Lips -Revlon - Shiny Sheers - Sheer Afterglow 810
beauty_junkie_04 4/14/2007 8:26:00 AM
This is my favorite shade from the Shiny Sheers line. This shade goes with ANY eye/cheek makeup and just adds a nice, shimmery gloss to the lips. Not really any color, just a pretty "moist, healthy lips" effect. I think the staying power is pretty good, and the consistency is nice...I like that it looks glossy on the lips, but doesn't feel sticky or thick on the lips. LOVE!!!

Lipstick -Revlon - Super Lustrous Shiny Sheers in Sheer Glistening Rose 825
beauty_junkie_04 4/14/2007 8:23:00 AM
This is a lovely spring/summer shade. Sheer, slightly shimmery warm rose color that's just barely more than a YLBB shade. LOVE this!

Lips -Revlon - Shiny Sheers- Sheer Dewy Blossom 820
beauty_junkie_04 4/14/2007 8:21:00 AM
Dewy Blossom looks a bit scary in the tube...very bright, hot pink! I almost didn't buy this simply becuse bright pinks look horrible on me, but I figured I'd give it a chance since I love the other shades so much. I'm glad I bought this! The color is VERY sheer, so it just shows up as a slight pink tint - not bright or scary at all! I REALLY love the formulation of these gloss sticks, I believe I just might stock up on every color, maybe back-ups of absolute favorites. Right now these are my HG lippies.

Self Tanners -Maybelline - Maybelline Tinted Self Tanner
beauty_junkie_04 4/9/2007 9:29:00 PM
Saw these at my local Dollar Tree and bought one. After buying it, and before using it, I checked P'Ville reviews and since it seems everyone likes it so much, I went back and bought 9 more. Heck, for $1.00 each you can't beat it! I did my first application tonight, and WOW!!! I'm not orange!!! I'm using the Light/Meduim shade, and I now have a gorgeous golden skin. It's not a dark tan, but more of a healthy golden bronze glowy-ness and I love it! Application was easy, since it has a slight tint so you can see where you're putting the product. And the light gel consistency is great, it blends so well and so easily. LOVE!!!

Lips -Revlon - Shiny Sheers - Sheer Afterglow 810
beauty_junkie_04 4/4/2007 9:32:00 AM
I love these!!! I have almost all of the colors, but Afterglow is my favorite. The perfect YLBB shade for me. It's glossy without being sticky, and I think the staying power is pretty decent. I especially love Afterglow with a dark, smoky eye...gorgeous!! I will probably buy one or two more of this shade as back-ups just in case.

Styling Products -TRESemme - Tres Two Ultra Fine Mist Hairspray
beauty_junkie_04 1/27/2007 10:07:00 AM
I only gave this hairspray 3 lippies because I haven't seen any evidence that it helps tame frizz. My hair frizzed up in mildly humid weather, even with this hairspray. Aside from that, I do like this hairspray for the scent and the hold. I prefer light hold hairsprays that allow your hair to move and feel soft, and this fits the bill. And when I use this, I can't stop smelling my hair! I'll probably repurchase, but I do wish it helped with the frizzies.

Treatments -TRESemme - Color Thrive Daily Color Lock-In Spray
beauty_junkie_04 1/27/2007 10:04:00 AM
I recently colored my hair a darker brown. My experience with brown haircolor in the past is that it fades VERY quickly and doesn't keep that rich, deep tone after 2-3 shampoos. So, I decided to try the Color Thrive Shampoo and Conditioner this time. I also bought the Color Thrive Daily Color Lock-In Spray. The products work in conjunction with each other, so I'm basically reviewing the whole "routine".
Right after coloring my hair and rinsing out the dye, I towel-dried my hair and immediately applied the Daily Color Lock-In Spray (it says on the bottle to apply after coloring and leave in for 24 hours before shampooing). I sprayed it all over my hair and combed it through, then dried and styled my hair as usual.
The following day, I washed my hair with the Color Thrive Shampoo and Conditioner. I was skeptical because in the past, I've noticed major color loss in the first washing after coloring my hair with ANY brown color. After towel-drying my hair, I applied the Daily Color Lock-In Spray again, then dried and styled my hair as usual.
To my surprise, this stuff works! I didn't experience any color loss and my hair color is just as rich as the day I colored it!
I've followed this routine for three washings now, and I've still experienced no color loss. So far, this system is working well!! YAY!!!

Lotions/ Creams -Avon - Skin So Soft Age-Defying Rough Skin Retexturizer
beauty_junkie_04 1/27/2007 9:49:00 AM
This cream is really thick and slightly greasy, but it's a great cream for dry feet. I put this on while my feet are slightly damp after bath or shower, and then put on a thick pair of socks. I tend to walk around the house barefoot a lot, and sometimes get rough callouses. This cream has helped a lot to soften the rough spots.

Lotions/ Creams -Avon - Skin So Soft Age-Defying Hand Cream
beauty_junkie_04 1/27/2007 9:46:00 AM
This is my favorite nighttime hand cream (I use a different, lighter and cream during the day). The scent is nice, and the texture is thick and silky. It does leave a slight "greasy" feeling on the hands, and that's why I only use this at bedtime. But it does work very well to heal dry, cracked cuticles and generally soften the hands. I have noticed that the tops of my hands are much smoother and more even-toned since I started using this hand cream.

Lotions/ Creams -Avon - Moisture Therapy Hand Cream
beauty_junkie_04 1/27/2007 9:41:00 AM
I have the "Intensive" one, and this is my favorite daytime hand cream (I use a different hand cream for nighttime). It's moderately thick, but sinks into the skin quickly and doesn't leave a greasy residue on the hands. I apply this hand cream after every hand-washing, and it works well to lock in moisture and soften the cuticles.

Lip Treatments -Avon - Moisture Therapy - Moisturizing Lip Treatment (tube)
beauty_junkie_04 1/27/2007 9:37:00 AM
This is my favorite lip balm. It's not too thicky or waxy feeling, but more slippery and light on the lips. There's no scent or flavor, which I like. It's very moisturizing and leaves my lips very soft. I've tried MANY different brands od lips balms, and I always come back to this.

Treatments -Totally Juicy - Mango Taffy Pore Strips
beauty_junkie_04 1/22/2007 10:41:00 AM
I was going to buy some more Biore pore strips when I was at Ulta, but I saw this and decided to give it a try. It was only $2.89, so I figured it was worth a shot. I've used this three times, and so far I like it.
It's really thick and goopy, and can be difficult to apply without getting it all over the place. I make thin "strips" along the sides of my nose and on my chin, where I tend to get blackheads. You can feel a cool, minty tingle while the strips dry, which I find kind of nice.
Once it's dry, you peel it off just like a regular pore strip. Although these strips seem to be a little harder to pull off, and sometimes it leaves behind a little bit of crusty-ness that has to be scrubbed off afterward. But these strips did remove my blackheads and made my pores noticably smaller. My face felt nice and smooth.
I will repurchase this instead of buying the Biore strips.

Fragrances -Parfums de Coeur - Cucumber Melon Fantasy Body Spray
beauty_junkie_04 1/22/2007 10:32:00 AM
I don't smell any cucumber or melon in this, but I love it anyway. It's a very clean scent, and reminds me of some kind of soap I had once and can't remember what kind it was. Great summertime scent.
