I bought the travel set with the shampoo, conditioner, silky dirt, conditioning balm and hairspray. I used them out one night when we stayed at a B&B and had the BEST hair night. Minus just ONE star because it didn't make all of my curls as uniform as I like and still had a bit of frizziness by the end of the night. Overall....GREAT PRODUCT line for curly girls who need to tame it down.

I do like this hand cream and its a good buy for the price but I've experienced MUCH more luxurious creams (Juara) that cost more but are worth it. I tried this because I do not want to be one of those people who take care of the face, forgetting the hands. They are a tell tale sign of your true age. It's a better than good lotion that absorbs quickly, but I wish it had #1...a much higher SPF...and #2 offered some sort of scent. I know a lot of people like scent free lotions (for understandable reasons) but I like to take in a BIG WHIF and I moisturize which gives me an inner lift as well. Just a light vanilla or almond or something would be nice. Recommend this as better than good but not as AMAZING as my Juara hand and body cream.

L'Oreal Paris Lineur Intense Brush Tip Liquid Eyeliner
L'Oreal...please don't ever stop making this liquid eyeliner!
I've used liquid eyeliner all of my makeup wearing days (20+ years) and always get distressed when I go to the store to replace my L'Oreal liquid liner and can't find it. I panic thinking they've finally stopped making it and then I find ONE last tube in my blackest black. I love it. Its the ONLY eyeliner (besides Urban Decay's 24/7 but even that smudges on my oily lids) that stays put almost the whole day. It does start to flake towards the end of the day but that is mostly because #1 I work 12 hour days and #2 by the end of the day I tend to rub my eyes. This product is wonderful and the price is great. I just a 16 hour hold to make it through the day.

I wanted to like this stuff SO much but it just didn't do a thing for me. I have thin lips so even a bit of a change is noticable (which I could see when I used Lip Fusion) and nothing, zilch, zip, nada. It was a lovely gloss and wasn't sticky on my lips but at this price point I'm paying for maximum pout and not just a glorified gloss. Hope it worked well for others...just not for me.

I adore this brush and bought it without hestitation or even before checking the price. The packagin is SUPER CUTE and feminine which I love (stands out among all of my BLACK brushes...YAWN), it fits perfectly in the palm of my hand for application, compacts well so as to not take up too much room in my purse and is SO SOFT...nothing I've found is softer. I find myself running over my skin and just daydreaming. I may even purchase one to hide for future use in case this one gets lost or stolen (most likely the latter!).

I love this tool because I am a self professed picker. And as such I've managed to damage my skin and cause some long term problems. You would think this is enough to make me stop picking at my skin but alas it is not. In comes the Tweezerman Skin tool and I'm saved. It helps me get the ick and gunk out of my pores that I CAN'T STAND to know is lurking there and does it without pinching or bruising my skin. I know its sick but those of you out there who are pickers will understand...and you will LOVE this too. Great product.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30
Easiest to use on top of my favorite body lotion...
I have recently discovered Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Body Mist SPF 45 sunscreen spray. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this stuff. I am fair and care greatly about protecting my skin. I love to indulge in yummy smelling lotions...but going back over them with smelly sunblock later RUINED the great scent. With this high SPF spray I can just spritz right over the top of my lotion, retaining the great lotion smell. It dries almost instantly, isn't tacky or sticky, doesn't rub off and I can even give a quick spritz over my face if needed without it ruining my makeup!! I will never again spend 15 minutes trying to reach every inch of my body to rub in smelly old sticky sunblock. I am IN LOVE with this light, airy and OH SO SPF'y creation! BONUS...for mothers with young children...this stuff works GREAT for quickly spraying down your child instead of spending 10 frustrating minutes trying to slather their little squirmy bodies with lotion that you have to rub in like crazy. With this you just SPRITZ and GO!!!!

I tell everyone I know about these little babies. Not only do they make my skin look radiant, but they're easily portable (just pop a few in your bad for a quick weekend)and replace 2 or 3 of my other skin care steps when I use them. I don't wear makeup on Sunday's to give my skin a rest (beauty tip from the incomparable Audrey Hepburn)and I love these for those days. They give my skin a subtle glow, even out my red areas, and keep my skin hydrated. My only suggestion...I wish they had an SPF because that would make them 100% EVERYTHING I could want for skin care on a lazy Sunday. My only complaint, they do not list ingredients which makes me nervous and leaves me wondering what they are hiding. As with all my reviews...the lack of one star is for the non-organic nature of the product. But sometimes science is what is is and natural can only go so far. Stock up on these...they may get hard to find! (CVS.com if you are looking to buy).

I recently discovered this GORGEOUSLY soft cleanser and immediately fell in love. I have never, ever in my life felt my skin be SO soft after just cleansing as I did with this. My skin was like velvet and I couldn't stop touching it (bad I know...but I couldn't help myself). My skin was so soft that I was reluctant to put on my night treatments and face cream. I completely adore this product and can't wait to see how this goes in terms of long term usage. My only complaint is that it isn't organic as I'm tring to steer away from parabens and such. If they could make it so this would be a 15 out of 10 product! Highly, highly recommend if you do not care about organic properties.

This is the perfect accompaniment to the toner. I love that you smooth it on then just wipe it off. It leaves my skin clean and super hydrated. If I've had a particularly oily day I will splash some lukewarm water on my face to remove a bit of the leftover moisturizer...but on regular days just following the instructions works well. This was a new concept for me and took some getting used to but my skin has never looked better. This wonderfully fragrant cleansing milk leaves your skin feeling refreshed and moisturized...never tight and stripped. It may be a little too "emollient" for those with oily skin but it works great on my combonation skin. My only complaint...I'm trying to go organic and I wish it was paraben free. If Decleor could do that it would be my cleansing milk for life.
