Treatments -Serious Skin Care - Inst-A-Tox serum

Does do a damned thing for me and I followed the instructions to the letter. What a waste of $30. Btw, I have normal-dry skin with enlarged pores in t-zone and undereye circles and very few lines (so far) but it did nothing than feel like dried egg white on my skin.

Holy grail material my ladies! The loose is great too but go easy on it.

Save your money ladies. I had high hopes but not the results as far as skin discolorations and darkness coverage.

Worthless, I would get better coverage and attraction just using vaseline on my lashes.

Ugh, so much hype so little results. I may as well have not had anything on my lashes with 2 coats of the primer and 3 of the pigment. Save your $ and buy Smashbox or Origins

Treatments -Estee Lauder - Advanced Night Repair (Serum)

I adore both this and the eye intensive cream. I swear by them actually. I was blessed with good skin with the exception of large pores and undereye circles. So far I'm looking pretty good with only a nose to mouth line that I am attempting to eliminate.

I have used this for years and while I was blessed with good skin, other than large pores and dark undereye circles, I have no wrinkles or other signs of aging. I'm soon to be 37 with normal skin

Lip Gloss -Bare Escentuals - lip gloss

I would only re-purchase this in Wearable Wine but you can get very similar to this shade if you purchase Clinique Black Honey gloss, this just lasts a tiny bit longer on your lips.

This and Bronzeberry are gorgeous shades! Instant and lasting glamour! Rose gold is just the shade it describes. I'm completely amazed at these glosses.

Lip Gloss -Wet 'n' Wild - MegaSlicks Lip Gloss in #568 Bronze Berry
rated 4 of 5

I love Wet 'n Wild lipglosses though the smell takes a little getting used to as it smells a bit grape-y to me. The longevity of wear is most amazing and well, wow! There is always a tube of this and Rose Gold in my bag.

Mascara -Max Factor - Lash Lift Mascara

This is quite good. Very little if any smudging. It delivers good pigment and lift though I still curl my lashes beforehand. I belive I will re-purchase this one.

Lip Gloss -Hard Candy - Lip Sorbet in Raspberry
rated 3 of 5
Penguin 3/11/2005 12:20:00 AM

The color is beautiful but I don't care for the heaviness and the minty feel and scent. Unfortunately, this wasn't for me. Now if only I could find the color in a lighter formula...ah the search goes on.

Eye Shadow -Almay - Intense i-color powder shadow-Trio for Greens
rated 4 of 5
Penguin 3/11/2005 12:18:00 AM

I would actually re-purchase this and I have very dark brown eyes. Of course it helped using the UD Primer Potion but it lasted all day w/o touchups

Eye Shadow -Almay - Intense i-Color powder shadow Trio for Browns
rated 3 of 5
Penguin 3/9/2005 10:12:00 PM

Not bad but not what I expected. Not much pigment at all and I felt like I really had to dig into the lavender and cream shades and had to do a lot of layers (even over UD Potion primer) but I'll use it from time to time
