I bought this polish in Flair, a pretty metallic red. It looked good even with just one coat, and it was shiny enough not to necessitate a topcoat (but I used one anyway). The problem was how the bottle of polish itself aged. After just a couple uses, the polish really started to thicken and the drying time required for it became excessive. I only got to use this for a month or two before it became unusable because it was so thick. I stored it the same way I store all of my nail polish - in a box in the hall closet - so I know I didn't do anything wierd that could've ruined it.

I've adored the smell of Caress since I was thirteen! I use this body wash now, and I still love the scent so much. It leaves my skin soft, and it's not at all expensive. I think the bottle is pretty, too.

This cream smelled absolutely delicious, but it took forever to absorb into my hands (and my hands get pretty dry). In fact, I don't think it ever really did. It may have just eventually rubbed off. While it was on, it stayed greasy, and somehow didn't seem to moisturize that thoroughly at all. I also have to say that jar-style packaging for hand cream is tremendously inconvenient. It may be cute, but it's annoying to have to screw a cap on when your hands are covered with extra-greasy cream.

I wish I'd read the ingredient list before being seduced by the pretty purple box and marshmallow-sweet scent of this product. I do get dry skin, but a girl who also has some acne issues CANNOT use a cream that contains FIVE different ingredients with the word "oil"! The cream was way too greasy for me. I returned it to the store after the first use (lucky that place had a good return ploicy), so I didn't have to suffer the breakouts that this would have inevitably caused. This might be good for an older woman with incredibly dry skin...but if I was old, I think I'd want some anti-aging ingredients...I don't know.

I've been using this as my "at work" lotion (just as the Editor says!). It moisturizes my hands well, and that's so small feat in the middle of January in Michigan (though doesn't come close to the moisturizing powers of Curel - my morning and night necessity). I bought it mainly because my mom used to buy the Soft & Sensual lotion when I was younger, and I've always liked the scent.

Initially, this is like rubbing concealer onto your lips. It's a beige color that erased my lips almost completely. But I didn't let that turn me off of it: I waited 2 minutes (as directed), then applied my lipstick over it. Well...it made my peachy nude-colored lipstick completely invisible. So, I tried a darker shade of lipstick - one that I normally wouldn't wear without a light colored topcoat because it's too dark for me. Suddenly, that shade was a flattering tone, and it DID last for an extraordinarily long time. The Lip Grip kept my lipstick on very evenly and kept my lips moist. I'd go so far as to say it really did make my lips look a bit more plump, because it kept the color from settling into the lines in my lips. This product requires an alteration of your usual lipstick shade, because it automatically lightens the color, but it truly does do what it says. I should add that the reviews that claim this product is "glossy" and "sticky" can't possibly be for this product (it's matte dries like foundation does). They're for Sally Hansen's Lip Conditioner + Plumper, which looks exactly the same in the package.

This treatment left my hair soooooo soft and shiny! I highlight my hair and subject it to daily blow-drying and heat styling, so it can get a little parched now and then. This conditioner really helped it, and it didn't weigh my hair down (it's fine and straight). I'll continue to buy this product.

This is an excellent, efficient volumizer for a low price. It gives lasting volume and hold, without stiffness or stickiness, and it smells wonderful! I recommend it to anyone with fine, straight hair like me.

This lipstick looked fine when I first put it on (albeit too pink...I think most CG lipsticks are too pink). Anyway, after a couple hours, when the glossy topcoat started to wear off, I was left with clumps of color in the lines of my lips. If I smiled and you looked closely, you could see the tiny little stripes. The problem was exacerbated by the fact that the lipstick, despite the gloss, is still kind of drying. I found the only way to fix the "stripe" problem was to put on a good lip conditioner and rub REALLY hard. I'd brefer a creamy lipstick that wears off quickly to an uncomfortable one that wears off unevenly.

This is a bleaching disaster waiting to happen. It's extremely difficult to apply with the flimsy masacara wand they provide. Look at the wand and then look at the highlights in the picture. There's no way that wand made those skinny, perfect lines! Anyway, the bleach mixture starts to dry up halfway through the application process, and when it dries up, it starts to flake off of your hair. This results in insufficient bleaching time. You think, "Hmmm...If the bleach is all dried up and flaking off, it's time to wash it out, right?" Wrong. Washing the bleach out too soon, which I assume many novice home-highlighters do, is what gives an orangey end result. If you've already bought this and you still want to try it, be sure to leave it on for the full recommended time. If you haven't bought it, DON'T!
