Fragrances -Elizabeth Arden - Mariah Carey - 'M'

THis stuff is so gross. When I first put it on, I thought that it smelled surprisingly good, kind of sweet like cancy. After a few minutes though it turned into this awful old lady perfume smell. It turned into a really strong odor and i was scrubbing my skin trying to get it off. The worst part is this perfume just lingered. You should definitely try this out before buying it.

Deodorants -Unlisted Brand - Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal
cheral 7/23/2008 6:42:00 PM
I was hoping this product would work but it didn't. I used it but it didn't do anything, in fact I think it made me have more odor than I usually have, because I usually don't have much of a noticeable smell if I don't wear deodorant. I thought maybe I was using it wrong so I looked at the reviews here and many people said you have to keep rubbing like 100 times. So I did that right after I showered but there was no difference. Then I noticed I was getting red bumps on my armpits so I stopped using it. This might sound weird, but I also pluck my armpit hairs out, and after using this they were REALLY hard to pull out when normally they come out fairly easy. Anyway, I bought the mini sized stick of this for $2 so I'm not too disappointed since it wasn't much money. But this definitely didn't work on me and in fact made my smell worse. My skin reacted badly to this, which is the first time a deordorant has made me get red bumps. Also, it is super annoying having to keep rubbing this hard stick under your armpits.

I can't tell any difference between when I put this on and when I don't. On the plus side it goes on very smoothly, but i wont repurchase this because it had absolutely no effect of my dark circles, or if there was one it wasn't noticable.

Lip Gloss -The Body Shop - Cranberry Lip Balm
cheral 1/27/2006 5:15:00 PM
I really like this lip gloss/balm. I usually don't like things with glitter flecks in it but since this was a dollar on clearance I got it anyway. Well I think it looks really pretty when you put it on, it enhances my lip color and makes them a little glossy but the glitter doesn't look gaudy its not even noticable. The smell and consistency is good too. I am ok with putting my finger in the pot because I just wipe the excess on my hand for moisture. I would repurhase this if I could get it for less than $2.50. Also it does a pretty good moisturizing my lips too.

Masks -Queen Helene - Grape Seed Extract Masque
cheral 12/29/2005 7:42:00 PM
Honestly, I wasn't expecting anything from this. I just think its fun to put this kind of mask on my face and thats pretty much all i bought it for, because I like peel off masks. This doesn't do anything bad to my skin, it just makes it softer. I didn't notice any new tightness, just soft skin that felt a little more moisturized too. I didn't have any difficulty taking it off, and it smells like roses, which didn't bother me, but I guess it could bother people sensitive to smells. It doesn't give me a glow actually it makes me look kind of washed out for some reason. I still like it though and I think its just as good as any other more expensive mask.

Masks -Queen Helene - Mint Julep Masque
cheral 12/29/2005 7:36:00 PM
Ive been using this for 2 weeks now, and I think it has improved my skin. If I have a pimple, I just put the mask on for the recommended time, and then the next morning, the pimple is ready to pop and also smaller in size. also, my blackheads are smaller and easier to squeeze out. i was worried this might ruin my skin, because people were saying it dried out their skin, but it didn't do that to me, it only dried out the blemishes and my skin tends to be on the drier side and most any acne product will dry it out and just make it worse. i like the smell of this, it is minty but not intolerable. it tingles/stings a little at first but that goes away. it is cheap and works better than things like clean and clear. i recommend you give it a try, at least it improved my skin and i don't think it could hurt you.

Mascara -L'Oreal - FeatherLash [DISCONTINUED]
cheral 12/19/2005 11:00:00 PM
This is a great mascara. It mainly lengthens but I think it volumnized a little too. I like the brush and packaging. It wears well on me, like no smudging. I can't find anything bad to say about it! I think loreal makes really good mascaras, I've never bought one I didn't like. If you want really dramatic lashes though you shouldn't get this because this is more natural looking.

