I had higher hopes for this product than what it actually delivered. I love the Luxurious Volume mousse, but this root booster didn't do much of anything. It doesn't have enough hold. My hair wouldn't stay lifted more than a few minutes after blow-drying. I also didn't get the thicker feeling that most good root products give. This stuff isn't that cheap for a drugstore product, either. I won't buy it again.

I've used up almost the entire tube of this cleanser over the past month, and I feel that my acne has definitely gotten worse. That's not to say that it's a terrible cleanser that's causing breakouts, but it must be less effective than the Neutrogena cleanser I was using before trying this. It's not drying or irritating or anything bad, but if you have more than mild acne, I'd say this is nowhere near effective enough.

This product just didn't really seem to do anything at all for my hair. It absorbed well and didn't leave my hair feeling sticky, and I thought it smelled ok. I just didn't think it's had any effect on my very dry, over-bleached highlights. Granted, I rarely remember to use the treatmment consistently. I'll use it three consecutive nights at most, then forget it for the rest of the week. For the price, though, I'd still expect to be able to notice some difference after a couple uses. I'll use-up the container, but I won't re-purchase this.

I have several issues with this product, all of which add up to making it completely unusable to me. First off, it's so thick! I assume you're just supposed to use a tiny amount, given the very small container, but it's hard to get such a teeny bit of paste-like product to cover your entire face. Even using a little, I felt too much like I could "feel" it there. Second, it didn't set well. I have relatively oily skin, and it felt like my powder absorbed the primer, leaving nothing to help me combat shine throughout the day. I also felt that because of the fact that it stayed balmy, after a few hours, it made my foundation really visible on my skin, with a wierd texture. Last, the packaging for this stuff is ridiculously impractical. A thick paste to be scooped out of a jar? A tube would make sense. This just means a good portion of the product you pay for is going to end up under your fingernail. And speaking of paying - it's much too expensive for how much you get in the jar relative to how much you have to use. This was a waste of money.

I've grown to love this product. I have fine, straight hair, and using just a little of this mousse on my roots before blow-drying adds great volume. I did find that if I use this mousse on the entire length of my hair, it can feel a bit stiff and the shine gets dulled, so I use a different (cheaper!) mousse for that. Whatever. As just a root product, a can of this pricey stuff goes a very long way!

Bottom line: This face wash caused me to break-out more than usual. I thought at first that it was just a coincidence that my acne got worse within a few days of starting to use it, but when I went back to my old cleanser, the problem lessened. I hate to write something off as unusable, so I tried it again - a few days here, a few days there. Every time, new zits. This really didn't work for me at all.

I disliked this product when I first tried it, but have since changed my mind entirely! If I spray a generous amout on my roots when my hair is wet and rub it in before blow-drying, it actually works quite well at providing lift and thickness. I have to use a different product for the length of my hair, but this definitely serves it's intended purpose. I'll buy it again.

I hate this concealer. It doesn't blend well at all, and provides very minimal coverage. I can imagine that the color is too yellow for most people, too. It didn't serve well as an eyeshadow base, either, mainly because it's too yellow to use on the eyelid, and is too moist to work as a shadow primer. Also, they claim that it contains ingredients to reduce puffiness, but I saw no evidence of that. This wasn't that cheap, so it was quite a disappointment.

I had low expectations of this lipstick, given it's 92-cent price tag, but I really like it! It's actually quite long-lasting, and very moisturizing as well. My favorite shade is 547B - a pale, shimmery neutral that I've stocked-up on for layering over other lipcolors. This one is a great buy for girls on a budget. I only wish it came in a wider range of shades!

This new moisturizer is my favorite ever - no contest. I have skin that tends to dry to the point of flaking after washing, then gets very oily throughout the day. This gel-cream zaps dryness instantly and absorbs amazingly! But it's not the least bit greasy, and stays that way. The price is almost surprisingly low for such a great product, where a little goes a long way. Also, it smells plaesant, and even looks pretty in the jar! I hope they keep making this for a long, long time.
