Ben Nye Luxury Powders - Banana Visage Poudre

First to recommend

Description

This is an amazing powder. It is comparable to the infamous T. Le Clerc's Banane. I've tried both the T. Le Clerc and the Ben Nye and you really can't beat the Ben Nye. The yellow of the Ben Nye is just a tad darker, but the texture and quality I feel are comparable. If you use any "banane" type power, such as Bobbi Brown, Benefit, and T. Le Cler's, you have nothing to lose with this powder. A smaller size is $8.50 and the large size is $11.50 (I have the smaller size which comes in a shaker bottle, which I like). I always have a bottle of this in my makeup arsenal.

NYX 3 Color Eyeshadow

Description

These shadows as simply amazing. Seriously, they are the same quality as MAC shadow, for much cheaper. My fav. trio is Aloha, Mink Brown, Deep Bronze (I have brown eyes). These shadows glide on and have amazing staying power. At approx. $5.00 for a trio of shadow what have you got to loose!

Ben Nye LiquiSet

First to recommend

Description

This is an amazing product! It can take any powder eyeshadow and make it into a smudge proof/budge proof liquid. I use it when I want to make eyeliner out of my MAC pigments or Bare Escentals eye shadows (you could use it to foil the eye shadows too). Too Faced, Benefit and more recently Bare Escentals make similar products, but much, much more expensive (especially for how much product you get) and none of those products (I've tried them) work nearly as well as LiquiSet. A medium sized bottle of this stuff is $8.00 (a small size is $4.75....which is an equivalent size of the Bare Escental's sealer which is $18.00) and will last forever!

I have put on my eyeliner at 5:00 a.m. (getting ready for work), worked all day and gone out to a concert at night and my eyeliner will be perfect when I come home. It works that well.

Using this really expands your eyeliner colors. While I love my MAC Fluidline and Smashbox JetSet, the colors are limited, compared to being able to turn any eye shadow into a budge proof eyeliner.

Creative Scentualization - Perfect Veil Eau de Parfum

First to recommend

Description

If I could only own one perfume, it would be this one. It smells so amazing. I always get compliments when I wear this. It's a clean and sexy smell. I like it because it is very subtle and not overpowering. If you are looking for a new perfume to try, check this one out. You won't be sorry.

Gillette Venus Breeze Razor Plus Shave Gel Bars

First to recommend

Description

I have been using the Schick Intuition razor. I really like the convenience of having the shave gel built into the razor so to speak (I shave every day....I detest body hair). However, the gel bar on the Intuition always would ware down unevenly and I felt like I was wasting cartridges. Before the Intuition I had used the regular Venus razor and really liked it. So,when the Venus Breeze came along I figured I would give it a try. I LOVE this razor. The gel on this wears down evenly, so I don't feel like I'm wasting the cartridge. The handle on this is also thinner and much easier to grip than the Intuition. I love this product!

Dove Pro Age Neck & Chest Beauty Serum

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I'm almost done with my first bottle of this and I will definitely be repurchasing. While this is from the "Pro Age" line by Dove, this would benefit anyone of any age. I use this morning and night on my neck and chest and lotion on the rest of my body. I like the extra moisture this balm adds to these delicate areas. This balm contains glycerin (which I think gives it that balmy smooth consistency) and olive oil which gives it the nice moisturized feeling. I don't visually notice a difference in regards to smoothing out lines (I don't have any lines or wrinkles), but my skin looks nice and moisturized and feels great.

WEN Fig Cleansing Conditioner

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

This has literally changed the way my hair looks. I have fine wavey hair that is color treated. I also blowdry and use a straightening iron on my hair. For the life of me no matter what I did my hair would look like a big frizzball. Not any more! Wen has saved my hair. You can use this as a shampoo and leave-in conditioner. I actually just use it as a leave-in conditioner to ration it better....and I get the same results. I can really tell the difference if I don't use this. When I use my hair comes out wonderful, smooth and shiny. If I don't, hello frizzball. Seriously this is the best conditioning product I have ever used. Amazing stuff!!
