This is a rich, shea butter infuse body cream that has the divine citrus sugar scent. Love it & will repurchase.

I have been using head and shoulders for years, but my dandruff kept coming back, I finally tried this one and it worked great! It's been 2 months and no flakes.

This is a great conditioner, works well for my color treated hair--very hydrating and luxurious. took off one point for the ridiculous price--however you need very little.

Masks -Z. Bigatti - Impact-Fruit Enzyme Facial Mask
rated 5 of 5
Helen 3/30/2008 11:48:00 PM

I agree with the other reviewers--this mask takes only 3 minutes--which for me means--I am more likely to use it. I also see my skin glow after I use it--it's definitely expensive--and for this $ I wish it came in a tube or a pump, but I love it nonetheless.

This is my everyday nail polish. It's a lovely shimmery sheer soft pink. Perfect for understated nail without being completely boring. Great quality as with all OPI products.

Styling Products -Garnier - Sleek and Shine Anti-Humidity Styling Cream
rated 4 of 5
Helen 1/20/2008 6:06:00 PM

This is a very nice product. Defrizzed my hair & held it's shape after I blow dried my hair straight. Great deal for the price--you only need a pea size amount for shoulder length hair.

Conditioner -L'Oreal - Vive Pro Color Vive for Highlighted Hair
rated 5 of 5
Helen 2/17/2007 11:28:00 AM

I have shoulder length highlighted fine hair and this works great--I bought this on a whim, and even though I use high end conditioners, I found myself repurchasing this one--definitely a great drugstore find.

Terrible shade. Thick & streaky, I was very disappointed, as I usually do very well with OPI--but no cigar--skip this one.

Masks -Freeman - Totally Juicy - Mango Taffy Pore Strips
rated 5 of 5
Helen 4/20/2006 10:53:00 PM

This is a great drugstore product. First, let me say that the only way to really get rid of blackheads is a facial, but in between this is a great smoother/exfoliator. Easy to use, and a nice fruity scent. Left my skin smooth and refreshed. Much better than using pore strips--my skin didn't peel or feel stripped, just clean.

Shampoo -Frederic Fekkai - Brilliant Brown Color Enhancing Shampoo
rated 1 of 5
Helen 5/21/2005 1:57:00 PM

I was so disappointed in this product. It had no pigment, I washed my hair twice with no results and it left my hair feeling like straw. If you'd like a great color depositing shmpoo try claypac clayons or Arttec instead.

Lotions/ Creams -Bliss Labs - Lemon & Sage Body Butter
rated 2 of 5
Helen 5/16/2005 7:59:00 PM

I am giving it 2 lippies for the scent--really that's where the beauty of this ends. at first glance this luxurious feeling cream felt like a holy grail product, thick and creamy it glides on well and smells heavenly. but this is just an illusion, for some reason this does not moisturize my skin an hour later, i am left with dry skin, apply and reapply as I might--this just doesn't stack up and for $32 a tube--this cream is going back.

Mascara -Elizabeth Arden - Defining Mascara in Pure Black
rated 5 of 5
Helen 5/16/2005 7:56:00 PM

I love this mascara. My mom bought me a tube of this, and being faithful to lancome definicils I said no at first--but she raved about it--so I gave in. Well, I am glad I did--this is a great everyday mascara. doesn't clump, defines without being dramatic and doesn't flake. what more can I ask for--love it & recommend highly.

Liquid -Stephane Marais - Fluid Foundation
rated 5 of 5
Helen 5/16/2005 7:51:00 PM

This is probably my hg foundation. Just got a tube last week and so far very happy w/it. the reviewer thta compared teh texture to clinique pore minimizer was close--just a touch less slippery. if you have dry skin, don't bother, this is a mattifying foundation--very sheer coverage for oily to combo/oily skin. no breakouts--very nice--minimizes my pores too. love the tube with the fun artwork.

Conditioner -Aquage - Healing Conditioner
rated 3 of 5
Helen 3/14/2005 11:51:00 PM

I am on the fence on this one. It's not so bad that I will stop using it, but not so great that I will repurchase when it's gone. all in all an ok conditione,r a bit on the heavy/waxy side, I use it on occasion as a deep conditioner to add moisture to my highlighted wavy/curly hair.
