Matrix Biolage Colorcaretherapie Color Care Conditioner

Ehh...

My hair looks normal when using this conditioner. It smells nice too, but my scalp doesn't like it. I get a weird itch half way through the day. I can use this intermittently with a scalp-friendly conditioner, but definitely can't be my every day conditioner. It's sad because it's not a cheap one and I can't use it very much. As for color preservation, I can't use it enough to give a good answer on that. I have a weirdly sensitive scalp, that just doesn't like some conditioners and I'm still trying to figure out which ingredient it is. I would say this Biolage has it in a small quantity, as it was only mildly irritating.

Maybelline New York Volum' Express Pumped Up! Colossal Mascara

My current fave

"I love your eyelash extensions!" That's what I keep hearing. And I keep telling everyone, it's Maybelline Pumped Up in the pink tube. I've been asked if I'm doing the new fiber lashes by Younique, as well. Again, I just tell them, it's maybelline. I even had a lady in Ulta stop me, and couldn't believe it was Maybelline and not an expensive brand. This mascara will hold up under all day wear without flaking off. Goes on well without clumps, but if you really start to layer it, of course it will get some clumps then. It's an impressive mascara, that any lash lover should try. I've done side by sides with Pumped Up to the "They're real" by Benefit, and Maybelline was by far better. I grew up only buying & wearing the department store brands, but then a girl at a party in college (who looked just like Kat Dennings) bumped into me with the most amazing eye lashes. I barely learned her name before asking her what her eyelash secret was and she said she had just started using Maybelline Volum'Express Colossal mascara. The next day, I went out and bought myself a tube of Maybelline Colossal (another Volum' Express mascaras), and have been getting compliments ever since. Colossal is a good one if you haven't tried it, but Pumped Up takes it up a few notches for mega volume, that makes everyone jealous. For those who have a hatred of clumps, you might want to try the other pink Maybelline Volum' Express-- One by One. It's amazing too!

L'Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care System Moisture Shampoo

Sulfate free, and love the price

I have a weirdly finicky scalp. Even after using selsun blue or t-sal I can still have an itchy scalp. Well I read up on sulfates and hair care, and decided I'd give the sulfate-free thing a try and wanted to not commit too much money to my new hair adventure. So I bought this, and I'm loving it. As some one who typically buys really expensive hair products, I couldn't be more impressed with this budget-friendly find. It doesn't irritate my scalp, I haven't had weird build up. It's not causing my hair to get overly oily, and it smells nice.

Bumble and bumble Mending Conditioner

Love this!

I have a lot of hair, but it's fine, baby soft, frizzes easily, hates the winter, and long. I love my hair, but it can be a challenge. This conditioner really helps put in moisture during the colder months without weighing it down as so many others do. The only I don't love is the price tag. My hair can hold volume while being smooth on this conditioner, something I usually have a bit of a trade off with others. I also have weirdly sensitive skin, and this doesn't bother my scalp. A+ in my book

Dove Intensive Repair Conditioner

Backne

This product gave me back-acne all the way down to my butt. I didn't want to believe that it was the conditioner, but as soon as I stopped using it, my back returned to the smooth skin, pimple-free region it was pre-dove conditioner. I'm in my 30s, not a teenager, so I never expected a conditioner could do that to me... but it did. I had to use it a few months after I had stopped as I was out of my other conditioner. One use, and I had a huge pimple on my back soon thereafter.
