Shampoo -Alberto Vo5 - Kiwi Lime Squeeze Clarifying Shampoo
londara 5/24/2005 1:29:00 PM
Makes my hair exceptionally silky and soft. For $1.27 this a steal and is more effective than most other shampoos. The results seem to be better when it is not paired with the conditioner and the shampoo alone makes my hair light and clean. Fresh tangy fruit scent.

Lip Gloss -Bonne Bell - Lip Frosting in Birthday
londara 5/24/2005 1:25:00 PM
Lip Frosting in Birthday is absolutely delicious and leaves a gorgeous, innocent shimmer. Packaging is simple and practical, but does collect fuzz from my pocket. It's yummy, too--vanilla frosting perfection!

Crème -Ben Nye - Matte Foundation
londara 5/24/2005 1:23:00 PM
For theatrical purposes this is great, but that means it is a bit on the heavy side so I don't wear it out too frequently. Contrary to the name, it is not too matte and it accentuates dry spots. However, it is kinder to my skin than other foundations and I don't break out too badly. Decent quality and price. EDIT: Ooh--Bad! I wore this for a photoshoot and it has caused me to break out like mad. Grrr...

Mascara -Cover Girl - Triple Aquastay Mascara
londara 5/24/2005 1:16:00 PM
Meh. Not too waterproof and comes off easily. It's clumpy and does not curl, despite what Covergirl would lead you to believe and it smudges. The black is not as black as it could be either. Smells really nasty and chemically. Not my cup of tea.

Lip Gloss -Mary Kate and Ashley - Ultra Wet Lip Gloss in Truly
londara 5/24/2005 1:14:00 PM
Yay! I am gorgeous and tan now so I can wear this gloss! I would not attempt wearing this if I were very pale because it would wash my face out, but the consistency is on the thick side and the goldy-peach color make it worth while for the warmer months. Only a slight chocolatey fragrance and no taste.

Lip Gloss -Bonne Bell - Smackers Layered cake gloss
londara 3/27/2005 10:54:00 AM
Tried this in Ice Cream Cake. Cute packaging, but it makes gloss ooze all over the place. I don't particularly care for the smell, which is like very artificial Neopolitan ice cream. Thin in texture, and kind of dries my lips. Pretty shimmer though!

Eyeliner -Prestige - Waterproof Eyeliner
londara 3/27/2005 10:49:00 AM
ARRGG!! The color Lightning (a bright teal green) is fun for going out and looks gorgeous for the first hour or so. I wore it to a high school dance, and afterward when I came home, I looked in the mirror to see if I was still looking great, and lo and behold it was a MESS! Sooo embarrassing. It smudged all over the place. Definitely not waterproof either. Save your money and don't wear this in public!

Lipstick -Maybelline - Moisture Whip Lipstick
londara 3/27/2005 10:17:00 AM
The tube is very pretty, but the taste is not. It has a soapy perfume smell which is not the best to have directly beneath your nose all day and the texture is rather greasy. The color, Pink Topaz, is not very pink at all. It's a warm bronzy peach, which theoretically should work for my warm coloring but is too dark for me to wear in the day. For a more sheer finish I slick some balm underneath and the effect is beautiful. Edit: I've gotten over the smell. With a tan this is gorgeous. Try dabbing a bit of shimmery gloss in the center of both top and bottom lips for a gorgeous plump effect.

Lip Gloss -Bloom - Lip Gloss in Melon
londara 3/27/2005 10:08:00 AM
Lovely sheer watermelonish tint. I like the citrus/vanilla smell and smooth texture, although it is rather sticky. The reason why I would not repurchase is because it's sooo expensive and there are drugstore glosses with the same effect for a quarter of the cost!

Lipstick -Rimmel - Volume Boost Lipstick
londara 1/1/2005 12:27:00 PM
Great little lip treat! It seems to posses moisturizing properties and smells sweet and like chocolate. Lasts a reasonable amount of time, but I do wish it didn't leave such profound lip prints on whatever my lips happen to grace (aka drinking glasses, my hand if it should accidentally smudge against it, etc.). I love the color, which I got in HELLO!! Warm perfect brightening pink.

Eyeliner -Maybelline - Expert Eyes in Ebony Black
londara 12/22/2004 12:38:00 AM
Love the packaging. It's quite handy really, and I adore the rich inky black. This came a gift pack and it was reasonably priced, so that factor does not discourage me from repurchasing. But I must gripe about the lasting power, which happens to be next to none. It smeared and came off shortly (like a half hour) after application. Grr...Then again, I do tend to be oily so it probably works well for others.

Lip Gloss -Bonne Bell - Vita Gloss O2
londara 12/22/2004 12:34:00 AM
Loved the packaging, the taste and scent, and the texture--initially. However, after having it a couple months the smell became unbearable and acidic, in other words totally rancid. It was the most disgusting thing to slather all over my lips and discover the smell wanted to make me hurl after one whiff. Because of this, I won't buy it again, but it was excellent at first. Even after it's nasty transformation the tube was still uber cute and it was still smooth and gel-like!

Mascara -Physicians Formula - Retro Glow Mascara
londara 12/22/2004 12:30:00 AM
The packaging is elegant, but the overall performance of this mascara was so-so. False eyelash effect? I think not, but it did slightly lenghthen my lashes and darkened them. My main complaint is that it did not poof my lashes to the degree I had hoped and left smudge marks on my bottom lids. Also, when taking the wand out it clumps about the top of the tube and can get messy and waste a ton of product. I typically like a more dramatic effect, and to achieve that I prefer Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara at half the cost, so I'll probably go back to that when I'm done with this tube. To make a long story short this is an overpriced mediocre mascara.
