Styling Products -Suave - Professionals Captivating Curls Whipped Cream Mousse
Annika7 8/28/2011 9:50:00 AM
I would like to thank those of you that took time to review this product. Without those reviews, I never would have tried it. I'm not a product snob, but I'd never considered trying Suave products. For reference, I have fine, color-treated shoulder length blonde hair. It has some natural wave, but could never find the right product to enhance the waves to my satisfaction. This stuff is truly amazing. I use a little less than stated in the directions, use a diffuser to dry my hair, and the curls are, dare I say...perfect. I got sooooo many compliments when I wear my hair curly with the help of this mousse.

Styling Products -Sexy Hair Concepts - Big Sexy Hair - Flip it Over

I really like this product! It works best for me, if I spray a bit on my hands and work it through my fine, just below chin-length bob. It offers some control of those crazy flyaways, and it actually holds it somewhat. I used it in the morning like I described before, by putting the product on my hands, then flipping over and working it through my hair, and the results were natural. Good texture and separation. I worked all day, then came home and worked outside in the wind for about 3 hours. A friend wanted me to go to dinner, and my hair still looked "okay", but I wanted it to look a little more polished. This time, I sprayed a few bursts onto the bottom of my hair, flipped over and worked it through, and my hair looked great. I don't think I could live without this stuff now.

Styling Products -Wella - Liquid Hair Brilliant Spray Gel

I bought this product because of the reviews here on MUA, and I'm so glad I did. I couldn't find any in town, so I had to order it from Amazon.com. I was really not expecting to be "wowed", because I've tried so many products with just lackluster results. I just cannot say enough about ths product. It seriously has transformed my hair. It looks healthy, all the way down to the ends, it controls well without stickiness or crunchiness, and it gives me just the right amount of volume without being poofy. I have a mid lenghth bob, fairly fine, blonde color treated hair. Also, I have to admit that I am NOT good at styling my hair. Never have been. I can just never get it to look like they do in the salon. I'm a girly girl, but somehow I did not get whatever girl gene it requires to be able to style hair well. This has helped me so much. I still can't believe how much difference this product has made, after I've tried soooo many other things. It still looks good the next day, too. I will definitely repurchase, although that may not be for awhile, becase the product seems to go on forever, even though I use several pumps each time I use it. Anyway, thanks MUA for this recommendation!

Mascara -Cover Girl - Volume Exact [DISCONTINUED]
Annika7 1/28/2007 10:31:00 PM
I liked the Lash Exact, but didn't think it gave me enough volume. I had been using Lancome Hypnose and really liked that at first, but have slowly become disenchanted with it. I saw this at Walgreens and thought what the heck....I've been using it for about a week now and honestly like it as well if not better than Lancome. It builds nice volume, stays on and is easy to remove. And it's WAY cheaper. YAY!

Cleansers -DHC - Deep Cleansing Oil

I just started using this product after reading all the great reviews. As many of you, I have very oily skin, even at age 46. I like the way it takes off makeup, but I am having problems getting it to completely remove my Lancome Hypnose mascara. (non waterproof) I follow the instructions explicitly, putting it on a dry face with dry hands,etc. Otherwise, I adore it so far, and plan to keep using it. If anyone else has some tips about mascara removal with this, feel free to let me know. I do have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised by this product.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Exact

Ive been alternating Lancome Hypnose and Lash Exact in my own little experiment....pricey vs. cheap. I truly like the Lash Exact much better. It does what it says....no clumping and it lasts all day. I was surprised at the results to be honest, but am glad I gave it a try.
