I have a large range of ELF polish shades because I have gotten them in sets at times. Yes, they take a little more care to apply because the formula is thinner than some other brands. With a great base coat and top coat, however, you can make them last nearly as long as most brands and change colors as frequently as you desire. I'm finding it very hard to pay more than $20 for a bottle of nail polish, especially when I know these are available.

ModelSupplies Nitty Gritty Microdermabrasion Scrub Skin Lightener Ascorbic Acid
AN INCREDIBLE WAY TO NEW, FRESH, SOFT, BRIGHTER SKIN
I am so thankful for "CharlieCat31's" review of ModelSupplies' "Nitty Gritty Microdermabrasion Scrub Skin Lightener Ascorbic Acid." Her review was so informative that I ordered it immediately as a "rush" item from Amazon. After a few days of use, my skin is already incredibly improved! Like "CharlieCat31," I use Clarisonic to cleanse and make sure to exfoliate (twice weekly). Most recently, I have turned to Peter Thomas Roth's "FIRMx™ Peeling Gel," but at $48.00 a tube, it goes quickly, especially as my husband is now exfoliating with me. "Nitty Gritty" is composed of super-small, pulverized walnut particles. Ground nut shells have the possibility of creating micro-tears in your skin and possibly creating problems, but these are so tiny, so miniscule that it is more like a talcum powder than a scrub. Once I saw that, I was much more at ease. Aluminum microdermabrasion crystals, jojoba beads, Vitamin C (which lightens skin), and clay are some of the other ingredients. The appearance might be a tad unusual to some, but it reminds me of the "Gardener's" hand scrub which Crabtree & Evelyn used to produce and I used continually. It is a light brown powder, reminiscent of and as smooth as cake mix. There is no artificial fragrance; the subtle scent is a bit like soil. After cleansing skin, make sure your face and neck remain wet. You don't need a lot of the paste. The directions suggest that you scrub gently, avoiding the very sensitive eye area, moving in tiny circular motions. Be sure that you concentrate--albeit easily--on any particular areas which give you problems, such as your forehead, nose, or chin if blackheads or even wrinkles are a nuisance. Rinse very well to dissolve away all of the particles. I like to moisten my hands and treat them to this as well for satiny, brighter skin there. Now, smile as you stare in the mirror--you will find baby-like skin looking back at you, with pores and creases minimized, as well as any area(s) of hyperpigmentation lightened. I simply cannot STOP feeling my face and neck--are they MINE? They are silky beyond belief, absolutely luminous! This product claims that it is like multiple razor blades which remove dead skin and renew. "CharlieCat31" says it is a must-have for anyone with skin, and I could not agree more.

I used this growing up for sore throats and still do. It will neutralize garlic/onion/coffee breath, but the alcohol in it can cause problems later. However, if you want an INTENSELY clean feel, this is for you.

There's a reason why Aveeno's conditioner leaves hair like satin, with a radiance and manageability other conditioners lack. It contains nourishing wheat complex and moisturizing protein, which together "feed" and repair hair. If your hair is already in good shape, it will keep it that way. Only a little is needed for supreme results.

I was curious as to what kind of shampoo Aveeno would create--and I'm so glad that my curiosity made me purchase it. I truly enjoy the lather and the scent. This shampoo gives loving care to my tresses; they are full, soft, shiny, and manageable. Frizz has been tamed. But it never weighs my hair down at all, and I appreciate that quality quite a bit. Wonderful product!

My sister had carpal tunnel surgery and so I've been shampooing her hair for her. It is long and beautiful but very thin and flat. I couldn't believe the difference before and after I used this on her--every time. Only a little is needed, and her hair becomes voluminous, soft, and shiny. She only uses it every three days (she doesn't want to wash too often in order not to damage it), but it works extraordinarily well.

I used this at my sister's home and was surprised at how well it worked. My hair was tangle-free, manageable, and stayed bouncy and clean. It goes a way to keep color in place and is a superior product all the way around. The bargain price is a shock--but I'm not complaining!

Gillette's "Venus and Olay" razor in "Sugarberry" scent was an unexpected pleasure. I have used razors with moisturizing bars, but a scent? "Sugarberry" was pleasant and subtle, making it all the more fun. I have to admit that I was intimidated by the fact that it had five blades, but I actually had no problem whatsoever, no cuts at all. The blades work together for an easy, smooth shave, along my legs and under my arms. The SoftGrip® handle makes holding on to it in the shower no problem. I like the shower hook for easy storage. All in all, this was one of the best shaving experiences I've had in a long time. I've been using this ever since I tried it.

Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Conditioner
Luxurious Deep-Moisturizing Conditioner Silkens Hair
I love when a conditioner makes my hair so soft that it actually looks touchable and soft to other people. This is true of Organix "Moroccan Argan Oil." It replenishes and silkens my hair beautifully without weighing it down, and I've had friends reach over and touch my hair, asking what I have used. I like the fragrance and the fact that leaves hair incredibly manageable, much less prone to frizz, and with a beautiful sheen. I am careful about leaving it in for five minutes; I do realize that conditioning is treating hair which is already technically dead, but you can drastically improve its appearance when you strengthen, coat, and treat the cuticle.

I love great body washes. This particular wash is always super-refreshing, but most especially in the summer when you've been in the sun, heat, or water. It refreshes not only your body but your senses as well. This has a Moisture Lock System® composed of teatree and peppermint extracts, along with glycerin, sugar cane, and willow bark to soften. Coconut milk, rice milk, and bamboo extract make skin touchably soft and noticeably silky, radiant in the light. Moisture is drawn deep into the layers of skin. Sugar cane and willow bark also promote cellular turnover; teatree soothes, calms, and gently removes impurities, dirt, and oil. This works into a frothy, renewing lather and you find yourself feeling better when inhaling the scent. It's like having a spa in a bottle!
