Gels/Soaps -Neutrogena - Rainbath Shower Gel
maria411 10/21/2011 4:45:00 PM
I just tried this from a sample bottle, and I really liked it! I love the smell, and how it lingers on my skin long after. It's like a clean fragrance, not sure what it reminds me of:-/ I love the amber color of this gel, and did I mention the great smell! And it can also be used for shaving, how cool is that? But Neutrogena has many great products, so it's not surprising:-)

I love this body lotion! It smells divine, goes on smooth and light, leaves skin soft and fresh. I like my skin to feel refreshed, and that I'm using products that have natural, healing ingredients for when my skin really needs it. This lotion takes care of those things, it's a keeper:-)

Styling Products -Garnier - Brilliantine Shine Glossing Spray
maria411 6/13/2011 8:10:00 AM
I bought this product recently when my usual Tresemme heat protection spray wasn't available. I wasn't sure if this was just a shine spray, or a styling product as well. I found out that I can use it for both! It smells soooo great, and gives my hair such a sleek look. I used it on my damp, hair, or after I dry it, and it made using the flat iron so much easier, gave it a smooth, light feel. Just don't use too much, especially on fine hair. I used it again as a shine spray after, and it kept my hair smooth and shiny, with no frizz, and smelling awesome:-D I'm still going to use Tresemme heat spray, but will continue to use this for a glossing spray, or at least until I try another brand. I'm always looking for new things to try:-)

Gels/Soaps -Avon - Naturals Shower Gel in Vanilla
maria411 6/9/2011 1:44:00 PM
I pretty much love anything with a vanilla scent, so this was something I had to have! It lathers up nicely, and leaves my skin smooth, with that lovely vanilla scent. They're such a great deal, I might just try them all:-D

Treatments -Avon - Advance Techniques Frizz Control Lotus Shield
maria411 6/7/2011 9:16:00 AM
I received a sample of this, and used it a few days ago. It did smooth out my hair, which does tend to frizz at times, and made it easy to style. It has a fresh scent, although I do prefer my other products I'm currently using, but this is a good product for frizzy hair. I like trying new things, and if they don't wreck or destroy my hair in some way, then that's always a good thing! If you can get a sample first from your Avon rep, and you have frizz-prone hair, give it a try:-)

Moisturizers -Avon - Ageless Results Renewing Day Cream Spf 15
maria411 6/5/2011 5:27:00 PM
I bought this in the day and night cream, and they're both great! The texture is creamy, so a little is all you need. It pretty much brightens my skin as soon as I apply it, and leaves it so smooth and fresh for hours, giving me that glow that I so needed. The fact that it has a sunscreen is always a plus. I like taking care of my skin, and I've seen results with this product, how it improves the tone and texture. I switch between this and the Anew Clinical, and have had wonderful results with both:-)

Styling Products -Garnier - Wonder Waves Wave Enhancing Spray
maria411 5/31/2011 1:10:00 PM
My hair has a natural wave, but it does need enhancing. I usually straighten it, but I needed to give my hair a much needed break from heat, so I sprayed it on my damp hair, and put some definition into my waves. It didn't feel too sticky, and it dried nicely. It has a pleasant smell, and it gave my hair great texture and hold. I like to have options that allow my hair to look great when I straighten it, or leave it natural, or somewhere in between. I'm not totally a fan of Fructis products normally, since I use L'Oreal sulfate free products, or John Frieda, but this one was good! It's good for if you want a super curly look, braided, twisted, or tousled. For those who use the flat iron way too much, it's nice to give it a rest and work the wavy look:-D

Shampoo -L'Oreal - Everstrong Reconstruct shampoo
maria411 5/7/2011 11:58:00 AM
This shampoo rocks! I've used this over the last few months off and on, as I have other products I was trying. But I really love using sulfate-free products on my hair. It makes a world of difference(to me anyway) in how my hair feels, and the condition of my color, as well as texture of my hair. It brings out the shine and smoothness, and it's easier to style. I do have a slight problem with the tube, how it's hard to get it out when the level gets low, but I can deal with it! The formula is so rich and it lathers nicely, and you can tell it's different from other shampoos. At first I didn't like the scent, but now l like it. It actually helped to tone down the 'just colored' smell from using Preference a few days ago:-p The fact that it is a reconstructing shampoo helps, since I've put my hair through some damage with color, and heat styling---so that is definitely a plus:-)

Conditioner -TRESemme - Vitamin B12 & Gelatin Anti-Breakage
maria411 4/10/2011 12:53:00 PM
I really like this conditioner! It helps with my fine, breakage-prone hair. I can tell a difference when using it, compared to other conditioners. After I colored my hair with Preference a few days ago, I used the conditioner that came with it, and didn't like it as much as when I used the Tresemme the next day. It feels light when applying it, and sometimes I just use it when co-washing. It makes my hair silky, manageable, and it has a fresh scent:-)

Styling Products -Clairol - Herbal Essence Tousle Me Softly Spray Gel
maria411 3/27/2011 1:33:00 PM
I just tried this for the first time after getting it free after buying another HE product:) I LOVE the scent! As I was spraying it on my damp hair, I noticed right off how it wasn't sticky, so I kept adding more! It holds well, brings out the natural curl/wave in my hair. I usually straighten it, but when I feel like going natural, or just changing it up in different ways, this is a great product.

Styling Products -TRESemme - Instant Heat Tamer Spray
maria411 11/11/2010 11:28:00 AM
I LOVE this product! I just bought this a few days ago, after not using a heat protectant spray for too long(what's wrong with me?) :( Well, my hair was always healthy, and I would use smoothing serums and things like that before styling. But now since I've been coloring more, and the heat styling, straightening has put my hair through torture,I wanted to use this one! Tresemme products have always been good, even though I don't currently use them, but never had any problems with my hair when using them. This spray is great, it has such a nice smell too:) It keeps my hair smooth and soft, silky and I just feel better after having used it. It's so important to use something to protect your locks! Give it a try...ciao!

Hair -John Frieda - Brilliant Brunette Liquid Shine Illuminating Shampoo & Conditioner
maria411 7/29/2010 1:36:00 PM
I love the shampoo, haven't tried the conditioner yet. It leaves my hair light, silky, and smelling great:) It's funny though, that it's made for color treated hair, but yet there are sulfates in the ingredients(??)Usually those are the things to avoid, so it just seems odd. Anyway, it works especially great soon after I've colored my hair, which was 2 days ago. I've used the JF brilliant brunette light reflecting/moisturizing shampoos/conditioners, and always loved them, so I gave this one a try too. I would definitely use again, along with my other favs:)
