got hard and not very usable after floating around my purse for a couple months and i wasn't even 1/2 finished with it yet :-p

Physicians Formula Les Botaniques Botanical Face Powder

maybe for warm undertones

i have cool undertones and this bronzer made me look more sickly than golden
