Lancome Definicils High Definition Mascara

Better than Great Lash...but it ain't got nothing on Dior Show..

I like Definicils but I only find myself using it when they have one of their "spend $25 dollars and get all of this free make-up" specials at the mall. There is a lot of hype aroudn this mascara and it is good, I don't think it is great though. It will do what it is suppossed to but I find my lashes still tend to droop after a few hours. Good if "free" but I would rather spend the dough on another mascara...

L'Occitane Shea Butter Foot Cream

My feet said thank you! (so did the fiancee)

My feet got bad, I admit it. It is June and I am not wearing sandals...I am hiding my tootsies in my Crocs round the clock. So I got this sample from a Sephora order and wow, I was really surprised - thick, but not sticky (I hate sticky) and soaked right into the feet. Smell was nice, but not overpowering. This morning, I woke up to soft feet...and a very nice man massaging them in gratitude.

Bumble and bumble Bb. Does It All Styling Spray

It really DOES IT ALL!!

This is a fabulous product - the price may scare you off a little, but trust me, you won't need a zillion products when you have this spray. I have used it on damp hair to give roots a great amount of oomph! I use it as a styling spray when using any hot or thermal application before styling, keeps the hold so much longer. Sometimes on my hair the second day I will arm myself wtih Does It All and my blowdryer to perk up sexy bed head enough that I can go to Brunch with the Girls...Lasts a pretty decent amount of time too!!!

Kerastase Lait Nutri-Sculpt Leave-in Smoothing Hair Foundation

Great product for thin/fine hair

Having thin hair, product usage can be tricky because almost everything that doesn't totally dry out my hair, will usually make me look like I went head first into an olive oil factory. Enter Lait Nutri Sculpt...I love it...can't say enough good things about it. Gives me, mortal woman the ability to achieve the perfect blowout and makes my split ends in between cuts disappear. Don't use too much - little goes a long way.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel

Best money I have ever spent on my skin!

I have weird skin, dry on top, oily underneath and it is sensitive as all get out to boot...but these beautiful alpha beta pads are amazing. Started using them while working in a spa and anytime I quit, I immediately regretted it. If you really want to conserve funds and beta pads, cut them in half, you can make it with just a half pad of each everyday and thus doubling your money! I like to use them in the morning since they give you a gorgeous glow all day and they prime the skin beautifully for flawless make up. Be sure to use a decent SPF afterwards if you do your peel in the morning - the acids in the peel make your skin more suseptible to the suns rays (and damage). Totally worth the money!!!

Mario Badescu Skin Care Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel

Great product and it smells great too!

I have very difficult sensitive skin and the enzyme cleansing gel really gets my skin clean and unclogged. It feels great going on, smells great and it the perfect hybrid of a milk cleanser and an all out gel (both of which leaving me wanting more). Skin is much brighter after use and a great gentle surface exfliation.

Cosmedicine Medi-Morphosis Self-Adjusting Exfoliator

MUST MUST MUST HAVE

I received a sample packet of Medi-Morphosis and used it in the shower the other day. I could NOT BELIEVE the difference in my skin! It looked wonderful (more even, brighter, pores seems to be shrinking back in fear) and it felt amazing (I couldl feel the air literally in each pore - that is how clean it felt!). I immediately bought a full size and will use it as much as I can. This is officially a staple in my routine! I have very sensitive skin and it didn't so much as tingle!

Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Sensitive

Nice option for sensitive skin needing a little extra exfoliation

This peel is a good bet for those that are very easily irritated by other peels. It does give you a nice glow after using, but I don't think this product does anything very dramatic for the skin. The skin does feel softer and brighter after treatment, but a day later, I was back in the same boat as pre-treatment.

Juice Beauty Antioxidant Serum

Not sure what all the buzz is about

A friend refered me to the Juice Beauty line. I ordered the 30 day packet of the major products to give it a shot. I am not really seeing a difference in my skin and I have been using it 2 weeks. The serum is a bit sticky (probably all the juices) and I have to be sure my hair is completly pulled back and I don't touch my face or anythign before it has soaked in. I like the organic touch butI probably won't continue use once it runs out because I haven't seen anything really different in my skin yet.

Stila Illuminating Concealer

Wonderful for Fair Complexions

Stila Illuminating Concealer has been an absolute God-send to my nearly transparent skin! It offers great coverage for light indiscretions and doesn't appear cakey. I love the very smooth feeling of the concealer and it works great with my tinted moisturizers or on a clean face. It also offers a subtle glow that really makes a face seem less "done" and more dewy and natural. The packaging is tricky and needs improvement as product seems to blurt out when closed. Other than that, fabulous product!
