I just purchased this lip gloss, and the main thing that drew me to it was the price. The shade is a nice Tangerine, perfect for spring. I liked that it came in a squeezable tube, and dispensed the right amount of product. The scent is pleasant and a little fruity. I like the shine of the gloss, and it is not too sticky or vinyl-like, which I don't like in lip glosses. I do wish that this lip gloss gave a little more color to the lips. The shade in the tube is beautiful, but I didn't see very much on my lips when I applied it. Still, I would probably buy this again.

After years of searching high and low, doing research and trying many face creams, both inexpensive ad high-end, I have decided to go back to the basics. My skin is fairly sensitive, and tends to dry out on the cheeks and around my mouth. I have been using Pond's for about a week now and so far, I am very happy with the results. it leaves my skin very soft and smooth, and the tone of my skin has evened out quite a bit. I have not experienced any irritation or breakouts since using this product, which is great! I find the scent to be light and refreshing, and the texture of the cream is very rich and smooth. I plan to continue using this and hope to see more good results!

I like the softsoap body washes because they're very high quality and still pretty cheap. They have a nice selection of unique scents(outside of the normal vanillas and florals), and I like feeling as though I get a little luxury in the shower without paying a high price. They leave my skin moisturized and smelling sweet, and a bottle will last a very long time.

This is one of the best eyeshadows I've ever used. I love to experiment with colors and the sheen is just beautiful. The variety of colors is very bright and vibrant, and while they are definitely high shine sparklers, none of them are overwhelming. They are great for day wear or to create a special evening look. LOVE this.

I have heard so much about the innovative Nioxin brand that I was absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to try one of their products. I received a bottle of Nioxin Diamax, which is formulated to strengthen hair and increase its fullness. My hair is prone to dryness and breakage, so I am always on the look out for a product that can help me combat my hair's fragile nature and make it strong. When I opened the bottle of the Diamax, I was immediately aware of the scent. While not unpleasant, this product had a very noticeable smell of alcohol. I turned the bottle over to check the ingredient list, and sure enough, alcohol was the first ingredient to be found. While I was at it, I went over the rest of the ingredients, and I was not terribly impressed with what I found. This product contains more fragrance than it does panthenol, which is a very important hair strengthener. Still, I applied this to my hair, which was clean and dried, running it through my strands. I was surprised to find that the texture of the product was not oily at all, but had more of a water consistency. It wasn't runny, but clearly different than most products that I have used. After application, I found that my hair was a good bit smoother, but the product definitely leaves a sticky feeling to hair. The alcohol smell persisted, but the overall fragrance is not unpleasant...it is fresh and clean smelling. To my amazement, though, my hair did appear quite a bit thicker, as though the strands had been fattened up. My hair is pretty thick to start with, but it was really interesting to see that difference in texture. I definitely saw thicker looking hair from using this product...each hair was considerably fatter. All in all, I would say that this product is great for someone who struggles with thin hair, especially if you have flyaways. From what I understand, it is fairly expensive so I don't know that I would purchase it for myself, but it could be worth it to see that "fattening up" effect for thin hair. Very interesting product.

I am a huge fan of argan oil. I have been using it for years and have tried about 4 different brands now. I use it religiously, every time I wash, blow dry and flat iron my hair, which is extremely thick and quite coarse. My hair is prone to dryness, so I am always using oils to help seal in moisture after I apply leave in conditioners. I received a sample of Redken's take on Argan oil, and was very excited. I liked that the product was clear in color, and the texture of the oil was very silky, and absorbed into my hair quickly. the fragrance was very light, but pleasant. It definitely made the task of detangling easier. After I blow dried my hair, it did seem to retain a bit more moisture than usual. I applied a very small amount again to protect my hair from the flat iron heat, and was pleased to find that it did not weigh my hair down, and smoothed it nicely. I did not notice that my hair had any more shine than usual, but overall I am happy with the results. However, while I enjoyed using this sample, I do not think that I would purchase the product in a store. I know that Redken products tend to be much higher priced, and I did not notice a significant enough effect on my hair to justify spending much more than I normally do for similar products. However, if you are especially a fan of Redken products or don't care about things like high prices, then I would certainly recommend this product. It was great for sealing in moisture and making detangling, blow drying and flat iron easier. Hair seems softer, too. Great!

