Fragrances -Frederic Malle - Carnal Flower
Clairis 2/1/2011 10:43:00 PM
Words can't even describe. But I'll try. I was at an event with Frederic Malle when I first smelled this (I asked him what he suggest I try first and he selected CF). So when the man himself suggests something for you, you spritz it! I didn't buy it on the spot because I wanted to test the staying power (and pay down my credit card a little before charging a $200 bottle of perfume) but after months of spraying myself every time I entered Barneys, I finally bit the bullet. Carnal Flower is a rose scent, but it's not the typical rose you image- it smells like you're surrounded by fresh-cut roses from a garden- its more the green stems than sweet petals, and it dries down to a musky creaminess. But while it is green and floral, I wouldn't consider it a floral scent or a green scent- it's not conventionally girly and sweet like most florals, and it's too complex to be a normal green scent. It's deeper. It smells different than anything I've ever smelled.

Eyeliner -LORAC - Front of the Line Waterproof Eyeliner

UNBELIEVABLE. I can't believe the low ratings! I have Front of the Line PRO- One tube has lasted me 7 months of daily cat-eye use- It's pitch black, and only one stroke is needed on each eye for the entire day. Super sharp lines, long-lasting gloriousness.

Hair -Unlisted Brand - Euronext Clip-in Hair Extensions

LOVE Euronext- Was nervous about buying perm extensions and was too afraid to just walk into a Sally and buy fake hair because I didn't know what I was looking for. A friend recommended Euronext- I bought the 18" Ashy Blonde and the blend perfectly! Love, love, love! Great quality, easy to style, easy to place and remove.

Concealers -BeneFit Cosmetics - Erase paste
Clairis 8/17/2008 10:59:00 PM
In LOVE with this stuff! I disagree with people who complain about the size of the jar- if you use a concealer brush, you're fine. My basic routine is moisturizer, Bare Minerals in medium tan, Erase Paste under my eyes and around my nose in any uneven areas, pat down and dust Too Faced bronzer over the top. It perfectly camouflages every discoloration (REALLY covers it up like a good paste should), I find it to be very light and airy, and it stays all day long. My new HG!

Cleansers -MAC - Makeup Remover Wipes
Clairis 5/26/2008 6:03:00 PM
Absolutely LOVE these- a pack lasts me months, I dont have to rinse or wash my face afterward, and it removes every trace of makeup. Best of all, it actually works as a cleanser- my face hasn't been this clear since I was 10!

Deodorants -Donna Karan - Cashmere Mist Deodorant
Clairis 6/9/2007 4:05:00 PM
I live in AZ where it gets to be like 120 in the summer- I'd never had a problem with sweating til I moved here. I'd tried prescription deodorant, men's deodorant, spray-on, that crystal thing, everything, but still was never really dry. My friend recommended it to me and said her guy friend who plays for the NBA even use it. I got it and am praying my body doesn't get used to it because it's amazing! You need only a small amount, it smells great, blends with perfume really well, and keeps me dry as a bone. I'd pay $50 for it if I had to!

Mascara -Maybelline - Volum Express Waterproof
Clairis 7/1/2005 2:02:00 AM
Most heinous experience ever- I don't know if I got a bad tube or something, but I put on like 2 coats and had horrible results. It was almost as if I had molasses or something gluing all of my lashes together into like 5 lashes, and even my remover didn't take it all off. I thought it'd be an OK substitute for the regular VE (They were out of it in black) but I hated it.
