I smelled all of the Satin Care shave gels and this one smells the best, even better than the floral one. The smell is great and it really left my legs feeling soo silky and smooth.

Shampoo -Clairol - Degunkify
rated 5 of 5

This shampoo smells amazing. It says it is icy pineapple and cotton leaf, and it does not smell like pineapple, it smells really good. I wish Clairol had an herbal essence shampoo that smelled just like this so I could use it everyday. This shampoo is a clarifier meaning it gets rid of product buildup like hairgel in your hair. It got rid of my buildup but left my hair really dry and strawlike. So, then I conditioned my hair with Herbal Essences Hello Hydration conditioner to restore some of the moisture. My hair is shiny, yes still a bit frizzy, but it is clean. I did not feel it tingle my hair, but when I was rinsing I actually saw some of the buildup particles gross!!! My hairdresser noticed my hair gunk and said it was caused by product buildup like hairspray and hairgel. I always put alot of product on my hair since it is frizzy. Well, I was at the store and was looking for a clarifying shampoo. I love the way the Herbal Essences line smells, and remembered there is a degunk shampoo so I decided to try it, and only at a price of $2.97.

Shampoo -Clairol - Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Shampoo
rated 5 of 5
ham1 11/28/2009 10:45:00 PM

I have bought this shampoo many times and love the way it smells, not sweet or anything but clean and like some flower. I always use conditioner after shampooing, it is a must for me since I have frizzy, dry hair. One day I ran out of conditioner and just shampooed my hair, it was really dry. Then again, no matter what shampoo I use, it will be dry unless I follow up with conditioner. I had the matching mousse and hair gel from the Totally Twisted line. I added a few drops of frizz free serum (any kind) and combed it through. Then, I added mousse throught my hair and did not comb it, just scrunched up my hair. I added a small amount of hair gel so my hair wouldnt get stiff and my hair was curled after drying! It wasn't totallly smooth curls but it was shiny and nice! Smelled good too!

Concealers -Rimmel - Recover Concealer

awesome concealer that covers. Very cheap and smells good. I used ivory but it was too light for my beige skin so I used true beige. Works the same as covergirl or maybelline but for a cheaper price!

Liquid -Rimmel - Stay Matte Foundation
rated 4 of 5
ham1 5/23/2007 2:47:00 PM

I had wanted a foundation that was matte, and so I tried this since it said "Stay Matte." I used nude 102 and it easily blended and left my skin super smooth. However, it did not look matte, only natural. If I want foundation that looks natural I will wear this. This is a really good price 3.79 and looks the same as more expensive brands. I will repurchase! P.S. it smells good and not bad like other foundations!

Foundations -New York Color - Smooth Skin Liquid Makeup
rated 5 of 5
ham1 5/23/2007 2:39:00 PM

THis is the original comment I posted on this stuff. (This horrible foundation! I bought this in "True Beige" and it was too dark. It look streaky on my skin, very noticible. It also did not blend well, looked caked on, and felt really greasy. NYC Has really great products, but this foundation is horrid.) I decided to give it another try since it was $2.99. I decided to use a lighter color and choose Natural buff. WOw I was surprised because it matched my skin color really well. Plus, it looked like I have makeup on, something I did not used to like but now I do. I do not really like sheer and this one is thick and good. The same problem I have was that it was hard for me to blend. As for the grease, I soaked it up with loose powder from Covergirl. This color is also similar to Neutrogena true beige, and it has better coverage for a whole lot less. I thought becuase it was cheap it would fail my expectations again, but simply trying another color and using powder makes a huge difference! Yah! I'm rebuying this foundation! : )

Deodorants -Secret - Clinical Strength
rated 1 of 5
ham1 5/21/2007 2:11:00 PM

Yuck! I used this and I still perspired. It was terrible and expensive. THe ingredient is 20% aluminum sirconium trichlorohydrex GLY. Most deodorants are already 20% and you do not need to pay a lot for them. I will stick with Certain Dri and Ban.

Deodorants -Secret - Sparkle Deodorant - Vanilla Sparkle

I smelled this and I was like WOW! It smells really good and sweet, and I LOVE sweet scents. I wore it in the winter and got a nice sweet vanilla scent. However, when it came to hotter days and physical activity, this stuff made my pits reek! I was at the store and smelled something bad, and I was like where is that smell coming from. I smelled myself discreetly when no one was looking! It was coming from me! Ugh never again. I wonder how many other times I wore this without realizing the effects.

Lotions/ Creams -Elizabeth Arden - "Curious" by Britney Spears Deliciously Whipped! Body Souffle
rated 1 of 5
ham1 5/21/2007 1:49:00 PM

I loved Fantasy so I tried this to see if it was as good. I didn't really like Curious body souffle. The consistency was too thin and light for me, but I guess for those who like lotion like that then it is good for you. It did not smell sweet but rather clean and I detected an orange cleaner scent. I like sweet scents but I think it more of a personal choice. Also it didn't leave my hands and skin soft like Fantasy did. I would not repurchase Curious lotion. Update: I think I am allergic to this lotion. It gave me a rash and stings!

Lotions/ Creams -Elizabeth Arden - Britney Spears Fantasy Body Souffle
rated 5 of 5
ham1 5/21/2007 1:44:00 PM

I have been using Fantasy by Britney Spears perfume so I decided to buy the matching Lotion. This is really aswesome. It is more of a thick cream to me but well worth it. I have really dry skin and hands from time to time and I use this stuff and it instantly leaves my skin soft. It is also very heavily fragranced and if I wear it alone I still get compliments on its sweet scent. I wish they would add a body wash too! I have the big 6.8 oz. souffle and it lasts!

Wow! Not only does this condtitioner leave my hair smelling great and it does not strip my hair color. I use alot of it to leave my hair soft and so far it has been working great! The price is really good too; a 32 oz. bottle for under 4 bucks!

When I used it my hair looked fine, but then when it air dried it turned really frizzy. I don't think I will use this one again. I did like the scent though.

Ugh for the price this wasn't worth it. It smelled weird on me. It was just bad. People noticed how bad it was too. This smells plain and dirty. Never again. YUCK.

Lotions/ Creams -Johnson & Johnson - Baby Cream
rated 5 of 5
ham1 3/17/2007 7:35:00 PM

I used the original formula but I wanted something thicker. I bought this and it smells like baby powder except the scent lingers all day and it stronger than the lotion. It made my skin and hands supersoft.
