Shampoo -Batiste - Dry Shampoo
hellokitty05 2/3/2013 1:26:00 AM
This is the only dry shampoo I've continually gone back and bought time and time again but this is where it gets annoying, I feel like I'm forever buying cans of this stuff because it runs out so fast. I use this twice a week if that and only on my fringe (bangs) I get a brush and lift the hair and spray on the roots. I don't cover my whole scalp or all of my head. Just the front section so it isn't a big area yet I'm constantly needing to buy can after can. It does a great job and I prefer the original over the coloured spray. I have dry ends and I have once or twice sprayed all over and it's made my dry ends SUPER dry. I'm traveling to the US (from Australia) next month and picked up the Oscar Blandi pronto dry shampoo in the bottle with the twist off cap. I thought I might have a better chance of bringing it on board with me as aerosol cans are banned on board and I want to freshen my hair after a 12 hour flight. I will write a review on that after I have used it to see how it compares.

Self Tanners -St.Tropez - St.Tropez Tinted Self Tanning Mousse/Whipped Bronze
hellokitty05 6/3/2012 7:03:00 AM
I got the biggest fright when the foam came out of the bottle. It's brown & green! But then that made complete sense since green based tans IMO are the best. You dont look like you rolled around in Nacho Cheese Doritos. I'm on the fence with this, as much as it has awesome strong points in my opinion it fails in certain areas. I still prefer a good old spray tan but they can get expensive so I try to save those for special occasions. Good points - Holy crap, it's fast drying like insanely fast but yet I still feel sticky. The first night I applied it without a glove and had dark brown hands. I scrubbed as much off with soap pumped onto a baby wipe but by then the tan had set. The next morning I showered and here's where a bad point comes in - it seemed to completely wash off. By the end of the day I was back to my pale self so I have reapplied tonight. I do like the color - what I saw of it - as I didn't get a chance to see it in natural light since it pretty much came off in the shower that morning. Not impressed with the $40 price tag (for the small bottle) in comparison to the staying power. I think the bigger bottle was $60. I'm not sure if that's the criminal price Australia charges but if it is significantly cheaper in the US I'll be getting future bottle from there. I'm going to use the whole bottle up and make a decision as to whether I would buy it again but for now I'll say I like it more than I hate it. EDIT* So I'm not really a fan because of the need to reapply more frequently. If it had better staying power it'd be the messiah of all fake tans. It fades way TOO fast and I find that irritating. Ugh.

Eyes -Ardell - Brow & Lash Growth Accelerator Treatment Gel
hellokitty05 11/28/2011 5:40:00 AM
this is my 2nd tube over a few years in between. I originally bought this as recommended from my makeup fanatic friend/beauty therapist. First go this blew me away, I got instantly SOFT thick lashes. I'll never forget applying this onto my lashes and feeling the difference as I brushed the wand through and I'll never forget brushing mascara on my lashes and saying under my breath "I'll be shitballs, this actually works" it WORKS. That's it. Simple. The thing was I never maintained the lash gel, I would forget and then end up throwing the tube out because it had alot of my mascara in the tube - I obviously didnt wipe all my mascara off properly. Fast forward I did the whole lash extensions for $200, fake lashes with illegal strong glue from Korea and then one day I was at my beauty therapist and she talked me into buying Priori's lash growth. It cost me $100 so I had high hopes. Tried it for 2 months and nothing. Lashes still the same. Then something jogged my memory and I went searching for this online. I read the reviews on here and remembered from experience that it did work for me so I bought it. This time around the growth cycle was slower, I dont know why but here I am 3 months later and my lashes are long and thick. This is an awesome product which I will continue to use for as long as I can.

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Kim Kardashian
hellokitty05 5/29/2011 3:29:00 AM
what the hell is this! I know why Kim made this fragrance... she thought we were dummies, we'd go out and by it and repel men so then she could run off and wear something better smelling than this sh&t and leave all of us for dead. This is man repellent at its finest and I'm sure it'd kill bugs too. I was on a perfume shopping spree one lovely day and decided to spray this on my wrist. It knocked me to the ground to the point where one of the sales assistance's laughed at me from her counter. Of course it stayed on my skin for days so anything else I tried after this would counteract this fragrance. This is where I shake my head in disbelief that someone who is gorgeous and dresses so well (thank you money and stylists) can make this... I saw in an interview that she said this took her 2 years to make... give me 5 minutes and i'll come out with something that you'd only smell in Heaven.

Lip Gloss -Sally Hansen - Diamond Lip Treatment - ALL colours
hellokitty05 5/28/2011 12:01:00 AM
I wanted to try this for a long time because the colour "twinkle" looked like an exact match of MAC's Dazzleglass "babysparks" unfortunately it was $18.95 at my local drugstore (Australia) so I let it go but I was at the mall the other day and found it at my discount drugstore for $7.95 and bought it. I actually really like it. In the tube it's quite a candy pink but applied it's very sheer with sparkles. I'd buy it again - at the discounted price - because it looks good. Especially layered over some of the pink lipsticks I own.

Lip Treatments -Maybelline - Baby Lips lip balm
hellokitty05 2/26/2011 5:24:00 AM
its a lip balm. Its no miracle product. my lips are peeling at the moment and so I thought this might help. Yes, lips are moisturized but I still got peeling lips. The packaging is cute, pretty to look at and have in my makeup bag. I actually think I prefer vaseline over this lol. I know vaseline is quite greasy and slippery but i feel that it does a better job conditioning my lips.

