Still My Classic Compact: Cover Girl Fresh Look

Thu, 26 Jul 2001 17:44:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - I am so brand-loyal to Cover Girl for pressed powder compacts, that I've switched brands only once in more than 15 years. There may be better compacts out there--and more expensive, too--but I've been happy-go-lucky about what I've got here. Guess I've...

I'm Skipping Liquid-to-Powder Makeup Step

Fri, 1 Jun 2001 14:04:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - I wear concealer (usually M.A.C. brand), and I wear Cover Girl pressed powder from the compact, but I rarely wear foundation, and I've played trial-and-much-error games using different foundations and liquid makeups on a sporadic basis. Although I don't...

A Soft Touchable Face--at a Value Price!

Fri, 18 May 2001 14:28:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - I wish you were looking in the mirror with me this morning, because if you were, you would notice I was smiling and feeling so satisfied after using St. Ives Oil Free Moisturizer. Until last night, when it finally rained in New Jersey after nearly...

Not Mild Enough for My Combo Face

Fri, 13 Apr 2001 17:17:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - Washing my face is a ritual that often, I actually find more of a chore than a pleasure. It was always hard for me to find the right product. I don't necessarily consider my facial skin to be sensitive, but I think so many facial cleansers are too harsh...

In my eyes, this mascara is NOT GREAT

Thu, 1 Mar 2001 15:55:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - What's so great about Maybelline Great Lash Curved Brush Mascara? I just don't see it. Maybe years ago, when there weren't so many choices in mascara, it was considered great because it was among the best made available. I'm not going to purchase...

Feel Fresh and Clean--Feel Like A Winner!

Wed, 21 Feb 2001 17:41:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - It's that time of year, the cold weather will break before we know it, and thoughts will turn to boosting exercise routines in the fresh air as summer approaches. Whenever I work out, even though I try to "enjoy" the moment, I am also thinking about two...

It's not slick, it's sensual and makes you feel sleek!

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 14:19:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - Neutrogena Body Oil Sesame Formula is somewhat of a misnomer. It is not an "oily" product that is slippery or takes forever to dry. It doesn't remind me of anything having to do with sesame oil, but has a pleasant, fresh, slightly perfume-y scent...

All-Day Wear, But Tastes Terrible!

Mon, 22 Jan 2001 13:38:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - Once I read a statistic that women--over the course of their lifetimes--ingest one to one-and-a-half pounds of lipstick!

If you never heard of that before, I can understand that for now, you're just contemplating--er, digesting--that...

Daily Usage Protects Face Well

Thu, 18 Jan 2001 20:14:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - Neutrogena Moisture SPF 15 is a superior facial moisturizer that can be applied alone or under makeup in an unassuming way to provide outstanding protection from the sun and wind.

I purchased this product because I wanted to try an unscented,...

It's mild, cleanses, softens--inexpensively

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 15:46:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - I am very brand-loyal to Cetaphil liquid for cleansing my face, and am not too open to trying other facial cleansers--unless someone has already tried it and has thoroughly convinced me that it really works. I am nervous to try a product that will be too...

I've moved on from drugstore eye shadow

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 13:28:54 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - When I was a teenager, I bought drugstore eye shadow brands including Maybelline, Cover Girl and Aziza. Now as a career woman, I've weaned off of these brands for ones that I feel offer better color, wear and texture, even though they may cost more. My...

On a HOT, HUMID summer day...

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 18:51:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - ...and when I get out of the shower, I don't feel like slathering on lotion, so instead, I spritz some misty Neutrogena Rainbath Dry Oil Spray with the most wonderful fresh scent all over.

Please note, I love so many kinds of lotions. I will...

Can't Stand Colorstay Lipcolor!

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 20:07:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - I bought Revlon Colorstay Lipcolor in "Scarlet," because I wanted to be bold and buy a red shade of lipstick. Cindy Crawford was splashed all over the ad campaigns, which touted that the color really lasts. It lasts only in an impression that...

The one I always return to...

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 18:29:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - Cover Girl Professional Advanced Mascara is a classic standby that I always return to. I haven't found the "perfect" mascara, and I'm always hunting for one, but this brand has always been the closest to it for me over the years. I'll try other...

Immediately silkier skin

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 13:09:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - Applied with an eyedropper, Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair has some immediate results, but I'm not sure about overnight or long-term results.

I think this product works best when applied to a clean face--I use it after evening showers or...

Add glitter & glamour for the holidays

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 14:32:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - Yesterday I read in the newspaper that gold fashion and jewelry are back in time for the holiday season. I'm pulling out my gold quilted satin jacket and Cover Girl Professional Eye Enhancers 1-Kit Shadows in "Burnished Gold" just in time for a...

Nothing wondrous about Wonder Curl

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 13:08:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - There is nothing wondrous about Maybelline Wonder Curl Washable Mascara. I though it was disastrous! I really wanted a mascara to curl my lashes, to match my curly hair. The magazine ads really depicted the look as the real thing--fringy, curly lashes. I...

Smells great...but I wanted more

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 17:35:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - With a name like Origins Eye Doctor, I was expecting a lot for the money. What I ended up with was an eye cream that smelled wonderful, and felt creamy and non-greasy--but that's not entirely what I wanted.

For a name like Eye Doctor, I wanted...

Trying it and liking it

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 14:24:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - A good mascara is hard to find. And I'm always looking for the "perfect" one that I can rely on daily. A large $1.00 off coupon promotion, combined with a supermarket sale, recently enticed me to try Maybelline Full n' Soft Mascara. I'm wearing...

Tiny Tube Goes a Long Way

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 11:54:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - I once read a beauty profile in a magazine about a celebrity that uses Origins Pinch Your Cheeks. Since I discovered that I also use many of the same products she does, I thought I'd try it, and I so made my way to the Origins store in the mall.

Great shade gets compliments!

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 19:26:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - I have gotten complimented many times wearing Bobbi Brown Lip Color in the shade "Clove." Soon I'll need to buy myself a new tube of this, too. I wear this shade a lot, because it is in the true Bobbi Brown-"brown" shade hue. Every...

My eyebrows stay in place!

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 18:50:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - Yes, this product is wonderful for natural looking eyelashes, but have you tried it on your eyebrows?!! I have, and that's what I use this product specifically for. At the moment, I have somewhat thin eyebrows that probably should be tweezed, too, but I...

No More Raccoon Eyes!!!

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 17:17:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author VSP - Some people get dark circles from not enough sleep. I am one of the unfortunate who has them because I was born that way. My dark circles are hereditary. Usually, I apply a concealer, but now first I use Estee Lauder Uncircle. There's hope for me!
