Treatments -TheFACEShop - Night Spot Eraser
etheralprey 4/13/2010 11:46:00 AM
I stumbled across this product while in the face shop. I haven't seen it on the website. This product claims to lighten and brighten spots from skin breakouts and acne scars. Well it does work sorta. I've realized that if you start using this product during the time you've had a zit it starts to fade it away faster. It does cut the time down it takes for your skin to fade past zits. If it takes you 5 weeks for your zit to fade it'll take 2 1/2 with this product. However, I have realized that in certain spots this product doesn't work as well. It doesn't really work that well on past acne scars that you have, or have been hanging around for months. Yeah you're gonna have to find another route on those. It has a pleasant smell, its not over powering. A tube lasts a while, I'm still on my first tube. It says its for night time use, and I only use it at night. I'm sure if you use it twice a day your zits would fade faster, but don't take my word for it.

Masks -Laneige - Strawberry Yogurt Pack
etheralprey 4/13/2010 11:26:00 AM
I got a bunch of these as samples. I used them and the product smells nice. Its not overwhelming. It wasn't terribly hard to use. Afterwards, my skin felt smoother. Smooth like if you used a primer or something. My skin wasn't dry but I had to moisturize a few places on my face.

Masks -My Beauty Diary - Aloe Sheet Mask
etheralprey 4/13/2010 11:22:00 AM
This mask is very moisturizing. I do really like it, and the smell is overwhelming like the others. It leaves my skin refreshed, moisturized and not tight. I don't have to moisturize after using it. I just wish they came out with a body version of it.

Masks -My Beauty Diary - Red Wine Mask
etheralprey 4/13/2010 11:20:00 AM
I'm not too fond of the smell of this mask. But it does leave my skin very moisturized, hydrated, and supple. I don't feel the need to moisturize after using this. I'm not sure if it brightens or whatever, but my skin does feel better. I do like the MBD line cause they all moisturize and make my skin pretty happy. Its the different smells that just get to people.

Skincare - Body -Unlisted Brand - Parissa Wax Strips Legs and Body
etheralprey 4/13/2010 11:15:00 AM
These are for your legs and arms. I found that if you try to use it anywhere but those parts it doesn't work as well. It works pretty well on the legs, though sometimes it leaves a sticky residue but that can easily be fixed with the blue bottle of azulene oil inside. This makes waxing pretty easy. If you've never waxed before well then you'd better be ready. It doesn't really hurt that badly, its not like you're giving yourself a brazilian here. The wax has a very distinct smell which I'm not crazy for. But it removes the leg hair so i'm not complaining.

Primer/ Corrector -Yves Saint Laurent - Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)
etheralprey 7/31/2007 7:19:00 PM
i decided to ry this product bc of the whole salmon pink toned concealer craze right now. so this clicky pen has some pink undertones, the SA applied it to me rather quickly, i wasn't wearing any makeup that day so i made this product work for it. she drew all over my face and use a sponge to spread it all over, i was surprised that my skin looked pretty good. i tried it again at home and it works pretty well, it doesn't conceal everything, i mainly use it under my eyes, it does a decent job but doesn't cover everything, its pretty light in coverage but way too pricey! the SA also said that i had to wash the brush at least twice a week and to let it dry, other wise it end up getting funky. so fair it's pretty decent, though i wouldn't repurchase this cause its minium coverage and way too pricey!

Lip Gloss -Maybelline - Shine Seduction [DISCONTINUED]
etheralprey 7/29/2007 1:24:00 AM
i got this as a freebie as they were giving them out where i was walking. the one i got was 710 magic susnet. so i tried it, click click i guess they wanted it to have some control over how much you were putting and give you the feel that it was a lipstick when its not. anyways it was shiny, and the color was ok, nothing major. doesn't last too long, but it was easy to re-apply. very shiny and glossy.

Mascara -Christian Dior - Diorshow Mascara
etheralprey 7/26/2007 8:17:00 PM
i got this as a freebie sample from sephora, cause i would never pay $23 for a mascara. Though i have to say it does lengthen my lashes and make them somewhat thicker, but the damn thing gives me racoon eyes after a few hours. I like that it doens't feel hard and dry on my lashes and remains soft, but i guess i should invest in the waterproof formula to avoid the racoon eyes. but overall it is a pretty decent mascara.

Mascara -Max Factor - Lash Perfection Volume Couture [DISCONTINUED]
etheralprey 7/26/2007 6:39:00 PM
I don't know why the package shows you the plastic brush and then has a seperate cap for the mascara part, kinda of wasteful. I'm not sure if the brush does anything at all except be plastic. This mascara does hold the curl in my lashes since my lashe are short and straight and need help. it does lengthen and make them thicker in a sense, but volume? not really. being that there are only 10 lashes to volumize and not a head of hair its kinda hard to tell, but its pretty good, i have the waterproof formula and it doesn't give me racoon eyes thus far, should test it on a humid day though. pretty good product, not bad for carmen electra.

Mascara -Rimmel - Extreme Definition
etheralprey 7/26/2007 6:34:00 PM
I got this as a freebie, and was interested in trying it due to the unique comb brush it had. It did not hold the curl in my lashes at all. It did lengthen my lashes but it didn't mater since they were no longer curcled. glad I didnt' pay for it, didn't live up to the hype.

Misc Beauty Tools -Revlon - Makeup Eraser Pen
etheralprey 7/26/2007 6:30:00 PM
I was interested in this product, and had a coupon so i tried it. It's pretty good and does what it says. I mostly use this for mascara and liner, since i don't wear eyeshadow and i wear lipgloss so i dont need it for there. it does a good job on the waterproof mascara as well. it works pretty fast and convinent so i like it. though it does feel a bit weird when u use it, it felt like there was something on my skin for a second though when i touched the area there wasn't anything there. must have been something in there that made it feel cool to touch. but its a good product.

Hair -L'Occitane - Shea Butter Hair Cream
etheralprey 1/21/2007 4:37:00 PM
I bought this on sale, it's a pretty good product, i used it as a conditioner and it really conditioned my hair and left it really soft. ( this was after a tropical island trip of sun and salt water and sand) it made my hair alive again. and strangely enough its made my hair straighter than it normally is which is good. the tin makes it easier to get into the product. not sure if i would re-purchase it at full price though.

Shampoo -Clairol - Herbal Essences - Color Me Happy
etheralprey 1/21/2007 4:34:00 PM
I love the smell of this shampoo! i used it when i didn't have colored hair and it worked great then! I used it when i dyed me hair as well and worked pretty good as well. I hate the packaging of the bottle cause you push down on the cap and it opens up a little, kind of a pain, but i love the smell of it! I just wish it wasn't always sold out everywhere!

I love this product. It really does feel like lotion on your skin, and does moisturize. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle. I love this product. I use it in the morning before I head out and it's great that it provides broad spectrum protection and has a spf of 45! Definately love this product!

Sunscreen -Neutrogena - Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock SPF 45
etheralprey 8/1/2006 1:55:00 PM
I love this spray! I used it while on vacaton on this hot humid island, and it was so refreshing and cool. It was easy to use, and my friends were able to use to spray each other. And re-applying was easy as well. The smell was too strong at first, but it fades away quickly. It's a pretty good product. I really like it.
