Benefit Cosmetics Bathina Shower Cap

I ordered two of these based on the reviews, expecting that it would be larger than the average shower cap. It's definitely cuter than the average, but if you have a big head and big hair (I have both) it's too small. I'm returning these and going back to my seriously bouffant (if cute-challenged), over-sized cap. It's just plastic, but it doesn't squash my hair. read more..

Carol's Daughter Lisa's Hair Elixir

I decided to try using Carol Daughter's products to incorporate more natural products into my lifestyle. I ordered the Tui Smoothie, the Hair Balm, the Hair Milk, The Tui Leave In Conditioner and Lisa's Hair Elixir.

The Tui Smoothie does not hold up to the high and positive reviews. Dove's Moisturizing Conditioners work better. I have been using Dove Intense Moisturizing Shampoos and read more..

Dior Diorshow Mascara

I was hesitant to review because I couldn't say very positive things about Dior's Mascara. I was looking for something really out of the ordinary and had never tried mascara that didn't come from Wal-Mart or as a freebie in a gift collection. I thought I would try Dior's mascara and see if the extra money was worth it. Well, it wasn't. I can't even say it's the same as the Revlon I was using o read more..

Phyto Phytospecific Phytorelaxer Index 1 - Delicate/ Thin Hair

I used this product on my daughters' curly fine hair and the product did not soften the curls at all. read more..

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion (1 oz)

I'm not really sure what all the hype is about with this product, but I'm happy that it turned me on to the brand. The Mario Badescu buffering lotion, drying cream, acne cleanser, and special c clearing lotion were very effective. I also like that the formulas are simple without a lot of extra added chemicals. Although this particular product didn't work for me, a bunch of his other products ha read more..

Avon BEYOND COLOR Radiant Lifting Concealer

I purchased this concealer based on the good review from the mag but I didn't think it made much of a difference at all! 2 stars is generous. I have natural dark under eye area and am fair skinned so I've had to use concealer for years & this one just didn't do much to lighten the area. Will not purchase it again. read more..

Estee Lauder MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara 02 Brown

This color of mascara has been discontinued by Estee Lauder about a year ago. The mascara was great, when purchased new. I knew better than to purchase it, knowing it was old stock, but took a chance because I loved this color and brand of mascara. Sure enough, it was kind of dried up, just due to being old stock. My bad, for knowingly purchasing old stock and Estee Lauder's bad for discontinuing read more..

ERA FACE Spray On Foundation

After years of being addicted to What Not to Wear and Googling what Carmindy uses on the show, I finally took the sixty-dollar plunge after all the rave reviews.
I am disappointed in the product. Spraying it onto a sponge to apply it (like Carmindy does) takes forever, wastes product, and doesn't cover well at all. Using it as the directions recommend (zigzag spray 6-8 inches from face for read more..

Kerastase Nutritive Masquintense Epais (Thick, Coarse Hair)

After using Kerastase Nutritive Masquintense I didn't get the result that I thought I would get, I guess I was looking for a miracle, but my hair was still frizzy and wavy instead of curly. It did a nice job of conditioning but I think that Redken's Smooth Down Butter Treat does just as well and is a fraction of the price. I also found the scent to be really strong and it ended up giving me a h read more..

Avon SKIN SO SOFT Original Bath Oil - 24 fl. oz.

I've used Avon products off and on for years and I have to admit I have tried Skin So Soft on more than one occasion. I tried using less and less in each bath but the truth is that it is too oily for my skin. I love the smell of it but even when using a tiny amount in a full bath I feel like I just bathed in an oil slick. It also clogged my pores and I ended up with pimples on my back and thighs. read more..

MD Formulations - Moisture Defense Antioxidant Creme - 1.7 oz

I have used this creme since december 2007. At the begining I was very pleased, its really making you skin smooth. But 2 month ago I got rash around of my mouth. I stopped using MD Formulation products and its started to dissapeared, I still have some om my face. I'm very disappointment,because i bought more product of MD Formulation and it's not cheap: MD Formulations - Facial Cleanser - 8.3 oz, read more..

