Shampoo -Kevin Murphy - Hydrate Me Shampoo
rated 5 of 5

I don't know how this stuff does it but this shampoo somehow cleans my hair without stripping, soften and moisturize without weighing it down, and somehow detangles my locks without the need of conditioner. it smells good, not great, to me at least and has sleek, unique packaging. I love using this stuff. it's been my favorite shampoo I've used and can see using this and recommending this for a long time.

Hair Styling Tools -Unlisted Brand - Enzo Milano Curling Iron
rated 3 of 5
luisajames 1/10/2013 2:23:00 AM

i like this iron and in general its a pretty good quality product that does what it says. it's fairly easy to use once you get the hang of it and it creates a variety or curls. it comes with a glove and i recommend using it while you get the hang of a tool like this. it gets pretty hot, but not as hot as i would like. still hot enough that i regret losing the glove it came with. i do prefer the paul mitchel clipless xl over this product though and it's less expensive.

Gels/Soaps -Pre de Provence - Brazil Nut Pure Vegetable Soap
rated 4 of 5
luisajames 1/6/2013 3:32:00 AM

i like how this soap lathers and the smell is divine. it's got a chocolatey, nutty scent that isn't overwhelmingly sweet. leaves my skin soft and doesn't dry me out. i've enjoyed this soap in my shower a couple weeks now but i've found that the scent isn't as powerful as it was when i first started using it. bummer but will definitely finish it up.

Makeup Brushes -Sephora - Professional Mineral Powder Brush #45
rated 5 of 5
luisajames 1/6/2013 3:13:00 AM

this is one of my favorite brushes for applying liquid foundation. i've actually never used it with powder but would imagine it provides more coverage than applying with a large fluffy brush. its a great quality brush and never sheds. would definitely recommend.

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - SACHAJUAN Hair Repair
rated 5 of 5

This is a great hair mask. My 2A hair has been really puffy and dry from the cold weather and this makes soft and silky and it smells fantastic. I love the scent, can't say that enough.. Very clean and sophisticated. Not like any other scent I've encountered. Comes in a fantastic pump bottle. Very lovely, simplistic packaging. Great product!

Hair -Unlisted Brand - MACADAMIA NATURAL OIL Deep Repair Mask
rated 3 of 5
luisajames 12/30/2012 12:38:00 AM

this product is ok. it's not the best hair mask but it's not awful. i would use this a lot when my hair was a lot more damaged than it is now and it never really wowed me. it did make my hair a little less puffy and softer but it wasn't a miracle. definitely doesn't compare to moroccanoil hydrating mask and you can find something way better that's less expensive.

Cleansers -Sephora - Cleansing Water
rated 4 of 5
luisajames 12/27/2012 2:56:00 AM

this makeup remover is relatively inexpensive and easily accessible. i love both sizes available, both have great packaging, the large size being a 13.5 pump dispenser bottle. i use this with large cotton rounds and use one to remove the initial makeup and a second round to pick up any residue left behind. it removes makeup very well and doesn't leave my dry skin tight. the only downside is the scent. it's a little strong, but not unbearable. i really prefer and unscented cleansing water, but this is the best i've found that doesn't cost too much.

Styling Products -Bumble & Bumble - Texture
rated 4 of 5
luisajames 11/10/2012 12:21:00 AM

this product is great for adding body and grit to the hair. great for those with naturally soft, limp hair. works great at the root for lift and can be scrunched in for lived in separation

Shampoo -Clairol - Psssssst Instant Spray Shampoo
rated 5 of 5
luisajames 9/9/2012 2:51:00 AM

i can't believe how long i went without trying this after so many dry shampoos i've tried. this product is amazing!! it's provides amazing volume but doesn't make the hair overly powdery or chalky. not too much grit. still keeps hair soft, but just enough texture. the scent is lovely and light and doesn't linger. not the sleekest packaging, but the amazing performance this product gives totally outweighs the silly name and can. please try this before you spend a fortune trying a ton of high end dry shampoos which pale in comparison to this classic.

awful smell, completely ineffective at removing oil, makes hair feel damp and crispy at the root. terrible product. i gave it a fair chance but it just didn't work for me at all.

Hair -Klorane - Dry shampoo
rated 4 of 5
luisajames 9/9/2012 2:42:00 AM

this stuff is nice and light. not as much texture as i like. doesn't give too much volume but some people like that. light scent and no visible cast. pretty expensive for what it is, still a great product.

Shampoo -Kenra - Platinum Dry Shampoo
rated 2 of 5
luisajames 9/9/2012 2:36:00 AM

i felt like this never did anything for my hair. i would spray it but it won't make any difference. the smell was a little strong and fruity, which i usually like in kenra products. wouldn't try it again.

luisajames 9/9/2012 2:33:00 AM

using this product was awful. the scent was terrible and lemony. smelled so strongly of cleaning products. it made my hair feel wet and greasier than it did before. it was disgusting. definitely threw this one away. not recommended to anyone that enjoys good hair.

Shampoo -Suave - Professionals Dry Shampoo Spray
rated 3 of 5
luisajames 9/9/2012 2:29:00 AM

i'm offended they would actually print on the can that this compares to rene furterer dry shampoo but it sold me and i had to try it. it sure doesn't compare to the magic that rene does but it definitely is a good product for the price! you have to use a lot more product than with other dry shampoos and you can't spray it too close otherwise you get more propellents and less powder which make the hair wet. the smell is ok. i can see why people don't like it. but i don't really mind. for 3-4 dollars a can for about 6 oz i don't feel guilty using tons and tons of this product and sharing with the boy. still prefer pssst, but this will do it in a pinch.

yuck. this stuff is awful. it comes out wet! that defeats the purpose of dry shampoo. makes the hair stiff and it looks worse than before. i used this once before i threw it away. awful scent too. for the price, suave and pssst are wayyyy better!
