Lipstick -NARS - Lipstick in Dolce Vita

This is my new HG lipstick!! It is a beautiful natural shade, just like the color of your lips when you bite them, for medium to olive skin tones. Lovely!

Shampoo -Alterna - White Truffle Shampoo

I like this shampoo, as compared to drugstore brands it leaves the hair much softer and doesn't have the sulfates that strip the hair. I noticed a difference from using it in the softness and silkiness. Fortunately picked it up on sale as it is terribly expensive. Try ebay!

Blush -Anna Sui - Face Color

Very cute packaging and nice product. I have no. 303 and it looks natural and pretty on, like a real flush, but the quality is still not as good as NARS blush. Plus the other colors look too bright. Will not repurchase.

My HG hand cream. Smells and feels wonderful, absorbs quickly and you get a huge jar.

Treatments -Mario Badescu - Drying Lotion

Umm, IMO this is a miracle worker. I put it on a zit at night, and it is noticeably cleared up in the morning. Works on your average zit, not cystic acne. Packaging is terrible though b/c it is hard to get your q-tip to the bottom, so decant is a must when you are running toward the end of the product. This is my HG zit cream.

Moisturizers -La Mer - Creme de la mer moisturizer
rated 4 of 5

I love this product! Used under the eyes it does better than any eye cream I have tried. Makes skin appear very fresh and youthful. Haven't tried yet on rest of my face b/c it is very heavy and should only be used on dry areas.

Powder -Sheer Cover - Sheer Cover - Mineral Foundation
rated 3 of 5
Cakilg 9/19/2005 9:41:00 PM

This is very full coverage, surprising for a powder. Kind of difficult to apply, and you have to mix to get the right shade. That having been said, it is good for an evening when you want to look polished, but not very natural looking for every day IMO. Expensive for the tiny amount of product you get.

Masks -Clarins - Normalizing Facial Mask
rated 4 of 5
Cakilg 9/18/2005 6:43:00 PM

This is a very drying mask, so use it only on problem areas. Can see a big difference as it completely clears out blackheads.

Masks -The Body Shop - Warming Mineral Mask
rated 3 of 5
Cakilg 9/18/2005 6:39:00 PM

This mask feels good because of the heating effect. But it didn't get rid of blackheads like the Clarin's normalizing mask. It also doesn't dry.

I love this mask. It is actually a scrub and good for oily skin.

Treatments -Philosophy - Resurface Kit - The Microdelivery In-Home Vitamin C Peptide Peel
rated 5 of 5
Cakilg 9/17/2005 12:52:00 AM

HG alert! This is equivalent to the results of a salon peel. It is definitely worth the money and I see a difference in the texture and tone of my skin after just one use. It looks younger and fresher.

Don't waste your money on these, as they do absolutely nothing. You would be just as well of keeping a teaspoon in the fridge.

Used a sample size and this and thankfully I didn't waste my money on it b/c it is really nothing special!

Lipstick -Christian Dior - Dior Addict Ultra-Shine Sheer Lipcolor in 650- Shiniest Red
rated 5 of 5
Cakilg 9/15/2005 10:47:00 AM

This lipstick really isn't red, don't know why they named it that. It is a very natural, pretty pink. A beautiful color and very subtle which will work with any skin tone. Nice creamy formulation, and not as oily as others (like Clinique). Beautiful packaging, definitely worth the money for a high-end lipstick.
