I just received this Hair Finishing Stick for fly-away strands of hair.  So far I really like it.  Surprisingly, it’s not sticky or tacky, even once it dried.  It almost reminds me of the texture and consistency of a no water hand sanitizer.  It basically has no scent, which I also really like.  I have short hair but can push it behind my ears if I want.  However, I have the little tiny hairs that are just too short to be held back by my ear and this is the main reason I wanted to try this.  I normally would have to use so much gel or strong hairspray but then it looks wet and like I have too much product in my hair.  When this dries, it really just looked somewhat shiny.  I will still likely use some hairspray just to finish the overall hold and style.

Now for a few of the reasons I didn’t give it 5 stars but only 4.  Although I absolutely love the ombré of pink into purple tub coloring, I would like something written on it anywhere to tell me exactly what the product is or instructions on the best way to use it (even if it was a sticker).  Even on the box it came in, there isn’t enough information for me.  I like to see the list of ingredients I’m using and if there is any caution on using it, say, near my eyes on my eyebrows (which I did try and it worked just like a decent eyebrow gel.  It was able to kept my few unruly eyebrow hairs that always seems to grow the wrong way, in place).  Perhaps because it’s made in China it doesn’t require that type of information as a product made in the US would require.  Of course, that’s also why it’s very reasonable priced too.

All and all I will definitely continue to use this unless I see any adverse reaction or irritation on my skin or scalp.  If that happens I will definitely update my review.  If that doesn’t happen then I may have just found a new staple in my daily beauty routine!


Using my husbands account.

I've purchased this product around spring '18 used it and it was amazing, talk about hair feeling soft as butter. I mean your fingers, comb, brush or whatever you use will go straight through your hair with ease. I left it in for about a couple hours since I've haven't had a protein treatment in years. But THAT'S how soft, silky smooth it was from root to tip after my first use.

From protein treatments I reviewed and talking to hairstylist I understood that I should use it 1x every 6 weeks but it's truly based off your hair needs. So I decided 1x a month was ok for mine at this point. I purchased and used again in July '18 with similar results but not as silky because I cut the time it set in my hair to a little over 30 mins. Mainly because I didnt want it that soft because my hair is fine but curly, coily and straighten it was like baby hair all over my head although my hair is bra strap length.

I purchased 2 more packs in Aug '18 and noticed the packaging was slightly different. Instead of saying "made with natural coconut oil and monoi" it now reads "made with FAIR TRADE coconut oil and monoi". I then compared them together and noticed it no longer says "Made with natural Vitamin E (Tocopherol)" above the ingredients list either. I continued to read the ingredients list and a couple things have been removed which are: Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) seed oil and whats been added in its place is Tocopheryl Acetate, down the list these other ingredients have been simply added not replacing anything Leuconostoc/Raddish Root Ferment Filtrate, Dimethyl Stearamine.

I said that to say this, my hair personally loved the last ingredient list as it was, but this new list my hair is not okay with because it seems like it's more drying when applying on wet hair. Versus the last packages I used, they glided on and conditioned my hair along with giving it protein. So if I cant find the original ingredients and packaging I'm gonna have to discontinue supporting this product and brand. It was the only thing from palmers that I've used in years. And I told the world (everyone I know) how great it was, bought and gave some out but no more after this.


It does smell like an orange creamsicle in the best way (yummy!), but if I get a big direct sniff of my hand right after putting it on, it does have the smell reminiscent of eating a really good tangy, fresh apricot, too.

Even some lotions that advertise “natural fragrance,” I have sensitivity to, but this one is no problem!  No sneezing, wheezing, or headaches from it.  It’s a delicious smell, but not too strong or overpowering, and not fake smelling.  The scent subsides quickly after a short bit of time passes, but is still there if you sniff the skin directly.  I’ve tried their lavender & lemon coconut (both tend to be favorite scents/scent combos for me when done naturally), and those are nice, but this is my favorite one, unexpectedly.

