Treatments -Estee Lauder - Advanced Night Repair (Serum) 
tam23 6/15/2011 12:15:00 PM
I received this as a GWP. Normally, I get a few pimples every couple of weeks. However, for the past few months, my face has been a mess (pimples, rough texture, flaky, dry). I tried everything to calm my skin and reduce the pimples (PCA, Dermalogica, Neutrogena, Clean & Clear). I've read reviews in the past that ANR has helped people with breakouts and just calming the skin. I didn't believe it until I tried it. I've been using this and the Hydrationist creme moisturizer (combo/normal skin) for the past two days and my skin feels so smooth. All the bumps are gone. I still have a few flakes here and there. I kept rubbing my face because I couldn't believe that my pimples were gone without salicyclic acid or benzoyl peroxide use. If you don't want to spend the money for this, go to a counter and ask for a sample. You really don't need to use much. Some people don't use a moisturizer over this. I did because my skin felt so dry.

Self Tanners -Unlisted Brand - TanTowel - all
tam23 3/15/2011 5:28:00 PM
I bought this based upon good reviews from makeupalley and other websites. This used the express tan kit. It comes with towelettes and a 2 oz express tan mist. I used one towelette from head to toe. Then sprayed the mist on the towelette and used that again head to toe. I did that two days straight and waited 24 hrs in between to shower. I have a great tan now. I'm not sure how long the tan will last. I'll update that on later. Also, I made sure I moisurized my hands, elbows, knees, and feet with lotion before rubbing it lightly with the towelette. That's to prevent weird orange spotting around those areas.

Mascara -Shiseido - Nourishing Mascara Base
tam23 3/4/2011 4:50:00 PM
I still miss the old shiseido mascara base.There was nothing wrong with the old formula so I have no idea why they changed it.The new formula does hold a curl well but does not thicken like the old formula. I've tried other primers but they never held a curl.I have no choice but to stick with this one for now.

Fragrances -Donna Karan - Cashmere Mist
tam23 11/26/2010 10:37:00 PM
i love cashmere mist! i love powdery scents and this is so easy on the nose. for those with allergies, try this out. it's not overpowering and for me, it stays on for 5-6 hrs. i use this along with the deodorant. another great product. the only thing i dislike about this product is the actual perfume bottle. it's not very pretty.

Moisturizers -L'Occitane - Almond Apple Velvet Concentrate
tam23 11/18/2010 11:36:00 PM
I'm finding as I get older,my combination skin is getting drier in the fall/winter time. I tried this b/c I desperately needed light moisture for my skin.I tried the apple velvet cleanser before and wasn't impressed.however,I love the scent of this line. So I decided to take a chance with this moisturizer. I use this every night and olay's microdermabrasion scrub x2/wk.My skin has never looked better.I don't even use acne products every night like I used to.My face feels so soft and clear. I hope they never discontine this product.btw,I'm in my early 30's and this is plenty of moisture for my face.

Treatments (Eye) -Promaxyl - Eyelash Renewal serum Rapidlash
tam23 10/8/2010 10:23:00 AM
I have short thin lashes. I was using L'oreal's lash boosting serum for about 3 months and that did help lengthen my lashes. I decided to give Rapid lash a try because I wanted to see if something else worked better. I've been using this only for one week and my lashes have grown a little longer and they're definitely a little thicker. When I put on mascara, I look like I'm wearing fake eyelashes. This isn't going to be a miracle for everyone. However, this has worked for me and I'm going to keep using this since I'm too scared to try Latisse.

Lipstick -NYX - Round Lipstick - Tea Rose
tam23 8/27/2010 1:05:00 PM
I bought tea rose and other colors from cherry culture for 2.25 each.yes,it is very pigmented.that's why I blot after application.I hate the look of lipgloss and glossy lips so this works for me. This is a slightly bright neutral pink that gives my lips fullness.it also brightens up my face.also note,my lips are naturally dark pink.

I love this lash conditioner!I don't know why people think this is supposed to act as a miracle product.you're only spending $11 for this.for me,this has decreased the amount of lashes that falls out and my lashes are a tad bit longer because of this.my lower lashes are also longer as well.its a great product for the price
