Liquid -Maybelline - True Illusion [DISCONTINUED]
TallicaMommy 12/22/2003 8:07:00 AM
The bottle made a foundation this thick very difficult to get out. I was not pleased with the coverage (not enough), and it disappeared by the end of the day. It just isn't a repurchase for me.

Shampoo -Suave - Professionals Shampoo and Conditioner (entire series)
TallicaMommy 12/22/2003 8:06:00 AM
I bought Suave Professionals Humectant shampoo and conditioner based on the great reviews here. Usually, I am disappointed with Suave hair products. NOT with this one! I love the coconutty smell, and it makes my hair so soft! Plus, it seems to keep my cowlicks from going haywire, like they usually do. Plus... my 6 year old daughter's hair has always been a challenge. It's straight, and within 5 minutes of brushing or combing it, it would be messy again. She just always looked a mess, so I've been keeping it in a short bob. Well, the other night we used this shampooo and conditioner, and her hair was beautiful, like spun gold, the next day! Even if I stop using this, it's now my daughter's HG! :)

Liquid -Jane - Stay Calm Foundation [DISCONTINUED]
TallicaMommy 11/6/2003 7:52:00 PM
I just wasn't impressed by this... was difficult to blend, didn't provide decent coverage, didn't keep my face matte at all, and wore off before the end of the day.

A beautiful medium brown eyeshadow applied dry on the lid. Applied wet as a liner, GORGEOUS! Sort of a dark, shimmery copper color. Love it!

Lotions/ Creams -Eucerin - Aquaphor Healing Ointment
TallicaMommy 9/27/2003 7:06:00 AM
I have a feeling this stuff will become my constant companion this winter! So far I've used it on chapped lips and dry cuticles, and it's done wonders for bot! It's similar to Vaseline, but not as heavy and greasy. Definitely a must have for dry winter weather!

Lip Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Cococare Cocoa Butter Lip Balm
TallicaMommy 9/25/2003 9:13:00 AM
What a nice, CHEAP little lipbalm! I almost passed right by it, it was on the very bottom shelf in the skincare aisle at my local Walgreens. Since the weather is turning cold and dry and I'm getting over a cold, I'm already plagued with chapped lips, so thought I'd try it. For 99 cents, what's there to lose? It applies very smoothly, feels nice on, lasts quite a while, and have a yummy chocolatey taste. It says it has SPF, though not how much. I will definitely repurchase!

Cleansers -L'Oreal - Pure Zone creamy face wash
TallicaMommy 9/7/2003 2:41:00 PM
I just don't feel like my face gets clean with this. If I follow the directions (wet face, massage cream into lather on face, rinse), I still have to go through several cotton balls of astringent or toner before I get all of the makeup and gunk off my face. I like the menthol zip it has, but it's misleading, since you're face isn't really as fresh as it feels.

Toners -L'Oreal - Pure Zone Toner - Garnier Pure Lotion in Europe
TallicaMommy 9/7/2003 2:38:00 PM
This has both a strong alcohol and perfumy smell to it. And after use, it felt as if I had a film on my skin, not that it's cleaner. I have not had any problems with sensitivity or breakouts from it, but still won't be buying it again.

Moisturizers -Alpha Hydrox - 10% Enhanced Cream
TallicaMommy 9/7/2003 2:35:00 PM
I have been using this for about three weeks now. For the first time in years I can run my fingers along my forehead and not feel lots of little bumps. My skin looks smoother and healthier - maybe that's what is meant by having a 'glow'? I do advise, if you try this, give it at least two weeks. After the first week of apply it nightly, my face broke out in lots of tiny pimples. They were gone again within two days, so from what I've read, this was my pore purging the gunk that's been in them. I'm amazed that a little unassuming and inexpensive cream like this could make my skin look so good!

Lip Gloss -Bonne Bell - Strawberry Kiwi Comet LipSmacker
TallicaMommy 9/1/2003 9:45:00 PM
This came in a little package I actually bought for my daughter, with glitter gel, nail polish, nail stickers, in a zippered change purse you can can clip on a backpack. It's very yummy smelling, definitely very strawberry. And it leaves your lips with a light pink shimmer. I'm going to have to hurry and get one of my own, because I'm so tempted to steal this from a 6 year old! :)

Foundations -Sally Hansen - Cornsilk Zero Shine Skin Clearing Makeup
TallicaMommy 8/16/2003 11:22:00 AM
I thought this foundation is rather mediocre. I bought this in the shade "No Color" What is no color? It did apply smoothly, and provides light/medium coverage. It is not shine free -- I had shine on my t-zone within a couple of hours, and that was with NYC Loose Powder. I also feel that the "skin clearing" name is misleading... it doesn't contain salicylic acid or any other skin clearing ingredients. It's an ok foundation, but not one I plan on purchasing again.

Eye Shadow -Jane - Eye Zings - Hip Bone
TallicaMommy 8/16/2003 11:05:00 AM
This is a very nice white matte e/s. I've used it as a base, highlighter, and as my only e/s on a lazy makeup day, and was pleased with each time. Applies smoothly, and had good staying power.

Eye Shadow -Jane - Eye Zing in Shrinking Violet
TallicaMommy 8/16/2003 11:02:00 AM
I'm really not sure why this shade has received so many poor reviews. I had no problem with it showing up on me (I'm PPP/LLL), though it is subtle. And it did appear as a very light lilac, not white. I like the fact it is matte, so many of my other eyeshadows are shimmer, it's a nice change of pace. Applied with the eye zing Plum Perfect dry on the lid and wet as eyeliner created a very nice look. I would buy this again.

Polishes -Sinful - Nail Polish (all colors)
TallicaMommy 8/15/2003 9:46:00 PM
I did not realize this line existed until recently. I bought the shade "Gracy", a shimmery light beige, and I love it! It's the perfect day to day nail polish for me. I wore it with NYC Grow 10 Nails, and had no chips for 4 days, which is amazing for me. It only took 2 coats to have an opaque look like what you see when you look at the bottle. I am definitely going to try this out in more shades! UPDATE: Just bought this in Bermuda Sunshine, a very pretty, almost sheer iridescent pink, a beautiful shade! And it was just as long lasting and easy to apply.
