Deodorants -Dove - Clinical Protection Visibly Smooth
CuddleCore 5/7/2012 10:22:00 AM
So to get to the point ... I love this deodorant because it actually does what is advertises & it smells good! It truly is clinical strength-- keeps me dry all day! I haven't had the issue of wet patches in years since I started using Dove's clinical strength line. I recently switched to visibly smooth because my hairs are really dark. But this really does minimize the look of the hairs. I have very sensitive skin and shaving too often irritates the skin, but this helps me cut back on that. And with that, the other plus is ... I used to have dark patched on my underarms because of too much shaving. But after using this for about 2 months now they've dissipated and my skin is visibly smooth in more ways than one. This deodorant is great!

Shave Products -Aveeno - Positively Smooth Shave Gel
CuddleCore 12/23/2011 9:47:00 AM
I love this shave gel & the only reason I decided to try this product out is b/c my boyfriend's sister uses it & I think she's a pretty awesome girl lol! But to start, I am a shave everyday kind of girl ...sadly. If I want smooth legs everyday ... then I Have to shave everyday or else my legs get spiky. While shopping, the one thing that attracted me to this over the Therapeutic shave gel was that it said it'll help you shave less often. This is 100% true! I bought this a few days ago tried it out immediately and I'm just now starting to feel prickly legs, three days later. I'm not sure how other people are, but that is Awesome for me! So just imagine if you are a shave every 3 days kind of girl what kind of results you cold get. On top of that ... it has a great, very light scent and gives a really close shave, better than any other shaving cream I've used. I am 100% sold and will never buy anything else unless, the price isn't very steep at all and the packaging is rust free! Just a perfect product that does what it says it'll do!

Lotions/ Creams -Nivea - Sunkissed Beautiful Legs
CuddleCore 6/14/2011 10:47:00 PM
So, I didn't actually go out & buy this ... my mom brought it looking for something else. And I picked it up because the first thing that struck me on the bottle was "Shave Minimizer" ... let me tell you ... doesn't work. Don't believe it. Typically I shave my legs everyday, my hair grows back Fast [sadly] ..and I used this as the instructions suggested, but noticed no difference. I was kind of disappointed. But on a good note, it Did give my legs a sunkissed tan. I am Black as it is ...so I don't really go for, or need the tanning effects, but after just a week of using this my leg color was noticeable different from my feet color. Which I hate lol, but the products obviously works & It's also very moisturizing! I love the smell too! Dispite it's many Pros, I won't buy it again ... just because it's kinda pricey and I have a full body moisturizer that works just as well for less.

Gels/Soaps -Olay - Ribbons Body Wash with Jojoba Butter Ribbons
CuddleCore 5/11/2011 12:09:00 PM
So, when I first tried this product out, I instantly fell in love! My skin was so moist and smooth after using it! It lathers great, smells amazing, I was very impressed! But after using it for almost of month, my skin started to get greasy & there was slippery residue left on my shower floor. So I checked out the ingredients on the back ...and the top three are Water, Petroleum and Mineral Oil. The last two are thick, gunky products that just coat skin, hair or whatever it touches and doesn't rly absorb. So I'm pretty disappointed with this product & won't buy it again.

Lotions/ Creams -Johnson & Johnson - shea and cocoabutter baby lotion
CuddleCore 4/1/2011 11:45:00 AM
This lotion is Great as a body lotion! I use it in combination with the baby wash [apple honey or vanilla oatmeal] & my skin is always super moisturized afterwards and just soo smooth. I love it! It's not so great as a hand or foot lotion though ...which is weird. It makes them feel dry and chalky like I was just writing on a chalkboard. I am also not a fan of the smell ... I wish they would make it a little bit more pleasant. But either way it works great for me & as far as my skin health goes ...this is a keeper!

Eyeliner -Smashbox - Soft Focus Powder Eyeliner
CuddleCore 3/24/2011 1:41:00 PM
Wow! Maybe I am crazy or something. But I love this eyeliner! & I have never had any problems with flakes or it running down my face! I was actually surprised to see that Every review was a 1! But here are my experiences with this ... I purchased it in brown for a nice subtle liner & it gave me just that. I use it about everyday for a natural look. When I apply it though I kinda shake it before I open and use. And I just dab it on ...or gentle smudge. I never have it run or flake. It sits right where I put it. & though I love it so much ... I gave it 4 simply because it doesn't last all day. But It's not Gone by noon ...still noticeable ...just not as bold but I completely understand that since it is a light powder. But I def recommend it for anyone looking for a natural look ..it's soo easy to use and I would love to get it grey & the new black shade they have come out with.

Blush -Everyday Minerals - blush all
CuddleCore 3/24/2011 1:24:00 PM
Love it! I have it in quite a few different shades...all of which I had swapped for on here & I fell in love from the very first one. The colors are beautiful and it blends easily, so I always look natural. Plus it lasts all day ..& I always get compliments when I use their blush! I don't really like the packaging ... I feel like it's easy for me to make a mess with this stuff, but I guess that's just how loose powder is! I just feel like the tops on these always come a little loose after bumping around and make a small mess in my makeup bag. But ... oh well, small scarifies. I haven't brought any yet ...but I feel like compared to some of my other fave brands ...this stuff is not that expensive. & I will def buy/swap more in the future.

