Eye Shadow -Fyrinnae - Loose Eye Shadow in Rapunzel Had Extensions

I would buy a full size of this, it is a beautiful shimmery gold color, it is not too yellow. It works as either a wash or as a highlighter on the brow. Very nice and they have such fast shipping.

Eyeliner -Shu Uemura - ME Black 01 Drawing Pencil
rated 5 of 5

Awesome staying power, once it sets it stays. The pencil is soft and goes on smoothly. The color is a soft black/charcoal with a metallic blue shimmer to it. It's not overly glittery or garish. I plan to buy other Drawing pencils, they are very nice quality.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Volume Exact [DISCONTINUED]

I think this has replaced Full and Soft as my daytime mascara. It does not flake and does a good job of enhancing my lashes. I would not use this as a night time mascara since I prefer something more dramatic though. Edit: I did find that this does flake after awhile, for this reason I will not repurchase.

Moisturizers -Olay - Regenerist Facial Cream
rated 5 of 5

I really like this a lot, it absorbs into my face really well, not just sitting on top of it like some creams. It does not sting my face and leaves it feeling so soft. Sort of expensive for drug store, but I can see myself buying it again.

Styling Products -Garnier - FRUCTIS Sleek and Shine - Leave-in Conditioning Cream
rated 5 of 5

I really like this stuff, it makes my hair soft and gets rid of the frizz. I like the smell, it reminds me of apples or something. I had been using FF Glossing cream and really like that too, but this is much cheaper and smells better.

Concealers -Bobbi Brown - Concealer Kit
rated 2 of 5
christinecarl 2/10/2007 7:17:00 PM

I was pretty disappointed with this product. I use BB Correcter which I like, but this was too slippery and settled into fine lines too easily. I got it off of Ebay for half price so, I am not too upset. But this did not cover my dark circles very well. I kind of like the powder (for using on my face) but I think I will stick to LM Secret concealer, it is a far better product.

Treatments (Eye) -Bobbi Brown - Hydrating Eye Cream
rated 5 of 5

I really like this eye cream, it does not sting my eyes and makes my concealer go on so smooth. I am not crazy that is comes in a pot, but I can't imagine me buying anything else but this from now on.

Concealers -Becca - Concealer compact
rated 1 of 5
christinecarl 8/11/2006 11:29:00 AM

I got this to cover up my extremely dark undereye circles. It is just way too dry for my undereye area. I have to use an eye cream or it does not seem to apply evenly. For the price I was expecting something a little better. The only good thing is the large color selection they offer. I was really hoping this would be my Holy Grail, oh well the search continues.

Liquid -Clinique - Soft Finish Makeup [DISCONTINUED]
rated 5 of 5
christinecarl 7/15/2006 1:06:00 PM

I had been searching forever for a foundation that did would not make my face look too masky or draw attention to the dry areas of my skin, and this is awesome. The price is pretty cheap for Dept. store too. I will definitely buy this again. It gives a nice dewy finish too. Love it.

Fragrances -J. Lo - Miami Glow
rated 5 of 5
christinecarl 6/9/2006 11:34:00 AM

I really like this for summer. I found it on Ebay for cheap, I think it may have been discontinued. It definitely smells like sun tan oil and musk, which is exactly what I was looking for summer. I don't really care for the shape of the bottle, the neck is too skinny which makes it hard to hold onto. I don't think it has great lasting power, but I plan to buy lotion from an etailer to help make it last longer. I like this way better than BB Beach.

Hair Color -L'Oreal - Natural Match haircolor [DISCONTINUED]
rated 1 of 5
christinecarl 4/9/2006 10:44:00 PM

I liked the color selection and the way the color turned out, I like that they give you a lot of product, but it does not have good gray coverage. I do not have a lot of gray, just a little at the temples, but this faded so fast. I also did not like the conditioner, it was too lightweight. I will go back to using Nutrisse or L'Oreal Excellence cream.

Scrubs -LUSH - Buffy the Backside Slayer
rated 5 of 5
christinecarl 2/22/2006 8:32:00 PM

I love this scrub/soap. It has a pleasant lavender scent and does an awesome job of getting rid of dry, rough skin. I have used it on my heels and arms and love it. I definitely will buy this again.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Exact
rated 5 of 5
christinecarl 1/7/2006 4:34:00 PM

I love this mascara. I was looking for something that was subtle, for an every day mascara, and this totally fits the bill. I like the brush, it does not seem to get too full of mascara. I think this may replace Maybelline Full & Soft, which I had been using for years. It does not seem to flake and it dries fast. I still plan to use a more dramatic waterproof mascara for when I go out, but I like this for daytime.

Lotions/ Creams -Neutrogena - Body Oil - Fragrance Free
rated 5 of 5
christinecarl 10/14/2005 9:23:00 PM

This works better at moisturizing the body than any lotion I have tried. I makes your skin feel like silk. I love that they have a fragrance free version, since I hate the herbal smell of the original. A staple for me.

Eye Shadow -Laura Mercier - Eye Basics - Wheat
rated 5 of 5
christinecarl 10/11/2005 7:42:00 PM

This is the best eye shadow base I have ever tried, and I have tried many. I have a lot of pink discoloration in my eye lids, I never leave the house without putting something on them, because I am very selfconscious of this. I liked MAC paints, but they can be somewhat drying, this product is not. I hope they never discontinue this.