I normally make my own really moisture intensive thick creams & lotion bars (with beeswax, cocoa butter, shea butter & olive oil.)  These I usually apply to my hands every time I wash, because my skin dries out so easily.  It keeps cracked hands at bay.  This lotion is not a replacement for intensive creams like that.

But this lotion is lovely when I want something that *doesn’t leave my hands feeling greasy*, applies easily, soaks in nicely, & smells good.  It’s kinda my “treat myself” lotion.  I can also put it out for guests who are used to more traditional lotion consistency, and have them like it, while not being a problem for my breathing.  It works great to include in a gift basket, too.

I can’t say this will work for every person with scent sensitivities (and don’t assume it’s okay if someone’s told you no scents...some people have dangerous health reactions to even natural fragrances, among other possible serious concerns that need to be respected), but it is definitely one worth looking into if you are the one with sensitivities, trying to find scents you are okay with.  It is 1000 x better than most of the lotions with synthetic fragrances, and even some of the stronger ones that claim natural fragrance.


I was impressed with this mascara.

I have thin lashes, you can see in the photo one eye doesn't have mascara on it, the other does.
I applied just one coat and I had long beautiful lashes, much better than other mascaras I've tried.
This mascara goes on wet, like so man other mascaras, so don't open your eyes wide until it dries or you'll have mascara on your eyelids.

Edit: at first I felt that It came off easily with makeup remover, and pretty easy with just soap and water, but after wearing more hours than I did at the beginning, I find it difficult to get off. You MUST use make-up remover that is made to remove waterproof mascara, even then it requires some work.

It doesn't flake easily, but after I had it on all day and I rubbed my eyes at the end of the day it did flake some, however if I hadn't rubbed my eyes it wouldn't have.
I  tried to add a second coat after the first one dried, just to see what it would look like, and that didn't work at all.  It clumped and the brush stuck to the lashes, so if you want to have more than one coat I'd suggest adding it before the lashes dry, but I don't think you need two coats.
I did cry when I had this mascara on so I really tested the waterproof function.  I did not have mascara run down my face, there was no running what so ever.  However, when I looked in the mirror afterward most of the mascara on my bottom lashes was gone.  I didn't run off, but it did come off.  The top looked great though.

In summary,
What I like about this mascara:
- it only takes one coat and I have beautiful lashes
- it doesn't run when you cry
- the brush doesn't stick in my lashes like so many others do. and doesn't look like it will clump up.

What I don't like about it
- it came off my lower lashes when I cried
- it comes it a box that is way too big for the product
- Edit: it's hard to remove.

Overall I really like this stuff!


[[VIDEOID:1998f82c98c1bbb520f99c753a936492]] The latest hair craze if the hair straightening brush, and I will admit to having one, using it, and loving it. The only thing that I have disliked about it is that it is a little heavy, and since my hair is super curly, I have to run it through my hair a lot, and my hand does get tired. Even if I'm rotating hands, it still takes a really long time. Even though my hair is short, it's just really thick and curly. So I don't love straightening it, and my go-to when I am straightening my hair had been the straightening brush. But I actually like this one better.
The LED screen is very easy to read, even while in use. The hair brush bristles are very nice, and seemingly durable as none of them broke off while I was straightening my hair. And again, it's not as heavy as the hair straightening brushes that has been the latest craze.
Its very user friendly, and it heats up super fast. The rotating cord is a nice feature, I don't think that I would ever straighten my hair if I had to constantly untangle the cord. That's just another frustration that doesn't even need to be added on, in my opinion. But that's a nice design.
When you are curling your hair, keep the black piece on the curler facing your head, otherwise it will be a MESS. If you have super curly hair like I do, it will be PERFECT for taming down your curls, which is exactly how I use it.
Also, don't use this on your hair if its wet. Just wait until it's dry, I get an eye twitch when I see somebody or hear somebody straightening their hair when it's wet. It does nothing but kill your hair, causes split ends, and you can't come back from something like that. So, just wait until your hair is dry.
Make sure your hair also has ZERO tangles otherwise it WILL get stuck and THAT is no fun at all. Tiny strands will also be best, unless you like untangling your hair...

