Conditioner -Neutrogena - Triple Moisture daily deep conditioner
roa1084 4/16/2010 5:04:00 AM
Ever since I bought this conditioner three years ago, I have bought no conditioner since. It's simply INTENSELY hydrating to my very dry and slightly heat-damaged fine hair. I wash my hair every two-three days, and I condition with it. The times I do not use it, my hair is noticeably less shiny, and a hell of a lot drier. That's all. Love it.

Fragrances -Chopard - Wish

This perfume smells like pure seduction for me. It is the only musky perfume I found that works well with my skin. And it works really very well. To the point that I could never wear this perfume unless its one or two dabs on my neck on very special night-time occasions. PLUS: This perfume lasts, and lasts, and lasts, and lasts.

Fragrances -Cacharel - Eau D'Eden
roa1084 4/16/2010 4:52:00 AM
LOVE it. Smells like pure freshness in the bottle, and smells even fresher on my skin. This is my day to day perfume. The only problem is, I can never find it in Canada, and would wait to get it if I travel to Europe (duty-free airports).

Fragrances -Cartier - Delices
roa1084 4/16/2010 4:34:00 AM
The most beautiful perfume I have ever smelled. I smelled this in a magazine, and I was smitten. I am not a perfume person, but I ran out and didn't care that it cost me an arm and a leg to buy. I was resolved on becoming a perfume person. If only for Delices. The packaging is indulgent, not my style, but can't deny that it is well made and thought out nonetheless. The smell when I popped the cap, DEVINE. Sprayed it on my wrist, giddy with anticipation of the wonderful life I am about to have... Crap. I had never understood it when people said some perfumes turned to dust on their skin until Delices. It smelled horrendous on my. I even tried just spraying my clothes with it. All in vain my friends. Such a shame we didn't work out. I pop it's cap from time to time just to smell this perfume. I love the smell too much to even just give it away to a friend. So sad.

Liquid -Almay - Almay Truly Lasting Color longwear makeup
roa1084 4/16/2010 4:26:00 AM
Oh my god. This foundation is disgusting. Here's my story. I have never worn foundation except the one time I wore this foundation. I didn't use a primer, or anything at all except a foundation brush that I used to apply this product. I left my apartment looking great in the mirror, and went to a party. About 3 hours later, I looked in the bathroom mirror, and to my horror this foundation has turned into a layer of OIL on my naturally very dry skin. I don't know how this happened. To make matters worse, this foundation managed not only to highlight, but CREATE wrinkles, and ridges and pores on my face. And at the time I was a 23 year old girl! Whenever I remember what I looked like in the mirror that night (haggard 90 year old), I relive a nightmare. Ugh.

Mascara -Christian Dior - Diorshow Mascara
roa1084 4/16/2010 4:14:00 AM
Ok guys. I understand why there are such polar opposite reviews about this mascara. I really really HATE this mascara -It flakes after approximately 2 hours. -Its expensive as hell -If you are not meticulous about it's care, it begin to dry out within a month. But then again, I really really LOVE this mascara -The amount of volume + length it gives you is unparalleled. -It smells like rosewater. -It curls! It really curls! I don't have to use eyelash curlers. So what do I do? I buy it for those occasions that I need to look perfect. Because I swear my lashes look beyond perfect with diorshow. However, I am aware of it's limitations. This is not a day to day mascara. This mascara is for the occasional wedding/party/date. Once an hour, I will go to the bathroom to check/remove flakes when I do wear it. Also, I like to store it in a drawer in the bathroom to keep a humid atmosphere. Yes, it's annoying, but this is the price I am willing to pay for PERFECTLY long, curled, and voluminous eyelashes.

Styling Products -Sunsilk - Daring Volume Spray-On Mousse ] [DISCONTINUED]
roa1084 4/16/2010 3:58:00 AM
I really like this mousse. I don't have a lot of hairs on my head, and the ones I do have, are very thin and fine. So you can imagine I need volume up there. I apply this mousse only on the top, crown and sides of my head while my hair is still wet. Kind of like spraying a C shape around the top of my head (where i want the most oomph of volume). I massage it very lightly into that same area, and let my hair air dry. I take my blow-dryer the flat iron to it, and voila! It really looks like my hair has doubled in volume. I must note that I use NO other products on my hair than this one, and yet my hair is always left smooth, shiny (but not greasy, but then again I have dry hair), and so soft and supple. The only time I ever get annoyed is when I don't wash my hair for a few days, I feel this product greases up and weighs my hair down. This doesn't happen as badly when I have no product in it. But I won't complain too much about that because it's my own damn fault for not washing my hair for three days. PLUS: it's SO cheap. Awesome.

Deodorants -Secret - Clinical Strength
roa1084 4/16/2010 3:43:00 AM
This deodorant is awesome. Unfortunately, I perspire quickly and easily, and i don't naturally smell pretty. I use the non scented version of the deodorant. This deodorant: I apply very little (one click per arm) after a morning shower. -Decreases sweating by 80%. -Eliminates ANY and ALL odor. -Protection lasts me two days (I frequently like to bum around unshowered around the house with a tub of ice-cream). -At it's best, the deodorant itself has no smell. At it's worst (when I push it to three days of no showering) it smells like dewy baby powder. I really can't tell you enough good things about this. At 12 dollars (CDN), it is way more expensive that others, but my bottles usually last me at least 6 months, but usually more, due to the aforementioned non-showering habits of mine. lol Oh, and I've been using this product for 4 plus years now.
