The idea of simply rolling on eyeshadow seemed, before my purchase, to be quick and easy. While the loose powder was the perfect blend of shimmer and sparkle, it creased within the first hour of wearing it.
Also, I had a hard time trying to put it on evenly, especially once the level of powder decreased. This made it so that I had to tip the tube after each application to re-coat the bottom of the rotating applicator. Not a terrible product, but I'll stick with my eyeshadow palettes.

LUSH Ocean Salt Facial Scrub

I first got this as a sample, and it is an absolutely fantastic product. It smells great (reminds me of citrus, particularly lime), exfoliates, and leaves my skin feeling tingly and clean.
When I first bought my own tub of Ocean Salt, I noticed the blue-with-white-speckles layer on top. This is the coarser grains of salt in the formula, and underneath (making up the majority of the exfoliator) is the finer-grained white component of the formula. When it's all mixed together, Ocean Salt is a fairly smooth turquoise mixture.
As with any other exfoliator, you don't need to use it everyday: only a few times a week does it for me. I love how well it works, but I think the price could be a bit lower. However, it does last me a very long time, and I highly recommend this product.

When this blush first came out, I knew I had to try it. The mousse formula is very light, and I would even describe it as fluffy. It blends on the skin well, and looked very natural. I absolutely adore the container, which I think I'll be keeping.
The only thing I dislike about this product is that there are way too many sparkles, and when I first tested the product with my finger, it took forever to remove them. Personally, I do prefer powder blushes, but I like the creaminess of this blush.

The best feature of this eyeliner, in my opinion, is that their kohl-like pencil can retract. The product applies easily, and there is a built-in sharpener at the end of the case when the tip gets dull.
They say their "waterproof formula won't smear, smudge, or fade", but over time, any makeup will start to wear off. I find that it starts to smudge after about an hour of wear, although the formula does last for many hours, and it does resist water. Overall, it's a good product.

L'Oréal Paris True Match Super Blendable Concealer Fair/Light Warm

Most drugstore brands I have tried lack my shade when it comes to foundation and concealer. L'oreal's True Match is the first brand I've tried which comes closest to my skin tone, which isn't surprising, considering their range of colors.
One tube lasts me about 6 months (I've been through about 3 of them by now), and I prefer its brush applicator over a sponge one. It is unscented, and it blends amazingly well. At about $8, it is definitely worth what I paid.

I've had this phone for a little over a year now. When I first bought it, it was right before the massive QWERTY phone fad began. Now, I've seen many people with the phone and there are actually much more impressive QWERTY phones for sale.
First off, I've dropped this phone many times, and it does scratch and dent easily. (Granted, it was on a concrete floor.) While this is a great phone for texting - I love using the symbols and typing with correct grammar quickly - the button used to send the texts has become flimsy.
I wish there were more skins available with the phone (it has four), or that I could use customized ringtones. But other than that, I am satisfied with the MP3 player, its speakerphone capabilities, the battery life (I recharge about once a week), and even the 1.3MP camera. Though I'm on prepaid, I do plan on sticking with this phone for awhile.

Awhile back, I received a envelope full of samples from Mario Badescu. Included was a small sample of their Healing Cream. The description in the pamphlet they included said that this cream helps prevent acne scars and speeds up the healing process, so I was anxious to try it out.
I was thrilled to find out that it really did help with the acne that was beginning to heal. In addition, it also helped to fade some existing scars.
The product has a very faint perfume scent (nothing like sulfur, thank goodness), and the creamy consistency does slowly dry up over time, but it does not change the effectiveness of the product. I will definitely be purchasing more.
