Styling Products -TRESemme - Fresh Start Dry Shampoo for Oily/Straight to Normal Hair
onegoodcat 5/2/2013 7:14:00 PM
Man, this is horrible. I was hoping that I could use this as a cheaper substitute than Batiste, but I just can't. It makes my hair feel disgusting, very thick and heavy. It leaves this gunky residue on it. The white overcast is never an issue because I know how to clear it up, but the product itself just does not work well with my hair. Batiste is the best dry shampoo I have tried.

Lipstick -Wet 'n' Wild - Mega Matte 907C Mauve Outta Here
onegoodcat 4/13/2013 12:23:00 AM
Such a beautiful color. It's more of a bright pink on me, but with warm undertones. I love love love this shade, and it's really flattering on me. It's a sexy color. These lipsticks are awesome--very pigmented. All you need is one layer and the color is so saturated. Apply a little balm before applying the lipstick, and you'll have a very smooth application. This way the finish looks matte, but with some beautiful, subtle shine at the same time.

Lipstick -Revlon - Super Lustrous Lipstick - Rosewine
onegoodcat 4/6/2013 3:55:00 AM
It is not fair to give this a bad review if it wasn't right for your skin. Just because the color did not work for your skintone does not make it a bad product. Light frosty pinks look bad on me but I wouldn't rate it badly because I know that color works with other people's complexions. Rosewine came on me just the way it is advertised. So to the reviewer below me: Lipsticks do not look the same on everyone because it depends on the skin tone. Anyway, the color was great with my complexion. It wasn't "rusty orange." It was more of a red wine on my lips, but it depends on the lighting and color of clothes you are wearing. Sometimes this can look like a dark coral with a very deep red mixed in...I feel like this would look nice on certain blondes or redheads. The product is very creamy! It is such a fabulous lipstick. Love love love.

Eyeliner -E.L.F. - Liquid Eyeliner - Black
onegoodcat 4/6/2013 3:43:00 AM
It doesn't take too long to dry on me. And I just apply lipstick or something while waiting for it to dry. It also did not crack or flake. I really love this liner! It is so smooth and it is so easy for me to form a thin line. I hate liners that come on too thick. You can build up from there too. The formula is so smooth and seriously lasts all day for me! Does not smudge or leave marks on the top of my lid. It is so cheap! I feel like an old Hollywood movie star with this liner on. So glam! Oh, and please don't go straight to applying when opening the cap. Remove the excess product off the brush tip first. Common sense, people.

Misc Beauty Tools -E.L.F. - Studio Makeup Mist & Set Spray
onegoodcat 4/6/2013 3:37:00 AM
I really think that this makes my makeup look fresh and last longer. I don't know if water would just give the same effects, but this works for me, so I am going to keep on repurchasing it. Good job, E.L.F.!

Brows -Essence - Brow Designer
onegoodcat 4/6/2013 3:33:00 AM
Best brow pencil ever. It made my eyebrows look fabulous. It isn't too waxy like other brow pencils. It is so easy to make light strokes. The little brush that comes intact with it helps a lot and softens out the pencil lines to make them look natural. Good job, Essence! So far I am satisfied with their products, which I just started seeing at the grocery store (I'm from the U.S. and never heard of the brand before). Seriously, this brow pencil is superior.

Pressed Powders -Essence - All About Matt Fixing Compact Powder
onegoodcat 4/6/2013 3:23:00 AM
O.M.G. this stuff is superior! I apply it over my foundation with a powder brush. It's the best thing to apply it with. My makeup did not need touching up all day! Wow! The only thing I used during the day was E.L.F.'s mist spray. And like another reviewer said, any shine that developed later on just appeared dewy and it was after several hours. My skin looked flawless. I was previously using Neutrogena's powder, which was good. This one is better though. My skin looked great all day, which is a miracle because I have very oily spots and dry spots that make my powder look caky, and even worse when I touch up. Seriously, I am so glad I found this. It is cheap and is the best powder I ever used. Yes, even better than MAC (horrible on my skin), Origins, Shiseido...I love love love this powder. I couldn't stop looking in the mirror. It even kept my eyeshadow from creasing.

