Conditioner -Suave - Professionals Humectant Conditioner
Blondie1017 7/21/2005 12:30:00 AM
I use this product in combination with the humectant shampoo and I have super soft and healthy curls! I'm shocked at how much I am in love with this stuff, considering the price. It is one of my recent must have products. It smells fabulous too! I sure hope this stuff stands up over time and that I'll contine to rave about it!

Conditioner -Matrix - Biolage Ultra Hydrating Conditioning Balm
Blondie1017 7/21/2005 12:23:00 AM
Ultra Hydrating is EXACTLY what this product is. If your hair is not dry or in need of moisture, you do not need to try this product. BUT if you want some healthy, soft, frizz-free hair--- this is your miracle product! After tons of raves on the hair board, I was compelled to try out this product.. I am so happy I did. One of the most moisturizing and wonderful products out there. I use this with the Ultra Hydrating Shampoo and get suchhh soft hair. I'd repurchase ANY day ANY time :-)

Styling Products -Matrix - Biolage - Shaping Creme-Wax
Blondie1017 7/21/2005 12:17:00 AM
I was generally unimpressed with this product. While it smells wonderful, it did not do what I was 'hoping' for it to do. I have dry, thin, highlighted, curly hair that tends to get frizzy, and I was hoping that this would help take care of some 'halo' frizz.. It did nothing of the sort.. While it does not build up, or leave any sort of tacky feel on my hair like most waxes, it does not do much of anything! I also tried it on wavy hair after I used a large barell curling iron, as well as after a flat iron. Each time I had NO definition in my hair and it all-around below-average results. There's much better stuff I've used out there, for $13, especially!

Styling Products -Sebastian - Potion 9
Blondie1017 6/20/2005 12:40:00 AM
I love this product! It's definitely my new HG for my leave-in! I'm not sure what it does that I love the most- I think it's just the perfect 'first' product to go on my hair. When my hair is dry/curly, this makes it so soft and controls a lot of the frizz. I can tell a difference in my hair if I do or don't use it. It smells ok.. can’t really describe it.. and it was about $14

Treatments -Redken - Extreme Anti Snap OLD FORMULA see 143469 for new [REFORMULATED]
Blondie1017 6/15/2005 12:22:00 AM
This stuff is great- I can definitely tell it's actually HELPING my hair. Makes it definitely soft, and though it adds no true syling power or shine enhancement, it adds health, which is what is great! The smell is ok, too! The only problem I have is the applicator top- it always 'sticks' and it never comes out smoothly/effortlessly. Other then that- 2 thumbs up!

Lip Liners -MAC - Lipliner in Spice
Blondie1017 5/25/2005 12:12:00 AM
Of course I HAD to get this- because there's no beauty magazine around that does not rave about this lipliner. It's very neutral and goes with everything- great casual look. I love just lining my lips, filling in a bit w/ the liner, and applying some gloss. It lasts long and looks natural. I'd get it again- no complaints!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Trax
Blondie1017 5/25/2005 12:10:00 AM
I was randomly looking at makeup at the MAC counter and this struck my eye- a pretty purplish darker eye shadow that looked like it would look great with my blue eyes. The MA agreed, and put it on me w/ some Gleam to highlight and I loved the results. Nice color!! I've used it on my mother and sister , who have dark brown and light brown hair and compeltly different skintones then me (I'm blonde and pale- they have darker complexions) and this looked GREAT on them too. Definitely worth purchasing!

Conditioner -Matrix - Biolage Ultra Hydrating Conditioning Balm
Blondie1017 5/25/2005 12:06:00 AM
After some great results others had on the hair boards w/ this stuff, I just HAD to give it a try for myself. Thank goodness I did!! Along with the ultra hydrating shampoo, this stuff makes my hair as silky as it'll ever be! No joke! I feel like my hair is so moisturized, not coated and gross like so many products have left my hair in the past. I've tried other Biolage products and NOTHING compares to this stuff. I don't know why it only has a 3.5 rating!! It deserves a 5 for SURE :-)

Styling Products -Garnier - XXL Volume Mousse Ultimate Body Ultra Strong
Blondie1017 3/25/2005 12:50:00 AM
Interesting reviews.. a lot girls at the hair board love this (that's why I bought it!! :-) ) and I'm glad I listened! My hair is fine but dense and curly It has lots of uneven curls.. with more curlier curls underneath and more waves and 'pretty curls' at the top.. I struggle for even curls and volume WITHOUT heat.. and crunch!! I was impressed how my curls seem to have a lot more volume when I use this. Interestingly enough I didn't think it added much volume at first.. but when my curls dried fully I DEFINITELY noticed a difference. No crunch w/ this either.. and it made my hair remain really soft. The applicator is a little hard to work, but that's my only gripe! (and the fact that there's a little frizz- but it makes my hair so bouncy and full that this frizz honestly doesn't bother me!) I'd purchase again! :-)

Eye Shadow -Milani - Sun Goddess
Blondie1017 3/21/2005 6:16:00 PM
I find that I get something similar to this color in ecery brand (shimmery pinkish brownish nudeish) and this one definitely compares with the rest! I love the color as a natural but noticible shimmery-eye look.. the only problem is that I find it does not stay on as well as other shadows I use.. I think I need some new eye-shadow primer or something!! ;-) I'd buy again for $3.50!!!!

Blondie1017 3/20/2005 11:09:00 PM
ehh- not too good! I love Jane products for a great product at a great price.. just not THIS product! It did not glide smoothly, was very hard , and barely showed up! What DID show up just wore off and smudged in an hr! Big, fat, NO on this one!

Eye Shadow -Jane - Eye Zing in Sun gloss
Blondie1017 3/20/2005 11:08:00 PM
I had never seen this color, because Jane products are difficult to find around here.. and the moment I found it I snagged it! I acutally would have bought it even if I had not heard amazing things about it on here! I love that it is soo pigmented.. and stays forever! Such high quality- at such a low price!

Shampoo -Goldwell - Dry & Porous Shampoo
Blondie1017 3/20/2005 11:03:00 PM
Makes my hair sooo soft and moisturized! I recieved samples of this (which were generous, by the way!) and am just thrilled at how it transformed my hair for the day.. I barely had to do anything to it- a little mousse and a few hrs of air drying and my curls were frizz free, defined, and just beautiful! I really want the full size now!! :-)
