Mascara -Maybelline - The Rocket Volume Express
BeautBetty 5/2/2013 6:58:00 PM
Wet, inky and it's not volumizing but it is lengthening. It clumps a little bit but nothing you cannot brush out. If you are fortunate to have long lashes, they will touch your eyelid afterwards Wand is similar to other of their items that have a thick tube, so there's not much new there. Plastic wand and brush. The wand is not as thick as Cover Girl's lush blast but the brush is quite similar, barely mm apart. Do you need it? Must have? No. Want to try it, yes go ahead

Foundations -Wet 'n' Wild - Coverall Cream Foundation
BeautBetty 4/10/2013 9:04:00 PM
Not as good as Colorstay as another member mentioned. I think it's good for travel It goes on a little tacky but then it dries up and the tackines goes away. I purchased the color Light and I am thinking of getting the fair for me. BUT it DOES NOT oxidize. The powder did a very good job also Cannot beat the price and definitely the quality for the price is very good Update 5/2/13. Fair is just too masky white. Returned. Still no oxidize

Liquid -Rimmel - Match Perfection
BeautBetty 3/25/2013 1:54:00 AM
Matte. Medium coverage Lasts about 5 hrs with powder. Inexpensive Bottle without pump does not bother me-my hands are clean. Keep the lid closed well and clean the outside with cotton pad with alcohol. I've never had a problem with this type of bottle. I think this one of the better Rimmel foundations.

Loose Powders -FLOWER Beauty - Powder Up Loose Powder shade L01
BeautBetty 2/19/2013 6:45:00 PM
package is divine, elegant and sturdy looking. Beautiful STOP very little product I bought the L01, which looked more like a bronzer. Never have seen anything like this before Put it on and my face turned orange, oxidized, whatever you want to call it-not translucent. Use another product to set the foundation I used L03 in foundation which is really not too dark-the foundation shades are quite light and yellow toned Forget the name, the packaging, skip it all together, not worth 9.98usd

Mascara -Cover Girl - Natureluxe mousse mascara
BeautBetty 1/5/2013 8:17:00 PM
This is the ONLY product I liked from the Naturelux line by Cover Girl. To me, it's as good as the Maybelline full and soft lashes and other Cover Girl mascaras-superthick lash and lash perfection. Natural, great cover, great for everyday. I went to Walgreens and noticed it was 1/2 priced so maybe it's being discontinued? And you can't buy mascara ahead of time because it dries I can't understand marketing people!!! Maybe they thought it was being duplicated?!

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast Clump Crusher mascara
BeautBetty 1/5/2013 8:09:00 PM
I guess this good. I like all the Cover Girl Lash Blast Line-I have the orange tube and the 1/2 pink and orange tube-just equally as good. It is watery. Wand and brush a little thiner than the other ones but it does what it says it does. you have to dry in between coats I don't believe it gives you as much volume But I would buy again

Cleansers -La Roche Posay - physiological micellar solution
BeautBetty 12/29/2012 6:07:00 PM
I bought this after hearing all the good things about micellar solutions. I bought it in a USA drugstore called USA. I paid 21.00usd for 200ml or 6.76 oz It did not remove my eyemakeup completely. Had to go back to the L'oreal one or the Maybelline , Almay or simply cold cream. As for removing makeup on the face, I think it does a fair job when used on normal? skin or dry skin. It does not strip. For oily skin, the face did not appeared cleaned, not red or ilrritated but unclean???? However, I think it's a fantastic product, less expensive than other brands (Lancome had one now that is outrageous, it comes in a sprau). For daily use, it would become expensive, unless you are ok with that AND, today, after I colored my hair, I used it to wipe the spots on the forehead, neck and guess what? works PERFECT, I mean perfect and it was not irritating. So I will save it for this and other occassional uses but not for everyday

Fragrances -Bath and Body Works - Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin
BeautBetty 10/1/2012 2:39:00 PM
The bottle I bought last week is different than that in the picture. I always buy this when it comes out in the fall. I bought the shower (great) and the body lotion (great) also. I LOVE IT. Use till the end all the time. I smell cinnamon and clove, not the vanilla. Staying powder ON ME is very little so I'm free to spray as much as I want. Use after shower and it's gone right away but it does make me feel fresh in an autumn way ( evn though right now it's ove 80degrees in Southern California. I also spray around my pillow and ahhhhhh smells nice

Fragrances -Estee Lauder - Youth Dew
BeautBetty 10/1/2012 2:30:00 PM
I also hate when people spray this very strong formula on; you need to be close to the air conditioner!. But I wouldn't want EL to come up with a fresher one to sell to the younger crowd. BUT, the oil is amazing. I bought mine at an estate sale. Use dab behind ears, elbows and the wrists All fragances like this will smell strong-similar to Opium or Calix, Carolina Herrera I read somewhere that Estee Lauder would spray a fragance into the room and then walk through it. Whether she did or not, I think it would definitely work for this Just keep it light. Use a cotton ball to spray and then put on. Again! it is not Bath and Body Works stuff, which some I adore, they are gone by the time you leave the house more for a special evening, a "don't forget me date" essence. NOT for work. and more likely will appear to older and not younger ladies-but there's a fragance out there for those and everyone in between

Treatments -Garnier - Dark Spot Treatment
BeautBetty 8/24/2012 10:56:00 PM
I believe that Garnier may brought up a new and improved version of this. My review is for the original Clinical Dark Spot Corrector. I gave it a 5 in package quality because it is well packaged - metal squeeze tube, pointy applicator. That's where it stops. it did not work for any spot on the face. So I started it to use it on my hads for age spots-nothing So then I used it on the decotellage; the oxidation transferred to an ugly yellow unto my bra. I will be washing this weekend-let's see. I'm going to try ammonia first. It stinks. The vitamin C that was used smells ok on the package, it stinks when you rub it on. I thought it was expensive relative to the effectiveness, the reason for the "4" So I will keep using on my hands till gone (about a 1/4 tube). I will not repurchase it or any other replacement by Garnier
