I really love this cleanser! I was visiting family & forgot to bring a cleanser my aunt let me use hers. I can't comment much on the anti-aging effects (I just turned 21 at the time of writing this) but I imagine it would help. I keep using it because it helps moisturize dry spots gradually & it has exfoliating beads that polish skin with continued use. It has a very light scent & is really gentle on skin. While it isn't advertised to do anything about breakouts, it seems to help treat pimples & old acne scars. I also notice less break-outs after using this for a few months.

When I was living in Los Angeles, this worked great! I mostly only used in in winter since heaters at work/school/home really dried dried out my skin, especially on my chin and around my nose. This worked really well to soothe painful dry spots and absorbed quickly without feeling heavy or greasy. I loved it. Then I moved to New Orleans & I had to stop using it. If you live in a humid area, this is going to feel really heavy, like it's not absorbing. It's now uncomfortable to wear! I still keep it on hand when I go visit family in California though, just in case!

These definitely don't have the longevity of something is MAC's false lashes but they last quite long given the price! They look really good on too. Since I have long lashes already, I usually get ones about my length or a little shorter since I just want to add volume so it actually looks very natural on me without using mascara to blend them in. The biggest plus though? They're really comfy to wear! I forget I have them on sometimes. If you take good care of them, they'll last for awhile.

I absolutely love this thing! It makes styling hair super easy & is much faster than using a separate brush and blow dryer without compromising style. The ceramic brushes ensure a frizz-free finish to your style. I have really long, thick, wavy hair that is annoying & time-consuming to style (there's just too much of it!). To style my hair with the regular brush and dryer takes around 30 or so minutes compared to around 10- 15 minutes with this. So besides for the lazy or busy, the design of this product would be perfect for anyone that has trouble using both arms to style their hair (have joint problems? Elderly? Crazy unwieldy hair?). Some great features: You get two detachable brushes that are easy to clean and the dryer has a release-button if you happen to get tangled. It's really convenient the way the temperature settings are set up too because you can go from hot to cool without a fuss to set your hairstyle. The blow-drying power is not the greatest, meaning that if you try to dry soaking wet, long, thick hair it's still going to take you a long time to style. I never use a blow-dryer until my hair is at least 70% dry (your hair is more prone to damage when wet) anyway so it's not an issue for me.

When I purchased Revlon's false lashes which came with these tweezers. I have my own trusty pair that but figured I'd give these a test since they were free anyway. Now I know why they were giving them away-- they aren't very good. They do pull out hair but the tweezer is heavy & the tip that grips the hair is actually quite thick which means if you have thin, fine, or really short hairs that you want to pluck, you'll be trying to get to them for awhile. Even if you have medium hair, it'll tend to break the hair & then you have the problem of trying to tweeze short, stubbly hair.

Okay so this is really just a styling aid. It doesn't do much in the way of actually cleansing hair, especially when you use it with the matching conditioner. It definitely weighs your hair down (weird for me because I've never had a shampoo weigh my hair down) which in turn makes it easier to straighten. Definitely not for everyday, cleansing use. I prefer the L'Oreal Ever Sleek line which doesn't weigh hair down.

Even with the curl enhancing conditioner this barely did anything for my hair which already has curl & wave to it. I've used better products for curly hair & some that didn't advertise to do anything special for curls. This did have good cleaning power that doesn't strip moisture, but it didn't do much for my frizz. I'm not factoring that detail much into my rating though since the only thing that seems to control frizz on me is using a sulfate free formula shampoo.

This one didn't really do much for me. The conditioning power was alright but nothing special. The texture enhancement was a let-down though. I already have wavy/ curly-when-it-feels-like-it hair but this didn't really do anything to really bring it out it. There was a little less frizz though & it was a lot less heavy than the conditioner designated for straight styles. Either way, I've used better curl defining products. Heck, I've had shampoos and conditioners that weren't for curly hair do a better job at bringing out the curls & swirls.

This definitely helps prep hair if you're going to do a straight style but don;t expect to walk out, air dry, & look like you totally flat-ironed; it's not a miracle worker, it's a styling aid. Also, I wouldn't use if everyday. I have thick wavy hair that would get really weighed down by this stuff because it was so thick and heavy. I think that contributes to another problem I have with this product: It doesn't leave my hair feeling as clean as I like. When I was using this I felt like I needed to wash my hair everyday when I usually shampoo every other day, it just felt like a lot of build-up. I prefer L'Oreal's Ever Sleek line to this because it's a lot lighter.

This product was pretty forgettable for me. It wasn't an amazing conditioner, but it wasn't bad either. I didn't really notice any significant softening but I didn't have any ugly snarls or tangles after using it so there was that. It didn't really do much to enhance my curls or waves though.
