Scrubs -Totally Juicy - Fruit Breeze Scrub
WeenQueen 11/30/2005 10:55:00 PM
I was expecting a fruity scent but it's more like Vapo-Rub! It's pleasant, however, and not too scrubby so I can use it several times a week and my face is always soft and clean. That's it in a nutshell! Excellent product, though no fruit and no breeze! HA!

Gels/Soaps -Kiss My Face - Cold and Flu Bath

These bubblies have a very menthol-y scent when you take a whiff from the bottle, but after you get out of the tub or shower it doesn't linger on your skin as if you have smeared yourself with Vicks or anything. The after effect is very subtle and nice and it leaves your skin so cool and fresh. I love it both as a bubble bath and soap.

Lip Gloss -Bonne Bell - Lip Lix in Espress-Yo-Self
WeenQueen 6/19/2005 1:28:00 AM
I COULD NOT LIVE without this gloss....it's my all-time favorite all-around lip item! The color is perfectly, sheerly flattering, goes on smoothly and tastes like candy. I bought several at once a few years ago (they stayed fresh in the packaging, thank goodness) and now that I am ready to buy more I can't find them anywhere!! I peeked at the BB website and see that they still make them, albeit in different packaging. I hope they are otherwise still the same. I just adore this gloss and wear it with anything and everything.

Lips -Agnes B. - Hydra Jelly

UGH! I agree 100% with ECMac25's review below, word for word. HYDRA? Ha! JELLY? How on earth can they use THAT word in the name?! I was SO disappointed in this! It's drying and ultra- glittery. I was under the impression it would be glossy and iridescent, not the flat, tacky frosted look. The color isn't what I expected either....hazelnut. Instead of a soft beigey color it's more of an orange. I don't know how I'm going to make this work. *SIGH* Maybe I can use it with a gloss or something. It was "free" with my first CCB-Paris order (and the tiniest lipstick I've ever seen) but I wish I had chosen something else as my free product. :( If you are looking for a soft, shiny gloss, don't order this POS. Oh I'm so disappointed. Whaaaa!

I have the Raspberry Tint and just love it. The color is so pretty and sheer, but not TOO shiny. It doesn't have that greasy lipgloss look. It lasts on the lips fairly well too. Next time I need gloss, not that I ever "need" it since I always have about a dozen at once, I want to try other colors.

Primer/ Corrector -Agnes B. - Apricot Complexion Enhancer / L'Embellisseur Abricot
WeenQueen 8/23/2004 1:56:00 PM
This stuff is weird. It gives a carroty orange tint to your face which I guess is supposed to look "glowy", but it just looks like a bad fake tan. I don't wear foundation so I didn't try them together as the ad mentions, but I suspect the results would be crummy. I got samples of this and am relieved I did not purchase. The ad looks very appealing and the description sounds nice. Oh well.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Lip Glide Sheer colors

I was looking for a light pink iridescent gloss and found a pretty good one with Sheerly Sugar. No complaints really (it's a bit spendy), and it kind of tastes like cookies (always a plus. HA)

Moisturizers -Clinique - Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief

My face loves this product! My Mom had a jar and let me try some, and when I went OOOOH and AAAAAH she bought me my own. I would never buy something this expensive for myself, so although I LIKE it enough to re-purchase, I can't say that I will. Anyway, since pregnancy and giving birth and getting my period again, my skin has been all over the map. Whatever state it's in, I like the results after using this. The texture of the gel is wonderful, and it just disappears in a few minutes leaving my skin with a smooth, very satiny finish. I just wish it wasn't so spendy. :(

Mascara -Maybelline - XXL volume+length microfiber mascara
WeenQueen 8/20/2004 3:14:00 AM
Whaaaaaa! I knew better than to buy this....but I did, mainly because it was from Walmart and they are so great about taking back anything! This was a tube of crap. The white stuff was so sticky and chunky and it was very hard to control the application. Then of course, when you put the mascara on, your lashes become a mass of spiky clumps. I tried again, applying the white glop to only the tips, but that didn't work much better. I will never EVER buy one of these two-step mascaras again. :(

Drying drying DRYING!!!!!!! :( When will I ever learn?!? Every time I try one of these "long wear" lipsticks I am so disappointed. They always suck all the moisture out of my lips within minutes. Then I vow to never try another one, no matter how non-drying the ads claim the product to be. (I still will, of course!)

Scrubs -Neutrogena - Deep Clean Gentle Scrub

For some reason, no matter how well I rinse my face after using this product, my skin feels tight and itchy afterwards and it's downright annoying. The smell of the scrub is interesting and it feels very nice while I'm actually washing my face, but it leaves an irritating residue on me. I will stick with my beloved Totally Juicy Apricot Scrub!

I hate the actual product but love the name, which is the only reason I bought it. I could tell by looking that the colors would be bizarre. You can get the same look and feel by putting Spackle on your lips. I happily display these little items in my bathroom, but they get popped in the drawer when my super-conservative humorless in-laws visit!

Love the color, love the smell, love the package, but no matter how thoroughly I rinse it off, my face feels tight and like there's still something on it. Whaa!

Scrubs -Totally Juicy - Apricot Facial Scrub
WeenQueen 7/1/2003 12:42:00 AM
I was a sucker for the pretty packaging but was thrilled at how well this scrub works for me. The cream base rinses away better than St. Ives, in my opinion, so my face feels cleaner. (I used to love Aapri apricot facial scrub years ago but haven't seen it in years. Do they still make it??) Anyway, I can use this TJ every other day with no adverse effect on my fairly sensitive skin. PLUS, it's cheap and they don't test on animals! Yay!
