Bronzers -NARS - Laguna
DrMAC 10/8/2010 9:32:00 PM
For the price, it better be NARS! I love this bronzer on my NC20-25 skin, although I think there are comparable bronzers for cheaper.. like the summer bronzer carmindy makes.... I wouldn't repurchase but prob because this will take my lifetime to hit pan! I pair it with sin blush usually at it looks amazing.

Eye Shadow -NARS - Ashes to Ashes
DrMAC 10/8/2010 9:30:00 PM
This NARS shadow is absolutely fantastic. I don't think the other NARS e/s are worth the price, but this one does. It is a less shimmery version of satin taupe by mac, but yet it is slightly shimmery with a lighter brownish taupey purple. I love it. It is a great daytime color, and paired with darker e/s I bet it would look lovely at night. I will repurchase if I ever get through the cute pan!

Treatments -Biosilk - Silk Therapy
DrMAC 10/8/2010 9:26:00 PM
I have a ginormous bottle of this stuff from years ago and I am still only 1/4 way through the bottle. I have medium/long hair, and I use a dime size, rub it b/t my hands, then run it down the ends while my hair is wet after getting out of the shower. Leaves me hair soft, silky, and manageable...... love this stuff.

DrMAC 10/8/2010 9:25:00 PM
This is everything everyone else has been saying about this blush! It is a peachy bronzy tone....on my NC 20-25 skin. I love it. I would wait for a sale on cherryculture... not that it's not worth the cost.. but the blush is awesome!!

Styling Products -Farouk CHI - Chi Silk Infusion
DrMAC 10/7/2010 10:57:00 PM
I initially bought this with the heat protectant spray in a bundle looking to try out some Chi products. I am really underwhelmed with this product, and actually use the heat spray more than this. I am glad I got a small bottle with it because it doesn't do anything for my hair. I much prefer biosilks serum for soft silky hair....

Cleansers -Origins - A Perfect World Deep Cleanser
DrMAC 10/4/2010 11:02:00 PM
I initially bought this cleanser over a year ago due to the anti-aging effects of white tea. I ended up switching to another cleanser mid way through using it, and then rediscovered it recently. I still don't like how it cleans (or lack of cleaning!). It just smells nice, but doesn't do much else. I will try to finish it because I hate throwing expensive stuff away but will definately not repurchase!!!

Lotions/ Creams -Bath and Body Works - True Blue Spa Shea Cashmere Hand Cream
DrMAC 10/4/2010 7:32:00 PM
This shea cashmere hand cream smells like vanilla.. light vanilla. The other one they have -- the shea cashmere and silk is a very potent vanilla scent that I'm wondering if people are confusing this with..... I haven't had it long enough to comment on the moisturizing quality, but overall, it is a lovely scent.

Lotions/ Creams -Bath and Body Works - Dark Kiss- Lotion
DrMAC 10/4/2010 7:22:00 PM
This smell is a nice berry smell after it settles, but there is an overwhelming stank of musk when you first apply it that I can't get over. I had to return this lotion! Gross. If you don't care for most of the newer floral-y scents at BBW and think working there would give you a headache, then you won't like this either!

Eye Shadow -Stila - Kitten

Glittery mess. Not my style. Definately can't use as an all over the lid color, maybe as a high light color. I love my MAC naked lunch much better.

Lip Gloss -NYX - Goddess of The Night - Perfect
DrMAC 9/30/2010 9:46:00 PM
This was my first NYX lipgloss. I figured since everyone raves about this brand, I should try some lip products. The color is a beautiful MLBB, but when I initially bought it, I couldn't get over the nasty fake fruity scent that smells like kids cough syrup. I have learnt to look over it, since it is cheaper than say MAC, but if they took the scent out or made it say a vanilla scent, I would repurchase! The consistency is not sticky, and it is somewhat transparent. Easy to apply without a mirror.

Treatments -Kiehls - Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate
DrMAC 9/27/2010 10:26:00 PM
I've been doing some reading on the benefits of vitamin C on aging and thought since my skin is getting older, and I've been taking it for granted for many years now, that I should actually have a skin care regimen, and try to prevent more wrinkles from popping up! I don't know how often I'm supposed to use this on my face, but I have a feeling I overdid it, and it gave me a large cystic acne spot on my chin that I haven't had in over 10 years. I was using this 1-2x/day for a week prior to that happening, and then cut down to once a day, and I since have avoided putting it on my acne prone areas. I don't know if it was coincidence, but I don't want to have that again! This was definately more of a preventative purchase rather than treatment, so I don't really know if it lessens smile lines and all, but it feels good, and vitamin C definately is beneficial to skin for anti-aging purposes.

Treatments -Kiehls - Midnight Recovery Concentrate
DrMAC 9/27/2010 10:19:00 PM
I bought this after a sample I got that lasted a month!! I am a Kiehls fan in general, but I am getting older and don't sleep a lot due to my job, and am worried about my fine lines turning into wrinkles. Hydration is key to keeping your fine lines at bay. I will take maybe 3 drops, and dab on my face.. it says to avoid the eye area, but if you are careful, you can put it on your soon-to-be crows feet, and under the eye and your eyes look well rested the next morning. I sometimes put a drop in with my ultra facial cream during the day. I've noticed I use less makeup, and except for my superficial capillaries on my cheeks, I don't really need much coverage anymore with my foundation/powder. I don't think I will ever get through this bottle, which is awesome. It is beautiful on my counter. I've started dabbing this on my lips as well...
