Fragrances -Yves Saint Laurent - Opium
Peaches27 8/12/2008 11:07:00 AM
Well, what can I say, Opium has been a favorite of mine for years! I love it. I haven't purchased it in a while...which reminds me that I need to do so. I started wearing it when I was about 16 and have loved it ever since. Yes, it's a strong perfume...it's bold, but it's beautiful and distinct. I can spot an Opium wearer immediately. I just love that it has a smell of its own and it is sooo sexy. I've had more compliments when wearing this than any other fragrance. LOVE it.

Powder -Alima - Satin Matte Mineral Foundation
Peaches27 7/30/2008 12:23:00 PM
Well, I just got my samples a few days ago, and so far I like it. I'm ordering more because the color wasn't exactly what I wanted but after I asked for advise from the makeup artist I now know what I need. It's a little more matte then what I'm used though. Good, even coverage and stays put. Too soon to tell about breakouts but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. EDIT- Well, I just can't do it...it's too matte for me. I really wanted to like this but after using it for a few days I just couldn't handle the duleness. Bummer...

Lipstick -Cover Girl - Outlast
Peaches27 2/19/2008 9:32:00 AM
Yucko, I HATE this stuff. I forgot my makeup bag at home and I had this stuff on my desk from a while ago but never used it. So...first off, it smells then i applied it and it felt tight and gross. Well, trying to take it off now and I can't get it off. My lips look shriveled up and have a greyish cast to them. Even tried with soap. In the trash it goes.

Powder -Revlon - ColorStay Mineral Foundation
Peaches27 1/30/2008 12:12:00 AM
don't really care for this product like i did when i first tried it. my initial reaction was that it was okay, but after about a week it's just an average product. doesn't cover very well, and certainly doesn't stay on for 16 hours. i prefer the almay to this!

Treatments -Pro Activ - Proactiv Repairing Lotion
Peaches27 1/16/2008 9:43:00 AM
THis is just an okay product. I'm surprised by all the hype of it because any reviews I see that I read (like here), it doesn't do very well. It didn't sting my skin at all, but my skin does okay with BP so I wasn't really worried about that. Crappy part, it does stain stuff. So many of my towels are ruined because of it. I don't really get it because when I just use like Clean & Clear BP, it doesn't stain anything. Anyway, it seemed to work pretty well for a while...no miracle or anything, but a noticeable difference. My first bottle lasted a good while, then I decided to buy another bottle when I moved from Florida to Colorado. Well, I was so mad because I bought from one of those mall stands and they still charge you shipping, WFT!?!? Annoyed the hell out of me. For some reason since I have been here it just hasn't worked as well and I decided to stop using it. Sucks because I paid $28 for the crap and didn't use much of it. Definitely not the miracle producted that they claim it to be.

Foundations -Almay - Almay Pure Blends Mineral Makeup
Peaches27 7/13/2007 2:38:00 PM
This is the first mineral makeup I have tried and so far, I am pleased. It feels so light and sheer, but covers so well. It gives a nice glowing appearance without looking greasy. The shade selection is limited so that it a bummer. I have to mix 2 together and they don't give you much product either. EDIT: I am no longer wearing this...made my skin itche too bad fron the bismuth in the summer! Just too may negatives with this, poor packaging (even though I dumped the product in a little powder jar anyway), limited color selection and not much product for the price.

Cleansers -Purpose - Gentle Cleansing Wash
Peaches27 7/13/2007 2:10:00 PM
I have been using this product for a few years now. It's nothing fancy, but it isn't supposed to be a miracle product, just a gentle cleanser. I refuse to spend tons of money on something that just washes down the sink. So, it does what it's supposed to do...cleans my face.

Moisturizers -Aveeno - Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer spf15
Peaches27 7/13/2007 2:07:00 PM
This wasn't as good as I expected it to be. It just didn't do much for my skin. I think it even broke me a out a little. Again, another product not worth the money I spent on it.

Treatments -Estee Lauder - Idealist
Peaches27 7/13/2007 2:04:00 PM
I think this product is WAY overpriced. It just doesn't do a whole for being so expensive. It feels kinda nice and smells pretty, but that's about it. I will not be buying this again.

Treatments -Clean & Clear - Persagel 10
Peaches27 7/13/2007 10:40:00 AM
This is not a miracle product, but it works pretty good most of the time. It dries up certain pimples quickly, then sometimes it doesn't work at all. But I always keep a tube in my drawer, I like it better than any other bp product.

Styling Products -John Frieda - Dream Cream
Peaches27 7/13/2007 10:38:00 AM
This is an okay product, nothing really fabulous about it. It doesn't make my hair dreamy, I'll just say that. I will not re-purchase.

Conditioner -Redken - All Soft Conditioner
Peaches27 7/13/2007 10:36:00 AM
Ok, so this is probably not the best conditioner ever, but it's pretty good. When my hair is healthy it works great. I color my hair a lot though so I have to use deep conditioners and have it cut frequently. So, when I do that...I like this product, keep my hair soft.

Cleansers -Alpha Hydrox - Foaming Face Wash
Peaches27 7/2/2007 2:34:00 PM
I just got this about a week ago as a freebie when I ordered the Enhanced Cream from Drugstore.com. So far so good, it seems to be a pretty good cleanser. I use Purpose first, just to make sure I have most of my makeup off, then finish with this.
