Deodorants -Dove - Clinical Protection Visibly Smooth
ophelianyx 4/26/2010 12:56:00 PM
I love this! I put it on at night and I don't sweat throughout the night or day. Your clothes don't ever get that "funk" when you use this. A bit expensive though.

These are awesome! You get 4 packs that each have 30 towelettes (and the pack has a plastic top) plus 2 packs that have 15 towelettes (travel ones), all for CAD$13...WOW! The Neutrogena ones at Shopper's are $10 per PACK. Great product, and an amazing price.

Hair Removal -Nair - pretty hair remover spray kiwi

Smelled really gross (in my opinion)! It wasn't a miracle product- only patches of hair were removed, the remaining hair i had to shave off.

Eye Shadow -Bare Escentuals - Loose Powder Eyeshadow
ophelianyx 3/24/2010 9:18:00 PM
I have only tried the bareMinerals eyeshadow in Citrus Twist and I love it! It's a beautiful pigmented color. Very peachy, sort of pink with a lot of iridescent shimmer. It may sound a little scary, but it's actually gorgeous. You can put it on sheer, or layer it for more drama. Both ways are gorgeous.

Eye Shadow -Rimmel - Quad Eyeshadow in Bronzed
ophelianyx 3/24/2010 9:07:00 PM
The name bronzed is misleading because the quad doesn't have any bronze-y colors, unless you count the brown. All of them are muted;The colors are: a gray-mauve, light chocolate brown, light pink, and a lighter frostier mauve-gray. This combination of colors is very pretty. I really like the two grays, they are light and can be worn daily. All the colors aren't highly pigmented; the are quite sheer and build-able with shimmer.

Blush -Bobbi Brown - Blush
ophelianyx 3/24/2010 8:57:00 PM
Tawny Powder Blush is such a pretty natural looking blush. The color is just perfect, it really looks natural like it's your own flush. It really livens up my face, and brings a pop of color to it. The color in the pot is a bit intimidating, since it looks so dark, but on skin it's just this perfect rosy hue. And it lasts long too.

Very natural, not orange. Can be a bit messy to work with, but nothing a little practice can't fix.

Powder -Maybelline - Mineral Power Powder Foundation
ophelianyx 3/24/2010 8:51:00 PM
It's not any different than other mineral foundations. So it's overall a good product. I'm not sure if it improved my skin, like BE claims, but it's good for covering up redness like most mineral foundation. Definitely try this before trying more expensive brands.

Powder -Pur Minerals - Pressed Powder Foundation
ophelianyx 3/24/2010 8:48:00 PM
This is a pretty great product. Does a good job of covering up redness and blemishes, while still looking natural. The color/shade Tan is really good for that summer color because it's not very orange. The one thing I don't like is that once you can see the bottom of the pan, the powder is probably going to crack and crumble which is not fun for applying makeup and for carrying around in your purse---MESSY MESSY MESSY!

Powder -Cover Girl - TruBlend Microminerals
ophelianyx 3/24/2010 8:44:00 PM
The packaging is OK if you need to have it with you, even though the brush is really coarse and doesn't blend. I have the Finishing Veil, and it seems OK. It's just your basic finishing veil, although it's not "invisible", it does show up a bit white on skin. I also don't think it's as healing, or has properties that are good for your skin like other mineral powders that claim they'll improve your skin tone, texture etc. Overall an OK product. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. Won't repurchase.

Lips -Cover Girl - Outlast Lipstain - 405 Berry Smooch
ophelianyx 3/24/2010 8:39:00 PM
I really like the color because it matches my lips closely. It's great for a natural look, or for teens and t'weens. It doesn't last very long, and is a bit drying so I recommend using a lip balm over it. I like this product, but if it were discontinued I wouldn't be upset. Probably won't repurchase.

Never tried the mascara,= because I only bought for the eraser part. Love the eraser, it really helps with messes. But I can live without it.
