Smooth Away Hair Removal

there used to be a way better version of this, send me a message if you know if it still exists.

Back in the nineties there was a version of this that looked like pink fine grit sand paper made into a mitten. I loved it, it was the only thing I could use on my ultra sensitive thighs that I can't shave. Now this is a cheap replacement. Bring back the old one.

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm

can't, won't live without it!

I tried this as a splurge purchase on a sample size at the wholesale beauty store when the check out girl said it was one of her fav. products. I love it and am constanly searching out deals on it. I don;t use it as the directions say though. I use it a little beforeI blow dry and then again after I straighten to smooth and tame frizzies. It has now spawned a whole testing of other Paul Mitchell products. Also love their shine spray (smells great) and light weight hair spray (combs through so easy).

Clinique Continuous Rescue Antioxidant Moisturizer

Great as a night cream

I would love this with spf and might trade my Philosophy When Hope is not Enough spf for it if it had spf. I used it as a night cream and loved it in the winter. Never made me break out which is great cause most things do.

L'Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care System Moisture Shampoo

L'oreal makes another affordable lux product

I tried this because I know alot of luxery brands use sulfate free formulas and I thought this could be a good drugstore version. I really like the shampoo, no complaints except that my hair doesn't always feel 100% free of product whenI'm done shampooing. So once or twice a week I might switch to non-moisturizing formula.

L'Oreal Paris Double Extend Beauty Tubes

I love this and bought 3 more

This is finally the cheap affordable version of Too Faced lash injection and Blink KissMe mascaras. It is the same tubing technology except it includes a primer. I love it and it will now be my go-to 100% waterproof mascara.

Revlon 3D Extreme Waterproof Mascara

gave it away

I tried this because it was BOGO at Walmart and I thought if I liked it, there would be another. I tried it for a couple weeks but the weird brush put me off and it is not as waterproof as other formulas. I gave the free one to my sister and she said she thought it was ok.

Smashbox Bionic Mascara

racoon eyes!

I was excited to try this because I love so many of their other products, however I only tried this for one day and had racoon eyes within 2 hours, no rubbing needed. Try L'Oreal beauty tubes instead but it's only good for a month.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Foaming 3-in-1 Cleansing Gel for Face and Eyes

The best pricey brand for sensitive skin

This is the only cleanser I use besides cetaphil. I buy cetaphil because it is cheaper and they both work equally well for my ultra-sensitive skin. If money were no object I would probably use this more becuase I do love Philosophy products. I especially love When Hope is Not Enough SPF, it is one of the few products I am completely loyal to. try this cleanser if you have sensitive skin and all the other cleansers at Sephora are irritating you.

Avon Wash-Off Waterproof Mascara

Avon does it again.

This works as well as some expensive brands, comes off easily and i really like the brush. The only problems were that the bottle didn't last as long as some bottles do and the formula started to breakdown and transfer before the end of the month. Usually a bottle will last at least a month before it starts to run out and get flaky.

L'Oreal Paris Double Extend Waterproof Mascara

not bad at all.

Most waterproof mascaras do have a level of transfer, I like this one better than most and it comes off easily with even oil-free eye makeup remover. I bought it several times before and buy it whenever it's on sale or has a special offer like BOGO. Not bad for a cheapy.
