I'm fully willing to admit that I am typically afraid of fragrances from the "oriental" family. This one isn't too spicy or heavy. It's a classic, elegant scent that can be worn every day. This fragrance makes me feel beautiful.

I have one Therapy Systems lipstick in Roma, which is an extremely wearable red. You won't get grilled by old ladies in the checkout line at the grocery if you're wearing this at noon on Sunday. It's long lasting and creamy, just like the description says. I've tried a lot of lipsticks and no other brand feels and looks as good as this one does.

I own this in the pink shade and it's completely translucent. That's not a problem for me personally, but I thought I should mention that there is zero pigmentation in this lip gloss. It smells minty and tingles, but doesn't appear to plump my lips any. Also, it doesn't last long AT ALL. This is pricey, so for me it's just not with it.

I own this in Smolder, which is black. This eye liner migrates on me no matter what I do. My eye area is just much to oily for this, I guess. Might recommend to those those have zero oil in the eye area, as its got great pigmentation and is highly blendable.

I have a secret. I'm completely eye liner dumb. I can draw a straight line on paper, but not on my face. When I attempt to line my eyes, it's always too thick and overdone looking. Cue Bare Escentuals Retro Lounge Eye Liner. The brush is AMAZING. It creates the thinnest liner imaginable and it's so soft. I use the eye liner wet and it lasts all day. The color is described as "brown/black" which is 100% accurate. It's almost black, but with the harshness turned completely off. This duo is a winner.

I only have 2 Bobbi Brown eye shadows and they're Navajo and Fog, which are a part of the Pink Raspberry Face Palette. White is a hot color for eyes right now and Najajo is a truly wearable white. Its color can be built, but I tend to wear it sheer. Fog is a dark charcoal gray that I blend on the outer corners of my lids for an updated smokey eye. On top of Urban Decay Primer Potion these last morning to night. I can't wait to try other colors from Bobbi Brown.

MAC by far makes the best eye shadows. The majority of them (there are very, very few exceptions) are extremely pigmented and highly blendable. MAC makes an incredible array of colors as well. Palettes and eye shadows pans (without the black, plastic casing) can be purchased from macpro.com which is great for true makeup fiends like myself.

This scent smells just like the 3-in-1 shower gel by the same name. It's great for those who like foody scents and those who might need a little pampering after a hard day. I fall into both these categories. The scent also lasts a long time, but it's subtler when it sinks into the skin. I bought a few of Philosophy's Body Souffles via the internet all at the same time. Bad move. It's basically lotion in a tub. Lotion that doesn't moisturizer worth a darn. :-(

My hair is considerably smoother after using this dryer than when I use my old Conair (purchased about 8 years ago). I don't feel that it reduces my drying time, but that may be due to the fact that I have a routine that includes some pretty in-depth round brush action. Some days I still get minor frizz, so I continue to be curious about higher end hair dryers like the T3. EDIT: My drying time HAS been reduced and by 10 minutes! I never would have known, but recently I've been looking at the clock! Not bad!

This product is a beautiful marriage of lipstick and lip balm, with sun protection (SPF 12) through in for good measure. The shade I have is "Positano" which a sheer berry. I was going to describe it as without shimmer, but there's very, very small, nearly unnoticable shimmer in this. It doesn't look cheap, just luminous and pretty. It smells like a subtle vanilla and is extremely moisturizing. This is a great product to have.