OPI Nail Polish OP-I Love This Color

Madeleine Mono Hand & Cuticle Repair Cream

I like the packaging. I like the way the cream feels on my hands. I've only been using it a few days so I can't comment on whether or not it's helping with the cuticles. But, I will say this, the smell is a little tricky. It goes on smelling almost like grapefruit but almost instantaneously it begins smelling like something from the bottom of the ocean floor. read more..

Caesars Man by Caesars 4.0 oz Legendary Cologne Spray

The scent of Caesar's Man Cologne doesn't last . Every time I smell it on someone else it smells real good . Every time I use it, the scent doesn't last. I would have expected that from an after shave but not from a cologne. read more..

Japanese Soft Massaging Face Cleansing Brush by KAI

Brush has very soft bristles; maybe too soft. The handle is too short and it is awkward using the brush because of this. Prompt delivery. read more..

Avon Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips

This is what I said about their pedi product. Same goes for the mani:

I purchased these instant pedi sets thinking I would save time, and prevent getting dents or smears seeing as the instant pedicure is already dried.
Applying the instant strips however is no easy task. Followed instructions, and yes, they can look good but:
* the product easily tears at the tip (lookin read more..

philosophy amazing grace perfumed shampoo, bath, and shower gel

This item costs way too much and for it to smell so light is truly a disappointment. I was expecting more from something so expensive. I don't know if I am going to get this again-- maybe, who knows? read more..

Votivo Aromatic Poured Candle 50 Hours

I bought two of these candles because of the reviews. I was expecting too much. I bought the deep clover one and the clean crisp white. While they smelled nice the smell wasnt as strong as I expected. I live in a tiny condo and the only time I could smell anything from these candles was when I walked past them. I've had much better luck with a cheaper candle from department stores. Even yankee read more..

NeoCeuticals Acne Spot Treatment Gel 0.5 oz

I bought it because I love the brand but I expected it to be at least as good as Neutrogena on the spot and I saw no results at all. read more..

Vegetable Belt Scrubber

It looks like a good idea, but really isn't. Get a brush with a long handle. The brush is more versatile, and easy to maintain. This thing isn't convenient to store, and I found it a little too abrasive. I like my bath brush and sea sponge so much better than this thing. read more..

Avon ULTRA COLOR RICH Lipstick

I was really excited to get my first coral-colored lipstick. But when I tried it on, it was very dry and cakey. It made little clumps. It looked nice after I used clear gloss over the lipstick. read more..

Mistral Hand Cream Box in 9 Scents, 2.54 fl oz

I really like the green fig soap, but the accompanying lotion does not smell as good. All I could smell was green peppers and celery. I will continue to purchase the soap, but the lotion is not for me. read more..

Avon GLIMMERSTICKS Eye Liner Blackest Black

I bought this for the convenience of not having to sharpen. I have a similar product from Clinique, but this pales in comparison. This eyeliner was too dry. The color didn't apply well so it wasn't dark enough. Even if I use more pressure, it results don't improve. Liquid eyeliner is better than this. Otherwise, if you opt for a pencil, get the kind that you have to sharpen. read more..

Avon Haiku Body Lotion

The Haiku body lotion smells good and that's about it. I brought a tube to work to keep in my desk drawer and use on my hands. However, it makes my hands feel dry. When I use the lotion, my hands don't look dry but they definitely feel as though they need more moisture. I think maybe it's the silica that's listed as an ingredient. A popular learning site says that "silica is most commonly found in read more..

France Luxe 1/ 2" Ultra Comfort Headband - Classic

I love the look of this headband. The colors and patterns are beautiful and unusual. It is very comfortable as well. The only difficulty is that the plastic relaxes. The second day I wore it the headband fell off when I turned my head. Not exactly the look I was going for. I have found that I can curl it up and put it in the bag they sent my hair combs in and it will return to it's former sh read more..

CoverBlend Multi Function Concealer-SPF 15 - 0.5 oz

I have yet to find a concealer that I am happy with. I have really dark under eye circles and this does camouflage them somewhat, but not how I had hoped. Instead of covering them, it seems to change their shade. Kind of like as if I were painting and rubbed white paint on a black spot, turning it grey. Get what I mean? It also looks really CAKEY! It could be because I have really dry skin, but no read more..
