Redken Blonde Glam Pure Pearl Color-Activating Treatment for Ultra Pale Blonde Highlights
Amazing conditioner, does nothing for toning
I was given this by a hairstylist that basically botched my hair, turning it a banana yellow. This did zero for both me and my mom as far as toning down brassiness, but it makes my hair feel SO silky both in and out of the shower...I have long, fine, naturally dirty blonde hair that tangles extremely easily. Usually when I am in the shower I have to comb through my hair while I have the cond. in to de-tangle it..(takes forever/pulls out a lot of hair) not with this! I wring the water out of my hair and then cover it entirely with this product...I leave it on for around 2-3 min and when I am rinsing it out I can run my fingers right through it.. no comb required! I use it in place of a normal cond. and it hasn't dried my hair out in the least (and my hair was super dry before this). I would give it a 10, but I noticed that now that the bottle is almost finished it doesn't work as good as when I first started using it. Still great though, and not too expensive either!

For me, there is NOTHING bad about this mascara..(I guess the packaging could be prettier...lol) This mascara is dramatic, but natural looking at the same time. The name really says it all! It gives a nice big soft looking fringe, it doesn't flake or smudge on me. It isn't too wet so you don't have to worry about getting any on your eyelids, but it's not to dry either so you don't have to worry about lashes looking 'crusty' or falling out. It is one of the cheaper drugstore mascaras and is quite often BOGO at walgreens. You can't go wrong with this I rec. it to everyone!

This is good for dramatic and very black lashes (I have carbon black color). I love the container...it's super lightweight (just like carbon!) and the black/gold container is nice...this is a very wet mascara and you have to layer it quickly. If you let it dry a little before layering it, it WILL clump BAD..It doesn't volumize as much as I thought it would :( (maybelline full n soft is great for that!) but it lengthens very well. The only reason I don't use it very often is because removing this stuff is such a pain in the a$$ that's it's not worth it to me. The reason it's hard to take off is because there is SO MUCH PIGMENT in this mascara that I feel like no matter how many times I use my makeup remover and face wash there is still residue lingering..it takes at least two days for the residue to be removed...three tries one night and 2 tries the nest morning. I'll stick with my maybelline full-n-soft..the extra layering to get it dramatic is worth it as it only takes a minimal amount of time removing!

I bought this when I ran out of my HE foundation. I use mineral makeup and like a sheer coverage so just keep this in mind! I also have combo/acne prone skin... The coverage is very heavy, but it can be sheered out when mixed with water or moisturizer(doesn't look very good done this way though). Pros and Cons -a little too matte for me. -covers well, but has a very 'made up' look. -holds up great in Florida heat and humidity! -Doesn't make me break out(hallelujah), but I feel it's contributing to more blackheads on my nose/chin area. -Great price! ($10 something @ target and walmart) -Great color selection! -Doesn't transfer or 'melt' off -Photographs beautifully Overall: People who love moderate to full coverage and are used to liquid foundations will love this! You can be sure this will hold up throughout the day and cover any scars! If you are on a budget or can't find a foundation that keeps back oilies this one is great.

This is the first 'spray/mist' self tanner I've ever used and I was pleasantly surprised. It smells like sugar-y limes and it doesn't have an ounce of self-tanner smell (don't know how they did it!) If you are looking to get dark though, then this isn't it. I'd reccommend this as topping off a tan you already have. Another thing is that I wouldn't use this on smaller areas like your arms because it waste a lot of the product, but this is perfect for your stomach/chest and back! NOTE to banana boat, bring out a tanning lotion in this scent!!!

I would not recommend this to someone with dry/color treated hair. This works great on my roots, but really strips the rest of my hair. After using this it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to comb my hair...what's funny is the conditioner is even worse. I should have listened to the aveda consultant when he said this line is for people who have normal healthy hair! Oh and I realy liked the smell at first, but it gets kinda old after awhile. It has Aveda's very strong plant/earthy smell. I am more a fan of their Blue malva shampoo scent!

Excellent facial cleanser. Doesn't make my skin tight but makes it feel nice and clean. I have definitely noticed less blemishes, but more noticeably less blackheads/whiteheads. I would give this cleanser a 10 if it didn't have that HORRIBLE strong medicinal scent....also doesn't lather which takes a while to get used to, but give it a chance! (I have combo acne prone skin)