Lips -Sephora - Ultra Vinyl Lip Pencil
CuddleCore 3/24/2011 1:17:00 PM
So ... 12 bucks for this tiny pencil? a bit much I think ... but I absolutely Love it! So it doesn't quite matter to me! Hah! I just love it, it's hydrating, the color is great & lasts [not all day ...but oh well] and it goes on soo smooth making my lips feel and look perfect. I got it in sweet beige which is not one of the sparkling kinds ...so my lips just look natural and moist and beautiful. I can't wait to try one of the sparkly kinds too though. I'm just too pleased with this product.

Gels/Soaps -Johnson & Johnson - Vanilla Oatmeal Baby Wash
CuddleCore 3/24/2011 1:25:00 AM
I really like this bath wash. I tried it months ago ...& stopped for some reason. Can't remember why because I really actually enjoy this body wash ... it's got a very nice light scent & I would love to try this in the Honey Apple as well! I love it! But though it's not super moisturizing [which a few people seem to have a problem with] ... I find that overall my skin still feels touchable and smooth [not weird and kinda tight like some soaps have left my skin] but I am also clean! Which I think should be the ultimate factor here ...as it is a body Wash ...meant to cleanse. Not just moisturize. And since I am able to get clean but still have smooth skin I am pretty happy with it ...& will definitely buy it again. It's a nice sized bottle & a little goes a long way, so this will last me a while.

Shampoo -Garnier - Sleek and Shine
CuddleCore 2/24/2011 9:21:00 AM
So, I just gave the conditioner rave reviews! I'm such a fan of Garnier Fructis' line and it never fails me! After using another brands smoothing line & coming back to GF I can truly see what I've missed out on. Although this shampoo still leaves my hair tangled and wiry and feeling dry compared to other lines my hair still felt a little more smoothed after shampooing. I could feel some soft strands which was nice. It wasn't as matted and hard to comb through, which always drove me Crazy after using other brands. But this was a big deal for me because when my hair go soo matted and tangled after using other lines, it caused so much extra breakage and shedding, my hair would come out in handfuls! So, this shampoo was definitely an upgrade and definitely a keeper! I give it a 5 though because I'm judging it in conjunction with the conditioner. If I'm sold on the results I get after conditioning, then I am sold on the Duo. & There's no way I'm gonna stray away from GF again!

Conditioner -Garnier - Sleek and Shine
CuddleCore 2/24/2011 9:05:00 AM
So, I am kind of a product junkie and I'll find things that absoultely work for my hair but convince myself that there is something better out there. I used Garnier Fructis' sleek & shine and moisture works line in the past with Amazing results. I always loved how soft and manageable my hair was after using it. I don't know why I thought there would ever be anything better because I ALWAYS come back to GF!! It truly does what it says it does. Moisturize, control frizz and fortify. After using Tresseme's smoothing line, which worked for a couple of months before turning my hair hard and causing my hair to shed and break in handfulls! I came back to this and the first day I used it my hair felt instantly softer & smoother, less frizz, and thankfully less breakage and hair in my comb! Significantly less! There's no way I'm getting rid of GF again!

Styling Products -Got 2 Be - Smooth Operator Smoothing Lustre Lotion
CuddleCore 1/5/2011 8:05:00 PM
So, I gave this product rave reviews before. But after using it for more than a few weeks it's had bad long term effects. It smells heavenly, it looks cute and it's not so bad for it's price. But it has alcohol in it ..which Dried my hair out like Crazy! I had crunchy, brittle hair after using this almost daily for several weeks. It took soo many deep conditioning treatments to get my hair back into shape. & I'm still recovering. I don't recommend this product. But if you have it currently and love it to death. I'm willing to swap my two bottles off. I never wanna use this stuff again!

Conditioner -TRESemme - Vitamin E Moisture Rich Conditioner
CuddleCore 10/12/2010 9:35:00 AM
Wow! ... I am soo surprised! I have been praising Garnier Fructis for the past couple years only to try Tresemme on a random whim ... & Realize that my hair has Never been this moisturized! The conditioner is sooo thick and creamy & coats my hair nicely ... which really helps get all the tangles out [specially after using the matching shampoo which tangled my hair] After I left it sit in for about 5 mins ...it seemed to really soak into my strands and left it feeling soo smooth and soft and lush and yummy! My hair after I towel dried didn't feel weighted down or waxy it was just light & moisturized! I lovelove looove it! and would definitely buy this again & again!

Shampoo -TRESemme - Vitamin E Moisture Rich Shampoo
CuddleCore 10/12/2010 9:29:00 AM
I Love it! ... but only if I use it with the matching condish. I give it a 3 because it's Not moisturizing. Though, I have yet to find a "moisturizing" shampoo that does what it's supposed to. But I really do love it because my scalp gets clean & though my hair gets kinda tangled ... I really like the smell and the end result [After a good conditioning that is lol!]
