I mentioned this in my previous haul post.
Here are the before and after pictures.
My lashes on YOUR LEFT side ( but really my right side) are thinner than the
ones on my other side. However with the help of the mascara, they seem to be equal.
I love how they just separates my lashes making it seem like I have more.
Usually some mascaras I use tend to clump the lashes together.
I give this mascara 5 stars! I LOVE IT!.
Got a few things..
MAC studio fix fluid
w/ a pump
Lancome alcohol-free toner
Lancome Doll Lashes mascara
Such a large bag for only 2 small things. But I love the bag & it's purple interior!
I had this foundation in the past.. probably in '07?
I remember it giving me really good flawless coverage.
I stopped using it because I thought it had broke me out.
But at that time, I was using a variety of products
to help with my acne. Trying different skincare products for my face
could have irritated my skin, causing the breakouts..
So, I gave it another try, and so far no pimples!

Been wanting a really good toner. I heard lancome had some good ones.
I initially had the toner for oily skin, which is sorta milky..
I like the smell of that one better than the one i have now.
However, i think i like this toner better than the one for oily skin.

Haven't splurged in a while.. esp on makeup
there were a few things i wanted to try out.
1. Someone stole my Shu Umuera lash curler!
Not that I need a lash curler on a regular, bc my lashes are already curly,
but it's always nice to have one.
So I bought a Shisiedo one because that had pretty good reviews in the sephora website.
2. I wanted to try another lancome foundation. I love my Teint Idole Ultra!
It's the best!! So I got the Teint Miracle, a water based foundation.
3. I wanted to try another Lancome mascara, since I love love love Hypnose Drama. So
I tried the Virtuose black carat.
From Sephora:
I wanted a Clarisonic Mia, with the new exfoliating brush head.
I also wanted to try Makeup forever MAT velvet.. the color is a lil light.. i got a 35.
I'm going to exchange it for maybe a darker color.
Shieseido Lash Curler $19
Lancome foundation and mascaras. I got another hypnose mascara
bc the one i have now is running dry.

These are the products i've been using a lot throughout 2010. Most of these products I use on a daily basis.
Eyeshadows and Mascaras
Urban Decay Naked Palette: I really adore this palette. It has a lot of neutral colors which will match any outfit your planning on wearing. I especially love the colors naked and buck! perfect for a natural eye.
Mac Grain e/s: This is a satin color form MAC and I love this color because it's not too shimmery or too light for my skin tone. I mainly use this color as a highlighter and a color on my lid.
Dior DiorShow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum: Great primer for the lashes
Diorshow Extase Mascara: This mascara is really lovely. It's really black and adds volume to my thin lashes. Thanks to my boyfriend for getting me this :D
Maybelline Falsies Mascara waterproof: This is an awesome drugstore mascara! It instantly curls and adds volume to my lashes without the use of a lash curler. The downside is that it's hard to take off. But the great side is that the mascara wont run!
Lancome Hypnose Mascara: Pretty good mascara, I like it because It doesnt clump and it's easy to take off.
Cheeks
Chanel SOLEIL TAN DE CHANEL BRONZING: It used as a makeup base, but since I got lighter I'm able to use it as a bronzer. I love how it gives that natural bronze look! Great for putting color back into my skin during the winter. It is a bit pricy, but let me tell you, this product will last you a long time! Most important it doesn't break me out.
Mac MSF Brunette: I la la la la love this MSF! I use as a blush and it looks really nice on my skintone!! LOVE IT!
NARS ORGASM BLUSH: another one of my favorite blushes! love the golden undertone to it
NARS LAGUNA: great for contour! I use this when I'm too lazy to use my Chanel bronzer.
FACE: none of these products break me out!! which is a PLUS!
Lancome Tient Idole ULTRA foundation Bisque 3N: I LOVE THIS FOUNDATION! I cannot stress it enough. It's oil free and doesn't break me out! It feels really silky on the face and light! Not a heavy feeling at all! Provides you with great coverage. LOVE IT!!
Lancome La Base Primer: It minimizes my the oils that secret from my pores. It doesn't get rid of the oil completely but it helps a bit. I still get oily about 2 hours from putting on my makeup.. ehh that's just me..
Boots Botanics Organic Face and Eye Cream: Wonderful for my dried lids that are caused by my acne medication. It doesnt feel like a cream at all, it feel really light and dissolves into the skin quite fast. I also use it for other dry patches on my face from my acne medicine.
Clean and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets: These sheets are great!! I'm an extremely oily person and this helps me get rid of the oil without having to powder on more makeup on top of the oil. It just feels much fresher to use oil absorbing sheets rather than to keep using a powder to get rid of the oil.
Cover FX foundation/concealer M60: I use this as a concealer. Great concealer to cover up acne scars and dark circles. Doesn't break me out! :D Looks great under foundation!
Lancome Dual Finish frangrance free powder Matte NU: I use this to set my foundation and it looks really great. I love how Lancome has a variety of yellow undertones unlike some makeup counters such as estee lauder which have pink undertones. I'm more of a yellow undertone gal, and these products match my skintone well!
Andrea Modlash in 301: I love thses lashes! They're half lashes and they look really natural. They don't irritate my eyes, unlike the full set of falsies which extends all the way to the inner corner of my eyes and whenever I blink i can feel them. The full set of falsies also feel a bit heavy on my eyes. All i need it more volume to my lashes so I use these just for that! :D
Bobby brown Gel Liner: This liner is great! It's really opaque and it glides onto the lid very well! I just want wait until i use it up half way and see if the product begins to dry out like Mac blacktrack fluidline :/
Clinique Gel Liner: I love Gel liners! So I got this one too! I want to test it out to see if it doesnt' dry out near the end of the product or half way throught the product like mac's fluidline.
Urban Decay 24/7 liner LUST: purple is great for brown eyes. purple eyeshadow.. liners.. etc. I use this purple liner on the bottom of my waterline to add color to the natural makeup I got on and to also bring out my brown eyes. Looks great!
