I love this product and did see nice results. However, I'm not convinced that it's worth they hefty pricetag. I get about the same experience with Pernox facial scrub. It's lemony and just a bit rougher than Dr. Brant. Dr. B, I love ya, but I can't afford ya!

I always go back to my Plush Lash.... I may wander and try the latest and greatest, but they never seem to measure up to my good old Plush Lash. This is a great everyday mascara that goes the distance, and you can go for the drama by curling the lashes, applying two coats and maybe enhancing with a few add-on lashes in the outer corner. The formula is great! Long-lasting, non-flaking and comes in a very black version that sets off any eye color. Couldn't ask for more in a tube of mascara.

Hands down, the best results I've ever gotten from a curling iron. The glossy spirals you see on celebs are definitely attainable with this magic wand. However, as one reviewer stated above, I have also had multiple bad experiences with the quality of T3 products. It's extremely frustrating because the results are amazing, but just when you are in the midst of hair bliss, your curling iron burns out, or the spring breaks---not to mention the (3) T3 dryers I've been through. If only they could deliver the same results with a product that lasts longer they would have me for life. The final straw for me was when I traveled home for my 20 year HS Reunion. Of course a gal wants to look stunning when reuniting with classmates you haven't seen for 20 years, right? Not a good time for my curling iron to quit on me in a place where I couldn't even buy a cheapie to get me through. My advice is if you do love your T3 which I definitely do, always travel with a back-up.

The results speak for themselves with this dryer! In a word--AMAZING!!!. I have very thick curly hair and the Tourmaline Diffuser is hands down the most amazing combo for the problems of curly hair, mainly frizz and dryness. I've tried so many high-end dryers and they don't hold a candle to the T3. The downside and reason my review isn't a 10 is because I've gone through 3 now. I don't know if using the diffuser exclusively on my thick, long curly hair is just too much for the motor, but I've literally burnt out 3 of these which is very expensive. Finally, I've had to settle for the Deva dryer which seems to withstand my thick hair better. For anyone with normal or fine textured hair, this is the best money can buy.

I'll admit it, I too much of a chicken to try Botox, but my forehead could definitely benefit. I have some really prominent expression lines that run in my family, and unfortunatly,,,, accross my forehead. Dr Goldfaden Instant Face Lift is a product I use before makeup and it really tightens things up in a noticeable way without a lot of fuss or white residue to deal with. I also put a thick layer on at night to use similar to the Frownies concept of restricting muscle movement at night. Super product and one I keep repurchasing again and again. I have not found a product from his line that I don't LOVE.

I was facing a situation where I needed to get my hair cut off due to severe chemical processing. Years of coloring, highlighting and perming my hair had finally caught up with me. As a last-ditch effort, I bought the Kronos kit which includes the PHYX Overnight Repair Mask. It smells nice and sinks in immediately so no worries about staining your pillowcase. The next day, I felt like there was some improvement and let me tell you---the state my hair was in, I had tried every professional product out there with no noticeable results. I can't really rate the effectiveness of this product on its own, but when used as part of the Kronos kit, it is fantastic! You MUST follow the instructions and stick with the products though. I have a tendency to move on to something else if miracles don't happen immediately. Within a week, my hair had made enough of a comeback that my stylist didn't think I had to cut all my hair off short. By week two, bounce and shine returned to my dull, brittle locks. Week 3---no breakage on my counter when styling my hair and very minimal hair loss in the shower. By Week 4 ---returned to my stylist and she asked me what I'd been doing differently. I didn't have the heart to tell her that it wasn't the Aveda line she sells ---which is also great.

Save your money ladies, these don't last very long, and most of the colors go very pink on the lips. If you are fan of the bright, bright fuchia pinks you may want to try a few of CoverGirl's offerings, but if you are a fan of a more natural muted lip, this is one to skip! I would not say these are drying, but if you have any dry patches, it makes application uneaven and patchy as well.

This is one of those products that is easy to dismiss. I wash my face twice a day, use products that exfoliate on a regular basis, why do I need to complicate my life with an electronic brush? Well, I can tell you that it truly does make a difference. My skin is much clearer, and just looks better overall---tone and texture have improved. It isn't just the fact that it cleans every pore, it helps your treatment products penetrate into the skin and work the way they were designed to work. It is an investment, but anyone considering this product already invests a lot in their skincare routine, so it's definitely worth the plunge!

Honestly, I was surprised I didn't need a prescription for Green Cream. Given the results I achieved, I didn't think it was possible with something you can buy OTC. I would recommend stepping up a level as the manufacturer suggests. While Green cream is gentler than something your dermotologist can prescribe, it is very effective and can be drying until your skin adjusts to it. It has helped refine my pores, reduced fine lines and overall made my skin appear thicker if that is possible. I won't be without it!

My poor hair has had a rough go---permed, colored, highlighted and daily heat styling have left it a mess. I made one last-ditch effort to salvage my hair before cutting it all off and bought Kerastase Bain de Force shampoo---the entire line actually. My hair has made a comeback and looks great. It is expensive, but in my opinion, when you find something that lives up to the hype, it's worth the splurge. The shampoo has a pleasant smell and leaves hair feeling much better after each wash. I would highly recommend the entire line of Baind De Force for anyone who has pushed their hair to the limit.
