nothing special about this lotion. Supposed to control shine and greasy skin, but doesnt. It is just an average light moisturizer.. any brand would do the same. wont buy it again.

love this conditioner. Makes my hair super soft and shiny, really nice smell, definetely for dry or damage hair. Every time i use it, i feel my hair softer and healthier in comparison with my l'oreal conditioner. very moisturizing for damaged hair, recommend it.

Bronzers -MAC - Mineralize Skinfinish in Give Me Sun!
rated 4 of 5

love this color.. I was using Hoola by benefit for over a year, until i discover this new mineralize bronzer from mac. I love the color and finish. Unlike hoola, you can wear give me sun as an allover bronzer, not only contour. It gives you a beautiful toasted color, without being too orange or brown. Make you look alive and radiant. Love it, i will buy an extra one.. recommend it. staying power? not so great.

Blush -NARS - Deep Throat
rated 4 of 5
latina72 2/6/2013 3:23:00 AM

i am a Nars blush girl now! i recently purchased deep throat nars blush and im in love with it. I have tons of mac blushes and i have to say, none of the mac blushes gives me the "super smooth finish" that nars is famous for... I didnt undestand why nars is so popular with their blushes, now i do, is not the color, is the finished look, make your skin look smoother and more even, radiant.. Deep Throat is not too glittery, its more pearly than chunky glitter, dont be scare to try it. My only con is the color, its a little bit pale for my taste. Im a NC30 and need to build up a little to make it pop. I will definetely try more nars blushes.. Amour and Dolce vita are on my list.

Skincare - Face -DDF - Glycolic 10% Exfoliating Oil Control Gel
rated 5 of 5

in love with thiis product. I started using ddf glycolic moisturizing lotion 10%. but turned out to be on the greasy side, so i exchange it for the gel. 10% glycolic gel comes with salicylic acid as well and so far, gave me a positive glow while fighting my acne prone skin. No break outs, erasing the past scars and giving a glow the next morning. My skin is so soft. love it.

Treatments (Eye) -DDF - Nourishing Eye Cream
rated 2 of 5
latina72 10/21/2012 11:59:00 PM

nothing special, nice moisturizing eye cream that doesnt help with basically nothing.. either wrinkles, dark circles, puffiness or anything else, just moisture and smooths the fine eye area. Any other brand will match this one. a little expensive for nothing special.

Moisturizers -DDF - UV Moisturizer SPF 45
rated 4 of 5
latina72 10/21/2012 11:57:00 PM

Im really pleased and happy with the performance of DDF products. Afters years of window shopping, i decided to give them a chance and what a pleasant surprise, cause they all good. a) DDF salicylic acid wash, really nice cleanser leaving my skin so deep cleaned and helping with my moderate acne. b) DDF brightening cleanser, is the BOMB! I love this product, is not targeted for acne or breakouts, but is really helping with my existing pimples, within days!! there all gone. It comes with salicylic acid as well. Overall appearance is smoother, glowing, much better! in only 5 days. c) glycolic 10% moisturizer.. OMG!!! totally in love with this night cream. again, is not targeted for acne skin types, but is not greasy, smooths my skin, dry out pimples, and next morning you will wake up with a new glowing, rested, pretty face.. just one day and you will see a difference!! d) DDF spf 45 moisturizer... is ok. I need something to protect my hyperpigmented cheeks (after my pregnancy) and this will do the job. A little expensive but does the job. Not greasy, moisturize and spf 45 in one steep is a plus. Other brands can be as effective as this one.

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Nerium AD
rated 3 of 5
latina72 10/19/2012 5:31:00 PM

I dont understand the excitement about this product. I've been using it for more than a month, and cant see anything special. My skin is exactly the same, same pimples, same hyperpigmentation, same texture, same old skin. Im not willing to pay around 100.00 for a bottle of a serum, that doesnt do any improvement. bye bye nerium. ps,, bottle is not a good design, is impossible to know when the product is going to run out.

