Although I don't think that this product is a necessity, I will pick it up when I feel like my skin it getting a little bit dull. I do a spray right after showering, before I apply my antioxidant, to help seal in moisture. I also use it to set my makeup and make it look dewier (this can be very important, as makeup often seems to highlight my dry skin) and then use it throughout the day to refresh my skin. When I worked in an office with very dry air, I used this A LOT. The effects aren't dramatic, but it does help skin feel moisturized and comfortable and gives it a little extra glow.

I always keep a bottle of Essie nail polish in Marshmallow around; I really like to use it as a base color under a sheer pink (usually either OPI's Sweetheart or Hopelessly in Love). It's a nice, opaque white with a very slight undertone of pink. It really gives more impact to a sheer color, and the overall effect it very smooth and shiny.

I have a fondness for DuWop Lip Venom because it became really trendy when I was in high school: one of my friends bought it in England and then all of a sudden everyone had to have it! I haven't used it in several years, but I remember that I liked that it felt kind of tingly going on and was kind of spicy! It did make my lips rosier when I first put it on, due to the spiciness, but I had to reapply it often to maintain the enhanced color. As far as I could tell, it didn't make my lips any fuller or plumper, but I haven't had any luck with any plumping lip glosses since then, either.

I usually use the non-waterproof version of this mascara and I once bought the waterproof version instead. It's a great mascara either way, though! I prefer mascara to be non-waterproof because it's easier to remove, but if you prefer waterproof mascara, I would highly recommend Diorshow to you. It is perfect for giving you long, lush, thick lashes. You can put on a coat or two for a clean, wide-eyed look during the day, or put on more for a dramatic look at night. It never gets clumpy and it doesn't smudge. I love this mascara!

Like Dr. Huaschka's Rose Day Cream, I found this moisturizing cream to be less than impressive. Although it did not irritate my sensitive skin, it didn't do anything spectacular in the moisturizing or smoothing departments. A basic drugstore brand moisturizer is just as good, and much less expensive.

I love, love, love Diorshow mascara. I have black eyelashes naturally, but they are very fine and, before I started using Latisse, they were pretty short. I use this in Black, and it really emphasizes my lashes. I apply it by kind of zig-zagging the brush under my upper lashes and lightly brush it over the lower lashes to make them look thick and full. It makes my lashes look thicker without clumping or looking overdone. Even with multiple layers, I don't feel like it ever gets to be too much. It's just pretty and sophisticated.

I had read several reviews of Dr. Hauscka's Rose Day Cream recommending it as a soothing, moisturizing treatment for sensitive skin, so I decided to give it a try. I will say that it does have a nice, light texture (I can't stand heavy moisturizers or skin treatments) and it didn't bother my sensitive skin at all. However, I wouldn't say that there's anything special about this product: it didn't make my skin any more soft or smooth than other moisturizers. I don't think it's worth the price.

I always buy Dial Body Wash in Spring Water; my husband and I both use it. It smells really good and, even though scented skin care products often bother my sensitive skin, this actually makes my skin feel softer and smoother. The fresh scent stays with me all day. This is a favorite!

I keep buying these, mostly because they're so inexpensive and I can kind of be an impulse buyer...I will say in their favor that they come in a wide array of colors. However, I don't think the color deposit is very good and they aren't very versatile: with the lighter colors I find that I have to apply several layers to get noticeable color and then it looks too thick. The darker colors aren't bad, I have a black and a brown color that are decent, but they aren't my favorite eye shadows.

I really like this dryer; it's lightweight but it's a workhorse. I've had mine for several years, and it's still going strong. It came with a couple of attachments, I think one is a diffuser and one targets the air more specifically; however, I also bought an additional Conair attachment that is a super-wide ceramic diffuser, and I really like that. Since y hair is very fine, it's important that it not get overheated in any one spot. I use this dryer with a vented ceramic round brush to give my hair some lift at the roots and to smooth it to the ends. My hair dries quickly and with a lot of shine. I will sometimes also use the cold air function to lock the style in. All in all, this is a great, inexpensive dryer.
