Mascara -Maybelline - Volum Express Mascara

This stuff is terrible. It flakes, gives only an average increase in volume, and for me it stung like crazy every time I removed it. I don't think my eyes are particularly sensitive and I've never had that reaction to any other mascara.

Fragrances -Coty - jovan white musk

I wasn't sure about this scent at first. It's almost too innocuous and inoffensive. It reminds me a little of baby powder. It lacks depth, but it's a really pleasant cheap musky floral and because it is such a quiet, clean, feminine fragrance I reach for it all the time when I'm getting dressed.

I love this warm, sweet, close-to-the-skin musk. It's a good nuzzling fragrance; it smells clean and natural. I wish it lasted longer because after an hour or so the smell of the cologne vanishes. The oil probably lasts longer but it doesn't seem to melt into my skin the way the cologne does and it makes me sneeze ferociously.

Lipstick -Revlon - Super Lustrous Lipstick in Rosedew

This is a very pretty nude pink. It has enough pigment in it to be flattering to my light complexion; very light pinks and nudes tend to make me look washed out. I would say it is a "natural" color but it's a little too sparkly to use that word. I know some of the other reviewers don't like the sparkle but if you do a very sheer application I think the effect is very pretty; it really enhances full lips.

I got a giant bottle of this at Costco intending to use it on my feet. It's good for that purpose but I also decided to use a tiny dab each day directly on a few sun spots I have on my face. The active ingredient is lactic acid and lactic acid in the form of buttermilk is an old school treatment for freckles and sunspots. I've only been using it for three weeks and the spots are nearly gone! I've used retinols since my mid-twenties; they are supposed to even skin tone but never really worked for that purpose (I think they work better for fine lines). This was fast and much more effective!
