Kiehl's Deluxe Hand & Body Lotion with Aloe Vera & Oatmeal

A different direction

This scent doesn't last long, but it's a treat when you put it on. The coriander (one of my favorite spices) is fresh & green and has an energetic feel. I use this at work during the mid-afternoon slump. Can't tell if it has real softening powers, but it's definitely different.

Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils

Not worth its weight in gold

I wished I'd loved this. It's a fabulous gold tube & feels like there's something substantial inside. But the mascara isn't special, in fact there are many others that exceed this one. I found it makes my lashes too spikey, and I'd prefer a wand that thickens more consistently. I was so disappointed, but keep shopping - you can do better than this.

Vincent Longo Diamond Lip Gloss

Rich, sweet and no calories!

Vincent Longo's lipsticks and glosses are all soft and sweet. They feel good and have a pleasant scent (the gloss especially, it's vanilla, but not overpowering) $22 is a lot to pay, and I hope there's plenty more in the tube because I've been using this alone, or on top of my lipstick, every day.
