Oh no no no. This is an atrocity. Concept sounds good on paper, looks horrible on lips. Positive things first. It's not sticky, moisturizing, and long lasting! It doesn't smell or taste like anything, and comes in this striking pink packaging with a gradient. So far, so good. After putting this clear gloss on, I anxiously await the appearance of my "custom" shade. First, its just clear. Oh, then a nice natural pink...then pinker...pinker...and after ten or so minutes, OH GOD IT'S BRIGHT NEON FUCHSIA. For a gloss, it does pack a large amount of colour comparable to a lipstick. So for negatives, the colour and the price. (plus an addition of SPF would be nice) If you really want to try it out, it's pretty neat but hopefully the colour really is different for everybody.

I got two sample of these from my purchase at Trade Secret. The bottle is pretty standard with plastic packaging. Like its shampoo counterpart, it has a very, very strong floral perfume scent which leaves a hint of fragrance on your hair. (but that's if you REALLY smell it) The consistency is the same as any other conditioner, and left my hair feeling smooth post-rinse. My hair is naturally straight so I couldn't tell if it did anything, but my hair feels soft and doesn't have as much frizz as usual when I let it air dry. Unlike a lot of straightening conditioners, it doesn't weigh down your hair at all. It's alright, but you would expect more from a salon product. The smell really bothers me, and I hate their sexually charged advertising (scantily clad women for products geared towards women? Alright...) so I won't be purchasing this again.

This is kind of a blah shampoo. It smells nice, it's cheap, it cleans and there's a lot of it. Unfortunately, you MUST use a conditioner with this. Without it, it leaves your hair a tangled, albeit fragrance and slightly of shiny mess. It doesn't do much else except well...clean. But hey, what can you expect for under four bucks?

This mascara really is high impact. It's amazingly clump-free, and goes on smooth. It's impossible to get it to flake and smudge either, so it's really long lasting. I don't know how it fares in water, but it's not SUPPOSED to be waterproof. It darkens your lashes and makes them look thick and separated. Entirely worth the money.

I'm not sure what I think about this product. It makes my face feel really "cold" when I use it, and it doesn't do anything for my acne. It cleans my face, and gets off some makeup--but not the tougher stuff. It made my face kind of dry which in turn made my skin even oilier later on. It's alright if you don't wear a lot of makeup, or have acne/oily skin, plus it's pretty cheap.

This is alright if all you need is to get your face clean. It doesn't remove makeup too well, and it doesn't do anything for acne or oil besides removing oil initially. Also, it dries out my face a bit. The smell is nothing to write home about, but it's very reasonably priced. Also a bit runny, but I guess you get what you pay for.

I tried this because I thought it would get rid of my flakey winter skin. It smells a bit like orange, and I love the texture. It's grainy without being abrasive. (Don't you hate those "scrubs" that are just glorified cleansers?) It cleans my skin well, but it didn't get rid of the flakeyness. Using this in warmer months, my skin is smoother but it doesn't affect my pores itself or my acne. So all in all, it doesn't do much and what it does is very temporary. At least it's cheap, so try it out if you want.

Paul Mitchell products are always outstanding. They are priced very reasonably, and of very good quality--not to mention their ethics are immaculate. This extra-body finishing spray has UV protectors for all you people with dyed hair, it has a nice smell that isn't overbearing, nor is it sticky or stiff. It holds all day and really adds body. I got 2 humongous bottles for only $20! The only thing I dislike about it is that the button that you press to spray it on is a bit difficult to hold down.

I got two mini bottles of this as a bonus sample from my purchase at Trade Secret. It has a smell that I don't particularly like because it is a bit too perfumey and musky. It doesn't weigh down hair and moisturizes well, but always follow up with a conditioner. It keeps my hair frizz-free, and even if I curl my hair and this is supposed to be for straightening, it works to keep my curls smooth. I don't particularly like the brand name and their advertising models, as well as the strong scent. It is also a bit runny. The full size is alright for a "salon" brand, and it cleans well as all shampoos should. I wouldn't buy it again for the above reasons, but if you like smooth, frizz-free, and fragrant hair--by all means, try it out.

This is a little glossy, but not sticky whatsoever. It smells great, and leaves behind a bit of colour. It also has SPF, and lasts a long while but doesn't stand a chance against food or drink as expected, though it does stay on for a few hours if left alone. It's a bit expensive to boot, but overall a good lip balm/light lip gloss if that if that is what you're looking for.
