I didn't really need this, but tried it out (for free). I used it for those morning bags under my eyes or when I stayed up too late & wanted to look a little fresher. It really worked. I used the whole bottle, but never went back due to the cost.

My aunt used this when I was growing up. I always associated the sweet, clean scent with comfort. I had never considered using it until recently when the wheather got cold and my skin got dry and itchy. This bar has a fairly good amount of glycerine which is why I believe it moisturizes well. This soap (I know. It's infused with1/4 moisturizing cream, meaning it's a beauty bar.) leaves my skin clean, fresh and soft. I have found that it does leave a film on my skin so if a person is looking for that squeaky clean feeling, perhaps another choice would suite them better. I find the bars to be reasonably priced and although I do find that the bars dissolve more quickly than others, it is still cheaper than shower gel for me. Overally I really enjoy this bar and will probably use as my everday body wash bar for years to come.

I have many different fragrances. But I always come back to this one. There are hints of floral, hints of musk. It's classy, sexy, sophisticated. I know there is one for every person out there but this is so me. It is not too heavy, but I can still smell hints of it all day. It is a scent I could wear to work or out to dinner and still seem appropriate. I was thrilled to find out that I can now carry this with me. It is so great when you can find "your scent." This may not be for you, if not, I hope you find one that suits you, and makes you feel as wonderful as I do when I wear this scent. These smaller sizes make great gifts. Another good thing about these small sizes is it lets out try them out without making such a large investment. How I adore Romance!

I did use this in my preteen years. At first it left my hair soft, but eventually I noticed my hair seemed drier and broke quite a bit. I was drawn in by the commercial though and used other Pantene products hoping that I would see different results, but I didn’t. It wasn’t until I went to beauty school and learned about the ingredient in products that I understood why. Pantene was explained to be one of the worst brands on the market because of all the wax that is used in their products. These waxes coat the hair more and more until it becomes like a layer of plastic over the hair, which is nearly impossible to rise off (or even wash out). This is why the results from products like this can be great at first then lead to horrible looking hair later. I do not agree with the company’s philosophy of all out deception (far more so than other companies). I do not believe that a hair model would let Pantene touch their hair. I would like for them to spend more on the quality of their ingredients and less on advertisements and computer generated trickery. One (very short) bright note. I think this brand would work well for short hair that is intended to stay short. It can lay unmanageable hair down (my husband loves this stuff). In my many years I have never seen hair increase in shine from any Pantene product (my husband's hair looks dull, coated & I'm almost to the point where I can spot a Pantene user a mile off), but I have noticed that the ad claims are so effective that some whose hair actually looks worse will think that it looks better because they keep playing the image of some Pantene hair model in their heads. Yes, this is very pessimistic, but I have honestly used $1 shampoo/conditioner that works better and does not leave the buildup.

I've found that this is a hit or miss for many people. It works great for me, leaves my hair soft and easy to comb. My husband on the other hand tried it one day and said that it left his hair hard and stiff. I have heard both opinions from a few people who have tried it, and I have never heard of a product that can work so well for some & be so horrible for others.

This did nothing for my hair. I've tried many types of shine products, and was surprised at these results. I sectioned my hair into two parts (on dry hair) applied to one side and compared the two. I coudn't tell the difference. I waited a little and then went back and still could not see any difference. I do have kinky hair, which takes a little more to get lasting shine, but I've never tried a product that gave me no results. It smells like candy (that's kinda nice, but the scent didn't last long). It just did not work for me. I ended up taking it back and bought Aphogee gloss.

This is really nothing like professional products. It leaves a coating on the hair and isn't the best when it comes to moisture. On the other hand, I don't know if I could find anything better for the price. The smell is average. It's very thick (due to thickners not actual mositure). It's a pretty waxy product. I use this for co washing only. I would never use after clairifying (which I have to do more often due to this product), and would not recommend (because of the wax build up) for long term use. For someone who needs to save some money, and has pretty strong hair that is not prone to excessive dryness, I'd say go for it.

I really like the fact that I can get some hold without flaking or too much dryness. I do have to moisturize with this one. It does leave my hair a little dryer, but nothing like other gels I've used. I really don't like that they use "Organic" in the title as a selling point. It does have some organic ingredients (some of which have little to no benefit to hair styling), but it's not a completely organic product. The hold is okay. It lasts me all day, but not into the next day. It's a light hold that keeps my hair looking naturally curled instead of forced and crispy. It also gives a nice shine. I wouldn't say that it’s the best, but not too bad.

Ulta is my candy store, so I can truly say that, again, I've tied just about every shine product out there. I wear my hair natural, so I have to work to get some shine. I couldn't believe that this reasonably priced (less than $10) product worked for me. It gives incredible shine (using too much will give a greasy look), and it lasts all day. My hair feels soft when I use it and it has cut down on the breakage. It's pretty amazing stuff for me. A little of this goes a LONG way. I don't see why one bottle (about 4 oz maybe) wouldn't last me a year or more. I should have tried this one years ago instead of wasting all that money on the expensive brands.

This may not be a good color for everyone, but it looked great on me. It lasted well, and looked very natural. I have a kind of caramel color with a rich yellow/orange undertone. I like the duo because it gives me options of having three shades in one (I mean wearing either color alone or mixing together).
