Conditioner -Philosophy - Amazing Grace

very nice conditioner, it really does leave your hair soft and smelling fantastic. nice texture and 'feminine' smell. however, for conditioning purposes alone - feria deep conditioner works faster, is less expensive, and although it doesn't smell as great - well, we all use perfume anyway, right?

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous mascara
wendi6716 1/19/2002 8:01:00 PM
voluminous waterproof is a great drugstore mascara - it thickens and lengthens a HUGE amount. indeed, its only flaw is that if you aren't careful to wipe the brush before you use it - you can get clumps. does not isrritate contact lens wearers, and stays the day. i prefer it to the old standby great lash anytime.

a solid but not special amscara. in waterproof it stays the day wihtout smudges, but i didn't notice much curl. i perosnally prefer waterproof voluminous- but like this enough to use it up before purchasing something different

luxurious lather and smells good - but for the price, it should be more moisturizing. a good moisturizing shampoo - but not a great one. i'll keep looking. . .

Loose Powders -Prescriptives - Magic Liquid Powder
wendi6716 1/15/2002 12:47:00 PM
got the translucent and WOW it really faked nice glowing flawless skin. but it took some trial and error to get there - first, you cannot use this over foundation, but only over bare skin . second, the little brush is cute but useless - use this with a regular big fluffy powder brush and enjoy your soft-focus skin.

I got the Who's the Gloss in a swap and i *love* it - the colors are great and the texture and shine is also nice. in fact, in color and texture these are like a much more high-end line. indeed, my only complaint is the cheapo plastic packaging, because the lid doesn't stay on very well in a purse

Moisturizers -La Mer - Creme de la mer moisturizer
wendi6716 1/2/2002 7:05:00 PM
LOVE this. for folks for whom its not working - did you break it down between your fingers before applying it? if you don't, it just sits there on top of your skin doing nothing and feeling like crisco - BUT if you warm it and break it down before patting it on - miracles, people, real skin miracles. my acne scars faded, my pores look smaller, my skin is soft, and no breakouts. *sigh* if only it weren't a gazillion bucks.

great cheap mask for when you have the oilies. the scents strong, the color ugly, and its drying - but hey, when you have the oilies drying is wht you want!

good basic lip balm - neither amazing nor awful. also, pretty cheap. however, for a basic lip balm in a stick, i'd go with the neutrogena norwegian one - cheap, nonwaxy, no taste, and SPF. and for a splurge - philosophy kiss me or kiehls have my hearts
