Polishes -Essie - Ballet Slippers

Terrible! I have no idea why this particular color/product is so popular, but it is a nightmare to work with. I have never been successful using this to paint my own nails. I have taken this to the manicurist before, and it looks a bit better, but overall, the color always streaks and looks uneven. It never goes on evenly. You have to use a ton to get even coverage, and then it looks think and clumpy. Gross! I would never spent $8 to be this unhappy with a product.

Treatments -Barielle - Nail Rebuilding Protein
rated 5 of 5
jatosch 5/27/2011 11:43:00 PM

This product is amazing! I have extremely weak, brittle nails and since using this product, I have noticed a huge difference. It fills in all the ridges in my nails and keeps them strong. I have never been able to grow out my nails before, until I started using this product. I usually put on two coats initially, then once again every other day. Also, I always find it at Marshalls for $3.99. Can't beat that price!

Fragrances -Jimmy Choo - Jimmy Choo
rated 5 of 5
jatosch 5/27/2011 11:40:00 PM

I love this perfume! My husband bought it for me, and I had no idea what it would smell like. It is the best perfume I have ever owned! It does go on a bit strong, so you really only need one spray, but that actually makes the bottle last longer. Also, considering it is Jimmy Choo, it isn't that expensive compared to other designer scents. I would definitely recommend this to other women.

Scrubs -Bath and Body Works - True Blue Spa Island Getaway Need A Margarita Citrus Body Scrub
rated 5 of 5
jatosch 1/9/2009 12:42:00 PM

This product is amazing for dry, winter months! The scrub not only exfoliates, but moisturizes as well. If you aren't looking for an oil moisturizer, this product might not work for you. However, I enjoy it because I don't need to use lotion after using the product. My boyfriend loves the scent, an added bonus! The only downside is the price, $13 for a tiny container, so use sparingly.

Toners -Origins - United State Balancing Toner
rated 1 of 5
jatosch 8/1/2008 11:35:00 AM

This toner was one of the worst I have used. It is very expensive, almost $20 for a 5oz bottle. I was hoping it would act as a weightless moisturizer, but I didn't notice an improvement at all. After using the toner twice a day for a month, without any noticeable results, I would not recommend this product. Don't let the price act as an indicator of quality, such a waste of money.

Masks -Olay - Daily Facials Deep Cleansing Clay Mask [DISCONTINUED]
rated 4 of 5
jatosch 8/1/2008 11:28:00 AM

Not a bad product for the price. I have combination skin, mainly problems in the T-zone, and I have noticed less breakouts and oiliness since using this product. I wouldn't say it works miracles, but overall, it is a good improvement to any beauty regimen.

Lip Gloss -NARS - Orgasm
rated 4 of 5
jatosch 4/5/2008 10:35:00 AM

This lip gloss is a pretty color for the day, since it is light and shear. However, it has very little color so I never wear it at night. I think the peach/pink color is a pretty combination. I usually wear it during the day, when I don't want a dark color. Also, the texture is nice, and it stays on awhile. Unlike other glosses, I don't have to continuously reapply this one. Overall, I like this product and will continue to purchase.

Blush -NARS - Orgasm Blush
rated 4 of 5
jatosch 4/5/2008 10:32:00 AM

I think this blush works well in the summer, because the shimmer looks good with a tan. However, I wouldn't recommend using it in the winter because it may look unnatural. I like blushes with coral/peach tones so I will continue using this color.

I just bought this fragrance as an alternate to my everyday perfume. It has a light, feminine scent that is very pretty and subtle. Overall, I really enjoy wearing this perfume.

Eye Shadow -Bare Escentuals - Meet the Plums
rated 5 of 5
jatosch 9/23/2007 11:26:00 PM

I love love love these colors! The combination of the plum shades work so well. At first I was worried that the colors were too similar; however, after application, I was pleasantly surprised by how well they all look together. I use the light shade as a base, the medium as a crease color, and the darkest as a liner. I have dark brown eyes, so these colors are a great compliment. I will continue buying this product.

Fragrances -Bulgari - bvlgari femme
rated 2 of 5
jatosch 7/29/2007 10:05:00 PM

I am kind of surprised that this product is so popular, since I wasn't very impressed by the scent. My boyfriend bought this for me, and I know it was expensive so I feel guilty not wearing it. However, it is not very pleasant, since it has a powdery scent that smells kind of cheap. I have previously purchased Bvlgari perfumes before, and this doesn't measure up as a high-end product. I would have expected more from this brand.

Lips -Burt's Bees - Fig Lip Shimmer
rated 5 of 5
jatosch 7/17/2007 7:38:00 PM

I love this product! I just bought this in Fig, which is a great brownish/red color. The texture goes on like a lip balm and doesn't feel too heavy. Also, it is so inexpensive! I really like this product, and I am excited to try the other colors in this line.

Eye Shadow -Rimmel - Duo -Bavarian Green
rated 2 of 5
jatosch 7/10/2007 11:01:00 AM

I would agree with several of the comments below. I bought this product as a "tester," since it was so inexpensive and I wanted to try a new color. The darker shade is a very subtle green that accents my brown eyes, but I don't even use the lighter shade because it does nothing for my skin. Also, the color does not stay on long enough, and I have to apply so much to get it to show up.

Toners -Arbonne - Toner
rated 2 of 5
jatosch 7/6/2007 6:25:00 PM

I used this product for a month and it was one of the worst toners I have tried. It leaves my combination skin feeling oily, and I would agree that it feels like film on my face. Also, I really hate the smell. However, the rest of the Arbonne line, especially the daily and night eye creams, are great.

Blush -Bare Escentuals - Mineral Blush in Beauty
rated 5 of 5
jatosch 6/21/2007 10:30:00 PM

I really like this shade of blush. It goes on much lighter than would be expected, and it has a great matte finish. Also, it doesn't take much so for the price it's a great value.
