I love this cleanser! I just ran out and need some more, fast! I have combination skin so in the winter it's perfect but in the summer I'm on a strict regimen of steams, clenses, scrubs, masks, toners, creams, lotions and whatever else I can do to my skin! This cleanser really cleans, I can tell because I see an improvent and see the clean but also, the Alba Deep Sea Facial Mask doesn't seem to work as well without it! I can feel a little tingle, a good tingle, not painful tingle when I do the mask after the cleanse. I cann feel it working on spots on my face and now when I use the mask without it, not so much. =( I love this cleanser and I love the whole set! It really works, but let me tell you, you need the cleanser! Other than that the cleanser itself is great for just when I want to clean my face. ^_^ Great product.

I loved this toner! It makes my skin look fabulous! The perfect balance! Not oily but not dry! I use this with it's mask, toner, and cream. I love to use this toner after I walk at the park. I keep a bottle in my purse and dampen a tissue and wipe my face with it to freshen up my face. I also use this on days when I'm to lazy to do the whole routine.

Okay, I use this cream along with the Alba Sea cleanser, mask and toner. Now, I only use this in the morning because it takes it a very loong time to absorb into the skin. It sits on top of it and makes your skin feel really stick and tacky. I tried to go to sleep with it on and had to pull my hair back, wear a headband and try to sleep on my back with my face to the celing to make sure it didn't rub off onto my pilows. By morning my face felt nice and dry and my skin looked great but I thought it was too much work. So I now use it in the morning only. I try to use very little because it keeps your face looking super shiny and sticky for a long time. My face was really shiny one day I had this on and had to go out so I put some oil free powder foundation on top and it worked like a makeup primer and kept my makeup in place and once the powder had been on my face for about five minutes or so I had the perfect dewy look. Not too shiny, not too matte. Nice and natural and the powder helped so that when I touched my face it wasn't sticky. The product does do what it claims and I have a wrinkle on my forehaed that I think it plumped and firmed a bit, so that was really nice. ^_^ I will buy this again since it is healthy for my skin and also makes for a great primer! A little goes a long way!

This is perfect for hair that is anywhere from tight curls to loose curls to just wavy. If you have more wavy/straight hair and not curly/wavy then you might want something stronger like Set Me Up Maximum Hold Gel. This works really well for my curly hair paired with the Totally Twisted Mousse. It gives me the perfect curl, not tooo tight, not too loose, and not crunchy! I have gotten sooo many compliments on my hair when using this product it's crazy! I am in love with this set and it will forever be a part of my closet and beauty regimen.

My hair is starting to grow out wavy and I always scrunch my hair to get it to curl. I always used Totally Twisted gel and mousse but now I need some more oomph, and this delivers! I can still have adorable cute curls now, that hold fabulously, and long tresses of hair! Thank goodness my hair can now be culry even while it's long! This is a must have be it for scrunching or for making a style or unruly strands stay, a little goes a long way and it's a great investment!

This mousse does exactly what it says it will do if not more than you expect of it! I really like a tight curl( I have curly hair and scrunch it) but this actually makes my hair too tight for my taste! But at the same time that's a good thing because I can use less products and get a great curl. It saves my money. This has a great scent to it as well! Lilly Bliss is what the scent is called. Very fresh and girly. Must have for curling your hair in rollers or if you need a hairstyle to really hold, like at prom or something. I will be buying this again and again!

I have curly thick coarse hair. Like really thick hair because I get told I have thick hair and get compliments all the time and I'm Indian/Italian. I just wanted to be specific because some girls who say they have thick hair I think don't really know what thick hair is, so if you have thick hair like mine, you can trust my review. Okay now, this shampoo(Frizzy to Smooth) isn't really clarifying, its more moisturizing. So if you have a bunch of hair products on your hair ( I always have to style my curly hair with a gel and mousse) you might have to wash with it twice, but I do like the fact that it moisturizes my dry frizzy hair, that's helpful. I use this along with it's conditioner and I think it does a nice job. As far as a shampoo and conditioner go it's great! There really isn't anything wrong with it. For those of us with thick hair I think it's essential that we always use some sort of styling product in our hair afterwards so when I'm finished and use my Totally Twisted Mousse and gel in it my hair curls gorgeous and looks great just like when I use the Totally Twisted shampoo and conditioner. I bought the Pantene Medium - THICK mousse and gel and I don't think the hold is good. It makes my hair looks nice but I like a bit of a tighter curl, my hair is growing out and is somewhere between wavy and curly, and when I use these products it looks like it contains the frizz but doesn't scrunch or curl well to give you a tighter curl. I know it's all about smoothin our hair but I thought when it said MAXIMUM hold that it would work well as a curl booster. The products aren't bad though and I guess I should have gotten the styling products for curly hair. I just got everything in THICK because Pantene's site suggested I buy from that collection. The products do what they say they will do though. Smooth out you hair. Maybe if I use the gel by itself I'll have a better result, hmm... Well I hope my review helped! IF you don't have Curly hair like me and its more thick and straight then the styling prodocts might work better, as they never said they were for curly hair in the first place. I would get the shampoo and conditioner though, they work well and smell great! I'm going to give this shampoo 8 stars. I never really was a big fan of shampoos anyways... I just don't expect much from them, but conditioners and styling products, yes.

This is my favorite liquid foundation! I have it in Creme Cafe. It's perfect! I can just shake the bottle and dip my finger in the lid and blend it on my face. It matches my complexion soo well and is soo blendable I don't have to blend with a brush, While I was applying it my sister stopped to gasp and tell me how great and flawless my skin looked with this foundation on. ^_^ The coverage I'd say is anywhere from medium to thick. It's buildable. I only put one layer on and it covered all my blemishes. I didn't even have to use concealer! This comes in soo many shades that there is definitely a color for everyone! The bottle is glass so all you have to do is hold the bottle up to your skin and pretty much if it matches it will match, The only downside is that there is no pump. But other than that I think I am going to stick with this foundation.

I love this! It's the perfect combination of pigment and sheerness! I don't need a bronzer because I am bronze. I love the fact that I can use it as a foundation if I want and it's not too shimmery so I can wear it every day as well. I will definitely be buying this again! I love how it gives your face a slight glow and shine! I can't wait to use this in the summer time!

This concealer works well on everything but underneath my eyes. It turns a bit grey for me under there but other than that it works perfectly for me. It being a bit off underneath my eyes though is okay for me though because I am big on bold eye makeup so you can't tell by the time I put my face on and I don't even 'need' the concealer under my eye either. When I put this on then follow with the L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable creme it's perfect. I think this concealer works fine as long as you have the right color. My color is 'Neutral - Medium/Deep N6-7-8' I would buy this again. ^_^
