Lip Gloss -Yves Saint Laurent - Golden Gloss 3 - Pink
sweetpea1283 6/23/2006 1:50:00 AM
Tastes like Mango, very pretty and glossy. I am white but my friend who is a darker complexion tried it and the gold flecks scattered on her face as it wore off. I looked up close and it did the same thing to me but you couldn't see it on me. Just something to keep in mind. I think it is worth a try and I like it but not sure if I'd go for it again. Kind of fun for something cute in the purse to show your girlfriends though :)

Lip Treatments -Clinique - Superbalm Lip Treatment
sweetpea1283 6/23/2006 1:46:00 AM
I don't think this is similar to Vaseline at all (as someone below said)... It is a great texture that doesn't slide off the lips, sticky but in a good way, not tacky, lasts a long time and fades well. (Eg I think in contrast, mac lipglass does not fade well, it gets dry and leaves a weird effects as it wears off). It feels really moisturizing and really got me thru an entire winter chap lip free which is a huge accomplishment! I like it during the day or before bed. Fabulous stuff. And I'm kind of a snob on brands, for some reason I don't like clinique a lot but I am willing to say I love this stuff.

Cleansers -Christian Dior - Softening Cleansing Milk
sweetpea1283 3/15/2006 11:38:00 PM
I'm a lil shocked at the so so reviews. I love this stuff! I have sensitive skin. I mix about 2 squirts with some water, and this leaves my skin clean and very smooth and glowy. I use it at night only, since I just water rinse in the morning. As a note, I'm reviewing the softening cleansing milk for face and eyes... I assume that this is the same product.

Brows -BeneFit Cosmetics - Brow Zing in Light
sweetpea1283 1/1/2006 7:54:00 PM
The reason I say that the price is a 1, "dirt cheap," is because this stuff will NEVER run out. I use it every day, a definite HG. It has lasted 2 years already and looks like it prob run out for like 5 years from now. I use a little wax first then use the powder. I don't have any trouble with opening the packaging, i took the lil tweezers out long ago because they sometimes popped out, and since then the two cute little brushes sit in there just fine. let me emphasize this is serious HG material, i have dark blonde hair but pretty thin eyebrows, and this is great to bring out the arch of my eyebrows and not look fake AT ALL. i would die if it looked like i was wearing "eyebrow makeup" its just so old sounding. i love this stuff.

Eye Makeup Remover -Neutrogena - Oil Free eye makeup remover
sweetpea1283 12/25/2005 2:11:00 AM
Just adding one more positive response, this is very similar to the purple clinique and the blue lancome removers with the 2 liquids you shake together- a teeny greasy but doesn't irritate my contacts and this is sooooo cheap and does just as great of a job as the expensive kinds.

Treatments -Neutrogena - On the Spot Acne Treatment Vanishing Formula
sweetpea1283 8/13/2005 3:04:00 PM
For very sensitive skin- this is an HG. However I think they should not market it as "on-the-spot" - and market it as a preventative. My skin is always clear if I am religious about applying this. I only need it on and around my nose and the area by my cheekbones. (Aka my breakout zones.) Use it every night on the area of your face that ever breaks out. It is a FANTASTIC preventor. I can't emphasize this enough. Keep up with it, its not overnight success necessarily but over the course of months you will just one day wake up and notice you don't break out anymore. Note- for HORMONAL zits... yes the monthly bane of my existance!!!!! THIS PREVENTS THEM! Its a miracle, the annoyance of scarring and recurrance... ok i know people have real acne and i shouldn't complain. BUT i get a huge huge huge cyst pimple... it looks like a little mini tumor bump literally. its not able to be concealed because its 3d.... ugly. Anyways. When I'm religious about this stuff it prevents them! Yayayayayay! And last note, i read some study that BP is just as effective as prescription stuff in the long term use studies, and much better for sensitive skin. I just feel like everybody keeps reinventing the wheel to figure out what works, and I wish somebody told me about this sooner! So please if I can help even one person with sensitive skin out, use this and a gentle cleanser (i.e. i use a plain one from chanel, or you could use prob like olay or something) and if necessary a lotion (i skip this because i use laura mercier tinted moisturizer...) and your skin will thank you. the less you fight your skin the better it will look, ok - stepping off my little soapbox - hope this rambling helps someone! :)

Eyes -Make Up For Ever - Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil
sweetpea1283 7/25/2005 3:24:00 PM
I get bad "racoon eye" from almost all eyeliners or mascara. I literally can't put liner on the bottom or else it smears within an hour. BUT this one is the exception. Its expensive but worth it... it will wear off and need reapplication sometimes if i wear it all day, but it NEVER smears. (If you're looking for a good mascara that doesn't smear to go with it, go for YSL thickening mascara.)

Bronzers -Yves Saint Laurent - sun booster tinted gel - gel eclat d-ete preparateur de Bronzage - spf 10
sweetpea1283 7/22/2005 4:03:00 PM
Great over my Laura Mercier tinted mositurizer. Just these 2 products and my face is done and perfect looking, and not made up looking at all. Has a little shimmer but nothing bling bling - very day wearable. Not greasy, very very nice. Expensive seeming but its so concentrated, you only use a drop. Seems like it will last forever.

great formula, great brush, great scent, great packaging, great great great, great! i've converted my sister, mom, and best friend to this one, and they were all hardcore fans of their old formulas (diorshow, shiseido, lancome) and now they're on my bandwagon :)

I have the mother of racoon eyes. Maybe my eyes just get teary a little bit? Maybe I have a greasy eye area? Who knows... but this stuff does not budge. It sometimes wears off and I have to reapply halfway thru the day, but it does not do racoon eyes...so rare for me! I approve! ps--- i am reviewing the waterproof eye pencil in black

Tinted Moisturizer -Laura Mercier - Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20
sweetpea1283 7/22/2005 3:36:00 PM
The packaging is nice, you can literally use up to the last drop... which I do every time I've repurchased, because let me tell you after years of experimenting, this is my HG. I use this with Chantecaille (talc free) loose powder... and I can't tell you the number of times I've gotten compliments on how perfect my skin is and how it "glows"... its fantastic :) It's a little pricey but lasts a while, and who cares, think of it as an investment if you have to, just try it and you'll find a way to justify the magic stuff that makes your skin look perfect!

Loose Powders -Chantecaille - Loose powder
sweetpea1283 2/5/2004 1:49:00 AM
Talc free and makes my skin look perfect. I use it over CG trublend makeup. I have it in Subtle which is kind of like NC20-30 in mac. Comes with a gorgeous puff. If you're dealing with spillage issues just keep the original box and store it in there. I love this stuff and i'll buy it forever.

i can't believe i haven't reviewed this, seeing as i'm obsessed with it! if you can't justify $15.50 for a nail polish, think of it as a "buy one get 50 free deal" because you'll look like you have a professional manicure every time you use this. its that gorgeous. in my own little opinion :)
