I reviewed this product in tandem with the five other Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Products. I think it's ok and it certainly is a budget-minded bargain, This styler, and the hair spray, are a good choice whether your goal is a tousled, messy look, or just any look. And the price? How can you beat that? The scent is lovely and the spot hold works well, without leaving you with "helmet head."

It's a light conditioner that is fine for hair that doesn't really need a large drink of moisture. For daily use and for a familyl that has to share conditioenrs, it's a good choice.

I reviewed this product in tandem with the five other Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Products. I love the light and airy texture, and the cconditioners that made my hair soft and silky, while getting down to business on flyaways and frizz. The product added shine and made my hair feel soft, but it didn't make it go flat or make it greasy. For me, that's the key to a great finishing conditioner. . If you want a touseled look, the right products are a must-have. This conditioner is budget minded but better than a lot of pricier ones.

I reviewed this product in tandem with the five other Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Products. I think it's ok and it certainly is a budget-minded bargain, but my hair doesn't really require the volumizing action of mousse so it wasn't my favorite product in the half-dozen in the line. I do like the light, fresh scent. If you want a touseled look, the right products are a must-have. This mousse will do it's job perfectly well, for less than the cost of a burrito!

L'Oreal Paris Kohl Eyeliner comes in a translucent vial with built-in thin-line brush. The velvety powder is exceptional, and makes a soft line in black, brown, navy, teal, burgundy and gold. "#203 Teal" is unusual and modern, without gaudy. I found the liner a bit challenging to apply, but I'm not an eyeliner fan to begin with.

This product is a powerful skin polisher that combines physical and chemical exfoliant to enhance the look and feel of your skin (while it infuses it wth age-fighting nutrients). Resurfacing microgranules gently polish off dulling skin cells, while a unique, thermal technology plus Lactic Acid activates upon contact with water to help cell turnover in the longer term. White Tea, Licorice and vitamins A, C and E help protect and provide antioxidant defense, and there's Prickly Pear Extract to accelerate your skin’s natural exfoliation process, too. The thick, gel-like product has a slightly gritty feel that you gently massage in and then rinse clean and easy. (you can use this on damp or dry skin). It heats up a bit as you massage it in, which feels sort of nice. That being said, this is not an exfoliant for sissies-- if your skin is easily irritated and you don't want to look red afterwards, don't massage to hard or too long. However if, your skin can handle the recommended 2-3 times weekly, your skin will still look softer and smoother with less applications. Dermalogica is a company that provides lots of information about the ingredients and processes involved--visit the web site to see all the interesting ingredients in this one

Rock & Republic delivers a superb Lip Gloss that's shiny but smooth and never sticky. I love the super-sexy shimmery shades that offer your lips a heap of moisturizing sheer color. It's pricey, but the gloss looks and feels sensuously wonderful. THe price is almost justified when you realize that you can add additional layers of gloss to transform these sheer glosses from subtle and sheer, to a lip look with seriously bold color and shine. I tried "Mistress," a rich rose that gave lips a seriously shimmery pout--layering on a few coats and (and will) change your attitude! This high end gloss is a bit of a splurge in these economic times, but when you consider how many different looks you can get from just one, it's a great value as well as a little luxury.

This product has a unique delivery system that features a unique and somewhat glamorous treatment: a huge, sleek, shiny sliver, rollerball roll-on in a huge, click-it pen tube. The application provides a massage that stimulates micro-circulation. In other words, it helps to relax skin tissues and soften signs of fatigue with an instant, spa-like, anti-stress effect. The rollerball delivers floral-scented active ingredients such as hydro-calming extracts, antioxidants and regenerating proteins. The application feels refreshing, and relaxing on temples and other stress points -- you'd look younger instantly just from feeling less stressed. It makes a perfect, take-a-break from work moment. I would have liked to have seen more information about what the actives were in this product. I couldn't find them anywhere. But the product feels good, de-puffs, and does make skin feel softer. Perhaps you don't need any more coaxing to purchase a luxurious product from France, but if you do need an extra excuse, consider this to be an attitude adjuster you can take with you to relieve stress, as well as combat the signs of aging.

This creamy lipstick gives you a really bold pigment but still feels soft and silky. What distinguishes this collection of lip colors is the "vivid impact" they make. These are not shy, "sporty" colors, nor are they grey or muddy or watered down. They're the same type of expensive-looking, sophisticated lip color I see on the runways during Fashion Week at Bryant Park. A nice touch is that these have shea butter, a super-moisturizer, to keep your lips smooth and soft, as well as well tinted. There are plenty of colors to choose from in mauves, wine/burgundies, pinks, reds, and beige/browns. I tried "Ms. Right," a seriously rich, movie star red that to my surprise, looked sexy, not slutty or crazy! The lipstick stayed put for hours, even when I rubbed my lips a bit, and even better, some of the tint remained even when the lipcolor had worn off. If you want a wears-like-iron, feels-like-luxury lipcolor for less than the cost of lunch, you've just found it!

This by makeup artist and P&G Beauty Global Design Director Pat McGrath on the Spring/Summer 2009 runways. The first thing you notice is that the brush is FAT...I mean, it's really big, with plastic bristles placed close to one another to ensure that every lash gets coated from top to bottom. The mascara's "fat wrap formula" boosts volume. One swipe of the brush, and my lashes already looked longer and thicker. Two swipes, they looked even better. I didn't go for three, but I'd be willing to guess you'd get a "faux eyelash" look if you kept going. This puts pricey lash plumpers to shame! One version of the mascara can be washed off easily with soap and water, I tried the waterproof version which is best removed with eye makeup remover. The mascara is hypoallergenic and suitable for contact lens wearers and those with sensitive eyes and comes in black and deeper black, and blackbrown
