Moisturizers -Revlon - Eterna 
robinia 3/11/2013 2:10:00 PM
i just love this cream. Make sure that you get the Eterna with Progenitin, the Day cream is different. I'm 63 with the usual parched skin. After the 1st application, my skin immediately looked plumper and more hydrated. And believe me, I've tried enough skin treatments to fill a large bathtub! I just wrote to Revlon's customer service and begged them not to discontinue it. I bought my jar online. I'll be updating as I continue to use this.

Styling Products -Clairol - Herbal Essence Set Me Up Spray Gel
robinia 8/13/2012 10:18:00 PM
This review is for the Herbal Essence gel in a tube, not the spray gel. I have wavy, thick, coarse hair, and summers on the East Coast just pouf my hair up. I tried this gel in the tube, and it humidity proofs my hair, while leaving it soft, shiny, and combable afterwards. I hope that Clairol makes this product through eternity!

Styling Products -Garnier - Garnier Fructis Survivor Tough It Out Glue
robinia 7/20/2012 8:52:00 PM
I have thick, very coarse, wavy hair that soaks up humidity in this heat like a sponge. No matter how often I use the flat-iron, or tons of gel and hairspray, my hair would revert 5 minutes after stepping outside. It would get very poufy, frizzy and wavy. This Garnier Survivor Hair Glue is the only product that controls my hair. It's true that you can't comb your hair after using it, but my hair has stayed so well that I've have only needed a patting down. My hair feels only slightly crunchy, less than with regular gels. My hair stays straight and frizz-free. Today, I went out into a drizzle with no umbrella, and my hair looks the same as after I left the house. I hope that this product is NEVER discontinued!!

I tried this product anticipating good results. Unfortunately, it did nothing for my 60+ skin though it did have a nice texture.

This product worked amazingly well for my dry, coarse frizzy hair. i applied it to my damp hair and then used a blowdryer and a flat iron, and even with all of the high heat, my hair came out feeling like silk with no frizz! And it's so cheap, too!

Conditioner -Queen Helene - Cholesterol Hair Conditioning Cream
robinia 10/1/2011 12:17:00 PM
I loved everything about this except for the scent. I bought the green olive oil cholesterol jar. My hair is colored, porous, wavy and frizzy. I actually bought this at Dollar General for $2.75. I applied this lightly to dry hair, and my hair feels so much softer. I haven't dried on wet hair yet.

Treatments -Garnier - Ultra Lift Pro Gravity Defying Cream
robinia 9/29/2011 1:16:00 AM
At age 61, I've spent so much money on the newest ant-aging products, that I could have solved the national debt crisis. After reading positive reviews, I bought this from Amazon, and I've been using it am and pm for about 5 days. I'm surprised how much brighter my skin looks! ( I'm using this with the Garnier Refresh Foam Cleanser.) I will post again to give an update. My update, the coarse pores on my normal and aging skin have nearly disappeared on my lower cheeks. The Garnier Rescue Foam Cleanser helps as well. I do add a high SPF lotion when the cream dries. This stuff is the best!!

Cleansers -Garnier - Moisture Rescue Fresh Cleansing Foam
robinia 9/29/2011 1:07:00 AM
I like this product, it cleans out my pores without drying my skin. It smells and feels refreshing. I have normal, aging skin.It is thick so it's a little difficult to squeeze out of the tube, but that's not a big deal. I would definitely buy this again!

I haven't tried any Lush products, so I can't speak to their quality, but they are an extremely politicized company; I saw their UK webpage. I prefer to separate purchasing my cosmetics from publically stated political positions.

Concealers -Cover Girl - TruConceal concealer
robinia 9/3/2011 11:10:00 PM
This worked pretty well on my 61 year old skin. I used shade #1 for my pale skin which matched well. The coverage is not opaque, but it skims over the fine lines under my eyes. I'm using it to brighten my naso-labial shadows too. I paid $4.50 for this at a Giant Foods. Not a bad price. I gave it a 4 rather than a 5, because I wish it had more coverage, though maybe that's not fair since heavier coverage for me equals emphasizing lines and dry patches which this concealer doesn't do.

Hair Styling Tools -Conair - conair infiniti wet/dry straightening hot air styler
robinia 9/2/2011 9:57:00 AM
This product worked really well for my hair. My hair is chin length, thick, coarse, colored, and wavy and frizzes in humidity. The packaging on the newer model advices that it's only for short to shoulder length hair. I used it on dry hair that had reverted to wavy overnight. In 10 minutes, my hair was sleek and straight. I paid $25 at a Ross's for this.

Hair -Unlisted Brand - Fantasia - Hair Polisher Heat Protector Straightening Serum
robinia 8/27/2011 9:09:00 PM
I really like this product! I have coarse, heavy porous and wavy hair. I put this on my towel-dried hair and use my flat iron. It is somewhat heavy, but my hair needs heavy to keep the pouf factor at bay. This seems to work better on wet hair.

I have thick, colored, frizzy, wavy, coarse Mediterranean hair. This is the best flat iron I have used on my resistant hair. Honestly, I don't care about the packaging which is ok. This iron leaves my hair shiny, and the results last longer than any other flat iron I've used. it's so nice to find an inexpensive gadget that works so well!