Deodorants -Unlisted Brand - Mitchum Power Gel
onegoodcat 2/20/2013 6:53:00 PM
Ok, let me first say that no deodorant ever works for me anymore. Nothing can combat my armpit odor. NOTHING. I even tried the clinical strength versions--didn't work. There was still a hint of armpit odor. So I saw this has 25% of the active ingredient, whereas others only have 18-19%. I have worn it for about 5 days and wow, no odor! Throughout the day it was a little sticky but it stopped being sticky completely already. I am amazed that my armpits don't have any hint of B.O. I will update if my opinion changes for some reason, but for now, I freakin love this deodorant and believe me, I have tried all OTC deodorants (they failed.)

Lip Gloss -Cover Girl - Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in Ruby Twist #245
onegoodcat 2/8/2013 2:14:00 AM
I really love these so much! I have bought five and plan to buy more. My favorite so far is the Berry Twist. It looks more pink but is not as bright as Watermelon Twist. Ruby Twist is my least favorite and is a tangerine color on my lips. Jam twist is like a darker, more purple version of Berry Twist. I also like Rose Twist, which I wear when I want my makeup look to be more subdued. It's a light pink with warm undertones and isn't bright like Watermelon Twist. Scarlet Twist is a bright red. The next one I want to get is the Mauve Twist. Some reviewers said that this will appear dull or muted on your lips, but it doesn't on me. I just apply 1-2 coats and my lips will be pretty pigmented. It is so moisturizing and I have really chapped lips, so the moisturizing aspect is a major plus. It doesn't dry them out in the end like lipsticks or other lip glosses do to me. First lip product that doesn't dry out my lips. The lasting power isn't too great. If you eat, it will come off. But could you really expect strong lasting power on a lip gloss? It's not a lipstick. Anyway, I freakin' adore these. I look forward to applying my makeup now because I love wearing this lip product. A hit from Covergirl! You can see one of my pictures with the caption "jam twist" and notice that it looks shiny on my lips. Perhaps everyone's lips are different? You can only know if you try it for yourself.

Scrubs -Equate - Medicated Apricot Scrub
onegoodcat 1/27/2013 12:38:00 AM
I love this stuff. I've tried the St. Ives scrub, but it wasn't memorable to me. I like this one a lot more. I bought it with salicylic acid because I do tend to get acne. Since I have started using this, I don't have any acne. It makes my skin feel so soft and it looks brighter. My skin looks so much more radiant and clean. USE A MOISTURIZER! Do not exfoliate every day. It's common knowledge that you are only supposed to exfoliate like 1-2 times a week...but if you can get away with it, then whatever works for you. I also use Almay's blemish controlling foundation with salicylic acid, and that helps too.

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - PINK with a Splash- Soft and Dreamy
onegoodcat 11/29/2012 10:42:00 PM
This smells so delicious. I'm not usually into sweet foody scents, but this one smells so yummy that I want to eat it. It is very similar to Warm & Cozy, which I also love. This reminds me of cotton candy and sweet cream.

Mmmmm, this smells so good. I don't usually like foody and candy sweet scents because they give me a headache, but this is just delicious! I just want to eat it. I seriously spray it to sleep also. It is very similar to soft & dreamy, which I love as well. To me it smells like sweet milky cream with a hint of sweet spice.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Natureluxe mousse mascara
onegoodcat 3/4/2012 5:08:00 PM
The product is too wet and heavy. My lashes stick together and the product takes a while to dry. It weighs my lashes down which reverses the curling my eyelash curler did. It makes them look spiky and straight. It just did not work for my lashes, but everyone is different. ****UPDATE**** This mascara is not so bad. I didn't use it for a while and started using it again because I lost my other mascara. Since the product's consistency got thicker with time and isn't so thin and runny anymore, it is so much easier to apply this on my lashes now. My lashes don't spike as much and look pretty decent. It's an OK mascara.
