Styling Products -Redken - Thickening Lotion
swimmifish 10/10/2007 11:01:00 PM
I'm a former user of the old formula (years and years ago) but don't remember why I dropped it from my regimen. Anyway, as per your suggestions, I bought some earlier this week. I used this product today, a hot, humid, rainy day. Not only did my fine hair that usually looks stringy air dried straight and looked like I'd blown it dry, but it also felt thicker than it EVER has. Thank you, Redken! It gave me a decent amount of body, but more so worked to thicken. I can't wait to use it again.

Liquid -Prescriptives - Flawless Skin Total Protection Makeup SPF 15
swimmifish 11/26/2006 4:59:00 PM
I agree with marquin22. This product does a great job of hiding adult acne scars/blemishes and general redness that sometimes adorn my face. The shade is also a very good match for my skin. While wearing this product, it does not rub off easily/within a few hours (like the Clinique city base foundation I had been using). My face feels smooth with this on -- not cakey. I will see how long the full size bottle I just bought lasts, but I've been using a small sample for over a week and still have some left. I use a foundation brush to apply this makeup. While it's sometimes a little awkward to blend it onto my face, the end result is fabulous.

Eye Primer -Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Original (UDPP)

Um, amazing product. The eyeshadow stays put all day and night when I use this primer. What a great purchase! I used to use Clinique's touch base for eyes, but this dries out if the packaging isn't closed oh so tightly and does not work as well.

Mascara -Clinique - Lash Doubling Mascara

Use this with the primer...I do and it makes my fine, blond lashes long and pretty. (I also use an eyelash curler). It's great! Best of all Clinique keeps giving them away in their GWP's so I rarely have to buy it by itself. :)

My face was a grease pot before this product...a few days later, it's back to normal, under control, and not shiny despite the heat and humidity of a DC summer. Highly recommend!

I love the smell of this stuff - light, fragrant, and addicting. It moisturizes without overmoisturizing.

Lotions/ Creams -Burt's Bees - Coconut Foot Creme
swimmifish 4/28/2006 3:58:00 AM
Nice smell, sometimes at the end when trying to squeeze the product out, it eeks out of the tube. It does work for my feet, though I have to use it alot to get my feet softer, and in conjunction with a pumice stone in the shower. WARNING: WEAR WITH SOCKS TO BED! I think the package recommends this.

Mascara -Clinique - Lash Building Primer
swimmifish 4/28/2006 3:57:00 AM
This stuff changed my life (not really) - but definitely my makeup regimen! I received a sample in a free gift and continue to buy. I have thin, blond lashes, and when used with an eyelash curler, this really perks them up. I follow with a Clinique mascara, and I find that my eyes really look bright/opened.

Lip Treatments -Burt's Bees - Beeswax Lip Balm

I'm on my second tube. How can anyone not like this stuff? It's minty and it makes your lips tingle. Inexpensive, and the SPF is very nice.

Treatments -Biosilk - Silk Therapy
swimmifish 4/28/2006 3:54:00 AM
A hairstylist recommended this to me upon seeing my damaged split ends from a perm. It did wonders for my hair. The perm is gone, but I can't live without this product now - it smooths flyaways, split ends, stray hairs. Just be careful not to use too much - it is VERY greasy. It can also be used on very dry skin.

Top/Base Coats -OPI - RapiDry Top Coat
swimmifish 4/28/2006 3:52:00 AM
Great product. It delivers as promised and dries the polish quickly. I swim on a team in a highly chlorinated pool, and the stuff lasts about 4 days without chipping - a lot longer than many other polishes. It lasts longer if I don't swim.

Conditioner -Nexxus - Humectress Conditioner
swimmifish 5/25/2005 11:34:00 PM
I love this product! I have fine, colored, permed (but it's growing out) blond hair, and after using it, my hair is very soft and much more manageable. It's expensive, but well worth it, and you only need to use a small amount each time. Lasts awile!

Treatments -Infusium 23 - leave-in treatment for damaged/unmanageable hair
swimmifish 5/23/2004 10:32:00 PM
After a somewhat disastrous perm which left my fine hair (which is normally easy to comb through) tangled every time I wash it, this is the only product that gets the tangles out! I use it every time I wash my hair and also worked when I was a swimmer and my hair was difficult to comb through because of chlorine build up.
