I JUST bought this gel nail polish starter kit yesterday, and I just can't wait to try it out! I had been wanting to try it out b/c whenever I paint my nails, they are either chipped or smudged in a day, so this is something I am hoping will help and have been wanting to try it out. Walgreens had this item on sale and even further discounted with a coupon (about $65 regular price..$45 after sale/coupon...!!!), so I jumped on it. The gel nail polishes were on SALE for $10...but with sale/coupon $5, so I bought a few colors while they were on sale. I came home, researched the starter kit (because you can't use them without the LED light) and after seeing the FABULOUS reviews, I BEGGED my husband to let me purchase this while on sale...ya know...cuz it will save him $$ in the long run...*giggle*!! Well, so far I have read through the instructions and it seems like it is very easy to apply! I haven't tried it yet, but I am sooo excited! I came here to read the reviews here...and I couldn't help myself from putting "my two-cents" in...I am just that excited! I will update this as soon as I give it a whirl!!! YAY!!! OKAY today is 6-16-2013...I tried this five days ago...IT STILL LOOKS LIKE I JUST, JUST, JUST DID MY NAILS!! No chips, smudges...NOTHING!! SHINY as HECK!!! SO AWESOME!!! I AM SOOO HAPPY!!! I wish they had a color/top coat that had sparkles/glitter in it (they may have and I just am not aware)! I will N E V E R go back to regular nail polish! It DRIES IMMEDIATELY...no waiting...I LITERALLY cured my nails and as soon as the light went off, I picked up my purse and ran to the car where my husband and son were waiting for me with the car running!!! My nails look like I JUST HAD THEM DONE!!! OMG...SO AWESOME...WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! DON'T WAIT...GET THIS NOW!

After seeing the TV commercial, I passed by the Vivids lipstick display and they happened to be on sale! Excited, I bought two-Brazen Berry (my FAVORITE) and Hot Plum. The colors ARE "Vivid" and it is very smooth and creamy without being greasy and smudging easily. It stays on fairly well, too! In addition to the wonderful color and great texture/durability of Vivids, it smells really, really good!! Although the cost of this product is well worth it, I will continue to scour the ads to see if/when Vivids are on sale so I can stock up...I like to leave on in the bathroom with all my make-up and one in my purse. The biggest problem I have come across is that I CAN'T CHOOSE WHICH COLOR TO BUY!!! THEY ARE ALL GREAT!!! ADDENDUM: I have NEVER-EVER-EVER in my LIFETIME used a whole tube of lipstick...I went through THIS ONE in ONE M O N T H!! And I have the "go-ahead" to stock up (from the hubby)! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS...and the gal who reviewed this above it right...when the lipstick wears off, it leaves a tint on your lips...AWESOME...so your lips are never completely "naked"! IT IS THE BEST-EVER!!! BUY IT!!! PAY DOUBLE!! SOOOO EXCELLENT!

I am using a product similar to the "WEN" cleansing/conditioning shampoo that I purchase from Sally Beauty Supply called Hair One. It has no SLS (a product that is put in to make the product "lather"...also an "ingredient" in household/industrial kitchen cleaners (!) and has been known to cause cancer). I get the "for color-treated hair" line, and even the beautician that colors my hair ALWAYS comments on how she can't BELIEVE how well the color stays in my hair and doesn't fade and how healthy my hair is! My dentist just told me the same thing two days ago (it's OBVIOUS I color my hair as it is purple, black, red, blonde...you get the picture...so it was no big deal for her-my dentist-to say something to me...she was giving me a huge complement). Again, IT DOES NOT LATHER, and I was very scared about this before I tried it. I thought it would leave my hair greasy (and it is below my shoulders...so not short), I didn't think it would clean my hair. MAN! Was I surprised! I L O V E it! It DOES take a little more work to wash your hair with it as you have to rinse it well before/after you "shampoo" it, and you have to use "a lot" of the product, but remember...it is also replacing conditioner and WAAAYYYY healthier for your hair. After you are done washing/rinsing, you even put a little bit of the product in your hand and work it through your hair as a leave-in conditioner...which I ALSO used to buy. If you are skeptical, I recommend going into Sally Beauty Supply (or to their website if you don't have one near you) and buy one of those "trial packs"...like a little foil "pouch" to try it out before you purchase a bottle. I LOVE IT, and (don't gross-out) I try NOT to wash my hair everyday so I don't have to put it through all the blow-drying, flat iron and heat torture...NOT A PROBLEM! I also notice less hair in the drain, AND I can TELL when I gather my hair into a ponytail that I actually DO have more hair as it is a thicker diameter ponytail (if that makes any sense). Anyway, I usually don't post, but I really do feel strongly about this product and did a lot of research (most of the "reviews" I thought might be from "the company" (WEN)...not "real" consumers, so I had to weed through a lot of comments)...but if you feel you want the "real" WEN product...go to Amazon instead of through WEN because WEN makes you sign on for a "we will send you enough product every month and charge it to your card"...whether you need it or not. You can go to Amazon and buy individual bottles of actual WEN product without joining WEN's "club" that way. I am VERY pleased...I mean...it's A LOT of $$$ to color your hair and to have it fade out so quickly...well, I am so glad to have discovered this.

I tried this mascara on an "impulse-buy". It was inexpensive so if I didn't like it, I wouldn't be out a bunch of money. While there are other mascara's out there that might work better-be more "waterproof", I was pleasantly surprised to see that this mascara did not clump and provided great lash separation, where the more costly mascaras tend to clump. This one did a great job at lengthening. It was very easy to apply, and I didn't have to reapply during the day! I was completely satisfied with it's "performance", especially considering the price of this product-I think I paid approximately $3.00 (give or take some change). Yesterday I even bought an extra to have on hand or to put in my purse). For the price, you really can't go wrong! And "Very Black" is VERY BLACK!
