Make Up For Ever Artist Shadow

Love the selection

Everyone perceives color differently and to different degrees. There is even an online test to see how well you differentiate between shades of color. Try it! Do a search for x-rite. I find that I am very particular in finding just the right shade of color in eyeshadows, lipsticks etc. MUFE has colors that I haven't been able to find elsewhere. I especially love my pale matte yellow and pale matte green. Both look good with my eye color. I've found these pale colors in drugstores, but you might as well throw your money in the trash by buying those. They will be invisible. MUFE is great for light colors. Many reviewers compare these shadows to MAC. I haven't tried MAC, but plan to. Maybe they will be just as good... But I really love light matte colors for the inner part of my lid.

Sephora Doe Eyed Felt Eyeliner

Dries up fast

If you just buy this felt-tip, you will think it is a worthless technology for eyeliners. It dried up so fast. Literally after 1 or 2 applications. It can't hold up to shadow or skin cream. Even one sales clerk agreed that they are not a quality product. Stila makes a wonderful version of felt-tip liners.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat

I always use this

I have not found a product that dries nails in 1 minute. However, I can do my nails (2 coats) about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes before bed if I use this top coat. I will not get dents or gouges or wrinkles in the polish. I thought it kept the polish chip-free, but it didn't help watery Hard Candy yellow polish. It works fine for other inexpensive nail polishes though.

Shiseido Bio-Performance Super Eye Contour Cream

Makes my eyes itch

I got this as a sample after buying other Shiseido skin care products. My eyes itches after just one application, so I don't want to keep using it even if other reviewers are right and it works. There has GOT to be something that works and is ok for us extra-sensitive types as well!

Shiseido Benefiance Creamy Cleansing Foam

Makes my eyes water

I finally decided I need to try anti-aging products and Shiseido has been one of the first. Other reviews are right that this cleanser has a nice feel and smell and you don't need much. There is a teeny, tiny bit of exfoliant in this. But I may have super sensitive skin because this makes my eyes water. I figure there has to be something better.

Hard Candy Walk the Line Eye Liner

Ruins Clothing!

I was really excited to find these at Walmart. I prefer brush liquid liner over felt-tips or stick-type wands. I bought the black (Asphalt), Praline and the blue (Flip Side). Flip Side is a shade of blue. Nevertheless, I am amazed at the good reviews for this product. It is SO watery that it splatters just from pulling the brush out and gets all over your clothes. I had to take a brand new dress and tank top to the dry cleaner. The black would drip onto my inner eye and make a mess. Of course, if you blink, you have got eyeliner all over your eyelid. I took them back.
