Dior Show Blackout Mascara
Love it. The same quality Diorshow that you're used to in a deep, intense black. Gives thick, long lashes with only one or two strokes and doesn't smear or smudge throughout the day. Limited edition and only at Sephora, so grab it while you can!

Kai Perfume Oil by Kai

First, a disclaimer about the price - I only purchased a small sample bottle. I tend to do this before I buy an entire bottle, because I want to be sure I love it. At any rate, this will probably be my summer frangrance. I am in love with gardenia scents, especially in the summer. I think Kai has more depth and feeling than my previous favorite, Marc Jacobs. Perhaps it's the oil application, I'm not sure. But it is deliciously rich and is like summer in a bottle. I'm currently torn between this one and Monyette Paris. It's a tough decision! -

This is one of the most comprehensive shaving kits I have ever come across. Not only is it full of high quality products, it is an education in shaving sensitive areas. I have struggled with ingrown hairs and razor burn in "that" area, and this kit pretty much got rid of all of that. I credit the Magic Spray the most. This is a simple spray that you put on once daily to gently exfoliate and keep ingrown hairs at bay. That product alone was almost worth the somewhat high price of $39.99. I liked the shaving gel, but it wasn't anything special, and the razor oil was a nice olive oil, which was great, especially since I had never used razor oil before, but still nothing out of the ordinary. The spray, though, was excellent. I plan to keep buying the spray, but I probably won't replenish any of the other products in the kit. The single blade razors I can find at Rite Aid, I have plenty of olive oil (is it just me, or is olive oil being used in everything lately?), and a regular shaving cream (or BeneFits Bathina if I'm feeling especially frisky) works great for me. Overall, I feel like I paid for education, which is just fine with me - I no longer have a scary bikini area! -
Revlon Limited Edition Just Bitten Lip Stain
Oh, Just Bitten, how much do I love you? More than my Urban Decay Lip Envy. More than my MAC lipstain. So that is a great deal, indeed. First, I am a lover of lipstains. I prefer to put a nice stain on my lips once or twice during the day, and just... +
Oh, Just Bitten, how much do I love you? More than my Urban Decay Lip Envy. More than my MAC lipstain. So that is a great deal, indeed. First, I am a lover of lipstains. I prefer to put a nice stain on my lips once or twice during the day, and just touch up my gloss. This is because I tend to forget that I'm even wearing a lip product that requires attention at all, and my lips will go bare if they aren't touched with stain. I love the Cherry color, because it does indeed look as if you've been eating a ripe, red, juicy cherry and just didn't care to wipe your lips off. Color is deep and true, and lasts almost 4 hours on me. Only drawback is that once it starts to fade, you must touch up or else you look as if you lined your lips and forgot to fill in with your lipstick. One of the best Revlon products that I've ever tried - I just hope this one will be around in some form in the future. Otherwise, I'm going to have to go stock up now. -

Ulta.com tells us that Stir It Up Eyeshadow is a cream eyeshadow that is comprised of three colors that you "stir" up to make a deep-looking shade. Frankly, when I stirred it up, all I got was a big mess with some huge flecks of glitter. Like the glitter that my kids use at preschool. In pink. It's rather disappointing, really, because the three colors in the pan really look like something I would use. And since I bought something out of the Underground line, I was counting on a bit more glitz than I was used to. But not big huge flakes of glitter. That's just not the look I want during the day. Or ever, really. But the consistency was nice, and it did go on smoothly and evenly, and lasted all day. So perhaps I was overzealous with my stirring. Or I should have used a brush rather than my finger. I'm not ready to write this one off yet, since other Rimmel products I've tried I've been quite happy with. But I wouldn't go get another one of these hoping for a better result just yet. -
Nintendo DS Lite
Love it. Tons of fun and will even work with old GameBoy games. Helpful when you don't want to give up your original NES Super Mario Brothers that came out with the very first Game Boy. Love the stylus. Needs a super cute case for carrying around.

This is a must have. There isn't anything worse than dry flaky lips - especially when you're an avid lipstain user like I am. I use this faithfully every week (at least) and it leaves my lips smooth, moisturized, and free of chappy skin. Cocoa butter is the main moisturizer, and sugar is the exfoliant. It's almost addicting! -

This is a great product if you don't factor in the price. Really, I used it only as a restyling tool rather than a leave in conditioner. I didn't find the leave in conditioner part to bring anything to the table compared to other more reasonably priced products on the market. However, as a morning after restyler, it's awesome. Perfect mix of glossing agent and conditioners work to keep hair looking healthy, not greasy. I just have a hard time getting past the price, and probably wouldn't buy it again. I don't need it enough to justify the price. -

This is my favorite conditioner ever. Non-greasy and lightweight, it is still powerful enough to help tame my unruly, coarse, curly hair. Definitely helps with the frizzies, and leaves hair very soft and easy to work with. Has definitely helped stave off the damage I inflict with the blow dryer and hot iron every couple of days. Another must have for me, and well worth the money. -

I love this shampoo. It has a heavenly scent and is so thick and rich. It's super gentle and makes my curly and unruly hair behave. I don't know if it's the Ojon palm nut oil as the manufacturer claims, but it definitely has some softening effects. I have never used it without the conditioner, however, but I would highly recommend that too. I have read other reports that said hair is a bit on the dry side, but my hair would look very much like straw if I used no conditioner at all. All in all, very highly recommended. One of my absolute favorites. -
