Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro Nail Lacquer

bad news

the brush, which is designed wider in order to cover more area, was askew -- not rounded. polish did not distribute evenly. really disappointed. thrown out after one use. was hoping it would be as good as sally hanson insta-dry. not so

L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara

difficult to work with

Okay mascara, but the wand makes it hard to apply without clumpage. will give it a shot with some disposable wands, but I am not sure it will give me extra length or not. It IS a nice, heavily pigmented black, however. Also, if you are going for the spidery lash look, this mascara used with the included wand is ideal.

E.L.F. Mineral Mineral Lipstick

Femme Couture eyebrow pencil

Horrible!! Bought this at Sally Beauty. It would make any marks on my brow at all. I tried warming it between my fingers -- nothing. The only way I could get it to work was by wetting the tip. I bought the one for redheads, so I can't speak for the other colors. This one was a wash.

St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub

St. Ives Apricot Scrub

Why pay the big bucks to exfoliate?? This stuff is wonderful. I use the medicated one. Use it on my forehead and nose everyday to help ward off blackheads and then all over my bod two to three times a week. Also, just read in Allure magazine that Iman uses it too!! Cute, huh?

Vaseline Firming Lotion

Sticky

Smells okay. It may moisturize, but it leaves my skin feeling tacky, not smooth

Pravana Deep Hydrating Hair Masque

Soft, new hair

Gives hair a soft, silky, hydrated feeling. Easy to use. I use it once a week. I suppose it's good for what you get for your money. My colorist recommended it to use after she'd dyed my hair from dark brown to a vibrant red which had required her to 'color correct' (bleach) my hair.

Neutrogena Extra Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads

ineffective

These pads may be okay to use again in the morning to remove what's left over from cleansing and removing your make up before bed. I wouldn't call them gentle, though, because I lost a lot of lashes trying to remove my mascara. Not good. I ended up using two pads for each eye in an effort to get everything off. I bought these while traveling but I won't waste my money and lashes again.
