Artistry line from Amway is superb in general. Let's just take this lip gloss as an example. It comes in shimmering pink, red, and neutral shades. A built-in mirror and clever little light for application anywhere (a dark car, a romantic restaurant, the theater, etc.) make life so much easier. And when you apply? Your pretty pout will be refreshed and highlighted by a great gloss with a cooling, tingling mint sensation. No tackiness here--just hours of gorgeous wear. It may seem high in price, but Artistry says that you will get at least two hundred applications from one lovely tube. And the little light? It should stay lit for six years with average years! By then your gloss will have been long gone . . . This gloss is not sticky, lasts a few hours with just one coat and is not too bright or sparkly. The top has lights in it and there is a mirror on the side so you can always see what your doing no matter where you are. It has a subtle minty flavor as well. I can't wait to try the other colors! The Light Up Lip Gloss has some great features that make it a Cadillac of lip glosses. The number one feature in this lip gloss review is that it feels like a soothing lip treatment on your lips and you’ll feel the healing sensation occur instantaneously. Other cool features that I have to include in this lip gloss review: *a light inside the cap of the applicator! This lip gloss lights up in the dark so you can apply in a movie theater, restaurant, party, car, bus *a mirror on the side so you do not have to dig in your purse for a mirror *The Artistry Light Up Lip Gloss comes in three shades, a neutral (Champagne), a pink (Glitz) and a red (Passion), *The lip gloss lasts forever, *Your hair does not stick to your mouth on a windy day when you are wearing this lip gloss, Lip Gloss Review Tidbits: *The Artistry Light Up Lip Gloss is a Miss America favorite and was feature by Kathy Lee Gifford on the Today Show. I highly recommend!

This is THE best conditioner I have ever used; not just drugstore brands either. It feels more like a deep conditioning treatment and leaves my hair so amazingly soft. I often get bored and like to switch thing up, but this is my new staple. At about $3 a bottle, you just can't go wrong! What a perfect companion! I love the coconut smell and the fact that this conditioner left my hair soft, but wavy for a fraction of the price. I keep it in about 4-5 minutes while soaping up, it rinses out easily. My wet hair was tangle-free and my comb fairly glided through it. Abused it with the drier as usual and it still came out smooth and jaw-droppingly soft! Highly recommend to everyone that I know and love.

I love this bronzer!! It gives me a natural year around bronze and I love the shimmer it puts in my tan. I have used it everyday for about two months and have plenty of product left, so this was definitely a great buy for me! I contour with this under my cheek bones, and I use it on my forehead very close to my scalp, and on my jawline. Than I use a bronzer brush (not the one included) and get some bronzer on it, and rub on my neck area and chestbone so it looks natural when I wear tops. I've had it for a year now and it's still going strong... Estee Lauder has a fabulous product with this bronzer. My skin looks healthy and glows and I constantly get complimented on it. Love it!

I love how it creates waves unlike the smaller 3 barrel irons I have used before. Those ones creates more of a crimp than a wave. Something I didn't want and that's why I got this. The only things I don't like about this are that it's heavy and my arms get tired after waving 3 sections. Also the temperature is not hot enough to set my fine hair. I have to use a lot of hairspray to make it hold. But love love love how I can create waves now without using too much time with the straightener. This works so well. Heats up nicely and styles last long. It is also really easy to use. I also like the slightly smaller versions for short hair.

I have tried several color enhancing shampoo products, and many times I am often disappointed, but this one may be the best (well, their conditioner is the best). The shampoo looks like a melted milk chocolate (don't worry, it does not smell like it). It lathers well, and helps my hair softer and shiny dark brown, but I actually think its conditioner that does the job. I also like the fact that this is very affordable and easy to find. Leaves hair very shiny and smooth. So I"m giving it thumbs ups!

I like the blue clips it comes with better than my conair purple curlers which is the wire ones. I only use the large curlers because it gives me a good body wave, also it heats up within 5 minutes. My hair does curl easy, but I do have to use a little more hairspray when it comes to these curlers. I'm a curler junkie and have almost every large fat rollers they sale out there, whether heating curls or just leave over night ones. I've had these since they came out and they still are going strong and I use them all the time, mixed with my other heat curlers that have the large size as well. IThese are really affordable and are about the average cost going for $30-35. I really don't see a difference with these and the INstant Heat purple one's that look and feel the same, aside from one has clips and one has wired pins to hold them in place. I do leave them on for atleast 10 minutes because I've notice if I take them out before they've cooled off, my curls don't really have a body wave to them, but rather more of a flat end of the day or looked like I was in the rain look, which isn't flattering first thing in the morning or the beginning of a dinner party. I will admit though I do wish the curlers were bigger, but on little girls with long nice healthy hair, I use all the curlers on my daughter when dressing her up for family photo's. I layer her look with the small curls on the front sides and save the large rolls for the back of her hair. Healthy straight hair is hard to keep curls in place, so I spritz her hair first then I use a stronger holding hairspray after I take out the curls. It last for atlease 4 hrs or so and then her hair settles from bouncy curls, to beautiful bouncy natural looking waves. So if you don't want to waste or have the time to use a curling iron which does produce nicer curls, I'd say this is a good investment because of the variety or curl sizes that aren't too Shirley Temple looking.

