Lotions/ Creams -Bath and Body Works - Tutti Dolci - Sugar Wafer Moisturizing Souffle
Chrysynthia2 1/5/2005 2:08:00 PM
I got this scent and the chocolate fondue in my stocking and I love them both. I only use a small amount mixed in in with my usual (unscented) body lotion and the scent is not too overpowering at all. It lasts from after my morning shower until I get into bed. Very nice product, definitly better than many of the other B&BW lotions I've tried, most of which smell as though they should be worn by a 13 year old girl. UPDATE 8-9-05: ended up exchanging this for the body wash...the lotion tasted really bad when I put it on my neck and shoulders according to my boyfriend; I tried tasting my arm after I had applied it, and he's right, blech!

Polishes -Revlon - Colorstay Nail color

I use this primarily on my toes, since it does tend to chip a bit on my fingers (on my fingers I use their Always On). The coverage is great, the polish isn't too thin or too thick so it goes on smoothly and evenly. I have several bottles, and will be buying more- especially since they have those cute little stocking stuffer sets that are essentially two for one!

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara

This stuff is horrible! I'm amazed that they even make this stuff still. I tried it once in high school and ended up with all of it under my eyes by the end of the day. One poster mentioned that the mascara isnt all that great when you first open it (too thin/slick) and gets too thick later on, WHY would anyone buy a mascara that you have to wait for it to "season" in order for it to be even barely useable for a very short window of time? Especially since there are so many better mascaras out there for a comparable price. Terrible product, terrible waste of money!

Polishes -Revlon - ColorStay Always On Nail Enamel [DISCONTINUED]
Chrysynthia2 12/2/2004 10:25:00 AM
This is a great polish. Most of the time my polish chips within two days of applying it, but this stuff lasts 5-7 days on me. I decided to take off 1 lippie because 1)It doesn't quite live up to the 7-10 days claim on me, and 2)The color selection is sorely lacking in variety. Otherwise I will be buying more of this polish.

Eye Primer -Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Original (UDPP)

This is the BEST stuff. Usually when I wear shadow I have shiny creased eyelids before lunch, and by the end of my work day I look as though I'm not wearing anything. I used to try putting on foundation as a base to make my shadow stay, but that didn't help much at all.
I put a few dots of this primer on my eyelids and blended with my ring finger and then put my shadow over top. I did this yesterday at 7:30 am for work and my shadow was still there, just as I had applied it, at 9 pm! I couldn't believe it and couldn't stop checking out my still-visible shadow as I drove home from work. I had been thinking that the problem was my shadow and was considering trying some of the mineral shadows (which are really expensive IMO) that are out there, but now I don't have to this stuff is only $14, which is cheaper than most of those shadows and I'll be using it under all of my powder shadows making it a much better value.
I am curious as to how it performs under revlons cream shadows since those usually crease in under 2 hrs on me...anyone try it yet?
8-9-05 UPDATE: I have turned so many people on to this wonderful product, my mom, my best friend, and a girl at work who rarely even wears makeup! I got up at 6am and drove for 5.5 hours to see my best friend, we went out shopping, cleaned her apartment, and then went out dancing till 3am...and my e/s was still fantastic!!! She noticed and begged me to tell her what I was using!!!
