Skincare - Body -Lancome - Aromatonic Energizing Cooling Body Smoother
missiechill 4/4/2006 10:49:00 PM
~The Lancome Aromatonic cooling body smoother with body matifying powders is actually a powder in a liquid form. Now, it does contain a little alcohol, and you may smell it when you first squirt it in your hand to rub it on your body... but give it a few minutes and the "Aromatonic", light crisp, green tea and lime citrusy scent comes through!! It is one of my personal favorites. It is very awakening & mouth watering! This product is best used during hot/ humid weather as its actually quite cooling on the skin. It also helps with body stickiness on those humid days as well. Its a very nice product and I have been using it since Lancome launched Aromotonic! Its for the body : front & back of neck / back / butt / chest / arms / ankles and legs. Not for the FACE. Lancome this one is a winner definitely! Try it girls!

Moisturizers -Lancome - Hydra Zen
missiechill 1/18/2004 9:50:00 AM
Beautiful product - I have been using this for a couple years now. Very soothing for sensitive skin, (contains rose extract) it does have a very slight rose scent. Very subtle. They have two types of this cream in the jar form: one for normal-dry skin/ and one for very dry skin. The VERY DRY cream is my personal preference for quite dry, tight skin in the dead of winter. Texture is not heavy, and very hydrating, but no heavy oily residue. Great for NIGHT! I wear mine day and night. I LOVE IT! For a lighter moisturizer for a normal-dry skin go with the regular normal-dry Hydrazen, it is less textured and lighter to apply for daytime wear. A beautiful product! Lancome this is a winner! =) Hence why it sells out during GWP time! =)

Cleansers -The Body Shop - Grapeseed Facial Wash
missiechill 1/18/2004 9:36:00 AM
BODY SHOP GRAPESEED FACIAL WASH - SUCKS! Sorry to say it.. i was VERY disappointed, it did not leave the "clean" feeling the salesgirl told me it would...and the scent was very soapy smelling and it did not foam., as it was supposed to. It irritated my eyes horribly, even when a teeny weeny got into my eyes, .....sorry Body Shop... total thumbs down for this one! Bring on another product please!!

Cleansers -Cetaphil - Gentle Skin Cleanser
missiechill 6/10/2003 3:08:00 PM
Yes this is a nice cleanser for a very sensitive skin, and it has a very light emulsion with no scent whatsoever, and does last forever!I would recommend a separate eye make up remover, as this one is not heavy enough to remove mascara or heavier eye make up. Good for a pharmacy brand.....but for me it just didn't do it - too watery & messy & does not leave that "clean" feeling to your skin!! Love the pump packaging though!

Treatments (Eye) -Clarins - Eye Contour Baume
missiechill 6/10/2003 3:04:00 PM
Clarins Eye Contour Balm - I have been using this for quite a few years off & on....very hydrating, and plant extracted-based. The texture is wonderful! A little goes a long way, and great for a normal or combination skin. If you are fairly dry, try the Clarins Eye Contour Balm "Special", which is extra hydrating to combat moisture loss around the delicate eye area for dry skin. I have tried both & LOVE THEM!! Great for the fine lines also...Beautiful light texture....comes in a tube - applies very light textured.

Eye Makeup Remover -Lancome - Bi-Facil Double Action Eye Make-up Remover
missiechill 6/10/2003 2:54:00 PM
The best PERIOD....the trick is to use a little water on a cotton makeup pad, apply your bi-facil & voila - great removal of eye makeup with a lot less oilyness!!AND your product lasts so much longer also! For the price definitely worth the money! This is one of my staples!! (Important: Oil-in-water formula So...**don't forget to shake the bottle prior to use!**)

Mascara -Lancome - Definicils Mascara
missiechill 6/10/2003 2:48:00 PM
This is THE best mascara I have ever used, i have been a faithful user for about 6 years now, and have NEVER experienced, flaking, stickiness, or dryness of the product. It lasts forever! WOW what a winner Lancome - If you are looking for separating & definition, this is the one for you - it also lengthens as well!!!! THANKS!! Black is the best. *Hey girls - PLEASE don't swap used mascaras, its gross & unsanitary and how many girls get eye infections such as pink eye!! It happened to me b/c someone told me it was a brand new unused mascara when that wasnt the case at all!~ It had been used. Even if their description says, "used once only", dont bother swapping for it, its not worth a trip to the doctor and and an antibiotic eye drop prescription! Always ask if its been "opened" or "used/tried" at all!! Happy swapping :)
