I live in an area with a dinky shopping center - no Sephora, no Ulta, no outlets, nothing. I get items online, and sometimes when you can't browse a store you miss a lot of amazing products. Such is the case with this amazing conditioner. I received some samples and I adore what it does to my lifeless hair. Just after one use I was loving the volume it created. I just don't have the words to describe my hair after using this, but here goes: soft, silky, bouncy, easy to style, lift, shine, actually HELD a style, husband noticed difference ;) I am metering out my sample packet supply until I get my online order.

I love this cream for winter use. There is nary a dry spot in sight. It is so thick and rich that it is almost like butter. It absorbs well and pretty quickly for me (skin is wicked dry due to thyroid meds). I like to sit mine in a bowl or sink of hot water for a few minutes. I stick it in a plastic bag and squeeze all the air out, then I let it float for about five minutes. It warms it up without making the lotion runny, and does it ever feel good on chilly nights! I have also become addicted to their blood orange + white pepper lotion.

My big issue with this lotion is how little it absorbed especially considering how dry my skin is. Most other lotions are absorbed before I am even done putting on lotion. This particular Curel just sat on the top of my skin. I waited about ten minuted to put clothes on, but it still was like I had just put it on. A friend was visiting and I had her try it, and it worked great for her. Not sure why, but this one just didn't work with my skin. Maybe it was too dry??? The scent was nice and the weight of the lotion was good. On to the next brand!

I received a deluxe sample size from Sephora. Living in southern Georgia, it's hard to find a product that will control shine all day. Well, this one does it, but I have never struggled so hard to apply a product! I thought maybe the product was bad until I read other reviews before I first used it. It is unbelievably thick and dries really quickly so you have to be fast when putting it on. It does control shine all day though. My makeup stayed in place and I was shine free. The price is a bit much, but this may be just a summer purchase when my skin gets oilier. Once you get past the feel of it, it really is a good oil fighter.

I have used Phisoderm on and off over the years, and at one time or another I have come back to this cleanser. I don't like cleansers that feel like they are taking off the top layer of your skin, nor do I like cleansers that require you to wash with another product to make sure you get rid of all the dirt and makeup. This one is happily in the middle and you can't beat the price. I tend to switch up my facial cleansers once or twice a year after they seem to not work as well. I use this for about a month and when I go back to my other cleansers they seem to work as well as when I first started using them. I don't know if skin can get used to a particular product, but Phisoderm cream cleanser for sensitive skin makes a nice "holiday" for my skin.

I got a zillion of the little sample packets (I won in an online auction from you know where) and have been using for about two months now. After the first few applications on my face, neck and decollete, I noticed that my skin was peeling off, like after a sunburn. It only did it once, after about the fifth application, but since then, my skin has been in wonderful shape. Even the neck wrinkles are getting better! The whole peeling thing threw me a bit, but now I think it was just the dead layer of skin that was dulling up my complexion. I have noticed that it is brighter with smaller pores and my former fine lines are just that - former. I think I will have to make the splurge when my samples run out in about a month or so. I follow this up with a lotion and my skin has never, ever looked better.

I am a big fan of this mascara. It goes on without clumping (a huge plus for me) and with each swipe my lashes get longer and thicker but never clump. My tube isn't waterproof, but with the staying power it has I would swear that it was. I live in southern Georgia where waterproof/sweatproof anything is an absolute must. I like this mascara in particular because you don't have to use a primer with it to really build up your lashes - this does it on its own.

I was a little bummed that this didn't do much to brighten under my eyes. My circles aren't very dark, but this did nothing to cover them, brighten them, or disguise them. The formula was a bit on the runny side (I tried from a sample size I received) and seem to stick more to the brush than my skin. I ended up resorting to my $3.00 elf Studio under eye product to do the job. I am glad I was able to try this out before buying it, because I love the Smashbox primer.

I think I started using this somewhere back in high school many many moons ago... and it is still the best body oil I have ever come across. It never leaves skin feeling greasy and you don't have to worry about smelling like baby products. I can always tell when I forget to use this after a shower because by the end of the day my skin is already dry and itchy. If they made travel sizes of this product, I would be in soft skin heaven.

I got this when All You had a coupon for BOGO. I am not pleased with the performance at all. The new brush is great, but the polish itself was a very weird consistency. It was thick and started to dry before I even had the polish on the nail. Finishing each nail was a bit of a task. The first swipe of polish was already drying when I put down the second swipe, so the second swipe would mess up the first. The drying top layer of the polish would grab onto the brush and ended up getting clumpy and streaky. I thought it might be a bad bottle, so I tried the other but the same thing happened. While I am glad that the product does live up to its name and dries instantly, for me it dried much to quick to do a decent job without a ton of extra work. I will stick with the old formula for now.
