This mask smells divine! It contains no silicone so the treatment ingredients actually penetrate the hair shaft, making it strong, supple and really shiny. I use it about once every two weeks or so for 45 minutes to an hour with a heat cap. It keeps my hair really healthy looking. My hair is color treated and this mask doesn't strip the color at all. However, it's really thick and rich (so a little is all that's needed) so be sure and rinse very well. It comes in a large tub, so the price isn't too bad. Whatever's in it really works well. I will definitely repurchase. I highly recommend it.

This mask does leave my hair in good shape, however, it's full of silicone, which coats the hair shaft so no "good" ingredients can penetrate it. After a while, it builds up, leaving a heavy coating on my hair. It's OK for occasional use if your hair reacts well to silicone, but with regular use, it will definitely weigh the hair down significantly. It does smell very nice and it has a lot of "slip" so detangling is easy. I bought several of these when my grocery store had a sale and now that I know it's full of silicone, I'm not using it anymore. Maybe I'll regift it to someone I don't know very well, lol! I'm certainly not going to use it anymore. I definitely don't recommend it and I think it's been discontinued anyway. So there!

When I flatiron my hair, I always use my CHI original. It gives me the the most perfect straightening of any flatiron I've tried. The plates are smooth and get very hot, which helps fight frizz. Yes, it's a basic model, but it works very well for my medium textured wavy hair that's prone to frizz. I've had other flatirons but this one is by far the best and worth the extra $$$. I definitely recommend it.

This mousse held my very hard-to-hold hair when nothing else would. It's really amazing! It's still very light and isn't crunchy or stiff, but it holds my curls like magic. I only need an egg size dollop for my below shoulder length hair because it's so concentrated. It also fights frizz and leaves my hair soft and shiny. My stylist recommended it and for the very first time, his suggestion actually worked for me. I can use a curling iron or hot rollers or even let my hair air dry and this mousse keeps it looking great. It's a fantastic product and definitely worthy of 10 stars! (The Lightweight formula is great for fine hair. My DIL uses it and loves it.)

I love this blush. I wear it nearly every day. It's easy to apply with a brush and it blends like a dream. It gives me a realistic flush that lasts all day. Using a brush to apply conserves the product and ensures perfect placement. I tried applying this blush straight from the stick but it's more easily blended with the brush. It takes only a few minutes to set to a beautiful powder finish. However, I do apply a little loose powder to help it last the duration. This is by far my favorite blush. I highly recommend this product.

This liner is very black when it dries. The brush is quite good too. However, it dries out if you don't securely twist the lid. It lasts all day, until I remove my makeup at night. Most importantly, no raccoon eyes!

This product cakes at a drop of a hat! I've tried every method to keep this from happening but to no avail. It simply looks awful. It does hide my dark bluish circles but if I don't set it with powder, it slides off my face. A few hours after applying it, it has caked up beyond all reason. I absolutely hate it! I returned it to Sephora.

I have this blush in Cactus Flower, a beautiful coral with gold flecks. Coral is a universally flattering shade and the gold shimmer gives my cheeks a fantastic glow. I apply this blush with a brush, which uses less product and makes the color sheer and subtle. The color is a little bold for my light coloring but the application method and the fact that the color can be sheered out, makes it very wearable. Cactus Flower is the perfect spring and summer hue. This blush wears very well and doesn't need touchups during the day. The formula is super creamy and blendable. I'm a big fan of this blush (as if you couldn't tell, lol!). I highly recommend this product.

I love these matte lipsticks! They last forever and are not drying at all. They also come in beautiful colors. My favorite shade is Montego, a beautiful rosy pink. I wear it all the time. It goes beautifully with the Nars Multiple blush in Malibu or Maui. It is a soft pink rosy hue that works well with my light neutral coloring. I love this formula and highly recommend it!

Nars lipsticks are among the best lipsticks I've tried. They are creamy but stay on for quite some time without feathering. I like the satin formula the best and it seems to be the most long lasting. The colors are absolutely gorgeous and always fashion forward. I'm in my 50s now and no longer wear bright or dark lipstick but Nars has a nice collection of lighter shades, my favorite being Senorita, a sparkly beige. I've always had trouble with lipstick lasting longer than 15 minutes, but Nars lipsticks are among the most long lasting I've found. I don't like the sheer formula, but that's my only complaint. Otherwise, these lipsticks are great!
