This frame makes a great gift as long as you take the time to set up the photos for someone, since it is not as easy as the instructions would lead you to believe. There are some superior features such as you can display your frame on a tabletop or on a wall and you can display it either horizontally or vertically, which is kinda cool. It has a remote control. You can hook up your printer and&n...

Shu Uemura Eyelash curler is a favorite with celebrities and makeup artists because it creates the look of very full, long lashes with a curl that sometimes even lasts until the next day, even after I remove my eye makeup. The curl is substantial enough to even forgo mascara - and it creates a curl without a crimp mark that looks fake - this curl looks like the long lashes you sometimes see on ...

When I first tried this mascara, I thought it was hands down the best, it made my lashes very black and thick and long. But it wears off quickly and looks sort of gray. Because of this, I recommend Dior as a great mascara for a short event - like it was originally designed for a model walking down a cat walk. For the rest of us, a good use of this mascara is if you are getting your photo taken,...

I had good success with other Too Faced products that I was very hopeful about this mascara. It is a good mascara and I probably would have been happy with it if it was not just one of the many plumping mascaras that came out this year. It has a super-sized brush for clump-free application. There is one that sells for $8.50 at Sephora, the size is about a third of the regular size which sells f...

Several knock offs of Eclat exist amongst other brands but I have never found one that has just the right hue to highlight and conceal and brighten like YSL Eclat does. The price for Eclat is steep - typically $39.50 in stores like Neiman Marcus and Saks. It comes in four shades and shade one (Radiant) works as both a concealer, a highlighter and a brightener. I was impressed by how this concea...

If you drink lots of coffee or tea or red wine, your teeth can get stained pretty fast. Most whiteners come in trays you have to keep in your mouth or tasted bad to me. I liked the taste of GoSmile, it comes in pear and peach and mint. They will whiten quickly and are easy to use. They are great after eating out with friends or clients instead of brushing teeth - even if does not look whiter - ...

I have tried many mascaras to find just the right onem and for everyday use or when I want my lashes to look naturally long, I use this one. I have several concerns to consider such as will the mascara run or streak with I apply my undereye concealer, and I like really dark black mascara. Also, I am not that adept at application so it needs to be very non-clumpy. Nice thin coats that ...

This product has truly been a beauty revolution for me. For the price, my expectations were high, but I would highly recommend it. I purchase expensive mascaras so this actually worked out as a savings for me because I really do not need to use much eye makeup like eyeliner anymore. That is a nice perk for me since I really could never get eyeliner right. Revitalash makes lashes darker, longer ...

Ardell Lash Growth & Accelator is designed to promote eyelash and eyebrow growth. At such as cheap price, it is certainly worth a try to see if it works for you. I had been using Revitalash for several months and wanted to find a less expensive product that would just maintain the excellent growth I had already obtained with Revitalash and thought I would try Ardell. I was disappointed in t...

My hands probably show more signs of aging than I believe that my face does, I have been careful with sunscreen on my face and throat but have neglected my hands. Time on your Hands does wonders to remove the wrinkley consistency of hands, elbows, knees and feet. It is not really a softening cream per say, it mostly attends to skin that needs to be exfoliated and lose a old, dry layer. Skin loo...

Philosophy is a wonderful brand but they often discontinue products without much notice, and they often don't tell you what their products actually or how to use them, instead opting for platitudes or happy manifestos where directions usually are. I ended up getting the Sheer Splendor because my usually Philosophy conditioner was out of stock. The Sheer Splendor line is unsung due...

My best hair conditioner ever was Philosophy Breaking Point conditioner - primarily a safflower oil and jojoba oil blend, my hair was left soft, shiny, and the oil largely would soak into my hair so it was not really oily, I could even use it in smaller increments and blow dry it in as a styling agent. Then they stopped making Breaking Point and instead made Shear Splendor Age-Defying Hair...

I do not really want to use a straighter that often, so I did not wish to invest in a very expensive one. I more wanted to deal with the occasional cowlick or funny frizzy piece of hair so I got this one. I like that there is a long cord with a swivel feature that does not tangle, so it makes it easier not to touch the actual hot parts. The handle gets a bit hotter than I find comfortable to us...

The HP All In One printer is a printer, copier, fax and scanner. I was very pleased. It works a bit slow as a printer connected to a PC, (it is supposed to be 16 to 19 pages per minute, but somehow seems slower when printing verses copying) but it prints well on multiple mediums of paper and transparencies and it works as a copier very quickly without the streaky lines seen with many home ...

I bought this for a wedding reception that would have no dancing, so I figured people would get bored easily. It does run on batteries (or plugs in) and can print photos directly from your camera or from a smart card. It is relatively easy to carry (about the size of a little igloo) and takes regular photo paper, and also printed well on index cards. I was able to use it without reading the man...

I hate paying $30 for a black ink cartridge for my inkjet printer. I tried the refill it yourself cartridge kits  and could never do it myself. Since it is only about a teaspoon of ink in each cartridge, even discount ink stores felt like I was overpaying. I was excited to try Walgreen's ink refill service, they take several types of HP empty cartridges and will refill them for you for...

Eyes Lips Face (ELF) Nail Polish Remover Pads are nail polish remover pads in a cute portable tin, great for travel if you have a nail polish chip. I like that it is a non drying remover, although it is somewhat oily. I do not consider this a flaw since it is moisturizing to the nail while removing the polish. It usually only takes one pad to remove my polish, although sometimes I use two ...

Eyes Lips Face (ELF) Mechanical Eyelash Curler for $1 is very similar to the $12 Japonesque Ergo Grip Eyelash Curler handles & shape. The handles are much easier to grip than a traditional eyelash curler and allows more control. If you have not tried an eyelash curler before this is a nice cheap way to do so, and if you have had problems using a curler with loops for handles, this migh...

Eyes Lips Face (ELF) Therapeutic Conditioning Balm - similar to the $14 Tarte 24/7 Lip Sheer . My lips frequently get cracked at the ends and I thought this balm was better than Creme de La Mer Concentrate for soothing my dry chapped lips. This $1 balm worked when NOTHING else worked for me. It is not just a Vaseline or chapstick type balm, it is a firmer consistency with four pleasant sce...

Eyes Lips Face (ELF) Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF 15, my favorite shade is Mauve Luxe, one of eight shades,  is a highly pigmented gloss that has reasonable staying power and a grape vanilla scent. I was pleased to find an SPF for my lips at such as reasonable price and the shades are good for a nice everyday look that is not too glossy looking or messy. If you do not like the look of gloss,...
