Part of my job is to review cosmetics as they hit the shelves but I have a little help! Each week, I will post new reviews as they come in. Is your favorite cosmetic listed? If not, you will find an easy form to fill out:

October 2000 Products

Merle Norman Lip Pencil Plus in Mocha $14.00
Marleny would definitely recommend this product but did not say why.

Maybelline Express Makeup Foundation $6.99
This makeup is great, it glides on smooth, blends easily, and lasts all day.
Recommended by Wendy

Bath and Body Works Foundation
My favorite brand of foundation is Bath and Body Works in Honey. It's smooth, light, and looks so natural, the only person who knows I'm wearing make-up is me. I overall love their cosmetics line and use as much of it as possible. My trick to putting on foundation and give it a natural look is to use a toner on my face, then moisturizer, and then the foundation. I always put it on lightly and it an upward, circular motion.

Oil of Olay, Waterproof Mascara
under $10.00
It's great especially if you have oily skin! It won't smudge under you eye like others. Your lashes look long, thick and plush. It wears great!!! It comes of when you wash your face with cleanser! No eyemake-up remover needed.
Highly recommended by A. A. Mariah

Love Clinique's SuperFit Foundation
It goes on light and natural, but covers amazingly well. I use it all the time as an on-the-spot concealer as well. Applies just as well with your fingers as it does with a sponge...

Mac's Lip Glass
This month, I received a product review from Magdelene Teo. She goes into great depth describing colors and textures and I think that it makes a great addition to this month's selection of products. If you would like to read the entire review, I have included a link to the full article. Mac's Lip Glass
