John Frieda Precision Foam Colour

Does not work!

In less than 10 days and only two shampoos away from application ALL of my grey roots are back. This is not even a Demi-Permanent! It's horrible. Yes, it was easy. Yes, it was non-smelly. Yes, IT DIDN'T WORK. This is the most disappointing product I've ever used in my entire life--a total waste of time and $13.00. I can't say enough bad things about it to make myself feel better even, not and have my revue allowed into this column. It's just rot, pure rot. And being forced to give it even one in order to rate it at all infuriates me.

Maybelline New York Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Washable Mascara

Maybelline New York Lash Discovery Mini Brush Mascara

I use Latisse and have monster long eyelashes. Unfortunately I'm 48 years old. Unfortunately some of my eyelashes are grey. Unfortunately monster long grey eyelashes are bloody unfortunate looking. For the first time in my life I have to coat both the tops and bottoms of these eyelashes...an additional pain in the neck as I already have to curl them because they grow stick straight. Everyone says you shouldn't use curlers after applying mascara but I do anyway--I'm just very careful and slow about it. Other mascaras clump and are simply too sticky to allow for a second (and sometimes third) curling. This one not only grabs each and every grey lash with its mini brush, but also let's me curl to my heart's content. It's perfect and I'm fortunate.

John Frieda Full Repair Full Body Conditioner

John Frieda Full Repair Full Body Conditioner

I started going grey in my late 20's and have been dying since then. My roots come out so often I've damaged my hair a bit with all the dying so of course my hair doesn't shine as it should and it looks frizzy too. I discovered this product two months ago while in the Virgin Islands, in the hot sun, and I can't say enough good things about it. It doesn't weigh my hair down like you would expect something this emollient would do. Pair it with the shampoo and you're set.

Proactiv Oil Blotter Sheets

Proactive Oil Blotter Sheets

These things I never leave home without--and more than once I've returned home to discover either my niece or my sister has stolen them from my make-up bag. You know they're good if your own kith and kin pinch them from you.
