Conditioner -Live Clean - (Exotic Nectar) Restorative Conditioner
iluvboyz 5/11/2010 2:59:00 PM
Exotic Nectar Restorative Shampoo gently cleanses while restoring natural shine and lustre. The conditioner hydrates and nourishes without adding any excess weight. Enriched with 100% pure Argan Oil and certified organic grape seed and olive oils for enhanced long term conditioning, shine and UV protection. My experience with this is its a great conditioner for my long bleached blonde hair that needs moisture! I love it and I'm so glad I discovered this at my local Wal-Mart. Smells amazing and delivers on my hair needs which are moisture, softness, shine and smoothness! Great conditioner!!

Shampoo -Live Clean - (Exotic Nectar) - Argan Oil Restorative Shampoo
iluvboyz 5/11/2010 2:56:00 PM
I came across this at my local Wal-Mart for under 5 dollars. I was shocked to see all the amazing ingredients in this product. I have long bleached blonde hair that needs care. The product itself is so gentle on my hair and smells amazing. Cleans my hair well it still moisturizes. The bottle claims that its enriched with 100% pure Argan Oil and certified organic grape seed and olive oils for enhanced long term conditioning, shine and UV protection. I really like it and will stick to it! I have tried tons of hair products high end and low and this it right up there with high end products!

Mascara -Bourjois - Volume Glamour Ultra Care mascara
iluvboyz 3/25/2010 6:14:00 PM
What it claims: Ultra volume for sensitive eyes Its ultra volumising formula coats lashes from root to tip and protects them against harsh external factors (pollution, rubbing, air conditioning). Enriched with regenerating and nourishing cotton and sweet almond oils, it has been specially formulated for sensitive eyes. Its brush that applies so softly thanks to its rounded shape and ultra-soft fibres, gently coats lashes to build volume without clumping. Result: after only 3 weeks of use, lashes are visually stronger and more resistant, as if nourished from within I have been using this mascara for the past month and I have fallen in love with it. The color of this mascara is pitch intense black. Gives my lashes volume and length. This mascara is awesome for my super sensitive eyes! The only downside to this mascara is it does start to smudge a bit at the end of the day and flakes a tiny little bit. I can totally put up with it because this mascara is amazing. I bought this off ebay two for 10 dollars. Bourjois honestly has amazing mascaras. I will always stick with them!:)

Eye Shadow -Wet 'n' Wild - Color Icon #252B Nutty
iluvboyz 3/25/2010 6:07:00 PM
My local Wal-Mart has been sold out of this forever! I picked this up and there was only one on the shelf. This color is absolutely drop dead gorgeous. I wore it the first time today with MAC black fluidline and it looks amazing on. Everyone has already described the color and the texture is amazing. I can't believe that was under $4 dollars. I did put my UDPP on before hand. Get this!

Bronzers -Hard Candy - So baked bronzer- Heat Wave
iluvboyz 3/5/2010 10:42:00 AM
I was ecstatic when I saw this at Wal-Mart when I went cross border shopping. I tried on all four bronzers and I ended up liking Heat Wave the best. It's also the darkest shade. This goes on a beautiful warm gold bronze color. There is no red and no orange tones. Gives the skin a nice glow. Goes on very smooth and lasts all day. I love the packaging and love the product itself. It was $9 bucks. I noticed how each product of Heat Wave was slightly different. Some had more gold stripes in it. I doubt this would effect the outcome.

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Organic Root Stimulator - Replenishing Pak
iluvboyz 3/5/2010 10:24:00 AM
I can't find this anywhere in Canada. I went cross border shopping and this is everywhere! Family Dollar, CVS, Target, and Wal-Mart. This is intended for African American hair. I have long platinum blonde hair that can be very damaged. I thought why not give this a try! I bought a couple packs for like 3.00(each one being 1.30). I left this on for an hour with a shower cap. The first thing I notice is how THICK the conditioner is. Its so thick and creamy and doesn't run out of my hands. One pack will last for two uses. When I washed this off my hair I really noticed that this is a HEAVY DUTY conditioner meaning it really coats your hair. You really need to make sure you wash this out of your hair. I rinsed for like 5 minutes opposed to other conditioners I rinse my hair for like 2 minutes. This made my hair super soft, super shinny,super smooth and bouncy still. My only issue is I need to rinse it a little more because the back at the bottom of my hair and ends feel slightly coated. Not terrible were if someone felt my hair they would go hair product, but just noticeable to me. I would recommend this to people who need extra help with their hair. I love this and can't believe how cheap this is. Next time I will buy like 5 or 6 packs.

Masks -Peter Thomas Roth - Therapeutic Sulfur Masque
iluvboyz 3/5/2010 10:11:00 AM
I had tried the Proactiv sulfur face mask and loved the results it gave me. That has 6% sulfur so I thought what could 10% sulfur do for my skin! At first I was afraid that this mask would really dry out my skin because the Proactiv mask does. The first time I used this I only left it on for 10 minutes, washed it off, and then dabbed the mask on a couple spots. This mask is amazing for my skin. It really helps tighten my pores and refine my skin. It also shrinks or completely eliminates any pimples that pop up. The second time I used this I left it on for 20 minutes. I was shocked that this doesn't dry out my skin like the 6% Proactiv Sulfur mask does. I bought this off of ebay for 35 dollars including shipping which is cheaper than at sephora. It is a TON of money but it will last forever because you don't need a lot of product. I would definitely recommend this. I still use the Proactiv mask and like it. They are both really effective masks.

