Powder -Estee Lauder - Nutritious Vita-Mineral Loose Powder Makeup SPF 15
simmygirl 5/12/2011 5:48:00 AM
I really love this product and cant believe the low rating it has! I hardly dont write any reviews anymore but this product deserves one! I am pale, combo/acne/sensitive skin and have got some post-acne red marks on my chin. This powder really covers it wel and looks very natural and I dont feel it on my face! Its very lightweight and so easy to apply. Just forget about the brush that comes with it, those things are always lame, but with a round kabuki (how do you write this?) brush its very easy, almost dont need a mirror! It lasts all day and looks great in daylight and office-light, makes my skin glow without getting oily. I'm using this product now for 2 weeks and didnt had a pimple at all, my skin looks beautifull and better then it ever did before and I think this product definatly has something to do with that. I can highly recommend!

Moisturizers -Neal's Yard - Power Berry Moisturiser
simmygirl 5/3/2010 6:07:00 AM
I can't believe this product hasnt got more positive reviews. Personally im a big fan. Im pregnant now with bad chin hormonal breakouts and dry/sensitive skin all over. This moisturizer is great and makes my skin smooth and even and gets the red out. Make up goes on perfectly and my skin feels soft and hydrated all day without making it oily and shiny. Also no breakouts! I will definatly repurchase this cream.

Cleansers -Neal's Yard - Palmarosa Face Wash
simmygirl 5/3/2010 6:03:00 AM
I really like this cleanser, its like nothing I've tried before. Im pegnant now with breakouts but also have very dry and sensitive skin. I use Estee Lauders Maximum Cover light make up to camouflage my face and this very mild cleanser in one go fully gets rid of it without stripping my skin. I find it a great product and almost all natural. Im not so keen on the garden smell it has but im not complaining: I love this product and can highly recommend!!

Blush -NARS - The Multiple in Orgasm
simmygirl 7/16/2008 9:07:00 AM
After the low rates this product got on make up alley and after reading all those negative reviews I thought I definatly wouldnt buy the multiple in orgasm. But on a sunny day in Miami when I entered Sephora my eye went straight for the Nars section and I couldnt help it to just try out how the multiple in orgasm looked on me and I have to see I was immediatly sold! I cannot understand why this product scores so low. It works great over foundation or just on bare face and gives a great glow. I don't find this product glitter-ish at all. It just peachy glows. I have fair combination/sensitive skin and it doesnt smear off/dissapears or gave me breakouts and I found it longlasting as well. I can recommend this to anybody who want to look healthy and glowy, it's worth the price!

Tinted Moisturizer -Kiss My Face - Tinted Moisturizer [DISCONTINUED]
simmygirl 5/22/2008 7:51:00 AM
I cant believe this product has such a low score. I really like it and can can highly recommend it. I have pale skin and some acne around my chin and mouth. Make sure you use a light oil free moisturizer before applying the tinted moisturizer. Then it covers a lot and it feels and looks like you're not wearing make up at all!! its perfect for me and it lasts all day, even on 8-hour office days. I need a little bit of concealer on pimples but that's all, it is strong enough to cover undereye circles and takes most of the red out of your face. Some cream blush afterwards ( I can highly recommend the shiseido cream blush make up stick in abricot or Nars Multiple in Portofino) and you really have a pretty glowing face. I also like it that it doesnt clog my pores and that it is mostly without chemicals. Ps the colours can be a bit confusing. I have quite pale skin (pale but not absolutely poreclain) and use the colour beach, looks great!

Fragrances -Donna Karan - Black Cashmere
simmygirl 10/30/2007 11:00:00 AM
I wore this in the winter season of 2003 and really loved it then. I just painted my hair black then so I found myself really mysterious and Black Cashmere complemented that completely. Now I'm back to light blonde hair again and really want to buy Black Cashmere again because it's so original and mysterious and not a lot of people wear it. I think it's good that it's not broadly advertised like coco mademoiselle with keira nightly or those other fragrances, that keeps it exclusive. Normally I like fruity perfumes more but this one is favourite in fall/winter time!

Gels/Soaps -Philosophy - Melon Daiquiri 3-in-1
simmygirl 8/21/2007 9:45:00 AM
I really adore this product, it is so great for traveling. It smells really nice, but that's very personal as well I think. The formula itself is what is really good. I also bought mint chocolate chip and that is also a great smell but also really nice. The formula is soft and creamy and very gente on your skin, hair and scalp. A little conditionor is still necesarry though. I cant wait to try it in the bath as well. But again, for traveling it's great and it keeps on going forever because it's so concentrated, you dont need a lot to wash your whole body or wash your hair.

simmygirl 5/3/2007 4:32:00 AM
I'm verry happy with this product! It's not heavy, verry light, good solid coverage (enough to cover pimples and acne scars) but still looks really natural. Easy to apply and lasts all day and night. Good to wear in summer and in winter. I really like this. Not available yet in The Netherlands, but when I go back to the states this summer for holiday I definatly take a couple of those bottles back with me. Absolutaly no negative things about this foundation!! Love it!

Liquid -Biotherm - Light! Easy-blend Foundation Veil
simmygirl 4/3/2006 12:56:00 PM
This stuff is awsome!! really good! verry light texture (as the name says), very natural feeling but most import I think is that it looks so damm natural! you can't see any trace of make up on your skin, tough it covers any imperfection, even big-bad zits! I'm so amazed and happy with this product that I feel so stupid that I haven't bought this before, ladies I would definatly recommend this to you! UPDATE: 2 years later I stil use this product but not every day anymore. I need to blot away a lot of shine and find it sometimes to greassy/slippy. But still a good product with really great moisturizing non breakout ingredients

Clothes -H & M - H&M clothing in general
simmygirl 6/6/2005 9:02:00 AM
I think the clothes sold at H&M are very trendy and very affordable! You can buy a lot of clothes and still have a bankaccount if you know what I'm saying. Really like it, so I'll take the messy stores for granted.

I really like this fragrance, it's classy, though very light, it will not give you a headache! People alwasy complement me: "simone, you smell so nice!!" I swear, I probably hear this everyday, from women and men! I also think this fragrance is for all ages and therefore it's also a perfect gift for your friend, mother or grandmother.

Absolutely the best mascara out there! I've tried them all and this one is my absolute favourite: Stays put, though you can easily remove it with soap and water and it makes your lashes long and thick, gorgeous! and so cheap!

simmygirl 5/19/2005 12:42:00 PM
This is a really great product! I am using this for almost a year now and I absolutely love it! the texture (using the normal/oily one) is really nice, not too thick, not too thin and absorbs easily into your skin and keeps it hydrated all day long, with no shine! I'v bought like 5 botles and I will continue using this for a long time! Your skin looks so healthy when you use this product!

Sunscreen -Neutrogena - Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 30
simmygirl 4/23/2005 11:04:00 AM
I really love this product, it leaves your skin matte, though moisturised. I don't even apply a moisturizer anymore. After washing my face in the morning I apply the sunscreen and then I apply my make and my make up will last all day!! This stuff is really great ladies!