Concealers -Cover Girl - Invisible Concealer
cheral 12/19/2005 10:57:00 PM
I like the consistency of this concealer, it is pretty thin compared to some others I've used. The coverage is good too. However it looked kind of orangey on my skin but I figure I'll just mix it with a concealer thats too light for me and maybe that'll fix it. Anyway I don't think I'd repurchase it but if you can find a shade that matches you its a good thing to buy. Its a better concealer than all the other ones I've tried though which surprised me because I always thought covergirl was some gross brand. Well that just shows how wrong I was.

Loose Powders -Cover Girl - loose powder
cheral 12/19/2005 10:50:00 PM
I got this in translucent honey, which is actually a little dark for my skin so I am just going to use it as bronzer. It is an ok powder though. The packaging is really bad though, the container seems really cheap and its hard to screw on. Also the puff is a little bulky. It has a fragrance to it that I'm ok with but I can see it bothering some people. I am going to give this a 2 because they really should say it has glitter in it and if people are hoping to use this as a 'professional' loose powder then they will have bought something useless. also i think there are better loose powders out there with better packaging for around the same price.

Liquid -Cover Girl - Continuous Wear Makeup
cheral 12/19/2005 10:46:00 PM
This is the first foundation I've ever tried, and I'm very happy with it. Before I was trying all these concealers trying to find one that worked, but now that I have this I realize I don't need concealer, this gives good enough coverage for me. The color, classic tan, is a perfect match for my skin, and while it isn't totally opaque it does a pretty good job covering and toning down any redness. Also, it looks very natural on my skin, like I don't have anything on. A little goes a long way and since this was on clearance I'll be sure to stock up. Overall, it is a very good and I'm very satisfied. Also I like the packaging a lot. After using this more often I dont think it lasts really long on its own but maybe if I put powder over it it would last better. I still like it though.

Lip Liners -Wet 'n' Wild - Creme lip liner #713
cheral 12/18/2005 6:10:00 PM
This makes me look like I have pepto bismol all over my lips. Other than the color though it is good. Also the new formula goes on a lot better than the old one.

Lip Liners -Wet 'n' Wild - Creme lip liner #665
cheral 12/18/2005 6:06:00 PM
I have 665A, i don't know if thats any different than just 665. In the package it looked like a dark red with a little bit of brown. On my lips though it showed up red but with more pinkiness. This is a pretty color though and it looks natural, I didn't line my whole lips though, I just drew on a couple lines and smudged it in so it was kind of more like a stain. It lasts pretty well and when I first tried to put it on it was a little hard but then it worked fine. After that it went on very smoothly. For 50 cents this is a steal and I might repurchase this, but I'd like to try out all the other shades too.

Lipstick -Revlon - Silver City Pink
cheral 12/3/2005 4:54:00 PM
the quality is good but the shade!!!! i have no idea how this could look good on anyone. at first I thought maybe i could make it work, but this just makes me looks like I have white lips that are kind of purplish. not a pretty picture! this is a very bad shade i think, however the other lipsticks in their line are good quality and i think this is the worst color they have. i am going to give this a 2 because the lipstick itself is good but the shade is completely unwearable and i don't think anyone should buy it unless they want to look like a dead clown.

Concealers -Jane - No Show oil-free concealer
cheral 12/3/2005 4:48:00 PM
This is the worst concealer I have ever used, or at least no better than the other ones I've tried. It doesn't cover very well and it just settles into any lines. In fact it makes my face look worst and I feel bad that I wasted my money on this. Plus it doesn't last very long. I dont understand the hype about it, every other concealer I've used has been better than this.

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara
cheral 11/26/2005 2:07:00 AM
I don't know why no one likes this, I thought it was excellent. It made my lashes look better than they ever had. I like the brush and the formula, and they give you a lot of product. It didn't smear at all on me even though I rubbed my eyes a little bit and it lasted through the whole day. Plus my lashes were flexible not hard spikes. I would definitely repurchase this. Maybe the rest of you aren't putting it on right, but then I didn't do anything specialy when I was putting it on. Or maybe I just got a really good bottle? It looks a lot better if you comb through it which is what I did. btw, I got blackest black which is just a regular black color, not something super dark.
