Eye Makeup Remover -Garnier - Fresh gentle eye makeup remover for sensitive eyes
BlackBeauty 8/17/2004 9:44:00 PM
Great product - smells great, kind to my eyes and removes heavy eye makeup with not too much rubbing. Also removes waterproof eyemakeup and does not sting! Will re-purchase as it is so cheap.

Skincare -Nivea - Revitalizing Lotion Q10
BlackBeauty 3/14/2004 11:07:00 PM
My hubby bought this and after going through my own sample of it, I've been using HIS Nivea Q10 lotion almost every morning now! Will definately repurchase *ahem* I mean, purchase my own next!

Lip Treatments -Nivea - Vitamin Power
BlackBeauty 3/14/2004 11:05:00 PM
Does nothing to nourish or soften my lips. I was only using a sample and most of it has disappeared shortly after applying it to my lips - and trust me, it's not the orangey taste or smell! I will definately return to my HG of Laura Mercier's Lip Silk to sooth and smooth red, sore lips!

Lotions/ Creams -Nivea - Shimmering Body Lotion
BlackBeauty 3/14/2004 10:52:00 PM
I have dark, golden skin and this looked great. Not enough shimmer for nighttime but perfect for day-time wear. However, not moisturising enough. I'm still on the fence as to whether I'd buy this again (especially since it looks great on dark skin), or to just keep searching...

Styling Products -Kusco-Murphy - Bedroom Hair
BlackBeauty 2/18/2004 10:57:00 PM
Didn't like this product at all. Thought I'd give it a go since I love KM's Beach Hair so much but this was just a disappointment. Left my TR'ed hair very matted and dirty-looking despite being freshly washed.

Tinted Moisturizer -Ponds - Tinted Moisturizer -Honey
BlackBeauty 1/25/2004 8:49:00 PM
My first TM, but this product makes my oily/combination skin look greasy and oily. I need to dust some Mirenesse oil-absorbing powder lightly over the top. Also, the packaging has caused me lots of problems. I often have the tube upside down to deposit the product in my hands but being upside down, it often splurts out and I've had it splatter on my clothes a number of times :( Will not repurchase and will look at the YSL matte TM next time.

Blush -Bobbi Brown - Blush
BlackBeauty 1/25/2004 8:45:00 PM
Great product. I have dark, chocolate skin so use this in the shade 'Plum'. Looks great for day or evening wear and I don't need to re-apply until the evening. Little pricey although I bought this off a friend almost unused. However, I'm using a cheap Revlon blush brush with it which I can't wait to replace with something of softer and better quality!

Cleansers -Neutrogena - Pore Refining Cleanser
BlackBeauty 1/14/2004 10:14:00 PM
Doesn't smell very nice but works very well on my oily/combination skin. I use it only every second day though as I do not have large pores or any problems with pimples/acne. This product comes in a HUGE tube so I think it will keep me going for ages. Oh, and don't get this stuff in your eyes - oh my god, the pain!!!

Shampoo -Redken - Hair Cleansing Cream
BlackBeauty 12/16/2003 11:07:00 PM
An excellent clarifying shampoo. I only ever use this *in place of* my regular shampoo once a week or sometimes once a fortnight. Even my fiance uses it once a fortnight or so to get rid of product build-up. However, I use a lot of leave-in conditioners and serums so I swear by this product for removing build-up and leaving my scalp feeling refreshed and clean! Will definately re-purchase this as a modestly-priced, good clarifying shampoo.

Hair -Redken - Redken Hardwear #16
BlackBeauty 12/16/2003 11:05:00 PM
This gel is awesome...if you like gels. It is not drying and is very kind to your hair, unlike most other cheap-ish gels. Only thing is, I can't stand the smell of this product - it makes me want to vomit. So have given it to my fiance to use in his short hair and he loves it! He can't stop telling me how much happier his hair is since he stopped using the cheapy Wella gels and that this Redken gel combs or washes right out very easily.

Treatments -Redken - Extreme Deep Fuel [DISCONTINUED]
BlackBeauty 12/16/2003 11:02:00 PM
A lot of reviewers here obviously don't realise that this is a protein treatment and not a moisturising treatment!! Of course it will not make your hair soft - protein treatments don't do that. But with continued use in conjunction with a moisturising treatment, you will have healthy, strong, soft and shiny hair. I have used Deep Fuel on my hair and couldn't be more happier with the results. My bleached hair was no longer damaged or porous! I only wish that the 5 satchels were 10 smaller ones instead - definately way too much product in just one satchel for even my coarse, thick, mid-length hair.

Shampoo -Kerastase - Oleo Relax shampoo
BlackBeauty 12/16/2003 10:37:00 PM
This shampoo is fantastic - I love the smell and it leaves my hair fabulously clean and soft. My hair is thick, coarse and wiry and has recently been thermally reconditioned.

Treatments -Kerastase - Masque Oleo-Relax
BlackBeauty 12/16/2003 10:36:00 PM
Agreed with other reviewers - this is not heavy enough to be called a Masque. It's okay for a twice-weekly conditioner but it was not moisturising enough for my thick, curly and coarse hair. I prefer Kerastase Masquintense for use as an intensive treatment hair mask.

Treatments -Kerastase - Oleo-Relax Serum
BlackBeauty 12/16/2003 10:35:00 PM
I use this to smooth over my hair after mustering or after using a light beach spray. It smells divine. One gripe - I can't take my bottle anywhere since it is leaking :( Definately my chosen serum - just wish it had heat-protectant properties too.

Treatments -Kerastase - Masquintense
BlackBeauty 12/16/2003 10:33:00 PM
OMG! What a product. I'm on my second tub now - I wish the tubs were bigger because my hair seems to absorb this stuff and I run out in about 4-6 weeks! I use this 1-2 times per week on my curly, coarse, wiry hair which has been TR'ed and is mustered weekly. The smell is divine and I find leaving it in under a shower cap with a couple of shots from a hot hair dryer do wonders for my hair. Definately my HG.
