L'Oreal Paris Superior Preference

Best haircolor - don't even bother with other brands

I color for fun so I can't speak to grays (not yet at least!) and I have used a few different shades of this. Anything near my natural hair color - brown, doesn't fade and looks nice even after 4 weeks. No other brand was this good. The only minus I have is that I chose a copper shade and the color is fine but not really coppery - but again, I colored over already colored hair so who knows? Could just be my hair. Every other brand fades & pretty quickly. It's truly NOT worth saving like $2 - $3.

OPI Nail Lacquer

Best polish - lasts pretty well

And, the best red ever is rated so highly by every beauty magazine - I'm Not Really A Waitress. Plus, every time I get it with a pedi - friends always love the color and ask what it is.

Tigi Bed Head Control Freak Frizz Control and Straightening Serum

I love it and was too cheap to buy for myself until now!

Every time I've gotten a haircut - the hairstylist has always used this - even among different places. So, why did I try other, cheaper products to never work as well? So many reasons but that's another story! Anyway, finally "splurged" and bought for home use. I got a reverse bob and had some frizz and a little curl that just wouldn't stay straight. This keeps everything in check. No, I'm really not sure it would work on super frizzy or curly hair as I don't have that type but I do have sort of a frizz and a wave. Plus, you can't beat a sparkly product for fun! - Linda

Olay Quench Daily Lotion

Great scent, not too heavy, gives slight sheen

This is pretty much the product I always come back to - use it after every shower and you will never have dry skin. Glimmer is nice, not overpowering or glittery.

L'Oreal Paris Pro Manicure Nail Polish

Could possibly be the worst polish EVER!

Listen, my hands take a beating, 3 kids, dishes, dogs, you name it and I don't have high expectations from polishes for more than a few days. This junk lasted LESS than one day. I applied 2 coats, let it dry, went on with my business and it was peeling by the end of the day. I'm shocked at how quickly it broke down. Thank goodness it was an Ulta BOGO and I only lost out like $4 bucks!

L'Oreal Paris HiP Studio Secrets Professional Color Truth Cream Eyeliner

Really great stuff - use sparingly!

This is amazingly good for eyeliner. For YEARS I've tried to find a stick that actually goes on easily without pulling, skipping, etc. I"ve never found one and have bought many. I saw this and had a coupon so I tried it. Yes, you need a few times to get the hang of it but it's great! Use lightly, go over more, wipe your brush, cap tightly and this should last forever. I know I"ve had the black at least 2 - 3 months and it's barely used. You can do everything, cat eyes, tightlining, etc. with this! Wipe, rinse and dry the brush each time but that's about it. Also have it in brown and the brown looks weird in the jar but actually is a very neutral, sable kind of color. You won't regret this purchase but you need a steady hand!
