Fragrances -Gendarme - Carriere
Blondie03 9/6/2004 1:35:00 PM
OMG!!! I am IN LOVE here! This is the "long-lasting" version of Amazing & Pure Grace mixed together to/on me, but a *tad* better (& I love AG & PG!) What a incredibly gorgeous soft, clean, fresh scent. This is going to be a HUGE keeper for me. BIG FAT RAVE!!! And DH is crazy about it too...so that will justify the price! :P Topper....this IS a winner!

Lipstick -Clinique - Long Last Lipstick - All Heart
Blondie03 9/6/2004 1:29:00 PM
Wow....this was a great surprise to me. I usually don't stop at the Clinique counter, but I was with a friend who loves their MU & I looked through the lipstick display & the MA suggested some colors, with All Heart being one of them. I am IN LOVE with this shade on me. I am blonde, with fair (Irish/Polish) skin & this color really warms-up my face & makes everything look "brighter!" This is a keeper for me & I am SO glad I tried it. It is a rosey, glossy color with just a tad of gold shimmer. Just gorgeous....in fact, in my opinion they should have named this one Just Gorgeous instead! :P ***RAVE***

Fragrances -Kai - Kai
Blondie03 8/24/2004 1:05:00 PM
At last, a gardenia scent I can truly wear without any problems! This is a very beautiful, soft scent & the dry-down is heavenly. The only reason I am not giving this a 5 is due to the fact that I am not a huge "gardenia" lover....but this makes me a convert for sure! ;) I can see why so many like it, it is very pretty & unique.

Fragrances -Clean - Sweet Layer
Blondie03 8/24/2004 1:00:00 PM
I would give this a 0 if I could. This is possibly WORSE than the original Clean. It smells like a "funky" lemon-lime soda smell. Just plain awful. I could not wash this off of my skin fast enough, thank goodness it was a sample! A bad car-freshner smell.....just awful.

This does NOT work with my body chemistry at all. No, no, no, it's not a good smell on me. Reminds me of how I smelled when I wore Bain De Soleil Orange Gelee' sunscreen. I did not like the smell of that, & I do not like the smell of this either! :(

Powder -Jane Iredale - Amazing Base Loose Finishing Powder
Blondie03 8/21/2004 6:14:00 PM
OK, I know this is a very pricey mineral foundation, but it IS worth it, big-time for me. I wear Satin & this is a great match for my skin-tone. I have experienced zero breakouts from this or any irritation. My skin actually looks clear & even-toned (which with my lovely Rosacea...is NOT!) I feel so confident & natural wearing this product, which makes it completely worth it for me. BIG, BIG rave!

Fragrances -Clean - Clean
Blondie03 8/20/2004 12:41:00 PM
Wow, this was a huge disappointment to me. It is not a "clean" scent at all on me. Kind of has a pungent scent to it. Something almost grapefruit-like, but in a very BAD way. I don't care how many "celebs" like this, it just stinks! :(

Fragrances -Philosophy - Pure Grace
Blondie03 8/20/2004 12:38:00 PM
Beautiful! I have & love Amazing Grace, and this "sister" fragrance is just as good. A gorgeous fresh-clean scent. Perfect for those with sensitive noses/allergy-prone. I am over-the-moon with this one!

Polishes -OPI - Bare It In Trafalgar Square
Blondie03 8/6/2004 3:47:00 PM
Big-fat YUCK! This is a very unflattering matte nude. Not a good shade at all, almost chalky on against the skin. Got this in a swap & was not wild about it at all! :(

Polishes -OPI - Taupe-less Showgirls
Blondie03 8/6/2004 3:45:00 PM
Love, love, love this color! :) It is a gold with a touch of light rose, VERY frosty (which I adore!) & very beautiful against tanned skin! This is a keeper.

Treatments (Eye) -MAC - Fast Response Eye Cream
Blondie03 7/5/2004 3:39:00 PM
This is a wonderful morning eye cream for me. Feels like silk, my concealer goes over it perfectly & my eye area just seems smoother when wearing this. It is a wonderful find for this 41 year young gal & I am SO glad to have this in my morning-arsenal. This is a must-have for me in the am, period!

Sunscreen -DDF - Organic Sunblock Spf 30 [DISCONTINUED]
Blondie03 7/5/2004 3:37:00 PM
This is bar-none my HG sunscreen! I have Rosacea & sunscreen is an absolute must for me. I had been recommended Cetaphil, Ombrelle & Purpose & been pretty faithful to all three. Then a lovely MUA'er turned me on to DDF Organic 30 (Lindylu!) with a very generous container. This is THE BEST for my sensitive skin. Great coverage, sinks in nicely & my JI loose goes over it beautifully. No irritation or breakouts from the product either. I am now a devotee! :) **RAVE**

Lip Gloss -MAC - Viva Glam V Lipglass
Blondie03 5/16/2004 4:38:00 PM
One word says it all, beautiful! And I am so glad this is a Viva Glam shade 'cause it is going to make a lot of money for charity! I just love this lipglass & it is a YLBB with shimmer. Just a tad lighter than Lovechild on me (which is another of my favorites!) I am SO glad I finally picked this baby up! :) RAVE

Scrubs -Mario Badescu - Almond & Honey Non-abrasive facial scrub
Blondie03 5/16/2004 4:31:00 PM
This was NOT a good idea with my rosacea, thank goodness it was a sample! I am sure this would be a great scrub for someone with less sensitive skin, except the there are some good-sized chunks of almond (is this the shell?) and I cannot see that being good for anyone's skin. Bad choice for me!
