Misc. Makeup/Product Reviews!

Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss -

I took advantage of NM free shipping and I ordered a limited edition Holiday color called Bronzed Pink. While I love the color on, it was a bit sticky for me. My hair got caught in it and it was a bit too tacky for me.

Bare Escuentials Eye Shadows -

My new favorite eye shadow! They are a marathon shadows, they last and last. I have been using bravo, and I think vanilla. And they work for day and night! I really love them. The color is a bit sheer, but alot of pigmint if that makes sense. They have a wide range of colors so Im sure you will be able to find something you like. Im going to try some pink, plums and blues fairly soon. My only word of caution is that these things are messy!!! Try to keep them on a flat service and keep a paper towel handy. TAP, TAP, TAP the excess away. These arent ideal if you like to apply your eye make up on the subway like me, but all in all a great buy!
BTW - if you have trouble with the BE mineral foundation line ( I did) they eyeshadow did not make me break out.

Bliss High Intensity Hand Cream with Macadamia Oil + Grapeseed Extract.

Hangnails be gone!!! This cream is ultra rich, and has a pleasant but not overpowering scent. It really bothers me when hand creams are scented but thats just me. My only complaint is that its a bit pricy for the size, but as usual The Brits scored a home run with this one. I find that you can always equate quality with Bliss.

Ooh! This is great! Now if you find a hair product that gives you the texture and hold that all the celebs have, let me know!

Hey Sami - I got the bronzed pink too and LOVE the color on me. Not sure if you saw me question the stickiness level prior to buying it. I definitely would have rathered it be less sticky...but it isn't the worst. I think it is tolerable for me to wear. whether I will purchase it again is still to be determined.
