Bobbi Brown Sheer Lip Color

My go to lipstick for daily wear

This is perfect for a little color and a lot of moisture. The colors are great and it lasts a long time (both on the lip and in the tube).

bareMinerals Liner Shadow Duo

Probably user error... but messy

I have used this for about 1 month. It is very difficult to line my upper lid without getting the powder on my skin below my eye -- and I definitely don't need any more dark down there! It's difficult to remove from that area (I have to use eye makeup remover). I have learned to do eyes first.

Dr. Hauschka Neem Hair Oil

It's a miracle for my sun-damaged slightly older hair!!!

First, I really love this product. It is recommended for use as a pre-shampoo treatment, but I use it as a leave in by putting a small amount on my freshly shampooed hair. I use an amount about the size of a dime for medium length, fairly thick hair. I see absolutely no "oily" look after my hair is dry. It absorbs beautifully and leaves my hair softer, shinier and absolutely no frizz. I also use the oil as recommended about once or twice per month. By applying much more oil and then wrapping my hair in a warm towel, I get a really luxurious experience. Sometimes I put on a cap and take a run which is also effective. Dr. Hauschka Neem Hair Oil claims the ability to repair damaged hair and restore healthy sheen and these claims are true! I just turned 45 and have noticed much more dryness and dullness. With Neem Hair Oil, my (professionally colored) dark brown hair has that lovely sheen that I envy in the beautiful hair of women from India. If I were going to "Survivor Island" this might be my one thing to take along. Manufacturer's Product Description An intensive hair and scalp treatment. Repairs damaged hair and restore healthy sheen and manageability. Neem leaf and chamomile extracts calm itchy, irritated conditions. Rosemary essential oil stimulates scalp circulation. Encourages healthy new hair growth. Restores natural shine and manageability to hair. Ingredients Arachis Hypogaea (Peanut) Oil, Melia Azadirachta (Neem) Leaf Extract, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria/German Chamomile) Extract, Lecithin, Alcohol, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Essential Oil, Fragrance/Parfum (Essential Oil), Limonene, Linalool

Neutrogena Firming Body Moisturizer with Active Copper

Honestly cannot tell much difference in firmness

I am a devotee of Neutrogena's copper firming serum, so I had high hopes for the body moisturizer. It is light and soaks in well. I just couldn't tell a lot of difference in firmness after using it for 2 weeks. I won't buy another one.

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner

Great for frequent liners

I love this product, but typically only use about 1/4 of it before it dries out. It's a bit pricey, but definitely a superior product for people who are serious about liner.
