LOVE IT! This product makes my hair look like the super shiny healthy hair in tv commercials. To be fair, I already have moderately healthy hair. My hunch is that if you have very damaged hair because you add chemicals or heat to your hair every day then this might not work for you as other reviewers claim as your hair might be too damaged and need something more potent. I do absolutely nothing to my hair except for shampoo and condition it with all natural products and brush it. I don't even blow dry it. My hair is very long all the way to my waist. I only get a few drops(2-4) and rub them on my hands and then rub it on the bottom 3/4 section of my hair(and not near my scalp). I don't wash my hair every day and the next day my hair still looks shiny all day long. I started using it via a free small sample I got from a local natural health store(Natural Grocers but I've seen this at other places such as Whole Foods, Sprouts, Central Market) and due to the price being kind of high and I need so little of it, I have just kept buying samples off of Ebay.

Lip Treatments -Blistex - Deep Renewal

THIS STUFF IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I put this on throughout the day by itself or under lipsticks and lipglosses and it keeps my lips looking soft and plump. It smells great also. It is not sticky or waxy. I just wish they made tinted ones so that I wouldn't have to wear lipstick on top of it.

Eyes -Ardell - Brow & Lash Growth Accelerator Treatment Gel
flor14 9/30/2009 8:42:00 AM
Not sure if they have changed the name recently but what I bought is called Ardell Brow & Lash Growth Accelerator Treatment Gel. ************THIS STUFF WORKS!!!!!!*********** I had been thinking of buying one of those expensive products like Latisse and I am so glad I didn't. At first this product did nothing in terms of growth for me but I kept using it because it made my eyelashes soft. Two months later and I suddenly realized my eyelashes were longer and I had more lashes overall. I had one person at work comment on what long eyelashes I had. I use it about 4 times a week either at nights before going to sleep or during the day on weekend days when I don't wear mascara.

Skincare - Body -Avon - Cellulite Contour Gel
flor14 2/20/2009 8:27:00 AM
This didn't do much for me. My cellulite looked exactly the same.Was too heavy and took forever to absorb. I am posting this review mostly to let everybody know about this fantastic product I just discovered that IS WORKING FOR ME!! It is the Body Shop's Body Focus Cellulite Serum(See my review on it). It started smoothing my skin from day one. I am not exaggerating. I have been using it for about 3 weeks and my cellulite looks about 60% better. I've heard you have to keep using it to keep the cellulite off. That is fine with me. I am constantly spending money on these sorts of things anyways so might as well be on something that is actually working.

This didn't do anything for me. Its just a good moisturizer if anything. I have heard from a couple of people that the Body Shop's Body Focus Stretch Mark Improver works way better. I will try this soon and post my review.

Lotions/ Creams -The Body Shop - Body Focus Cellulite Serum
flor14 2/20/2009 8:19:00 AM
The price for this was $32. ***********THIS STUFF ACTUALLY WORKED FOR ME!!!*********** It immediately started to smooth out my dimpled skin. I have tried many and have reviewed others and none have worked for me like this stuff. I will definately keep using it. The only thing I don't like is that the minty cool tingling lasts for a very long time for me after I've put it on(about 20 mins). This kind of sucks in the winter when its cold because it makes me feel colder, but it might be what is making it work, so oh well. They say you have to keep using this or the cellulite comes back after you stop using it. Well duh!! Your body is probably not going to stop doing whatever it is it was doing to get you to have cellulite in the first place. I don't mind if I have to keep using it to keep it off. I continuously keep on wasting my money of a bunch of other stuff that doesn't even work, so why not spend it on something that is actually working. My recommendation is to exercise a good amount, stop eating fast food, eat healthy and don't drink and smoke so that if you do stop using this product for a while, the cellullite doesnt come back as fast or as strong.

