Shampoo -Live Clean - Pink Fire Colour Protect shampoo
alizo 1/28/2012 8:13:00 PM
First shampoo that actually didn't strip my color!!!! I am so happy to have found this product! I henna my hair, so I have a lot of trouble with my color getting stripped by shampoo and conditioning products. This shampoo leaves my hair soft, smooth and manageable. I sometimes don't even feel the need for conditioner. I don't know how this little miracle does it, but my hair can also go an extra day without a wash! Great organic product!!!

Lotions/ Creams -Jergens - Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer
alizo 1/28/2012 8:01:00 PM
This stuff has a VERY strong self tan smell to it. If you find it bothersome, i would skip this product. It is however, very affordable and will get the job done. It does not turn me into an oompa loompa and the tan it leaves has good staying power. If you have the money, I would go for a higher quality product from Fake Bake or Sun Labs. These products may not be as affordable, but they smell better, tan you more quickly and are tinted. If you are low on cash, Jegens Natural Glow will get you a natural looking tan. Its also really hard to mess up on this product's application. Exfoliate, rub everything in and wash your hands and you should be streak free and glowy

Foundations -Maybelline - Instant Age Rewind- radiant firming makeup
alizo 1/28/2012 7:50:00 PM
I love this foundation!!! It gives a lovely, even, natural looking coverage. Never have I tried ANYTHING that gives you such a natural, radiant glow and high coverage. If your skin is well behaved, you might find it a bit excessive for everyday wear, but even then it is perfect for special occasions. I love how it photographs. Its staying power isn't phenomenal though. You will definitely need a good setting powder with this one.This may be because this is a very non- drying sort of formula. I do warn you: be careful putting this over certain blemishes and rough or dry skin. It will amplify those problem spots when used without primer or a thorough moisturizer.

Lotions/ Creams -Soap and Glory - Slim Wear

After going on birth control, I noticed a significant amount of water retention in my lower stomach, bum, thighs and under my chin. All the water retention on my belly and rear looked gross! It was bumpy and very very cellutitealiscious :( To cure these icky bumps, searched endlessly for a good cellulite reducing cream. I think I've found it!!!!!! This cream works very quickly to flush out all the water stocked up in your problem areas, and makes your skin lovely and silky smooth. I saw full results after three days! My cellulite and puffyness were almost gone! Unfortunately, like all cellulite creams, this is not a permanent fix.I noticed that after about two days of not using it, my problem areas had returned to their original state :/ Oh well. I guess my only hope is to keep off the birth control. All in all a great product!!!!

Lip Treatments -Nivea - A Kiss Of Shimmer
alizo 1/28/2012 7:22:00 PM
This lipbalm tastes terrible to me! It has a very rich, sweet, artificial kind of smell that can make you quite nauseous if you're sensitive to that kind of thing. It is an average moisturizer. the color has the potential to be flattering on certain young people, but I'm sure it brings out fine lines in more aged lips. It feels kind of cheap and isn't really anything special, so I wouldn't repurchase.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara in Black
alizo 2/5/2010 5:50:00 PM
Great product. It comes off easily, never smudges or flakes and holds my curl well. Great length, but not much volume. Hey, I'm willing to make the sacrifice. Looks natural (on me anyway) and the primer is super conditioning. My lashes don't get damaged by this product like they do with a conventional mascara. Its a damn good product!

Scrubs -Boots - No 7 Micro-Dermabrasion

I love this product! With a couple of months of use, its done miracles for me! I have really cystic acne and while it doesn't clear it up entirely, it keeps pimples at bay. Its also very good at fading scars and evening skin tone. Love it!

Skincare - Body -Bio Oil - All Products
alizo 2/5/2010 5:32:00 PM
I like this product. Bio Oil helps balance my skin, is very moisturizing, and fades blemish scars pretty well. The smell is a icky and gross (like old people), but if you add a couple of drops of a nice smelling essential oil in it (I use Jasmine), its not so bad. If i wasn't a starving student, I would probably splurge for a more expensive oil, but for the time being, this does the trick.

Loose Powders -Jane - Be Pure Mineral Powder
alizo 2/5/2010 5:20:00 PM
I found this on sale at superstore a few weeks ago (I live in Canada lol). As the brush idea seemed really user friendly and convenient, I bought it for the occasional touch up and to set my foundation. As much as i wish i loved it, its formula broke me up terribly and the brush was ridiculously difficult to use. I have very oily skin, and it didnt help control oil at all. I love Jane blushes and shadows, but their face products need some serious work!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Woodwinked - veluxe pearl

Pretty rich shimmery colour perfect for my currently medium-tan complexion. It really brings out my eyes without being too flashy. A little pricey for my tastes though. If your into mac shadows, this is a beautiful pearly neutral
