I've had this palette for a while and decided to use a quick swipe of the deep rose color. I used my finger, thinking it would be the easiest way, but it went on messy. The color did seem to be true and pure on my lid, but I did prime it with concealer and powder first, thinking that using a cream shadow would definitely crease in time. Which it definitely did. I got about four hours of wear before the color started to fade. Love the colors, but will only reach for this one occasionally.

I agree with luckybetty ~ this stuff is great, but seemingly only after your hands/nails/skin has been soaked in water. So I soak my nails in warm soapy water, allow the moisture to seep into my skin and then apply the cuticle remover. I do admit to leaving it on for longer than the 15 mins the directions instruct because it seems to work better this way, but no longer than 2 minutes tops. I push and gently scrape away the cuticles with an orange stick wrapped in a damp paper towel and they come off pretty easy. Love this stuff ~ leaves my nails clean, groomed and ready for polish.

I learned how to do my own French Manicure at home which was easy and looked good, but my weak nails would always break or split and I had to cut them back all the time. So I decided to try these after seeing a couple videos online that made them look great and reading a blog from a beauty editor that these were her dirty little beauty secret. I LOVE THESE! I got the ones in the Real Short length and had to file the sides of some of them to fit my nail beds. I used the glue In the package but have a few bubbles under a few nails due to it being my first time, but I filed the tips to my liking and they look really good and totally pro. Believable length and the mistakes aren't that noticeable. UPDATE: first time lasted 6 days before I could see my real nails growing out, but my nails grow really fast. Also, it was kind of annoying getting them off - soaked them in acetone and they melted off after about a half-hour for each hand. Just be sure to have a metal cuticle pusher to scrape off the remainder. Not sure now if I would use these all the time, because my nails do grow really fast and removing them was not fun. But they stayed on perfectly and NO CHIPPING, which was the best. I will use these often, just not all the time, to avoid weakening my nails with the removal process. Highly recommend!

This stuff stays on really, really well. I have it in Natural and it goes on smoothly. Best for a liner and not a fill-in color - at least this shade, in my experience, dried out my lips a bit. Solid product, but I prefer my Rimmel 1000 Kisses.

I bought this is in the colors Innocent (a nude) and Epic (a tawny brick). It goes on easily and feels creamy. I do find that Innocent tends to dry out my lips if I fill them in with it. But great product and great price!

I'm new to using lipliner and am officially hooked. I've been experimenting with that look of very full, plump lips and this lipliner is perfect. The colors are all very pretty but I use the color Mauve Shimmer. I do wish there was a more nude/natural color in this line, however. The consistency is creamy and the staying power is amazing. Great find that's inexpensive - love it!

After a horrifying dye incident that left my already thin, breakage-prone hair dry and brittle, a hairstylist recommended this to me and my hair has completely transformed. It's soft, silky and no longer feels like straw. This leave-in conditioner is light and soaks in beautifully, without a heavy build-up or greasy feel. Just don't put it on your roots! Start applying it about mid-shaft and you'll definitely see a difference in the texture and feel of your hair. It also smells amazing. Will definitely continue to buy and use!

Was looking to buy a different product, but they only had this and it was on sale, so I bought it. Ugh. I don't understand how this can be a leave-in conditioner when the consistency is soooo thick? It was thick and very gloopy as I put on a very small amount and combed it evenly through my thin, fairly straight, broken-ended damp hair and proceeded to blow-dry. The result was not good. I was hoping for soft, shiny, smooth hair but got heavy roots and dry ends, despite my even application. This is probably excellent for women with really curly, dry hair or thick hair but not for me.

Have been using this for about two weeks and it's the best heat protectant/smoother spray I've ever used! It's better than TRESemme's original heat protectant spray. My hair is amazingly soft, silky and smooth. Whatever is in this, IT WORKS. For the record, I have thin hair that is broken all over due to excess ponytail use and so it puffs up and frizzes out with each blowdry. With this, my hair lays flat and smooth and feels incredible. And it lasts all day. It worked so well, I bought the Keratin Smooth shampoo & conditioner too! Fantastic product and my new can't-be-without! PS: The smoothness won't last on a super-humid day. But I still love it.

Bought this on sale, as I do with most of my beauty products. First time using a dry shampoo so I have nothing to compare it to. This stuff comes out loudly and powerfully, my goodness! A roar and a puff, so be ready and don't get startled. This product smells very strongly of oranges and I'm not sure I care for it. But the fragrance doesn't cling to hair and goes away quickly. I used this on my day-old hair and it left it dry and somehow "thickened" and puffed out. I followed the directions, sprayed on roots and shook it out with my fingers, worked it in and then brushed it through. It did take away that oiled-down heaviness that you get if you've let your hair go a day or so. I'll keep using it - especially now that summer is here and my oil gland production has gone into overdrive. So at least my roots will appear a bit "drier". Oh, and I have long dark hair and there was no white residue or tell-tale signs, but I made sure to work it through my roots with both my fingertips AND a brush. Will use again, definitely.
