Redken Ringlet 07 Curl Perfecting Lotion

Just ok

I used this product for a whole bottle's worth, but it never really did anything spectacular for my hair. I have fine curly hair, and a lot of it, and it didn't wiegh it down, but it also didn't really do a lot of anything else either. It did make it slightly more shiny and conditioned looking, but it didn't do a lot to last all day and keep my curls defined. If I had limited options this product would do, but since I can move on to better things I will. I usually love Redken too, but I'll stick with Soft Curls spray for my hair.

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Dream Curls Curl Perfecting Spray

Leaves my hair dry and doesn't help define my curls at all

I tried this thinking I'd find a cheaper alternative to Redken Soft Curls. I like the spray option so I can touch up between washing and styling and refresh my curls, but this product did nothing for my hair except leave it dry and slightly frizzy. There was no shine and no curl definition for me. Just crunch dry hair. I've tried it several times over the past few months, hoping to love it, but nothing has helped. I even use my favorite leave-in conditioner before this product and it doesn't help at all. I am actually going to toss the rest of the bottle and move on to something that actually works.

Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Antioxidant Lip Colour

Makes my lips feel great, but a little sticky

I really like Clinique products, and this one is no exception. I do wish that it was not so sticky though. The stickiness gives it great staying power however, so I can live with it. I love the colors and the way it makes my lips feel. It really does a good job of making you lips soft and feel great...if only it weren't so dang sticky...

Philip B. Lovin' Leave-In Conditioner

Good product

I love the smell and that is doesn't weight down my fine hair. It keeps it soft and makes a slightly noticable difference in how my hair looks and feels. Exactly what I was looking for.

David Babaii for Wild Aid David Babaii for WildAid Bohemian Beach Spray

Great stuff, especially for the price!

It only takes a few sprays, but it helps my fine hair get some needed texture. If you use too much it gets dry and funky, but it is sea salt spray. If you use just a little it does wonderful things for my hair. I also use a leave in conditioner before using this or any product, and maybe that helps with the dryness too. Love the beachy smell too!

Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Washable Mascara

I'm hooked!

Granted, I do think the smell is a little funky, but I tend to think that about most mascaras, so I wasn't shocked there. Despite the smell, I love this stuff. It made my lashes long and silky, adding very noticable length (my boyfriend noticed the difference and complemented me on it, that's how big the difference is). It goes on easily in just a few coats, but will get clumpy if you let the first coat fully dry. I did that while attending to something else between coats and came back to find the stuff just didn't work the same if you let it dry in between. I love the old school movie star look I get from this stuff! Wide eyed and long lashed! If you are looking for a volumizing mascara though, this is not it. It doesn't do really anything for width, just length.
