Eye Shadow -Bare Escentuals - Well Rested
rated 5 of 5

This is a wonderful eyeshadow that helps your eyes look awake and rested. A pretty light neutral shade that works as a highlighter and under the brow. It reminds me a lot of MAC vanilla but with a tad more color to it. This is an eyeshadow I will not be without!

Highlighters -Bare Escentuals - Warm Radiance
rated 5 of 5
CarolynF 6/2/2004 8:41:00 PM

This product is incredible not only for warm toned gals but for cool toned gals as well. It is just what the name says, warm radiance to your face. Like a gorgeous candlelight glow that I would wear both at day and night. Great on eyes, cheeks, and as a bronzer. This is a product I will use daily, LOVE!!

I have short lashes and this is my favorite lancome mascara now. I have loved defincils for years and I still this it is an awesome product. For me and my short lashes, Hypnose is a wonderful product that gives me longer lashes than I have ever had before.

Fragrances -Kenneth Cole - Kenneth Cole 'BLACK' for women
rated 4 of 5
CarolynF 5/31/2004 6:27:00 PM

This is such a nice smelling fragrance that is a wonderful springtime scent but also a scent I would easily wear in the fall and winter as well. The notes are: Black violet, white hyacinth, fresh citrus, tuberrose, magnolia, lotus flower, white musk, orris, sandalwood, and sweet amber. This scent is very feminine and sophisticated and I get compliments when I wear it.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous - Pink Afterglow 020
rated 5 of 5
CarolynF 5/31/2004 6:20:00 PM

I have other super lustrous glosses that I really like but pink afterglow is not one of them. Gorgeous color in the tube but shoes up clear with glitter on the lips that ends up getting all over my face. I gave this gloss to my 12 year old daughter and she won't wear it either. Editting my review 12/04: I have been reaching for this for a nice pink gloss to wear alone and now I looove it! Who new?? What started out as dislike due to the glitter factor, ended up in true love!! I am glad my daughter did not take it!

Mascara -Mirenesse - Secret Weapon Mascara
rated 4 of 5
CarolynF 4/20/2004 10:41:00 PM

This is a nice mascara and gives my short lashes a lot of volume and makes them look thicker. My favorite mascara is still definicils but I have to say this stuff is very nice. I started with the black shade and ordered a brown as well. This is one of the first brown mascaras that actually show up on me and is really nice for daytime. I will reorder this.

Liquid -Estee Lauder - Ideal Matte
rated 4 of 5
CarolynF 4/14/2004 9:36:00 PM

This is a wonderful foundation. Looks great in pictures and evens out my skin with medium to light coverage. Feels like a powder consistancy when it dries on my skin and feels as if it smooths the skin as well. I wear fresco. In Lancome maquicontrole I am Beige Natural III, in Mary Kay I wear Ivory 200 and in MAC I am NC25. Does not break me out and stays more matte than my beloved Lancome Maquicontrole.

rated 4 of 5

This mask is a yummy treat to use. It smells delicious and is cleaning without being stripping. I feel this mask is great for my oily acne prone 35 year old skin. I dont get the "flakies" after I use it and my skin feels soft and glowy! This is a mask I will keep rebuying!

I cannot believe I paid such a horrendous amoutn for a serum but it works awesomely!! I full time student in the Registered Nursing program and I am stressed to the max and this product is a lifesaver for my skin!! My blackheads are almost all gone after a month use and my skin is clearer and radient! Worth every penny. I just reordered another bottle so I know I will not run out!!

I also bought this is physique. It is a pretty pink shade with shimmer. Great for pretty nails with a light shade. I wear this on days I am in clinical for school for the nursing program. I think it lasts well and looks great! My 12 year old loves this shade too and wears it often. I will rebuy!

Very pretty tropical scent. I can picture this on a nice summer day on my daughter. Smells innocent and fun. The bad news is that it has no staying power what-so-ever.

This is the best base coat I have ever used. This keeps my nails white and healthy looking. Also, my nails are strong and my polish stays on longer. I will definately repurchase!

Lotions/ Creams -Bath and Body Works - Coconut Lime Verbena
rated 4 of 5
CarolynF 2/28/2004 6:25:00 PM

Coconut, lime and verbena with a hint of vanilla. Yum! Great for warm weather. If you like coconut, you will like this. The coconut is not overpowering and the verbena gives is a fresh and clean scent.

Lotions/ Creams -Bath and Body Works - Cucumber Melon Body Lotion
rated 3 of 5

This is a nice scent for a hot day. Light and refreshing but not one of my favorites. I received this as a gift and I will use it up but it is definately not one I would have chose for myself.
