I got a free trial sample of Breyers Smooth & Dreamy, so I picked up vanilla. I like the concept of the creation of this special ice cream, however, was not WOWed by the texture. It is too "foamy" for my liking, almost like a "whipped" cream ice cream instead of a denser fudgier ice cream. It's not for me unfortunately. -
Clinique Full Potential Lips Plump and Shine Lip Glosses
The gloss goes on nice and smoothly, and the colour ranges are very nice, and can look good on almost any skin. Great day-to-day lipgloss, but don't buy it for the plumping idea.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette
This is a really fresh and sophisticated scent. It is completely different than most scents. I find it quite masculine, and the scent is very long lasting. It reminds me of the ocean. I always have this on hand for day to day use.

I really think it is a good scent for young girls under the age of 21, otherwise, I would avoid it. I received it as a gift for buying another perfume at the retail store and still have it after so many years. I think it's really meant for younger girls in south beach or on vacation in Cancun. -

Very fresh scent, nice for the office and I consider it a sophisticated smell. This is a staple in my perfume cabinet.

Clinique Happy Perfume
This is my spring time scent, perfect to go with a nice spring dress, reminds me of tulips & daffodils just starting to bloom at the beginning of the season. I think it is a classic scent that is good for every day of the week.

I love MAC's lipgloss becaue it is soooo thick and sticky, it doesn't come off nearly as fast as other lipglosses. The only downside to MAC is that the colour seems to fade after a while, even though the gloss is still on your lips, but other than that, I still keep buying MAC all the time. -
Lancôme Paris Juicy Tubes
It keeps my lips moist when it's on my lips, but I find the formula is very thin and slicks off very quickly. I bought a set of 3 or 4 on a flight to try it out, but I will not be buying any more.

I just read many of the rave reviews about St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I too used it a few times in previous years however, I was told by dermatologists that it is not good for your skin. It claims to deep clean your skin using ground up apricot pits and such, and the fact is, those scrubbers are damaging your skin because when you scrub your face with these "edgy" and "rough" pieces/scrubbers, it will microscopically tear your first layer of skin. Instead, they said to use scrubbers that are smooth - like the ones you see in Biore or Nivea that are smooth (man-made) beads or better yet, to exfoliate skin, they say you should use salicylic acid to exfoliate instead. -

I have my share of drugstore and department store beauty products, but after lots of experimenting with different brands and formulas, Covergirl Lash Exact Waterproof Mascara is now the only mascara I will buy.
I find that the mascara is more effective after the first 1 or 2 weeks of use, not as much as the first few days as it seems to be really slick brand new.
I am asian, so my eyelashes are super short and super straight. What I recommend for all you asian ladies is to quickly heat up your lash curler with a blow dryer (just a couple seconds of hot air). Then curl your lashes (several pinches along your lashes), then use this Covergirl Lash Exact WATERPROOF (must be waterproof) mascara and your lashes will stay curled ALL DAY LONG.
My lashes never stay curled if I curl my lashes then use non waterproof mascara. Please let me know if you try this and if it works for you, it is part of my daily beauty routine since about 10 years ago.
