Liliasmommy says "Best quality drugstore eyeshadow " about Revlon Matte Eye Shadow, Riviera Blue

Liliasmommy — Fri, 01 May 2009 04:29:28 GMT

Revlon Matte eyeshadow in riviera blue is a one of the several matte eyeshadows Revlon has come out with recently. Actually it has a whole line of matte looks, that they claim is "straight from the runway."

I really do appreciate that Revlon came out with a smooth, highly pigmented line of matte eyeshadows. These eyeshadows rival MAC and Urban Decay eyeshadows as far as pigmentation and lasting ability.

I really like this color riviera blue because it is a dark matte royal navy blue that is perfect for lining my eyes with. I can use it wet and dampen my brush and I get a bold thick line of shadow that looks like soft eyeliner on my lid close to my lashline. It lasts all day and fades slightly. It is a beautiful color and brings out my brown eyes. Revlon needs to come out with a palette of these superb eyeshadows like Urban Decay's deluxe shadow box has. I very rarely buy drugstore eyeshadows because of lack of pigmentation but Revlon has won me over with these new matte eyeshadows. They...

Liliasmommy says "Love it but scent doesn't last more than an hour" about Victoria's Secret Pink with a Splash All-Over Body Mist in Fresh & Clean

Liliasmommy — Fri, 01 May 2009 04:00:15 GMT

Victoria's Secret's Pink With a Splash fresh and clean is a great fragrance. I believe that the Pink with a Splash line comes in 3 scents. One is soft and pure, another is fruity and bright.

It comes in a large rectangular style bottle and has a square cap. It is a body spritz so it has a nozzle that sprays. The smell can be described as a clean smell. Like I just put on freshly laundered clothes. I personally love that type of smell because I like to smell clean. My only rant is that it only lasts about an hour. I can spray it heavily on my body but only can smell it faintly after about an hour. This is inconvenient because it's not easy to carry a large bottle with you to spritz yourself every hour. Plus that would be quite annoying and ridiculous. However, I learned that in order to make the scent last is to layer. VS does have the same scent in a shower gel and body lotion. Use all 3 and the smell should last almost all day. It normally retails for around $15 but alot of times they...

Liliasmommy says "Perfect scent for men!" about Givenchy Pi

Liliasmommy — Fri, 01 May 2009 03:33:02 GMT

My husband wears this and I absolutely love it. He started wearing this when we first started dating and I really believe it added to his allure. It smells crisp, clean, and very masculine but not in a garish way. It never smells too strong, It reminds me of how a man should smell. I literally melt each time I get a whiff of this.

The 2nd year we started dating, he ran out of Givenchy Pi and started to wear something else. I really noticed. I asked one day are you wearing a different cologne? You don't smell as good as you used to and he said yeah, he ran out of Givenchy Pi and was wearing Kenneth Cole Black. I told him that he needed to go out and get Givenchy Pi because when he wore that scent alone it made me crazy, in a good way, lol. I literally would be seduced by him just by his smell alone when he was wearing it. It's a little expensive but one bottle lasts him a whole year. He wore a spritz of it in the morning and sometimes at night almost every day. So I would say it's worth...

Liliasmommy says "My holy grail of lip products!" about Bonne Bell Mini Lip Smacker Lip Gloss, Dr Pepper 2 Ea

Liliasmommy — Fri, 01 May 2009 02:56:53 GMT

Dr. Pepper Lipsmackers is a tinted chapstick made by Bonne Bell. I have been using this chapstick for over 12 years. Ever since i was in grade school. It is the size of a regular chapstick, has a burgundy outside with Dr. Pepper logo on it. You can buy it any mass drugstore such as Wal-mart, Rite Aid, CVS, or Walgreens. Pretty much anywhere they carry Bonne Bell products.

I use this in place of lipstick because this gives my lips the perfect tint, allows my natural lipcolor to show through, it's moisturizing, not too shiny and tastes good!

I would allow my daughter to use it when she is of school age because it is not garish looking or looks like makeup. It's really cheap about $2.99 or sometimes they package more than a couple of flavors but you will pay more, but it's a great way to check out the other flavors.

I am 31 and use this in place of lipstick or gloss since it makes my lips look smooth, moisturized and perfectly tinted. You can use it in place of regular lip balm too. I wear...

Liliasmommy says "Not for everyone" about Clinique Almost Lipstick

Liliasmommy — Fri, 01 May 2009 02:53:10 GMT

The clinique black honey almost lipstick is advertised as being a universally flattering color for everyone.It looks really really dark in the tube, almost like black cherry. It looks like it would apply like a color that would look "vampish" However this color gives you the "I just ate a popsicle look" It's fine if that's the look you are going for but I don't like cherry red lips. I have a tanned complexion with pigmented lips and dark hair. You would think this color would be perfect for me, but it is not. I prefer lighter more subtle colors. While i think it is great that it has no shimmer because shimmer can make your lips look dry and shriveled. It's not the color of lipstick I prefer because I like a more neutral muted look since I have rather large lips. I would love it if they would invent something like a universally flattering light shade but not warm toned. It's moisturizing and wears well but not the product for me. I think it's better suited for fairer skintones in...