Treatments (Eye) -Promaxyl - Eyelash Renewal serum Rapidlash
iluvboyz 2/6/2010 6:38:00 PM
What girl doesn't want longer thicker eyelashes? I'm very fair which means my eyelashes are long but medium blonde and not very thick. I have used rapid lash on and off for about a month or two. I can't use it every night because my eyes get too sensitive. If I do put this on I usually put a little on and let it dry for about an hour before bed. A couple nights I didn't let it dry and it got into my eye, my eyes were red and a little puffy. I use this about 3 times a week. I didn't really notice a difference until my left eyelashes toward the outer corner of my eye where there never was hair(when I was younger like 10 or 11 I cut my eyelashes!!Stupid I know, its not notice able unless you get real close) I started to have four eyelash hairs there and they were beautiful and long. This really conditions my eyelashes and I have fewer fall out when I take my make up off. I have read that caster oil is suppose to be amazing and just be as good as rapid lash. I still have a lot left of my product which was SUPER EXPENSIVE! I paid 50 dollars...I guess its worth it because I notice a difference. To sum this up, this will give you length and maybe a couple new hairs BUT don't expect this to give you super thick, dark false eyelashes girls!! I don't know if I will purchase again because I want to give the caster oil a try.

Lip Gloss -NYX - Mega Shine Sugar Pie
iluvboyz 2/6/2010 6:00:00 PM
I have tried quite a few of the NYX glosses and I have to say that sugar pie is my favorite. I would describe this color as a pale milky pink nude. Makes my lips look super full and shiny. The smell of this is a sweet cherry scent. I had a couple of my guy friends and girl friends smell this and they all said yum. Its a soft smell. Doesn't dry out my lips and last all day. Does tend to go a little bit streaky but nothing the lip gloss wand can't fix. I think I paid 6 or 7 dollars. Love this gloss and it looks wonderful on my coloring(tanned w/ blonde hair). Looks great with dramatic eye make up or just a natural look too. If you love NYX glosses give this a try. As with any lip gloss/lipstick I always dab a bit of concealer on my lips before hand just because my lips are so pigmented!

Treatments -Joico - K-Pak Intense Hydrator
iluvboyz 2/5/2010 3:29:00 PM
I am slightly obsessive about Joico's K-pak line. I love their shampoos, conditioners, reconstructor, and now this. I have long platinum blonde hair that needs to be cared for. This does an amazing job at moisturizing my hair without weighing it down. Leaves it soft as silk and shinny. Smells amazing too. My mom who also has platinum blonde hair that can be dry loves this too.

Bronzers -Bonne Bell - Gel Bronze Luminous Glow
iluvboyz 2/2/2010 6:13:00 PM
This is oil free and doesn't clog pores. Claims to give a luminous glow. I mixed about a pea sized amount with my foundation and put a little extra on my cheeks. This does give a beautiful dewy look to my face. Doesn't give me any shimmer or glitter just a beautiful glow. Love this. I would say this enhances a tan but just gives a glow rather than a bronzed look. Bought this for under 5 bucks, an amazing product.

Polishes -OPI - Coney Island Cotton Candy
iluvboyz 1/26/2010 5:30:00 PM
All the other reviewers have stated what color this is. On my hands it just makes them look clean and polished. A very nice natural nail polish when you still want to make a statement but not aloud one. Gives a nice glossy finish and makes nails look very healthy!:)

Blush -NARS - Silvana
iluvboyz 1/25/2010 5:55:00 PM
I'm on the fence about Silvana. I really wanted to try this after I loved deep throat and even more loved sertao. The picture for this up above is so beautiful. It looked like it would be the perfect natural blush on me. I would agree that this is a coral brown color like the reviewer below me says. Sometimes it shows up reddish brown on my skin tone. Also the texture of my blush is sort of hard. Like I really have to get my blush brush in there, maybe I got a bad one? I thought the texture would be smooth,silky, and pigmented just like deep throat and sertao are. Oh well, I will fool around with this some more to get to like it because it cost a lot of money! Update: Used this today and I must say I'm bumping this up to a 4. It's a beautiful warm coral/brown tanned shade. Definitely looks like a bronzer on not a blush. I do wish the texture was silker. I actually took my eyebrow brush and swept over it a couple times to loosen up the blush. This seemed to work. Also looks nice as an eyeshadow. Gives a very natural bronze look. :)

Blush -MAC - Trace Gold
iluvboyz 1/25/2010 5:46:00 PM
My lovely friends bought me a gift certificate for my birthday so I decided to pick this little gem up! I wanted a natural blush/bronzer shade that didn't look too fake or harsh. I wear NW35 foundation and this shade looks really nice on me and still shows up. Mac's website describes this as a Fairylight gold with shimmer (Sheertone Shimmer). This does make me look more tanned and enhances my cheek bones but does it in a more natural way. This will give you that beautiful glow on your cheeks. I love it. I swear it is very similar to Nars Sertao(which is my favorite blush in the WHOLE world). I think maybe Trace Gold is a little more on the gold side and Sertao is more on the brown side. They both have the same glow effect. Trace gold lasts all day on me, doesn't fade or wear off. I'm really happy with my purchase. I also wear this as a eyeshadow.
