CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Mascara

It's good

I like Cover Girl mascaras. I love love love their brushes/wands! All the other companies have HUGE brushes...I hate them. Cover Girl "gets' it. This mascara could be a tad thicker for volume but it goes on with clumping. I like the colors and I do think they reflect to make your eye color stand out.

Maybelline New York Full 'N Soft Washable Mascara

Great Mascara

Does what it says....full and soft. I like this mascara because your lashes get the benefit of volume without tacky, gluey heaviness. Your lashes stay soft, full and dark. It separates and does not clump, even when applying extra coats. I am not fond of the too big brush. I wish mascara companies would realize not all women have huge eyes with thick lashes. I like the brushes with the shorter, flexible brush, it is so much easier to apply mascara with them.

TIGI Bed Head Maxxed-Out

Not a fan of this

It's just OK. I normally like Tigi Bed Head products but I am NOT a fan of the scent of grapefruit so I sure wouldn't want my hair smelling like it....yuck!

Noxzema Original Deep Cleansing Cream

multi purpose product

Noxema has been around forever. I just wouldn't say using it as cleanser is the best pick. But it is refreshing to use to wash an oily, sweaty summer time face. My mother used it on my sunburned skin as a child. My mother uses is as a cooling agent when her hemorrhoids flare up. She says it works much better than Preparation H. Also to be used for soothing mosquito or other bug bites, it cools the area and helps stop the itching. Glad the price is still reasonable.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

overpriced

I bought a sample of this and don't know what all the hoopla is about. You get a smidgen of product! There are lots of other products out there you can use that cost way less.

N.Y.C. New York Color Smooth Skin Pressed Face Powder

outstanding powder

I bought this on a whim because the drugstore has a buy one get one free offer on NYC products. It's silky, smooth, does not cake.....leaves your face looking flawless. I also use it as an eyeshadow base and my eyeshadow really lasts all day long with no creasing or flaking. Best of all, it's not expensive!

Chapstick Ultra 30

ugh

I never liked chapstick! I've tried different types of chapsick but they are all waxy, heavy and doesn't moisturize your lips!

Bonne Bell Lip Smacker

staple item

This might have been my first "makeup" purchase when I was a teen. I always liked the Dr Pepper flavor because I loved the taste and it gave a slight hint of color. I think I was fascinated with all the flavors but it doesn't really moisturize your lips.

Avon Flavor Savers Lip Gloss

good staple

I've always tried lots of different balm. Avon has a wide selection of lip balms and they are all good but flavor savors are especially good. Very moisturizing, some have slight color. Lots of flavors to choose from. I like giving them as gifts to my girl friends.

CoverGirl Invisible Concealer

Cover Girl is reasonably priced

Good basic concealer. It's the right texture and smoothes on. It will cover dark circles and it's thick enough to cover blemishes or other facial imperfections, also.
