Lipstick -Max Factor - All lipsticks
surfgal626 1/2/2004 1:36:00 AM
I love Max Factor lipsticks. They totally feel like high end cosmetics and certainly not something you would get in a drugstore. The colors are great, the lipsticks go on smoothly, and they last for hours. They are moisturizing and make my lips feel great! I have this in rebellious, which I bought because it's supposed to replicate the shade Kate Winslett wore in Titanic. It's a very gorgeous bitten lips with wine mixed in color!

Liquid -Cover Girl - Clean Makeup Oil Control

I like this - it's easy to match skintones and it applies easily and looks natural. So far, no breakouts. No real smell. Good price.

Crème -Maybelline - Maybelline EverFresh
surfgal626 1/2/2004 1:26:00 AM
I have this in ivory. The color is great and matches my skin well. The foundation does what it says, and stays put for a long time without changing consistency or color, but it is just too thick and heavy for me, so I won't buy again. Also, when you first put it on, there is a glue-like smell. I only used it once, so I can't say if it causes breakouts.

Lip Gloss -L'Oreal - Color Juice in Strawberry Twist
surfgal626 1/2/2004 1:21:00 AM
I have this in watermelon. The product is good - a little more pigmented than I expected, so I apply lightly. I squeeze onto my finger and then use to get on my mouth because the applicator stinks at applying evenly (I would prefered an angled applicator tip to the round one). Good price and I will definitely pick up more colors.

Lipstick -Prescriptives - Minx
surfgal626 12/28/2003 4:53:00 PM
Great color, but way too dark on me (I'm an LLL). I have to work too hard to tone it down by blotting and covering with a different lipgloss, so that's why I won't buy this shade again. Good quality lipstick though and I love the tube. I will buy again in a better shade.

Fragrances -Issey Miyake - L'Eau d'Issey
surfgal626 12/27/2003 1:41:00 AM
I've been wearing this since 1998, even though I wanted to stop for a while because everyone else was wearing it too (I didn't because I couldn't find a suitable replacement). Anyway, I love the smell! The first hour is a bit strong, but it smells incredible after that (The Light soothing night fragrance version takes care of this problem, by the way, but it doesn't last as long).

Hair Color -Garnier - Lumia Brightening Color Creme
surfgal626 12/26/2003 10:27:00 PM
I love this product in "light chestnut." My hair is medium brown with about 5-10% gray and this dye brightens up my color and takes care of the gray (they show up a little lighter than the rest of the hair, but it looks like highlights!) Light chestnut keeps my hair medium brown with red highlights in the sun. I would definitely recommend for a very natural looking color. My hair feels very healthy too - not dried out. The packaging is fine, although I'd prefer the conditioner in a tube instead of a packet. This stuff doesn't stink nearly as much as others either.

Blush -MAC - Style
surfgal626 12/26/2003 9:58:00 PM
I ordered this from Mac online and was incredibly angry when I opened the shipping box and saw this ORANGE blush. I was going to return right away or swap, and only decided to test it because I was bored and it will be a week or more before my other blushes arrive for me to play with. I am amazed with how pretty this is on! It looks like I am glowing from within. It isn't orange at all - it looks pinky coral and the shimmer isn't noticeable, but it adds a nice glow to my skin. It makes a wonderful eye shadow too. By the way, I'm a LLL with hazel eyes, reddish brown hair. EDIT: Even though I loved how this made me look, I swapped it away because I caught a glimse of the shimmer in bright sunlight (rearview mirror in car) and it looked really SPARKLY! I only do natural, so to swap it went.

Lipstick -Cover Girl - continuous color sheer lipstick
surfgal626 12/23/2003 2:03:00 PM
I have this in sheerberry (I have light skin, brown hair, brown eyes) and I love it! It is a similar shade to my natural color but a little bit darker and really brightens up my face while looking natural at the same time. I was a little reluctant to buy since the stick itself looks too pink, but it is exactly what I have been looking for for years. My local CVS only had three shades available, so I'm not sure if they are discontinuing. I am going to buy a few more though in case they are! *ADDED* Just bought this in wineberry and I love it too! A fantastic sheer red/berry color. I will buy more shades!

Conditioner -Vidal Sassoon - Moisturizing Daily Therapy
surfgal626 11/23/2003 11:22:00 AM
I used to use Vidal Sassoon shampoos and conditioners about 4 years ago when they were in the tall pink bottles and I loved them! They were 16 ounces for about $2.50, which was an incredible deal. In early 2001, they switched to fancy packaging and smaller sizes (8-10 ounces I think) and charged 3 times as much, so I don't buy it regularly since my long hair goes through a bottle a week. I heard this move ruined them, however, so the product line will be taken off the market soon. So, if this is your holy grail hair product, buy it up at the drugstore.

Conditioner -Matrix - Biolage - Conditioning Balm
surfgal626 11/23/2003 11:13:00 AM
I have used hundreds of conditioners and this is the best I've ever found. My long curly hair which has been abused by hair dye feels like silk after I use it. It also does a wonderful job of eliminating frizz and relaxing my curls into gorgeous waves. The cons are the price, the tub container, and the coconutty scent, but I'll put up with all that for this incredible conditioner.
