Fragrances -Avon - Step Into Sexy
LOREBUNDE 3/21/2013 1:43:00 PM
I received this as part of a fragrance set from Avon featuring 12 ( ?) spray samples and then I get to pick a free bottle of my choice what I liked best. I tried this scent today and was surprised, thought very pretty! Put on again before lunch and couldn't stop smelling it. However I am now back from lunch and can no longer smell. Very pretty but doesn't last at all. I'l keep trying the other ones.

Treatments (Eye) -La Mer - Eye Concentrate
LOREBUNDE 12/12/2012 3:10:00 PM
I received a deluxe sample of this when ordering CDLM Foundation. Maybe I put a little too much on or maybe should skip under brow area? Anyway, I woke up to have both eyes sagging lids. Usually I do have one eye that is a little saggy but woke up w/both very saggy lids, not cool! I probably will try now and then, just using under the eye very sparingly and will update.

Treatments -Ojon - rare blend oil total hair therapy
LOREBUNDE 11/29/2012 8:29:00 AM
Splurged on this while on vacation and at Sephora. Got this for my daughter who has med length curly, hair. I thought a lot of $$ at the time but the bottle lasted 4 months so not bad considering that. I have noticed that suddenly her hair seems so much longer....wondering if the oil had an effect because her hair grew so much in just these past months. I am definatly getting another bottle for that reason alone.

Lip Treatments -Fresh - Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15
LOREBUNDE 11/11/2012 5:00:00 PM
Rec'd. from Sephora bday gift. It wouldn't be something I would purchase myself, just thought another clear lip balm. I already have a bunch of cheapies that I use before going to bed. This, however, was different. At first I didn't like the packaging and almost broke it thinking it just pulled off. I do like the fact that the cover screws on though as most lipsticks/balms do not. This really makes my lips glossy, soft and I find it has staying power. I have no idea what this costs to purchase but I may look into it as it is different than other lip balms that I have tried.

Purchased a mini bottle of this which came with three other colors in the Germany Collection. I thought this was going to be boring but it is my new neutral.. I use three coats and love the nude color.

Lipstick -Avon - Sparkling Rich Ruby
LOREBUNDE 11/3/2011 2:00:00 PM
Purchased this for my mother (stocking stuffer) but ended up opening and using. Very pretty color! The name sounds like its really red but it isn't on me at all. More of a pinky/red light going on with a touch of shimmer. Glad I tried it

Moisturizers -Peter Thomas Roth - Un-Wrinkle Makeup-Less SPF 30 Tinted Moisturizer
LOREBUNDE 10/11/2011 10:07:00 AM
Won this from Allure contest. Surprised when I found out $48 price. Anyway, I agree - suits all skin colors. Looked fine on me, though very sheer, and fine on my daughters darker skin color. Did not make me break out. Now that I've used it for a while, however, I realize I would like more coverage. Looks better with face powder. I guess for a tinted moisterizer I'll give it a good rating.

Treatments (Eye) -Shiseido - Benefiance Revitalizing Eye Cream [DISCONTINUED]
LOREBUNDE 6/9/2011 11:37:00 AM
Purchased this while on vacation at Sephora. Was originally going to get Dior 60/80 but SA talked me into this. A lot cheaper than the Dior and I've been noticing a difference. Only been using about 6 weeks, not sure if I'll purchase again but for the price it works very well (compared to $80 for the dior)

Conditioner -Nexxus - Pro Mend Split End Binding Daily Conditioner
LOREBUNDE 6/9/2011 11:29:00 AM
wow, very surprised by the negative reviews. I received a sample of this and what a difference it made in my hair. Before, I noticed my usually smooth hair getting frizzy (maybe product build-up?). I used the shampoo and conditioner and hair so easy to comb out and left feeling very silky, smooth. Also rec'd. a coupon for next bottle and was going to purchase I liked it so much!

Treatments -Philosophy - Miracle Worker Miraculous Anti-Aging Concentrate
LOREBUNDE 5/10/2011 9:08:00 AM
I had never really tried any Philosophy products for some reason but went shopping at Sephora to splurge on a few new things and ended up getting the Miracle Worker kit which includes the pads, serum and moisterizer. I originally went to pick up the Microdermabrasion kit which I had read good things about but the SA helped me pick up this kit which actually was a better deal than purchasing separately. Anyway, I've been using about 3 weeks and I am very pleased with the results. I had not been using any anti-aging products to date as my skin is sensitive. I stick to basics, cleaning, weekly exfolitating, sunscreen. My skin before was not bad but at the age of 51 there are some slight lines on forehead, a couple of sun spots that drive me crazy. Since using the 3 products nightly, I think my skin is definately brighter, toned - not sure exactly what it is but looks healthier. The sunspots have faded somewhat also. Also, the lines on my forehead have lessened a LOT! I have not broken out at all with this. Using Olay Complete for sensitive skin spf during the day and this is working well together. I will try to remember to update when I am finished. If I still like this I will most likely repurchase. I now would like to try some other Philosophy products too! UPDATE: 11/3/11 Well I've finished the moisterizer and pads and just have been using the serum. I have repurchased the whole kit again at the $110 price @ Ulta. I noticed my spots have faded, some gone. Skin is glowing. Can't wait to try some other Philosophy products

Blush -MAC - Mineralize Blush - Warm Soul
LOREBUNDE 4/28/2011 9:38:00 AM
Just purchased this last week - my first Mac Blush. It was so hard to choose what color but this seemed like it was a natural color, slightly shimmery. I am very happy with it. Give me a tawny, peachy glow and I am able to build up the color. Would like to try other colors of Mac blush now!

Moisturizers -Olay - Age Defying Intensive Nourishing Night Cream [DISCONTINUED]
LOREBUNDE 4/1/2011 11:37:00 AM
Purchased this as the price was cheap and Olay seems to be a pretty decent brand. Had to idea what one to pick. I have sensitive skin so didn't want to purchase anything too fancy. I have no problem with this...goes on smoothly, no breakouts and my face does seem rested/glowing in the morning. A nice, decent, basic night cream, imo.

Top/Base Coats -Sephora - Sephora by OPI Top Coat
LOREBUNDE 3/29/2011 3:11:00 PM
Wow, glad to see I'm not the only one with a neg review about this. First I noticed my manicure did not last more then two days. I just thought maybe I used my hands more than I thought I did, but found it strange. Second manicure used over OPI polish. Again, two days later chipping and when I woke up all smudged. I had put this top coat on hours before going to sleep. I've used other topcoats and let dry in less time with no smudging. I knew I should of splurged and got the Chanel one!

Polishes -Essie - In Stitches
LOREBUNDE 3/23/2011 8:46:00 AM
I really like this color. I know a lot of reviews mention this for the Winter but to me it's a year round color and I think would go with basicallly all skin colors. It's kind of a coral/pink color. Very pretty, different from what I usually wear.

Fragrances -Avon - Hervé Léger Femme (2010)
LOREBUNDE 1/14/2011 3:26:00 PM
Love this scent! I haven't used Avons fragrance in years but read the 2 reviews here and figurered I'd give it a shot. I'm not one to know what notes are in a perfume. All I know is I've been using this daily and it is a very pretty scent.
