This shampoo had Dead Sea water and silt, carrot juice and carrot seed oil, chamomile flower, olive, and sweet almond oils, and calendula and jojoba seed oils to nourish and moisturize hair. It has a most pleasant fragrance, enjoyable lather, and is a joy to use. Hair is left completely cleansed, shiny, and any frizz is controlled with this.

The unique, S-shaped brush grabs, lifts, and tints each and every lash. This is a fluid, creamy mascara which definitely accentuates my lashes. The increase in volume is dramatic. Lashes are nicely separated with no clumping, flaking, or smearing.

These shades are so incredibly beautiful. Lauder offers this wonderful gloss in a huge range of colors, from delicate colors to rich berries. It has a luminous, mirror-like shine and is never tacky, just the perfect gloss. I'm planning to purchase several more.

I wanted to be around my husband before I dated him because he wore "Tuscany" and always smelled so sexy. "Tuscany per Donna" is not a amazing as the male version, but it is quite feminine, floral, warm, and sensual. Top notes are rose, muguet, citrus, and Mediterranean herbs; middle notes are jasmine, carnation, honeysuckle, and peony; and bottom notes are sandalwood, amber, and vanilla. It is definitely a treat!

Who doesn't want smaller pores? I tried Estèe Lauder's "Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher" and was pleased. Lauder claims that you will see pores which are a third of their size; I'd like to know how do you measure something like that. But it is a good primer which does disguise pores to some degree, along with uneven patches, redness, and fine lines. This is packed full of potent ingredients. Lauder uses acetyl glucosamine, which they claim helps to detach dead cells from living skin. Part of acetyl glucosamine is hyaluronic acid, the value of which has been recognized. A strong silicone base gives it the velvety, smooth feel which helps it to glide on. Iron oxides, mica, and titanium dioxide provide a "brightening" and light-deflecting effect (think of how mica is used in eye shadow, blush, and lipsticks for glimmer and sheen). Plant-based anti-inflammatory ingredients do help to minimize redness, while antioxidants such as green tea protect your complexion from free radicals. Who knew that in this sweet-smelling lotion are mulberry root, yeast, and saw palmetto extracts; chestnut seed and green leaf extracts; caffeine (which constricts blood vessels and, thus, redness); lavender, coriander, cholesterol, and glycerin? That's not all it includes. I found the scent very pleasant. My skin feels amazingly soft when I use this, seems slightly plumped, and there is a diminished appearances in terms of pores and tiny lines which have begun to appear. Foundation--even powder--simply glides on over this and stays in place beautifully. This is helpful in concealing acne scars, patches, and redness as well, and no oil will exacerbate future breakouts. There is a definite brightening effect, probably due to the aforementioned ingredients. The main selling point for me is that this does not feel heavy or oily on my skin; I don't want to know I'm wearing a primer, and I am unaware of it with "Idealist."

I knew from the first time I saw Lauder's golden compacts that I would want to carry one in my purse at my wedding, and I did! It was pure luxury to pull out and touch up my nose, even in private. My mother told me that all women used to have highly decorated compacts, many of which held lipsticks as well, and I wish they would bring this trend back. I love, love, love my compact! It holds precious memories.

I haven't worn this for awhile, but I have great memories of this lush, warm scent. I used to wear it generally in the winter because of the warmth, and sometimes I find it heavy. All in all, it's nice, though.

Wet and Wild has created some truly creative, fun, sexy colors here. Mix and match for a variety of looks. The shadow doesn't crease nor budge--and it's great for my budget!

This is a GREAT brow palette--mix the two brow powders for the shade you need. Use the wax to groom brows (brush upward and outward for a "wide-awake," "big-eyed" look). I love the tiny tweezers which come with the palette (you never know when you need them) and the stiff-bristled brush.

There is a lot of blush in the compact, the color is gorgeous, and it applies so sheerly that you're sure you're working with a product from Estee Lauder or Chanel. Hard to believe you can get this for the price!
