Hair Color -John Frieda - Precision Foam Color
cstobbs 6/2/2011 12:37:00 AM
OMG. I can't believe it. I just colored my medium blonde hair with the Extra Light Beige Blonde and. . . . NOTHING! You can't tell I did anything to my hair. Did nothing to my grays and did not change my hair color one bit. I do not recommend this stuff. Went to the store to get Revlon Color Silk. The only good thing I can say is that it was easy and it smelled nice.

Treatments -Bliss Labs - THINNY THIN CHIN
cstobbs 1/22/2009 3:48:00 PM
What can I say - this stuff works. I just use it during the day. I am going to be 47 years old. It also helps get rid of the wrinkles on my chest. It may be a temporary lift, but I love it! I don't notice that it helps with my neck, but chin and chest, absolutely!

Self Tanners -L'Oreal - Sublime Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion in Natural Medium Tan
cstobbs 5/20/2008 11:09:00 AM
This is the worst ST I've ever tried. I bought the "new" version. It goes on streaky. It cracks me up they put "streak free" on the front of the tube. I've never had anything go on this streaky. I think this sucks and I am throwing my away!

Eyes -Jan Marini - Age Intervention EyeLash

Yes, this absolutely works. No, you don't need to use it every day. I've actually had mine for a year now. I used it often at first, but never every day. I may use it once a week now. My eyelashes are so long they look fake. This stuff is truly amazing.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Telescopic
cstobbs 5/25/2007 7:01:00 PM
So far, this is the best mascara I've ever tried. I have a lot of lashes and hate when they clump together. This actually leaves my lashes looking like they are made of hair instead of I don't know what. The lengthening is great and the separation is fabulous. Love it. I have not tried it on my lower lashes, though.

Primer/ Corrector -Revlon - Vital Radiance Smoothing Face Primer 01 apricot
cstobbs 9/25/2006 11:22:00 AM
I was a little worried with the color, but it doesn't change the color of my foundation. I really love this stuff and it is by far the best primer I've used. I've tried Laura Mercier and Smashbox. This gives my 44 year old skin a nice glow under the Vital Radiance foundation and keeps my makeup looking for much longer, which is a big plus for someone as oily as me.

Liquid -Revlon - Vital Radiance Line Softening Makeup Pore Refining SPF 15 shade 20 sand
cstobbs 9/25/2006 11:18:00 AM
So far this is the best foundation I've tried. I am 44 years old, very oily and have rosacea. I use this with their primer and it really makes my skin look beautiful. It keeps the oilies away better than anything else for me. The coverage is light to medium. It does not settle into my wrinkles and makes my pores disappear. It is pricey for drugstore line, $19.00, but I have found it at a grocery discount store for $9.50! The colors are very good as well. I also went on their website and got a coupon for $5.00 of any product. By the way, if you buy it at Longs, I've never had any problem taking makeup back to them for a refund.

Mascara -Anna Sui - Long Lash Mascara
cstobbs 9/15/2006 4:25:00 PM
THE BEST! I can't believe how long this makes my lashes. I use it over the base part of L'Oreal's Double Extend. I did this on accident, but like the result. I thought I would hate this mascara when I first pulled the applicator out - very strange. I have oily skin, wear contacts and this stuff stays put! I'm so oily most mascaras come off above my eyelids as well as below my bottom lashes. The packaging is great and this stuff smells wonderful too. This is the best thing I've ever bought from recommendations from this site. This can be bought from Victoria's Secret website.

Shampoo -Loma - Pearatin Hydrating Creme Shampoo
cstobbs 8/28/2006 1:02:00 PM
I was looking for an extremely gentle sulfate free shampoo. I saw this had no sulfates so gave it a try. This is aboslutely the BEST shampoo I've ever used. This with the hydrating conditioner leave my long, highlighted hair tangle free. I highly recommend this product! The smell is yummy too.

Liquid -Revlon - Age Defying Makeup with Botafirm SPF 20 for Normal/Combination Skin
cstobbs 7/19/2005 4:16:00 PM
So far this is the best foundation I've ever used and I think I've tried them all from Lancome, Chanel, Maven, MAC, etc. I have combo skin with a VERY oily T-zone. I usually am blotting before I even leave my house for work. I can go an easy 6 hours without any blotting with this. I also like that while it absorbs my oilies, it isn't too matte. Foundations that are too matte accentuate my wrinkles. This also makes my pores disappear. I will agree that a foundation brush works great with this. I had to blend the too darkest shades together to achieve the color I want (I'm pretty tan right now). Coverage is medium and buildable. I have rosacea and am sensitive and have had no problems with irritation. I don't know if the "botafirm" will do anything, but that's not why I bought this and I don't care. I highly recommend this!

Foundations -Vincent Longo - Liquid Canvas "Dew Finish Foundation"
cstobbs 2/18/2005 5:07:00 PM
Yes, I'll buy it again, as I use it to mix with other foundations to create my own, but I won't buy warm beige. Warm beige is very orange; something you'd expect from really cheapo stuff. I was truly disappointed at how little coverage this provides. It claims to give medium to full coverage - not even close!!! I get more coverage from my Sonia Kashuk tinted moisturizer. I do like the dewiness. If this had more coverage and I found a different color, I would be in love. Alas, it misses the boat.

Treatments -Sally Hansen - Age Correct Growth Treatment [DISCONTINUED]
cstobbs 7/16/2004 5:54:00 PM
I LOVE this stuff!! I had acrylic nails taken off which left my nails splitting and thin. This stuff put them back to normal. I absolutely love it by itself as a nude/sheer polish. Also, used under polish, it hides my ridges. I can say enough about this. One of the best beauty items I've bought in my life and that's saying something.

Lip Liners -MAC - Lipliner in Spice
cstobbs 4/26/2002 3:34:00 PM
I really can't figure out why people like this so much. I can hardly see it on my lips, and the color I do so I don't like. I like Chanel's nude much better or Wet 'n' Wild 666.

Liquid -Chanel - Double Perfection Fluide [DISCONTINUED]

What a great foundation for oily skin. I am VERY oily and have rosacea. This goes on well, covers pores, and stays on great. I am very happy with this purchase. The color the MA gave me is too dark for me, but should be fine after I use my self-tanner.