That's exactly why Nars Highlighting/Bronzing Blush Duo is a keeper, with bronzer/highlighter on one side and blush on the other. (No brush though; you'll need your own). The powder formulas are shimmery enough to make skin glow, but not so much that they enhance flaws. And they offer medium coverage that won't budge all day. Of the five shade options, my favorite combo is the universally flattering Orgasm/Laguna. 0rgasm is my favorite blush [which was CORALista before I used it] & Laguna quickly became my favorite bronzer. I had been using a cheap Jane. or ELF bronzer my whole life so I never knew how great a real bronzer can look. Laguna does not look orange, too shimmery, or unnatural on my light skin. It is the perfect mocha color for contouring my cheeks. I really want to try Albatross because I hear that it is such a fabulous highlighter as well. I sampled it in Sephora and was pleased but I would prefer to see the color outside first. I love the NARS rubbery packaging but this is so0o expensive! infamous Laguna bronzer from NARS and their blush in Deep Throat, so when Sephora released this duo with these colors, I had to snatch it up! Both are everything I had hoped for. Laguna is a very flattering bronzer and contour color, even on my fair skin. Deep Throat is more peach than than I expected, but very pretty. It adds a nice pop of color to the cheeks, but is still fairly subtle. Both apply and blend really easily, making the colors look seamless on my face. The compact has a great mirror which makes this perfect for my makeup bag, not to mention that having a versatile blush and bronzer in one compact is wonderful. This duo runs $41 which ain't cheap, but considering that as single NARS blush is almost $30 and the Laguna bronzer is even more, it was nice to be able to try both for a bit cheaper. The amount of product you get is generous as well so I am a happy camper. I like each color enough to purchase them solo when the time comes. For now I will carry my duo in my purse for easy on the go application.

I hate the fact that I even have to use a lip plumper, but after seeing the horrible lip injections, my mom got done, I'll stick to lip plumpers. I tried a few lip plumping products and after sucking it up, I decided to buy Lip Fusion. I'm so glad I did. It's the best plumper out there...at least for me. You can feel your lips get tingly and then a little numb. I notice a little "plumping or swelling" of my lips when I use this. The best part is, it doesn't feel nasty heavy and it leaves your lips moisturized, something I love. Total plus. It is a little expensive, but a tube will last me at least a month and when you break it down, that's a little over a dollar a day. Beats having painful injections!

love this styling foam! It's pretty light weight and doesn't leave my hair feeling super stiff or sticky. It's a little bit more expensive compared to some other styling products that I've used but I think it's really worth the price, especially because you don't have to use all that much so a bottle it going to last awhile. I noticed that the package says for fine hair on it but my hair is thick and wavy and it works just fine. I love the extra volume and body my hair has when I use this and it really keeps my hair from turning into a big frizzy mess on those humid summer days. I usually combine it with Citreshine serum for extra frizz control. It has good style control and holds style well. No strong fragrance which I like but it is a bit pricey.

i love using natural ingredients for my skin but sometimes it means sacrificing on the quality that I'm used to. Beecology makes an awesome body wash that cleans well and leaves a subtle scent. my boyfriend has been using this secretly. This smells great and feels clean when I use it. I think it is so great that there is someone out there who makes a soap that is free of any harmful chemicals. I feel like I am helping the planet in my own insignificant way when I use it, and I feel like this soap is very high quality. I have been using beecology soap for about a year now and I am very happy with them. They give free samples in the box when you order and are very accommodating. I love the squirt bottle top and the quality of the soap too. first off I have to say is that I love the scent of lavender and it is such an amazing scent to really relax you and help you unwind after a crazy day. With the body wash being 100% natural and being free of preservatives, PEG, and Sulfate it gives me the peace of mind that this product can be used on my entire family with no problems. I tried this product with the puff that was offered in the review. For my little ones and me we all loved the smell. For me I noticed other amazing factor's with this product like how it lathered up and it rinsed off nicely as well. It keep a nice light scent on your body but wasn't overwhelming, and no stickiness to the skin which is always great.
