CoverGirl Clean Liquid Makeup, Normal Skin

Okay for the price

I have used this since my teens. I agree with other commenters that there are better things out there, but for the price, it's pretty good. It evens out the skin tone, although it's a little thick and sometimes it won't come out of the bottle which is annoying because I'm always in a rush.

Victoria's Secret Dream Angels Wish Eau de Parfum

Hm, not sure if I like...

I got this as a prize for a contest, but was really excited to try it. Problem is, it is REALLY heavily scented. I figured it would have a lighter smell - like a creamsicle, but it did get that way after wearing it awhile.

Jane Iredale D2O Hydration Spritz

Smells like expensive

I like the idea of a spray that will help set mineral makeup. And it does a great job doing that. I wonder, though, without all the hooplah of special ingredients, did I pay 17+ dollars for a spray bottle of water?

Almay Pure Blends Mineral Makeup

Eh..

I am not sure what the concept of application of this makeup is. I suppose it's supposed to be easy - poof! and then it's on your brush. It's more like poof and all over the sink/mirror/etc. I couldn't really judge this as a foundation because I couldn't really use it as one. It didn't really cover much of anything. So it has now been demoted as a finishing powder. Might as well use the rest of it up.

L'Oreal Paris True Match Naturale Mascara Mineral-Enriched Mascara

I wonder how this would look in black

Although this mascara is a little wetter than I'm used to and perhaps because of that a little messy, it does lengthen my lashes pretty well and easily (say, like one coat). This is probably a good thing because it takes quite awhile to dry. It looks natural and nice. I'm reasonably impressed by it.

Almay Smart Shade Makeup

light and easy

I was looking for another foundation after my Mount Vesuvius breakout from another new foundation I had tried. I usually don't have much trouble matching shades - I'm the lightest on the spectrum, but I liked the idea of this. Mainly I like the coverage. It's light like my favorite tinted moisturizer.

Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Conditioner

Mm minty happiness

This conditioner is great. I love the way it smells. It makes my hair smell clean all day and leaves it nice and soft. It's a splurge for me.. I'm infamously cheap, but it's so worth it. Always used in conjunction with the shampoo.. and it always runs out first which is the usual for me.

Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo

Ahh Minty!

I usually keep my shampoo purchases on the cheap side. This shampoo is an exception. Not only does it make your hair feel squeaky clean and minty fresh, it keeps hair looking healthy and shiny and not itchy. When I don't use it for awhile, nothing can compare to the feeling it does and I miss it.

Bath & Body Works Signature Collection Body Splash

Is that you smelling like clean laundry? Why yes, yes it is!

I love perfume. A lot. It's a problem because where I work (the hospital), you can't really wear perfume. It's a reason I love these sprays. I can smell nice, have lots of choices on what to smell like, and hopefully not offend anyone's sensitive nose. They are also super great when you get them at the semi-annual clearance as I love scents such as Cotton Blossom that have been discontinued but magically show up there.

CoverGirl CG Smoothers Pressed Powder

handy!

I love this stuff. Great price. It smooths me out and lets me shine less, which is always good. CG powders have been my friend since high school and are a nice thing to have around all the time.