I've seen this product in Sally beauty Supply stores ever since I was a little girl. I remember giving it a try a couple of times, but was never terribly impressed with the results. The consistency is weird and gelatinous, and the smell leaves much to be desired. That, and the thought of putting cow placenta on my hair is pretty gross. It doesn't really condition one way or another, it just sits there and rinses out, with little change made. Yuck.

I don't think that I have ever rated a product a perfect 10 in a review before, but this product is more than deserving. If "11" was an option, then that's what I would select. This product is truly in a miracle in a bottle. I have(had) extremely dry, damaged hair that I thought would not grow-- but after using this, I see that the real problem was breakage! Since using this for 2 weeks, my breakage has stopped almost completely, and I am retaining length. The first thing I like about this product is the price. I purchased it at Sally's Beauty Supply for around $6. The amount of product given is very generous, and I estimate that this one bottle will last me about 5 months. I liked the fact that the bottle is clear, so I can see the product, and the spray top gives a nice, even spray. I am big on examining the ingredients when I buy beauty products. I was very happy to see that I could recognize all of the ingredients, and that it didn't have any drying alcohol or salts listed. I was very pleased to see that keratin was listed as the second ingredient; many products don't contain high concentrations of the ingredient you're seeking, and are a ripoff. Not this one, though. I have used this product after every wash, and I use a deep moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. It is important to use moisture in conjunction with this product because it contains protein, which requires balancing to avoid hardening the hair. The product directions state that this spray is activated by heat, so I blow dried and flat ironed-- and even after one use, I could see an improvement. 2 weeks later, I am amazed. My hair is like silk, has beautiful shine and body, and best of all, has stopped breaking. My hair feels so much stronger that I can hardly believe it. I cannot imagine being without this product, as it has given my hair a new lease on life and I am so excited to see it keep improving. One caveat: While it is tempting to use this product frequently, you must be careful not to overdo it with the protein. I like that this spray is a “lighter” protein, so it is less likely to harm hair, but it is still imperative to balance use of protein products with moisturizers to avoid breakage. That said, I would recommend this product to everyone!

I tried this product line at the recommendation of a dermatologist, who said it wold clear up my breakouts and fade my freckles, and overall transform my skin. I used this cumbersome and expensive kit faithfully for weeks, hoping to see some changes, and while I did see changes, they were not what I wanted at all! My skin became red, tight, itchy and irritated. It broke out everywhere, and peeled. I do have fairly sensitive skin, but this was ridiculous. It was similar to having a serious chemical burn. Even if the products had worked, the fact that it contained 7 steps was a bit much. I followed the instructions to the letter, using the ridiculous amount of time-consuming products, and it basically ruined my skin. The initial irritation just got worse as time went on, and I am so upset that I spent so much time and money on something that gave me so many problems.

I was so excited to have the opportunity to try some Wella products. Ordinarily it is a bit out of my price range, so it was great to try a higher end product than what I would normally buy. The first thing I noticed about this conditioner was the soft, tube-shaped bottle. I prefer this type of packaging because I feel like I can get every last bit of product out, rather than having some go to waste at the end. When I turned the package over to check out the ingredients, I was excited to see that "Diamond Powder" was listed. However, none of the other ingredients jumped out at me as having much potential to moisturize or repair my hair, which is extremely dry and hard to moisturize. The particular variety I got was for thick, coarse and colored, hair and I was hoping it would live up to its claims. I have been using this product line for about a week. I washed first with the corresponding Wella Brilliance shampoo for coarse and colored hair, then applied the conditioner. I let it sit in my hair for about 3 minutes before rinsing with cool water. I blow dried and flat ironed as usual, and one thing I immediately noticed was the shine. My hair really did appear to gleam, which was wonderful to see, and had a lot of bounce. However, it felt a little sticky and dry, as though it had just been deeply clarified, rather than moisturized. All in all, I would not recommend this conditioner if you really need deep moisturizing, as I did not see those results from this conditioner in any way. However, if you're just looking for a shine boost, then I would say this fits the bill. Either way, always fun to try new things!
