MAC Lipglass

Best department store lipgloss!

I love MAC Lipglass...there are sooo many colors to pick from and they range from sheer to bold. It's not too syrupy or sticky and it wears well for a lipgloss.

L'Oreal Paris True Match Naturale Gentle Lip Conditioner

decent "sheer" lip gloss

Pros: moisturizing, neutral shades are sheer yet add just enough color so lips don't look bare. Cons: bad packaging, would be better if it had SPF 15.

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Leave-In Serum

pretty good

This serum smooths my hair better than most other brands I've tried, but it's easy to over-do it. The consistency is runny, so it can get sloppy if you're not careful. The other con is that I think it smells like the "signature" Garnier fruity fragrance mixed with bug repellent...I'm not very sensitive to smells, but this one is really odd. Otherwise, like I already said, it is a good hair smoother and offers a lot of shine. The price is good too.

Maybelline New York Great Lash Washable Mascara

I don't get it

This mascara is "America's Favorite" from what all the magazine's say. It's definitely not my favorite. The brush is little, it clumps, doesn't wear well and I honestly don't see what it actually offers to enhance lashes. Sure, it has cute packaging, but that's all I like about it. Maybelline has other mascaras that are way better.

Bare Escentuals Quick Change Brush Cleaner

it's okay

I bought this cleaner because it sounded like a easy way to quickly clean make-up brushes without water or extra effort. It is good for that but the brushes aren't instantly dry after using this cleaner, so I'm not sure what good it does vs. using a regular brush cleaner. The stuff smells like black licorice, which I hate, but others may find that appealing if they're black-licorice lovers! :)

Secret Clinical Strength Sensitive Skin

Dove Clinical is better

It's okay but doesn't keep odor away as long as Dove Clinical. Everyone's body chemistry is different, so it may be the clinical deoderant of choice for other people. Secret Clinical Waterproof is pretty good though.

Paul Mitchell Fast Drying Sculpting Spray

good styling spray

I'm not sure why it's called "fast-drying". It works great for me as my styling spray - it doesn't dry fast so I have a little time to work my style before it does dry. It's been a hair product staple of mine for years - and I rarely ever by any one product more than once or twice - too busy trying new stuff. This is a classic.

Wet n Wild MegaGlo Face Illuminator

great luminizer at a great price

I love this product...it's a luminzer and bronzer in one (for my complexion anyway). It's a creamy formula but doesn't go on greasy and it's easy to blend. It give just enough of a glow without a sparkly look. The price tag is the best part!

L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Airbrush Self-Tanning Mist

One of my favorite sunless tanners

I really like rub-free formulas, especially when you see results after one application. It doesn't streak, smells decent and the color is believable. It isn't moisturizing, which is typical of almost all spray-on tanners, but otherwise it's great.

OPI Nail Envy

Decent

I think Nail Envy works pretty well, but once you get about halfway through the bottle, the consistency thickens up which makes it hard to use and takes forever to dry, especially when you're adding a coat every other day or whatever it says to do. It's a good nail strengthener though.