Skincare - Body -Weleda - Birch Cellulite Oil
flor14 2/2/2009 9:27:00 AM
I've gone through 1 bottle and a half and my cellulite looks the same. I am a thin woman with moderate cellulite. I also exercise and do my best at eating right. This stuff smoothes your skin but thats all I've noticed. No firming either. It takes a very long time to absorb and is oily and rubs off on my clothes. I hate that it comes in a heavy glass bottle that I can't take to the gym with me. Very dissapointed :(

Skincare - Body -Murad - Firm and Tone Dietary Supplement Pack
flor14 10/11/2007 9:33:00 AM
PLEASE SEE UPDATE BELOW I gave this product fair reviews because I have not used it long enough to know if it really works or not. I definately cannot take this everyday as recommended b/c its too expensive but I plan to take it every other day for a whole year and then update my review with the results. I have only been using it for a month. I think that it is possible that people who felt an incredible boost in their energy might have been very nutrient deprived beforehand and since this product has tons of nutrients and vitamins, ofcourse it will give you the boost if your body was needing those nutrients so badly(This is just my thought, don't persecute me for it please). I am a moderate health nut and already did all I could possibly do with my hectic lifestyle and already ate lots of the foods that would give you energy so I only felt a slight increase in energy. Ofcourse thats great also, I'll take any extra energy anyday. My main reason for taking this is to see if my moderate cellulite and stretchmarks will get better. I want both absolutely gone. I'll be getting back to you guys in 2008..... ******************** UPDATE Feb 12, 2008: I ended up taking this product way less than I intended, about 1 packet 4 days out of the week(just one packet, either the day pack or night pack, I didn't even take the day and night packs both in one day). Overall, my skin does look more healthy to me and it is my personal opinion that both my cellullite and stretch marks dimished by about 20%. Not bad at all I would say, considering how infrequently I took them. I am about to buy my second box and I am hoping to take it a bit more often to see if it helps out even more but am still planning to only take only one pack(either the day or night one) per day. I will come back and update....... *************************

Conditioner -Bumble & Bumble - thickening conditioner
flor14 5/15/2007 7:17:00 PM
This conditioner does actually thicken my hair considerably. I have been using this for over two years now. I have very long hair and the longer my hair gets, the thinner it gets. I usually have to go get a hair cut for it to look full again. This conditioner really leaves my hair thick and full of body and volume. I usually dab on a big blob at the ends and then just rub in a dime size on the top of my hair. This conditioner also moisturizes my hair quite well. I will continue to purchase it as long as they make it!!

I was very dissapointed with the low review this product got. I LOVE THIS STUFF!! Yes it does look like Vaseline and yes it has caused me to break out when I was using it at nights and then slept with it on. So I started to use it only on the weekends at home as a 'repair the damage' treatment. This product really makes my fine lines and wrinkles dissapear. It is truly an anti-aging product. After just a couple of uses my skin is more cushioned and plump and my skin seems to be improving with time. Overall, if a product can make you look so much younger, I think it deserves all the high scores in the world, regardless of the workarounds you have to do to make it work. I do think if you have very oily skin this product is probably not for you because it is heavy.

Mascara -Isadora - express star lash mascara
flor14 9/9/2004 7:11:00 AM
UPDATE September 2008: I can no longer find this product at my local Walgreens. Anyone know if its sold anywhere or even online? I miss this product :( This is the best mascara ever for its price, and I have tried many. Leaves my eyelashes thick and noticeable. Problem is that it is hard to find. Walgreens has them sometimes. Help finding them anyone? UPDATE: STILL USING THIS NOW FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW. IT IS STILL AWESOME AND MY LASHES HAVE ACTUALLY GOTTEN LONGER AND THICKER. I do see the point that some people make about them buying a dry bottle. Its a hit and miss. It has happened to me too. Sometimes I get a really dry and kind of empty bottle and have to heat it up a while and just make the best of it. Sometimes I get lucky and get a nice wet full one. It sucks when I get the 'miss' but I will continue to buy this stuff because who else can claim to actually thicken and make your eyelashes longer over time?

This cream left me feeling like a goddess. I can feel my skin super soft but most importantly you can even see it glow. It really does feel like its repairing my skin just like the package says. Worth the money.

Moisturizers -Zia - Citrus Night Time Reversal

If anyone follows my comments they can tell I have tried a lot of Zia products :) Well this product really does turn back the hands of time. My skin looks and feel renewed in the morning. I feel radiant. But I must warn that it does very very slightly irritate my skin at times so I would probably not recommend it for sensitive skin.
