I purchased Nars Cyprus because I wanted a golden-toned nude shimmer shade (I'm MMM/GGG, with yellow and red tones). I was especially attracted to this one in the store because it appeared to be a ri...

I love this mascara, it makes my lashes dramatic in one or two coats. It gives me both length *and* girth ;) <p> I usually don't have 'clump' issues because I brush through my lashes with a Sonia K...

Oh, this one is getting such a bad rap, I almost feel bad for it. Received this as a GWP sample and tried it once. I have to say, this particular color was so awful on me -- I'm GGG, and Magic was a...
