Polishes -Lippmann Collection - My Old Flame

Stunning red. I've never had better. Striking medium true red. High on the compliment factor. Applies beautifully.Definitely worth trying.Apparently made for Angelina Jolie.Seeing this I'd say that girl definitely knows her reds. update:one of the very very few reds that is suitable for blondes.

Never would have tried this foundation if I hadn't looked in Top Picks section. Very pleased. Very smooth finish med but very natural looking coverage easy to apply lasts forever and unlike every other foundation I've tried this does not emphasize fine lines under eyes.(I don't use concealer under eyes).Sunbeige 48 matches my skin perfectly.(no pink or orange tones).

This made my eyelashes look odd. Skimpier and cleanly bunched together.Bad brush. Not pretty.

Skincare - Body -Bliss Labs - Glamour Gloves Gel

Very disappointing since I love their High Intensity Hand cream. I use this sans gloves over night Not appropriate for day time use except as an ineffective masque. A non-greasy unpleasant smelling( acrid citrus) gel cream that leaves a tacky finish and does almost nothing for the look and feel of my hands.

Polishes -Lippmann Collection - Satin Doll
rhg1 3/25/2004 9:03:00 PM
Well named. A terribly pretty liquid molten finish in a blush champagne beige (warm not cool) with silver irridescence.Certainly the best polish I've found in the shimmery beige family.Sticker on box reads 'created for Mariah' I'm guessing Carey.The more I wear it the more I admire it. Unfortunate bottle top. Silver paint flakes off everywhere and sticks.

Mascara -Clarins - Pure Volume Mascara
rhg1 3/24/2004 6:18:00 PM
I don't know why this is rated lower than the Pure Curl. I've had both in my makeup bag for a month and if it weren't for the different shapes of the tubes I wouldn't know the difference. As I said about Pure Curl -too slow to apply ,wet and clumpy--cannot get away without combing through. Fairly pretty result but not exceptional so not worth the effort for me.

Mascara -Clarins - Pure Curl Mascara
rhg1 3/24/2004 6:12:00 PM
Another slow to apply, wet, clumpy mascara that you cannot use without combing through immediately after applying (dries quickly).Besides awkward application quite a pretty result somewhere between natural and dramatic.does hold a curl but looks a little stiff.I bought this with the pure volume mascara and don't find them very different. Too clumpy and slow and unexceptional to repurchase.

Treatments -Creative Nail Design - Solar butter
rhg1 3/10/2004 8:25:00 PM
THe almond scent is overwhelming at first but fades. Very greasy.I only use this at night.But its the best I've found for when my hands are truly chapped. Thoroughly moisturizes works beautifully on nails and cuticles and unusually also makes the skin look better with each use . Wish it came in a pump. That jar can turn into a mess if you don't take care.

Liquid -Boots - No7 Radiant Glow Foundation
rhg1 3/10/2004 11:41:00 AM
Ouch ouch ouch. Literally kicking myself for ignoring this line. Best foundation I've found in ages. Sheer and uniquely skin-perfecting. Truly takes off flaws and years and does not look like makeup at all. Does what all the others claim. Light silky non pore clogging fluid in a convenient pump.Go boots.

Treatments -Philosophy - Resurface Kit - The Microdelivery In-Home Vitamin C Peptide Peel
rhg1 3/5/2004 2:45:00 PM
A good find. Skin feels a little dry after rinsing but skin is left very smooth and brighter, the following day and several days later glowing. Not as exfoliating as I expected and certainly not as irritating.Will repurchase if I don't get bored of the kit.

I'm in the U.K. and why have I been ignoring this line?!?Angel is my new favourite,best I've found in ages.The perfect sheer golden light pink.And I haven't found a gloss that feels better. Smooth soft non-sticky long-wearing formula.Also bought the new JT style gloss in sandstorm a sheer creamy caramel a tad thicker but still no stickiness feels wonderful on.A+ to little ol boots No7.

Conditioner -L'Oreal - Professionel Liss Extreme No-Rinse Treatment Masque For Frizzy Hair
rhg1 2/17/2004 6:24:00 PM
Been through several bottles now and don't even consider shopping around for leave-in conditioners anymore, really not like me. Light silky fluid cream that softens and silkens well and takes the puffy parched slightly frizzy look away from freshly washed hair without any heaviness.A+

Mascara -Yves Saint Laurent - Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils
rhg1 2/17/2004 5:48:00 PM
Still not sure and I've had it for some time. I wouldn't repurchase in any case. Slow to apply, wet, tricky and clogs easily.Always requires combing.Does in fact look like false lashes after two coats and better than most false-look mascaras but will flake and smudge.Usable as a one coat natural mascara but not the best.Not for me really.

Lip Gloss -Philosophy - The Supernatural in Mauve
rhg1 2/17/2004 5:37:00 PM
Certainly super natural. My lips but ever so slightly more pink/mauve.Does what it says on the tin- a bit younger a bit prettier. Thick very long lasting gloss that somehow doesn't feel unpleasantly sticky. Can't abide certain sticky glosses.Pleasant fresh choc-mint scent. Pleased I have it( BF gives it an 8.5) but nothing spectacular so I doubt I'll buy it again.

Eyeliner -MAC - Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Stubborn Brown
rhg1 2/15/2004 11:58:00 PM
Really surprised by all these positive reviews. This smudged on me almost immediately and was otherwise truly ordinary. Sue Devitt's eye intensifiers last infinitely longer, unlike any other pencil I've tried in fact and are much softer.
