I like the Natural Glow Express better than the original, because of the faster results. The negative side of the faster results is the possiblity of more streaking. It's a bit more natural looking, but sometimes I think it's still a bit yellowy-orange. What keeps me from using it more, is the smell. It certainly isn't as strong or bad as most self-tanners; but, I've a sensitive nose and I just hate it. Plus, the texture of it is just odd.

Marc Jacob's Daisy is a terrific fragrance that starts off with fresh notes that seem almost like grass (which put me off initially. The mid-level notes are a pleasant floral that's not too sweet. It finishes with a pleasant warmth. Overall I find it always boosts my mood. It's youthful, but not saccharine sweet. And the bottle is adorable!

Nanette Lepore is a wonderful floral fragrance that comes across as fresh, clear and bright. It's modern and feminine-- not your grandmother's floral or pre-teen's. I love it for work because of its subtlety; however, I need to freshen it up at lunch break. I love how it turns slightly warm as time passes and there's no "powdery" finish to it either.

EA's Eight Hour Skin Protectant is amazing. It is incredibly moisturizing -- perfect for dry, chapped, flaky skin. Unfortunately whenever I used it, I felt as if my skin was burning (and I don't normally have very sensitive skin). It's thick and sort of greasy, so I'd save it for nighttime. Amazing stuff if you can get past the unappealing texture and scent.

Robert Piguet's Fracas is not for the timid. It's lush, provocative and sensual. The tuberose is a key note in the fragrance. While Fracas is bold, it's not overpowering or overwhelming. It's sophisticated scent continues to change as you wear it. I recommend it for nights out, special occasions, etc. In addition, I apply it about an hour or two before I do go out.

There's a great variety of colors in this formula, but the polish doesn't last. I usually get chips by the end of the day and I believe two days was the longest they ever lasted. And that was with a topcoat as well! These Wet n Wild nail polishes are great if you want to try a trendy color or for a one night event. Thank goodness most drugstores have moneyback guarantees now on cosmetics.

I bought this kit for an extended vacation where I knew the water had always been harsh on my hair. The shampoo and conditioner were lifesavers. They kept my hair shiny, soft and healthy without weighing it down. No looking like an oil slick. The sizes are perfect for travel and a little bit of product goes a long way! They stylers were great for taming frizz in the heat and humidty too! And the travel case is a wonderful bonus. It's sturdy and it's clear (wonderful for aiport security checks!)

I really like most of Burt's Bees products, but the Super Shiny Lip Gloss is not up to the high standard I'm used to from the product line. The gloss is very shiny which looks great with the paler, more neutral colors. The flavor and scent is appealing. I just find it too sticky and the formula fades quickly. The tube makes precise application difficult.

Cosemdicine's Medi-Matte Lotion is a thicker consistency than I expected and more difficult to apply evenly than I had hoped. I wore it under make-up on a steamy Fourth of July gathering and it did keep my make-up from turning into an oil slick from the heat and humidity. However, I didn't find it very moisturizing at all and would not use this on a daily basis.

Cosmedicine's Medi-Morphosis is a fantastic exfoliator. It was part of Cosmedicine's starter kit and I fell in love with it. It's highly effective without feeling like you've used a brillo pad on your skin - no break-outs, no redness, no irritation! Since I've started using this, I've noticed my skin is more luminous, my pores aren't as noticible and my skin just appears more "healthy". A little goes a long way and I use it on my neck as well!
