I love YSL perfumes and was prepared to love this one too. What I love about most YSL fragrances is the sheer sophistication and subtle smoothness. Not so with "Paris". It is heavy with floral and fruity notes where I prefer spicy oriental. Those who like floral scents may love this, because even underneath the floral is that signature YSL sophisticated base note. A little less floral/fruity and a little more spicy/oriental would have suited me better. Can't fault the perfume... just not for me. -

I like most Benefit cosmetics and I wanted to like this blush, but I was thoroughly disappointed in the results. Goes on too heavily, hard to control how much you're putting on, even though I tried several different brushes. Finally I just gave up. Not worth the trouble. -
bareMinerals Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF15

I'm only lukewarm about this product. When you first put it on, it looks great. So smooth. But after wearing it a while (and not all that long, either) it begins to look pasty and more like "makeup" than regular makeup. What I want is the natural look, which you almost get with this when it's freshly applied, but it doesn't last, at least in my experience. So while it does work, it's still a ho-hum product in my opinion. -
Olay Regenerist Daily Thermal Mini-Peel
The price is a bit steep for what it does, but what it does is worth a try if you have problem skin like mine. I use it in the shower, after my face is wet. It releases a gentle heat when mixed with water and you can feel it working on your skin... +
The price is a bit steep for what it does, but what it does is worth a try if you have problem skin like mine. I use it in the shower, after my face is wet. It releases a gentle heat when mixed with water and you can feel it working on your skin. Tiny abrasive elements scrub dead skin cells away. It's like a double acting product. I really like it, but it may not be for everyone. -
St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub

Of all the apricot scrubs I've tried (and I think I've tried them all!) this is by far the best of the best. Never mind the bargain discount price. This is not a case of getting what you pay for. This is a case of the best bargain in the beauty isle. It works. Simple as that. The tiny apricot grits scrub your face gently to reveal a smooth, fresh look underneath what gets sloughed away. Highly recommended. -
Havaianas Flip Flops
I too was skeptical. How could plain old flip flops be worth so much money? But once you try them on, you notice the difference right away. They are really soft and comfortable, so much so that you feel like they'll just fall apart as soon as... +
I too was skeptical. How could plain old flip flops be worth so much money? But once you try them on, you notice the difference right away. They are really soft and comfortable, so much so that you feel like they'll just fall apart as soon as you wear them. But they don't. They're very well made. this is my first pair, but after reading what others have to say about them lasting for years, I expect to be wearing these next year as well. If you haven't tried them, you should! -
