Lipstick -Revlon - Super Lustrous Lipstick in Deep Nude [DISCONTINUED]
fridaycat 6/13/2004 11:51:00 AM
This is an HG in my cosmetics case. My fair skin, brown hair, and brown/hazel eyes look great with this and yes, it still looks great as it fades. I agree that the name is deceiving, it gives much more color than other nude shades. I especially like to use Deep Nude when I'm wearing browns or reds or greens in my clothes.

Lipstick -Clinique - Long last Lipstick - Bamboo Pink
fridaycat 6/13/2004 11:44:00 AM
An Allure magazine Best of Beauty winner . . . Bamboo Pink is one of my HG shades even though Clinique's lipsticks don't have much staying power. I've repurchased this several times.

Lipstick -Clinique - Almost Lipstick - Black Honey
fridaycat 6/13/2004 11:39:00 AM
I purchases this based on the Allure's Reader Choice Awards. Black Honey deserves the recognition it's received. Pros: The color is great and the texture is not too glossy - a shade I love to wear on casual weekends. A definite staple in my cosmetics case. I would repurchase. Cons: I would expect Clinique to charge less for a gloss than a lipstick. Also, I think the package design could be improved. I'm not crazy about the angled design.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous mascara 
fridaycat 6/13/2004 11:27:00 AM
This mascara is wonderful for the first few hours but then it becomes dry and horribly flaky. From that point on it bothers my contacts horrendously. For this reason I just can't repurchase it.

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara
fridaycat 6/13/2004 11:23:00 AM
This mascara is continually winning awards in magazines and for that reason I've been trying it on and off over the years. Each time I end up dumbfounded as to why it's so popular. This mascara does nothing to lengthen, thicken, or separate my lashes. Last year I vowed to ignore the seemingly high regard for this product and never buy it again.

Mascara -Maybelline - Full 'N Soft Mascara
fridaycat 6/13/2004 11:14:00 AM
Maybelline couldn't have named this product more appropriately. I bought this after reading the reviews here and it's definately a My Eyelashes Only Better product. Highly recommend this as the best drugstore brand mascara.

Styling Products -Matrix - Biolage - Curl Definining Creme
fridaycat 6/13/2004 11:07:00 AM
Great scent, great pump dispenser and that's about all that's good with this product. It did absolutely nothing to define my curls. I agree with the MUAer who said you might as well be putting body lotion on your hair. That's exactly what it felt like.

Love this lip balm. Refreshing scent/taste and feels very natural on my lips - yay for no waxy residue.

Styling Products -Clairol - Herbal Essences Maximum Control Mousse
fridaycat 6/13/2004 10:58:00 AM
I used this several years ago but then went to higher-end styling products. After reading reviews here I was reminded of how great this stuff is and went out and bought a can. Yep, still excellent! My thick hair with loose curls does well with this. No frizz and a very natural hold. I will be buying this again.

Lotions/ Creams -Sally Hansen - 18 Hour Protective Hand Cream
fridaycat 6/11/2004 3:22:00 PM
No doubt my HG of hand creams, need I say more?? :) This also comes recommended by Allure magazine in their Best of Beauty issue. I agree when they say this stuff works better than the high-end hand creams.

Moisturizers -Clean & Clear - morning glow spf 15
fridaycat 6/11/2004 3:16:00 PM
This product serves as proof that you don't need to spend alot at a department or specialty store to achieve great skin. As for the smell, it doesn't linger for long and I actually don't mind the scent. UPDATE: I've been using this product for 2 weeks now and it continues to work tremendously with my skin. In fact, my skin hasn’t looked this great in a couple of years.

Moisturizers -Mary Kay - Timewise Age Fighting Moisturizer w/ SPF
fridaycat 6/11/2004 3:12:00 PM
This is just way too greasy for my skin. I tried it for 2 months and it never got any better. Also, at $18 a pop, I expected the packaging to be of better quality than a drugstore brand. It sure didn't. Won't be using this anymore.

Liquid -Jane - Stay Calm Foundation [DISCONTINUED]
fridaycat 6/11/2004 3:08:00 PM
I would have *never* tried this foundation if it weren't for the rave reviews here. About the time I was reading the reviews for Stay Calm I was becoming immensely dissatisfied with my recently purchased Perfectly Real Makeup from Clinique. I thought 'what the heck?' and returned the $22 Clinique Perfectly Real and bought a $4 bottle of Jane's Stay Calm. WOW! Stay Calm is awesome! It goes on silky smooth, keeps oil at a minimum, and has SPF to boot. Hours later it's still looking great. I am still in shock at how great this stuff is.
