Vaseline Lip Therapy Original

Besty for dry lips

I have tried all kinds of lip therapy for my dry, easily cracked lips. From burts beez to sephora brands. My biggest problem is that nothing lasts very long. It all just temporarily relieves the dryness but it always comes back with in 30 minutes to an hour. Continuously reapplying chap stick get's annoying. Then I discovered this tube of greatness. I agree it pretty much is just vaselline but I'm writing a review on this specific item. I enjoy the convenience of the small tube so I can reapply through out the day. I am also going to purchase the bigger container and try it on my dry heels as well. For anyone that is wanting a small, portable, long lasting chap stick I highly recommend this. And also, it isn't super sticky so you don't have to worry about it sticking your fingers together and since one application lasts for hours, you don't have to keep reapplying. :)

Schick Quattro for Women

Was hoping for more :(

All my friends use this razor and raved about it so I had to try it. I tried it after I hadn't shaved in a week so of course I thought it gave me a great, close shave and didn't cut my skin. But after trying to use it 2 days later before a lot of hair had grown back, I got REALLY bad razor burn and cuts all of my knees and close to my ankles...very painful and not attractive. I really like schick intuition. I have used that for years and will never try anything else again. I think it depends on the person though because a lot of people really enjoy this razor. As for me, not so much.

Schick Intuition Plus

BEST RAZOR HEADS

I have been using Intuition for 6 years and can not use anything else. All other razor heads do not give enough moisture and I end up with horrible razor burn. This razor head has a soapy lotion all the way around it and never cuts my skin. I especially love it for my under arms and bikini where I always got ingrown hairs with other razors. But this is so moisturizing and has so much soapy layer that I don't even feel the razor as I glide it across my skin. It is a genius idea. Yes, it is really expensive seeing as you can only use 1 razor head for 2 applications, but it's worth it to me so I don't get razor bumps every time after shaving. I recommend for people with sensitive, easily cut skin.

M.A.C. Pro Longwear Concealer

Good coverage, but drying

I bought this on a whim. I went to the mac counter to buy their amazing strobe liquid lotion. I also mentioned that I am needing a good under eye concealer that lasts through out the day. She immediately told me to use this and when she applied it at the counter I liked it. But when I got home I was really disappointed. I found it to be really thick and drying. And no matter how lightly you press on the pump the amount that comes out is too much so I always have to wash the rest off my finger which I feel is unnecessarily wasteful. It gave really good coverage though so I wore it any way and by the time I got home it looked so caked on...it was horrible. So the next morning I got my strobe liquid lotion and put a generous amount under my eye before applying this concealer and WOW what a difference. It looked perfect and natural and now really does last all day! The key is to use a moisturizer(don't be stingy with it) then just dab a very small amount of this concealer and blend. I get compliments all the time on how glowy my face looks. The strobe works as a highlighter as well and I guess combined with this concealer gives a radiant affect. I would definitely recommend.

L'Oreal Paris EverCrème Sulfate-Free Moisture System Cleansing Conditioner

Amazing concept, really works

I'll start off by listing the good things about this product: It really cleans your roots. It also conditions the ends. Helps tame frizz with out feeling greasy. Works just like a shampoo, I only have to wash my hair every 3 days. The clean feeling really does last. It's a huge time saver. The bottle has lasted me 3 months and still feels full. Can also use as a deep conditioner(it makes hair really smooth when left in for a whole day/night). Not a lot of other cleansing conditions out there. The only other one I know of is Macadamia Oil but it is really drying. Now I'm going to list the cons: I have to pump about 10 times in order to get enough out. The smell is a little too vanilla(which would be fine but this smell lasts all day). And that's about it. I researched the best ways to grow hair out fast and one of the answers I heard/read a lot was to not shampoo your hair, or at least not as often. The natural oils really help eliminate breaking. Evercreme isn't as harsh as shampoo so even after washing you still have your natural oils. Since I have started using this I can tell my hair is less damaged and it is finally growing. :)

Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

Amazing for dry cuticles on hands AND feet

I have been using this cuticle treatment every day for 2 weeks now and am really amazed. I wash my hands regularly through out the day and my cuticles get dry and start to peel and they just didn't look good. It really started to bother me so I started researching good cuticle creams and I found awesome reviews for this and solar oil(which I ordered online and should be getting any day now so will post another review on that) I thought the same thing as everyone else, that it feels really oily after first applying. But gave it not even 10 minutes and it completely went away and left my cuticles looking and feeling hydrated and best of all, no peeling. I have also used this on my toes before I reapply nail polish and they have never looked better. I will say that it doesn't last as long as I would like. I have to reapply after 2-3 hand washes to keep getting the results I want. Definitely recommend for those nurses and doctors out there who have to wash their hands a million times a day.

Infusium Repair and Renew Leave-In Treatment

Works amazing on beach/chemical/iron damaged hair!

I've been using this product for 3 years! I've tried using other leave in products, but I always come back to this product. I love taking this with me to the beach or the pooll I throw my hair over and scrunch my ends and I get amazing beachy waves. You leave it in all day and the next day your hair still has beautiful waves and feels/looks amazing and so sleek. I wish there were more prodcucts that worked like this!
