John Masters Organics Zinc & Sage Shampoo with Conditioner

great stuff!

This is my favorite shampoo--I love it for what's in it, & for what it does for my hair. There there no harsh cleansers, no chemicals & no parabens...only pure, natural, mostly organic ingredients, including aloe, zinc, & sage. I can actually read & understand the ingredient list! I've noticed my hair is a lot shinier and looks very healthy--no more flakes or itchy scalp, so the shampoo has definitely lived up to its claims. Also this is the best smelling shampoo I've ever used. My only complaint is the price...it does cost slightly more than other salon brands I've tried, but then again, I guess good quality ingredients don't come cheap. Bottom line is, even though it's $20 a bottle, I definitely think it's worth it!

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Loose Powder

Beauty without the high price--way better than Bare!

I used Bare Minerals for about a year, and then switched to GloMinerals since I wanted the option of only using one mineral powder (vs. a powder & mineral veil) I LOVE love love mineral make-up for my somewhat oily, prone to breakout skin...however I did not love paying $35 every 2-3 months for my mineral make-up. So I was very happy to find Physician's Formula mineral make-up at my local drugstore for about $12. One of these little jars lasts me almost 6 months (!!), and the translucent light color is perfect for my ultra-fair skin...the warm undertone in this make-up corrects the pink undertone in my skin, and it looks so lovely! I get lots of compliments on my skin now---breakouts are a thing of the past, my make-up looks great ALL day, and even if I fall asleep without washing my face, I still wake up to clear, beautiful skin. I would never consider switching to anything else--this is THE ONE for me!

John Masters Organics Deep Scalp Follicle Treatment & Volumizer for Thinning Hair

So far, so good!

I'm on my second bottle now, and I can see and feel a lot of new growth on my scalp, especially near my hairline. It has a very yummy, pleasant smell, and it gives my hair nice, soft, touchable volume. My one complaint is that the bottle only lasts me about about 2 1/2 weeks. It is rather pricey, but considering the results I've gotten so far (plus that it's basically two products in one, a styling aid & scalp treatment) I'll definitely buy more.

John Masters Organics Citrus & Neroli Detangler

WONDERFUL multi-purpose product...leave-in, rinse-out, or use as a styling aid

I love this conditioner--a bit pricey, but it really works like a luxury product should. I haven't found any drugstore conditioner that even comes close (and believe me I've tried!) This stuff does wonders! I have course red wavy hair which has a tendency to frizz and get very dry on the ends. I love to use this as a leave-in conditioner, work a bit through my ends while my hair is still damp, and then blow-dry (which I HAVE to do, or else my hair goes crazy) I then use a bit more as a styling cream after my hair is dry--it gives me luscious, shiny soft hair, and I really feel like it's nourishing my hair. And after reading on the John Master's website about how he sources his ingredients (Fair Trade, USDA certified organic, etc.), I totally think it's worth paying more for.
