I have a cute red and white striped pair of these that I leave in my bathroom cabinet for quick plucking. Once you get a set of Tweezermans, you can have them for life since they are a quality product and you can send them in for sharpening if they get dull. They're great at getting even the slightest hairs. I find them a tad too sharp since I've had a few plucks that drew blood! I advise caution and for Pete's sake, don't attempt to use them in a moving vehicle or you will be missing an eyeball!

This is my new favorite lippie! I tried the color Hooligan, which is a gorgeous pinky-brown. The formula is very moisturizing and the shine is beautiful, not tacky. It's almost like I used a regular lipstick with a separate gloss on top of it. It provides full coverage but is not heavy, cakey or drying. It does seem to plump my pucker too! Love it, looked like Brigitte Bardot's glamorous lips when I wore this.

I have tried many different Bath and Body antibacterial products over the years, but it seems my hands and allergies just can't handle them. Whenever I use most antibacterial items, my hands get contact dermatitis with scaly, red, burning and itching for days. It takes a good while to clear up. Most of their scents make me sneeze and give me headaches. I can tolerate the food-type scents like lemon. My husband seems to like this soap, though, so I keep it in the house for him and use regular soap for me.

I actually scored a bottle of this for less than 50 cents on clearance at CVS - it was on clearance and had a dollar off coupon on it. I figured no harm done if it didn't work, and it gave me points towards my Beauty Club purchase too. You'd think all the signs from the heavens would be pouring down on me as I washed my wavy and slightly dry hair. The price was the only good thing about it. It did not add any moisture and did not save me any time at all. It took forever getting the tangled, Brillo pad of hair that was on top of my head and it hurt! I had to use leave in conditioner just to get it halfway decent in the moisture department. My hair felt stripped. I almost feel compelled to go get my 50 cents back from CVS but I'd spend more money in gas to get there!

This is the Holy Grail of lip moisturizers in my humble opinion, and I've tried quite a few for my chronically dry lips. I've tried everything from Chapstick to Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment, which is quite fabulous but a bit on the pricey side. I snagged The Body Shop Coconut Lip Butter when I had a Groupon burning a hole in my pocket recently and I'm so glad I did. It goes on very smooth and buttery, not the least bit greasy but a little dab will do ya. It's more of a lip cream. It is such a pleasurable experience swiping this stuff, it can be downright addictive! Fair Trade coconut oil and beeswax are just what the doctor ordered for my parched pucker. And it lasts overnight when I put it on my lips before beddy bye. Doesn't interfere when I put lipstick on top of it either. The smell makes me feel like I'm in the tropics all year round. Will buy again and again.

I am pretty satisfied with this chubby little liner. I got the dark grey shade and found it to be very flattering on my brown eyes, even a bit shimmery. The color is a darkish shimmery gray with slightly silver and bluish undertones. Quite stunning color, actually. Goes on fairly smooth and very quick. I'd say the staying power is somewhat lacking, though. It does last all day until I take my makeup off, but it does fade a bit. It doesn't smudge all over the place, a big plus in my book. It also did not irritate my sensitive eyes. This is one of those godsend products to throw in your purse and slide some on very quickly before trotting off to work. The color is very saturated, too. The price is decent, under ten bucks but I find it to be a very good drugstore buy. You can lay it on thick for the smoldering effect but if you start with a very sharp tip, you can get a more subtle, everyday line that also blends seamlessly. It also comes with its own separate sharpener. Great buy and will be buying again!

Geez loweez, I love this BB cream/primer to pieces. I usually use the Garnier one but I like this one better. This really made my skin as close to flawless without a foundation as you can get. It made the annoying little lines disappear and my skin looked much more even and radiant. It does go on fairly thick but it gives very good coverage, especially for a BB cream. I did use my usual foundation over it and it went on more smoothly. Using the two together really perfected my skin. I really like that it has a higher SPF than the Garnier one too. This one is at 30. My skin looked younger and luminous. Win win!

I received a sample of this with my Sephora order and I wasn't impressed with this scent at all. I wore it out with dinner with friends and I didn't like how much this fragrance reminded me of a cheap dollar store cologne. It was fairly heavy for a cologne but instead of the vanilla being rich and creamy, as with good vanilla scents, this one smelled too much like that Vanilla Fields or a dollar store vanilla cologne. Ugh! it didn't smell very pleasant to me at all. It's safe to say I won't be wearing it ever again!

These are my favorite lip glosses! Believe you me, I've tried truckloads of them from ultra cheap to not-so-cheap. The Philosophy glosses are incredibly scented with just a tad of sweetness. My favorite is Pomegranate Bubbly, which I think came in a holiday set, but all of them are phenom. The Melon Daiquiri one was yummy too. I've had so many of these through the years that I can't remember all the flavors! I like the beautiful shine, not too sticky and tacky looking but just right. And they're so moisturizing, they feel like actual lip care. Some leave a tad of a tint and shimmer. A little goes a very long way and a tube lasts me months. I like to pop some on top of stains and regular lippies for a lush, fun yet sensual look. The fruity scents really lift my spirits during a droll workday too. These make great stocking stuffers or gifts for nearly any female in your family!

Thankfully, I only bought the small, travel bottle of this stuff at CVS. If I had bought the whole bottle I would've been even more disappointed! It held my style well, made it more sleek and shiny but I couldn't get past the funky smell! It's very heavily scented, but has a very perfumey, "antique" smell and not a nice, fresh one. I must've got a bad bottle because it had a nasty after smell akin to road kill. Ew! So I definitely won't buy this again! So my search continues for a good hairspray!
