Makeup Brushes -MAC - #217 Blending
bigred4 11/5/2008 2:17:00 PM
I use this brush every single time I apply my eyeshadow- it's a must have for me! I bought it about a year ago (a MAC girl talked me in to it)- and I'm so glad I did! It is by far the best blending brush I've used (and I've tried a lot!). It works great in my crease and really fans out the colors just the way I like. The brush was a little rough when I first bought it but after multiple uses and cleanings (w/ MAC brush cleaner) it has softened out. Also, this brush is great b/c it LASTS! As long as you clean it well and take care of it, you'll be very happy with how long it'll last you! It was a bit pricey but I'd rather pay a little more if it means I'm going to get good quality. So if anyone has issues with getting their eyeshadow to blend try this brush! it works awesome!!

Conditioner -Pantene - Beautiful Lengths

Ugh I HATED this stuff! I bought both this and the shampoo in an attempt to "lengthen" my hair-- such a waste of money. This literally made my hair FALL OUT-- as in I would run this through w/ my fingers and clumps of my hair would come out! Despite hearing so many bad things about Pantene I decided to try this anyways and I'm very sorry I did. I would NEVER buy this (or any Pantene product) again thats for sure!

Treatments -Kevin Murphy - Leave-in.Luxury
bigred4 11/1/2008 6:37:00 PM
I am absolutely IN LOVE with this product. First let me tell you this: I have incredibly dry/damaged hair and am SO prone to split ends and breakage. I use to flat iron my hair everyday, use the crappy elastics that literally ripped my hair out, used wayy too many styling products, etc....I literally have tried just about every hair treatment/conditioner under the sun (mostly HE brands too) and NOTHING worked for me. So my hairdresser recommended this to me about 3 weeks ago so I decided to give it a try and buy it.... I have never been more pleased with my hair in my life!! I use a little everyday after I shower (mostly just in the ends) and it leaves my hair feeling incredibly soft and my ends are actually healthy!! I was an avid user of Bumble and Bumble's Deeep treatment but that is crap compared to this stuff! Also, it only costs $25 (which is like nothing compared to most professional hair care brands)- and a little goes a long way so it'll last!! I will continue to use this basically until it stops being made LOL. In all honesty- if you have really dry/damaged hair BUY THIS PRODUCT! I promise it is well worth it!!

Scrubs -Arbonne - Awaken Sea Salt Scrub
bigred4 11/1/2008 5:48:00 PM
I went to an Arbonne party and the woman had this out as a tester- I tried it on my hands and immediately fell in love!! This stuff is AMAZING. I use it about it every other day and it leaves my skin feeling baby-soft and I really like the scent of it too! I have sensitive skin so I was a little cautious to use it on my body but it has worked out great- not super rough like most scrubs, and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. Also, a little goes a long way with this stuff so one jar of it can last a while. The only thing I recommend when applying this is DON'T use it on your legs after you shave-- it BURNS like crazy!! Haha. Overall, I'm more than pleased with this product and will continue to buy it!

I swear by this stuff!! My eyeshadow use to crease all the time (one of my biggest peeves lol) and once I started using this it never creased again! Haha. I've never tried other eyebases solely because I love this one!! And it's not uber expensive!

Makeup Brushes -MAC - # 239 Eye Shader Brush
bigred4 10/4/2008 7:58:00 PM
I am OBSESSED with this brush! I've been using MAC shadows for almost 4 years but just bought the brush about a year ago and what a difference it made in my makeup! When I was using the cheap brushes my colors always seemed to mush into one and not really "pop" - but when I use this brush, my colors are distinct and POP! Definite A+++++!

Concealers -Bare Escentuals - Bisque

I LOVE love love my Bisque. I have actually never used it under my eyes (im not prone to circles)-- I mostly use it as either an eyeshadow base color or a browbone "highlighting" color- it works!
