True Illusion by Maybelline!
I have always wanted a foundation that actually does something! Sound familiar? Most claim to look/feel as if there is nothing there but why wear it if you can't see anything?? I have tried many brands over the years and was never really satisfied but continued to look just in case the next one I tried was the answer to my dreams!!
So why did I try this brand? Because they were doing a demonstration in the drugstore and since I needed some anyway, I decided to stay and check it out. A word of warning here ladies...the salesperson wanted to test it on my wrist...as if the color of your wrist is anything close to your facial skin color. I pointed this out to her and she insisted that was the second place she was going to try. Fine lol...as long as I got a perfect match!
And then there was the dollar off coupon she handed to me at the same time...how can I turn down a bargain?? Anyway, it wasn't until I got home and actually tried it that I realized just how terrific this product was! The coverage is wonderful...your skin looks quite velvety and it LASTS ALL DAY!!! I am impressed and I even went so far as too toss out the bottle of foundation that I hadn't quite used up! So ladies, if you are in need of a new foundation...I highly recommend this one! At last...a foundation that really makes you look better!!
Twist and Shout Lip Color by Petunia For $5.99, you can pick up five little twist out pots of lipstick complete with a tiny brush that fits nicely into the package. They come in a variety of shades but the "Pretties" caught my eye. They are various shades of gel color with sparkles that the sun picks up nicely. Make a great lipgloss and the entire set will fit perfectly in your purse! And as an added bonus, I see no reason why you couldn't refill the pots with your own lipstick when the contents have been used up.
Sweet Lips..freshly squeezed lip gloss! It comes in a tiny little metal tube and they aren't kidding about the freshly squeezed part. I chose Strawberries and Watermelon (can't get much more summery than that) and it smells just as wonderful as it tastes! Now there is the problem! If you lick your lips, it's not going to work!! Apply with a brush so that you don't transfer bacteria into the tube and toss it in your beach bag! Your lips will look soft and luscious and isn't that what you want??
Fas'Lash
Nothing annoys me more than making up my face and then having a little blob of mascara hit either my eyelid or the tiny bit
of skin below the eye. Then you have to find a cotton bud, dip it in a little eyemakeup remover and then try to remove the
little mistakes without disturbing the rest of your makeup. But all that might be a thing of the past! I found a wonderful little
product that prevents this from happening! It's made of plastic with a tapered end offering tiny teeth to comb your lashes
and at the other end, a guard that you can hold above or below your eye to stop those splatters. It is ingenious and I don't
know why someone never thought of it before. Luckily, the people at Fas'Lash did and you can order it buy calling

Kiss Me Mascara
We can't live without it but there are so many things we hate about mascara. I for one hate the fact that it can look clumpy,
it stings when you accidently rub it into your eyes and it can run at the worst possible times. And then I was sent a sample of
"Kiss Me Mascara" and I could only hope that this would be different. First of all, it comes from a 200 year plus company
in Japan, Kiss Me Cosmetics. The difference with this mascara is that forms tiny tubes around each lash. The tubes are
released with water and gentle pressure. They literally slide off your lashes. Kiss Me Mascara
2000 Calorie Mascara by Max Factor
Let's talk a little about the container! It's a nice size and easy to hold in your hand...no accidently dropping this tube!
And the product I found to be excellent! It goes on easily and in seconds your lashes are LONGER and THICKER! And no
spiky bits either. Smooth and continuous! But the test that I was really interested in was whether it would melt and leave little
smudges of black on my brow bone! It didn't happen! This is one great mascara and it doesn't cost a lot either!
Papier Poudre
Papier Poudre comes in little booklets containing 65 sheets of absorbant paper that removes shine and dust. So easy for
quick touch ups throughout the day. I tried a sheet and it works amazingly well. Shine is gone is seconds.
I have a packet in my purse at all times now. No more shiny noses.

Lite Cosmetics
When I was approached by this company about reviewing their products, I actually told them my age and they sent me a wonderful selection of skin care products along with a brochure that tells you exactly how to use them and in what order. Here is the products that I checked out.
Hand Made Glycerin Moisturizing Soap This 2.25 oz bar is carefully blended with palm and coconut oils and absolutely no preservatives or fragrances Each cake is wire cut and air dried to give you a long lasting soap that is very mild. And how does it feel? The lather is very silky and your face does feel soft when you rinse it off. That is the first step.
Next came the Eye Wrinkle Cream which should be used morning and night. It too goes on very smoothly and is a must if you want to get a head start on those little lines. It comes in a nice size jar that will last you a long time and a little does go a long way. Again, no fragrance. The next product that I used was the Anti-Oxident Day Cream with SPF 15. It is really important to make sure you have this kind of protection all through the year to protect your skin from the elements. That took care of my moisturizing for the day in just three easy steps. There is one more product called "Revive" that Lite Cosmetics sent and this can be used as a night time moisturizer to give your face a special treat every three weeks or so or, it can be used as a makeup base. Finish your day off with a light cleansing using the Glycerin Moisturizing soap mentioned above and Wrinkle-Lite, a night corrective cream that is a rich moisturizer and you are done. If you love natural products, I really think you will like this line. Be sure to visit their website:Lite Cosmetics They offer even more information on their impressive line of skin care products.
