Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous mascara 
jlau 7/24/2007 3:10:00 AM
I had high hopes for the Voluminous mascara, I actually wanted to purchase the Maybelline's Full n' Soft but the store did not carry it so i went for the next best thing as it seems on this forum. First of all, I thought there was too much product in the bottle which is a bad thing because it was quite liquidly and wet when applied on. My lashes were heavy and weighed down, i thought the product was extreamly clumpy and so i had to run out and buy a Tweezerman eyelash comb (which works great) to fix the problem.

Self Tanners -Dove - Dove Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer with subtle Self Tanners - Medium [DISCONTINUED]
jlau 7/13/2007 6:00:00 AM
I purchased the Dove Energy Glow a few days ago and i could say i am pleased with the results so far on my body. I bought it for $7.65CDN, i thought the package could be more convient if it was in a squirt option in which i have read in previous reviews that it was sold but i could not find. I dont understand why the top is wider than the bottom and how this could benefit. The product was a lotion like formula when squeezed out but when applyed on to the body is diluted into a more water base formula which spread quit well on the skin. How ever i experienced some stickyness after application; even after an hour of air drying and i felt a bit slimy when i took a shower at night from the lotion? The color looked nice on my skin after the second day on my natural light tan skin color, how ever i thought it might look a bit too orangy on someone who is more fair toned.

Lotions/ Creams -Olay - Moisturinse in shower body lotion-extra dry skin
jlau 2/14/2006 11:14:00 PM
I got a sample of this with the purchase of another Olay product. The first time i used it, i thought it smelled great, very clean and fresh but with a hint of purfume i guess. The idea of a in shower body lotion sounded like a great way to save time but this didn't seem to moisturize very well. After rinsing after applying it on, it looked like my skin was waterproof because the lotion wasn't soaking in. I enjoyed the scent but i would not repurschase this because it was not a good moisturizer and the packaging would be better if it were a pump.

Sunscreen -L'Oreal - Ombrelle SPF 30
jlau 1/7/2006 7:27:00 AM
I decied to give this a try since some people said this was a good sunscreen compare to the coppertone sunscreen. I do agree that the Ombrelle is a slight better because there were no strong smell; maybe a fint frag but i was disapointed when even when the bottle said it was oil free i thought it was quite oily on my skin and i have normal skin. I look shiny on hot days wearing this! I had to put powder foundation over to decrese the shinyness. Also i found that the sunscreen became quite liquidly over time even when keep in room temperture.

Misc Beauty Tools -Crest - Crest Premium Plus

I am on my 3rd day of using the Crest Premium Plus and I must say, they were not kidding about being able to see results within 3 days. I am happy with the results so far-although I did sense some irratation towards my gums on the third day of using the strips. The strips sticked onto my teeth better when i dry my teeth with a tissue. When I closed my mouth, I had to carfully pulled both my top and bottom lips over the teeth to prevent the strips from sliding out of place. It is also difficult to have a conversation; more or less to even speak. I had to constantly slurp my syliva to prevent myself from drooling! I know the package is directed to require to leave the strips on for half an hour but I wonder if it does anything if I leave them on longer and if it'll will help to improve whitening. I thought this was a good tempory whitening product for the teeth of "18 months" compared to the dentise treatment cost, but i thought the packaging was a waste of money. It seems like alot of our money was spent on the packaging. We really don't need the big plastic box or indiviual wraps, such a waste of product that could be used wisly.

This product smells super delicious! I just want to eat it! ( taste horrible lol ) It does lighten the stretch marks on my inner thighs! and it moistures my skin and dry on fast. The bottle could use a change tho, i think a tub style would be more easy accessablie. Its also quite thick but over all i would purchase again!!
