great black polish. It takes about 3 coats to get a good, solid, glossy black, but its worth it because it lasts forever! I've had mine on for four days so far and hardly any chips, something I cannot say for my OPI black polish. I love it!

Lip Treatments -Merle Norman - Luxiva Lip Revive

The best stuff for flaky lips I have ever tried. This product is amazing - the only thing I have found that helps my flaky lips. Just put it on, wait a minute or so, put on my regular lip stuff and I'm good. Don't put lipstick on right after application though, it won't stick. Very expensive, but the only thing I've found that works so I would definitely repurchase. One tube has lasted me a long time though - you definitely do not need much for this stuff to work.

Lip Gloss -Prescriptives - Moonbeam Reflective Gloss - SuperNova 05
rated 4 of 5

Love this color. A pretty peachy shimmer when it first goes on. Unfortunately, the shimmer lasts but the color does not. I prefer to use it over other colors to amp them up a bit. Relaly lasts a long time and doesn't get too goopy over the course of the day. Not sticky either. The packaging would be fine if the silver top hadn't become unglued, leaving only a sticky white top underneath that is a annoyance to open. I would repurchase though because I wear it so often.

Polishes -OPI - Holiday in Toyland You're a Doll

This has been my staple color since I bought it last fall. A shimmery grey/lilac with copper-ish flecks in it. Sounds wierd, but it is really pretty and lasts a long time. I would repurchase if it wasn't a limited edition color.

Concealers -Prescriptives - Site Unseen Brightening Concealer
rated 4 of 5

I wear this in Level I Warm and I love it. It lasts all day, really gets rid of my dark circles and just brightens up my face. Not a huge fan of the packaging though - I can never tell how much is left and there is always either too much or too little on the brush. I do like the product inside the tube though so I will repurchase, even though the price is ridiculous.

too sweet for my tastes. After about 2 hours it smells better, but by 3 hours, it's gone. I like it but it's just way to sweet for me

too powdery and floral for my tastes. Not horrible but nothing special and I definitely would not repurchase.

Treatments -Frederic Fekkai - Technician Color Care Mask
rated 5 of 5
Shavwi 2/19/2008 1:39:00 PM

this product is amazing! I have very thick chemically straightened, colored hair. my hair was in pretty good condition before I used this, but once I used this it was extra soft, silky, bouncy and shiny. It's expensive, but totally worth it in my opinion. My mother tried it on her damaged highlighted hair and it worked amazingly for her as well. I wish it came in a tube, but it's so amazign I can't even complain. Highly reccomended.

Cleansers -L'Oreal - Purezone skin clearing gel cleanser
rated 1 of 5

This made my skin so dry and irritated that whenever I put anything else on my breakouts after using this it feels like my skin is burning. My skin is extremely oily and after 2 days of using this product my skin is dry and flaking off. Horrible product, I would not purchase again

Mascara -Kiss Me - Kiss Me Mascara
rated 5 of 5
Shavwi 9/30/2007 7:43:00 PM

This mascara has seriously changed my entire makeup routine. I have very oily skin and every singly mascara I have tried gives me a black eye by the end of the night, so lazy makeup days with only some mascara have never been a reality for me. This stuff defines my lashes and makes my lower lashes look great, giving me an almost doe-eyed look. and the best part is that it never comes off! Not until I gently rub my lashes in the shower with warm water will the stuff come off, it even lasts thruogh naps and parties, etc. It comes off very easily too! I highly reccomend this mascara to anyone who is sick of raccoon eyes by noon!

Lipstick -Vincent Longo - Pure Demure
rated 5 of 5
Shavwi 9/24/2007 1:54:00 AM

This is a gorgeous nude color with a great creamy consistancy. It's not too pale or too dark, definitely a HG nude for me. I love Vincent Longo lipsticks because I find them to be super moisturizing, but the downside is that they are very soft and break easily - I don't recomend bringign this out in your purse in warm weather. That said, I love this color and would repurchase.

Polishes -Milani - Black Magic

this is a gorgeous black, but it lasted all of half a day before it started chipping on me! I gave it away in favor of OPI's Black Onyx, which lasted much longer on me. I would not repurchase.

Polishes -OPI - peace, baby!

I found this to be quite streaky and chipped easily. It was a bit opaque for me, as I had to put on several coats because it was so streaky. It lasted on toes, but chipped off fingers the very next day. I am very dissapointed and would not repurchase.

Polishes -Essie - East Hampton Cottage
rated 3 of 5
Shavwi 7/14/2007 5:37:00 PM

pretty, slightly shimmery, opaque white. It had a pink tint in the bottle that did not really show up on my nails. Peeled a little bit - a problem I have with Essie polishes. Went on my nails fine, but application was very streakey on my toes. A nice white, but nothing special and I will not repurchase.
