This is a good waterproof mascara, but not the best. What I liked about it was that it did not dry out my lashes and when I removed it with my make-up remover, there were almost no lashes lost! That was impressive; especially for waterproof. It is also a really good lengthening mascara and almost NO clumps, and no flaking. However, I didn't find it quite waterproof enough. I really like Maybelline mascaras and have been stuck on Colossal Volume. With summer coming and the humidity, I decided to switch to a waterproof version and the reviews on this one are pretty good. The first day I had it on I had a small emotional meltdown after a bad day at work! They weren't huge tears, and I wasn't sobbing, but I did have the sniffles and a few tears. When I looked in the mirror, there was black mascara debris under my eyes. I was so surprised! I have worn it since then and it seems to work well for the day to day things, but I wouldn't try it in water or at a wedding or funeral. It's not bad, I do like it, but wish it truly was "waterproof."

I am so surprised not to see any reviews on this shampoo! I have been suffering with dandruff and scalp dermatitis since I was a teenager, about 18 years or so. Over the years, I have tried T-Gel, Head & Shoulders, Selsun Blue, Aveda Scalp Remedy, among many others. I always come back to Nizoral. I tend to get "breakouts" or "flares" for a time period, then it goes away. But what really keeps it away is when I am using my Nizoral. It is a bit pricey, about $10-$15 a bottle, depending on the size, but if it works, it works! Nizoral also has a 2% formula that is prescription only. I haven't tried it, but with insurance it may be even cheaper than the over the counter version. It has a nice lather, non-offensive smell, and you don't have to let it sit on your head for any length of time. Right or wrong, I love lather in a shampoo and always wash my hair twice before conditioning. I usually use the Nizoral, then my Joico shampoo and Joico conditioner. It works out perfectly and keeps my scalp comfortable and balanced. I would definitely recommend!

I am loving this mascara; much better than CG's LashBlast. It's all in the brush. The only complaint I have is that by the end of the day, I sometimes have a few flakes. It kind of goes with the territory though with a mascara that is going to really pump up the volume, and this one definitely delivers. As far as drugstore mascaras go, I really like Maybelline.

This product is a must for any beauty junkie, especially those on a budget! This product is so versatile. I have used it on my lips (especially at night), under my eyes, on elbows, to take make-up off, around my cuticles, around my hairline when coloring.... The list goes on and on! It is ridiculous how many things Vaseline can be used for. If I was stranded on a dessert island, I would have Vaseline and mascara. Everything else is optional.

My hair is long, thick and a bit coarse. I also experience more breakage than I care for, and have to be super careful and make sure I am using the right products, and that includes hair accessories. These are the perfect little hairbands. They don't pull or tug, never lose shape and when I pull them out, I might have one or two hairs that come off with it. That is all. It holds my pony in place, even with my heavy hair. These are my all time favorite hairbands.

I am still on the fence about thermal protection sprays. It is one of those products that you really don't KNOW for sure if it is actually working. With hairspray, you see the volume and your hair stays in place; with serum, you see the shine and smoothness, etc. You get the point! :) With this one, I just couldn't tell. My hair is about the same if I use it and if I don't. So much the same that in fact, half the time I just forget about it. It is a very "forgettable" product; nothing special. Some commented on the smell, but I didn't find it offensive. It also detangles, but as far as protecting my hair, I am just going to have to trust Tresemme. More than likely, I will not be buying a heat protector again. I don't straighten or curl my hair; only blowdry 3x a week. I think a good conditioner is sufficient enough for people like me.

This is the yummiest body oil, but the price was a bit much and I find myself "saving" it! If I recall, it was around $8. I absolutely love the sesame smell of this oil. Many of the reviewers use this in the winter, but I tend to use it in the spring and summer. It is a very light oil; not greasy at all, but it isn't moisturizing for me as much as a nice body cream or lotion is, at least not for dry winter skin. I also wish it had a pump; sometimes it can make an oily mess when pouring and applying. But the smell alone is divine. :)

I just completed a review on the conditioner, which I love even more! The shampoo is great, too. The smell is nice, it lathers well and left my hair tangle free, even before the conditioner. This one is definitely a keeper! My stylist gave me some samples to try to combat the dryness I have been experiencing for awhile, partly due to overprocessing. This shampoo is one of the best. It left my hair, clean, shiny and soft. Can't beat that! I also liked that on the bottle it specified for "unmanageable color-treated hair." I have never seen a product tackle both of these issues. Highly recommend.

Okay - one more time, WOW. I absolutely love this conditioner, so much in fact, I had to race to my laptop to tell you guys about it! My hair has been super dry for a long time. I went to a "school" to get highlights to save money, and they ended up frying my hair. My locks are also long, thick and a bit coarse. I visited my hairstylist this past weekend to complain of the dryness, and we took a few more inches off. She then gave me some samples of the Super Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner. The conditioner is just the best! What I immediately liked about it was that on the bottle, it stated for "Unmanageable color treated hair." I have never heard of a product that is specifically targeted for both issues; that drew me right in. The conditioner was thick and creamy, had a nice fragrance and get this - no more spray detangler! Whoop whoop. For those of us girls with long hair, I am sure you can completely understand. Needless to say, I had very good luck with this product and would highly recommend it. As a side note, Ulta sells these in the little travel bottles so you can "try before you buy." Give it a shot!

I have been using this product for at least ten years. I purchase the color Cutie almost every summer; it is universally flattering and looks so good with a tan from a can! However, I wouldn't call this a "lip gloss" as it is categorized, but rather an "almost lipstick." It is too dry to be a balm, not shiny or glossy like a lip gloss, but more sheer than a lipstick. However, it is such a versatile product! If you're looking for moisture, just put a balm under it. If you're looking for fuller color, add a lip liner. It is such an easy product to work with. The only thing I would change is to add a SPF and more moisturizing properties; it can be a little drying. I would also make it fragrance-free, though it doesn't deter me from using it. All in all, I am going to keep on using! :)
