My friends make fun of me because I'm notorious for hauling out my Bonne Belle lip gloss at age 26, so I thought I would man up and buy some actual lip gloss! My first choice was Rimmel's Vinyl Gloss, 101: East End Snob. I loved the color and the name of the gloss is basically what made me buy the product!
It's very well priced, somewhat in the $6-$8 range and can be found at most drug stores. I really like the gloss and I do feel like an adult when I wear it! :) "East End Snob" specifically has no smell to it and no taste to which is slightly different than my Bonne Bell collection. I find it's best to just apply the gloss to my bottom lip and blot together, because there is a lot a gloss on the lip applicator. It also lasts quite some time on your lips and only needs to be reapplied every couple of hours.
I will continue to buy different colors from this Rimmel line.

I got a sample of the Avon Naturals Hand Gel (peach scented) over the holidays and I thought it was just okay. I travel on the bus regularly so hand sanitizer is a must have, but I found whenever I pour this gel into my hand it was very slippery and would run off my hand almost instantly if I didn't work fast.
The peach scent was nice and not too powerful, but there is still a touch of the alcohol smell to the sanitizer which I didn't care for unfortunately.
Overall, I don't think this is a product is one I'd be purchasing from Avon in the future.

Rimmel London Sexy Curves Full Volume and Curve Mascara

I don't mind spending big money on mascara, because I think if you pay for quality, that's exactly what you'll get. Yes, it's a little pricey ($9) but it works!
Typically, with mascara I put two coats on my eyelashes, but you don't have to do that with this mascara, because it does the trick the first time you apply. There is no clumping and they appear longer to me anyway.
I highly recommend this product if you're looking for a reliable mascara!

Thank you to the Chick Advisor team who was kind enough to send me this product. I’ve been using this product for a couple of weeks and I didn’t really notice that much of a difference.
I applied the product before bedtime and in the mornings (on most days) and there was a little bit of tingling, but after that it feels like it is just moisturizing your lips and doing little plumping. I thought the gloss was nice though and not greasy at all.
Sadly, I don’t think I would buy this product, even though I love most L’Oreal products!

Maybelline New York Dream Mousse Blush

I just bought this product over the weekend and I'm officially in love. Seriously people, it's great. The blush itself really does feel like mousse and it's so easy to apply. I just put a dab on my index fingers and blend onto my cheeks after I've finished the rest of my makeup. I find putting it on as the last step most effective because it makes your cheeks glow and pop.
I found the product reasonably priced and I didn't mind spending $6 on this product, because I think this container could last quite some time.
If you're looking for a new blush, you should definately look into this product because they offer many different shades.

Clairol Nice 'n Easy Hair Colour

I dye my hair a lot. Recently, my friend (who's a hair stylist) has been applying foils to my hair to make it blonde, which I love, but my hair grows really fast! So fast that almost a month after the original application, I have to have it dyed again because the roots are so embarassing and sloppy in my opinion.
My stylist friend suggested to try Nice 'n Easy's Root Touch Up product if I'm just looking to touch up the roots and not the color. I was skeptical because I didn't know if it would be two completely different looking colors and throw off the whole color of the hair, so I did a strand test just to make sure and it appeared to look natural enough.
So I used the product for the whole head and boy oh boy was I surpised at how well it worked. For $7.50 I didn't have to have my hair dyed again and the roots blend in perfectly with the rest of the hair just as Nice 'n Easy promised it would.
My only complaint was that there was not enough dye, I ran out after covering the most visible root areas. Luckily it doesn't look splotchy, a 1/4 more dye would have been a heck of a lot more helpful. I highly recommend this if you're in love with the color of your overall hair and are just looking for a quick touch up!

Many thanks to the Chickadvisor Product Review Team for sending me this product. I have officially found my new favorite product of 2009… move over Oprah ;) If you suffer from dry skin, like myself, then you must go pick up this product immediately. As soon as I applied it, it felt like it was mosturizing right away and then about an hour later, I could still feel it working, which is normally not the case.
I tend to find some mosturizers greasy and uneffective, but this wasn’t the case when using Sheer Infusion. The whole concept behind Sheer Infusion is that it is mosturizing three layers of your skin, as opposed to the one layer other lotions provide. I think the product is very effective in providing moisture to all three layers, which leaves your skin feeling as soft as a babies skin.
I’m also in love with the smell of the product. It doesn’t smell too much like perfume, I found it to be a very discrete scent that isn’t too powerful.
After using the bottles I received from the Product Review Team, I will definatley be purchasing bottles for future use!

I love this product. Seriously. I have pretty curly/wavy hair and sometimes I like to mix it up and wear my hair straight. I find the only effective way to get it to go straight is to invest in Dove Straight and Soft Sleek Styling Cream.
I have pretty thick hair, but I only need the size of a dime to distribute throughtout my hair while damp. After you get it all in your hair you'll have to blow dry your hair straight and seperate the hair into sections for the best effect.
If I'm going for that stick straight look, I'll run a hair straigtener through it, but most of the time all I really need for softer and straighter hair is styling cream. Seriously people, invest in it, it's a great product and it smells wonderful too!

I have very versatile hair, it can be blow-dried strait (with product), and wavy with the help of a big barrel curling iron and curly if I use sun silk’s captivating curl gel!
I swear by this product to get curly hair. If I let my hair dry naturally it's a wavy/straight combination, but this product really enhances the look by making my hair big and curly. I have a technique to get it curly though, so pay close attention...
1. Section hair into 3 parts, one chunk on each side of the head and one chunk in the back of the hair
2. Do a double pump of product in your hand, rub hands together and start scruching product into hair from the root to the tip - do this for all sections
3. Hairspray
Voila! Hopefully it works for all of you as effectively as it does for me!

If you're like me, you like to put some lotion on before bedtime. I had a friend recommend this product and said it works wonders and now I'm here to share the same advice to all of you - buy this product, you will NOT be disappointed.
It moisturizes your skin right away and doesn't leave any greasy residue after its applied. I'm not one of those people that gets bothered by scents so I was a big fan of its lavender smell.
What more could you ask for in a night cream?
