The last time I tried a long lasting lip color, I ended up with flaky, dry lips and an icky taste....this CG lip color is fantastic. I have it in three shades, all gorgeous. You apply the lip gloss first, let it dry for a few seconds, and then coat your lips with the sheer balm/topcoat to seal in the color. It actually stays on (and stays on well and attractively) after eating, drinking, and even showering. Be careful applying the color evenly so you don't end up with any heavier spots on the outer edges of your lips, since those would get sealed in! Really great product! -
Revlon 3D Extreme Mascara

I should know better than to buy a 2-for-1 deal....but I got this two pack and after one application, totally regretted it. Can you say clumpy? I mean, seriously clumpy. When I wipe the wand off to clear off extra product, then there is too little on the wand to apply. One dip back in the cylinder yields a goopy mess. After repeated lash brushing and fixing, the result is not awful, but really quite average when compared with most other mascaras. -

I also got this lotion to test and I'm really pleased with it. I sometimes gravitate to the scented lotions, but usually those are just not all that effective at dealing with dry skin. My legs tend to get so itchy once the cold weather comes and the heating system kicks in. This lotion is practically unscented and like others have said, is not the least bit greasy. When I first put it on, I was struck by the corny thought that "This is like putting moisture into my skin!" Well, duh! But the Lubriderm really does have a great feel to it and doesn't leave and slick residue that other products can. I'm definitely going to stick with this product and see how it does over a longer period of time, but so far, it's a winner for me! -

I've always loved cream eye shadows and used to use the ones from Clinique. The problem I've had with others is that the colors have never worked on me and were always too dark or too bright. I really like this mousse shadow and both the "ivory illusion" (great base color or highlighter) and the "tranquil rose" (nice brownish rose), and both work well with my fair complexion. It is a bit harder to control where the color ends up (vs. using a traditional eye shadow brush/applicator) but I find they blend very easily. I'm definitely going to check out the other colors! -

I was a bit skeptical about yet another line of hair products designed to smooth out my curls and rid my mane of frizz. I've been pretty loyal to Matrix (or the Suave knock-off) and had my doubts about Sunsilk. But I adore both the shampoo and conditionaer and am now hooked after only one use. First of all, the shampoo has the creamiest texture of any shampoo I've ever used; I actually checked the bottle to make sure I hadn't accidentally used the conditioner! Both products feel great going in and wash out nicely. No particular scent but I didn't particulary care after I went to dry my hair. I swear my drying time was cut in half! I have thick, curly hair with an unforgiving tendency to frizz. My curls never curl nicely so I always blow it out and then use a flat iron. After using Sunsilk, my blew out better, smoother, with significantly less frizz, and formed soft curls around my big brush. A quick run with my flat iron to settle it down and I was set. Some products that hellp strighten hair leave a heavy residue (which I've put up with if I can get my hair smooth enough), but Sunsilk left my hair totally soft and healthy feeling and I didn't need to use any other smoothing creams. Unbelieveable! I'm a changed women! The only slightly negative thing I must note is the packaging, which could seriously be better. The picture of the woman on the front is unnecessary and although we should not be swayed by packaging, it does matter! I'm not sure I would have given this a try had I not been part of the review club here! Boy, would I have missed out--this stuff is amazing! -

As someone who is forever trying to flatten my frizz-prone hair, I use this product when I want to really straighten any bounce out of my hair. It does a great job with a flat iron, but the other reviewer is right-watch your application! If you spray too much on, you will be left with a stiff, sticky, and overly-shiny head of hair. Less is more here. It definitely flattens and smoothes, but don't go crazy with the spray! -

I was pretty skeptical about this...I mean, a foundation that magically matches to your skin tone? When the product comes out of the tube white with little bluish beads, my doubts increased. But, lo and behold, it actually did change from white to foundation color! Blends great with pretty sheer coverage, but no streaks or orange tone. Holds up well for the day. Love this product! -
