Cleansers -L'Oreal - Skin Genesis Pore Minimizing Gel Cleanser [DISCONTINUED]
cinderellie 3/12/2010 9:43:00 PM
I decided to stray from my HG because I can only find it at Target now, so I think it's being discontinued soon. Anyway, I decided to purchase this instead. This product was ok and pretty effective at removing my makeup, but I felt that it dried my oily face too much. My face would feel really tight shortly after washing it/before putting moisturizer on. Sometimes I would awake to find my face peeling in certain places. This is fragranced, and the smell is really nice, but I feel that the fragrance also irritated my skin a bit. This would give me little red bumps on my cheeks after using it. Overall, I will not be repurchasing this product. I saw no reduction in the size of my pores & it was too harsh.

i looooove this bodywash!! seriously, this is totally HG material. it smells delicious & is creamy, lathery, and makes my skin super soft. i use a loofah at home, but i can just use this on it's own when i shower at the gym, and it still does the job! i will keep buying this for the rest of my life :)

Treatments -Organix - Coconut Milk Split End Mender
cinderellie 6/16/2009 5:46:00 PM
i actually really like this. while the matching shampoo & conditioner didn't work out for me, this really has. i rediscovered it a few days ago in my hair products bin & have been using it ever since. it smells amazing! i wish the scent lingered, but it doesn't. :( i only use 2 pumps on my long, fine hair and it doesn't weigh it down, it just makes it soft.

Conditioner -Organix - Nourishing Coconut Milk Conditioner
cinderellie 6/16/2009 5:42:00 PM
this conditioner smells sooo good, but it isn't enough for my hair. combined with the shampoo, my hair felt like straw and was frizzy. i purchased it because of the scent & because it's organic, but i won't be repurchasing again.

Shampoo -Organix - Coconut Milk Shampoo
cinderellie 6/16/2009 5:40:00 PM
i wanted to love this shampoo because of the way it smells and because it claims to be organic, but it just didn't do it for me. i have long, thin hair & this shampoo made it feel a little straw-like and frizzy. the scent doesn't linger, so that's also disappointing. overall, i won't be repurchasing.

Scrubs -Aveeno - Skin Brightening Daily Scrub
cinderellie 6/16/2009 5:00:00 PM
this product isn't bad, but it's not that great. i feel that it doesn't exfoliate my face properly, nor clean it well. i can't use this "daily" as the name suggests because it starts to irritate & dry up my face, especially around my nose. i probably won't be purchasing this again once i finish the tube.

Hair Removal -Nair - Shower Power Hair Remover
cinderellie 6/16/2009 4:54:00 PM
worst product ever, seriously. i used this once and almost finished the whole tube covering my entire legs. i left this on for 7 minutes & it didn't remove any of my leg hair. it smelled bad, stung, and made my legs really sensitive and painfully uncomfortable for 2 days. on top of that, i got a rashy chemical burn scab on my lower leg. i will never purchase this again & i wouldn't recommend it to anyone. it was a waste of my $7--if i could give it 0 lippies, i would!

Shampoo -L'Oreal - EverPure Volume Shampoo
cinderellie 4/24/2009 1:51:00 AM
this shampoo is ok. i gave it a 4 because it doesn't weight my hair down or make it greasy by the end of the day. it smells herbally, which is fine, but i just can't stand how this makes my hair suuper staticky. i won't be purchasing again, simply because my hair isn't color treated. i just wanted to try a sulfate free shampoo that volumized and this one fit the bill.

Treatments -Loma - Pearatin Fortifying Repairative Serum
cinderellie 4/11/2009 2:35:00 AM
this is my hg hair serum/heat protector/styling product! i bought the big bottle, and while expensive, it does last for a very long time because you only need so little. i have long, thin hair & this never weighs it down or makes it look greasy. i have the type of hair that has to be washed every day so i heat style every day & this serum has helped prevent breakage and split ends. i like to run it through towel dried hair before blow drying & then again on dry hair after straightening. i will definitely repurchase this!

Blush -NARS - Super Orgasm
cinderellie 3/16/2009 7:24:00 PM
I love this blush! i received it in a swap, but will definitely buy it once i run out (if i ever do). The glitter chunks are there when you open it, but once you swirl the brush in the blush and tap off the excess, they are gone & you are left with a beautiful flush of color!

Mascara -Max Factor - 2000 Calorie Mascara
cinderellie 2/24/2009 5:43:00 PM
this mascara is ok. i feel like it isn't consistant though. it either deposits way too much mascara onto my lashes, resulting in clumping...or too little, so it takes longer to achieve a thickening effect. overall, i won't be repurchasing. i prefer max factor's volume couture.

Mascara -Maybelline - Volum' Express The Colossal
cinderellie 2/19/2009 6:35:00 PM
at first, i hated this mascara. the smell was horrendous! who, in their right mind, would make a mascara smell like nasty old roses? i don't know, but i used this once like 3 months ago and went to work. the smell bugged me soo much while i was at work, that i couldnt wait to get home to wash it off--it was THAT bad. the mascara's performance was mediocre. it didn't do much volumizing. so, i decided to use something else for a couple of months. i recently went back to this one when i ran out of what i was using, and to my surprise, the smell was almost all gone. now, when i wear it, i don't smell the "roses" at all. also, since i opened the mascara and let it sit for a couple of months, the formula thickened a bit & it actually volumizes my lashes now. i tend to use this over max factor's 2000 calorie mascara to de-clump what that mascara does and to add an extra coat. overall, i won't be repurchasing this.

Scrubs -Fresh - Sugar Face Polish with Strawberries
cinderellie 2/18/2009 7:49:00 PM
this is the BEST scrub i've ever used. it's perfect in every way. the smell is delicious, the texture is perfect, and the "residue" is extremely moisturizing--but doesn't clog my pores! i use this about once a week, and have been doing so for the past 2 months, and i still have more than half of the jar left. it is expensive, but it's worth it because the results are amazing and the product lasts for a long time.

Treatments (Eye) -Shiseido - White Lucent Brightening Eye Treatment 
cinderellie 2/12/2009 7:00:00 PM
i wanted to love this eye cream & had high hopes because of the reviews on here...but it was just way too greasy and heavy for me. it felt like i was dragging it across my skin when i applied it, so i didnt like the idea of it giving me potential wrinkles and sagging from all the "massaging" i had to do. i prefer my eye creams to glide on and sink in a bit. this one just stayed on top of my skin and it was impossible to apply concealer over it because the concealer creased (even after setting it with powder). i used it for about 2 weeks, didnt notice any lightening at all, and finally gave up and returned it to sephora. i also think it gave me a pimple right under my eye...i've never had that happen before. overall, i wont be repurchasing this & i dont recommend it.

Treatments -Redken - Extreme Anti Snap OLD FORMULA see 143469 for new [REFORMULATED]
cinderellie 1/31/2009 9:06:00 PM
I really think this product made my hair worse than before I started using it. It seemed to dry it out & make it break more. I used a little more than half the bottle until I just poured the rest down the sink and recycled the bottle. I had high hopes for this.
