Styling Products -Aveda - Control Force
BeagleLab 8/13/2011 5:12:00 PM
I was in the Aveda store and the SA offered to show me how this worked. I went in there with "gym hair" and came out with this awesome volume. I have a POB haircut, angled bob. The problem is I could not get this to react the same way as she did. I washed and styled today and I believe I put on too much product. It was like cement. I think this is my fault, so I wil continue to try. I gave it a 4 because I am not sure yet. I love the fact it has UV protection in it.

Styling Products -Aveda - Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener
BeagleLab 8/13/2011 5:08:00 PM
Thanks to the wonderful reviews, I picked this up at the Aveda store last night. I used it today and the shine is incredible. It also has heat protection in it, so it works for just about everything. Yes, the price may be steep. But I was buying Shu Essence Absolue. This is so much better and less than half the price. Thanks Aveda, another awesome product.

Misc Beauty Tools -Aveda - Large Paddle Brush
BeagleLab 8/9/2011 11:39:00 AM
Thanks to the wonderful MUA reviews and my awesome hairdresser at an Aveda salon, I purchased this brush yesterday at an Aveda store. AWESOME! This brush beats my FF brush all to heck and the FF was 3 times the price. $20 USD for this brush was incredibly inexpensive. It will last forever. I have a POB haircut and this works for smoothing it and making it so shiny and soft looking. LOVE IT! I guess my Australian Shepard will be getting the FF brush now. :)

Styling Products -Aveda - Pure Abundance Hair Potion
BeagleLab 8/9/2011 11:30:00 AM
I used this quite a long time ago and really liked it at first. I just started going to an Aveda salon and fell in love with the color and products they use. I decided to purchase again and I was not sorry. I agree with the other reviewers, you need to apply this carefully or it will end up a huge glob. I travel for my job and am concerned about the plane. I will just carry it with me and keep it upright. All in all, it is a good product, does what it promises and I will buy again.

Lip Treatments -Korres - Lip Butter - Wild Rose
BeagleLab 8/6/2011 9:06:00 PM
I do really like this stuff. Just purchased at Sephora. I may get other colors. I have so many lipsticks, glosses and liners. I could probably open my own cosmetic counter. LOL. Seriously, I do like the moisturizing qualities this has. Not really thrilled with the packaging, kind of like Stila's old lip pots. I loved those as well.

Eye Shadow -Chanel - Soft Touch EyeShadow-Lotus
BeagleLab 7/23/2011 6:32:00 PM
I was looking for a highlighter and a shadow. Lotus serves both purposes. I really like a more natural eye shadow, since I line my eyes on top and bottom. This really gives a wide eye look and is of course the high quality of all Chanel shadows. I love it.

Styling Products -Oscar Blandi - Pronto Colore Root Touch-Up & Highlighting Pen
BeagleLab 7/22/2011 7:42:00 PM
HG, HG for sure. My hair turned out too dark the last time we did it. Rather than beat up my hair, I opted to try this highlighting pen. I love this thing. It has given me back the highlights that were covered up and they are truly creamy beige. Bravo, Oscar Blandi. I love his silk polishing creme too.

Polishes -Essie - Mademoiselle
BeagleLab 7/20/2011 12:07:00 PM
I love this shade, so natural and shiny. This is the second bottle I have purchased. My Mom used it as well and loved it. I especially like the way it just wears off, no chipping. I am pretty rough on my hands, cleaning, sports and gardening. This is perfect for a short, but polished look.

Lip Gloss -Chanel - Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss
BeagleLab 7/18/2011 7:36:00 PM
AWESOME, AWESOME lip gloss. As soon as I read it had the RA formula, I had to buy. I have Insolence and am headed to Nordstrom to purchase Emoi, maybe even Confidence. I love these. I never even wear lipstick anymore, just this gloss. I really like these better than the Glossimers.

Eyeliner -MAC - Technakohl in Photogravure
BeagleLab 7/11/2011 11:51:00 AM
Thanks to the MUA reviews, I purchased this eye pencil. What appealed to me was the fact there was no red in it. That is correct, just a nice brown. It wears fairly well, but does tend to smudge at the end of the day. What can you say? It is after a kohl pencil. If you want some definition and drama to your eyes, but not too harsh but this pencil. I purchased specifically for the waterline and I am not disappointed. As far as the price, you cannot beat MAC, back to Sephora went the pricey YSL pencil.

Lip Gloss -Chanel - Insolence (57)
BeagleLab 7/11/2011 11:39:00 AM
After reading these wonderful reviews, I headed to Nordstrom yesterday to purchase Insolence. Just hearing it had the same formula as my beloved Rouge Allure lippies, I knew it would be incredible and I was not disappointed. I love this with the pencil in Natural, gives a defined, but understated lip. My lips are fairly full, so i do not want to have a bright lip, but do not want to look dead either. Kudos to Chanel for another awesome lip product. I wear RA Imagination with Maline gloss and on other days I just pop on the Insolence, both over Natural. Thanks Chanel and MUA.

Blush -Chantecaille - Aquablush in Charming
BeagleLab 7/4/2011 4:50:00 PM
I bought this blush while on vacation in Denver last January. It is water based, so I thought terrific. I used it for quite a long time, then went back to Stila and then on to Tarte, even Posie Tint. I am back to Charming, nice healthy glow and perfect for summer. I gave the packaging a 3, mostly because of the plastic cover that keeps getting in the way. But I would still buy this again, but probably will not have to for a long time.

Lipstick -Chanel - Rouge Allure- Imagination
BeagleLab 6/29/2011 5:50:00 PM
I love this color, perfect. It gives my full lips some basic healthy color. I picked up the last one at Macy's, Nordstrom was out of it. It gives such a natural and rosy look. You just need a nice gloss in the middle of bottom lip and perfection. It is similar to Pink Ballerina, which has been discontinued.

Blush -BeneFit Cosmetics - Posietint
BeagleLab 6/21/2011 12:55:00 AM
I love this stuff. What a wonderful natural glow it gives. I would not try it on my lips, way too drying probably. It works so much better than any cream blush and it lasts too. I would give it 5 stars, but the packaging is horrible. What an idea to have a nail polish brush to apply this, not very good. But I do put it on my finger first then apply. Good stuff, will buy again. EDIT: Went to a meeting and looked in the mirror, I was shocked at how pink my cheeks looked. I wanted more of a natural look, back to Sephora this went.

Lipstick -MAC - Impassioned (Amplified)
BeagleLab 5/29/2011 8:27:00 PM
After reading these reviews, I went to our local MAC store. I am a big Lustering fan and I wanted to compare the two. Well as we all know, this packs much more of a punch than Lustering. So, I decided no, I will stick with Lustering. Well I got ten steps out the door and I turned around and went back to buy it. I am glad I did. I wear it with a very neutral lip liner and just pat it on my lips. The color does brighten up my face and I totally love it. I will go between this and Lustering. go MAC.
