I have thin, fine hair that I dyeblonde and blow dry and curl almost every day, so my hair get pretty damanged. My stylist suggested this product to help protect from heat and seal my damaged ends. I bought a bottle of this 3 months ago and after using it every day, I have noticed a huge improvement with my ends. They are much less damaged and aren't so "straw-like". My hair is a lot more shiny and soft, and to my surprise, feels thicker! I never thought I would get these types of results from an oil. It's pricey, so if you can splurge, I would reccomend this product.

I self tan almost daily, so I am always on the lookout for a great gradual tanner. This was under $5 for 20 oz, so I had to give it a try! I am not a fan of the smell, its too sweet for my taste, but I can get over it because I have been using this every day for three weeks and I have not had a streak or major breakout since. I have a natural brown hue and I have only seen the occasional blemish pop up. This is such a great value, I agree with other reviewers that this is the best gradual self tanner on the market. A lot of them are good color OR good moisture, this gives you both. It does not get a 10 only because I am not a fan of the scent. It does not have the typical self tan odor however.

I have very thin, fine hair, so I am always trying to add texture. This can add enough texture for me to create waves with my straightener, but I have to use so much product. It is inexpensive, but I just don't like dispensing that much product into my hair. I prefer products where a little goes a long way. For thicker hair types, this may be the case, but for my thin hair, a little of this product doesn't do much. On the Garnier website, a lot of people complained about the smell, but I acutally enjoy it. It smells like fig and kind of reminds me of the holidays. I will continue to use, but I am not sure I will re-purchase.

The only reason it does not get a 10 is because it tugs just a bit. I prefer a thin line to simply define my eyes and this product is just the right size - a lot of the drugstore brand eyeliners are too chubby for me to get the look I prefer. I have to go over the line maybe two or three times, but I like how it applies. It is not creamy at all, so if you prefer a "softer" eyeliner, this isn't for you. The staying power is truly impressive for the price. I have pretty oily lids and this has stayed true all day everytime I have used it.

I LOVE the way this applies and the even, odorless color this product provides. But I have pretty average skin, prone to break outs and a little dry. This product does not work as a moisturizer for me, even in the summer. My skin still looks and feels tight and dry, even just 15 minutes after application. I always end up applying another lotion over it by midday. If you don't need the moisture, this would be a good gradual self-tanner for you.

I have very fine, stick straight, super thin blonde hair. I have tried every product under the sun that promises beachy waves, and this product provides the best texture. I have come to terms with the fact that I will never achieve waves without a hot tool - I still have to swipe my straightener through sections to create actual waves, but they stay put when I use this product, and it helps me achieve the "messy" look, which is next to impossible with my hair. The smell is so beachy and fresh and lasts all day. I just put in on damp hair and blow dry. The texture I get is unbelievable and I can create styles that last.

I love getting a gel manicure, but I am not a fan of removing the gel or the price tag, so I am always looking for an alternative. This comes in fantastic colors (my favorite is Pocket Aces) and the top coat is incredible. If I take my time and do this right, I can get a mani that lasts about a week without cracks and chips. Two coats of the color (base is buit-in - bonus!) and one coat of the shiny top coat. It dries so fast, I can usually get all three done in about a half hour.

I was pleasantly surprised by the moisturization this product provided. It felt great, even at the end of the day. I have acne-prone skin and this did give me some minor breakouts. The color is pretty great, but I am a self-tan pro and I had some trouble keeping it even around my ankles and feet. I also think if I would have used this in the summer when I had a base tan, it would have been easier to keep even. This is inexpensive, so it would be worth it for someone who is not prone to breakouts. The self-tan smell is subtle but still present.

I start sweating the moment I get out of the shower, so I need something that will work hard all day. This is better than Secret's original deodorant and the waterproof version works best for me, but I still find myself sweaty and smelling not so great at the end of the day when I use any of the Secret Clinical Deodorants.

I have oily, acne-prone skin, which is usually controlled with any drugstore acne wash, spot treatment and a light moisturizer. Recently, though, I have been struggling with full-blown acne all over my forehead and cheeks. It has been a bit of a nightmare, because I am 26 and I also need to prevent aging. I splurged on the Adult Acne kit from Murad it did help to clear some existing acne, but after a few weeks, I was still struggling with some new breakouts. I will finish what I have left because it was pricey, but I will not be buying this again.
