I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try Wella. When I got it, the first thing I noticed was the packaging-- the color and shape were very pleasing, and reminded me of the "glamorous" brands of the late 80s. The scent is pretty generic-- not really floral or heavy, just pleasant, light and clean. The Wella Brilliance shampoo that I tried was formulated for thick, coarse and colored hair, which describes mine perfectly. It's extremely difficult for my hair to retain moisture, so I had high hopes for this shampoo. However, when I looked over the ingredients, I noticed that the formula contained several different sulfate types, which I know have a tendency to dry out hair. Still, I wanted to give it a a try. Since receiving it, I have washed my hair exclusively with Wella for about a week and a half. I cannot say that I am terribly pleased with it, despite my high hopes. While I know that this is considered a high-end brand, I did not think it performed any better than a drugstore product. The shampoo formula itself is pretty watery, and while it does lather well, the consistency of the lather was quite soapy. It rinsed cleanly enough, but my hair still felt sticky. I did not feel that it moisturized my hair very much at all-- if anything, my hair felt a bit stripped. After drying and flat ironing, my hair still had that sticky feeling, but I did notice that it had quite a bit more shine, and a good deal of bounce. SO while it does lives up to its brilliance claim, in that it gave me a good deal of lovely, lustrous shine, I did not find it moisturizing in the least. It behaved more like a clarifying shampoo than one for coarse hair. I will continue to use it whenever my hair needs a good cleaning from product buildup, but I do not think that this would meet my softness and moisturizing needs.

This is a really impressive product. It's a bit pricier than I would like, but after using it just 3 times, I felt a distinct difference in my hair. It is unbelievable--softer, and doesn't have that dry, crunchy feeling anymore. I am definitely hooked and I recommend using it for 3 washes before you make a decision. The first times I used it I wasn't impressed, the second time was a little better, and the third-- WOW. I have EXTREMELY dry hair with split ends, and if this can help my hair, it can help anybody!

I used to use this scrub about once time per week. I would use it in the shower and I liked to break up my skin care routine with it. I thought it did a pretty good job and wasn't too gritty of a scrub. The scent was very fresh, clean and pleasant. It did a good job exfoliating, but did not rinse as clean as I would like for it to, which is why I don't use it anymore. I do like that the Body Shop uses natural ingredients, so I always feel good about what I am putting on my skin.

I just got this today and used it on freshly washed and dried hair, and I LOVE it. It's very lightweight, and the digital temperature screen is very nice. It's easy to maneuver and doesn't snag. I love that you can achieve different curl sizes with one iron, as well. It gets nice and hot(410 degrees) and really locked in shiny, defined curls. It was super quick to use, as each curl came out right the first time, and best of all, there is no clamping of the hair like with conventional curling irons, meaning you don't have to worry about getting those awful bends in the ends of your hair. This is a really nice product and I like it a lot.

I used to faithfully use this instead of foundation, but it seems like they may have changed the formula. It doesn't really provide any coverage and the tint seems to have changed to a weird, chalky, pinkish tone. That, and it's gotten more expensive. It was a great product, but things have changed.

I have never had a significant issue with facial hair, but I am always interested in trying a new product, especially one geared towards beauty, so I wanted to try this one out and review it! First, I really liked the way that it is packaged. It comes with very clear instructions so there's no confusion as to how to apply the product to sensitive facial skin. The instruction packet even contains a photo diagram so there's no way to make a mistake. Second, I was really happy to see the inclusion of the protective balm that you apply pre-removal. I have never seen this feature in other hair removal products, and I appreciated that this one came in a neat stick form that you can apply just like chapstick, rather than some messy, runny oil. The hair removal cream itself is nice. It does not have an offensive odor like so many other hair creams, and it spread easily over my skin. I liked that it was non-irritating as well, since I have sensitive skin and am have to be very careful about which products I choose. I left the cream on for the prescribed 6-8 minutes, then wiped it off with a clean cloth. I finished the process by washing the area where I applied the cream with water and my regular facial cleanser. After using the product, I was surprised and pleased to find that there was no redness on the area of application. My skin was indeed smoother and while it isn't a major beauty issue for me, it was still a difference, and a nice one at that. While I really liked this product a lot, there are a couple of things I would improve. I wish that the cream had some fragrance of some kind-- nothing strong, since it is meant to be applied right under the nose, but just a little touch of perfume would be nice. I would also like to see the price come down. This was a fun product to try, but I can't see myself spending so much money for a product that only affects such a small area. Other than that, I'm glad I tried it and I would recommend it to ladies out there who are embarrassed about facial hair and willing to pay a little more to fix it, because it works well and Olay is a brand I trust.

I usually love hair oils-- I love them so much and they give me great moisture. However, this one seemed to be of very low quality and left my hair feeling greasy and limp, but not moisturized. The texture of the oil feels very cheap. I would not use again.

You get what you pay for. While this one was cheap, I found that it pinched, didn't close evenly, and hardly curled my lashes at all. I wold not buy it again.

I tried this in store and didn't like it at all. It's expensive and a worthless piece of junk. Don't buy it!

I found these eyeshadows to be of extremely low quality. They crumbled in the cheap-feeling, flimsy compact, and came with a totally worthless applicator. The colors were very dull. I would never buy these again.
