Big time MISS: Physicians Formula Organic Wear Pressed Powder. That's all I experimented with, and I was really disappointed. Back to BM for me ...

HITS:
YSL TE #2
Chanel Sirop & Giggle l/g

RareMinerals Cleanser
Stila Kitten & Golightly e/s
Coco Mlle EDP & Lotion

NEUTRALS:
Lanvin Eclat d Arpege - love the scent think I may have gotten an old bottle
Garnier Anti Sun Damage SPF28 - love the feel of this, but it MAYBE breaking me out a little bit :(
Lumene Cleansing Oil - like the concept but it doesn't seem to take off eye m/u

MISSES:
MAC Blacktrack e/l - too too harsh on me
EL Bronze Goddess EDT/lotion - not great on me, smells old :(
MUFE Lift concealer - really tried to love this, but it caked/creased under my eyes & had little coverage

HIT:
Maybelline Define-A-Lash Mascara

Neutral:
Maybelline SuperStay Gloss in Chestnut Glow: Nice color, but I don't think this lives up to the "superstay" claim. Maybe I'm not applying it right, but I swear this smears.

Oh no! I've been making so many purchases off LJ and IRL! :D

HITS:
MAC l/s in Hollywood Nights (I received this as a RAOK)- OMG! I want to wear this everyday its so pretty, smooth, gorgeous!

MAC e/s in Clone- I finally got my hands on this! smooth texture and really blue with tiny green iridescence!

Faces of Australia Highlighting Stick- Similar to NARS Copacabana but cheaper and easier/smoother to apply! ANother fave!

BB LipLites Glossy Tints in Vanilla, Mocha, Caramel Latte- I waited so long to try these and I dont know why I did! they smell great, apply like heaven, and last on my lips (I usually have the habit of licking off yummy flvoured glosses) ;)


NEUTRAL:
L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black

That's all for now! :D

My only real miss was
GOSH lets do the twist eyeliners.

Hits included
body:
Nicole by OPI nail colours - Ink a Dink a Pink.
TBS Moringa Foaming Bath.
TBS Vitamin E Face Mist.
TBS Coconut Foaming Bath.

face:
TBS all in one face base 03.
TBS shimmer cubes.
TBS eye shadows in champagne and vanilla cream.
TBS eye shimmers in emerald and violet.
GOSH velvet touch eyeliners (GREAT!!).
GOSH loose pigments - Apple Jam is gorgeous!

fragrances:
TBS invent your scent.
TBS white musk blush.


That's all I feel like typing haha there were LOTS more.
Lets just say the HITS outweighed the MISSES.

Another quick one that I just bought yesterday!

MAC l/s-Rebel

Celestial Sky

Hits:
-Prescriptives Virtually Fresh foundation SPF15 (Hated it for the first few minutes of application but LOVED it after catching myself in the mirror a couple of hours after. Gave my skin a velvety glow.)
-Thierry Mugler "Innocent" fragrance
-Origins Spot Remover
-Clinique Almost Powder Pressed Makeup
-MAC lipglass Sinnamon
-Everyday Minerals Olive Fair & Light Olive Matte foundation
-L'Oreal Bare Naturale foundation in Nude Beige (Great coverage, great match)
-J.Lynne Mineral Finishing Powder in Peach

Neutrals:
-J.Lynne Minerals 1.5 (tried it with the J.Lynne Mineral Matte Priming powder and it was okay but I want to try it out without the primer and see how it works.)

Misses:
-L'Oreal Bare Naturale Finishing Face Powder in Translucent (had shimmer and it was too much for my taste)
-BE BareMinerals mineral foundation in Light (I'm in the process of testing out different mineral brands. This was a perfect match, offered great coverage and didn't make me itch but my skin looked disco-bally shiney. If I dust a mattifying powder over it lessens the shine a bit but I'm not willing to work with it that much when there's minerals out there that take less work.)

I have to say I'm jealous -- I LOVED my Morgen Schick Hide/Highlight concealer when she first hit the market! Used every bit of it up, and then she disappeared :( ... is she back on HSN?

I need to start keeping a list on my computer of what I buy each month because when the Hits & Misses thread comes around I can never remember!

Yes! She's back. I was so thrilled when I saw her again because I seriously thought she was either being phased out by HSN or she was discontinuing her own line of cosmetics. The formula is still the same and thank God she didn't try to fix what wasn't broken before returning to HSN.
