Great Foundation

Tue, 5 Dec 2006 15:40:28 PST

My personal favorite of all coverup foundations is . It's a loose powder that covers your face with only a few swipes of your brush, doesn't gunk up your face and covers all imperfections while at the same time leaves your face looking smooth and polished.

Juicy Couture Perfume

Thu, 30 Nov 2006 17:29:11 PST

So I was reading a magazine while working this summer and there was an Ad for the new Juicy Couture perfume. I usually never stop to smell the perfumes in magazines because they usually just smell like the paper and you can never truely get a feel for the scent. Well the juicy ad, had a pull off type sticker on it, with the perfume between the two clear plastic sheets. I decided to give it a whirl. Well besides getting the sticker stuck to my skin while doing it, I found out that I loved the scent. It was crisp and refreshing, it made me feel young. I'm only 26, but you know what I mean it just gave me a happy feeling. It is nice and fruity! It smells like passion fruit, watermelon, tuberose and creme brulee. Pamper yourself the Juicy Couture way. Neiman Marcus has a great gift set for $85.00. While we are talking Juicy, if you are in Massachusetts.... the wrentham outlet store has amazing prices on Juicy T's.

Molten Brown Conditioner Indian Cress 10 oz

Mon, 20 Nov 2006 22:05:44 PST

I am in love with this conditioner! I first tried it from Neiman Marcus last year. A friend of mine has the hand soaps in all of her bathrooms. I was in the market for a new conditioner when I decided to try this one from Neiman Marcus. It just had a clean yummy smell. I tried it with my every day shampoo and fell in love. I still alternate my shampoos, I have yet to try the Molten Brown one, I should, but really I always feel like the condition of my hair is based on the conditioner that I use. The smell of my hair is based on the way the conditioner leaves it. This one leaves my hair feeling silky smooth, without knots and smelling great. It is $19.00 a bottle, which I feel is reasonable. You don't need a lot of conditoner to make your hair soft. Some might feel that this is high, but for the quality of this london based company, I think it is well worth it. It would be much better if it had a pump on it, or a squeeze top because I feel like I always end up with too much in my hand. Also its so hard to put the top on with the conditioner in my hand. I have also found this problem with some shower gels, but I'm sure the cap is easily replaceable. It would be great to put the top from one of their hand soaps on it. Maybe they are sold seperately.

I was at the mall two nights ago and stopped into the store called C.O. Bigelow. Some of you might know about it. I believe their is also one in Copley or on Newbury Street. I was at the one in the North Shore Mall in Peabody. They are owned by the same company as The Bath & Body Works, but very different. They have really high end products. Many similar to the ones you would see in Neiman Marcus, like Prada etc. I purchased the Conditioner there for the same price and they gave me two travel sized sample bottles of the shower gels. I find that giving out samples is a great way to get return business for them, and for me to try new products before I buy them. How can I really understand a shower gel just by smelling the tester in the store? I can't. I left there with the samples and also they gladly gave me a sample of the Prada perfume at my request. I had heard wonderful things about it, but every time I have smelled it on the paper pieces in the store, I wasn't a fan. Well I have been using it all weekend, and I can't wait to go back and purchase it. I would highly recommend Neiman Marcus and C.O. Bigelow for your Hair care and Beauty products. They sometimes come off pushy, but use them for their resources and you will walk away satisfied.

Sisley Eye and Lip Contour Balm

Mon, 20 Nov 2006 22:00:45 PST

This is a pricey one, but a must have in my collection of skin care products. I think the Sisley products are amazing, now for the average person, buying them all at once might be nearly impossible, but try out the necessary ones first. Talk to a skin consultant at the place that you shop. I believe that these products are available at Neiman Marcus & Saks, an FYI, some of the high end products are also available at Costco. Not sure about the price difference and also you can't try the products in the store, so probably not the first place to buy from, but a definate possibility down the road! This product is more of a gel, or lip balmish product. Its so firm feeling. I love putting it under my eyes and on my lips, feels soo good and long lasting. I am also a huge fan on the Toner, both the rose and apricot, they come in pink and coral colored bottles. This product at Neimans is $99.99, if their are other products you want to try, ask for a sample to take home and give it a whirl, you will love this one. The Ecological Compound, the buff wash and the make-up remover area all great ones that I can vouch for as well.

DDF Matte Finish Photo-Age Protection SPF 30 is super flakey

Sun, 15 Oct 2006 22:13:03 PDT

My facialist recommended this product to me as a shine free sunblock for my oily face. Well, the good news is that she is right. The product easily absorbed and minutes after putting it on, it didn't feel or look I had applied anything. Now here is the bad news. This product is can turn flaky. If I applied too liberally and tried to have my face soak the product in, I was left with bits and pieces of white chucks all over my face.

Bye Bye Racoon Eyes - L'Oreal Le Kohl Pencil Smooth Defining Eyeliner

Sun, 15 Oct 2006 22:02:28 PDT

I must have the most sensitive eyes ever. Put on any makeup near my eyes and I'll have racoon eyes streaming down my face in no time....that is until I discovered what may be the best makeup product ever. L'Oreal Le Kohl Pencil Smooth Defining Eyeliner is my essential beauty product. It doesn't easy smudge, comes in a variety of colors, is super long lasting, and doesn't cause my tear ducts to act up.

Available at drugstores and priced at only $7, this product totally blows the saying "You get what you paid for" out the water.

Kinerase Cream

Sat, 14 Oct 2006 21:16:26 PDT

As a 54 year old, I have some fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes and my mouth. I have used Kinearse for several months. This product is very good for my overall complexion and good for hydration, without irritating my skin. I even put it around my eye. It goes on clear and doesn't have an oily look. It is an excellent moisturizer. As for this anti-aging qualities, it smoothes my fine lines. But I did not think it reduced any of my wrinkles. It does improve my skin tone, as my skin is more soft and feels great!
