Determine if you want to spend money on beauty products my friends and I have tried...
One of my earliest memories was playing with my cousin’s makeup. I would hide in the bathroom and paint my face and put on layers of mascara and inevitably get in a lot of trouble. As a small child, I can remember being in tow when all of the females would make the visit to the Merrill Norman salon. I would watch in envy while their faces where painted in some hot pink mask. I have no idea what that pink stuff did, but I wanted my face covered in it.
As I progressed to a teenager, with a heavy hand on the eye shadow, my cousin took me to the department store for my first makeover. I have been hooked ever since! I literally cannot pass a makeup counter without trying or buying something. My two biggest obsessions are the longest lasting lipstick and the mascara which will give me long thick lashes. Skin care and anti-frizz hair products follow closely after.
I am a sucker for fancy packaging and the newest, best and so-called promised product that will turn me into one of the glamorous beauties in the latest fashion magazine. Unfortunately for me, most products don’t live up to the hype promised by the advertisement.
Therefore, I’ve decided, along with the help of some of my not so obsessive friends and family to post products that we tried so you can decide if you want to spend your money!

Perfect Razor
She couldn't say enough wonderful things about DR. CARVER’S EASY SHAVE BUTTER. She received a sample with her monthly razor order and is hooked on this save cream that made her skin feel wonderful. If you use shave cream on your legs it might be worth the $8 investment.

Tried of FRIZZ?
Perhaps try the SECRET WEAPON smoothing cream (applied to dry hair) or the Beyond Smooth Frizz Immunity Primer (applied to wet hair) to see if it works before purchasing the other products.
Although it is a rainy day, as you can see, I still have frizz/fly away hair - this is after shampoo/conditioner, primer, defining gel, blow dry and styler brush.

Tatcha Facial Cleanser
LUNA™ for Sensitive-Normal Skin
Heated Styling Brush
I bought this on HSN for under $60. It arrived the other day and I have to say WOW! I have thick, yet fine, color treated hair that tends to frizz. It's difficult for me to blow dry without it ending up like a frizz-ball. If you slowly swipe this brush/styler through your hair after blow drying, it does leave it smooth, soft and shiny. It is VERY easy to use - almost like a brush. I think the trick is to go SLOW. Like a curling iron, I can make curls or manipulate my hair in a style. The Rising Star Spray smells amazing. This one is worth the $$.
Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Skin Liquid Lighting Highlighter
Mally Volumizing Mascara
Mally Eye Shadow Stick
I really like these Mally eye shadow sticks that last all day without smudging. I found mine at Ulta, but she also sells them on QVC and other online shops. Cost is $25 and just as good as the higher department store brands. Color choices seem to vary at different shops.
