Lipstick -Revlon - Colorstay Overtime Lipcolor
Elwing 10/23/2004 11:10:00 AM
Lasted trough a quarterpounder meal, an icecream and two toothbrushing sessions. I'm starting to wonder if it will ever come off? You have to hand it to Revlon for keeping their promise. I have the color endless spice, which is nice for everyday wear. The only reason why this does not get the maximum score is the strange gritty texture it gets after a few hours of wear.

Mascara -Nivea - Lash Revoulution
Elwing 10/23/2004 10:50:00 AM
Oh! I like this one. It keeps the lashes nicely separated and gives a natural look. No clumps and bumps. Of course, if you are looking for the "Tammy Faye" look this is not the one to go with...

Self Tanners -L'Oreal - Sublime Bronze
Elwing 10/23/2004 10:26:00 AM
I had the spray can version of this product. Which works quite well at first, but after half a day breaks me out in a red and horribly itchy rash that literally lasts for days. Now that's something I had never happen to me before. On the positive side, L'oreal reacted adequately on my complaint and refunded my money immediately. So they get an extra lippie for their customer support!

My everyday perfume for the last two years. Nice fresh scent, good for day wear I think, inoffensive in a good way. I was the lovely bottle that got me into it in the first place.

my mom has worn this since I was a child, and I will always love it by association. Maybe some day I will pick it up for myself; great timeless fresh summer scent.

Liquorice! Being Dutch and a liquorice junkie like only Dutch can be there is no resisting it. And you have to love the whimsical bottle. Got a sample now, but I guess I will have to buy it...

Fragrances -Guerlain - Mitsouko

Not for me. I know it's a real classic, but it won't work with my subconcious or body chemistry or something. Mould? I don't know, but I can't stand it. Sorry! One extra lippy because of the nice bottle, the history and very recognizable scent.

Fragrances -The Body Shop - Pink Pepper edp
Elwing 10/23/2004 5:41:00 AM
Actually, there is such a thing as pink pepper, and this defenitely smells like it. Also,cardamom, ginger, sandalwood and all kinds of other oriental spicyness. Makes me hungry for tandoori, and I think that's a good thing. Very original!

this was a complete disaster combined with Estée Lauder's Ideal Matte foundation; I shone like a christmas bauble. It was embarassing. Not for me!

I'm a little dissapointed in this one..I found the primer hard to apply. I get too much on, and then my lashes clump together all over the place.

Moisturizers -La Roche Posay - Hydraphase light texture
Elwing 10/23/2004 5:30:00 AM
My doctor recommended this one a couple of years ago when I suffered a bad bout of acne. It is indeed very gentle on my skin, and it hydrates somewhat. However it is too light to do much. After that I got older and my skin got less greasy, and now I think it really is too light. So, exellent product, when used on the right type of skin.

Moisturizers -Biotherm - Biopur Matte Hydrating Fluid
Elwing 10/23/2004 5:26:00 AM
It doesn't do any damage, keeps my foundation on, and mattifies. So that's pretty much what I expected from it. Still, I have this nagging feeling that the sample of Lancôme Pure Focus I tried recently did a slightly better job on the mattifying. I will have to try that one next time.

Liquid -Estee Lauder - Ideal Matte

a revelation. easy to apply, stays on, looks natural, feels great. Pricey, but the trick is using as little as possible. I'm prone to the occasional spot, but this does not make them worse, in fact, I think my skin has gotten better lately. Worth the money!
