I love to read my fellow bloggers’ posts about what beauty products they are using and love/hate.  Between the blog posts and magazine articles I have purchased and tried my share of products…from make-up to moisturizers, shampoos to nail polish.  In my recent reader survey, you mentioned that you’d like to see some more product reviews.  I’m going to start with what is on my bathroom counter!

Let’s start with my favorite perfumes, hair products and face moisturizers.

1. Dior ‘Miss Dior’ Eau de Parfum Spray: I wear this on weekdays when I’d go to the office or weekend nights out with friends.  I love the floral scent!

4. CHI Argan Oil: Beside the fact that this smells wonderful, it works wonders!  It is not heavy at all, and I feel that it has drastically helped to repair my dry and brittle ends.  

1.Women’s MAC Bronzing Powder – Bronze: MAC’s bronzing powder is step one to making me look a bit more alive and perky.  Sometimes I will apply a plum-y/pinkish blush to the apples of my cheeks as well, but bronzer is a MUST for me.2.Women’s Anastasia Beverly Hills Duo Brow Powder: I’ve tried pencils and powders and this duo seems to work the best for me.  I apply it sparingly with a small eye shadow brush.3. Pacifica Eye Brightening Shadow : I love a simple shimmery color over my entire lid, especially for day time.  If I am going out, I’ll also add a highlighter color to the bottom arch of my brow and the inside corner of each eye.4. Women’s NARS Brow Gel: As you can see, I seem to spend more time on my eye brows than anything else!  Eye brows frame your face, so you have to take care with them.  I need this brow gel, which I get the clear version, because I feel that my eye brows have a mind of their own sometimes and this gel keeps them in line.5. Tarte Cosmetics Lights Camera Lashes Mascara: I’ve been on the hunt for a new mascara to try out.  I’ve tried Lancome (a few), Dior (a few), Maybelline, Benefit, but I wanted something different.  I received a sample of the Tarte Lights Camera Lashes mascara and I think I may buy the full size.  (It’s hard to commit when there are so many options out there!).  It lengthens and thickens, which is what I am looking for. 6. stila ‘smudge stick’ waterproof eyeliner: I’ve used this eyeliner for a VERY long time and I love it.  I’ve tried others – Bobbi Browns pots of eyeliner (definitely liked that as well, but not as much).  It glides on super smooth and stays put.  I do also wear lipstick, but I think that is a whole other post because I like way too many brands and types of lip color.  So…what do you think about what I use?  Are there any products that you would recommend I try?
