Lush Mirror Neck Cream

Datasta — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:07:59 +0000

The Lush Mirror Neck Cream is made up of high quality cold pressed oils, comes in great packaging, and makes me wonder why all of Lush moisture products aren’t available in pumps. I mean, I may be biased, but pump products, make it so much more user-friendly.

Overall, this Neck Cream product adds all of the moisture you could possibly want without making you feel greasy. Unfortunately, it comes with a strong smell that eventually fades - I’m usually particular to neck creams that lack a strong scent.

I have been told that you’re able to use this product all over your face but should be weary of using it near your eyes if they are sensitive to fragrance.

The Bottom Line: Would I buy It?

I wouldn’t. As I said earlier, I don’t particularly like creams that have strong scents. Also, it doesn’t have any sunscreen built into it. However, it is a great buy at $21.95 for 1.7 ounces. So, you decide.

Hydra Complete (Multi-Level Moisture Eye Gel Creme) by Estee Lauder

Datasta — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 22:29:56 +0000

A friend of mine who recently began studying abroad in Europe came across the Hydra Complete by Estee Lauder and has had nothing but great things to say about it.

As a quick introduction, the Hydra Complete, is a Multi-Level Moisture Eye Gel Creme, and as she puts it, “satisfies your skin’s’ thirst,” by “cooling and soothing your face.” Metaphors aside, the product is oil free and smells great. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for extremely dry skin as it seems perfect for people with normal to oily skin.

Have any of you had any experience with Hydra Complete by Estee Lauder yet? If so, feel free to leave a comment to let me know what you think.

True Concealer by Allison Raffaele

Have you heard about “True Concealer” by Alison Raffaele? This is another one of the top selling makeup products right now. After scouring the internet for information about this concealer product, I’ve managed to find that most people who buy it, like it. However, I was not able to find one negative review about the product which leaves me skeptical. Very rarely do you find a product that’s perfect.

Bobbi Brown Tulle Brown Lipstick

Datasta — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 20:41:02 +0000

Bobbi Brown cosmetics released a new lipstick color recently and it is the perfect light tan shade because it just seems to fade so naturally. I’ve used lighter lipsticks and darker lipsticks and none have worked as well this color with my skin complexion. I haven’t had the chance to buy the Bobbi Brown Tulle Brown lipstick yet, but I did get to try it on since one of my friends owns it and all I can say is it is definitely a good buy if you’re of medium skin color with dark hair. Although, just because you have light hair I wouldn’t rule out this $21.00 USD lipstick just yet…

Urban Decay Liquid Eyeliner

Datasta — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 20:38:34 +0000

Urban Decay Cosmetics released this liquid eyeliner which on normal circumstances would have been amazing, but they put it in this awkward ink-well bottle, which makes it much harder to use. If they would have stuck with the traditional slender wand type bottle I would have enjoyed this product much more.

Now, if you’re not as picky as I am, and don’t mind the strange bottle and the extra pointy wand, which I almost poked my eye out with, I suggest you give it a shot. It is only $18.00 USD after all at the Sephora online store.

Collection M’s Firm Control Thong

Datasta — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 12:54:35 +0000

Have you heard of the Collection M Line of premium shapewear yet? If you haven’t, they recently released a Firm Control Thong that flattens the stomach with a featured waistband that doesn’t sacrifice comfort for beauty. This $18.00 pair of underwear is completely invisible under your clothing and sure as heck beats walking around sucking in your stomach.

Just thinking about these new underwear means I could maybe eat a piece of chocolate today! Who’s with me?

Check out the underwear here.

Suki Exfoliating Lemongrass Cleanser

Datasta — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 13:28:15 +0000

If you haven’t had the chance to try out the Suki Exfoliating Lemongrass Cleanser, which is one of Makeup.com’s Top 10 best selling products right now, I highly suggest you give it a shot. It costs $24.50 USD for 5.7 oz. It’s moderately priced and has made a huge difference on my skin. It’s absolutely amazing!

Usually I’m not too happy with most exfoliating cleansers because they’re too grainy and lack that clean foam feeling, but this Lemongrass Cleanser does both. It is wonderful and I’m so happy that I bought it!

If you think you love it as much as I do, you can buy it here.
