ATTENTION BRUNETTES! after using this product on my dark brown hair it started turning brassy(redish coppery discoloration) not good. That had never happened before with any serum I've tried. Not with Biolage,organix,garnier,redken,paul mitchelle. Just with this. Yes it does smooth and yes the smell is pleasant but so do lot of other cheaper serums. And those serums dont give you random patches of off color . My hair isnt dyed so it is not color loss. My hair also became more fragile and would snap easily. I dont use any heat on my hair whatsoever and it started happening the month I used this serum. If you want a cheaper better alternitive try organix coconut serum it will smooth better and keep your hair from breaking

Loose Powders -Clinique - Blended Face Powder and Brush
lolitavanilla 12/5/2012 10:19:00 PM
Goes on silky smooth. my skin BREATHES no heavy or chalky feel. lasts a good five hours and you only need a tiny bit for your whole face. It is double what you would pay for a drug store brand but i find that it last me five times longer. With a rimmel or l´oreal I would need to repruchase every month or two using it everyday. With this I have for a whole year! plus no clogged pores no acne. I wear this with a covergirl tinted moisturizer and it feels very light fresh.

Scrubs -Queen Helene - Mint Julep Natural Facial Scrub
lolitavanilla 12/4/2012 12:07:00 PM
This product has balanced my skin and it just looks healthly. It takes a week to start seeing consistant results. It only feels to abrasive if i scrub with a wash cloth but my fingers work just as good so its not a problem. I use this more to loosen up dirt and blackheads rather than just a cleanser by its self. I use this then the purpose gentle cleansing wash. Result deep clean without tighness, dryness or irritation and my skin doesnt start over producing oil fromto much stripping. I think this scrub is better than clinque´s seven day scrub. This scrub would work great for those with dry skin it doesnt over dry.The mint tingle is very relaxing too. With a sally´s beauty club card u can get it for 3.

Fragrances -Avon - Far Away Exotic

This perfume is the perfect blend of womenly feminine and sweet girly. Fragantica.com describes it as ¨The fragrance combines notes of mango, spiced chai and mandarin with the heart of saffron rose, coconut milk and jasmine and the base of patchouli, amber, musk and sandalwood´´. To me when you first spray it on I can smell the sweet fruitiness it is not very strong and just right to not over power the floral notes which are also not over powering just soft feminine beautiful. In the dry down the smell is more powdery with I love, and the musk amber and sandlewood come through. The powderiness is very much like Miss Dior Cherie but only the powderiness. Its a complex perfume with top and basenotes which I was not excpecting from a perfume I got for 11.99 on sale and still very affordable at 20.00. I would by this perfume if it was priced as a deparment store perfume. It is one of my favorite scents and I collect perfumes. The lasting power is 4-5 hours I just had to write so much because it just so lovely.
