Styling Products -TRESemme - Tres Two Ultra Fine Mist Hairspray
sunniva 10/7/2007 10:34:00 PM
Performs like a cheap drugstore hairspray for me. Tried it several times, my hair flops/droops after about 2 hours. Actually, it would hold longer if I did not use this at all. It gave me a bit of volume and smelled nice but there was no hold. Although it was cheap so worth a try I guess.

Skincare - Body -LUSH - Shimmy Shimmy Massage Bar
sunniva 7/26/2007 6:32:00 PM
haha, I was bored and a bit tipsy and threw 1/2 of one of these in the tub. My skin literally looked GOLD when I got out. I couldnt stop giggling. Not that I recommend doing this, but it made me realize how packed this thing is with shimmer. I always buy one when I place a LUSH order, love the scent. Next time I wont throw it in the tub though.

Lotions/ Creams -Gold Bond - Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Lotion
sunniva 6/19/2007 4:50:00 PM
Not only has this saved my hands, which have been very dry from the climate (desert southwest) and chapped from work (were reopening our library after renovation - unpacking boxes of books has destroyed my hands), this is also the first moisurizer I have used on my face that doesnt make me break out. And I have tried many high end brands. A bit pricey but if it doubles as a face moisturizer, I'll save money anyways. Great product!

Brows -Chanel - Precision Brow Definer
sunniva 3/2/2007 6:55:00 PM
I think before you buy this, try it on at the counter. Sculpting brow pencil made my brown looks wayyyy too made up. But, I have very dark brows compared to my hair. I have the precision pencil in soft brown. I don't have to worry about putting too much on, and have gotten quite a few compliments on my brows since I purchased this. I suppose it just depends on the individual, the saleslady uses sculpting and her brows looked fabulous.

Powder -Physicians Formula - Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Loose Powder
sunniva 7/1/2006 8:57:00 PM
I like this. I've never tried mineral makeup before, but I figured with Walgreen's return policy, I would give it a try. I love the polished look it gives me. Even more I love the fact it doesnt transfer to things (my liquid foundation/powder combo would get everywhere!! so tired of cleaning my cell phone off, etc...) My only problem is finding a perfect color match. Buff beige was a tiny bit too light, so I tried Creamy Natural, which made me ashy and was too dark. I would try Med Translucent, but it looks way too pink for my medium olive skin. So I'm mixing the two and experimenting...3/4 buff and 1/4 creamy natural looks pretty good. Overall I'm very pleased with this product and will repurchase, just hope I can find a good color mix. Update: CRAP!!! I was too sudden with my review. This stuff gives me nasty cystic acne, the kind I havent seen on my face since I was 16. Only one lippie off though because it's a good product if it doesnt break you out =(

Fragrances -Profumi di Pantelleria - Nica
sunniva 4/28/2006 12:27:00 AM
I like Nica, but not enough to buy a hundred dollar bottle. It is a very complex fragrance that definitely works with your chemistry. On me, it initially smells spicy, then dries down to a rather beautiful soapiness (like fresh laundry). The last past of the drydown is a mix of both, which is heavenly, but in the fading stages. I will definitely purchase more samples and highly recommend sampling it as well, this could end up being a knockout fragrance if it works great with your chemistry, and totally worth the price (to add, its potent...a dab will last all day)

Fragrances -Clarins - Par Amour Toujours
sunniva 4/16/2006 12:30:00 AM
Why look! Its the most expensive body mist I've ever bought! I love the scent, so much I would buy it again, but I spritz it over and over and its "subtle" ... "does not last" ... I'd give it a 5 because the fragrance is truly lovely...but staying power is so weak. I tried the body wash and its even weaker!so no layering...they need a lotion to compliment this BAD (sorry I can't do Par Amour layering...par amour=yuck) Update: ok, I'm eating my words here. I got a sample of Par Amour and layer this. A very tiny amount of Par Amour, and spritz a lot of Toujours over it. It smells divine and lasts much longer. The salesperson recommended this and it works! =)

Concealers -Max Factor - Erace in Medium and Natural
sunniva 2/25/2006 8:47:00 PM
I've been using this as an under-eye concealer for years. I've tried many concealers and I always come back to Erace. I use the color Natural, it works perfectly with my olive complexion. It blends easily and stays put all day. I've never used it for anything but under-eye circles though.

Lips -mark - Kissink Lip Tintmarker
sunniva 1/7/2006 11:02:00 PM
I have this in Berry Bitten. I love the scent, ease of application and the color (like another reviewer I smudge as I apply, and the result is very natural) Why not 5 lippies? Lasting power is not so great. 2 hours at most (more like 1) ... not what I'd expect from a stain. But the price is right so I'd repurchase. Just wish the "marker" were a bit more "permanent"

Fragrances -Christiane Celle Calypso - Violette
sunniva 1/1/2006 12:31:00 AM
Although I said yes to buying this again, I will probably just get samples. Violette starts out violet/green for me, then I get the tobacco scent, then the dry down is pure honey. My husband loves this scent, he compares it to VdP but more "sultry"...hm =) I keep sniffing at my wrists expecting it to go sour on me, theres times when it just smells "ok", then a few minutes later it smells very nice. Definitely sample this because it is strange. I think I prefer VdP because I don't have to sniff my wrists at all, I KNOW it will smell fantastic no matter what. 3 lippies because I'm just not 100% about this one, but it is unique.

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Creamy Candy Bubble Bar
sunniva 12/31/2005 1:22:00 AM
Ohh, yummy... I love the scent of Creamy Candy. I wish the bubbles would last longer, wonder if they would if I threw a whole bar in? But I also use this as a solid perfume, yea weird but I moisten my skin and use a tiny bit. And I smell heavenly for hours =) Also when I'm not using it for the bath/body I stick it in my lingerie drawer...So I don't really want to chuck the entire bar in my tub... UPDATE: out of curiousity I used the rest of the bar (3/4) because I have a spare. Sea O' Bubbles! I felt like I was surrounded by clouds! And they lasted a long time...& I feel super soft and smell great!

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Alkmaar Soap
sunniva 12/26/2005 1:35:00 PM
The scent is divine but my skin is sooo horribly itchy after I use LUSH soap. I had the same experience with Karma and Bohemian, I wish LUSH would make triple milled moisturizing soaps then I would be in Heaven.

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Snow Festival
sunniva 12/25/2005 10:59:00 AM
LOVE this! I adore the smell of almonds, which is why I ordered this. Delicious scent, and the dove on top is very cute. Hmmm, this is a seasonal item right...maybe I'll get some more before they are gone!!
