Mascara -Bourjois - Volume Clubbing
LauriD 7/2/2010 6:14:00 PM
Bourjois Volume Clubbing Mascara... Where have you been all my life?! It is everything that I've ever wanted in a mascara. My lashes look long, luscious and black black black!! It goes on in a flash - least effort ever - take a little longer to dry - but worth the wait - and stays put better that any other mascara I've tried. I LOVE IT!!... HG

Lip Treatments -DuWop - Prime Venom
LauriD 2/2/2010 11:22:00 AM
I have the Tinted Prime Venom in Tango and I love it. On days when my lips are very dry, I use it over Environ C-Quence Lip Balm... when my lips aren't mega dry, I find Prime Venom to be perfectly nourishing. It has a slight plumping effect even if I use it over my lip balm. The colour looks very natural... like a blush. I have worn it everyday for about 4 months now... it goes everywhere with me.

Polishes -OPI - Goldilocks Rocks
LauriD 6/6/2009 11:19:00 AM
I love this layered over pretty much every colour I own! A few of my particular favourites are over My Private Jet - makes a gorgeous Bronze colour Conga-Line Coral - takes the coral slightly more Orangey and gives a pretty sparkle. Redipus-Oedipus - creates a warm sparkly Coral. Melody In Mocha - creates a warm rich Gold. Like I say, it looks great on pretty much anything. IMO it's a bit blah on it's own.

Lipstick -Maybelline - Superstay lipcolor
LauriD 4/15/2009 4:37:00 AM
This is the best long wear lip colour that I have tried so far. I have it in 340 Absolute Plum. It is the new dual ended 18 hr version. I applied to clean dry lips, left to dry for a couple of minutes and then applied the conditioning balm. I love this product on so many levels. It goes on easily Is weightless... well, I can forget it's there, unlike many others I've tried. The conditioning balm makes your lips SO soft and smooth. It REALLY stays on for hours and hours and hours. Oh yeah, and it smells of berries! A brilliant product.

Polishes -OPI - Little Red Wagon
LauriD 4/14/2009 2:16:00 PM
I bought a bunch of different red cream shades in the build up to this years first Int'l nail comp in the UK..... This was my fave of the bunch. I usually use Wildfire by CND for comps - which I still love - but this seemed to dry quicker and therefore found its self in my comp kit. A beautiful red cream. I have added a pic. I came 2nd in my cat btw :)

Eyeliner -Bobbi Brown - Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Graphite Shimmer Ink
LauriD 2/17/2009 12:25:00 PM
I love this product. The colour is perfect for me. For a day time look I place this right along my lash line..... makes my lashes look thicker, without looking like I am wearing a liner. It goes on a dream and most importantly - it stays put!

Gels/Soaps -L'Occitane - Grape Seed Shower Oil
LauriD 1/6/2009 7:23:00 AM
I love using this product. My skin feels fresh, clean and never tight. I love using it instead of a foam/gel when I shave my legs. The blade seems to cause less irritation and my skin feels extra silky. I LOVE the smell. So fresh and clean. A little goes a long way in my experience. I use it on the kids too... ages 8 and 4 - they think it smells like Vimto, so it makes the whole shower experience much more enjoyable for them..... which is great for me! My eldest son and I have dry skin so we moisturise after (usually Liz Earle's Botanical Body Cream). My OH and youngest son have normal skin - they don't usually need extra moisturiser.

Fragrances -Keiko Mecheri - Loukhoum

I ordered this perfume based on the reviews that I have found on here and elsewhere.... It is not easily available in the UK, so no opportunity to test beforehand. So I ordered it and then spent 9 days waiting for it to arrive (Christmas post!) panicking more and more that I had probably just made an expensive mistake. On the 9th day I arrived home to find it packaged on my doorstep. I unwrapped it and spritzed it on and - uh oh! Hmm, not too sure about this one. I had powdery - good, but maybe too powdery. No real sweet scents, it was actually quite spicey... not really my cuppa tea! I asked my husband if he liked it and he said not really..... not good, not good!! I didn't give me a headache though.... which was great as I knew I could give it a fair trial over a few days. So I tried it again the next day.... Mmm actually, this is quite nice. It seemed sweeter and warmer. I could smell the warm sweetness of the almond. The spicey notes that I hadn't liked from the day before were now a warm vanilla. There was also a delicate rose scent and less powder. Phew, this seems better. Maybe the fact that the perfume had been in transit and the contents were really cold had effected the way that they smelled on the first day? Anyway, by day three I was in love with this perfume. It smells exactly how I imagine I should smell! My husband snuggled up to me that night and commented on how nice my skin smelled..... and he has commented every snuggle since! I'm so happy I found this site.... without it I would never have found this perfume..... My HG - Keiko Mecheri, Loukhoum. I LOVE IT!

Moisturizers -Liz Earle - Liz Earle Skin Repair Dry Sensitive

I had previously given this range 5 lipsticks, but a few months on things have changed! Unfortunately after 5 weeks, I stopped using the Skin Repair moisturiser as my skin was becoming congested again..... even though I was following the routine religiously..... I thought it must have been the Skin Repair. I continued with the Cleanse & Polish and Tonic for another 8 weeks. More congestion. Hmmm! Ditched the C&P.... Picked up my old friend DHC... kept the LE Tonic (smells too good to ditch) Congestion gone..... problem solved.
