1. On further reflection, I wouldn't call Milla's Plum (L'Oreal) a copycat of Enchantaberry (Kevyn Aucoin). It's a plum, whereas Enchantaberry is a berry, so one is purplish while the other is reddish. But, they are similar colors, one's just a little more pink-brown-mauve-plum while the other is a pink-brown-berry-red. I do like the Kevyn Aucoin better.
2. The new L'Oreal shampoos (haven't tried the conditioners) are fantastic. Learned from Kerastasé formulations. The Sunsilk deep conditioner is only so-so. I think the Pantene Pro-V damage repairing conditioner is far better: makes hair supersoft. Plus, it's periwinkle blue.
3. Cover Girl Lash Exact Mascara. You know, I don't really have trouble applying mascara precisely. Maybe if I knew how to work the brush better. I can see how this makes a huge difference for most, but I find this to be a very soft, natural look, and because I am used to brushing on multiple coats, it actually clumps on me. I like more mascara than this, so... interesting, but I want more. I think I prefer the inky blackness of L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black, which are one-step-below-falsies-intense-but-still-not-clumpy good.

I can't find that Milla's Plum anyway...apparently there are tons of those L'Oreal "star" lipsticks. grumbles...
I think it's less the idea of wearing a lipstick with a famous name on it...this worked only for the Catherine Deneuve collection, for me...and more the idea that someone famous put their name on something; they must have had a certain amount of say as to what the color would be like. It's less generic than the typical celeb endorsement.
