My hair are thin and not terribly frizzy or anything, so I thought that this product would banish the frizz completly. Well... it does nothing. Or close. I use it before brushing and my hair detangles slightly better,but not as good as after gliss kur. Frizz is maybe slighty smaller and if I use too much product I loose all the volume. Really, nothing special and for this money it should be at least ok.

Skincare - Body -Johnson & Johnson - Gel Baby Oil

This is the most moisturizing stuff ever! I use it on wet skin, rinse, wipe rest with towel and my skin is perfectly moisturized! I just have to be careful with wiping it as if I leave oily spot it will make my hair and/or clothes oily. One thing is really worrying for me-its all paraffin (mineral oil) I know it can clog pores badly... It didn't happen yet but I would prefer similar product but based on some non clogging oils-do you know any? As for now I use it all the time and my skin was never better=) (I previusly used garnier, palmers, nivea etc)

I expected more from this company. Ingredients list looks ok so i don't know why I don't see any good results for my skin. It absorbs quickly-nice, leave no smell-nice, and then-nothing special. My skin is not dry but not as moisturized as with baby oil used on a wet skin and wiped with towel. And its more expensive so why be bothered?

Powder -Shiseido - Sun Protection Compact Foundation
lulubongo 7/20/2011 8:33:00 AM
I love this product. Its so easy to apply! I just dab a little(If you use to much it looks bad) with a sponge provided. It has very natural looking colors-you can even dare to go darker than you are. It does look matte but only a bit and If I use vichy aqualia antiox under it, my face look gorgeously glowing. It doesn't clog my pores or cause allergy it covers discolorations (like allergy) quite well and stays on my face for long. And it has SPF that doesn't cause allergic reaction (most on them does it for me). Disadvantages: -expensive (and you can never but it really cheap even on e-bay) -doesn't last long one compact is finished in less than 2 months -packaging is really ugly

Tinted Moisturizer -BeneFit Cosmetics - You Rebel

This product is OK (nothing more) but there are hundreds better (for me the best for summer make-up with spf is shinseido compact). This tinted moisturizer doesn't moisturize my skin enough so I use it over vichy nutrilogie 2. I like the color- it is not orange but quite dark and looks really good on my skin in summer. When I burn and I'm red it masks it well enough. It stays on my skin for whole day even if I sweat. The finish is not matte -rather the opposite so If you don't like shine its not for you. It didn't clog my pores or anything but I think it might be harsh for your skin as it tingles a bit

Moisturizers -Vichy - Aqualia Antiox

It's suprisingly a very nice product. My very dry, allergic and breakout prone skin is very happy with it. It is very moisturising and feels nice on skin. It is not make up! But it somehow makes you look slightly better.. It gives nice glowing finish. I don't really like matt finish, but of course I don't want to shine neither! Therefore this one is perfect for me if I use solid foundation/powder (I love it under my shinseido compact sun protection foundation). And when I have a good day I dare to wear it without makeup at all

Treatments -Aveda - Brilliant Damage Control Spray
lulubongo 6/23/2011 6:40:00 PM
This spray is soooo SHIT it does nothing at all, no smell, no hydration, no shine, barely if at all detangle and even looks ugly. For this price I would expect something exeptional but I've never seen worst. At least it does't harm hair... Cheap gliss from schwarzkopf, l'oreal or even complete no-names from your local supermarket are way better
