Hair -Unlisted Brand - Prell Rinse Clean Shampoo
rated 4 of 5
Songbird1967 2/4/2012 7:19:00 PM

While Prell has a reputation for stripping hair and removing hair color, I find that sometimes I need to get a deep cleaning to clarify my hair and this clearly does the trick. Additionally, when I am in Florida my hair just deflates and frizzes up; using Prell gives it volume and keeps it fresh looking longer. So, I gotta still keep it along with my regulars such as Pureolgy, Biolage, etc. Besides, my shampoo changes with the season, humidity factor and such.

Absolutely gorgeous blush/bronzer for summer!! Everyone asks what I wear because it's subtle but makes me look polished and gives a healthy glow. Love, love, love Laura Gellar blushes. You must try...made in Italy and dare I say....better than MAC.

Found this in a lovely store in Block Island, Rhode Island where, sadly, they no longer sell it. This is fresh and addictive...just want to keep smelling it on my wrist! I wish they would make a room spray for this scent, as well. Really nice!!

Mascara -BeneFit Cosmetics - BADgal Lash

I have found that the best way to apply this mascara is to first apply my regular L'oreal voluminous then apply THIS second coat. Looks pretty damn good, I think but not my HG.

Blush -Laura Geller - Blush n Brighten Apricot Berry

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Laura Geller blushes and this does not disappoint. This blush imparts a fabulous smooth color that enhances a tan or just gives a wonderful delicious soft color to the face. I think her blushes rock!! These blushes are underrated; if they were MAC they would be selling off the shelf. Try these, girls...they simply are the best.

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Refissa

This is GREAT around the eyes! It has substantially reduced my fine lines. Lovin' it! Users please be aware that the "peeling" process is what it does: removing the outer layer of epidermis to reveal newer skin while heavily moisturizing. Good stuff!

Lipstick -Maybelline - 24 Hour super stay
rated 5 of 5
Songbird1967 1/16/2011 7:27:00 PM

First let me say I am a HUGE fan of the superstay lip products. These new colors do not disappoint. The problem is getting all the great colors in one place because many have sold out. As with all long lasting lipcolors there is a drying factor that one needs to counteract with reapplication of lip balm or gloss. It's a small price to pay for color that stays on after wine, salad, and such!

Blush -Laura Geller - Blush N Brighten Tropic Hues
rated 5 of 5
Songbird1967 9/30/2010 8:57:00 PM

Lovely warm and delicious swirls in this blush. It is not made in Italy but the Netherlands and is quite beautiful. Small size but great for travel and I think would look great on med complexions but not for very fair skin. NICE!!

Blush -Laura Geller - Tartufo
rated 1 of 5
Songbird1967 9/28/2010 8:14:00 PM

I hate to be the odd lady out but.....I have no idea what this is?? It's not a blush because there is virtually NO color to it. It's not a bronzer, not a powder but.....not sure, really. I am medium beige complextion and this looked as if I were trying to "beige out" when I applied it. Normally, I think Laura Geller blushes are fabulous but I have to take a pass on this one unless you uber white skin and no natural color. P.S. HUGE difference in this product is that it is NOT manufactured in Italy. It is not smooth and refined but dusty and dry...yucky.

This product is good but makeup artists and I agree Paula Dorf's eye crease brush is the best!

Pretty color and stays longer than most long wearing. Line this baby with a pretty lipliner and it pops. This looks great with a little tan.

Concealers -Maybelline - Super Stay 24 Hour Concealer

This is extraordinary buildable coverage. I think it's best suited for covering redness, blemishes, broken capillaries and such. Perhaps not as good under eyes unless you are well moisturized. It's lightweight and lasts!!! But the lasting opacity is it's strong suit. This is a keeper.

Eye Shadow -Maybelline - Stylish Smokes in Natural Smokes
rated 5 of 5
Songbird1967 3/16/2010 5:49:00 PM

Wel,l since I am a MAC, Bobbi Brown or Paula Dorf eye shadow gal, this purchase is rather unusual for me. I must say that these shadows are pretty damn good. The darker shade is MAC brun and the others are beautifully coordinated to create a lovely smokey eye. They don't flake much which is highly desirable since BB and PD do. Except for the cheap packaging these are right up there with MAC without the lofty price tag. Truly, you cannot beat this product and the price is right.
