I had some CVS coupons and thought I'd give it a try. All my eyeliners seemed to go kaput at the same time, so I thought I'd try one, a nice, dark navy blue. I loved my Mac waterproof, but needed to find a cheaper alternative when it ran out. I loved it! It went on easy without primer and stayed all day. So I went out and got the dark plum, loved the colour but it crumbled as soon as I tried it. I couldn't even sharpen it and I tried two different sharpeners. It was a beautiful colour but a bad, bad pencil. I exchanged it and the new pencil is just fine. The wood in the new one was a light golden tan, the defective one was a dark greyish-blue. I would have given the product a 5 if the second pencil hadn't been defective.

Conditioner -L'Oreal - Vive Pro Smooth Intense for Fine Hair
rated 1 of 5

I tried to leave a review for the product made for thick hair, but will add my warning in this forum instead. I bought this thinking it would work as a replacement for the product I used for years and has since been discontinued by L'Oreal. It was the combined shampoo and conditioner and the regular conditioner in the white bottle. I think it was specified for dry and damaged hair. This new shampoo and conditioner was an utter disaster. I have very long silver hair and it turned it brassy yellow, the color of the product and the bottle. It left a horrible build up and would not rinse out fully. I guess I need a white or purple/blue shampoo, and tried the Pantene for silver hair. It took 5 or six washes to remove the yellow build up, but I really miss the old L'Oreal formula. It left my hair silky soft and shiny. I am still looking for a replacement for the old formula. I guess it would be good for someone with dry hair who did not mind the added color enhancement. I gave away my almost full bottles.
