Lip Gloss -L'Oreal - Color Juice Pina Colada
rated 5 of 5

This is what I wanted 'Pink Grapefruit' to be! Gorgeous, milky, pale nude. I just wish the taste matched the scent! EDIT: I forgot to mention that this is a part of newer Color Juices which seem to be less sticky and have more pigment. Yay! :-D

Styling Products -Johnson & Johnson - No More Tangles - Spray Detangler
rated 5 of 5
dbmiller 2/28/2007 6:27:00 PM

Sometimes I feel very stupid for not trying the most simple and obvious products - like this. Why have I wasted so much time, money, effort, and not to mention hair?! I have tried spray conditioners and detanglers from at least 20 different brands, and none of them even come close to this. I really wanted a good detangler, because most of the damage to my hair comes from brushing out tangles. Not only does it quickly take care of that, but it leaves my hair feeling so soft and conditioned. There's a reason this stuff has been around forever - because it works! ;-) UPDATE: I'm still loving this because it's enabled me to brush my hair with no breakage. It's also preventing split ends and allowing my hair to grow longer. My hair feels healthier than ever!

Lip Gloss -Cover Girl - WetSlicks Lip Gloss - ShimmerShell

Why the heck have I waited so long to purchase one of these?! The quality of this gloss is amazing! It's more pigmented than most nudes, which is exactly what I was looking for - more milky. It's not at all sticky. It smells delicious. And the the price rocks!

Lip Gloss -Sonia Kashuk - Lip Glossing in Sugar

What the heck is the purpose of the stick on the other end? A lip liner? Anyway it sucks! However the lip gloss is so pretty! Very light pink shimmer. I do wish it was a little bit more milky though. Great lip gloss!

Lip Gloss -Neutrogena - MoistureShine Lip Soother in Shimmer
rated 4 of 5
dbmiller 2/8/2007 12:24:00 PM

I always compare this tuff to the MoistureShine Tinted Lip Balm. This has a thicker feeling, and at first it doesn't seem very moisturizing, but this is the best stuff at de-flaking lips. I love that it has SPF 20 and that it tingles slightly. I just wish the color was a little more milky.

Lips -Neutrogena - MoistureShine Tinted Lip Balm #10 Glow [DISCONTINUED]
rated 5 of 5
dbmiller 2/8/2007 12:21:00 PM

This is pretty darn good stuff. I used it for a whole summer. It's perfect because it's a pretty color (sheer nude), doubles as a lip balm, and has SPF.

Lip Gloss -L'Oreal - Colour Juice - Pink Grapefruit
rated 3 of 5
dbmiller 2/8/2007 12:11:00 PM

I agree with some of the other reviewers. This is nice but not something I can't do without. It's pretty in the tube but I wish it was more milky because it's a little too sheer. It smells amazing, but I also wish that it tasted that way.

Lip Gloss -Maybelline - Shiny-Licious - Coconut Cream
rated 5 of 5

So delicious! This lip gloss tastes so yummy! It's pretty too. A little on the sheer side. It's moisturizing and I like the packing with the fuzzy tip applicator.

Lip Gloss -Philosophy - Powdered Sugar Cookie Lip Shine
rated 4 of 5
dbmiller 2/6/2007 1:49:00 PM

I like this stuff. 'Powdered Sugar Cookie', however, is so far from being an appropriate name. With that said, I still like the lemony scent and flavor. Why didn't they just name is appropriately though?! Anyway, it's yummy tasting and smelling, moisturizing, and pretty shine. It also has the same thick and a little sticky texture as all of the Philosophy Lip Shines.

Lip Gloss -Philosophy - Candy Cane lip shine
rated 4 of 5

This stuff is comparable to CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine. The minor difference is that Mentha tastes and smells slightly sweeter, which I like. The texture is very similar, slightly thick and sticky. Seems like Philosophy lasts a little longer though. In any case, I like this. It's yummy.

Lip Gloss -Bonne Bell - Vita Gloss 02 (solid stick form)
rated 4 of 5
dbmiller 1/23/2007 11:50:00 AM

I got this in Peaceful Pineapple, and I'm sort of embarrased to say (after reading all the negative reviews) that I actually like it. I agree with everyone else that it's sort of hard to apply and that it doesn't really shine. I'm really not into the patent leather shiny look anyway, so this works for me. And it's really good at healing my chapped lips. Smells delicious too!

Lip Gloss -Cover Girl - Smoothwear Lip Tints-Next to Nude
rated 5 of 5
dbmiller 1/9/2007 6:54:00 PM

I really like this. The color is similar to most nudes, but pretty sheer on lips. I wish the color intensity was a little bit more. What I like the most is that it's very moisturizing. I reach for this sometimes in place of a lip balm. It's very good.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous in Carbon Black
rated 5 of 5
dbmiller 1/9/2007 1:14:00 PM

LOVE IT. Dramatically black, my favorite. Voluminous is the perfect name for this mascara, because that's exactly what it does. Also lengthens if used correctly. Used with Tweezerman Fast Lash, and you have the most dramatic evening lashes. I try to stray away to others, but always come back to old faithful. I've been rotating this with L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen, Cover Girl Lash Blast and Maybelline Collosal. Those four are my HG mascaras.

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara Blackest Black
rated 4 of 5

I got angry at this mascara about a month ago, put it up in my "can't really use but don't want to throw away makeup stash" and bought L'Oreal Voluminous, which btw, I love. Then the airport lost my luggage for a few days, so I was reaching for my "can't really use but don't want to throw away makeup stash". This mascara gets better with age! I think it dries it out a little and is much more effective. I'll be buying again, and ignoring for a month, heehee!

Lip Treatments -Alba Botanica - Coconut Cream Lip Balm

This is so delicious! And it's pretty darn moisturizing. The only thing it lacks is SPF. But it smells absolutely divine!
