Dior Crayon Eyeliner

Good, but not exactly what I'm looking for

This was my first eyeliner I've purchased. I thought the packaging was great and that the sharpener was brilliant. At first, I thought I didn't need another pencil sharpener (my mum had one), but when i tried it - I couldn't eblieve how precise the cutting was. I could get a very fine pointed tip pencil, great for precision lining. As for the actual liner, I thought it was good at first. It had good staying power and good colour distribution. But at the end of the day, while the colour was still there, it smeared and smudged around my eyes to give me panda eyes. So it was good, but not my perfect liner.

ModelCo Bronze Airbrush Sun

Not easy to use and it gives orange skin!

I had seen good reviews about this product and thought I'd jump on the bandwagon to try this. It says to apply after shower and after exfolitating. So I did. I shaked, then sprayed only my legs. It didn't smell like a tanner at all. It was a nice smell but it was still very overpowering being a Aerosol. I found myself choking and gasping for air. The thing about this going on your skin invisible, I couldn't really tell where I had applied it. I thought I had sprayed all over quite evenly, but I guess not.. Because when I had gone to bed I woke up with orange streaks and orange spots. It was really really awful and unnatural. The following night I tried to learn from my mistake and remember where I had applied. I only wanted to apply it to the white spots that I had apparently missed but when I woke up the next day it was still the same!! I did this over the course of four days and then gave up. My ankles got really orange because as your spray it on, the products drips down to your ankles. It can be very messy. Plus, I got more and more orangy as I continuted to apply this, even though I was only applying it to the spots that were still white. And the smell the next morning? Awful. It is worse than a normal tanner.

Redken Extreme Conditioner

Saved my hair!

I've had my hair chemically straightened a couple of times now, I've had it dyed twice, I straighten it my GHD from time to time too.. As I'm sure you already know without even taking a look at my hair, that my hair is absolutely dead, frizzy and breaking at the ends every second of the day. I could never grow my hair as long as I wanted to, because it was always breaking and I was always cutting off the split ends. But a friend recommended me Redken Extreme Conditioner to apply to the ends. Leave on for 5 minutes (no more!) then rinse. I've been using Redken All Soft and while it's made my hair more manageable, it's nothing as good as Redken Extreme to say that it's saved my hair condition. My hair was instantly softer, stronger, shinier. I can feel it lengthening already. I've been using this about once a week (on the other days I've been using All Soft). You apparently have to be careful with this conditioner as it has known to have such powerful Proteins put into your hair that it'll cause breakage!! So I've been using this in moderation, supplying my hair with the much needed proteins. After three uses and I love my hair now. I owe it to this conditioner.
