Here are all my reviews:

Basically, this is a thin, yellow-based concealer masquerading as a treatment. I don't think it does anything to de-puff bags or treat dark circles in any way, but it does something to conceal them. The color (which was ok for me personally) certainly won't suit everone. It's very yellow, and not quite light enough for the very fair-skinned (who probably have the most issues with circles in the first place!). It's very moist, so it doesn't seem to last all day, either - even set with powder. I end up combining it with regular concealer to get better coverage and longer wear. Lastly, the packaging doesn't make sense. The rollerball is too fat to get into the corner area where the darkest shadows appear. It does, however, contain a lot of product for how much you actually need to use. I can imagine a tube would last a good few months with daily use, if you like the product.

This mousse is probably a good pick for very fine hair, as it doesn't way it down at all. I do wish it had held better. The volume didn't seem to last very long for me, and it didn't really help my curls stay all day. Perhaps this would work better for volumizing shorter hair. I'll use it on days when I don't need a lot of hold for my style.

I'm surprised by the lackluster reviews this mousse has received. I just started using it, and it truly does leave my hair looking and feeling thicker. It has a lot of hold, so the volume lasts all day. I curl my hair a bit, and the curl held amazingly well through today's 40-mile-an-hour windstorm. That's saying a lot for my hard-to-hold hair! As with any product that has effective holding power, it's easy to use too much and end up looking dirty. Be careful! I highly recommend this to those with fine hair.

This is a very effective root lifter. I didn't find it to be stiff or sticky - it just made my roots feel thicker and hold their blow-dried place all day. Perfect. I did find that I have to use kind of a lot of it to get the desired effect, but maybe that's just my hair. The price is alright, and you can usually find it on sale somewhere (plus, John Frieda coupons come out often). I'll buy this again.

This is an excellent new lipstick. The formula is very moisturizing, but the pigment doesn't disappear too quickly as a result. The color is highly saturated, too. It's inexpensive, and the shade range is pretty vast. I highly recommend it! Note: The "Totally Toffee" shade is a gorgeous nude for warm-toned pale chicks like myself.

I love this new lipstick. It feels great on, and it truly does moisturize while looking beautiful. It comes in a wide array of shades (I have 3 and plan to collect more), and the packaging is the prettiest I've seen. It's also really well-priced, especially when you consider sales and the fact that Rimmel always puts out coupons. Get this lipstick!

When I first tried this mousse, I hated it...but I was using it like a regular mousse, which it really isn't. Then I tried it again, using a very small amount (a blob the size of a ping-pong ball for shoulder-length hair), and applying it mainly to the ends. I love it now! It gives my layers definition and holds the bit of curl I give them, and my hair stays so soft. I recommend this to anyone with layered hair.

This made my layers easier to style, somehow. I can't explain it, but it did. My hair is fine, sort of long, and naturally straight, and I'm perpetually trying to add volume and definition to it. This seemed to shorten my styling time. I'll continue to buy it and it's accompanying shampoo.

This seems like a basic clarifying shampoo to me. It made my hair feel lighter - a tiny bit more volumized. The tradeoff for that benefit is that my hair felt really dry after using it. I normally use a moisturizing shampoo, and this definitely doesn't fall into that category. I didn't notice any improvement in my haircolor, either.

This lotion smells alright and feels great, but it just doesn't contain enough tanner. I'm really pale, so a difference should've been apparent. After five days, I saw nothing close to the color change shown on the bottle. I mean, I'd wake up looking a bit darker (having applied the lotion the morning of the previous day), but then I'd shower and be right back to square one. So, it's like the color takes 18 hours or so to appear and then washes right off. This stuff was kind of high-priced for a lotion, too. A little does go a long way - it's super-runny - but this isn't effective enough to be worth it.
