My hair is easily dirty after one day and I have trouble with it looking greasy if I touch it too much throughout the day. With Samy, I followed the instructions and brushed through with a comb, I could see the formula get to work to absorb all the excess oil. For the rest of the day, my hair looked clean, and had maintained great body and lift at the roots. Samy acted as a combo of dry shampoo, hairspray, and root-lifter all in one. I have tried some other dry shampoos and I think my favorite thing about this product in particular is the fact that it's a spray so it's easy to use. I've tried powder formulas and it's just too difficult to control those on the back of my head where I can't see what I'm doing.
I recommend Samy as a great solution to in-between washing care.

bareMinerals Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF15

I really am a huge fan of Bare Minerals and if you can afford it and are one of those people who wants to advertise that she uses a brand name like Bare Minerals - I say go for it. It's clearly of the highest quality and works like a charm to cover as a foundation. I found it to be long wearing, and the colors are perfect for my fair skin.
However - I've tried lots of mineral makeups that are on the market and there are several options that are just as effective and less expensive. Bottom line - it IS a great product and I highly recommend it. But - if you want a good mineral makeup and a low price, this is not your brand.

I am an absolute junkie about As Seen On TV products and couldn't wait to try the Smooth Away Hair Removal System. I should have waited. HUGE disappointment. I don't have facial hair issues, but was really excited about this for my legs and bikini and underarms. It was ludicrous - didn't work to remove hair in any of the three places, no matter that I followed the directions to the letter. I was really disappointed and hope that none of you waste your money for the same experience. -

I admit, I was sucked into LUSH about 6 years ago and I love LOTS of their stuff. Not all of it - but LOTS of it. My biggest problem with LUSH is that the shipping is over the top and slow. I'm ok paying more for quality products - and the ones that I love (like Buffy) are worth the extra money - but to pay $10 to ship a $10 product? That's not cool - if it came overnight or even Priority, it would be different - but it still takes over a week!
I digress - on to the Buffy! This is my absolute FAVE LUSH product EVER. It's the perfect combination of the best exfoliator you ever tried combined with a great moisturizer. I like this best for shaving my legs, but my husband LOVES it on his back in the shower. Expensive - yes - but worth it! My best advice is to go to your local LUSH once or twice a year and stock up. The all-at-one-time drop of money will sting, but you won't pay high shipping several times a year and you'll be able to check out other products in person at the same time!

LOVE LOVE LOVE me some ELF Mineral Eyeshadow. You would NEVER know this wasn't a high end expensive product and they do NO animal testing or research whatsoever. The shadows last long, they require tiny amounts of product to show the color, and they are SO inexpensive! I'm absolutely thrilled with the product - I am a huge fan of the color - Temptress. Try this out girls! -

This mascara is a toss up for me. I like that it accentuates each individual lash, and really makes it easy to emphasize my lashes. However - the applicator brush is GIGANTIC. The diameter of the wand is absolutely huge. My other con about the product is that it seems to take alot of product per use. For the money, this is a great choice - especially for a mascara junkie like me. -
