Mascara -Clinique - Lash Doubling Mascara
rated 4 of 5
courtneycaye 2/26/2010 1:01:00 AM

I love this mascara. I have long lashes. But I love a dark BLACK lash that is thick without being clumpy. This is awesome. It lasts ALL DAY LONG too! Won't even budge. AND it keeps my lashes curled. Some people complained about this, but it worked great for me. The brush is tapered, so you can literally get every lash end to end. I apply 3 coats keeping the bulk of the product concentrated at the base of my lashes. It lasts longer than other mascaras too. So many dry out after a couple of weeks... even clinque's high impact... and especially lancome's mascaras. But this stays nice much longer. A great buy. :)

Love it! Perfect for everyday! Makes my lips look huge! Very natural color. Not too much, but better than clear! The taste is fantastic... like sugar and vanilla... doughnuts. Mmmmmm.

Treatments (Eye) -Unlisted Brand - Latisse Lash Growth Drops
rated 4 of 5
courtneycaye 1/29/2010 1:57:00 AM

I love this stuff. I had pretty long lashes to begin with but nothing overly dramatic. I have been using this since December 20th-ish and it is now January 28th. I have had excellent results and even missed quite a few nightly applications. I use one drop per eye and one brush per night. I know it says to use one brush per eye, per night, but the medspa I bought it at advised me to do it this way, as the bottle would last about two months rather than the one month it states. They were right on. Here I am a month in, I have longer, darker lashes, and I still have at least a half of a bottle left. I know it's expensive, but it lasts a long time. I got 2 kits for $200 and it will surely last me 4 months if not longer. And the results are worth it! I get comments all the time and I love having more noticable, sexier lashes! What woman wouldn't!

Mascara -Prestige - My Biggest Lashes
rated 4 of 5
courtneycaye 1/28/2010 2:05:00 PM

Hello doll eyes! Ok. Hate the fat brush. I always hate fat brushes. But if you have a little patience, and apply 3 coats, your lashes will be thicker and blacker than you have ever imagined. I use latisse. So my lashes are super long, but the latisse doen't help as much with the thickening of lashes, and I am always looking for a mascara to give me a clump-free, long lasting volume that will make me look like I am wearing falsies. This works and the price point is right. I don't keep mascaras very long, so I refuse to pay for the twenty and thirty dollar brands. Try, it. For seven bucks or whatever, it's worth your time. Just be patient and apply multiple coats! :) If you like a separated, long lash though, you'd be better off with rimmel's glam eyes. Another fav of mine. But this is it for voluminous, dark black, doll-eyed lashes.

Masks -LUSH - Cupcake Mask
rated 5 of 5
courtneycaye 1/25/2010 12:24:00 PM

This mask is delightful! I love the smell... like chocolate cake batter! It is perfect for an all-over mask for oily or combination skin and also as a spot treatment for blemishes. My only complaint is that because you have to chill these masks to keep them fresh, the cold mask would close pores when applying on skin... not great when using as a decongestant. I try to warm it the best I can betwenn my fingers before applying. It will leave your pores clean and tight. Excellent for controlling oil throughout the day. Buy it. You'll love it. :)

Masks -LUSH - Catastrophe Cosmetic
rated 5 of 5
courtneycaye 1/25/2010 12:19:00 PM

I love this mask! I buy it whenever I go to LUSH! It smells so fantastic and is is the perfect combo of drying and moisture for my combination- acne prone skin. It makes your pores shrink up super small and controls oil for days after use... without sucking your skin dry. Fantastic.

Masks -DDF - Sulfur Therapeutic Mask [DISCONTINUED]
rated 4 of 5
courtneycaye 1/23/2010 3:04:00 PM

I have been wanting to try this mask for a long time based upon my obsession with face masks and the great reviews. I did not; however, want to spend close to $40 on it. I went to Sephora and got a free sample which has lasted me about 4 masks and some overnight spot treatments. I think it's a nice mask. The smell is natural, not too sulferie at all. I like that it is a natural color as well incase a little gets left behind on a dry spot, it's not purple or bright blue. Ha. I would never buy it. The price is too high. It's nice, but no better than Queen Helene Mint Julip or Mary Kay. It is way overpriced. But I totally loved the free sample.

Perfect for a light, even coverage. Great for under eyes or on blemishes. Stays put very well. The price is right. I'll probably always use this. It's great.

Love this hairspray for my fine hair. I don't use any product in my hair other than than this. Smells fantastic and helps to add volume and a light hold. The smell is the reason to buy it. People are constantly complimenting me!

Pressed Powders -MAC - Blot Powder
rated 5 of 5
courtneycaye 1/6/2010 4:07:00 PM

I will probably always own this! I get a little oily throughout the day and really love a matte finish so this is perfect for my combination skin. I use it several times throughout the day on top of my bare minerals matte and it works great! Love it especially for the hot summer days in phoenix. I do buy extra application pads and replace them often which keeps my skin clear and inhibits bacteria.

Powder -Bare Escentuals - Matte Foundation spf 15
rated 3 of 5
courtneycaye 1/6/2010 4:03:00 PM

I used the original bare minerals and liked it, but this is better for my skin type. I don't really like typical liquid foundations because they make me feel dirty. I love that bare minerals is healthy for your skin and feels very light while providing a nice even skin tone. I don't think it's amazing by any means, my skin doesn't look THAT much different with it than it does without it. But, it helps to control the oil, so it's nice. I apply it with the lancome mineral foundation brush which is much softer and much more plush than any of the bare minerals brushes. Try it if you aren't a fan of traditional foundation, but want a little oil control and a light coverage for your skin. The spf is a nice bonus in phoenix.

THE best smelling perfume ever! Sexy, flirty, sophisticated, all in one! I usually get bored with perfume, but I keep coming back to this one. I just feel so amazing with it on! Can't go wrong! It's beautiful.

Treatments -Bumble & Bumble - Bumble and Bumble Creme de Coco Masque
rated 5 of 5
courtneycaye 1/6/2010 3:54:00 PM

I love this mask! I usually use it once a week on my day off and it is simply amazing. I love the smell and it lingers in your hair all day long! Your hair will be so soft! It's not cheap, but worth the price as it lasts a long time and the results are fantastic. I choose to use it on my day off as my hair is fine and although is doesn't make it greasy, it is a little more weighted-down than usual. Worth every penny! :)
