Cleansers -Paula's Choice - One Step Face Cleanser-Normal to Dry Skin
WinnieW 12/16/2004 8:51:00 PM
This is a fairly good cleanser if you have skin like mine -- dry, sensitive esp. in the winter time. I'd normally give this an enthusiastic thumbs up if not for my holy grail find -- Cetaphil cleanser. It's cheaper and more gentle on my skin. PC's skincare items are pretty reasonable, but I'm happy to report that Cetaphil's products are even more so, and I don't have to wait for free shipping weekends either to buy them. Yay for good drugstore finds! (Even though I got mine from Costco)

Cleansers -Cetaphil - Gentle Skin Cleanser
WinnieW 12/16/2004 8:48:00 PM
I love this product! I have dry and sensitive skin and this does not make my skin feel tight nor does it irriate my skin. At this price, I can afford to keep this as my holy grail. This costs me about $10 at Costco for two big bottles (with pumps). How can you beat that??

Lip Gloss -MAC - Lip lacquer in Rainbeau

On me this is basically a very pretty pink/nude liquid lipstick. I love it but alas, I cannot stomach the smell of this. :( Too bad.

Styling Products -TiGi - Bed Head Manipulator
WinnieW 6/22/2004 4:02:00 PM
I love this! It smells like pineapple and it works really well as a super mold/paste. You only need a little bit and it gives you a lot of texture. If you use too much it will weigh your hair down and make it look greasy. The tiniest bit goes a long LONG way. RAVE!!

Moisturizers -Cetaphil - Moisturizing Cream
WinnieW 6/22/2004 3:59:00 PM
Love this! This makes my dry flaky sensitive skin behave. I love that it's dirt cheap and you can get a huge tub at Costco for a *very* reasonable price. I have searched high and low for a drugstore product that will work for me, and I really think this is it.

Eye Shadow -Agnes B. - Pop Color
WinnieW 5/8/2004 5:31:00 AM
I love this product! I have this in 'mauve' and it gives the easiest 'not too subtle but not too loud' color to my eyes. The texture is so amazingly easy to work with. The texture is very buildable, so you can build up as much intensity as you'd like. I just that this comes in more color. Definitely worth the sale price that I paid for.

I don't care for the packaging of this product too much, but oh my goodness - honestly the scent of this product is TO DIE FOR. Smells like.. how it sounds. Vanilla with grapefruit. Yum!!!

Conditioner -Unlisted Brand - shea conditioner
WinnieW 4/30/2004 8:31:00 PM
I hate this product. :( All I get out of it is bits and pieces of white shea butter in my (black) hair. It is not moisturizing or conditioning whatsoever. Too bad, because I really like her shea shampoo!

Conditioner -L'Oreal - Kids Grape Conditioner
WinnieW 3/3/2004 3:05:00 PM
I love this. I use this in conjunction with my L'Oreal Kids Mango Smoothie shampoo, and they both work fantastic together. My only complaint is that the smell is not as good as the mango shampoo. To me it smells a little fake, just slightly. Otherwise, it works well as a conditioner. It softens my hair without weighing it down. The soft bottle design is easy to use. Inexpensive and widely available. Yep, I will buy this again, perhaps in a different scent if they have one.

Shampoo -L'Oreal - L'Oreal Kids Shampoo-Orange/Mango Smoothie
WinnieW 3/3/2004 3:03:00 PM
Love this! I love how easy it is to squeeze product from the bottle. Smells fantastic and gives my hair volume. It cleanses well and it's not too harsh on my hair either. 5 stars from me for all front so far!

Treatments -L'Oreal - Nature's Therapy Mega Moisture Hair Treatment
WinnieW 12/17/2003 3:24:00 PM
I tried this for the first time this morning and I love what this does for my hair. My stylist keeps telling me that I need to take better care of my hair - most noticeably at the ends if I want to keep my hair long (it's currently down to my bra strap in the back). She recommends some pricey salon products but I decided to go with my MUA girls' recommendation instead. I used this this morning as a conditioner - I left it on for a few minutes and then I rinsed it out. I cannot tell you how well this untangles my hair. My hair comes out soft, silky and so easy to manage. I don't think I can use this everday though - it's a very heavy conditioner.

Fragrances -Stila - Jade Blossom Fragrant Body Shimmer Puff
WinnieW 12/17/2003 3:19:00 PM
I love this product. The fragrance is very subtle and barely noticeable, but the shimmer is definitely there. It's not big flecks of sparkle, but big enough for people to wonder why your legs and arms look more radiant than usual. Even though the packaging is not very sturdy (cardboard box), I use and love this a lot and will definitely re-purchase this again.

Treatments (Eye) -Avon - Lighten Up Undereye Treatment
WinnieW 11/16/2003 3:11:00 PM
I think this is a miracle product! This works so well for me. I have not been getting enough sleep and it shows all under my eyes. Within 48 hours of applying this productt 2x a day, my dark circles are gone gone gone! If you stop using it, the circles will come back though. However, I have never used anything quite like this. It's a temporary fix but it works. So give it a try. It does not eliminate eye bags but I have been needing my concealer so much less now since I use this. The price is quite modest as well, which is definitely a plus in my book.

Conditioner -LUSH - American Cream
WinnieW 11/3/2003 4:33:00 PM
This product smells so amazing and works so well. It smells faintly of vanilla and something else.. I can't quite place it. It gives my hair such shine and control, I cannot stop stroking my hair. I used it the night before when I was soaking in the bathtub and then again after I shampooed (I just put it at the ends). I woke up with the most amazing scent in my hair. This makes me feel so sexy. THUMBS UP for this one!

Other -L'Occitane - Sunscreen SPF 30
WinnieW 5/19/2003 3:55:00 PM
I love the high UVA protection this sunscreen has, but it's way too greasy even for my dry skin. I can't even stand to put this on my body. There are other sunscreen as effective as this that are not as greasy.
