Misc Beauty Tools -Shu Uemura - Eyelash Curler
Heatherbell70 9/20/2003 5:14:00 PM
It fits my eye shape and gets all of my lashes in! I used to have to have to try so hard not to pinch my eyelids, and curling my lashes was my least favorite part of my routine. Now I don't mind. This works much faster and better with no pinching.

Skincare - Body -NADS - Hair Removal System - No-Heat Hair Removal Gel
Heatherbell70 9/20/2003 5:06:00 PM
This is so much messier and less effective than warm wax. It is just one of the worst products I have ever bought in my life. Not only did it not work, but every ant in a 40 mile radius invaded my home and covered the jar even though I rinsed the jar, screwed on the lid and put it in my cabinet. I threw the jar away and had to call an exterminator! LOL. Never again.

Fragrances -Guerlain - Champs Elysees
Heatherbell70 9/20/2003 5:00:00 PM
This was my scent this summer, and I got raves almost every day, especially from men. I don't know why the fragrance snobs have to put down someone as being an idiot just for liking a bright, feminine floral. Seems like the fragrance snobs only think you have taste if you like some fragrance that only one in one hundred people can even find tolerable, but it is us gals who are feminine and confident and wear the gorgeous scents such as this one that turn the heads. Let them keep their "sophisticated" stinky signatures. Forget that! I enjoy being a feminine woman and wearing my pretty floral perfume in the summer. Thanks to Guerlain for the beautiful fragrance. It is has a beautiful white mimosa top note with almonds as an second note. Very pretty. I shave my legs in the summer with the body wash and then rub them in the lotion. Then one little spritz on my navel and one on my neck. It lasts all day that way without being too strong.

Lip Gloss -Clinique - Glosswear for Lips Cream Shines - Berry Flirt
Heatherbell70 9/20/2003 4:27:00 PM
Very pretty color for the fall. It is a pretty berry color. I don't detect any shimmer in mine as the last reviewer wrote. Mine is a pretty berry with tons of shine. It is more opaque than most glosses and has much more staying power. It is also much less sticky! I love it. It looks like I applied berry colored lipstick with clear gloss on top.

Lipstick -Chanel - Hydracaresse Lipstick- Cashmere
Heatherbell70 9/20/2003 4:09:00 PM
I love this color. It is pinky, brown, nude. Very versatile as described below. I agree with other reviews that the formula gets flaky or gummy on the lips. Fails to stay smooth looking. To freshen it up, I have to wipe off the lipstick and then reapply also.

Treatments -Aussie - 3 Minute Miracle
Heatherbell70 9/20/2003 4:02:00 PM
I have actually used this product since I was a little girl. I keep trying different ones and come back to my 3 minute miracle as an everyday conditioner. I have very thick hair. This makes all the tangles drop right out so that I don't damage my hair trying to comb it wet. I don't find the smell offensive at all, like some other reviewers have asserted. To me, it doesn't have a very strong smell at all. Once you rinse it out, the scent does not linger in your hair or interfere with your fragrance. Now that I'm an adult, I can afford to use any conditioner, and this is ALWAYS in my bathroom.

Eyes -Bloom - Lagoon
Heatherbell70 9/20/2003 3:57:00 PM
This color is gorgeous. Picture the turquoise in the eye of a peacock feather -- pretty and metallic. The packaging could not be more adorable, but I must admit that I like packaging where you can see the product through the lid to find the color you want without flipping them over to read the name or open the package to look at the color. That makes it easier if you own several colors in one brand.

Lip Treatments -Smith's Rosebud Salve - Smith's Rosebud Salve
Heatherbell70 9/20/2003 3:53:00 PM
I really love this stuff. You can rub it on your feet and wear socks to bed, and you will wake up with baby soft feet, by the way. You can use it on really dry parts such as elbows and ankles. Also, you can rub it on the belly and hips to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy. The tin is adorable! I love the fragrance, but to me it doesn't smell like roses. It sort of smells like baby scent. I love the texture and the pink color. I do use it as a lip balm too. I don't know if it is the best lip balm that I have ever tried, but I love it so much that I apply it more frequently. My lips are completely soft and flake free now.

Cleansers -Neutrogena - Fresh Foaming Cleanser
Heatherbell70 9/19/2003 6:53:00 AM
I have never had a blackhead in my life. I used this prouct, and voila, blackeads everywhere, even on my cheeks! It smells EXACTLY like dishwashing liquid. YUCK! The only thing I liked about it was the very convenient packaging and that it really does remove all traces of makeup easily (dishwashing liquid will do that). The packaging will look very cute in my garbage can.

Fragrances -Giorgio Armani - sensi [DISCONTINUED]
Heatherbell70 9/18/2003 9:02:00 PM
I love this! I can't stop sniffing my arm. My man loves it too! Musky, powdery, floral. Scent keeps changing as it dries, but each change is just as lovely. This will be my fall fragrance!

Tools -Alexis Vogel - The Alexis Vogel System
Heatherbell70 9/18/2003 8:34:00 PM
The video is good for the hair, lashes and the smoky eye look. Otherwise, I would consider it a video for a teenage girl to learn the very, very basics of applying makeup. I wrote reviews of all of the products. Basically, the pencils are so hard that you will hurt yourself trying to use them, although the colors are pretty. The blush is gorgeous if you just use a smidge of it. The bubble gum lip stain, creasy foundation, average powder, clumpy mascara, can all go in the trash. The eyeshadow, bliss gloss, and eye sparkles are beautiful. The zipper carrying case is very akward. The brushes SUCK, and everyone knows that the slanted eyeshadow brush does not work as she suggests it will to apply eyeliner. You need to use a slanted eyeliner brush.

Lip Liners -Alexis Vogel - Adobe Lip Liner
Heatherbell70 9/18/2003 8:11:00 PM
This is the hardest ^%&@# lipliner I have ever tried to use. I think it is named Adobe because it is hard as a brick. One of the worst products I have ever used. It is a nice terra cotta color, but I threw it away. Hated it!

Eyeliner -Alexis Vogel - Cake Liner in Black-Brown
Heatherbell70 9/18/2003 8:08:00 PM
Perfectly acceptable black/brown cake liner. LaFemme black/brown is the same and dirt cheap. I like the see through lids on the AV products so that I can see and locate the products easily.

Foundations -Alexis Vogel - Creme Foundation - Light
Heatherbell70 9/18/2003 8:07:00 PM
The little pot is divided in three sections, which works when it is full, but when it starts to get more empty, I would have to dig it out. I am 33, and it creased in my barely noticeable expression lines and aged me 5 years. EEEKKKK! I've never had that problem before with any other product. Lightest color matched perfectly, but I wont use it again.
