I bought this blush at Walmart for $3.99 in Heather Silk.This blush is awesome! Its a matte peachy pink color and its extremely pigmented. It gives me a gorgeous glowing awake look to my face. It's way more pigmented than any other blush I've ever tried, but that seems to be the case with all WNW Silk Finish blushes. It glides on super smooth and stays on all day. I just need to lightly sweep my brush on the blush and then put some on my cheek and I'm set. Its important to be very very very careful light handed when using this because its easy to look like a clown. I recommend this blush! -

I paid about $24.00 for this mascara at the Lancome counter at Sears. Based upon my experience with two different tubes of Lancôme Definicils High Definition Mascara my only advice is to avoid it. Don't waste your hard earned money on this product.
I've tried many brands of mascara's. From Clinique, Estee Lauder, Maybelline, L'Oreal, Cover Girl and Almay, and Lancôme Definicils High Definition Mascara is by far the worst of the bunch. It made my eyelashes look so clumpy, and blah!

I ordered Pro Active from the TV, I paid about $25.00 for the 3 step Kit, which contained cleanser, toner and repairing lotion. I used Proactiv for about a month and I had the worst breakout I've ever had. BIG red zits all over my face and many smaller ones around them and on my forehead. My skin was completely dried out and felt so unbalanced. I have never felt so bad about my skin. Very disappointing. Maybe works for some people. I regret that I tried it. -

Nair Easy Microwave Wax Hair Remover - I've been using wax now for a number of years and have always been quite happy until I tried this, all I can say is that its fantastic, no sticky residue left on the skin afterwards and the hair completely gone in one attempt,. Really good in pulling the hairs, even short ones. Left my underarms less swollen (compared to using prewaxed strips) because I didn't have to repeatedly wax the same area to pull hairs out. It's awesome for the upper lip as well. i'm Pleasantly surprised with the effectiveness. Willing to deal with the messiness since it does the job well. I'll be sticking with this product from now on!

After trying many..many mascaras, I have to say, this is one of my favorite. I get so many compliments on my eyelashes when ever I wear this...I think my favorite has to be when I was having my eyebrows waxed, the lady could not believe my eyelashes were real. I do have one complaint...this mascara dries out and becomes crumbly a lot sooner than many of the other brands I have tried...resulting in pieces of mascara in your eye. You r really can't keep this mascara for more than say, two months -

So does Lash Blast work? This mascara works…but it’s not a superstar.
What I Like About Cover Girl LashBlast Mascara:
Length and Volume. In addition to offering decent length, Lash Blast offers respectable volume that’s superior to most non-waterproof, volumizing drugstore mascaras.
Mostly smear-proof and smudge-resistant.
Clump-free. Feel free to load this stuff on. It takes a lot to make it clump.
Ease of Removal. Comes off easily with soap (or in my case, Cetaphil) and water.
What I Don’t Like About CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara:
Loosens Lash Curl. Though not as big of a problem for Lash Blast as it is for most non-waterproof drugstore mascaras, I found that this mascara still uncurled my lashes slightly. The good news is that this problem can be remedied somewhat by “over-curling” your lashes and then allowing the Lash Blast to loosen the curl a bit.
Some flaking after about 6-8 hours of regular wear.
Brush Design. Though the uncommonly big brush does a good job of thoroughly coating lashes and preventing clumps, the lack of a tapered tip on this blunt-ended brush makes it a little difficult to get to those tiny and corner lashes. This isn’t a deal-breaker, but I feel like it’s a significant enough detail that CoverGirl shouldn’t have overlooked it.
The Bottom Line on CoverGirl Lash Blast Mascara: The curling issue prevents me from fully endorsing Lash Blast as a drugstore alternative to Too Faced Lash Injection, which I’ve grown to really like. In all other respects, however, the two products are actually pretty similar.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly deal on a volumizing mascara that’s easy to remove, Covergirl Lash Blast is a good choice.
Covergirl Lash Blast is available for about $7 from wherever you get your drugstore beauty fix.

