Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast Waterproof
Corporate_Stooge 3/1/2010 8:16:00 PM
So far so good, the biggest thing is it holds a curl! That's a big deal for me I have blonde non-existent lashes. I just tried it today so I'll see how waterproof it is. But it's a DS mascara and to find a good one in today's economy is a good deal :-)

Lipstick -Maybelline - Volume Seduction Lipstick - In the Nude
Corporate_Stooge 11/7/2009 12:50:00 AM
Ladies these are on clearance at Walgreens right now for $2.19 so why not? I do the "smokey eye nude lip" thing and am always searching for h/g nude. My favorite ever was a Sephora brand lippie that of course they don't make any more but I never give up.

Foundations -Revlon - ColorStay Mineral Mousse Makeup
Corporate_Stooge 10/27/2009 10:09:00 PM
Not bad not great. I read in November Lucky magazine that this was a good matte foundation and I've sworn off h/e makeup (still a prisoner to h/e skincare, though LOL). I know Halle Berry does the ads and for a drugstore product it seems nice. I have a lot of sun damage from being young and sunbathing (13 years in Phoenix) so I need coverage but don't want anything mask-y. Will update when I've worn it all day to see how that goes.

Crème -Cover Girl - Simply Ageless
Corporate_Stooge 10/12/2009 8:27:00 PM
I guess the only thing that matters is that I buy this product over and over again. It's a no brainer when I need to put on foundation and a high spf sunscreen as a I am running out the door late for something as usual LOL. I destroyed my skin when I was young sun bathing so I need a little more coverage than most people. I dunno ya'll I just like it...update 02/06/10: bought it again for the same reasons listed above have to move the rating from 4 to 5 lippies for that :-)

Lipstick -Estee Lauder - All Day Lipstick Frosted Apricot
Corporate_Stooge 9/9/2009 12:57:00 AM
I used to love to get these in the EL bonuses until they stopped putting in this color and changed to others. but I never forgot this one. It's perfect for the beach now that I live in Hilton Head SC area. The tenacity seems pretty good and the pretty case reminds me of the one Marilyn Monroe had in the movie Niagra. Will purchase again.

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Parlux - Jessica Simpson Fancy
Corporate_Stooge 8/19/2009 10:17:00 PM
I use this as a room refresh spray. Sorry but to me it smells cheap, like the $14.99 I paid for a 1.7 oz eau de perfum bottle at TJ Maxx. Maybe I am just too old for it. I will stick to my Chanel #5 Eau Premiere. At least I never paid full price for it.

Treatments -Avalon Organics Botanicals - Vitamin C Vitality Facial Serum
Corporate_Stooge 8/2/2009 10:25:00 PM
Back about 10 years ago, Dior made a Vitamin C line that was excellent but they discontinued it (used to get it at Sephora). I've ruined my face by all the sun tanning I did as a youngster :-) I think is a marvelous bargain for the quality of product. I've tried Clinique Even Better-zip nada null set. This is my second bottle of this. I do endorse it. I got it for $17.99 at Publix. At WalMart ( who boasts the lowest prices) it sells for $22.99, so shop around.

Mascara -Maybelline - Pulse Perfection™ by Define-A-Lash® Vibrating Mascara ] ] [DISCONTINUED]
Corporate_Stooge 6/30/2009 3:50:00 PM
Such hubris it calls itself Perfection I am blonde blonde and have very sparse lashes this just clumps into a big clump. Does Wal Mart take things back? I know nicer places like Sephora and Nordstrom will. I took a nail polish back to Beauty Express and the witch there harassed me so bad I wrote an email to the company. I digress.. the mascara? maybe it will get better when it's not so fresh and wet but I must see the EL and Lancome versions...

Fragrances -Chanel - No 5 Eau Premiere
Corporate_Stooge 6/17/2009 3:59:00 PM
Let me let you know how big 5 ounces: is it's a lot! This is a big bottle and it's a good thing I like it. I used to use #5 and #22. This is like a bridge between them it's has a white quality that I like. Wish I knew more about it but it's great because we are just getting into the long hot and humid summer of the beach in South Carolina. So now that I can I am going to put this in the fridge so I can spritz myself before I leave:-)

Mascara -Clarins - Wonder Volume Mascara
Corporate_Stooge 3/3/2009 7:14:00 PM
Every time I break down and buy a h/e mascara I always regret it. Like now with this product. 1. it's not waterproof 2. doesn't hold a curl (like CG Lashblast) 3. it was $23.50 plus tax. That's what? three tubes of Lashblast?Can Nordie's take back a used product? I mean I had to use the mascara to decide it was (ahem) a ripoff. BAck to the d/s...
