This lasts all day long and I love, love, love the shades, but I have to keep refreshing it with some type of lip balm. Other than that, it's wonderful.

Most moisturizers leave me with tiny blemishes or a rash. I've used this since my early 20's. It has a nice texture, not too thick, and sinks into skin quickly. So far it's keeping the wrinkles away.

I moisturize my lips all year long, but the oft-brutal Pennsylvania winters leave them extremely dry, no matter how hard I work to protect and shield them. I've tried nearly every type of lip balm imaginable, but as soon as it wears off, my lips return to being parched, chapped, and hardly a canvas for color of any sort. I find myself needing to use a lip-exfoliating product just so that lipstick applies evenly. What to do? Enter Fresh's "Sugar Petal Tinted Lip Treatment." The color? It looks like you just bit your lips--that's how natural and flattering the flush is! Get ready for a surprise: The sugar included in this wondrous product is a humectant itself, preventing moisture loss! Although I enjoy Chapstick greatly, some people don't like the waxy feel. Blistex is another happy alternative for me, but many women grumble that it is too medicinal. You won't have these complaints with Fresh's balm. It is replete with a multitude of oils to soften, smooth, and heal. The main ingredient is gentle beeswax, followed by oils from castor seed, jojoba, olive, grape seed, black currant, and sunflower. There is carnauba wax, present in the majority of lipsticks available and in a plethora of other cosmetics. Most often, I layer the balm over my FAVORITE, GO-TO lipstick (Color-Changing Lipstick by Tangee, available at The Vermont Country Store for a mere $14.95), which works itself more powerfully than any other lipstick to keep my pout pliable, even in the most bitter temperatures. In better weather conditions, I use Fresh alone. It is available for about $22.00 at Sephora in a variety of shades, from pink, peach, plum, bronze, and raspberry to a true crimson red (handy for when you're feeling like a flirty little vixen). Lips not only feel dewy, but they appear more plump. The price may seem a bit high, but when I add up all that I have spent on other brands, I can more than justify its use!

I don't know how to describe this perfume except that it is so light and cool and fresh. I fell in love the first time I smelled it and the love affair continues. It's perfect for warm weather, but I wear it in the fall and winter too. It's so gorgeous.

For a drugstore stain, this may be just a tad drying, but it's worth it for the wear. It beats all of the other drugstore lip stains I've tried and many of the expensive ones from Sephora, Ulta and department stores. I think you get more than your money's worth.

I keep buy more and more compacts. The shadow is so silky and stays on all day (and night). The colors are coordinated to blend together well. This is department store quality at a drugstore price.

For the price, you get ten perfect colors which really make your eyes pop. They do have a little glitter, but you can still wear them during the day. At night, they are better than great! I like to use them wet for a smoky night look. No matter how I use them, they make me look good!

First I wanted to kick myself for spending so much on a mascara, but a saleswoman at the Lancome counter talked me into it somehow. It's AMAZING! It gives me tons of length and volume but no "fake" look. My lashes aren't crunchy and don't stick out like spider legs. I love how it applies and how long it wears without clumps or smudges.

I have thick curly hair and some products will dry it out and leave it in tangles. This leaves my hair soft and shiny. The smell is great. I don't wash my hair everyday any more and this doesn't weigh it down with oils or waxes.

I have to have waterproof mascara in the summer. I read a few things about this, but it did basically nothing. It colored my lashes well and added a little length and volume, but smudging was a huge problem. Taking this mascara off is also messy. It's hard to describe, but no matter what you use you wind up with little pieces of it stuck to lashes.