The colour of the L’Oreal Paris Telescopic mascara is black, it is not waterproof, and the mascara does not smell at all.
The wand of the mascara is like a comb with four lines of rubbery spikes, it’s not as leathful as it sounds.
I t creates long defined lashes like I’ve never had before, it goes on really easy and doesn’t clump, the comb like wand separates the eyelashes as you brush through the lashes.
You get 8ml of black mascara and I found that it has lasted me forever but that’s because the wand applies what is needed to the eyelashes and it does that by the comb, brushing off what isn’t needed.
The cost of the mascara can be around 14.99 thats what i paid at walmart....but it depends on where you go,
The mascara pot is gold and starts off small and the gets slightly bigger to look like the telescope, which is the name of the mascara (telescopic).
The slogan on the mascara says it magnifies at the base of lashes lengthens to the extreme precision multi-comb.
The mascara wasn’t too hard to remove I would say 7/10 for removal.
It is made in Italy, the mascara pot is recyclable.
The L’Oreal website is www.lorealparis.com.
I would definitely recommend this mascara if you’re having trouble with clumping, spider lashes, short lashes this would be the perfect one for you lashes.

Dove is usually selling around $7. The first thing I noticed about Dove was the smell, it was great! No yucky self-tanner smell, just a pleasant lotion smell. On it's website Dove describes the product, "It gradually enhances and evens out your natural skin color, giving you a beautiful summer glow all year long. For great results after about one week, apply daily all over to gradually build a beautiful summer glow." The keyword here is "glow". So does Dove really give you a "glow"? Yes! This product was amazing, with color building gradually but noticeable after the first day. The lotion made my skin noticeably smoother and the color was even. There was not even a hint of orange; the color was more of a bronze. When you apply the lotion it has a bit of a shimmer to it, just enough to make the light reflect off of your skin but not look like you're going to a club. My nails stayed clean, no orange but I took extra care to make sure that I washed them after application. I continued to use Dove for two weeks straight and have not had any common self-tanner problems like streaks or splotches. Overall I was highly pleased with this product and will continue to use it.

Jergens Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer is one of the cheapest gradual tanning lotions on the market. While Jergens retails for $7.50, it is usually always on sale for $5.99 or less depending on the store. It is one of the only sunless moisturizers that offers skin "firming" as one of the benefits. Jergens' website claims, "Jergens® natural glow Firming Daily Moisturizer formula with collagen & elastin delivers clinically proven firming benefits to improve skin elasticity and a subtle skin darkening complex to create a natural-looking, summer glow. Begin to see a firmer appearance after just two weeks of daily use." I purchased the Fair Skin Jergens and tried it out the next day after showering. The directions say, "for best results, use daily as your all-over body lotion. Smooth on evenly until you feel a slight resistance (this is a signal that the product is starting to work). Allow several minutes to dry prior to dressing. Wash your hands after application." I smoothed the lotion on and waited to feel the "resistance" but after several minutes of rubbing the lotion in I decided that I wasn't going to get any. So I waited five minutes before dressing. So far so good. The worst part about the lotion was the smell. It had the "sunless tanning lotion" smell to it. That night, I expected to see orange on the inside of my jeans, but there was nothing! The next day I repeated the process. Still no resistance feeling. At this point I did not notice a difference in my skin color. However, my skin did feel tighter. After the third day of using the lotion I finally noticed a major difference in color. While it wasn't orange, it wasn't exactly the sun-kissed look that I was expecting. The color seemed a little off, almost splotchy on my skin. Nevertheless, I kept trying it, this time taking care to make sure I was smoothing the lotion on as evenly as possible. The next day the color was more even, but this time I could see a tint of orange. My nails were also orange, a sign that I had not washed them enough. I resisted trying the lotion for a 5th day, for fear that I would look like an oompa loompa the next morning. The tan took three days to fade, and as it faded it became very splotchy. I would not use this product again. As for the firming effect, I cannot tell you if it works or not because I did not use the product for two full weeks. If you do choose to try Jergens, make sure that you disperse the lotion on evenly, wash your hands thoroughly after application, and be prepared to be disappointed if it turns orange!
