Hair -Unlisted Brand - Jheri Redding Colorfix
karen137972 9/19/2009 11:19:00 PM
what a great product. Works like a charm. Follow package directions and it will remove permanent hair color completely.and without bleach! After using Colorfix I dyed my hair with 8N Clairol Premium Creme and processed 15 min. instead of 30 and the reults were perfect. The entire process took approx. 2 hours and my hair actually feels and looks healthier than it did before. I highly recommend and would purchase again buy hope I won't need to.

Bath Treatments -Burt's Bees - Apricot baby oil
karen137972 9/13/2009 10:39:00 PM
I had a hard time find this stuff but eventually found it at Target. I immediatley took a whiff of the mango oilo and thought I was in heaven. After my shower I applied it liberally pretty much everywhere I could reach, dried my self with a towel, went to bed and in the middle of the night find myself itching everywhere! One week later I still have a rash onmy legs and arms. I had to get a shot in my tush and take an assortment of pills to rid myself of the awful reaction my body had to this "all natural" product. I don't really know how to rate it I gave it a 11 because it caused me personally to miss work and be very uncomfortable for a week now; However, I gave it to mydaughter and she loves it, and had I not been allergic to something in it (I suspect the "fragrance", whatever that is) I too would probably love it' Rule of thumb always test something out on a small part of your body if it's new to you! Good luck

Polishes -Essie - Delicacy
karen137972 9/13/2009 10:12:00 PM
This polish goes on very well even for a klutz like me! If you dont give yourself the perfect manicure you will not notice it with this color. It makes your nails look great and it's very shiny. The first time I put Revlon topcoat over it and that was a mistake because it took away the beautiful shine. I would recommend this to anyone who wants natural healthy looking nails. Its darn expensive though.

Brows -Unlisted Brand - castor oil
karen137972 9/13/2009 7:46:00 PM
Had it not been for MUA I would have never realized the amazing benefits castor oil provides eyelashes and brows. I held off 5 weeks before writing a review. During that time I have applied the oil to my top and bottom lashes with a mascara wand that has only been used for this purpose. The pharmacist at the grocery store had a 2 oz. little bottle of oil which is a great size for the wand. For the first two weeks I applied every night and for the following three about four nights a week. My lashes are longer, fuller,and just beautiful! About once or twice a week I run the wand through my brows, but I really don't want them to grow, but if that's what you would like then if you did the same routine I used on my lashes then I believe it would also work for your eyebrows. I highly recommend this for anyone, the results are amazing!

Lotions/ Creams -Nivea - Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme
karen137972 9/12/2009 10:06:00 PM
I love this moisturizing creme! I have very dry skin that needs lots of moisturizing but I have a hard time finding one that doesn't make my face break out. As rich as this and the original Nivea creme are they do not clog my pores. I have used both on my face and body and have reaped the rewards of super soft well moisturized skin. I like the feminine scent and it's affordable and easy to find. I highly recommend and have repurchased many times!

Pressed Powders -Rimmel - Stay Matte Pressed Powder (ALL)
karen137972 9/7/2009 2:00:00 PM
Does what it says! Takes the shine away I've been told that your powder should be 3 shades lighter than your foundation, and following that advice I chose Sandstorm and the shade is perfect. I do have a problem with the fact that the lid doesn't screw on and doesn't seem like it snaps on either it just kind of sits there. So far it hasn't come off in my makeup bag, but I can see how it would. Overall a good product that I would repurchase.

Liquid -Ulta - Ulta Oil-Free Foundation with SPF 15
karen137972 9/7/2009 1:51:00 PM
I like this foundation a lot. It is a liquid, so its not heavy. It has spf15 which is always good and I found a perfect color match. I'm pretty tan and the Medium 01 was just right for me. No complaints. I use very little foundation so this bottle will last a very long time but I would repurchase.

Styling Products -Got 2 Be - Glued [water-resistant] Spiking Glue
karen137972 9/5/2009 8:11:00 AM
I have long curly hair and this is the ONLY thing that keeps it from getting frizzy all day and I work outside in FL where its extremely humid. No other hairspray even comes close to this one when it comes to keeping your hair just like you styled it in the morning. It's dirt cheap and I have tried some really expensive ones that leave my hair frizzy right after I spray them on. My only neg. about this product is that the spray nozzle clogs and it starts spraying up or down but if you're by hot water just hold it in the flow for a minute and it works fine. Don't let the can fool you I dont think its for spiking it just has great hold! Highly recommend

Simply put, I didn't like it. My foundation looks the same with or without it . I would not buy again and I will not even use what I have.

Hair Color -Clairol - Premium Creme Soy Complex
karen137972 8/23/2009 12:09:00 PM
this is hands down the best hair color ever! If you go to the Clairol Professional website you can do anything you want in regards to coloring your hair. They have different ideas and photos of them and then they thoroughly explain what products you need to purchase and how to use them to get the results you want. They have troubleshooting if you have messed up the color of your hair or over processed it. I love that you can mix only portions of the tube and save some for touch ups, unlike the drugstore boxes that you have to use the entire box. I realize that they have "root touch up boxes but they cost just as much. Another thing you can do is combine colors so you can get literally the exact color you are looking for. Also it honestly does leave your hair in better condition I guess because of the soy complex. I can't say enough good things about this product. The website is key to getting perfect results. Like a Pro, maybe even better :D

Cleansers -Cetaphil - Gentle Skin Cleanser
karen137972 8/22/2009 11:46:00 PM
I just don't like the way this cleanser feels and I refuse to believe it's doing anything so I wind up washing my face again with Dove sensitive skin. So whats the point of even using it? It feels slimy and gross and it doesn't lather. EWW!

Moisturizers -DDF - Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer
karen137972 8/22/2009 11:00:00 PM
I used the entire bottle of this, basically because of the expense. It didn't do any thing for my skin that I was aware of. The only thing I liked about it was it felt so smooth when I put it on. Like that's worth 80 bucks!?

One of those items that just collects dust on my vanity. I used this for about three months at night and there were no noticeable results. Waste of $$$$$

Masks -Queen Helene - Mint Julep Masque
karen137972 8/22/2009 2:43:00 PM
You really can't beat this for the price. If you have a pimple it will definantly bring it to the surface, and if used again, dry it up. It smells just like touth paste and it does sting a little, but all in all I like it about every other week or to put on a problem spot over night.
