Shampoo -Redken - Smooth Down
whitesoxrock 7/4/2012 8:26:00 PM
My hair type is moderately thick, dry, damaged, wavy. Might I add, it's at the long hair don't care stage, so I'm not expecting any miracles in the damage repair department. However, I bought this shampoo on a recommendation for long hair, and while I don't think it was made for that, I do like it. It smells good - elegant I'd say. The cleansing quality is okay though; I feel like it moisturizes the scalp but does not cleanse as well. That being said, I have my mom's "dandruff curse," so honestly nothing dandruff shampoo works for it. Anyway, I think my hair type is made for more damaged/dry types than frizzy, like Redken Extreme. Though this is my fault for refusing to get my hair trimmed and straightening once a week. Do try it out I you don't abuse your hair like me :)

Scrubs -Clean & Clear - Morning Burst Facial Scrub
whitesoxrock 2/4/2012 10:03:00 PM
Horrible. Do yourself a favor and make a promise to never buy this. I admit, I don't have the most genetically blessed skin out there, but I take care of it with masks, sunscreen, regular facials, etc. This broke me out like it was nobody's business. I can't seen to get rid of the zits for the life of me. I bought this on a whim just because I needed a face wash, never again will I make that mistake. my once soft cheeks are left parched, and I must cover up my face with concealer :( I miss my old face. I you want a face wash that sucks but smells good this is for you, because I really do like the smell.

Shampoo -Redken - Extreme Shampoo (new formula)
whitesoxrock 1/14/2012 9:21:00 PM
Whoa. This is one good shampoo. I started using it about 2 months ago. I haven't gotten my hair cut in over a year, I think it's due to this stuff! People always comment on how pretty my hair it, but I think it's just because it's long. If they realized how gross the ends were, they would have second thoughts. This really seems to keep it long. The ends are disguised, so I can still receive those compliments! My hair survived a theater production where I had to completely tangle/tease it. Within a week, it was back to it's usual shininess, even if it was a little thinner than before. This line rules! Have I mentioned it smells delicious? Sweet and not overbearing. I'll probably be getting my hair cut soon, so hopefully the hairdresser won't know how long it's been. I'm a Redken believer!

Shampoo -Matrix - Sleek.look Shampoo
whitesoxrock 5/28/2011 11:21:00 PM
Super! I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair than when I was using this! I even have looked back at pictures of myself when I used this and I can't even describe how shiny and healthy it looked! The only reason I changed after I was done with the bottle was because the products reek of chemicals. I doesn't have a nice fresh scent, and the scent stays with you forever. But of course, you can always use styling products to mask it, but I don't so definitely give it a try if you're looking for shiny and soft hair!

Conditioner -TiGi - Bed Head Control Freak Conditioner
whitesoxrock 5/28/2011 11:17:00 PM
I just don't get why I couldn't find the shampoo and conditioner in the same size bottle, so I ended up buying two of these! The texture is interesting to say the least, so I made the best of it and applied conditioner twice, a bad habit I've gotten into. It smells nice but I understand how it can get annoying to some. The scent doesn't stay though, so if you don't like it, you won't have to worry about your hair smelling like it later. For its effects on my hair, nothing can make my hair sleek and straight I've tried to date, so it's not something against the product. I was just expecting more from a salon product than just "the basics."

Shampoo -TiGi - Bed Head Control Freak Shampoo
whitesoxrock 5/28/2011 11:13:00 PM
I expected more from a salon product, but of course nothing will control my wild wavy/curly hair. I actually enjoyed the smell, contrary to other reviewers. I always shampooed my hair twice because I shampoo every other day and it definitely got it clean, just not straight as it claims. But on the bright side, my hair wasn't frizzy (so it's fulfilling half of its claim) and was very shiny even though I haven't gotten a haircut in a long time.

Conditioner -Pantene - Sheer Volume Conditioner
whitesoxrock 11/12/2010 11:09:00 PM
I know it's discontinued, but I was clearing out my endless supply of half-used bottles and came upon this. I love the smell of classic Pantene products. I used this with another discontinued Pantene shampoo (Breakage Defense) and my curls were gorgeous! They were so shiny and they laid nicely. They're both used up now, but I was surprised at the results I got.

Conditioner -Pantene - Pantene Restoratives Anti-Breakage Conditioner
whitesoxrock 6/20/2010 7:29:00 PM
It's discontinued now because of the new Pantene products, but this was a very good conditioner. I used it as a deep conditioner on dry hair and makes my hair very shiny. The smell and look (blue-ish) seem really synthetic, but it's only a few bucks, so you get what you pay for, as far as that goes. I never had time to try the Time Renewal one, and now that it's been discontinued I can't, but I'll just expect it to perform up to the standards of this one.

Conditioner -Bath and Body Works - Aromatherapy Volumizing Conditioner - Orange Ginger
whitesoxrock 5/30/2010 11:52:00 AM
I am in love with this conditioner! It makes my hair so shiny and bouncy! I heard it has been discontinued, at least the scent has, which makes me sad because the smell is so refreshing! Even though Bath and Body Works isn't really known for their incredible shampoos and conditioners, they really do have good ones!

Top/Base Coats -Sally Hansen - Advanced Hard as Nails Strengthening Topcoat
whitesoxrock 5/1/2010 4:18:00 PM
Good drugstore nail polish, and it doesn't really matter about color since it's only shine. Of course, it doesn't nearly do as good of a job as my beloved Finger Paints Top Coat, but none the less, it's good. Takes a while to dry, in my mind anyway, but I'm impatient. I'm on my second bottle, but only because when your down to the bottom quarter, you can't get it out anymore!

Lip Gloss -Bonne Bell - Jelly Bean Lip Smacker
whitesoxrock 5/1/2010 3:58:00 PM
I'm not sure if this is the same product as the other reviewers, but it is a Lip Smackers Jelly Bean, and I got it just this year at Walmart during Easter. It's nice for moisturizing dry lips, so thumbs up for that, but I'm not a fan of the scent. It really does smell like jelly beans...ew. I like one I got in the trio though - Pink Chocolate. The other one is too kiddie - Bubble Gum.

Gosh I love this lipstick! I'm not a fan of overly "in your face colors" so this is a nice natural color. It gives your lips a light pink sheen. It smells good, too and it's not sticky. I'm gonna go get another one for me!

Polishes -Sally Hansen - Green with Envy
whitesoxrock 3/14/2010 5:55:00 PM
Very nice! I wouldn't necessarily wear this as a plain nail color, more as a decorating, unless I'm feeling daring. Last quite a while for the price. I like how Sally Hansen comes in so many colors, and readily available. I buy this instead of OPI since I can never find it anywhere.

Polishes -Sally Hansen - Xtreme Wear - White On
whitesoxrock 3/14/2010 5:51:00 PM
Way better than Petite brand. It was not gummy at all, and the white is definitely white. It never lasts, and I can never get it smooth, but I'm not a nail expert ^_^ I still love OPI but I can never find it in my area besides the overpriced salon pricetags, so I go buy this at the drugstore.

Polishes -OPI - Cajun Shrimp

It's nice for your toes, but I wouldn't put in on my fingernails. It's too orange, and I usually stick with darker colors for my fingernails. The bottle lasts forever, just remember to screw it on all the way. I've gone on to better colors, but keep this one just in case.
