Beauty Product Reviews
RECOMMEND
This was my first purchase in the Make Up Forever line. I have #4 and #8. Really like the product. Coverage lasts most of my morning. Do need to reapply before and after lunch. But love the colors, the packaging and the product really lives up to the hype.
So so
I was excited to try, but also wanted to compare all the BB creams. Sephora gave me samples of NARS and Smashbox. So far, I like the Smashbox, and the NARS, not so much. Smashbox only has three shades, though, and NARS, hands down has more choices. I will try the NARS and compare to Benefit HELLO FLAWLESS next.
My new go to
Hesitated before I bought this eye shadow, based on some reviews. But I loved the Taupe color and so I went for it. It is my new day to day eye shadow. Applies smoother than some of the more expense cream eye shadows (are you listening Bobbi Brown), and stays on. My eyelids are oily and even a primer does not keep the shadow in place. I loved so much and also purchased the dark gray color.
JUST OKAY
The shampoo is just OKAY. But the conditioner is AMAZING. I rotate the conditioner into my summer hair care. That shampoo does make your hair feel somewhat waxy, but shiny.
UNIQUE PRODUCT
I would have never tried this product. I won a salon treatment and the after my blowout, the hairdresser used this sparinly on my hair and WOW! So I bought it. Easy to use (sparingly) and you can use before you dry your hair for more volume, after you dry your hair for texture, I have used this more than any other in a 20 year lifetime of product. The trick is "sparingly".
BEST DRY SHAMPOO EVER
My hairdresser suggested I skip shampooing to keep my hair from over-drying in the winter, but I have not been a fan of dry shampoos. Until I read about Batiste in a fashion magazine. I found it at Sally's and it is relatively cheap. I stock up when I get my quarterly Sally's discount. Best dry shampoo ever!
I bought Stiletto after reading a positive review on this board. And I LOVE it. I use both the black and brown. Wish it came in a plum or khaki green, too. More of a value than the Lancome liner I was using before.
VERY GOOD
Bought this when Soap and Glory was sold at Target. Disappointed I cannot buy at Target anymore, but still have a little left in my tube. I prefer less color in my lip plumpers. This was perfect for the office and the weekends.
I passed on the Waikiki and went with HAUTE IN THE HAMPTONS. I preferred the deep blue shadow over the neon-ish blue. And I like it. Ditto, for $14 you can carry this thru the Summer and not have to purchase any other cosmetics til winter.
One of my favorites!
I have two of the shades....and use them at least once a week. Considering how many eyeshadows I have to choose from, this has become a "go to product". I have Lab (which is a steel gray) and Mutt. THUMBS UP
