Shampoo -Batiste - Dry Shampoo
kiwibop 2/21/2011 2:24:00 AM
I have only found one place that sells this product, which is a bit frustrating because I love this. When I first saw the size of the bottle I was really worried that I wouldn't get many uses out of it and the price bothered me, too. The price is cheaper then other dry shampoos out there. I have gotten many uses from my first bottle. I was worried that I would have trouble with the product being white and I having dark hair, but I have had no trouble. I like how I have to barely press the nozzle to get the product onto my hair and I only need to use a few sprays. I have the type of hair that gets too oily after 24 hours and this product is great. It dries very quickly for me and as long as I brush it out well my hair looks how it looks once it dries after being washed. That's what really gets me and I love it.

Styling Products -TRESemme - Waterless Foam Shampoo for Dry/Curly to Normal Hair
kiwibop 2/21/2011 2:14:00 AM
I got this just in case I didn't like their dry shampoo. I don't like either. It doesn't make my hair do what it says on the bottle that it will do. I have tried using this, following the instructions closely, several times and each time I have ended up getting in the shower and just washing my hair. It's not for me.

Styling Products -TRESemme - Fresh Start Dry Shampoo for Oily/Straight to Normal Hair
kiwibop 2/21/2011 2:10:00 AM
What a disappointment. This product is too wet to be an effective dry shampoo. It takes longer then it should to dry and once it dries I can't get the white to fade. It ends up making my hair look worse. Save your money.

Cleansers -Ponds - Deep Cleanser Cold Cream
kiwibop 2/21/2011 2:02:00 AM
I decided to try this product because I was at my wits end dealing with my skin issues. I felt that I was following the correct guidelines for my skin type, but I wasn't getting the results I wanted. I kept hearing that I shouldn't use anything with mineral oil in it, but I finally got fed up and tried this. I woke up in the morning and was shocked to see that I finally didn't wake up to another new pimple. I used only this for awhile and was happy to be able to feel comfortable not wearing makeup. I have tried both the products with the light green lid and the darker green lid (has a cucumber on it). The cucumber one isn't greasy and looks and feels like a lotion. My skin prefers the greasier light green original one, as long as I remove it gently and don't press too hard trying to remove it completely.

Powder -MAC - Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation
kiwibop 2/21/2011 1:44:00 AM
I finally caved and decided to give MAC a try. I bought the powder in NC25. I didn't like how it sat on my face at first, but I used the face brush from Sonia Kashuk (white handle) and it was just too fluffy for this type of thing. Using that brush I didn't get good coverage or a good texture. I tried it again using a more dense brush from Ecotools and loved what I saw. This product is build-able and looks great once it settles down on my face. I was worried that I would hit pan pretty quickly, but it has been a few months and I'm still on my first compact.

Makeup Brushes -E.L.F. - Studio Powder Brush

This brush is a winner. It's soft and works great with both a powder and the tinted moisturizer spf 20 from ELF. I'm surprised I lived so long without one. The price is unbeatable for me.

Treatments -E.L.F. - Nourishing Cuticle Pen
kiwibop 2/21/2011 1:26:00 AM
I was worried when I saw this and thought that the product would have trouble coming out. I found that the pen didn't dry up during application, but the feel of it was just as you would guess (like a rough marker). I don't like the smell of this product once it dries.

Blush -Physicians Formula - Happy Booster™ Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in Natural
kiwibop 2/21/2011 1:20:00 AM
I had heard before buying this product that this shade was pretty pigmented, but I still was skeptical. Looking at both shades at CVS I was tempted to go with the other shade, but decided to go with Natural instead. It shows up nicely on my NC25 complexion and provides a beautiful pink glow. I love the hearts and the smell reminds me of roses.

Pressed Powders -Physicians Formula - Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Powder in Translucent
kiwibop 2/21/2011 1:12:00 AM
I was worried that I wouldn't get much use out of this product because I thought it would be too glittery and make me appear too shiny. This product provides a nice subtle glow that looks really pretty actually. The product is very cute and the scent isn't too strong, which I like.

This went on very easily because it is so greasy. The smell was a major disappointment. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Eyeliner -Rimmel - Glam Eyes Professional Liquid Liner

I would not recommend this product. The liner itself is too watery. The brush is very small. It removed easily with water. There are better liners out there.

Lipstick -Rimmel - Lasting Finish - Airy Fairy
kiwibop 4/13/2010 10:05:00 PM
I'm pleasantly surprised by this lipstick. A really pretty pink shade with a subtle gold color mixed within it. Smells like candy. Goes on smoothly. Not really long wearing. The tube up close isn't too bad being a dark purple , but from far away it's a bit ugly. I'll most likely repurchase. The only thing I really didn't like was that this product isn't sealed, so I would suggest checking the tube before putting it in your cart/basket.

Skincare - Face -Clinique - 3 Step System
kiwibop 3/4/2006 12:41:00 AM
I tried these products after having a bad experience with Proactiv. The lady at the counter decided to start me out on #4, but later I also tried #5 since it wasn't working. I don't remember it ever being drying. In the end, these products didn't work at all. The lady at the counter actually told me that there was a chance that it wouldn't even work. She ended up being right. Oh well.

Skincare - Face -Pro Activ - 3-Step System
kiwibop 3/4/2006 12:21:00 AM
I hated this. It made me more oily. The free mask that they gave me smelled terrible. The product smelled pretty bad, too. I remember becoming very red. When I cancelled my subscription the person was really rude. I used Proactiv for over a year and it didn't work at all. Not to mention that it's very expensive.

Scrubs -St. Ives - Apricot Scrub Blemish and Blackhead Control
kiwibop 2/24/2006 12:33:00 AM
I use to use this on a daily basis and found that at first it cleared up my face better then other products that I had previously used, but I did find that on occasions that I had severe breakouts this did nothing to help reduce them quicker. I took a break and later tried to use it again and found that I was breaking out after using it. I made sure that it was actually this that was causing the breakouts and unfortunately found that if the product had been sitting around for a few months that if I used it, my skin went crazy afterwards. So I definitely learned a lesson there. The texture of the product itself was more coarse then fine and when massaging it on the face I had to be very, very gentle.
