Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Naked Palette
lizindallas 5/6/2013 9:26:00 PM
Well, I held out a long time since I don't wear eyeshadow all the time... I go thru phases of wearing it... but I had a 15% off coupon last month and I finally pulled the trigger and got this pallette... and as already noted many, many times... it's totally worth it. Beautiful colors... they stay put! (Imagine that)... I love it. I've worn it every day since I received it in the mail.... You won't be disappointed....

Conditioner -Suave - Keratin Infusion Leave-In Conditioner
lizindallas 3/2/2013 9:44:00 PM
I love this stuff. I've been using it for several months and now all of the sudden... I can't find it on the shelves anywhere???? I went onto Suave's website today and it's still on there... so I'm going to keep looking and when I find it, I will buy all that they have.... They can't discontinue it THIS soon right??? This stuff makes my hair very manageable and is SO cheap. I love it.

Hair Color -Clairol - Nice 'n Easy - Root Touch Up
lizindallas 1/23/2013 7:08:00 AM
Great product. Very easy to use. It does cover my greys and they are very difficult to cover. It extends my expensive salon visits for 3 weeks also. I do need to leave on the light brown for 30 min to cover the grey - but it works better than the other home dye I tried and left on just as long. I highly recommend!

Mascara -L'Oreal - Extra Volume Collagen mascara
lizindallas 1/12/2013 3:30:00 PM
I think this is a great mascara. I was just about to start buying Lancome which is more than twice the cost, but decided to try this as I had previously purchased one and wanted to use what I had before I bought more... and it turns out that it works great! I use Urban Decay lash primer first and that does make a difference on length. And then afterward, I used a clean mascara wand to comb out any clumps. Comes out perfect. I will definitely continue to use as it's a great mascara at a good price!

Conditioner -Living Proof - Restore
lizindallas 1/4/2013 10:06:00 PM
I really like this shampoo and conditioner set. My hair has been damaged from years of highlighting and blow drying. I have been using this set recently and truly feel a difference. My hair feels significantly softer. The price for each is ridiculous and I am not sure I'll be using them again any time soon as I just can't justify the cost. I'll at least alternate with my L'Oreal Sulfate Free Ever Pure Moisturizing stuff because that stuff rocks and is WAAAAY cheaper. But overall, I still give both the shampoo and condition for Living Proof's Restore line two thumbs up!

Styling Products -Kerastase - Nectar Thermique
lizindallas 12/15/2012 10:00:00 PM
I received this in my December Birchbox as well and tried it today for the first time. I did blow dry my hair after applying it as usual and my hair feels and looks really amazing. It is expensive but assuming it works this well I use it (I received two sample packets and used half of one today) - then I will definitely buy it...

Styling Products -Pantene - Silky Moisture Whip
lizindallas 9/11/2012 9:30:00 PM
I think this stuff is great. I blow dry my hair almost every day - my hair is brown but higlighted heavily and gets frizzy VERY easily. I have tried ridiculously expensive high end products, low end products and everything in between. I now use Suave leave in conditioner with keratin protein, a little Living Proof No Frizz smoothing creme and then Pantene Moisture Whip when it is part way dry and then blow dry - and seriously? My hair looks amazing. This Moisture Whip has made all the difference. The combo of the three is great - but I've used the others in the past without nearly this much success. I will buy several next time I buy it so that I don't run out. The key for me is not using too much.... great job Pantene.

Eyeliner -Urban Decay - 24/7 Eyeliner Pencil
lizindallas 8/20/2012 8:42:00 PM
I bought one of these eyeliners the other day at Sephora when I lost my usual Sephora brand liner. For some reason, I had it in my head that it was an Urban Decay pencil I was using - well of course I promptly found the Sephora pencil later that day but for last power, this Urban Decay eyeliner ROCKS. It blows the Sephora long lasting liner away !! In fact, I've never found another eyeliner that lasts like this. I wish the color I bought was in a smaller pencil to line the eyes more easily but I'll buy it again and also get more colors !!! GREAT job Urban Decay !

