Foundations -Boots - No7 True Identity Foundation
lauriebeth 10/29/2010 3:05:00 AM
I like this even though I don't like thick formulas, but it glides on dark, & morphs into a natural look. No breakouts, so I'll continue to use this. Don't be afraid of the dark color, or thick texture, it works, but very sheer cover.

Highlighters -Boots - No7 High Lights Illuminating Lotion
lauriebeth 10/29/2010 2:57:00 AM
Not sure if this is going to be in their line much longer as I found it deeply discounted(bought the last two on shelf). I've used it for a few years & love the results- I mix alittle with tinted moisturizer, or foundation- maybe a dab above my eyebrows, & it blends well, isn't shocking if a dab is used, & price is right. I've had high beam & it was too drying, too expensive. If you see it, buy it- recommended. When I skip this I notice I look washed out & way old.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Telescopic
lauriebeth 10/10/2010 4:45:00 AM
This is not something I would use again. I got very stiff, straight out lashes with this. It also had no staying power. My lashes were dry & crunchy after one wear. I like other L'Oreal mascara, but this is not one of them.

Fragrances -Givenchy - Organza Indecence 
lauriebeth 4/22/2010 5:11:00 PM
The reissued bottle is plain-alot like Hanae Mori Butterfly- But it doesn't fall over like older bottle. They have improved on this slightly, no more powdery drydown, holds up for hours, but almost same top notes. I love that I can wear this for day or night- never offends anyone. I keep using daily even through I have alot of other options to choose from. I gave packaging 4 as it is improvement on old version, but not special. This isn't floral at all, so those that love florals should pass.

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Olive Oil as Serum for Hair
lauriebeth 10/5/2008 4:14:00 PM
The expensive serums out there are no better than this. The smell is awlful, but it fades. I only apply to the ends of my hair, & aliitle on palms for flyaways to smooth. Once in awhile I use it to coat my hair from nape down before shampooing to protect it, esp if using anti-residue shampoo.

Eyeliner -Ulta - automatic eyeliner
lauriebeth 10/5/2008 3:51:00 PM
I've never had alot of luck with eyeliner, but this does the job-easy to use & lasts all day. I line my top inner lash line & it works as well as Wicked, but at 1/5 the cost. I wear contacts & no issues there. Give this a try.

Treatments -Organix - Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum
lauriebeth 9/26/2008 2:36:00 PM
Compared to the more expensive serums this is wonderful. I've tried them all & the only difference between this & salon products is the price. Also, the shampoo/conditioner works great on my hair-straight/fine/long. Recently tried the mousse & it didn't dry out my ends like most do. This line is impressing me, & I'm very cautious with what I put on my hair.

Gels/Soaps -Dove - Nutrium Moisturizing Bar
lauriebeth 9/21/2008 3:15:00 AM
I have used this for a few years now-on my face, & I can't find anything as good for my skin. I have combination skin, sensitive, few fine lines around eyes. Why spend alot of bucks when this works, simple. My M.D. even asked me what products I use, he said it seems to work, keep it up.

Fragrances -Ralph Lauren - Notorious
lauriebeth 9/15/2008 12:50:00 AM
Very pleased...It is a heavy fall scent, alot like Safari toned down, & much improved. The top note isn't as pleasant as the dry down, so it settles well. Not a day scent, but I'll be wearing this afterhours all fall/winter.

Fragrances -Ralph Lauren - Safari for Women
lauriebeth 8/30/2008 3:21:00 AM
I miss it, BUT I just got a sample of Notorious(new Lauren scent), & it is very similar. So much that I'm thinking they used Safari as a base,turned it up, gave it a little sassy name, & seems new.

Skincare - Body -Victoria's Secret - garden line- ultra softening body butter- any scents
lauriebeth 7/30/2008 2:41:00 AM
For the price this is great. I took advise of the VS girl & used the lotion & then butter on top for the drier areas. I keep going back to this esp when I need extra moisture. My only complaint is it can smell waxy if I use it alone, need to layer it with lotion or cream.

Polishes -OPI - Bubble Bath
lauriebeth 6/17/2008 12:37:00 AM
Been using this for a few years, & keep going back to it. The color is great when I'm tan, but I don't attempt it in winter. It does need 2-3 coats to look great, but it's worth the time, as it will last a week easily. I've gone through a dozen bottles, so I guess it's my favorite.

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Victoria
lauriebeth 6/12/2008 1:40:00 AM
Really miss Victoria. The only good scent they have had. I "like" a few of the garden ones, but none of the perfume compares to Victoria. Once in awhile I catch whiff of someone wearing something similar, but nothing exactly like it.

Polishes -Essie - Mod Squad
lauriebeth 6/11/2008 6:14:00 AM
Love this pink when I have deep tan, color looks great on toes with dark brown sandles. Strange but true story- I had a traffic cop in downtown Chicago yell at me to come closer for a look at my toes(during 5P/M rush)-can be seen through crowds, so if you want to be bold go for this one.
