Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous Naturale
catmarg 3/8/2010 12:01:00 PM
Is natural looking and doesnt seem to clump or smear. The wand is too flexible and tends to bend when I put it in the tube, so it is not easy to get in. Overall, this is average.

Lotions/ Creams -Burt's Bees - Hand Salve
catmarg 3/8/2010 11:58:00 AM
PROS: This stuff does work. I bought this to help moisturize my really dry and torn cuticles. After the first application, they look MUCH better. I will just use it as a cuticle and nail salve and would not put in on the rest of my body. CONS It STINKS and is greasy, so not for everyone. I might not buy it again b/c of the smell, as it does give me a bit of a headache, but I might get used to it. Too bad, b/c it works.

Conditioner -Pantene - Pantene Restoratives Anti-Breakage Conditioner 
catmarg 11/20/2009 10:28:00 AM
This conditioner did a good job on my hair. I have longer, normal to fine hair with highlights and colour. It feels really creamy and heavy when it goes on, but that is because it is a good deep conditioner. I find that it rinses clean, but leaves my hair conditioned and not weighed down at all. My hair is soft and manageable, and there are no dry ends. It is much better than many more expensive conditioners I have tried (Joico for example). I am not sure if it will help with breakage, but I wuld buy it again. I only put 4 because I don't think it will help with breakage, but if it does i will give it a 5 for the price.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous Lipgloss - Nude Lustre
catmarg 3/2/2009 4:02:00 PM
This is a great lipgloss. The colour is very sexy and understated. It is not too sticky either. I don,t get the obsession with MAC.. when I compare this lipgloss to MAC lipglass, the colour is much better and much less sticky. Nicer packaging too! Why spend 20 when you can get better for 12?

Concealers -Clinique - Line Smoothing Concealer
catmarg 3/2/2009 3:58:00 PM
While I like the coverage of this product - creamy texture that stays put, it should not be called line smoothing. I have some tiny lines under my eyes, and the concealer seems to make them more noticable. Then again, I am not sure if any concealer can really smooth out lines in the skin.

Lip Gloss -Maybelline - Superstay Gloss
catmarg 12/18/2008 8:48:00 AM
The product itself is ok, but the packaging leaks. I have made sure that the gloss part is tightly closed, but it is leaking in my purse so I have to put it in a ziplock. Not cool.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Volume Exact [DISCONTINUED]

This is good mascara. Not glumpy. Nice small brush with just enough product on the wand. Makes my lashes stand out, but not clumpy. Does not flake or cake so far.

Treatments -Redken - Color Extend Rich Recovery
catmarg 10/29/2008 8:53:00 AM
I love this stuff. Although it is a treatment conditioner, I use it each time I wash my hair. I have fine hair that I have to wash every two days. This makes my hair manageable and shiney but with body and not weighed down. It does not make it greasy. It makes for good hair days!!

Moisturizers -Origins - Balanced Diet
catmarg 10/23/2008 10:10:00 AM
I like this stuff. It feels good when going on and is not greasy. You need quite a bit to get a good moisture going though. I have combo skin. No breakouts with this. A bit expensive. Origins does not use all natural products by any means. Don't buy into the hype like I did.

Scrubs -Origins - Modern Friction
catmarg 10/23/2008 10:07:00 AM
This one is harsh on the skin.. though I have noticed a reduction in bumps that would not go away. Not a big enough change to keep using. It stings after use for a while, but I guess so would a peel. It would be best in a tube.

Mascara -Maybelline - Volum' Express The Colossal
catmarg 10/23/2008 10:02:00 AM
Awful. You have to wipe off the brush to get a smooth application. The mascara is wet and easily smudges. The tube finally "exploded" on me-- I went to get some out of the tube and the neck of the tube gave away and i got a brush with a big glob of mascara. yuck. the covergirl one in the fat orange tube is better for sure.

Gels/Soaps -Kiss My Face - Olive Oil Soap
catmarg 7/1/2008 2:10:00 PM
If youare looking for a natural moisturising soap, this one is good. I can use it on my face (oily skin) and I won't break out. I use it for my body mostly, and feel that it moisturises very well. I don't need to use as much body lotion.

Shampoo -Burt's Bees - Very Volumizing Pomegranate & Soy Shampoo
catmarg 7/1/2008 2:04:00 PM
Well, first of all I have no idea how thick my hair strands or ponytail circumference is (who measures this)?? This shampoo is best when used with the conditioner. Don't use it everyday, as it is drying. It does give great body, and I get compliments on the "swingy-ness" of my hair when I use it!!

Lipstick -Maybelline - Superstay lipcolor
catmarg 2/19/2008 12:55:00 PM
The problem I have with this product is that I find that it does not stay on the whole. I expect a product like this tos tay on after eating, but I end up with a ring outline and the colour faded in the middle. I think it might be because I don't put a thick coat on, as it is dark. I love the colour "chili", which is the reason why I would buy it again. The lip conditioner is nice too. This is not as staying power as the covergirl brand from a few years ago, but it is more moisturising.
