I think it is so hard to tell what is working and what isnt when i am using no less than 5 or 6 products on a day. But this seems to be a pretty reliable, yummy smelling gel. i have that dry curly hair that is so high maintanence. this does a pretty good job of keeping things soft, shiny and looking like hair instead of a chemistry experiment gone rather bad.

Scrubs -C.O. Bigelow - Fruit Extract Body Scrub
jessikanikole 9/8/2006 11:36:00 AM
this stuff works really good, smells really good, and smooths really well. it is certainly a bit expensive, but it does a nice job. it is not one that melts while you are using it. it also does not leave you oily, just soft.

Lotions/ Creams -LUSH - Lemony Flutter

i really like this stuff, and it is a good escape for those who, like myself, are trying to get away from the body shop. but i put this on under the gloves for the night and everything looks a lot better in the morning. i think if i did it every night that my hands would look perfect, but i am too lazy for that. but when i start noticing that my hands need some love and put this on, they are grateful.

This comes in really pretty colors, but it is sticky, and does somehow also manage to slide all over the lips.

This is real lipstick. It is substantial, and really feels like you are putting something on your lips, and has some staying power. There is just something nice about putting something on your lips that has some gravitas. It reminds me of the lipstick that my mom had when i was a little girl, that i liked to get into and pilfer.

Lotions/ Creams -The Body Shop - Almond Oil Daily Hand & Nail Cream
jessikanikole 2/28/2006 8:01:00 AM
a little expensive, but it does a nice job. it also smells really nice. an addendum: the body shop is now owned by l'oreal- animal testing subterfuge, owned in large part by nestle: actively promoting infant formula to impoverished nations. those who shopped body shop for their ethics should go elsewhere- i am.

Lotions/ Creams -Jason Natural Cosmetics - Natural E.F.A. Hand and Body Lotion
jessikanikole 2/28/2006 7:58:00 AM
this is a great lotion, at any price. it is also a great value. one thing i like about it is that it is not sticky. it is not a hand treatment, it is an everyday lotion. really, you can spend a lot more and get a lot less.

Styling Products -A/G - Recoil Curl Activator
jessikanikole 12/17/2005 12:12:00 PM
I think that this does a great job for my curly hair. i actually havent found anything that makes my hair look better. not crunchy, unless you put in too much. not sticky. i dont find it to be hard to distribute if you scrunch it in. also really nice that not tested on animals update: i still like this, but you really have to be sparing, otherwise it will be crunchy

Treatments -Burt's Bees - avocado hair treatment
jessikanikole 11/13/2005 12:01:00 PM
I like this stuff. (me: long naturally curly) First. of all it smells really, really good. The texture is no more difficult to manage than any thick pomade. Mostly i use it as such. But i also like to mix it with leave in treatments for extra richness and to help with bad-smelly ones.
