Styling Products -ARTec - Kiwi Blow Serum
MACgirlie 1/12/2003 5:19:00 PM
I like to use this on my hair when its damp and let it air dry. I know its made for blowdrying your hair,but I get better results when I wear my hair wavy/curly with it. It really gives good curl definition and makes my hair really soft. I do use it sometimes when I blow dry, and it gives a silky feel to my hair.

Hair -ARTec - blow silk
MACgirlie 1/12/2003 5:14:00 PM
This stuff is awesome!! It is part of the kiwi coloreflector line. Its one of the best hair serums that I have ever tried..and I have tried alot of stuff!! I only use a few drops on my hair when I'm almost done blow drying it and smooth it through the ends. It eliminates frizz and makes my hair really soft and shiny. Its not heavy at all, and it smells wonderful.

Powder -Mary Kay - Timewise Dual coverage powder foundaiton
MACgirlie 1/12/2003 4:16:00 PM
This is a really good powder foundation for my oily/combo skin. My only complaint is that it doesn't quite give the coverage I like. I use it for daytime or when I'm having a pretty good skin day. I use ivory 200 which is a good match for my skin tone.

Crème -Mary Kay - Cream-to-Powder Foundation
MACgirlie 1/12/2003 4:12:00 PM
This looks great when I first put it on,but after awhile it settles in my pores and looks cakey. I think it might be better for drier skin. I do use it sometimes as a spot concealer under a powder foundation,though.

Shampoo -Matrix - Biolage - Hydrating Shampoo
MACgirlie 1/12/2003 4:10:00 PM
This is a good shampoo for my dry,damaged hair..I love the way it smells,too. I don't use it everday b/c it tends to be a bit drying. I try to alternate it with my other more moisturizing shampoos. It does a good job of getting all the gunk out of my hair(I use a lot of stying products), and it leaves my hair soft and shiny.

Hair -ABBA - 2 Minute Moisture Scentsation Conditioner
MACgirlie 1/12/2003 3:49:00 PM
This is a really great conditioner for my dry/damaged hair. It made my super soft, and I love how it smells! The mint makes my whole scalp feel tingly and fresh!!*update*..after using this 3 days in a row, I noticed my hair seemed a bit weighed down and looked dirty. I think this is good to use every once in awhile as a deep treatment,but not every day.

Shampoo -Joico - K-Pak Reconstruct Shampoo for Dry or Damaged Hair
MACgirlie 1/9/2003 7:16:00 PM
I really liked this shampoo for awhile,but it began to build up on my hair and make it feel coated. It also has a lot of protein in it which can end up drying hair out even more if used too much. I think it might be good to use once a week, but everyday is just too much.

Cleansers -Sage - regular strength facial shampoo
MACgirlie 1/9/2003 6:03:00 PM
This is a really good cleanser. I have been using Cetaphil,but I hate how I have to use a separate eye makeup remover at night to get my eye makeup off, and sometimes I would have to wash my face twice with it to get all my makeup off. However, with the Sage I only have to wash my face one time,and it takes my eye makeup off,too. It leaves my skin very soft and clean feeling. I got the extra strength facial shampoo before, and it was way too harsh. I definately recommend the regular even if you have oily or combo skin.

This is a pretty color,but I had to really layer it to get it to show up on my FFF skin. It gives a nice,natural glowy look.

Treatments -La Mer - Face Serum
MACgirlie 12/31/2002 2:36:00 PM
I think I have found my holy grail skincare product!! This stuff is incredible!! I have only been using it for a couple of days, and my skin already looks so much better. It has helped clear up my breakouts,evened out my skintone, and made my face less oily. My skin looks so healthy and glowy:) I think I'm definately going to have to splurge for the full size even though its really going to break my bank for awhile:( UPDATE: This product continues to improve my skin every time I use it..I love it!!

Lipstick -Urban Decay - burnout lipstick
MACgirlie 10/18/2002 4:50:00 PM
This is an incredible lipstick color! When I first saw it, I thought no way could I ever pull this off..it looks hot pink with gold shimmer in the tube. It is gorgeous on,though. I use it with a neutral pink lipliner to tone it down a bit. It also looks awesome layered over the UD naked pleather pencil!

This is my holy grail blush!! I'm an FFF with warm undertones,and this gives my skin the most gorgeous glow. You only need a tiny amount,though..so it lasts forever. I have worn this everyday since I got it. Great blush!!

Toners -Kiehls - Herbal Blue Astringent
MACgirlie 8/13/2002 4:59:00 PM
This product is great for spot treating blemishes,but I think its way too strong to use all over. Its kind of expensive,too, for a toner made up of mostly alcohol.
