I like the lotion but I find it too watery. It's good for cold mornings when I'm in a hurry to get dressed. I can put this on and within a few minutes, I am able to put my tights on without worry that I will stick to them. This is not my go to product especially if I am a little ashy. Since it is so watery, I find myself having to use it more often to keep my skin hydrated. I think I'll skip this lotion and continue using Korres.

I have been looking for a facial scrub that would remove my dead skin cells. I have finally found one! I used this just as the directions said and geez! I had better looking skin in less than 10 minutes. I used it with my Clarisonic and it worked wonders. My skin did get a slight tingle from the gel, but it doesn’t have the abrasive little beads that the other scrubs have. I really cannot say anything bad about this gel. Try it, you might find that you really like it. The Nuance line is only sold at CVS. My suggestion for about $8 you can’t go wrong! Yes you might be able to find something a little cheaper but I don’t think you will find anything that comes close to this for less than $30.

Ladies this is a multi-tasking gel. Keyword gel. It will feel heavy for those with finer hair but it tames frizz. I love that I can use this and not worry about having to put on a heat protector. It already has it in the product. That makes it easier on my routine and my hair doesn't have so many products in it. Also I find that my curls have definition when I use this. It really does make my curls look great. I've had my curls look limp with other products. You will definitely like his if you are constantly straightening your hair. A big plus - it doesn't leave build up on brushes or my flat iron. I know it's a bit pricey but look at the clearance section at Ulta. There are always some great finds like this back there.

This was ok. I didn't particularly like that the blush started to fade after 15 min. I go for the no makeup makeup look. I really thought it would help my routine. Unfortunately, this disappeared minutes after applying it and it really washed out. You couldn't tell I had it on but for some reason it disappeared even with primer on. Back to searching for something that stays put.

My skin falls right in between light and medium and they actually have a shade for my complexion. I've used this in the spring and summer to lighten my foundation. I really like it, but you have to make sure you blend it because you can leave streaks.

This might have given me straighter hair for about 5 days, but it was so not worth the stench. I was a product tester for Allure and I have to say, this was one of the worst products that they have ever sent. I am so glad that I did not spend money on this product. The smell reminded me of the formaldehyde solution that they used to keep the Biology experiments in. Once I got past the smell, I had to keep the product on my hair for 20 minutes. I swear I should have just washed it out but I didn’t. I wanted to see why Allure was testing this product and since my curly hair can take the shape of a cotton ball, I decided to keep it in and see what would happen. My hair was less frizzy for about 5 days. However, I could not get the smell of the product out of my hair. It was bad enough that I actually sprayed my hair with perfume. (I usually start getting watery eyes with fragrance, but was willing to tolerate the watery eyes instead of the stinky hair!) All in all, I would say save your money and invest in some good hair care. It can be a drugstore brand or high end brand, it will all do the same thing, just DO NOT torture yourself with this product.

It really is a lightweight moisturizer. I suggest using this during the spring/summer months. It has a wonderful texture and during the summer is just enough to moisturize without leaving your skin feeling parched. I have been using it lately, since October, and I feel like I could use a bit more moisturizer on my skin. The reason for the 7 stars is that it only has SPF 15. I would give this a ten if it had a higher SPF and was a broad spectrum.

It has a soft scent. This is one of the best conditioners out there. I used to use Redken's Fresh Curls, but decided that this was exactly what I was looking for when it helped manage the frizz ball on my head, aka my hair. This has been a lifesaver when I don't have the time to put my leave-in conditioner, heat glide, and heat tamer on my hair. This conditioner is an A plus in my book! I know that this will help me and anyone else out there with hair like mine maintain touchable hair.

My hair stylist used this on me and made me love the product. I actually had to have it because of the amazing shine that my hair got with this product. Z (my stylist) told me to make sure that I only used a little as it could make my hair, or anyone's hair, look greasy. It really does give the most beautiful glassy shine to hair, kind of like when the sun hits the glass. Use this at the end of your styling routine, and make sure you are not going to be using any more heat styling appliances. It can make the gloss lose its shine. I would recommend about 3-4 drops (not quarter sized or anything else), just drops for short to chin length hair and 5-8 drops for medium to long hair. Make sure you are paying attention to the size of the drops; you really don't need a lot to make your hair shine!

I received this as a goody in a gift bag. This was one of the best things in the bag! I ended up using this instead of the Infusium 23 leave-on conditioner. I was so happy with the way this made my hair feel and look. Sometimes, leave-in conditioners have a really bad smell (to me), but I found this one was really nice. I was enjoying the scent and the way it made my curly hair feel. Also, as part of the Smooth Down line, there is a Heat Glide Protective Smoother and if you use those together, you have a wonderful combination that allows your hair to look its best. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with curly, frizzy, and fly-away hair. Make sure to snatch them up wherever you find them, they have been discontinued!!!!! :(