Skederm Ultimate Eye Cream ~ I don't know that I've ever even said this before but I noticed a difference the very first time I used this eye cream! The packaging is very pretty. It's a beautiful blue cannister with a great little airless pump  which dispenses the perfect amount. It's 0.5 ounces but using it only on the eye area should last quite some time.  You only need a very little amount of this cream. It has a very faint scent to it. It's so faint I can hardly smell it at all.  The cream goes on beautifully. I have lived in Florida most of my life  so unfortunately I'm starting to see signs of fine lines above my eyes which I can't believe and they just make me feel older! The first thing people notice are your eyes, right?  They looked terrible and I wanted to take care of this quickly, if possible.  So when I applied the cream,  they immediately faded. Of course I know they're not gone but they're not as noticeable. My eyes also get a little puffy underneath  but the cream  has helped out with that problem as well.  I do have to say that it didn't soak in to my skin as quickly as I had hoped for but after seeing the results I can deal with that. It's not sticky at all! I thought it was at first and realized it was from one one of my vitamin C serums. This morning I scared myself looking in the mirror! My eyes looked I had been rough! So puffy underneath! I did not believe anything would help this mess out. Honestly! I used the cream and once again my eyes bounced back to normal. I mean, they looked so bad I didn't want to leave the house. This is by far my Favorite eye cream ever! I just can't say enough about it!  I've been using it twice a day and will continue to use this to see if there are any  permanent  results. Because of the retinol (vitamin A) I have hopes that there will be!  I received this at a reduced cost for my  honest  and unbiassed review of this product. I really like it and will definitely purchase it  again once it's gone as long as I continue getting good results from it. I do hope my review has helped you in some way.


My wife got me this razor at the store that she works at so we got a better price because of her employee discount as a Christmas gift.
I have been a wet and shaving cream shaver man since I was a teenager only using the best razors such as the Mach disposables blades and I would up grade every time a new and better product came out.
This being said I did not like electric razors or believed in them, nothing like a new clean sharp blade right?
Well as you fellows know you can not hurt the wife's feelings especially when it comes to a christmas gift.
Enter the Phillips Norelco Reflex Plus 6423 LC. I plugged him in a gave it a try and I had was in a completely different world of shaving, I had a much better closer more comfortable shave than I have ever experienced before without the skin irritation and accidental nicks and cuts that come with top of the line blades.
I can shave without a mirror and anywhere there is a electrical outlet and if I am running late for work in the morning I just hurry and plug it in and mow it over my face for about 30 seconds and I am out the door and still get a close shave without all the mess and water.
Results with this razor are excellent.
1- Clean close comfortable shave.
2- Convenient no mess shave.
3- less expensive than disposible blades yet with a better shave.
In closing after almost 30 years of using disposable blades I will never go back to them and I have had this little tropper for about 4 years without replacing new blades for it and I still get a really comfortable clean shave I just give it a good cleaning once a month.
This Norelco is a very good shaving system and it is not just the electric razor method itself because I have tried other electric shavers along with this one and they did not in anyway compare to the results that I get from the Reflex Plus.
Bravo Norelco and thank you for a excellent product.

Mike


I do not want GREASY hair or weighed down hair! THIS shampoo and conditioner leave your hair clean, not weighed down and SHINY! I switch shampoos every now and then and find I have made another mistake ever leaving this duo! This brand is sold in my "upscale salon," and no wonder why! I want clean, healthy hair, READY to style and not worried about STUFF left on my hair before I even begin to put the STUFF on for styling. Know what I mean? I have HARD to please hair, hard to deal with hair, really. I have naturally curly hair which has now begun to turn silver and kinky and FRIZZY if left to its own desires. And, YES, I get what is left of the light brown hair, HIGHLIGHTED! What a mess I am really handing ANY brand of shampoo and conditioner. Oh, yes, sometimes in the back when my hair is shampooed at the salon, the associate will use something else on my hair, and I momentarily FALL for buying something new. THAT is before the build-up. That is before I get it home, only to find out that a one time use is FAR different than an every other day use of this new, supposed wonder. NOPE! BACK to GK which ADDS protein (keratin) each and every time I shampoo WITHOUT leaving GUNK on m hair. Yes, this conditions my hair BETTER than any other brand I have tried (Keune, BB and all the others!)! Boy was getting this DIRECT from GK (and proof that it was the REAL thing!!!) a relief as my hair fell back into line after the VERY first shampoo-conditioning after one of my stupid switches! The other products by GK are great too. You may have to buy a few and try them out and the different amounts of product to use, but you WILL get to as near perfection as YOUR hair can be. I know GK has done that for my straw-like, frizzy, curly, kinky, colored hair! Got even ONE of those problems? THINK of what it might be able to do for your hair!


