Gels/Soaps -Bath and Body Works - Creamy Pumpkin Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Soap
ihatespumoni 9/5/2010 10:37:00 PM
I love the smell of this hand soap. It makes me want to wash my hands constantly. It smells like pumpkin, cream and vanilla. I wish that they made a body spray in this scent. I would definitely buy it. At the Bath and Body Works that I went to, they said that they only had this scent in a hand soap.

Fragrances -Thierry Mugler - Womanity
ihatespumoni 9/4/2010 11:10:00 PM
I don't understand all the bad reviews here. I suppose it is because fragrance is so individual and perfumes smell different on different people. Anyway, I love Womanity. It definitely has a marine note to it. Smells kind of salty, but not in a bad way. It smells salty yet sweet if that makes any sense. I find the dry down to be exactly like another of Thierry Mugler's scents - "Cologne." Anyway, Womanity is a very unusual scent. I have not smelled anything like this before.

Fragrances -Bath and Body Works - Dark Kiss
ihatespumoni 8/13/2010 7:57:00 PM
BBW describes the scent as "black raspberry, mirabelle plum, amber, dark vanilla bean and balsam." It definitely has a candy smell to it, but not cloyingly sweet. In fact, this is the only BBW scent that does not give me a headache. Staying power is excellent for a body spray. Reminds me a little of "That's So Raven" (which I am embarrassed to say, I actually like), but it's not as sweet and has less "cotton-candyness." I really like Dark Kiss and will likely repurchase.

Eyeliner -Lancome - Artliner- Brown
ihatespumoni 10/17/2009 12:20:00 AM
This liquid eyeliner has a felt tip pen and is so easy to use. The colour is a deep brown that looks less harsh than black. It lasts all day and doesn't flake. It's my HG liquid liner that I always come back to. It's a bit expensive, but actually lasts a long time - I think I've had mine for over a year and I use it almost every day!

Pressed Powders -Maybelline - Dream Matte Pressed Powder
ihatespumoni 10/17/2009 12:17:00 AM
This is the best mattifying powder out there. I have super oily skin and this actually keeps me from being shiny all day long. It doesn't look cakey and gives a really nice and natural looking finish to my skin. I love this, it is my HG. It's a little expensive for a drugstore powder, but if it works, who cares?

Eye Primer -Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Original (UDPP)
ihatespumoni 10/17/2009 12:13:00 AM
This is my HG for eyeshadow primers. I have super oily eyelids and all eyeshadows crease on me after a few hours but with Primer Potion my eyeshadow looks great all day long. The packaging sucks because you end up wasting so much because the wand can't reach the bottom and "edges" of the container. I found a little trick is when I can't get anymore product on the wand, I remove the little white stopper thing around the neck and throw it out, then I'm able to access lower down the container (if that makes sense). However, even with this trick I can't get everything. They should make it in a squeeze tube instead. Other than this, the product itself is perfect!!

Shampoo -TRESemme - Healthy Volume Shampoo
ihatespumoni 10/17/2009 12:08:00 AM
This shampoo made my hair flatter than usual. It definitely does not volumize hair. It made my hair feel sticky and just fall flat. I loved the pump bottle and the huge size for the low price, but what good is all that if it doesn't perform?

Styling Products -Sunsilk - Anti-Flat
ihatespumoni 10/17/2009 12:03:00 AM
This left my hair very very soft and slippery and made it very difficult to hold a curl. I guess it would be ok if you didn't want to curl your hair after using this product or say if you wanted to straighten your hair, but if you have straight hair and want to curl it I would not recommend using this product. It smells nice and makes your hair feel nice, but I won't re-purchase due to the not holding a curl thing. I also did not notice any volumizing effect, just made my hair soft and slippery.

Conditioner -Sexy Hair Concepts - Big Sexy Hair - volumizing conditioner
ihatespumoni 10/16/2009 11:59:00 PM
I use this with the matching shampoo and together I get great results. I have straight flat hair with no volume, but after using this combo I actually have big hair. It smells nice and does what it claims to do. This is one of the shampoo and conditioner combos that I always go back to (the other being Matrix Amplify).

Shampoo -Sexy Hair Concepts - Big Sexy Hair volumizing shampoo
ihatespumoni 10/16/2009 11:56:00 PM
One of the best volumizing shampoos out there (the other being Matrix Amplify). I love this shampoo. I have really straight flat hair with no volume whatsoever. This shampoo gives me big hair, I love it. It is a pearlized pink colour with a nice scent. I use it with the matching conditioner and am very pleased with the results.

Treatments -Bioderma - Sebium Mat Anti-shine Cream-gel
ihatespumoni 10/16/2009 11:53:00 PM
I have incredibly oily skin. I usually have to blot my face with oil blotting sheets every 3 hours. This moisturizer is the best mattifier ever. I can go the whole day without having to blot my face. I have tried every mattifying moisturizer out there and this is the best!! It has a bit of a smell to it, but I can overlook that because it works. Love Love Love!

Styling Products -Beyond The Zone - power lift
ihatespumoni 11/29/2008 12:05:00 AM
OMG. This is my HG volumizer. I have stick straight hair with no volume (I look like a drowned rat when I come out of the shower) and this product gives me big hair! My hair has lots of volume and remains soft to the touch and not stiff or crunchy at all. I use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner, then spray Power Lift at the roots, rub in, then spray a little throughout my hair. I blow dry with head upside down and then set in velcro curlers for 15 minutes. That's it, then I have big sexy hair with large waves that lasts all day! I hope they never discontinue this product!

Eyeliner -Jane - Endless Eyes- Chianti
ihatespumoni 9/30/2006 7:39:00 PM
The colour is a very pigmented reddish plum colour with hints of brown. It is very matte with no shimmer whatsoever. The colour does not glide on evenly. The tube dried out after 2 weeks and the product came out very thick and clumpy. I will not repurchase.

Eyeliner -Jane - Jane Endless Eyes Liquid Eyeliner in Khaki
ihatespumoni 9/30/2006 7:35:00 PM
At first I loved this eyeliner. The colour is beautiful - a nice golden olive. The brush is easy to use and staying power is good without smudging or flaking. However, after like 2 weeks the tube dried out and the liner came out thick and goopy. Yuck. Not worth it if you have to replace every 2 weeks. Maybe I got a defective one, but the same thing happened to my Endless Eyes Liquid eyeliner in Chianti.

Eyeliner -mark - on the edge hook up liquid eyeliner - nefertiti
ihatespumoni 9/30/2006 7:30:00 PM
This is my HG greenish/olive/tarnished metal-coloured eyeliner. The colour is very rich and staying power is like no other. No flaking or smudging. The little brush is easy to handle. Some people have said that it dries out quickly, but I have not had this problem. This is my favourite liquid eyeliner ever and I will continue to buy it for as long as they make it (and I will stock up big time if they ever plan to discontinue). Love it, love it!
