I don’t know if I just got a bad batch or what. These have been my go to for years. The mix of colors nicely conceals in my hair. They have always been comfortable and easy to use. This last package has a coating on them that made it nearly impossible to get them off the card (thus creating the total and complete destruction of the card, which was disappointing since that is such an easy way to keep them). I also found that the coating kept the pins from sliding through my hair easily. I use these not only when I pull my hair back but I frequently do beachy waves by setting my hair in pin curls. Hopefully I just got a bad batch, but if you are out buying these, check on them in the store before you buy. I will, of course, give them another shot.

These are the only elastics as far as I am concerned. They are well priced and hold up well. I do miss the fun colors they used to come in.

This is my go to shampoo. I have a ton of fine, wavy, frizzy hair. Pantene makes my hair manageable. Being a cosmetics junkie I love to try new things all the time. When my experiments go wrong I always get the classic Pantene back out. I find the formula gives me enough moisture to help fight the frizz, but does not leave my hair looking greasy and weighed down. It gives you an effective cleansing but does not strip your hair down. I also like Pantene because it does not cause me to break out. I do wish that Pantene would make the shampoo and the shampoo and conditioner two in one bottles look a little more different. I frequently almost buy the wrong one. (So pay attention when you go to grab this real quick!) This is a good buy for the price and I frequently find coupons, which makes it even more attractive.

I have been using this product for years. I use it for a night cream when I want to give my skin a break. Occasionally I need a night where I hold off my multi product regime. This lotion feels really greasy and like it is never going to absorb when you first apply it. Then miraculously it sinks into your skin. I have never tried it in the daytime (no sunscreen). I also use this moisturizer on my body if my skin is feeling irritated. I find that this moisturizer does a great job of calming my skin when it is “freaking out” for whatever reason. (Ahh the joys of sensitive skin!) It is fragrance free but does not smell bad, which sometimes fragrance free products seem to have a more pungent scent than perfumed ones. While there are not many bells and whistles with this moisturizer it is a great basic product to have on hand.

I started using this at the recommendation of my dermatologist. She gave me a couple of sample tubes and I was hooked. I generally find that the higher SPF moisturizers break my skin out. (Not really sure what the science behind that is, but they tend to cause me issues). I find this product does a great job of moisturizing my skin, even in harsh conditions. I also found that it did help to even my skin tone. Nothing dramatic, but a definite lightening in spots. It can be a little greasy under makeup if you are not careful and us a little too much. I find that a little goes a long way with this product so a bottle will last you quite some time. All in all a great product for sensitive skin, between the SPF and the hyaluronic acid, it gives you quite some bank for the drugstore price.

I purchased the purple version of this. I was initially attracted to it because it did not come in an aerosol container and the plastic bottle is recyclable. I hate to throw away a ton of packaging for cosmetics. I found the scent to this product light and it did not cling to my skin for hours or days after shaving. I am generally sensitive to scent but also hate when something like a shave cream interferes with my perfume (the wrong mix of products can make you smell like cheap air freshener, ughh). This product did not do that! I found that it was a perfectly effective shave cream as well. I have super sensitive skin and the summer shaving routine can really wreak havoc on my skin. The cream rinsed off cleanly and left me with soft skin and no razor burn! All in all a good buy and perfectly effective shave cream.

I find this product gives a wonderful color. I am very pale and use this just where I would be sun-kissed if there were ever a time that I would look sun- kissed and not burnt. I use a very large brush to apply it. A little goes a long way with Warmth, so I find it is well worth the price as the little size will last you quite some time. I typically wear this over foundation but have also found that it looks quite pretty over just a bit of tinted moisturizer for a subtle “no I always look like this” look. I am a fan of Bare Minerals so the loose powder aspect of this product does not bother me, especially since they moved to the locking sifter. Given my light skin tone I generally have issues with bronzers giving me a very strange look. With this I get a little sun glow.

I love this product! I try to use is sparingly, even though my instinct is to cover every inch of visible skin in it. It just gives your skin the slightest, subtle glow. It is not sparkly or garish it almost looks like you are actually glowing. Totally worth the price!

I tried this product in the pink tint, instead of my normal Sally Hansen nail strengthener. I was impressed with the tint. It was natural but gave just a little pinky glow. Which I thought was a nice subtle change. I was not impressed with how quickly this chipped on my hands. By the end of the first day of wearing it I had chips in my nails and it was totally removing itself from my nails.

I have been using this product for quite some time. While I do not find it to have the most dramatic results: It is a refreshing product to use. The metal ball applicator is cool and feels great to tired eyes. I enjoy that the formula is light. It allows the product to dry quickly (so you are not waiting forever to put makeup on after application). The formula is also light enough that it allows my eye shadow to stay put, instead of puddling down. I find that it does de-puff for the day you apply; I did not find that I was less puffy in general over time. I find the light weight moisturizers good most of the time, but for extreme winter dryness I had to use a different eye cream. My mother also tried this and she enjoyed the cooling effects. I would recommend this for someone looking for a soothing light weight eyecream.
