Lotions/ Creams -Sally Hansen - Hand, Nails & Cuticle Cream
chowell 3/6/2004 4:31:00 PM
This lotion is probably the best I have bought. It smells good and immediately makes my hands look really good even though I have horrible cuticles. I have bought others since and don't like them near as much.

Lotions/ Creams -Aveeno - Intense Relief Hand Cream

It does absorb quickly, but it doesn't feel creamy. You can't use enough at once to feel moisturized. If you use too much it gets crumbly and feels gross. It didn't do anything for my cuticles. Won't buy again.

Lotions/ Creams -Burt's Bees - Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme

My husband bought me a jar of this because he knows I like a lot of Burt's Bees products. After the first application I liked it. It dried quickly and smelled great. To my chagrin a few minutes after application the smell was nauseating. I can't use it anymore. It just smells waxy and gross. Won't buy again!

Hair -Garnier - Fructis Shampoo & Conditioner
chowell 12/21/2003 12:26:00 PM
The first thing I noticed was the packaging. It was hard to open in the shower. I liked the smell immediately and it lathered nicely. My hair seemed to be less dry. I really liked it. I rarely make it thru an entire bottle of shampoo or conditioner, but I was about 5 shampoos away from an empty bottle when the unthinkable happened. After washing one day I was blow drying and styling and noticed my roots were an oilslick. It was really bad. I couldn't believe it was the shampoo so I tested out everything else to see what was the culprit. I finally discovered it was the shampoo. I gave it up cold turkey and after switching to another shampoo I have soft shiny hair once again. Will never buy this again!!!!

Cleansers -Cetaphil - Daily Facial Cleanser (Normal to Oily Skin)
chowell 12/19/2003 3:10:00 PM
I have always read that Cetaphil is the best product for your skin. I have extremely oily skin so I bought this formula. The smell was way too strong and my face dried out so bad. My skin was tight and flaky (and I've never had this problem in my life). And unlike the original formula you CANNOT take off your eye makeup with it. I made the mistake of not reading the label and I just assumed. It burnt my eyes so badly!

Lipstick -Wet 'n' Wild - Wild Shine Lipstick

This lipstick is awesome! I read the reviews and ran out and tried it. I paid $1.69 at Target. I got the Cranberry Shine. It is perfect. I can wear it with anything. It is very shiny and I feel like I'm wearing lip balm. Nice and smooth!

Cleansers -Dove - Self Foaming Cleanser
chowell 12/18/2003 1:24:00 PM
I love this cleanser. I have extremely oily skin, large pores, blackheads, and rarely get pimples. The first week I used it my forehead broke out a little, but I loved the texture and how my skin felt after so much that I stuck it out. The zits went away a week after using and my skin has been so soft and I really think it has helped with my oily skin. My skin has a glow that it hasn't had in awhile. Update**It also takes off eye makeup and doesn't sting.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Double Extend Mascara
chowell 12/18/2003 1:12:00 PM
I love this mascara. I have never used a mascara that didn't clump until this. I can even get to the little lashes at the outer corner. Doesn't curl, but lengthens!!! Love it!
