Mascara -Max Factor - Lash Perfection Volume Couture [DISCONTINUED]
jmarie 12/30/2008 6:10:00 PM
I was so sad about this mascara not working for me after reading that Consumer Reports said it was a top pick and the ratings here were very good. My eyes began to burn shortly after applying and I had a lot of flaking. I only put it on my top lashes. I also had some clumping upon applying. Darn...will there never be a perfect mascara for me?

Lip Treatments -Weleda - Everon lip balm
jmarie 11/9/2008 12:19:00 PM
I liked this as a lip balm...I LOVE it as an eye treatment. I use it at night and during the day if I'm not using eye shadow. When it warms up it's creamy and very softening around the eye. I use around the entire eye, lids too.

Gels/Soaps -Johnson & Johnson - Vanilla Oatmeal Baby Bath
jmarie 10/20/2008 3:43:00 PM
I have very sensitive skin when it comes to body washes. Most dry me out. My biggest problem has been finding a wash I can use on my most private and sensitive areas, yes...that's the place I'm talking about. Anyway....I have tried everything from plain Ivory Soap (that my husband swears by..he uses nothing else) to products made just for the feminine places. The J&J Vanilla Oatmeal wash is the only product I have ever used that cleanses well doesn't irritate or dry me out, and it smells great.

Lip Treatments -SoftLips - Pure Pomegranate Organic Lip Conditioner
jmarie 10/10/2008 12:56:00 PM
this is an OK lip balm....nothing HG about it though. It's light and not going to cure chapped lips, but nice to keep in your purse for a touch up during the day if your not wearing lipstick. Light frag, no real taste and clear on lips.

Misc Beauty Tools -Unlisted Brand - Borax laundry powder
jmarie 10/3/2008 12:55:00 PM
I love Borax too. I stopped using bleach and fabric softener and replaced them with Borax. I use a fragrance and dye free liquid detergent from Costco. I use about 1/2 cup Borax with each load. My clothes are clean and soft. I haven't tried Borax for anything else, but I'm going to do some research and see what other uses I can find for this natural wonder.

Makeup Brushes -Ecotools - Bamboo Foundation Brush

This is just as good at my PX brush....I actually like it more because the handle is shorter.....I like it for my JI Absence Primer too.....I could never get it to go on right until I used this brush

Palettes -Ulta - 50 Piece Color Blockbuster
jmarie 9/16/2008 1:54:00 PM
My mom gave me this as a gift. I like all the color choices. Fun to play with. Mine came in the pink two layer box, which I'm going to use for jewelry. The only thing I don't like is I tried to remove the pieces and the eye shadows and blushes crumbled. I wanted to put them in smaller cases. But, as a gift it's great or as a way to try out a the Ulta line it's great too.

Lotions/ Creams -Unlisted Brand - Mountain Ocean - Skin Trip Coconut Lotion
jmarie 8/2/2008 12:18:00 PM
I've been using this all summer for the moisturizing and scent. It goes nicely with my Secert Flawless Tropical. It has an almost spicy coconut scent that develops with the warming of your body. It's perfect for summer because it's light, but it has a lasting moisturizing effect.

Cleansers -Ponds - Dramatic Results Age Defying Cleansing Towelettes
jmarie 7/8/2008 1:02:00 PM
I like to use these after using Albolene to remove make up and sun screen. They take off the Albolene film and leave behind a AHA treatment. They're big enough to use over face, chest, arms and legs.

Fragrances -Estee Lauder - Sensuous

so, it starts out as a copy of Dior Addict...then turns sweet. I like Dior Addict better because it stays true to it's notes through and through
