Got2b Styltini Glazed Over 24 Hour Smoothing Creme Gel
Too much coconut smell-good if you like coconuts!
I was intrigued by this product as it was a hair cream and a styler in one. Most of the similar products I've tried like this are either too greassy and make your hair too stiff. The smoothing creme gel was ok and made my hair untangled and feel smoother- but I found I had to use a ton of this compared to other hair products. A couple things I did find annoying about this product was that there was way too much of a tropical coconut smell and you can not smell most perfumes you put on with this. Also, the pump bottle is not practical for travelling at all, so I will leave this at home in the bathroom. So, overall the styler was good and you might enjoy it more of you like coconut scents.

I bought this gel hoping to get something that did not make my hair stiff and leave it manageable. I already have curly hair so I did not notice any extra curling, but my hair was not weighted down- so this gel could also work on straignt hair to make it look nice. The smell was ok and not very strong. I did not t hink it smelled "bad" in any way- actually the small disapears after a little while. I could not see the "sparkles" in my hair as well. I would buy this gel again as it is good for the price you pay. There are a lot of bad cheap drugstore gels and also a lot of good salon ones and this one seems to be a middle of the road product!

I like this conditioner overall as it detangles my hair very well. I have dry curly hair and usually need to use about twice the amount of conditioner than shampoo- even with the salon ones. With Pantene I was able to use a bit less conditioner, but as another reviewer said it can make your hair look and feel greassy after 1 day or if you use too much. The smell is not overpowering as well, so you can still wear perfume while using this. Another good thing is that the conditioner is widely available- so if you happen to need some conditioner while away you can always expect Pantene to be the same and work well. The price for Pantene is also quite resonable too!

I overall liked this eye cream. I do not use heavy eye cream during the day so found this was good for me- esp in the spring and summer hot weather. I also have sensitive skin and had no problems with this eye cream. Now I did not notice any eye brightening effects or any reduction in dark circles- but for a general day eye creme I would buy this again as I have seen it sell for $10-15 and that is a very good price for an eye creme. Even some of the high end $90 priced eye cremes I could not use because they were too heavy and full of fragrance and left my eyes very red and chapped looking. So, just because this is a "drugstore" product does not mean it is crappy. It is also made in Europe (France) in case anyone is wondering.

You have to shake this eye makeup remover to get the oil and other cleansing solution to work together. Once you do that, grab a cotton pad and use just a little of this eye makeup remover and you will see even your waterproof makeup go bye-bye! The packaging is very convenient for travelling as the bottle is plastic. My only issue is the cost. It is almost $30 a bottle where I live and I can not justify buying 1 bottle every month. A good time to buy this item is when Lancome has a bonus because you then get to try a lot of their new items as well!

I was looking for a night creme for sensitive skin and find most other ones I tried were always too greassy and heavy feeling. I have only been using this one week so far and the night creme feels light and refreshing going on. If you have very dry or older skin you might want to try something with more oil in it. I did not notice much difference with my skin redness, but it did not get any worse at least.

I have very dry arms and legs and they get worse in the winter with the cold air and indoor heat. Whenever my skin feels tight and dry and I use this lotion- it feels like my skin is having a refreshing drink of water. I also like that it has no fragrance- so less to iritate my skin. Also the tube is very practical format for travelling and carrying around in your bag.

I have this lip balm is severak different flavours. (Honey Vanillla, Mint,). The lip balm has a nice taste and is not too heavy to use all day long. The flavors are quite noticeable and small very nice also. I like that there is a SPF 15 as most people tend to forget the smaller parts. Also the packaging is very convenient and an can easily be carried about without hassle.

This is another great product from Mavala. When I use the Colorfix over my nail polish- my nails always have a very high shine and people ask if I have gone to the salon. As well as helping maintain your nail color the Colorfix also protects your nail polish and it still looks very shiny over two weeks later. I am usually quite rough on my hands, so for something to last 2 weeks on my nails is amazing. I don't have anything really negative to say about this product- exept maybe I would like to see a larger bottle.

This version of the Mavala Scientifique nail hardener is great because it comes in a pen. I usually use the bottled one, but this would be much better for travelling or your makeup bag. Now, this is the best nail hardener I have ever used! The texture is like water when it comes out of the pen and you only apply it to your nail tips and it hardens them right away. Another bonus is that it is not a shiny product- so even a guy could use it and no one would ever know! The product size seems very small,but should easily last you 6 months. It is not like the "other" nail hardeners where you have to apply a coat every day. I thought this product was so good I even gave it to everyone I know for Chrismas and now all the people I gave it to will only use this product. *My only small issue is that it is a very hard product to find in the stores- so you are better off buying it online from one of the cosmetics websites.
