I LOVE THIS CONDITIONER. For the price, it's definitely worth it. I flat iron, curl, or blow dry my hair so believe me when I say, heat damages. After using this, I was hooked. It coated my hair and replenished the dryness and frizz. I had shiny, smooth locks without the flat iron after brushing my hair through after each use. I love how the conditioner is thick but isn't greasy so it feels like using a masque to regenerate hair health and restore it. Although nothing can really repair damaged hair, this will give the appearance of full, lush locks and it's not chemically treating your hair! Not to forget to mention, the scent is light and pleasant.

This shampoo is moisturizing, causes minimal build up, nourishes your hair and coats it to replenish the thirst of dry hair. I cause heat damage to my with styling tools and products so even with daily use, the performance of this product isn't decreased. Most shampoos I have used I have found it would strip the moisture of my hair, cause frizz, and tangles. This isn't any problem with this shampoo, the scent is light and fresh, and the results are shiny, healthy looking lovely locks of lush hair. It's also easier on your hair brush. less pulling and less snagging!

Pigments galore and true to the colors indeed! Have you ever purchased an item and has been so disappointed because the color came out so sheer that you had to layer it on six times before it had became even half the shade in the pot? Not here. MAC's eyeshadows are over fifty percent pigment which means what you see is what you get and they come in a range of finishes from shimmers to mattes to satins and pearls, it's endless! Oh, I adore these and collect these! At $14.00, it may became a pricy addiction but they don't fade or crease on me nor do they disappoint. For office, for school, lounging, clubbing, dinner, dates, red carpet, these eye shadows announce classy and individuality.

Anyone who knows about hair knows that hair can not be restored fully after it has been damaged so this product is a bit misleading. While it leaves a temporary softness and subtle shine after one use, hair after that returns back it's normal state as this is just a treatment in the shower for the day. Don't expect luscious locks out of this treatment nor a mane like a celebrity's, you're better off with a silkening or smoothing conditioner for daily use. I'd consider this just for prom night or the reunion with the pals.

Used with shampoo, this product barely has any effect. Used alone for daily conditioning, this leaves build up and the strong fragrance is based out of perfumes so it may dry out some scalps out there or even irritate them. The price tag lures the customers into a cashier's scan to the bathroom shower where they are at the end of the testing alley leading them to turn back from no results or worse than they began with. I can spend dollar after dollar on this product only to find it wasted compared to spending a couple more where my money had actually been more of an investment on a better product.

While the price tempts the smart consumer into purchasing this item, they should also be very cautious about what it does to hair. After washing my synthetic and natural makeup brushes with this, it had lead me to the verdict that this is absolutely drying and causing hair over time to be brittle. I left the product on the palm of my hand for about thirty seconds and when I rinsed it off, my palm was dried out and in need of natural moisture so I began pondering about the effects on human hair. It's known to strip color because my lovely rich brown hair turns dull after a couple uses and leaves my strands frizzy and parched. While I'm unhappy the price tag isn't on better products, I'm satisfied with the results of my testing to leave this product on the shelf. 'Better safe than sorry later.

This is a great blot powder. Usually, this is good to set foundation because some shades will get dramatically darker after setting so dusting blot powder balances out the coordinating shade and gives me a matte look. I can dust it where I'm really shiny but just tap it lightly on the cheeks for a semi-dewy healthy look. Also, on days where my skin looks more radiant, I can just touch it up with concealer and use this and it'll eliminate the shine. This also lasts quite a while. One case of this usually will last me six months. This will not chalk up the face either making skin look dull and flaky. It's best applied with a large powder brush.

Greasy, sticky, thick, pore clogging, oily, heavy. This is usually the set of adjectives used to described different moisturizers, however, this product was just the opposite. It provides adequate moisture for oily to combination skin types without leaving a trace and the skin drinks it up. This will not deface a makeup or foundation finish nor will it contribute to hypersensitivity issues, it's arguably one of the best foundations in the market. Also for the amount that lasts quite awhile, a top standard gel moisturizer does sell at a reasonable price. Three months later, I'm only at the half mark but of course everyone will have different usage amounts. This is a recommendation to anyone finding an alternative to their current moisturizer.

For the price it's sold for, it'd be a gem at twice the content as this is half the size of many blushes sold in the department store market. The gentle pigments that naturally give a flush beautify the wearer with a natural luminous look instead of the urban and hardcore metal groupie. This is a blush you'll want to wear for the festivities and everyday; it starts sheer but with one or two more strokes, a contour is developed as the pigments multiplied intensify quickly rather than slopping on the seventy layers of that almost naked blush you regretted spending fifty dollars on, this is quite a value but may have been better repackaged in a larger container with more of an amount.

One of the first main ingredients is mineral oil and many fail to see that. While the hype of the self proclaimed brand state they are dermatologist recommended, this is not a perfect example of being sensitive skin friendly. First of all, the powder isn't micronized so it will make extra dry skin rather ashy and oily skin frequently more blemished from the oil content. I'd be cautious for those who are thinking about patting that powder filled puff on their faces not knowing what their skin will appear like in a few weeks. Think twice before whipping out those wallets! This powder has also a very minimal selection of shades catering to those very neutral tones excluding those who have warmer or cooler complexions.
