Lips -Jafra - Treatment Lipsticks
squirrelXetiquette 5/19/2013 11:21:00 PM
I have always loved the staying-power of jafra lipsticks. The colour selection is great: many shades, shimmers, and textures. Try a lipstick & see what you think. I have about 12 & am happy with each one.

Lotions/ Creams -Jafra - Royal Almond Body Oil
squirrelXetiquette 5/19/2013 11:18:00 PM
I have been using this almond-scented oil for more than 20 years, so it has to be good. It can be used to soothe dry skin, moisturize dry/frizzy hair, and ward off mosquitos! This is a great product that merits praise.

Blush -NARS - Mounia [DISCONTINUED]
squirrelXetiquette 4/17/2013 12:55:00 AM
So you looooved Luster, but wish you had the same blush in a berry shade.... Voila! Mounia! This fine blush is a perfect shade for everyday wear. Nevermind the comments about how it is a holiday blush-- this little gem looks great any day, any time! Buff it out well with a kabuki brush, and people will be asking: how did you get such gorgeous cheeks!?A flush, yet healthy glow is the payoff with mounia. Get it if you can find it! No regrets here. It is now my go to blush (before: exhibit a/desire/luster).

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Benetton - Essence of United Colors of Benetton for Women
squirrelXetiquette 4/17/2013 12:48:00 AM
Quite a sweet scent. I have the men's version, and i prefer wearing that one because it is less floral & quite clean smelling. (I find no problem with wearing cologne). The girl's version is nice, but i rarely wear it as the floral, yet sporty, scent is less appealing to my senses. Packaging is superb. A nice addition to any perfume collection, as it is a decent fragrance for the summer or to spray on for an errand/going to the gym/etc.

Lip Treatments -E.L.F. - Studio Lip Lock Pencil
squirrelXetiquette 4/8/2013 3:54:00 PM
Shut up!! Ok, lipstick rarely ever stays on my lips regardless of whether i am talking, eating, drinking, etc. In fact, most lipsticks stay on for :45 max before they start feathering/clumping/fading. However, with this gem, my lipstick stays on for 2x longer!! OMG! It is truly amazing. Seriously. It is a miracle for me -- i can finally wear the brightest to the plainest lipsticks without fearing the awfully tacky fading of colour. I am so utterly happy. Try this $3 miracle.

Masks -Queen Helene - Mint Julep Masque
squirrelXetiquette 4/7/2013 8:38:00 AM
I have been using this mask for over 10 years, so obviously it is a winner with me. It leaves my skin refreshed, clean, and tight. I love the feeling of the mask when it dries: you can feel it shrinking your pores. Once it dries on your face, you dont have to worry about the mask getting on your clothes and etc because it really, really is dried on your face. It looks pretty cool (a mint green), too. Overall, the quality, price, and effectiveness of this mask should sell you. As a consumer that does NOT like to use just anything on her skin, I have found QHs MJM to be a fine product for both sensitive & regular skin. I will continue using it until they discontinue it!

Lip Treatments -Fresh - Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15
squirrelXetiquette 4/4/2013 7:03:00 PM
I dunno. My beau swears by this stuff; he says that he has noticed a difference in his lips. I, on the other hand, am not sure if there is an improvement in the texture of my lips. I use this balm at night before bed, and usually wake up with moisturized lips. I really like it, but it is so pricey. The lemony scent is nice, and the consistency is soft & creamy. It is a nice balm to hydrate dry, chapped lips. Invest in a bottle & decide for yourself. (My first tube has lasted approx. 3 months thus far...)

Mascara -BeneFit Cosmetics - BADgal Plum
squirrelXetiquette 3/28/2013 9:51:00 PM
Looooooove the way this mascara wears off: "heroin chic" says my beau. It lines my lower lids with a purpley-pink colour that kinda makes it look like im either really tired or strung out -- but this is after 12+ hrs of wear. Washes off easily & looks awesome and femme. Makes my green eyes stand out & my pale skin look even paler. I definitely like wearing it on nights when i want that 90s, "ive been hanging out at this club, listening to the Melvins all night" rocked-out look. ::air guitar:: thanks benefit!

Mascara -BeneFit Cosmetics - They're Real
squirrelXetiquette 3/28/2013 9:42:00 PM
I swear, two days ago, someone said: that mascara does wonders for your lashes! Yes, this pricey mascara looks great on, but there are 2 disadvantages: 1) the composition is quite watery (holy moley: left it near warm, indirect sunlight, and boy did it get runny!!!) 2) GUANO! Yeah, this stuff is sticky & soooo hard to get off. Is it waterproof? Girl, this stuff is practically soap-proof. ::scrub scrub:: yeah, great lasting power with no flaking. It really is a perfect mascara. Quite different/better than Bad Gal black. Buy it! Just try it!

Skincare -Kiehls - Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer
squirrelXetiquette 3/28/2013 9:35:00 PM
Hey! If you want to buy this, mail your $25 to my chinchilla & he will make a nest out of the money. THAT will be money well spent. This concoction is absolute garbage. I have never been so disappointed with a product. No tingle, no de-puffing, no nothing. Just slab some crisco on your face for a similar effect (@_@). Thanks for the overpriced placebo, kiehls.....You dolts.

Fragrances -Chloe - Chloe (EDP new)
squirrelXetiquette 3/28/2013 9:30:00 PM
I have been searching for MY scent since i was a little girl. Twenty years later, i found it via a sample from sephora. I. Completely. Fell. In. Love. and. Died. This is the smell i have been waiting for. It works with the pH of my body & stays on for almost 24 hours. It is floral, spicy, demure, sexy, sultry, girly, sophisticated, and tough. It is a fantastic perfume of which i will never tire. It is the one i reach for every day & it is the only one that has actually turned heads & made grown men blush. It is brilliant.

Fragrances -Chloe - l'eau de chloe
squirrelXetiquette 3/28/2013 9:25:00 PM
This is the other Chloe's bright, extroverted cousin visiting from Cape Cod. She isnt as demure as her other cousin, Chloe edp from Martha's Vineyard, but she is just as gorgeous & likable. I love this citrucey scent, but it doesnt pack the same punch as the edp. In fact, i really dont think the scent lingers as long. With chloe edp, i can get a whiff of it until at least bedtime; on the other hand, leu de chloe, checks out circa lunch time. A good buy if you heart chloe.

Fragrances -Chloe - Chloe by Chloe
squirrelXetiquette 3/28/2013 9:00:00 PM
Blurgh! What a dated, musty smell. Ugh!!! The "new" chloe is my signature scent, so i was excited to purchase this one from one of the tj maxx retailers. Blecch! Opened it up, sprayed a bit & wanted to hose myself down. An overly pungent, powdery, musty scent that reminds me of a medicine cabinet that has not been opened since the Nixon administration. No thank you, karl!

Lipstick -Sephora - Rouge Cream Lipstick
squirrelXetiquette 3/28/2013 5:14:00 PM
Courtisane is suuuuuch a great plum/burgundy red! It is soooo pogmented & wears for a good while. It leaves my lips dry, as ALL lipsticks do, but i layer the Revlon lip butter in red velvet when i need some moisturizing. Overall, this lipstick is a stral for less than $20.
