Fragrances -Tom Ford - Black Orchid Finishing Oil
nadinejolie 9/6/2010 10:58:00 AM
Every Tom Ford fragrance is glamorous and delicious, but this body oil is in a league of its own: it's incredibly musky and animalistic! It's even sexier than the EDP (which also smells excellent) and is my go-to date perfume.

Styling Products -Unlisted Brand - LiQWD - Professional Volumizing Catalyst
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 9:32:00 PM
Hands down, my all-time favorite volumizing product (and I have tried them all). I spritz both at the roots and all over the hair and then blow dry, and the end result is mega volume: like, Brigitte Bardot-meet-Catherine Deneuve sex volume! Highly recommend.

Cleansers -Nude Skincare - Cleansing Facial Oil
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 9:29:00 PM
One of my all-time favorite skincare products! Removes all dirt, oil and makeup, won't make skin breakout, has a great, soft smell, and is free of nasty ingredients and chemicals. Love it.

Eyeliner -Bare Escentuals - Buxom Insider Eyeliner In Onyx
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 9:28:00 PM
Great liner! I have very pale eyes with no natural definition at the lash line, so I'm always searching for the perfect black liner. This is my absolute favorite - it glides on easily and doesn't smudge. Plus, it's excellent for lining both the top and the bottom/inside. A winner!

Lip Gloss -Bare Escentuals - buxom lipgloss in Kanani
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 9:26:00 PM
Such a pretty pink lip gloss, and with plumping power! One of my all-time favorites. (All of the BE Buxom glosses are great, btw. This just happens to be my favorite shade.)

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 9:24:00 PM
A great little mascara -- especially excellent considering it's drugstore! Lengthens and thickens without clumping, and is honestly as good as anything you'd find at the department store (with the exception of Lancome).

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 9:23:00 PM
Terrible, terrible mascara. The general obsession over this mascara almost makes me angry! It goes on like water, does absolutely nothing, and is a waste of money. The only circumstance under which I'd recommend it is if you have false lashes -- in that case, it'll give you a nice extra boost. Otherwise, skip it.

Sunscreen -Arcona - Reozone SPF 40
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 9:21:00 PM
God, I love this product so much! It's my favorite sunscreen -- has SPF 40, plus antioxidants, and is tinted. It sops up quickly, don't get greasy, and is just the slightest sheer tint. It's perfection.

Treatments -Clean & Clear - Persagel 10
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 9:20:00 PM
Fastest and best way to beat a zit, hands down. It's 10% benzoyl peroxide, so works within a day. Dab just a bit -- if you use too much, you'll dry out the surrounding areas of your skin.

Palettes -NARS - Wild At Heart Palette 9953
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 9:19:00 PM
I love this palette, but I do find some of the reviews on here about it illuminating. The shadows are excellent--fairly neutral, great for mixing and matching, and the dark black is a pure black that's perfect for a smokey eye. The lip glosses, meanwhile, are a bit too dark for me. The Orgasm blush and the multiple are musts. The reason I love this palette so much is because I can take it on the road with me and I basically have everything I need: I can do a day or night look, have my cheeks/illuminator ready-to-go, and because the lip glosses *are* so intense, can play up my look even further. All in all, I think it's a great buy.

Cleansers -Neutrogena - Oil-Free Acne Wash
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 5:13:00 PM
This is my secret-weapon anti-acne product. I'm a little baffled that it doesn't have higher reviews, because it works like gangbusters for me...but I guess different people's complexions react in different ways. I don't find it too harsh, but I also have very oily skin. It keeps my skin zit-free, smooth and clear. Love it.

Polishes -OPI - I'm Not Really A Waitress
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 5:11:00 PM
God, OPI really has the cutest names, don't they? All the raves about this product are spot on: it's the perfect shade of red (a little plummy), looks excellent on all complexions, and is beloved for a reason. Get it! You'll love!

Conditioner -Terax - Crema
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 5:10:00 PM
This used to be my all-time favorite conditioner, but I haven't used it in years...not really sure why. It's great for hydrating and resuscitating damaged, broken hair, and is very easy to comb through. All-in-all, not the absolute best intensive on the market, but a very solid workhorse.

Misc Beauty Tools -Shiseido - Eyelash Curler
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 4:52:00 PM
I love this eyelash curler! Shu Uemura gets all the hype, but Shiseido's is much better for asian or almond-shaped eyes. It picks up all the lashes and lasts for years. Love it!

Mascara -Lancome - Hypnose
nadinejolie 8/31/2010 4:50:00 PM
Lancome makes the best mascaras on the market and this is one of their most popular, best-performing offerings. Hypnose gives you big, fat, crazy plump lashes with little clumping. My only complaint is that it's a little goopy at times. Still, it's one of the top mascaras out there.
