Fragrances -Cartier - eau de Cartier
rated 4 of 5
laurenhockey 10/25/2007 11:17:00 PM

The fragrance has a wonderful bergamot note, the reason I bought it. It doesn't last very long however and the packaging broke. I also think it evaporates out of the bottle very quickly. I may repurchase it purely because I love the scent, but the packaging leaves much to be desired for such an expensive fragrance.

Hair Color -L'Oreal - Color Pulse [DISCONTINUED]
rated 2 of 5
laurenhockey 2/10/2006 10:25:00 AM

I bought this in the Mahogany color. The color turned out very nice. I have medium brown hair and it gave it a nice reddish hue. The only problem is that it washed completely after the second shampoo. I thought that maybe after the color faded after the first shampoo it would stop, but there is no hint of red in my hair 3 days later. It's not expensive, but it is still disappointing.

Lip Gloss -Philosophy - Cinnamon Buns Lip Shine
rated 5 of 5
laurenhockey 11/15/2005 5:02:00 PM

I hate the Philosophy people. No one is better at getting my money. I bought it just for the scent, but it's really good as a nice clear lip shine. The taste isn't exact to the 3 in 1, it's a bit more buttery, but it's certainly still lovely. I don't mind sticky glosses, they are the only kind that stay on lips. The taste is great. I love this stuff!

Self Tanners -L'Oreal - Sublime Bronze Tinted Lotion in Deep
rated 4 of 5

I accidentally bought this in deep and was prepared to be horrified by the results. Surprisingly it looked good on my pale skin. It didn't go on orange. When I didn't apply it well, it streaked, but when I rub it in all the way, it looks good. I would buy this again, maybe in a lighter shade though. Lord have mercy does it smell though.

Shave Products -Kiss My Face - Moisture Shave
rated 5 of 5

I love this stuff. It's nice to find something that is both effective and non-harmful. While $7 seems like a lot to spend on a shaving product, it lasts forever. I bought the mint. It's a very light scent and is very pleasing to shave with. It is the only shaving product that doesn't leave me feeling dried out. I'm going to try to convince my boyfriend to use it now!

Shampoo -Nature's Gate - Clary Sage Shampoo
rated 4 of 5

I love it! It's much better than other natural shampoos I have tried. The scent is wonderful and it leaves my hair very pretty. If you are interested in trying natural hair care, I would definitely try Natures gate first!

The taste is spot on and the color is perfectly natural. It just gives my lips a subtle sheen. I love the texture. I'm never without one.

Blush -Tarte - Cheek Stain Minis
rated 4 of 5
laurenhockey 9/30/2005 5:02:00 PM

The idea is really cute, they were smaller than I expected them to be, but you still get a ton of product. It's a great way to introduce yourself to the cheekstains. I loooove sugar baby and am very sad you can't get a big one. The "value" price they put on it is deceptive, I think $30 for the set is about right considering they prices of other Tarte products. I like having a variety of colors for different looks. I bought the set with blushing bride, tipsy and sugar baby.

Loose Powders -Revlon - Skinlights Face Illuminator [DISCONTINUED]
rated 5 of 5
laurenhockey 9/30/2005 4:59:00 PM

I thought it was a face powder at first, I looked like a disco ball. Used as a light highlighter, it's fantastic. I would buy it again, but I can't imagine a situation where I would ever run out. It's an everyday product for me. I bought bare light and find it to be a few natural highlight color and a great way to tone down too bright eye shadows.

Mascara -Stila - Sport Lash Visor (Black)
rated 3 of 5
laurenhockey 9/30/2005 4:56:00 PM

Nice length, great look, but boy does it smudge. I've never had a mascara smudge like this. Too bad, it doesn't flake, but I can't deal with looking like a raccoon.

Powder -Aromaleigh - Voile [DISCONTINUED]
rated 4 of 5
laurenhockey 9/30/2005 4:54:00 PM

I like it much better than BE, my face is less shiny with Voile. The color selection is very good and while it is intimidating to pick a color, I think it would be pretty hard to buy one that is way off. Overall, an excellent product. I hasn't broken me out and it doesn't leave my face greasy and melted so I give it a thumbs up!

Blush -Tarte - Tarte Cheek Stain in Tickled
rated 4 of 5
laurenhockey 9/30/2005 4:52:00 PM

Color is really nice, looks super scary, but blending makes it perfect. I do find that I sometimes over blend, as the color fades after a few minutes. It is the only blush that has ever lasted all day on me. I like Tipsy's color better, but this is really nice.

Hair Color -Clairol - Nice 'n Easy - Root Touch Up
rated 4 of 5
laurenhockey 6/5/2005 3:12:00 PM

I didn't use this to cover up roots, but rather to cover up a home highlighting disaster. It worked really well, you can't really tell I turned my hair blonde orange. I bought the medium golden brown

Concealers -Maybelline - True Illusion Concealer
rated 3 of 5
laurenhockey 12/14/2004 7:06:00 PM

Eh, I like it. I haven't really tried any other concealers. It's not fantastic but it's cheap and it does what I want it to do, so I buy it again. The color selection is a little lame though, not enough variety.

Blush -L'Oreal - Blush Delice in Raspberry Sorbet ] [DISCONTINUED]
rated 4 of 5
laurenhockey 12/14/2004 7:01:00 PM

I liked it, the color was nice and the smell was great. The only problem was the color didn't last very well. It did give me a nice hobby of continually reapplying blush. I just decided to shell out the $$ for Nars blush, now I need a new hobby.
