I first smelled this in a magazine and had to have it! It is that good. I love it. I purchased it at Macy's and received the gift set which had the full size pefume or parfum, a shower gel, lotion, and a purse size roll on. It also came with an extra shower gel and bath sponge and samples. The bottle is beautifu as well, perfect to display:)

Fragrances -Bath and Body Works - Moonlight Path EDT
dreamer21172 6/15/2008 2:08:00 AM
This was my favorite scent when I worked at B&BW, but I was still stuck on Allure at the time. 5 years later and this is the only scent I wear. I usually mix the EDT with the body spray and keep a purse size spray in my bag for throughout the day. I receive a lot of compliments on this and my boss now wears it:)

Mascara -L'Oreal - Telescopic
dreamer21172 5/29/2007 1:55:00 AM
I bought this b/c I had a coupon, and I HATE it. The wand isn't your typical mascara wand and it just doesn't do anything for my lashes at all.

Toners -Olay - Daily Facials Clarity Purifying Toner
dreamer21172 7/8/2006 12:23:00 AM
I had been using Nars toner for awhile and wanted to try one lower in price. I had a coupon for Olay and thought I would give it a try....never again. I have rather oily skin and this stuff dried my skin out big time. I woke up with flakes and then had to use extra moisturizer. So much for trying to save money.....sometimes cheaper isn't always better:(

Primer/ Corrector -Smashbox - Photo Finish Primer
dreamer21172 5/8/2006 12:32:00 AM
LOVE this product!! My friend told me try it and Im so happy I did. It minimized my rather large pores and controlled my oily skin throughout the day so I didnt have to keep touching up. The feel of it is really neat also. It is a little pricey, but well worth the extra money. I was using Laura Mercier, but this is sooooo much better. Definitely try it!!

Treatments -Clinique - Sheer Matteness
dreamer21172 4/5/2006 1:59:00 AM
I found this amongst my many forgotten products. My skin becomes oily by mid day and I have to constantly keep "powdering my nose." I decided to give it a try one day and "voila" it worked great....I am just sorry I didn't find it sooner. I will definitely buy this again and for anyone with oily skin I say give it a try!!!!

Fragrances -Chanel - Allure for women
dreamer21172 3/29/2006 12:35:00 AM
I LOVE this fragrance!! I started wearing it 2 years ago, and still receive compliments. I only wear it during the spring and summer months because it is a lighter frangrance. I feel when it comes to a fragrance everyone is different as far as how it reacts with one's body chemistry. If anything ask for a sample and give Allure a try and see if it works for you. I am very happy with it, and men especially comment on it:)

Skincare - Face -RoC - Retinol Actif Pur Anti-Wrinkle Treatment (night) [DISCONTINUED]
dreamer21172 3/28/2006 2:03:00 AM
LOVE the Roc!! I rarely buy drugstore products, but this stuff is great. My good friend who is a LA based actress told me about this stuff. She sees a Beverly Hills derm who tells her all of the time the cheap products are just as good. Her derm told her about ROC and she loves it. I am on my second tube and my skin is much smoother and breakout free. Prior to ROC I was breaking out all of the time for some reason, which is strange for me. This product feels great on and has AHA which is a must for preventing wrinkles. I am 34 and really worried about wrinkles these days. I have tried La Mer, Precision, and all of the other high end products. ROC gets the prize and the price couldn't be better.

Toners -NARS - Balancing Toning Lotion
dreamer21172 3/27/2006 12:28:00 AM
I went on a Neiman Markup shopping spree and had a make-over at Nars. When it comes to make-up I tend to get carried away, and buy way too much at times. I bought all of the products they used on me, the toner being one. When I looked at my receipt and saw the price, I said never again. It didn't do anything that a lower priced toner wouldn't do. I would rather save money and buy a less expensive toner, and put my savings towards other products.

Cleansers -Mario Badescu - Seaweed Cleansing Soap
dreamer21172 3/26/2006 2:54:00 AM
I know there are negative reviews, but I really like this soap. I like the subtle scent and it is very gentle on my skin. I had been looking for a cleanser for awhile and this has worked well for me. My only negative comment is the packaging. I wish it had a pump or something else that would make it easier to dispense. I will buy it again, I like it that much.

Treatments -Aussie - 3 Minute Miracle Deeeeep
dreamer21172 3/23/2006 1:59:00 AM
I LOVE this stuff!!! I recently had my hair dyed and it was so dry. I tried a few hot oil treatments and they didn't do anything. I went back to the store to look for something different and came across Aussie. I compared the ingredients with other higher priced treatments and Aussie had the same ingredients plus a few other natural ones. The price is cheap, smells great, and my hair was super soft. A must for anyone with dry hair.

Moisturizers -NARS - Aqua Gel Hydrator
dreamer21172 3/22/2006 1:50:00 AM
I love this stuff and I just ordered a new one. It does wonders for my dry skin, while leaving it super soft. I layer it on because I am obsessed with preventing lines right now. I could do w/o the square container, but it is a great product. A little pricey, but one jar lasted me about a year. For anyone with dry skin, I would give this a try.

Mascara -Kiss Me - Kiss Me Mascara
dreamer21172 3/20/2006 11:29:00 PM
I bought this from my spa the day I had a facial. The facial tech is also a make-up artist in NYC (theater) and I was curious of what the "hot" product was these days. She couldn't say enough about Kiss Me Mascara. If you are looking for volume and length, this isn't for you. I like it because when I work out I tend to sweat a lot and the mascara stays put. The first time I washed it off it looked like my lashes came off with it, but it was just the mascara sliding off whole.

Fragrances -Thierry Mugler - Angel
dreamer21172 3/20/2006 3:23:00 AM
I have been wearing this fragrance since it first came out and I love it!! It stays on all day too, which is a great quality. I receive compliments all of the time and people always ask what I am wearing. When they do ask and I say Angel, people say "Oh yeah, by Victoria's Secret...." Then I need to get into who really makes it....Included in the box is a "message" which asks for your address and you need to send it back to the country where you are. Definitely do it and they will send you samples and updates from time to time. I only wear this in the fall and winter because it is a warm fragrance and switch to something lighter in the spring and summer months.

Powder -Bare Escentuals - Bare Minerals in 1.2, fairly light
dreamer21172 3/20/2006 3:12:00 AM
I really wanted to like Bare Minerals, but it didn't work for me. I have heard great things about it, so when I was in Sephora I had the sales girl apply it for me. As soon as I looked in the mirror I was horrified. My pores looked bigger than normally, and I was orange. My skin also felt really dry and I have oily skin. I have used Chanel forever, but felt I needed a change. Bare Minerals wasn't the change I was looking for unfortunately.
