I love red lipstick, but it has to have a yellow base. Reds with a blue base look violet on me, which I don't like. My current favorite red is Maybelline's "Dessert Sunset" (F205). It's a red with a yellow base that is neither too deep, too bright, nor brown-looking. It feels nice, too. My only problem is that I think maybe "Dessert Sunset" has been discontinued because lately I haven't been able to find it anywhere. It is so much nicer on me than other lipsticks costing three times as much. With any luck, Maybelline will bring it back with a new name and maybe new packaging. As long as it's the same product, I'll be happy.

I love this primer! I tend to change moisturizers and foundations every so often. During the past few years I have used this primer over a number of different moisturizers and under different foundations, and have found it to work very well every time. This primer keeps its promises! It's expensive, though. Not being a prestige-line snob, I have tired other far less expensive primers and, unfortunately, none of them has worked like this one. It's well worth the Smashbox price tag.

I've always used powder blushers because I could never find a cream blush that was light weight enough to apply over a foundation and a setting powder without dragging them. This sheer cream blush is light weight and can be dabbed easily and evenly over foundation before applying powder, OR over a shaded or translucent powder, without dragging. I am currently using "Beaming", although I like most of the other shades as well. It lasts all day, isn't overly radiant, and won't break the bank.

You've got to give Clinique its props for having been a front-runner years ago in the pure ingredients department. While Clinique offers pure, high-quality products, other manufacturers have long since jumped on the band wagon by offering similar products with similar ingredients at far more affordable prices. Dramatically Different is a very good, all-around general-appeal moisturizer, and were it not for the high price, I would give it a better rating. Clinique keeps coming up with imaginative products, but they no longer corner the market on purity and quality.

I love the entire NYX line of cosmetics! The lip and eye pencils come in beautiful colors and feel very creamy and comfortable. I actually sharpen the eye pencils as much as possible to use them as easy-to-apply eye liners, as opposed to shadows. Check out all the NYX products at an ULTA store. You can't beat this line for a wide variety of pretty shades for very little money.

When I asked my dermatologist to recommend a high-quality low-priced skin care regimen, he told me without hesitation that He confirmed my suspicion that high-priced, beautifully-packaged department store skin care products don't necessarily deliver better results than drug store items, and that's particularly true of the Aveeno Positively Radiant line. Give this affordable available cleanser a try!

I enjoy using this toner very much. I like the fact that it's alcohol free and still removes any trace of residue. Higher priced toners with all their purified ingredients can't do a better job than this toner.

If this foundation had lived up to its claims I would not have returned it. Not only did I have some difficulty finding a shade I liked, it didn't cover or blend well and felt uncomfortable on my skin. I may have been slightly allergic to one of the many components in this makeup. Far less expensive drugstore foundations perform far better than this one. I don't see myself trying it again.

My skin type is normal-to-dry, so Elizabeth Arden's Intervene Makeup is perfect for me during warm weather months because it wears well despite facial perspiration. The beautiful array of shades and the fact that it lasts a very long time make it well worth the price. It is blendable and looks great with or without a shaded or translucent powder. Not for very dry skin or skin that tends to be very dry in cold weather.

I've been wearing L'Oreal's Voluminous Original Mascara for years. Once in a while I will try another L'Oreal mascara, and even a more expensive brand when I find one on sale, but I always come back to this one. It goes on well, lasts a long time, wears all day without flaking, comes with a great brush, and is affordable and available everywhere. I highly recommend it!
