Sunscreen -Neutrogena - Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF45
rated 1 of 5

URGH! Hugest rant from me! It seems like my experience with this product is totally oppisite of everyone elses. This suncreen smelt like suncreen to me (you know what I'm talking about!). Also, its not nearly as matte as I imagined it. It actually left me kind of oily! The worst part: I had awful breakouts from it! I'm not sure if it is even oil free. Overpriced also at 8.99 here.

Masks -Bath and Body Works - Purifying Facial Mask
rated 3 of 5
Soybeans236 4/15/2003 7:50:00 PM

I purchased this several years ago so I'm not postive if they even sell this. I wanted something to clear out my pores. This did that and left me with NO blackheads at all. Whoo! However, the tee tree oil in it really dried and irratitated my skin, which is oily with flakies and not all that sensitive. I wouldn't buy again.

Eye Shadow -Jane - Eye Zings
rated 4 of 5
Soybeans236 4/15/2003 7:48:00 PM

I love Jane Eyezings! I've probably owned 25 of them, but I've ended up keeping 12, and they are all in the MAC 15 pan. Some colors are not pigmented at all, (Shrinking Violet) and the matte's can be crumly. But for the most part, they are exceptional! For cool toned, LLL, blue eyed me I love: Sungloss, Pretty in Pink (discontinued =(, Dream Cream, and Brownie Points.

Lipstick -Stila - Lipstick- Emily

Rant here. This wasn't pinky nude like I wanted it to be, just brown. You couldn't really see it on me, and it washed me out. The texture was hard too. GRRR!

Lotions/ Creams -Neutrogena - Norwegian Formula body moisturizer
rated 2 of 5
Soybeans236 4/10/2003 7:52:00 PM

I was cleaning out my bathroom cuppord and found this lotion the other day. It's unscented and rather rich. It left my skin feeling too greasy. =( I prefer Simplyscents lotions or St. Ive's Whipped Silk. This might be good for someone with seriously dry skin though, which I don't have.

Eye Makeup Remover -Mary Kay - Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover
rated 5 of 5
Soybeans236 4/10/2003 7:50:00 PM

This stuff is holy grain worthy! It removes all my waterproof makeup with out a trace and it really is NON oily! It's never irrated my eyes, which is good. The only other remover I'd even consider trying is MAC's, but otherwise, I'm hopelessly devoted to Mary Kays! $14.00 well spent! (Note: There seems to be two categories for this product so I am placing my review in both.)

Lotions/ Creams -Bath and Body Works - Antibacterial Hand Lotion in Warm Vanilla Sugar
rated 4 of 5
Soybeans236 4/10/2003 7:47:00 PM

I really like this! I'm not sure if it has helped me stay healthier, but it is sure convienent after going to the bathroom or before eating! I have several scents and I like Vanilla the best. Only, I wish it was just vanilla and not sugar as the sugar scent is really sweet IMO. The only con I can think of is that it is not as moisturizing as a rich hand cream.

Styling Products -Redken - Guts
rated 2 of 5
Soybeans236 4/10/2003 7:45:00 PM

My hair has a good amount of body, but I recieved Redken Guts as a gift and decided to try it out. It didn't really seem to make a huge diffence in my hair, and I actually think it weighed it down! MY best friend with very fine hair (who I gave this too) swears by it though!

Conditioner -Redken - So Long Conditioner
rated 4 of 5
Soybeans236 4/10/2003 7:43:00 PM

I have hair about to my shoulders so I might not be the right person to review this, but I will anyways. This is a decent product and very moisturizing. But I can't understand how this is different than any other conditioners as far as it helping especially long hair.

Cleansers -Olay - Foaming Face Wash
rated 4 of 5
Soybeans236 4/10/2003 7:41:00 PM

This product is actually not that bad! I bought it several years ago, and used it up during the UiU challenge. It effectively removes M/U without stripping. It also wasn't to rich for my oily skin. The next time I purchase I'd get the unscented because the scent is quite perfumey.

Lotions/ Creams -Aveeno - Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion with Cooling Menthol
rated 2 of 5
Soybeans236 4/4/2003 10:11:00 PM

This is REALLY heavy moisturizer that would probably be good for someone with a rash. I hated the menthol scent though, it stings like mad on freshly shaved legs! Argh. I used my 16 oz bottle up but I wouldn't buy again.

Cleansers -Dove - Beauty Bar - Sensitive Skin
rated 4 of 5
Soybeans236 4/4/2003 10:10:00 PM

Dove is the ultimate soap for sensitive skin. I use these a ton! They are ultra moisturizing and lather up well. Unfortunatly, they do have a slight perfume scent, nothing that bad though. A staple for me! (PS: The bars will last longer that the washes, more cost effective.)
