I have been using CHI flat irons for at least nine years, and I have only owned two. The first one died after about five years, mostly because I'm reckless and clumsy. I have had my second CHI for three or four years and I've never used a better straightener. Mind you, this is coming from someone who always had dry, coarse, regularly colored and extremely thick and curly hair.

Having hundreds of bottles of nail polish, I can confidently state that this is one of the best brands one can buy. I would recommend OPI to anyone looking for top-quality nail polish. There are so many colors to choose from and OPI is constantly creating new collections. Price-wise, it is pretty standard for band-name lacquer. In terms of applying the lacquer, I would strongly advise that you only apply one (medium-heavy) coat of the most sheer polishes because it does not always look great when you go over a sheer too many times. This goes for any brand, though. OPI is one of the biggest faces in the nail polish industry, and for good reason. It never ceases to amaze.

Let me tell you something. I am a nail addict. I love polishing and taking care of my nails. I spend hours painting my nails and spend way more than I should on anything nail-related. However, when it comes to my cuticles, there is nothing I can do for them. I am utterly embarrassed by how dry and hideous they are. I have tried everything for my cuticles. From the cheapest to top-of-the-line, from best-selling to home remedies, I have used every product I could find. The sweetest gentleman from my local Lush store guided me towards this product. I was skeptical simply because, like I said, I've tried everything (this includes dousing my fingers in Vaseline and sleeping with socks on my hands for weeks). He rubbed some on my hand, and I noticed a fairly immediate difference. I took the pot from him and began rubbing it all over my cuticles. After about 15 minutes of evaluation, I decided I'd give it a try... I'll never use another product again. Instead of putting it on throughout the day, I put it on before I go to bed. When I wake up, my cuticles are moisturized and look healthy. I have made this a part of my nightly routine, and I have seen such an improvement in my cuticles. It doesn't change the chemistry of my cuticles or anything fancy. It simply continues moisturizing my cuticles long after the product washes off. Of course everyone's experiences are going to be different, but if you try this regimen for a couple of nights, you might see a big difference. If you have extremely dry cuticles like me, it's worth a shot. What you do: 1. Don't be stingy. They tell you to use an almost microscopic amount, but take two finger-fulls, don't be shy. 2. Rub the cream into your cuticles and on your nails. It does not necessarily have to be totally rubbed in since you are only sleeping. 3. Lay your hands flat. (A.K.A. don't start touching everything once you put it on. Make this the last thing you do before you fall asleep.) 4. Sleep. 5. Wake up. 6. Enjoy how awesome your cuticles look! It may take two or three days for your nails to achieve that hand-model-perfection look, but I guarantee this method will work. I was a big finger-picker/skin-biter before this cream. Ever since I've started using this product, I've almost completely stopped picking and biting. Well, hey. I'm not perfect.

I am surprised how well this product works for how much it costs. (You can find it everywhere, too.) I have extremely thick, long curly hair and finding the perfect hairspray has been a nightmare. This product is not sticky and keeps my hair in-tact all day. Also, I can use a lot of hairspray and not have to worry about my hair being crunchy. I am really happy I stumbled upon this product because it works well and I don't have to spend my whole paycheck on millions of hair products.

There are many nail polish brands that work well, but only a few go above and beyond the status quo of nail polish quality. China Glaze is one of those brands that constantly produces unique colors and amazing quality. I have only recently started purchasing China Glaze about a year and a half ago and have, since then, acquired over 10 bottles of this product. I am really impressed and satisfied with this brand of polish, and plan on adding many more bottles to my collection.

I do not necessarily recommend this mask to someone who is looking to relieve irritation and correct flaws. However, it does feel great on your face and leaves your face feeling smooth clean after washing it off. I would recommend this if you plan on having a spa day or pampering yourself. It is a good product, but I wouldn't depend on it to avoid all catastrophes.

This face mask is good for oily skin. If you love chocolate, I would recommend this mask. You have to refrigerate it, and it doesn't last as long as a regular bottled mask, but the coldness of the mask makes your face feel clean, refreshed and relaxed. It smells like mint and chocolate and it is pretty tempting to eat. I have never tasted it, and never plan to, but it smells like something you should be eating rather than slabbing all over your face. And after you wash it off, it leaves your face feeling smooth and clean. It feels like a mask you would get at a spa and smells like something you would buy at a bakery; pretty good combination.

I have extremely sensitive skin, especially when it comes to suntan lotion and the sun. I burn easily and I am allergic to most lotions. This lotion is one of the only lotions I can use without breaking into hives all over my body or burning in the sun. I spend a lot of time spreading this lotion all over my body, when I am going to the beach, because it is thick and doesn't spread very well. It takes forever to rub it in so it is not visible, but it does do the job. While I hate putting it on, I would not buy/trust any other lotion.

My teeth are very tightly packed. They are very close together and most flosses hurt. My feelings towards this floss is neutral. It can hurt sometimes, but it also glides right through. I'm torn.

I am addicted to Aquaphor. I use it primarily for my lips. I have dry, chapped, peeling lips all year round. It is a curse, but Aquaphor is my blessing. Not only are my lips dry, but I have a terrible habit of picking them. I buy the 2 oz tube for home and the .35 oz travel tubes for, well, travelling. It is definitely the best remedy for chapped skin and lips and works wonders. I recommend this to everyone; from chapped lips to dry skin to cuts and scrapes. If I don't have any Neosporin, I apply some Aquaphor and the cuts heal just as well. It is worth every penny and works better and faster than any lip balm.
