THis DOES prevent and minimalize breakouts! While honestly speaking I still have a few red bumps here and there, this is THE ONLY thing that has actually been effective for me, and I have been using this for over a year, although negligently. But when I DO use it, my breakouts are near zilch- guess I should use this every single day, but I am afraid my skin drying out- a small problem that can be remedied with lotion.

Mascara -Jane - Clear Mascara

VERY VERY WEAK HOLD!
I have very thin eyelashes, and this did not make ANY difference in my eyes!
Furthermore, all clear mascaras double as an eyebrow tamer. This was way too weak for my eyebrows. This is definitely not worth it, IMHO.
I love Jane's products, and this is porbably the only one I will never again purchase.

Fragrances -Comptoir Sud Pacifique - Vanille Abricot

Aw... I might wear this if it had much sex appeal, but when I asked my guy friends what they thought about it, they replied "NO, it definitely doesn't smell sexy. smells more like the kitchen, and I wouldn't go for a girl who smells like this." All of my 6 guy friends agreed with that. Yes, it was a bit TOO strong and heavy. Out of the 4 million vanilla perfumes out there in this world, I smelled many just like this. What made me think a guy could tell the difference? Hehe, even my brother says the perfume has no sex-appeal.

Blush -L'Oreal - Blush Delice

If I could do a television commercial on this, without being paid, I DEFINITELY would!
After seeing pictures of this blush in Allure, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, I asked around the boards "how's L'Oreal's Blush Delice?" over and over (I am sorry for that) and I finally received some tempting, interesting feedback about it. I finally went out to purchase this blush ($7.00 about) and was put off by that price, but decided to buy it, since that blush had the cutest design, packaging, and container I had ever seen in my life.
I bought "Strawberry Tart" because I have very fair skin. I read on the boards it is similar to Nars Desire or MAC Pink Swoon blush (hot pink in the container, natural flush on the cheeks).
What a "poetically beautiful" shimmery, silvery, natural flush this puts on my cheeks! The color DOES last, and several people have noticed the silvery flushy, blushy shimmer on my cheeks! click here to see the details.
The part that makes me squeal is the "fruit sorbet" smell of the blush, which is VERY faint for those of you wary people. Give this blush a try! Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Fragrances -Fresh - Sugar EDP I guess - another love it or hate it perfume. I love the scent. It took me a while to try it because saw posts that it smells like Pledge lemon cleaner. I hate to confess it, but it does smell exactly like Pledge to me, even when I put it on. It has very short lasting power, but has a very very "clean smell" (is it b/c of the Pledge association?) (Although I dont' have the full size) Seeing such different views on this scent, my advice would be to try a sample before you buy! Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Lip Gloss -Naturistics - Miss Kiss Lip Gloss Pen I agree with the MUAer below. after 54 clicks or so, i finally accessed the product. I love Baby Doll! and Sweet tart, they last just as long as the Stila glazes. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Fragrances -Thierry Mugler - Angel Uh oh, this is a MAJOR boy-magnet perfume! What's in this that makes all the guys like it? I sprayed it on my wrist and my guy friend was like "I can't get enough of that smell! must get it for my girlfriend!" LOL! Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Lip Gloss -Bonne Bell - Lip Smackers I have this in Strawberry Cheesecake, and I wish it weren't a lip balm! Because I keep on licking my licks to eat it! Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Lip Gloss -Urban Decay - Lip Gunk [DISCONTINUED] This is competing with MAC, and I personally favor these a little bit more! They last just as long as MAC, if not LONGER, and they are pure silk in texture on the lips. Also, they come in the best flavors. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Blush -NARS - Orgasm Blush A large part of this product has to do with the name only. Also, I bought a peach drugstore blush, sprinkled Jane's Goldie Looks (gold shimmer) eyezing on it, and I had the exact same effect- it lasted all day long too, plus, it was more fun mixing my own blush. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Blush -BeneFit Cosmetics - Benetint every time I go out to the mall and try this on (i have white white white skin, really really pale) my guy friends never believe I'm wearing makeup- they always think I have a natural blush, and say "Josie your cheeks are so cute!" If only I had the money and the guts to buy it for 26 dollars! Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Eye Shadow -Jane - Eye Zings Like just about everyone else, I think these are a DREAM! I am a little scared about trying new colors, so I have stuck to the basic browns and pales with these so far. I LOVE the Magical Mushroom (I received it from a fantastic swapper, you know who you are) and also the Mythology. Rock Star is great as a wash of color over the lower half of the lid, and is filled with gold shimmer. They last forever. I love the magical Mushroom! Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Lip Treatments -Burt's Bees - Beeswax Lip Balm My friend purchased a tin of this for me. bless her heart, but I found this product to be not worth the money at all. I gave it away immediately to my cousin. I wouldn't want my lips to wrinkle in the future, so I use a different lip product. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No
