Mascara -Christian Dior - Maximeyes [DISCONTINUED]

It doesn't smudge or clump easily. However, it dries up so fast that it's just not worth it... at least not for me who hates wearing mascara in the first place! I agree it's the one of the best mascaras out there though for fast application & natural look... much better than Lancome, Chanel, Estee Lauder, & Clinique...

Fragrances -Marc Jacobs - Eau De Parfum

I have the purse-size parfum... it's a different mix than the regular parfum. It's much more concentrated & lasts much longer. It also doesn't fad into that 'ewww' smell as the regular bottle sometimes does to me. Bonus: I use the cute white leather box as my pill box/jewelry in purse/travel packaging after the parfum is gone...

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Aspirin Toner

AMAZING!!! I was bored one nite so I thought I'd occupy my boredom w/ this product... I added a couple drops of my champhor/menthol stress gel in the mix because I like that tingling sensation to refresh me in the morning. I have to say it's the best toner I've ever used (I've tried so so so many eg. Kiehl's, Shiseido, Lancome, Clinque, Chanel, Dior, Darphin, Sisley, La mer)& none compares to this! It's good for sensitive skin but still clarifies well... & the best part: CHEAPPPPPP!!!

I have very long hair so I'm always trying to find some miracle of a product to make it volumized to the max... I gave this a try & well, I found it to weigh my hair down instead. I so wish it was the answer I was waiting for but.... :( I'm sticking to just my Sebastian Shaper Plus hairspray to pouff my hair up from now on...

Shampoo -Paul Mitchell - Tea Tree line

I like the tingly mint sensation while I'm in the shower but it doesn't last (stops after I step out of the shower). It does clearify my hair but I find it makes it very limp even with lots of blowdrying. I will use this only in the summertime as a refreshing shampoo but Matrix Amplify XXL rawks as my HG shampoo!

Eyeliner -Bobbi Brown - Gel Liner in Cobalt

This is def. my HG eyeliner... probably will be using this til death so us apart! Everyother kind runs/smudges on me. Well, also, I have no patience for liquid ones to dry and I'm very clumsy with pencils so they tend to break on me after a couple of usages!

Polishes -Zoya - Professional Lacquer

Very runny but once you get the hang of it, it's great. Love the colors as I always go for the nude/pastel pinks anyway so great selection for me! I just wish they had the cute names that OPI or Lippman has. I don't want to wear another girl's name on my nails! ;p

Fragrances -Jo Malone - Orange Blossom

Love the sweet but musky fragrance. After a while though, it tends to fade into a deeper musk & floral note. Has good staying power for a non-parfum. Love the packaging, so chic & classy! I layer this with the grapefruit body oil or a few drops of vanilla fragrance oil to make it a bit more unique & the oil helps it stay on longer 2!

Styling Products -Sebastian - Shaper Plus Hairspray

Agreed on the smell... it reeks!!! After a nite out clubbing & drinking, draggin myself out of bed to quickly make my hair publically decent with this spray makes me want to puke oh so bad! It just reminds me of the nite before & the alcohol involved... indeed, pinching nose while spraying doesn't help either bc i end up tasting it... even worse! The spray is beyond though! It's my HG spray even with the smell (there r only a few sprays out there that doesn't reek anyhow). Great staying power, flexible, & NATURAL look & feel!!!

Loose Powders -Chantecaille - Loose powder

Hate the packaging, love the product! I had this in the mini loose powder as well - used a couple of times before the thing fell apart, spilling powder all over my clothes, purse, & me! The big version is a little better but it's still impratical compared to the conventional screw tops.

Great for the summer... I have very pale olive skin tone & this is perfect for a light matte bronzer to highlight cheekbones.

Lip Liners -DuWop - Reverse Lipliner
sxis 8/25/2004 2:37:00 PM
Total impulse buy.... one that I thought I would dearly regret! However, it's something that I never thought I would need/use turned 'essential!' It works fantastic even though I don't have gloss/lippy run issues... I use it because it shapes my lips like never before... I have full lips that are nicely heart shaped but I only wear nude gloss & lip balm 24/7 so my shape blends in instead of standing out for a sexy pout! Now, with this lipliner, I love my lips! However, way 2 expensive for a lipliner in my opinion!
