Lip Gloss -MAC - Chromeglass in Uberpeach
melmelby 1/19/2006 7:53:00 PM
My short and sweet review: Love this! This has such a nice texture, very SMOOTH and not a bit sticky. The color is great, I'll love it when I get a little tan. Will have to stock up on these chromeglasses!

Lipstick -Clinique - Colour Surge Butter Shine Lipstick
melmelby 11/1/2005 7:52:00 PM
I don't see what all the fuss is about. Just another lipstick, woo-hoo. Cute package, but after having it, that's the only appeal it has for me anymore.

Skincare - Body -Victoria's Secret - garden line- ultra softening body butter- any scents
melmelby 10/2/2005 8:50:00 AM
I got two of these, Strawberries and Champagne and Forever Romance. I really like the texture. The butter is very firm, but melts right into your skin. I have VERY dry skin, thanks to the arrid climate in which I live, but this stuff does the trick without feeling greasy at all. The fragrances are ok, I always find VS fragrances somewhat overpowering, but they do not last long so I will be able to handle it. My question, why don't some of these companies offer an unscented version? BBW and VS specifically? I do not use their fragrances, and I can't mix some of their lotions/creams that are heavily fragranced with my favorites. More people would use the items if they had an unscented version.

Lotions/ Creams -Arbonne - NutriMin C Body Serum and Lotion
melmelby 8/27/2005 10:59:00 AM
Of all of the Arbonne I have tried, I think I like this product the best. First you apply a serum, then the lotion. The serum soaks in quickly, and the lotion is rich and creamy but not greasy. Sometimes I don't want to take the time to go over myself twice with the two products, then I just something else, like Body Shop butter. I like the fragrance of the Nutrimen C products, kind of orangey. The bad thing about this stuff is that it costs $75 if you purchase them separately, but I got mine as a set , a "purchase with purchase" for about $20 when I boughtt a bunch of other Arbonne stuff. I will not be continuing their face line, Obagi seems to be actually DOING something for my skin.

Conditioner -Rusk - Sensories Smoother Leave-in Conditioner
melmelby 8/27/2005 10:52:00 AM
What a waste! Only good thing about it is that I was able to buy it at Costco on the cheap. Now I have a liter of it that I will never use. Maybe I will try it on my toddler's long hair. It didn't do a thing for me!

Lip Gloss -Bath and Body Works - Tutti Dolci - Angel food cake
melmelby 8/27/2005 10:33:00 AM
LOVE this gloss! Smells and tastes wonderful! I went to BBW the other day to buy some more, but it had been discontinued in this flavor, boo-hoo! Some dear soul was offering them on ebay, so I did replenish my stash. The flavor is what keeps me coming back. Nice shimmer. I wish the applicator end wasn't round, I like the angled ones better.

I bought the Peach gloss. Smells and tastes really like peaches gone bad. Nice lightweight feel and shimmer, but just can't handle the peach. Maybe I will try another flavor...

Lotions/ Creams -Burt's Bees - Beeswax & Banana Hand Creme
melmelby 8/27/2005 10:24:00 AM
Smells ok, greasy feeling, doesn't work as well as some cheaper creams, I won't waste my money again. Also, the jar was inconvenient.

If I wanted some menthol chapstick, I would have bought it at the checkout at Walmart. Thick, smelly, won't use again.

Powder -Philosophy - complete me
melmelby 8/27/2005 10:10:00 AM
Hate this stuff! First of all, even though I am a warm skin tone, the cool one was the one that looked to be the right color. Secondly, I look like I am wearing a mask. Thick almost greasy powder. Seems contradictory to call that a powder, but I don't know what else it would be. If you are going to use powder makeup, I would suggest Bare Minerals or Jane Iredale instead.

Lotions/ Creams -Philosophy - time on your hands
melmelby 8/27/2005 10:04:00 AM
Not to be applied if you want a fragrance booster! The medicinal smell doesn't bother me. I kind of like the ozone nuance it has. Meant to be used as an overnight treatment, but I use it all day. For the price and quantity, I prefer Vanicream. Not a treatment but moisturizer. Cheap and feels great!
