Maybelline New York Dream Matte Mousse

nice and creamy

I hate the liquid foundations, I think they make your skin pasty. But i decided to try this, and really like it! Its really light and creamy, and if you get it blended right, it looks really natural and gives your skin a glow.

Aveda Hang Straight

really works!

This product is great for smoothing unruly hair! I have curly somewhat coarse hair and it really makes it smooth and has a nice smell. Not suggested for super fine hair tho, people with that sort of hair should try a gel not a cream.

Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus

does actaully whiten

These really do whiten your teeth, but they are kinda messy and I had to use a wet washcloth to get the majority of the goo off of my teeth. I had sensitivity at first too but it seemed to go away after a while. I I had the regular version the first time and it seemed to work well too, with less sensitivity so maybe try that?

Matrix Sleek.look Iron Smoother Hair Straightening Formula

good but use sparingly

This product has a nice smell and works well, but if you get to much it can make your hair stiff and hairspray-ish. Also, make sure to clean your flatiron (i use a cotton ball or something with hot water and then excess water squeezed out) after using it! It can build up and get gummy and then trying to flatiron like that feels like you are just scraping the ceramic tiles across your hair.

Conair Professional Ceramic Straightener w/2" Plates

ugh

I had this and hated it! Its bigger size makes it clunky and you cant get up close to your scalp, and i had the hear pulling problem too! It would break and rip my hair when it got caught under the ceramic part. I have thick hair and it didnt straighten it very well at all. Go for the paul mitchell ceramic flat iron, its the best ever!

Paul Mitchell Wax Works

Good for frizzies!

I use this when i flatiron my hair. First i flat iron, and then smear a little (pea sized) amount of the wax works on my hands and then over my hair from ends to roots. Start kinda lightly at first until you get the feel for it on your hands and then more firmly especially on the ends of your hair. THen i go over again really quick and lightly with my flat iron to smooth it out and it works great!

Maybelline New York Define-a-Lash Lengthening Washable Mascara

.love it!

I dont think its very fair that this product shows up as only a 3.5 rating cuz of the editor! I am forever trying different mascaras, but i have gotten this one three times in a row. I absolutely love it. It is a thinner formula but i think thats what makes it not clump, i just add two coats until i get my lashes nice and long. Great definition and length, doesnt smudge that easily either. I recommend this to everyone

Maybelline New York True Illusion Undetectable Concealer

awesome!

I originally used a different version of this but same brand and this is basically the same thing that i just got. It covers great and blends well so you cant even tell there was a blemish!

Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer

awesome for legs after shaving

In winter my skin gets so dry, so i slather this lotion on my legs and arms when i get out of the shower and it helps so much! Its not greasy at all, and doesnt have one of those lingering rose-powder scents a lot of lotions have that i hate, its just a nice clean smell.

Paul Mitchell The Conditioner

just right

This leave in conditioner made my hair smooth and soft, but the light gel didnt weight down my hair too much. I didnt notice the smell being masculine tho, it has a clean fresh salon-product smell.