Highlighters -Revlon - Age Defying Spa Face Illuminator in Gold Light
hellokitty05 1/4/2011 12:15:00 AM
Man! I love this!!!! I bought this today from my local Target (Australia) for $30 and I am NOT sorry I did. My YSL Touche Eclat pen is going on hiatus for the minute cuz this is the SHIT!. Now IMO this is pretty much the skinlights range reborn in smaller packaging with a brush. It gives my skin the most awesome glow without being hideously shiney or plastic looking. I applied this over tinted moisturizer but I cant wait to mix it in with my foundation or even highlight my face and then apply pressed powder. This is a MUST HAVE. PS - I didn't get it in gold light, I have bare light.

Powder -Bare Escentuals - Bare Minerals ALL
hellokitty05 12/28/2010 8:42:00 PM
this stuff is shit! crap, horrible, awful, gross, ick, disgusting, wrong.... the list goes on. It is suppose to be natural and good for your skin but bahahahahaha as soon as I put it on my skin ITCHES like crazy. It also makes my skin feel tight and dry which is so annoying when you're out and all you want to do is scratch your face to pieces. On my skin personally it does NOT cover blemishes it enhances them. It gives off a mask like/unblended completely un-natural look. Also, I find during that if I have redness on my face then the foundation goes "grey/dark" in those areas of redness. Its just so wrong on all levels. I will never buy it again I dont care how good it is for your skin.

Mascara -Maybelline - Lash Stiletto
hellokitty05 11/14/2010 4:23:00 AM
this product is annoying cuz it's just so wrong. I have long lashes and it does define the length but it doesnt go ahead and add extra length. I'm not even going to write anymore about this so please believe when I say it is CRAP. Thank God I got this free with Instyle magazine. I will never buy this ever. I'll stick to my Colossal mascara thank you.

Highlighters -NYX - Mosaic Powder Highlighter
hellokitty05 11/5/2010 9:37:00 PM
I have tried them all and when I mean all I mean from Chanel and back again. This stuff is A-MAZ-ING! I'd give it 100 stars if I could. Its a great highlighter without the glitter. Its cheap and easy to use. Nothing more to say other than BRILLIANT.

Other -Supersmile - SuperSmile Toothpaste
hellokitty05 8/15/2010 6:41:00 AM
Ok, before I buy a product that has high claims I generally come on here and read the reviews before I make the final decision to buy. Alot of the time I agree with what people do say so I was quite nervous that after buying this toothpaste and before actually using it that it was going to be a disappointment due to the mixed reviews. I was so so WRONG. I got this toothpaste on Friday it is now Sunday and have used it as per the directions morning and night on a dry brush and my teeth are DEF whiter! What usually takes months with Colgate whitening or brush on whitener has given me better results in a matter of days! I'm so floored at how this worked for me. It truly delivered, nothing ever does for me. I drink Chai lattes everyday, pepsi once a week, my teeth were never white but they are now. It's expensive as is everything in Australia but as long as it protects my teeth and maintains the whiteness then I will continue to buy regardless of the $40 price tag. If you are on the fence about buying this I say go for it.

Mascara -ModelCo - Fiberlash
hellokitty05 8/13/2010 8:32:00 PM
HOLY SHIT!!!! THIS IS F*KING AMAZING!! after applying this mascara I sat in front of my mirror shocked and saying "well I'll be damned, this shit really works" I can honestly say that I have found the holy grail of mascara and I have tried them ALL. CHANEL, YSL, DIOR, MAYBELLINE, ALMAY, AVON, MAX FACTOR. This blows everything out of the water. I'm going to try it with my Shiseido mascara base but I applied it as per the instructions on the box - one sweep of the mascara, a sweep of the fibers and then a generous amount of the mascara again. I'm so scared this will be discontinued so next pay day I'm buying 5 of these and putting them away. I never ever do this but Im writing to ModelCo to let them know that hit the jackpot. xx

Eye Shadow -NYX - White
hellokitty05 2/24/2010 11:38:00 PM
ick, too sheer for my liking, I may need to try applying it wet to get a more stronger colour payoff. I wont be repurching this since it is so sheer and I already have a few highlighter colors (MAC's Vanilla pigment) and I bought this shadow for a high contrast black and white smoky eye look. The packaging is cute - reminds me of Chanel.

Lipstick -MAC - Saint Germain (amplified creme)
hellokitty05 2/12/2010 6:49:00 AM
holy sh*t! this is AWESOME! i'm completely in love with this insane pastel baby barbie pink. It's nuts! I was online looking at the MAC lipstick colour swatch chart through the nordstroms website and I found colours I liked depending on the swatch I saw andthen proceeded to get a more accurate colour through google images. How I missed this one I do not know! I went to my local MAC counter today and I completely forgot about all the other colours I wanted to try cuz this one completely took over. It is intense and out there but it looks really good. I'm in experimental phase at the moment and would probably wear fluro yellow lipstick if I could so I just hope that my mood doesn't change and I look back and go "what the heck was I thinking" with this lipstick. It's extremely opaque and pastel almost chalk like but there's nothing wrong with that. Now I'll say one thing and this is the only downfall - i find it makes my teeth yellow. I have pretty white teeth (I whiten them and dont smoke or drink coffee) so i'll take off one lippie. Woot! go St Germain!
