Victoria's Secret Ultra Moisturizing Hand & Body Cream
What it is: deeply emollient, scented cream. Where to get it: Victoria's Secret online & in-stores How much: $9.50 each OR 3/$24, 5/$30, 7/$35; can be mix & matched with other VS Secret Garden products/scents. What I like about it: this stuff... +
What it is: deeply emollient, scented cream.
Where to get it: Victoria's Secret online & in-stores
How much: $9.50 each OR 3/$24, 5/$30, 7/$35; can be mix & matched with
other VS Secret Garden products/scents.
What I like about it: this stuff is definitely emollient. It smoothes on
and leaves my skin incredibly soft and super moisturized.
What could be improved: nothing really, this is good stuff.
Overall: I'm sure if you're a VS lover, you've already been exposed to
this product. But in the case that you haven't had the chance to try
this out, you really should head to your nearest VS store and see what's
up. It comes in a variety of scents, so you're bound to find one that
suites your taste. You'll find this product very useful, especially if
you live where the weather dries out your skin or if you just happen to
have very dry skin.

What it is: lip plumper & gloss, double ended tube.
Where to get it: EyesLipsFace.com
How much: $1
What I like about it: this particular shade is really pretty! It really
lives up to its name, baby doll. Consistency wise, its not tacky or
sticky, goes on smooth. Perfect for everyday. Plus it gives off a nice
cooling effect.
What could be improved: its a little difficult to get it out of the
tube. You gotta scoop out the product little by little to get enough to
put on your lips. Also, it doesn't plump my lips at all.
Overall: this is a really great product, and not just for its price. I
think its a really great product over all. They have plenty of shades to
choose from, any lip-junkie should definitely check this out!

What it is: colored cream stick that may be applied to eyes, lips, &
face.
Where to get it: EyesLipsFace.com
How much: $1
What I like about it: I love this color! It's sheer and gives off just
enough glow. Perfect for highlighting.
What could be improved: I know it only costs a buck, but there simply
just isn't a lot of product in it. I just want a little more bang for my
buck, that's all.
Overall: its worth a try. I don't necessary recommend this for everyone,
a lot of people might not find it useful. But if you're into makeup as
much as me, you'll find ways of including this in your routine.

What it is: powder blush
Where to get it: EyesLipsFace.com
How much: $1
What I like about it: I love EVERYTHING about it. The color is lovely
against my golden-olive skin. It also blends really well, surprisingly
well, since most inexpensive blushes are so cheaply made that they look
harsh even after blending for so long.
What could be improved: nothing, I love this blush.
Overall: if you have no idea which color blush to get, definitely give
this one a shot! In case you don't like it as blush, the color is pretty
enough to use as eyeshadow.

What it is: Gel-like cream that holds in moisture all day long. Can be
worn under or over makeup.
Where to get it: clinique.com and clinique counters.
How much: $34 for 1.7 oz. -- $46.50 for 2.5 oz., I got mine as part of a
gift set (it was a birthday present, sample size).
What I like about it: it leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and
smooth. Such a great alternative to primers and regular face
moisturizers. This didn't leave me oily at all.
What could be improved: I got mine as a gift, but in order to
repurchase, I'd have to shell out well over $30, which is a bit too high
for my blood.
Overall: really great product! If u ever get the chance to sample this,
get it as a gift, or if u can afford it, definitely give it a try!
-- EDIT 5/22/09 --
After a week straight of daily use, this product started to break me out. I dunno if it contains an ingredient that I'm sensitive to or if it was slowly clogging my pores. What I do know, is that I will not be continuing to use this product.
So with that, I've decided to mark it down one star, from 4 stars, now its down to 3 stars. It still feels really great on the skin that's why I don't want to discourage anyone from trying this out. My skin isn't identical to your skin so this may turn out to be an awesome product for you.

What it is: tinted lip balm
Where to get it: Bath & Body Works in stores & online.
How much: $8 (pls correct me if I'm wrong)
What I like about it: sheer, goes on smooth. Just like its lipgloss
cousins, it provides a tingle on the lips when applied.
What could be improved: there's a very distinctive smell and it's not
very pleasing.
Overall: when I first purchased this, there were on 3 colors to choose
from. So definitely, I'd suggest that they create more shades. Also,
that smell that it comes with, it definitely needs to be looked into
because it's such a deal breaker.

What it is: glossing mist, adds shine to hair.
Where to get it: Victoria's Secret stores & online.
How much: $10 by itself OR 3/$24 (mix & match any So Sexy haircare
product)
What I like about it: it leaves a very nice, light scent. It really
makes even the driest hair shine.
What could be improved: nothing really.
Overall: this product really compares to Frederic Fekkai's Glossing
mist, which costs approx. $20. So considering this is about half the
price, and similar results, this is definitely worth looking into.

What it is: Long lasting liquid foundation. This product also comes in a
formula for Normal/Dry Skin.
Where to get it: drugstores or where ever Revlon cosmetics are sold.
How much: approx. $14 at CVS
What I like about it: really great coverage. I stayed oil free for
about 3-4 hours, but the coverage remained untouched.
What could be improved: gives off a really white cast in pictures. They
need to offer more shades with more undertone choices.
Overall: I really like this product. I avoid taking pictures w/it on
because it gives off that ghostface affect. But in person, you can't see
it so it's cool to wear for everyday use.

What it is: hair balm that helps to flatten hair while protecting it
from the heat of a flat iron. Also makes her shine.
Where to get it: I got mine at CVS and thats about the only place I've
seen it at.
How much: $6.99 @ CVS
What I like about it: first, let me explain that even though this says
"balm", its actually a spritz which I love because you never really have
to touch the product and get your fingers all sticky.
I used this during a very cloudy but humid day, and my gawd! My hair
stayed pin-straight! Absolutely no frizz, no flyaways! I didn't use it
as a finishing spray, even though it says I could. So I can't judge the
extra shine it gives off. Typically, after flat ironing, your hair will
shine anyway, so I didn't notice any significant difference in how shiny
my hair was.
What could be improved: nothing really, this is a really great product!
Overall: I will definitely be repurchasing and I totally recommend it!

What it is: root lifting volumizer spray
Where to get it: drugstores, beauty stores and anywhere else Tresemme
products are sold.
How much: I got mine at CVS for approx. $4
What I like about it: gives great volume, not sticky, not heavy, and not
stiff at all.
What could be improved: I'm not sure about the whole 24hr business... I
styled my hair around 11am and about 4pm-ish, the volume had already
began to fall. If I used this to style my hair for a regular work day,
by lunch time my hair would have probably fallen flat already.
Overall: I like this product, but I don't love it. I think I'll stick to
its cousin the Big Boost Root Lifting spray, also from Tresemme.
