This serum feels much more oily than others I've tried, so I really can't recommend it for fine hair - too much, and your hair looks like oil city. Not good at all. It smells good, but didn't do a whole lot for my coarse, dry, frizzy hair. It tamed frizz a little and added some shine, but my hair gets greasy very quickly after. I usually have to end up re-washing sooner, so it's not worth the trouble in the end.

I hate wearing lipstick, but I adore MAC Slimshine! They hardly feel like lipstick at all, but give the same beautiful finish that is shiny and lustrous. It feels slick and light on the lips, very creamy, but stays on for a long time! I even had quite a bit left after eating and drinking. The colors are wonderful and beautiful, and my only complaint is that I found them just a little drying after wearing all day - try a balm underneath, though, and I'm sure it will help. A fantastic MAC lip product!

This affordable, nicely scented volumizing conditioner is tailored to blonds, both light and dark, with finer hair. Used with the volumizing rinse-out treatment, I noticed my hair felt fuller and a little thicker when styled. On its own, I'm not sure how much good it will do, but it can't hurt - it's a very thick, creamy conditioner that makes my hair softer, shinier, and more manageable as well.

I've only used this product a few times - both on wet and dry hair - and while it's nothing amazing, it seems to help maintain frizz a bit, add a little shine, and help detangle wet hair like it says. I might not be seeing a huge difference because I'm on the darker blond side, but it does seem to reflect a little more light when dry and styled. I'm not entirely sure if it's this product or the shampoos and conditioners, though - hard to say. Maybe give it a try and see what it does for you, especially if you have colored light blond hair.

The only thing that isn't to love about these glosses, IMO, is that they don't last long enough! Otherwise, I love them - for one, they smell and taste fruity and delicious. They're slick, like the name implies, and look very shiny without being thick or sticky at all. The color and flavor selection is great, and I like to keep one or two in my purse so I can pick a different flavor depending on my mood. They're really fun, and some have very subtle color, which is surprising - they look fairly pigmented in the tube. Lemon and papaya look very bright in the packaging, for instance, but are almost sheer with some colored shimmer. Very pretty, very fruity! Great job, CoverGirl!

I'm such a huge fan of lip products, but honestly didn't expect much from the re-launched Tendertones - they didn't seem too special. However, I was proven wrong upon my first test of the product. Wow! It really delivers - a silky-smooth texture, SPF protection, and gorgeous, sheer, shimmery colors. I wish I could buy them all; some are subtle enough for everyday, like running errands, school, or work; the others are darker and bolder, perfect for a night out. There's a shade for every occasion. The light fruity flavor is another nice plus. These are truly lovely products, though not totally affordable for the average shopper. Otherwise a fantastic lip balm!

Like it says, this is a nice product. I'm not sure it's worth the money, though. My pores have been looking a bit less defined lately, but I can't say for sure whether it's the scrub or my other product. The beads in this are so small and far between that there isn't much exfoliation happening. However, the silky texture is wonderful, and it has a very pretty smell that I love. :) It cleans well and might brighten a bit - but pore redefining? Not sure about that yet.

This is the first product from philosophy I've tried, by recommendation of a saleswoman at Sephora. It seems like a fairly effective, gentle scrub you can use daily, but it certainly isn't the strongest exfoliant I've tried. It has no fragrance, which is a little unpleasant, but prevents unnecessary irritation. The consistency is a liquid with a high volume of very fine exfoliants to gently buff away dull, dead skin and dryness. Someone below mentioned getting similar results using baking soda and water - I don't doubt that's true. The formulation doesn't seem to be anything incredible or ground-breaking, so I don't think I would purchase a full size of this product for the high price. It does a good job of leaving skin clean and soft, but is nowhere near comparable to real microdermabrasion, I hate to say. Still, a nice product overall, but a little hyped and too expensive for my tastes. I can achieve similar results for cheaper.

These nail art stickers are adorable - I really enjoy dressing up an otherwise ordinary manicure or French mani with them. You get a decent amount of stickers for a relatively small price, but a large variety of stickers seems hard to find. They seem to stick well and look great under a clear polish. The nail art I bought had white and purple flowers and petals, and the stickers all had rhinestones and/or glitter - very cute, very fun. A bit more mature than a lot of other nail art that looks like it was designed for little girls, too.

I love these files - they're available in many different fun designs and grits, and I've found they're great for my natural nails. The result is always very smooth, and the files with finer grits are great for delicate shaping work. They seem to last a long time, too. Another great plus - they're very affordable! Glass files are still better for nails, but these are the only cardboard files I'd buy these days.
