New Scent: Donna Karan Gold

I might try this perfume

Who here has tried Cover Girl LashExtract? CG isn't known for their mascara, but I'm always interested when drugstore finds are pronounced equals with their higher brand counterparts. Benefit Boi-ing is really the best concealer I've ever used.

Karma Elysia! Thanks!

I tried Donna Karan Gold. It's perfect. Check it out!!

Facial Moisturizer For Day: Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer

^^ this has got to be the WORST moisterizor I've ever had the misfortune of using.

I second that. It was so heavy, absolutely refused to absorb. Plus because of the soy protein, it gives you a stash!

allure's best of beauty is usually useless as the products which advertise the most in the mag seem to win over and over again

 

[Tushka_BeLLa]

^^^ I don't think that's true

i'd love to try Donna Karan Gold but it hasn't been released over here!
