Smashbox bronzer and highlighters

nobody@vox.com(AprilSmith) — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:02:24 -0700

I hauled in some Smashbox goodies earlier this week on Monday. I can't find a match among their foundations (can't seem to find any that's both medium and yellow enough at the same time), but their bronzer (Fusion Lights Dusk) and highlighters (S...

Elegant Minerals samples

nobody@vox.com(AprilSmith) — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 05:07:02 -0700

Today I tested my samples from Elegant Minerals. I ordered only two foundation shades - Cornsilk and Sandstone. Based on the website descriptions, it was pretty easy to narrow down my choices to just two. I tried Sandstone first. To my eyes it lo...

Chapped Lips: Remedies!

nobody@vox.com(AprilSmith) — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 23:49:31 -0700

I used to have chapped lips. As in really dry and flaking. I've tried a number of balms and creams, and these are the ones I've found most effective in healing, softening, and smoothening my chapped lips - Skinfood's Cocoa Lip Blam, The Face Shop...

Blusche haul #2

nobody@vox.com(AprilSmith) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 05:51:26 -0700

I still have full sizes of Blusche, but I couldn't resist the cute new packaging! So I went ahead and bought more full sizes of foundation (what will I do with four jars of Creme Brulee?), concealer, and primer.

Skinfood: Rice Concealer

nobody@vox.com(AprilSmith) — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 05:06:22 -0800

The first item I decided to try from yesterday's Skinfood haul was the Rice Concealer. The SA convinced me to buy it when she said it was good for dark undereye circles, which is a problem I have. The doefoot applicator made it easy to apply, usi...

Fyrinnae: Ametrine

nobody@vox.com(AprilSmith) — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:47:06 -0800

When I opened my Fyrinnae package yesterday and saw my full pot of Ametrine, my first thought was that it was a bit pale for my medium tone. But I tested it today, using a light layer of application, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that I...

Fyrinnae haul

nobody@vox.com(AprilSmith) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 07:26:27 -0800

Received my Fyrinnae package today! It arrived exactly 2 months since I ordered. It was a long wait, but I do appreciate Fyrinnae's honesty in informing customers about their order creation/processing time. At least their customers aren't left wo...
