Products I LOVE: Wrap these up!

Here are a few little gems that may or may not be on your Xmas list as well. ;)

Urban Decay
Cheek Tint in Quickie
 This cheek tint looks super pigmented when it's in the compact, but once you sheer out on the apples of your cheeks it gives you a cute little natural looking glow. LOVE! :) However, when Xmas time rolls around I always have a hard time asking my Mom or a family member for any cosmetics from Urban Decay or NARS b/c the names of the colors are..well what's the word...sexual lol? Makes it super weird so I buy these for myself haha.

MAC
Fast Response Eye Cream
 I've always had dark and deep under eye circles for as long as I can remember. However, it doesn't matter what type of concealer I use (cream or liquid) I always have a lot of dryness under my eyes...which doesn't make sense since my skin is oily for the most part. So I decided to pick this up to use under my concealer and we'll see how it goes.

UPDATE 12/23/11: I actually LOVE this product. It's super silky when you apply under the eye and it actually keeps my concealer looking fresh all day long! I was pleasantly suprised! :)

MAC
Fix Plus
 This dewy moisturizing spray always helps make my foundation look more natural. I've used it plenty of times in the past along with ALL of the Urban Decay sprays as well as MakeUp For Ever's spray. They've all worked great so no preference to me.

Illamasqua
Nail Varnish in Purity
Can I tell you how LONG I've been looking for THE perfect peachy polish!? Since last spring! And I don't care that we are now officially in Winter b/c I will STILL wear this gorgeous polish haha.

Urban Decay
Lip Stain in Envious
Just a TOUCH of this lip stain and it gives you a gorgeous natural tint to your lips. Think Zooey Deschanel, Lauren Conrad, all of the Pretty Little Liars lol. The pic DOES NOT do it any justice!

Project 10 Pan - COMPLETED!

I've been reading about Project 10 pan for months now and I keep telling myself to do it. So rewind to a month ago, I decided to start. And now I'm done!

(I included body lotions/scrubs/soaps because I had a lot of these products with only a teeny bit left to use up)



*Only item not pictured is the Olay body wash b/c my mom threw it out.

I used up the following items & I give my quick opinion on all of them:

my Clinique facial moisturizing gel
I've used this for years now, but it never helped with clearing my complexion, will not repurchase (I now use Kiehl's, post to come!)

MAC makeup removing wipes
These are decent and have a nice smell to them. I have repurchased.

Olay body scrub
Okay with moisturizing, really nice smell to it. Will eventually repurchase.

MAC Fix Plus
Love it. I have repurchased.

L'Oreal Carbon Black mascara
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Much better than high end mascaras that I have boughten in the past. Make sure you buy it in CARBON BLACK though! I also bent the wand to add a curve to it to help in application.

Biorie Face Wash Scrub
ABSOLUTELY LOVE! Helped clear my skin BETTER than ANY high end face wash I have used in the past...and believe me I've used EVERYTHING. Have repurchased.

Studio Gear face primer
Makes your face SUPER soft and smooth for foundation application. Reminds me alot of Bare Escentuals primer. Since Bare Escentuals primer is less expensive I will not repurchase, but good quality primer, just a little on the expensive side.

Scruples Hair Spray
I've used this hairspray for years. Very strong hold, so if you don't like stiffer hair prob not for you. Have repurchased.

L'Oreal Elnett Hair spray
First time using this after hearing alot of rave about it. Not bad whatsoever, VERY nice hold and doesn't make your hair stiff to the touch. The only downfall for me is the smell. Can not stand it. However, will possibly repurchase in the future.

Dove Spray Gel
Too sticky for me, weighs down hair. The only good thing about it is the fresh smell. Will not repurchase.
