I am naturally dark brunette, but used to bleach my hair platinum and straighten it with the dryer and iron everyday. Needless to say, my hair was totally fried and looked like a cotton ball if I did not spend an hour straightening it and loading it up with heavy pomade. Back then, this conditioner worked amazingly well on my hair - it was just about the only thing that would make it feel healthy. I was remembering how well K-pak worked and decided to buy it again. I no longer bleach my hair or heat style it. It is its natural color with just a few subtle highlights and thermally reconditioned (but not at all damaged or dry). My hair is the healthiest it has ever been. K-Pak actually made my healthy hair feel dry! I am still giving this product 10 starts because it worked miracles on my bleached hair. It works miracles on hair with any sort of damage. On healthy hair, it seems to dry it out a bit (maybe due to the proteins?)

I have this in Turkish Delight which is a sheer baby pink. This delivers just the right amount of shine while making the lips feel moisturized. This is without a doubt the best lipgloss I own in terms of color, consistency and staying power. The price is a bit steep so I try and save it for occasions. The price is actually the only drawback - this is really a fabulous gloss.

Really beautiful color. It is very sheer, but somehow manages to conceal my dark undereye circles, without having to use a separate concealer. I get a shade slightly darker than my skintone because it makes me look instantly tanned. Unfortunately, it breaks me out. I have to save this for a night out - if I use it 2 days in a row I will start seeing milia coming up. My skin is very bad with any sort of thing on my face, I have not found any products that do not cause it for me other than Almay. If your skin is normal, do not let that affect your decision to try this. It is good stuff.

I have very sensitive skin, and this stuff was just too harsh. My skin felt "squeaky-clean" after using and soaked up my moisturizer. After a few days, I began getting blemishes and poor skin tone - I think it may have been upsetting my pH balance of something. I did like the gentle foaming action and enjoyed using the product, it just does not work for me. Ah well, back to Cetaphil for me and this time I will never stray again.

This shampoo is creamy and does not strip my (thermally reconditioned, waist length, naturally frizzy and dry) hair. A definite staple.

When I first put this on, my skin began to tingle and itch. I felt like I wanted to wash my face immediately. Altough it was itchy, uncomfortable and greasy, I kept it on all day. By day 2 of using this product (usually it takes about a week or so for a product to cause issues, if it is going to cause any) I had a small cluster of tiny zits, whiteheads on blackheads on my lower cheeks, whiteheads by my temples and a painful, deep under the skin zip right on the tip of my nose (lovely). Hell no, I will not be using this product again! I haven't had a zit in months and my face has been clear of any congestion for a long time before trying this. Also, when I washed this stuff off after the second night - my face felt uncharacteristically dry. I do have a problem with a lot of face moistururuzers, but have never erupted this quickly. I only gave this 2 lippies because perhaps someone who is not at all zit, blackhead or milia prone may have some luck with this. But if you are, stay far away from this - I'll need to spend a couple of weeks nursing my skin back to health!

Garnier Ultra-Lift Anti-Wrinkle Firming MoisturizerSPF 15
Wrecked my skin in less than 2 days (not for sensitive skin)
Wow, this stuff single-handedly trashed my skin with one sample packet. I tend to have problem skin that does not do well with most moisturizers (jojoba oil is the only thing that keeps it clear). I have been looking for something with spf to use in the summer, so I tried a sample of this. It stung my face when I put it on. I don't think it did much to moisturize, but it also did not feel greasy. By the second day of using this, I had about a dozen tiny flesh colored bumps under my eyes, quite a few clogged, enlarged pores on my nose and a couple of blackheads. My skin just did not look healthy or radiant as it did before I tried this. I went back to my jojoba routine with BHA, and luckily my skin went back to normal in a couple of days. I will not be trying any Garnier products again in the future.

I would not say this really made my lips any bigger, but the gloss is very long lasting and moisturizing. I love the cinnamon taste and the tingle when you first put it on. It is a very small tube for the price, but I do not need to reapply to often so it lasts awhile.

My lips were on fire. I have a soy allergy which causes my lips to tingle, burn and puff up, and this produced the exact same result. The tingling only lasted a few minutes. As the tingling went away, my puffiness subsided. About a half an hour later, I was right back where I started, only more moisturized. I like the gloss and moisture from this product. Even though the plumping is temporary, I would repurchase for the long-lasting moisture and gloss.

Because this pencil is so soft, the actual line is beautiful when first applied and looks natural, yet dramatic. It is a shame this does not stay put longer. Normally I like to "draw and go" but for a line this nice, I am willing to go the extra mile by using a primer, setting with powder and checking periodically for smudges. I have this in the black (wonderful) and the sparkling blue, which does not show up too well on my olive skin.
