Product: Slip GlossMade By: Garden BotanikaPrice: $9.00 (on sale)I received "My Pretty Pink Box" full of samples and goodies a couple of weeks ago, but I've been so busy I haven't gotten to trying anything in the box until this past weekend.Of course, I went for the lipstick sample first. Lipstick, gloss, balm, whatever, is the one product I can never get enough of. I haven't used any Garden

Product: Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing MaskMade by: BlissPrice: $52.00At Christmas my good friend Becky gave me a wonderful box full of sample sizes of Bliss products. One of my favorite items in the box was this mask. As you can see by the price it is a bit on the expensive side so I have used it sparingly, but when I do, I really like the effect.This morning I had to get up extra early

Product: Acne Treatment ConcealerMade by: MuradPrice: $21.00I have to admit I had a bit of a breakout across my chin last week. In the midst of my breakout I ran out of my usual acne fighting concealer. When I tried to order more, I discovered, much to my dismay that it was discontinued. But I did not despair long because one quick trip to Sephora.com and I decided to order Murad's Acne

I made a fun discovery this week through Twitter -- My Pretty Pink Box.My Pretty Pink Box sells a box of beauty samples every month. Every month the box is filled with different samples, full-size products, and special discounts from retailers. I was lucky enough to order the May box before they sold out. The list of products included looks great and I can't wait to get MY pretty pink box

Product: Tricolour Lipglass in Triple-YumMade by: MAC CosmeticsPrice: $17.50For me, lip gloss has two important qualities: consistency and color delivery. Consistency is important because you don't want something too sticky, but you do want it to maintain its shine. Color delivery is important because you don't want too much color with the shine of the gloss or you start looking way

Product: Dazzle Lash (in Black Dazzle)Made by: MAC CosmeticsPrice: $12.00The product description on the MAC site says that Dazzle Lash mascara......instantly creates a starburst dazzle effect. The trick lies in a new compact-sized, slightly sculpted brush applicator that singles out and pushes lashes to go bigger, bolder, longer, with a plush, glamorous curve.It sounds very exciting, right?

A lot of women who don't wear much or any make-up feel like they don't know where to start when they decide they would like to try some make up. My good friend Becky was in just that spot so a couple of weeks ago when we were in Sephora together she asked me to help her put together the basics. I was delighted and practically ran her through the store before she had a chance to change her mind.

Product: CoverGirl Simply Ageless FoundationMade by: CoverGirl & OlayPrice: $13.99 (at drugstore.com)I'm often a bit of a snob about foundation and prefer the department store brands to the drugstore brands, but I was attracted to this new product from CoverGirl so I decided to give it a try. Surprisingly I was not disappointed. CoverGirl and Olay have come up with quite a nice new

Product: ChapStick ClassicMade by: ChapStick (owned by Wyeth)Price: $1.89 (at CVS.com)Awhile ago there was an article in the NY Times about skin care products and the thrust of the story was dermatologists saying all the expensive creams and potions are really not worth it and all you really need is some mild soap to clean your face, moisturizer, and sunscreen. I would add ChapStick to that

Product: Drying LotionMade by: Mario BadescuPrice: $17.00Since I hit puberty I have been in search of the perfect zit zapper -- the one that makes them disappear over night. The closest I've come is Drying Lotion.It is not an anti-moisturizer as the name implies, but, in fact, it is a pimple healer. And it really, really works! I am prone to occasional pimples (not regular acne) and I have
