Although I didn't purchase this myself, I would buy this again if I didn't currently use Retin-A. The eye cream is packed with retinol and a good starter eye cream for women who have not taken the Retin-A plunge as of yet. It is lightweight and not greasy.

During an affair with QVC, I bought Bronze and Brighten -- even without The Hubster knowing and right under his nose at about 3:00 in the morning. That had to have been more than three years ago, and I am still using the same bronzer today. I know: For hygenic reasons, I really should toss this in the trash. It was the first bronzer I had used that didn't turn my skin orange. I am a fair-skinned blonde with pink undertones, but my bronzers always look like the old QT on me.

I was very disappointed with Sonia's face palette. In an attempt to downsize on a recent trip and having bought other Kashuk product, I purchased this at Target and tossed it in my luggage untested. The next morning at the hotel, I applied the palette and was disappointed not only with the colors but the consistency of the lipstick and the concealer. The eye shadows were good color choices and consistent with her line, as was the blush.

Oh, I was so sold on the name -- Hard As Wraps -- but woe, is me, the product was not any different than Hoof Lacquer or other top coats that I have used in the past. My nails are so brittle that I must be heading toward an osteoporotic existence. In addition, it contains acrylic gel, which I try to avoid, but I didn't read the fine print until I bought it. I am trashing it after I write this review.

I already spend a good chunk of money on toothpaste that I buy from my dentist's office. Amazingly, GoSmile has similar ingredients and similar results. Admittedly, the doc's paste is cheaper than GoSmile, but it does a good job for an OTC toothpaste. I use other GoSmile products because they are gentle enough to use on veneers.

I usually wait until the last minute to get my faux glow on, and then it's too late to use a self-tanning product. Almay bare-it-all legs in warm veil is a perfect last minute trick for my pale skin. I also use Clinique bronzer (from the men's line) to give my legs a quick boost of color. Just be careful where you spray. I spray Almay on in the shower so any excess can be washed down the drain. Although it won't rub off on fabric if you brush up against something, you still need to be careful, especially with white. If you have the time, self-tanner is better.

I wouldn't say that I am OCD, but I do like an organized handbag. In addition, I change handbags faster than Hollywood changes husbands. The clear bags let me see what I've got going on in my handbag. I have one for cosmetics, one for receipts and change, and one for a small camera, my cell phone, and extra keys. For the price, when it starts showing wear, I just toss it and buy a new one.

I bought this for my first attendance at New York Fashion Week this past January. I thought, "If anybody sees how I treat my brushes, they will call Social Brush Services." This housed my brushes in an organized, neat manner. I felt like one of the Bobbi Brown makeup artists that were walking in the back door of the tent with their suitcases of product. I have spilled makeup on the case, inside the case, over the case, but the spills wipe up easily, and the brush case still looks new. Wears and travels well.

Since I am leary of pedicure safety unless I know the salon or they are using a moveable foot bath, I generally give myself a pedi at home. I use Sally Hansen Just Feed Deep Callus Foot Scrub on my feet at night. It removes the tough, hard skin that develops from wearing my big, orthopedic-looking shoes while power walking, as well as softens with shea butter and olive oil. (I even use it on my legs, too.) The next morning, my feet feel like they have been pampered at a salon.

With all the makeup that I own and a touch of germaphobia, you would think I would have been smarter and bought brush shampoo sooner than six months ago. This is so easy to use that I now wash my brushes every day. With a fresh smelling scent, this leaves your brushes clean and soft. Just a couple of squirts, rinse your brush, squeeze out the excess, and you are ready for the next go around.