Lipstick -NARS - Sexual Healing
lizindallas 8/20/2012 8:33:00 PM
I am surprised to see such negative reviews. I bought this lipstick on a whim the other day and I LOVE it. The color is slightly peachy, but it stays on really nicely (which is a ridiculously difficult trait to find in lipsticks!!!) and it looks really nice. And I do not like peach colors on me, but this isn't all THAT peachy, only slightly. But I use a light pink lip pencil first and that balanced it out. I will definitely buy this lipstick again - although as this is the first NARS lipstick I've ever tried, I might see what other colors they have as well. It's the lipstick itself that I like even more than the color !

Moisturizers -Ole Henriksen - Truth Creme Advanced Hydration
lizindallas 8/18/2012 1:27:00 PM
I admit that I only just bought this as part of a trial size pairing with the truth serum just yesterday. I tried them out only last night and then this morning. The truth serum feels great. But then when you put this moisturizer over it - YUCK. The smell is AWFUL. And last night it made me feel SO greasy and stunk so badly that I had to wash it all over and use a different moisturizer. I left it on this morning since I wasn't going anywhere and while the awful smell is still there, my skin looks too shiny but yet kind of nicely bright also. So I might update this review after continued use - I will give it a good try to see if it does work. But if it doesn't work quickly, I will ditch it. The smell is beyond awful.

Styling Products -John Frieda - Full Repair Perfect Ends Deep Infusion
lizindallas 5/27/2012 9:14:00 AM
I tried this from a sample in a magazine also and it really did work well enough that I am definitely going to buy it - they included a great coupon as well ! But I'd buy it without a coupon. I do not like most serums and have only recently found the Kerastase Fibre Architect which is HG all the way - but it's really expensive. If I can find something that works in a similar way for a fraction of the cost? I will be a devoted fan.... I will have to buy it and then update this review after really have a chance to try it out.

Treatments -Kerastase - Fibre Architecte
lizindallas 5/19/2012 2:47:00 PM
I too bought this one after reading the great reviews on here - and it's true - this is one amazing product. I had alot of blonde highlights put into my light mousey brown hair last summer. I have done that many times over the past 25 years but I guess due to my age? and too much bleach and too hot a blow dryer - my hair started breaking and got pretty dry. I have been using tons of hair repair treatments, taking biotin and vitamins, tried many serums and oils, but not until getting this did I finally find something to at least make ALL of my hair look actually HEALTHY again. I realize the damaged sections still need to grow out and/or be cut out (no way) - but it truly makes my hair look beautiful. The only two problems I have with it are the packaging and the price. You really can't tell how much is left in the bottle. I used the entire container in about 3 to 4 weeks! Yes, I have long hair (between shoulder blades) but I had to use 4 pumps per usage. I had no idea I was almost out until one day it just pumped out nothing! So I actually cracked open the entire container and seriously those tubes - the white and green ones ? - were DRY. How could that be? was all that serum only in the TOP section and those things just a decoy to make you think there is product in there ??? And the price. Yeow. And yes of course I will buy it again. In fact, I should do that when I finish typing this! lol. But $41 for three weeks ? I could get a keratin treatment to last 3 months and it would average out to less if I used a groupon.. But those two issues aside - I am still giving this one a top rating because this truly IS an HG product. (BTW, I bought the Cimente Thermique to go along with it and in my opinion? it's not remotely necessary. I've used CT in the past alone and think that the FA works way better without it... I'd rather spend my money on two bottles of FA than one of each!)

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara
lizindallas 4/14/2012 9:21:00 AM
I just had to add my two cents on this one. Who is Maybelline paying off to get such great reviews in magazines for so many years?? This is not a good mascara, it's the worst one I personally have ever tried. I guess it's great that it works for someone out there... but definitely not me...

Shampoo -L'Oreal - EverCreme Intense Nourishing
lizindallas 2/5/2012 9:54:00 PM
LOVE it. I just wrote a long review about both the shampoo & condition for the EverCreme Intense Nourishing line. I love them. I agree that they give as good if not better results that the many, many expensive salon products I've used...
