Treatments -L'Oreal - Everstrong Overnight Repair Treatment

I have been using this product for a few months now. And what did I notice? Split ends.Talk about counter productive. This stuff is junk and the texture is too thick even for my thick wavy hair. I do not like the smell.It reminds me of another hair product line that was once sold and Long's Drugs. I forget the name but it came in a blue container and was a leave in conditioner. I have tried the whole line of L'Oreal Everstrong and I did not like any of it. I dont see why people are loving this product so much. It has received good reviews in magazines.

Treatments -Sally Hershberger - Hyper Hydration Super Keratin

The first few times I used this, it make my hair soft. But now, my hair feels drier and frizzier. This spray is pretty thick for a leave in spray and it kind of smells like oranges. I'm not going to buy this again. I'm not totally sure if my hair is drier and frizzier because I have been growing it out or that this product is damaging my hair.

This product helped my skin alot. My skin hasnt looked so clear in years and it's smoother.I use in this in combination with Cerave foaming cleanser. The only problems I have with this moisturizer is the packaging and it's kind of hard to find in stores. But this price you cant beat. $1.89. What could bet that?

Cleansers -Cetaphil - Gentle Skin Cleanser
rated 1 of 5
abril090 3/28/2012 9:18:00 PM

I had been using this cleanser for years but I had to stop using it. This cleaser that consists of irritaing ingredients, made me break out and left my skin irritated. You know those flesh colored bumps some of you may have on your face ,the ones that arent exactly pimples but are just bumps? This product caused me to have those annoying bumps. Low and behold, when I stopped using this Cetaphil cleanser, my skin started to clear up,wasnt irritated and those bumps disappeared. Have I discovered Cerave foaming cleanser years ago,I would not have used this cleanser and my skin would've been in better condition. Never will I use cetaphil again.This product is overrated.

I dont mean to gush,but this is the best cleanser I have ever used. It gently cleanses my skin leaving it soft and smooth. My skin has looked alot better since I have been using this product.I have not broken out since using this. This is better than Cetaphil which broke me out.

Primer/ Corrector -Neutrogena - Healthy Skin Brightening Eye Perfector
rated 1 of 5
abril090 3/28/2012 9:05:00 PM

The only good thing about this product is the packaging. It looks like it could be a Clinique product because of the chrome looking container. Otherwise, the concealer itself is not good.Rather than concealing the dark color under my eyes,it made my dark eye circles look gray. And this cost about $14,overpriced for a junk concealer.There are other concealers out there that are far more better and costs much less.

Conditioner -John Frieda - Root Awakening Strength Restoring Conditioner
rated 1 of 5

I have tried literally hundreds of hair products and have not once been alergic to a hair conditioner untill now. After using the whole container of this toxic junk, I began to have a severe alergic reaction to it. My eyelids became swollen and turned a pinkish color and the skin on my nose became dry and rash like.And on top of that, my scalp became itchy. I am surprised how high this conditioner has been rated. If you are sensitive to hair condtioners this is definitely not for you. I will never buy this again.

Styling Products -John Frieda - 3-day Straight Semi-Permanent Styling Spray
rated 1 of 5
abril090 8/12/2011 8:22:00 PM

This product made my hair look like the before picture. This product turned my thick wavy hair frizzy,dry and icky. It says to use on damp or wet hair and to blow dry it thoroughly. I used this on damp hair. After I dried my hair with a blow dryer with this junk in my hair, my hair looked awful,like it sucked all the humidity in the air. I then used my flat iron. I had frizzier hair than usual and drier hair too. I still havent found a John Frieda product I like and probably will not especially after using this. I wont be trying anymore John Frieda products anymore either.

Liquid -Almay - Almay Truly Lasting Color longwear makeup
rated 1 of 5
abril090 6/29/2011 10:20:00 PM

I bought this from WalMart about $12. The bottle it came in is great but the liquid is awful. It's kind of watery put when applied to my face, it felt heavy. It broke me out on my chin and forehead. Not only that, it seemed like I had to apply 3 applications to notice anything.Another reviewer mention that too. This product could be alot better if it gave a hue and didnt feel gross when it was applied. The only good things about this is the pump and bottle it came in,and it has SPF 15. The old version of this from the 90s was alot better.I wish they never discontinued it.

Masks -AcneFree - Sulfur Mask
rated 1 of 5
abril090 6/27/2011 10:13:00 PM

I bought this at Walmart for about $7. I used this twice a week for three months.The first two weeks, I used the mask, it cleared my skin alittle and reduced the blackheads on my nose. However on the third week, I starting having huge cystic pimples on my jawline,chin and cheeks.I have broken out in huge zits before but not like the ones I had after using the sulfur mask.My chin broke out twice into huge cystic pimple zits.Almost like the size of a small grape! I stopped using the mask and two weeks later,low and behold, I didnt even break out once. I didnt even have a single pimple. Like other sulfur products, this does smell like rotten eggs. The directions say to gentle massage the mask untill it turns a light blue for 2-3 minutes. It took five minutes for it to turn light blue if it ever changed blue. I will never use this junk again unless I wanted the largest cystic pimples of my life back on my face. The price and packaging deserve one lippie but overall I would give this mask a half lippie if it were possible.

This stuff is awful. It made my hair stiff like stray and the smell-Yuck. It smells like cheap cologne. The only thing good about this is the packaging. This is pricey for $12.95.

Liquid -Neutrogena - Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup SPF 20 (2009 formulation)
rated 2 of 5
abril090 11/5/2010 11:07:00 PM

This liquid foundation didnt feel like I was wearing a mask like how other liquid foundations can feel (i.e. Revlon's Colorstay).But I cant comment on the coverage. Why? Because this shade these come in are awful. I tried one of the lightest shades in natural ivory. My face looked pink and darker than it is. This foundation would be alot better if neutrogena offered better shades.It has SPF. Gotta give them credit for that.

Primer/ Corrector -L'Oreal - Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base

This stuff is awesome. It made my liquid foundation stay in place except for oily areas of my face ( cant help it).And it didnt make me break out or dry my skin.This comes in a cute glass jar. I wish this was packaged in a different container though, because it can get annoying scooping this melted marshmallow like texture stuff out of the cute glass jar.Someone else mentioned that, so my review consists of agreeing with them.

Treatments -John Frieda - Root Awakening Strength Restoring Smoothing Lotion
rated 2 of 5
abril090 11/5/2010 10:52:00 PM

I used this product ten times on my thick hair. The first three times I used this my hair was soft.Then after that, it made my hair crunchy and dry. I dont know if my hair dryed out on it's own or because I used this each time I washed my hair. The smell is great. It's minty. So far, there is not a single John Frieda product I would consider repurchasing.
