It's hard to tell whether "curl-boosting" products are made to help just anyone get curls, or to help naturally curly-haired girls keep theirs in control. After blow-drying my straight hair with this mousse and spending 30 minutes with my 1-1/4" iron, I have to assume this one is the latter. My hair curled fine at first, but it fell limp within a few hours of my. I can say that it wasn't crunchy and that it smelled great, but it didn't do much for me.

This is one of my favorite mascaras. It provides plenty of thickness and length without clumps, and the formula doesn't smear or flake one bit. The brush is easy to handle, and works well even on lower lashes. With such an affordable price, I highly recommend this one.

I love this stuff! With AHAs and BHAs, it exfoliates extremely well, without being gritty at all. At the same time, I don't find it to be irritating with twice-daily use. It seems to help control oiliness, which I suppose is where the "pore-refing" effect comes from. I thinks it's helped to imprve my acne, without being harsh and drying, like most true acne treatment products. I'd recommend this to anyone with oily to combination skin, or anyone with mild acne.

It's nice that this hairspray smells excellent and doesn't make strands remotely crispy, but it just doesn't hold well enough for me to like it. My hair is straight, so I need something stronger to hold waves and loose curls, and this stuff ONLY just barely did the job on days when I stayed indoors - in air-conditioning - all day long. A strong gust of wind or a drop of humidity with this stuff, and the style was lost.

I've been using this stuff for 7 years now. This is by far the most effective cuticle moisturizer I've tried - and so much more convenient and wearable than messy oils. It works much better than cuticle creams that simply disappear, and it smells good, too. As others have said, the excess left on your fingers after application makes a great hair "fixer". I apply it to my ends to give extra definition to my layers.

Having had little to no results with the original strips, I was dumb enough to spend money on this "Ultra" version. Granted, I was more intent on using them on my boyfriend than myself (huge man-pores truly deliver that crazy strip-as-porcupine effect that's so fun/gross to see). Anyway, they hurt WAY more than the original version, and they still didn't manage to grab onto any of MY blackheads (Well, maybe one, but I can see many more that it missed). They also leave behind a residue that has to be rinsed-off, lest you be left with redness and discomfort. And again, I think these actually CAUSE breakouts.

I've tried these many times, hoping to see the awesome results that some people say they've had (A strip that looks like a porcupine? Sounds cool to me!) Alas, every time I remove the thing from my nose - sometimes painfully, I must add - nothing. I can see that I do have blackheads there. This thing just doesn't grab them. However, I have subjected my dad and boyfriend to these strips with AMAZING results on the strip (Perhaps they work best on giant man-pores?). BUT...they both claim that they are left with visible "holes" in their skin and tend to wind up with zits - not just blackheads - after using them. So what are these supposed to be good for, if they CAUSE breakouts?

This is a good basic shampoo, but it just doesn't live up to the lofty claim of wether-proofing the user's hair. It certainly made my hair feel soft and clean, but even with styling products, it was in no way impervious to humdity-induced flyaways and flatness. I can assume that for someone who has naturally curly/wavy hair and real frizz worries, this would be even less effective at controlling the problem. The shampoo is fine and smells nice, but it doesn't do what the maker says it does.

Upon first applying this product, I liked it. It was thin enough to apply evenly and soaked in quickly. It smelled good, and the shimmer was pretty, not bothersome. By the end of the day, I was satisfied with the noticeable color change. However, after a shower the next morning, I found I was back at square one. The "tan" washed off almost completely, except in a few drier spots. Because of this, a week of daily use left me sort of blotchy. The majority of color in this product seems to just sit on top of the skin waiting to be removed, rather than staining it for a lasting "tan". Further evidence of the color's easy removal is it's obvious transfer to clothing. I know most self tanners do rub off on bra straps and such, but this seemed to be a worse offender. This would be alright for special occaisions, because it looks great on, but it's not a good option for regular use.

This isn't the best foot scrub I've tried. It was a bit too runny, and I'd have liked it to have more exfoliating beads and "gritty stuff" than it did. After about 5 seconds of rubbing it on in the shower, the stuff seemed to have had just dripped off. It was gone. It should be thicker. The warming factor was nice, but I didn't notice a real difference after using the product for days in a row. I really don't think this is worth $10.
