Styling Products -Joico - JOIGEL Styling Gel Medium Hold

I've been using this for years when I want to wear my hair curly. It never flakes, smells nice and holds a nice curl. Your curls will not be stiff or sticky. Best gel out there.

Eye Makeup Remover -Lancome - Bi-Facil Double Action Eye Make-up Remover
Gm619 1/14/2010 3:49:00 PM
Great eye make-up remover. I have never purchased this. I've received it countless times as a GWP. Neutrogena makes a nice alternative that is much more affordable.

Treatments -Biosilk - Silk Therapy
Gm619 1/14/2010 3:42:00 PM
I use when I wear my hair straight as opposed to curly. Use a very small amount and rub between your palms. Then apply to your hair. Leaves it soft and shiny. Do not use too much or your hair will get greasy.

Cleansers -Noxzema - Original Skin Cream
Gm619 1/14/2010 3:40:00 PM
I've been using this stuff since I'm a kid. I've always loved it and recently started using it again. I prefer the one in the tub as opposed to the pump. It cleans nicely. I like the smell and it makes my skin glow. It is not drying at all.

Concealers -Lancome - Effacernes
Gm619 1/14/2010 3:33:00 PM
I've been using this forever. I keep straying and cannot find another concealer that gives me the coverage and staying power of this one. I am always on a quest for my HG concealer because of very dark, hereditary undereye circles. This is close, but I'll keep looking.

Powder -Lancome - Dual Finish Versatile Powder Makeup
Gm619 1/14/2010 3:30:00 PM
I've been using this for years and years. I now use the unscented version, which I prefer. I keep trying other powdered foundations and keep on coming back to this. It's a light coverage when you use a Kabuki brush and a heavier coverage when you use the applicator that it comes with. Intially when you put it on you will look powdery, but in a short while the powderiness goes away and it gives you a nice even look. The color does not oxidize on me. It stays pretty true. I do have to either re-apply or use an oil blotting sheet during the day because I start to get shiny after a while. Pretty good product. I usually wait for a GWP when I need to repurchase.

Concealers -Eve Pearl - Salmon Concealer
Gm619 1/14/2010 3:23:00 PM
I wanted to love this because I have serious undereye circles and am on a quest for my HG concealer. This is not it. It is very expensive. I find that it does go in your fine lines and does not last all day. I finish it with a powder and it still disappears by the end of the day. I'll stick to my Lancome Effacernes until I find something better.

Received this as a gift. It is a nice light fragrance. Sweet. Smells like cantaloupe to me. Nice for the Summer.

Eye Primer -Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Original (UDPP)
Gm619 1/10/2010 8:06:00 PM
Works great. Eye shadow and liner do not budge. Thanks MUA for another great recommendation. I used to use Clinique's eye shadow base in Canvas. It is good when you first get it, but it dries out very quickly. The only thing that I like better about the Clinque is that it is colored and it lightens my dark lids. I will not repurchase the Clinique, but I will repurchase this.

Top/Base Coats -Seche Vite - Dry Fast Top Coat
Gm619 12/10/2009 3:50:00 PM
Love this product too. Dries fast and shiny. I wanted to mention that there is a thinner for this product. It's called Seche Restore and it thins out this top coat as it has a tendency to get thick after a short while.

Hair Color -Garnier - Nutrisse Permanent Creme Hair Color
Gm619 12/6/2009 8:25:00 PM
I like this product a lot. I have very dark brown hair and usually use the Dark Brown #40. Today I tried a new shade which was a Dark Mahogany Brown #415. I like both shades very much. They are very similar, except the #415 gives a slightly red highlight. I usually just do the roots and don't pull it through to the ends unless I'm changing the color. I don't recommend pulling it through every time you color. That is how you damage your hair and get dark ends. When I get my hair professionally colored (usually a few times a year), they only color the roots, so that is what I do and my hair is in great shape. It covers gray very well. Never damages my hair. I have very thick, wavy hair. I have a sensitive scalp and this never bothers me. The smell is pleasant and it does not drip. I highly recommend this product.

Treatments (Eye) -Unlisted Brand - Latisse Lash Growth Drops
Gm619 12/6/2009 2:39:00 PM
It works. I have the generic that I too purchased from alldaychemists.com(Thanks MUA). I've been using it for a little over a month. The other night when I washed my face I thought that my mascara didn't fully wash off because my lashes looked too long and thick. It wasn't the mascara. It was my lashes! I put one drop in the cap and use a thin eyeliner brush. One drop is enough for both eyes. I don't use it on the bottom because I already have fairly long lower lashes. I've had no side effects at all. I had ordered 5 bottles because of the high shipping. It should last for a year because you use so little. Still, 5 bottles with the shipping is cheaper than one bottle of Latisse and it's the same stuff.

Lipstick -Cover Girl - Outlast
Gm619 11/30/2009 2:24:00 PM
I don't know what all the negative comments are about? I love this stuff. I apply one coat. Let it dry for a very very short while-less than a minute and then apply either the gloss or lip balm. Stays all day long. I reapply the gloss during the day. Usually after a meal. Colors are nice and the price is reasonable. Never flakes. Give it a try. If you apply it properly, then you will really like it. I love the fact that it lasts all day and doesn't get all over anything that you touch with your lips. Cups, clothing, tissues, children. I started using long wearing lipstick when I became a mom 10 years ago. I had stopped wearing lipstick because I didn't want it to get all over my daughter when I kissed her 1000 times a day. I really missed it, so I tried a few brands and this one is very good.

Mascara -Maybelline - Full 'N Soft Mascara
Gm619 11/30/2009 2:10:00 PM
Great Mascara. Great Price. Rarely clumps, but if it starts to clump on you, then wipe the brush off with a tissue. Makes my not too long lashes very long. I only use on my top lashes because I use waterproof on the bottom.