Shampoo -Nexxus - Therappe Shampoo
rated 1 of 5
latina72 3/9/2012 5:31:00 AM

ATTENTION: all good reviews were posted before 2010.. that means, those reviews correspond to the old nexxus formula!!! Ive had used this conditioner for more than 6 years, but in 2009-2010 Nexxus changed the fomula, and now is just an average conditioner.. Is not as great as it used to be, so disappointed that the formula is completely different and cheaply reformulated. This new formula conditioner does nothing beyond any cheap drugstore conditioner. is basically crap! i heard there is a very similar to the old formula, also from nexxus "phyto organics humectin".. i will try it and update later.. ok. noooooooooooo! it is just another average conditioner! dont even spend your money in humecting trying to find a substitute to your old favorite humectress. I even wrote to them, complaining for substituting such a great, extremely effective product to a crappy one! what a shame! I was in a mission to find a replacement for my HG humectress conditioner, and the best so far is "Tigi-catwalk honey and oatmeal conditioner" is really moisturizing and gives me a similar (not exactly) effect than my discontinued old formula humectress. Shiny, smooth, strong hair, with a touch of volume. Make it look really healthy when is not! Try it if you are unhappy with new humectress!

Shampoo -Johnson & Johnson - Baby Shampoo
rated 5 of 5
latina72 2/24/2012 2:22:00 AM

love this product!! this is a gentle and effective cleanser for my acne prone skin. In addition with mia clarisonic has made a real difference in my skin for good. Love this cleanser, it actually removes mascara and make up better than the expensive products and doesnt sting in your eyes!!. Recommend it to everybody. baby shampoo can be use for multiple purpose, my husband for his hair in the shower, I clean up my face, and my little baby uses as shampoo and shower gel.... great product!

Misc Beauty Tools -Clarisonic - Mia
rated 4 of 5
latina72 2/24/2012 2:12:00 AM

Attention: people with cystic acne!!! UPDATE: July 2012: after almost a year of using my MIA i have to confess that is the best tool i have found to fight my cystic pimples. Just this month, i got 4 FOUR!! cystic pimples in my chin, and after using my technique with MIA applying mia on the pimples as soon as you can feel them forming under your skin, my FOUR pimples dissolved inside before coming out to the surface. Is not like they are not there anymore, but they never made it to be noticeable and they are smaller and disappearing after 4 days of MIA treatment. I LOVE IT!! I just found this is my secret weapon for cystic acne.. Like a lot of people i suffer from cystic acne specially in the chin area. Normally takes weeks! for the pimple to form and come out, developing a huge volcano size red bump, and finally a horrible deep scar. I just discover that if i use the clarisonic mia as soon as i feel the pimple forming down inside my skin, for about 3-4 minutes on the affected area, the pimple disolves inside, even before getting red and bumpy. I repeat the process for about 4 days, one or twice a day, without rubbing, poking, putting ice, heat patches, anything... just leave it alone and use clarisonic very light... its wonderful, pimples never come out, disappear inside and nobody will see them ever... isnt great???!! try it! even with one pimple this tool can prevent, is worth it.. I paid around 85 dlls for mine, but im so glad is helping me now. On top of that, really smooths your skin, and make it look better in general. Loooove it!

Liquid -Shiseido - Sun Protection Liquid Foundation SPF 42 PA+++
rated 4 of 5
latina72 2/8/2012 2:19:00 AM

I am in love with this foundation. For years, i have been the woman in the search of the perfect foundation, and this one is so far, the best i have ever tried. I have almost all types of mac foundations, estee lauder two of them, drugstore brands, american beauty, clinique, and much more... this is the best! Love the fact that comes with spf 40. It has a light texture, almost like watery, but covers really good and is buildable; the yellow undertone suits my skin color. If you like double wear by estee lauder, you will loooove this one, the finish is a bit similar, but much better texture, color, and glow finish plus spf40 make this foundation ideal for summer time. recommend it.
