Styling Products -Aussie - Sprunch Spray
gortney 1/4/2013 5:34:00 PM
I have straight hair, and I was hoping for a hairspray that I could use to help me achieve a beachy look. I first spray my dry hair with a seasalt spray, add in a texturizer, then I diffuse my hair. Lastly I add this hairspray. I find it a little too wet and not as much hold as I would like. Since my hair is straight and very hard to achieve the messy look, I need a hairspray with more hold. Not for me!

Lipstick -MAC - Satin - Pink Nouveau
gortney 1/4/2013 5:29:00 PM
I love this lipstick! I bought it a while ago and today I finally used it. It's so pretty. I dapped a bit of concealer on my lips to help make the pink of the lipstick pop. You can sheer this lipstick out to make it look like a pretty stain, or go bold. It looks beautiful with NARS Turkish delight lipgloss over top!

Mascara -Clinique - High Impact Extreme Volume
gortney 11/20/2012 12:23:00 PM
I hate this mascara. The wand is way too big. The bristles are too far apart that I end up with clumpy spider lashes. The formula is too wet. I end up getting mascara all over my eyelid because of this. This is a huge fail in my opinion. And when I remove the mascara at night, it leaves little flakes all over my eyes and I have to spend forever fishing out the bits and pieces from inside my eye. It does not volumize as much as I would like either. A waste of money.

Styling Products -Aussie - Sun-Touched Shine hairspray
gortney 7/18/2012 11:45:00 AM
This is the stickiest hairspray I've ever used. I have a heck of a time brushing my hair out at the end of the day. I prefer a drier hairspray. This is far too wet for my taste. I'm also not a fan of the way this sprays out. It's a little too direct and strong. I prefer a mist. I wouldnt purchase again.

Polishes -Sally Hansen - Gem Crush Big Money
gortney 5/5/2012 11:32:00 PM
I love this nail polish! It's so pretty. I was looking for a lighter gold sparkly nail polish and I found this! I love the lilac sparkles in it as well. Very pretty. The only downside is this chips very easily.

Makeup Brushes -Bobbi Brown - Blush Brush
gortney 10/14/2011 4:03:00 PM
I love this brush! I've been searching for the perfect blush brush for forever. I'm horrible at applying blush. I either apply it too high or too low. This brush is goof proof. It is expensive, but if you take good care of your brushes, you'll have it for years to come. I'm looking forward to buying more brushes by Bobbi Brown. They are definetly worth the money!

Lip Gloss -Bobbi Brown - Brightening Lip Gloss - Peach
gortney 10/14/2011 4:00:00 PM
Love this lipgloss! I just got it in the new packaging, so it has the new applicator (which is far superior to the old brush tip). It's such a pretty color. Would compliment every skin tone.

Styling Products -Bumble & Bumble - Classic hairspray
gortney 8/20/2011 3:42:00 PM
Is this supposed to be a joke? This shouldn't even be called 'hairspray'. It didn't hold or anything. The only thing I like is the spray action. Its a nice mist. But other than that, this is crap. It's probably just water with a smell.

Skincare - Face -MAC - Fix+
gortney 6/1/2010 10:21:00 PM
I really like this product. I was always embarassed at how powdery my face looked after putting on powder, and this takes it all away. I love how I can have a nap and still wake up with makeup on and not smeared away. I would definetly repurchase this stuff.

Eye Shadow -Chanel - Les 4 Ombres-Vanites Quad
gortney 5/30/2010 12:37:00 PM
I was so glad that I only spent $8 on this product. I was using a gift certificate and so glad that I didn't waste a ton of money on this. I was really disapointed with this quad. The colors are not very vibrant. I have to basically scrape the colors out of the pan in order to get color. I will definetly stick to Dior colors if I want to go high end. Will never get this again.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Easy Lounger
gortney 5/28/2010 11:15:00 PM
Really pretty color. I love sheer pink glosses and this one was a must have. I like to wear a nude lipstick (or concealer) on underneath, then this gloss on top. It's really pretty.

Mascara -Lancome - Hypnose

Love this mascara. It's the only mascara that leaves my lashes curled after I apply the mascara. No mascara base required. I do find this mascara expensive, but it is worth it.

Styling Products -TiGi - Bed Head After Party
gortney 12/25/2009 1:36:00 PM
I had been buying this product for years and I never knew how to use it right. I always put it in my wet hair and then blow dry it. I then saw on the instructions and it said to use on dry hair to smooth it down. Then I finally talked to my hair dresser and she let me in on the real secret of this stuff. Yes it's a smoother, but it's called 'After Party' for a reason. I'm around people that smoke inside and it drives me nuts when my hair smells like smoke when I leave there. If you take this stuff and then rub it all over your hair, the smoke smell disappears! It is amazing! I will always use this now. Loves it!

Other -Crest - Whitestrips
gortney 6/18/2009 7:42:00 PM
As someone who works in the dental profession, people need to be advised with using at home bleaching kits. Teeth are going to get sensitive. When you are whitening your teeth, you are opening up the enamel microscopicley (however you spell that). Because the enamel is open, when cold air gets in, it causes sensitivity. Crest whitestrips have the lowest amount of active bleach in them. If you find these sensitive, you will most likely find the ones they use at the dentist to be more so. Try rinsing with a fluoride rinse after you use the strips. And don't forget to brush your teeth after the strips to remove any bleach residue.
