My signature Autumn fragrance!

Sat, 17 Jul 2004 14:14:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - This review is going to be written in layman's terms as I am not a fragrance expert who can go into intricate detail about the underlying notes and drydown scents of a perfume. I'm your average woman who likes to try out different scents in department...

The perfect shampoo for those suffering from oily folicles!

Sat, 31 Jan 2004 03:36:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - I was converted to the TIGI Bed Head line years ago when my favorite stylist used their Self-Absorbed range on me. I was a faithful user of that product for two years, but eventually I found that my hair was beginning to look greasy and oily about six...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - As a person with very sensitive combination skin that is prone to terrible breakouts, I've always been on the lookout for any products that suit my skin really well. I experiment all the time - especially with skin care since nine out of every ten...

This is a wonderfully versatile fragrance that can be made to suit any tastes!

Sat, 22 Nov 2003 05:11:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - I am not a fragrance enthusiast, so I'm afraid I know nothing about the various notes when it comes to perfumes. I'm a layman's scent fan, so my review will reflect this and provide you with a simpler point of view on L'Eau D'Issey by Issey Miyake...

You couldn't ask for a better, more reliable household computer!

Fri, 24 Oct 2003 18:15:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - My mother wanted to get a new computer (or old 1.2GB hard drive just wasn't cutting it anymore). She asked me to find her one that would work well for her office network (she does a lot of work from home) as well as be suitable for homework assignments f...

Cute, campy and oh-so-addictive!

Thu, 25 Sep 2003 03:11:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - Being an enormous Stila junkie has it's benefits and it's detriments.

MAC kohls are a shakeup in the tedious world of pencil eyeliners!

Sat, 22 Feb 2003 04:02:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - I've always been put off by the blandness of pencil eyeliners. In general they come in a group of boring shades (brown, black, navy, silver, etc.) and are hard to use. Because of this simplicity I've been using eyeshadows in unique colors to line my...

MAC Blot Powder wears like an absolute dream!

Tue, 18 Feb 2003 23:45:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - Since I started using MAC Blot powder I've shaken my head and wondered why I bothered spending all that money trying fancier pressed powders and trying to match them to my skin tone perfectly.

Pressed powder has been a common step following...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - Clinique is a long-established cosmetics line run by the Estee Lauder company. It is known for providing some excellent products at reasonable prices (mascaras, glosses, lipsticks) along with some other mediocre items (eyeshadows, blushes, etc.).

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - Prescriptives has built a solid reputation on their foundations and shading systems. There are four different foundation groups: Yellow/Orange, Red/Blue, Red/Orange and Red/Pink. With neutral/yellow undertones I have always belonged to the...

Finally a powder foundation that actually blends in to my skin!

Fri, 31 Jan 2003 14:03:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - I had been wanting to try this for a long time but I was not eager to shell out $43 without at least testing it for a little while to be sure it wouldn't break out or cause any problems for my sensitive skin. I was lucky enough to get a sample (comes in...

MAC Lipglass is the extra oomph your lipstick has been waiting for!

Mon, 20 Jan 2003 20:37:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - MAC decided to incorporate lipgloss into its cosmetics line only a few years ago and it came in the form of Lipglass.

Fri, 17 Jan 2003 19:18:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - MAC overall has a great line of foundation and concealers. They have a great range of shades so most people can find a match fairly easily and they offer several different formulas (matte, satin, powder, creamy etc.) of each.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - I've tried several different finishes of MAC foundation. The company has built a reputation of having superior (if a little boring) foundations. About two years ago or so MAC decided to shake things up a little and created Hyper Real foundation. The...

Fri, 17 Jan 2003 03:36:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - Stila has taken the cosmetics world by storm over the last three years. Originally, MAC was the high-end line that had great color, quality and versatility for a surprisingly decent price. Now Stila is edging its way in on MAC's territory and is...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - I have sensitive/combination skin and I've tried hundreds of cleansers over the years. In that time I've found very few that have worked for me and those which didn't end up doing any damage ended up not helping much either. I received this as a GWP...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - I have very sensitive skin and I've found that about 70% of skin care products on today's market just end up irritating or inflaming my skin. Its gotten to be so much of a problem that there were certain types of products (retin-a, exfoliators, etc.)...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - As picky as I am when it comes to cosmetics I like my mascara to be plain and simple. I don't want to have it clump together. I don't want to have to go out and buy another brush to remove the clumps from my lashes. I want simplicity and effect.

my absolute favorite gloss!

Thu, 24 Oct 2002 21:35:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - I had heard mixed reviews of Lancome Juicy Tubes when I went out to try them. Some people felt they were too sticky and tacky. Others adored the texture and longevity. I had to try for myself.

The first juicy tube I ever tried was in the...

the staple gloss in my makeup drawer!

Sat, 19 Oct 2002 13:44:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - I am a self-admitted gloss junkie. I love it. Especially since my lips are chapped year-round. I'm a sucker for neat packaging and colors and gimmicks and I picked up Clinique's Glosswear For Lips Sheer Shimmers a little while ago and was blown away...

It was love at first sight.... with myself thanks to Lancome's Clarifiance Natural Astringent Toner!

Mon, 16 Sep 2002 22:10:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - Now this is neither the first (nor, I'm sure, will it be the last) time I've raved about Lancome's exceptional skin care line, but it would be unfair not to give Lancome's Clarifiance Natural Astringent Toner the detail it deserves.

Now I'm...

Wed, 11 Sep 2002 19:45:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blythiee - For years I have used simply cleanser and water in an effort to remove mascara and other eye makeup. However, this method either left me with puffy, sore, red eyes in the struggle to get every bit of makeup off, or normal eyes with dark racoon eyes in...