[[VIDEOID:92e547a3355b061b92a928c9a4e145c4]] This is AMAZING! I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, but it came with 6 packs, I only used 3 for my whole head and I did them small, so definitely worth it, the hair is soooo light it honestly feels like there’s nothing in your hear, you can throw it up in a bun, ponytail, anything and won’t feel it pulling or tugging, I really like the hair, it’s super soft as well, I recommend separating the curls for the strands of hair if you want a fuller chunkier twist, if you just separate the two main strands and retwist it with your hair the twist will keep that spiral curl, and it won’t be as full, if that’s what you want go for it but if not I highly recommend just loosening them up with your fingers, it’s super easy since the hair is so soft, but still be careful so you don’t get tangles, the hair also came with a pack of 5 colorful metallic braid cuffs, and a crotchet needle, you can crotchet or just put them in like any other braiding hair, also I’m about 5’3 and the length was PERFECT!! It came down to my hips and tailbone, so if you want something to be around that length the 24 inches is perfect, and if you want something longer you have enough hair to add on for length. I’m just in awe with this product just for how light and quick it was to do, I don’t think I’ll ever do traditional box braids again! Also straight out the pack it kinda has a weird odor, nothing repulsive just a little weird, but once you run your fingers through them and attach it to your hair the scent goes away! I’m not even being paid for this or anything i just really like this hair, and none of the beauty supply stores near me sell passion twist hair so this was my last option and it did not disappoint!


This deodorant is awesome! I've used so many different deodorants/anti perspirants throughout my life (Ban, Dove, Secret... clinical strength, you name it) and they work at first, but after a while (not even a full stick) I find myself sweating tons and smelling bad. I thought there was something wrong with me! My mom and sister have switched to natural deodorants, and I kept telling them there was no way some eco-friendly deodorant would work if the highest level of chemical-bomb anti perspirant didn't work for me. Anyway, after nothing working and my mom and sister telling me how much I was poisoning my pits, I decided to try going natural. So glad I did! It was a bit weird getting used to the thickness, but if you apply slowly as directed, it melts on your body. The lavender mint smell is light and refreshing, even for someone who doesn't really like lavender or mint smells by themselves. I've gone through a few sticks of this (my one complaint is that the size is so small, I'm ordering a new one every few weeks) and it still works great! Another added perk is after a few weeks the unsightly razor bumps and ingrown hairs I've been living with for years on my armpits are completely gone!  After a few weeks of using this, I noticed my pits were slightly darker and a little crusty, so I exfoliated (probably a bit too roughly) and the skin under was raw and sensitive. I thought I was having a bad reaction, but a few days later I noticed my armpits were completely smooth and my normal skin color. My pits must have had years and years of built up skin and scarring for shaving that this deodorant was somehow able to get rid of! I haven't had that weird darkness or crustiness since (I would recommend exfoliating every week or so, though).

Bottom line, if you want to try natural deodorants but sweat and smell a lot, this should work great. Also if you struggle with redness and bumps from shaving, this can help with that too! Just be aware that you will most likely go through this faster than regular deodorant, so it's a bit of an investment. Totally worth it for me though! Never switching back to the main commercial brands!


The Fromnature BB cream by Cosmocos is unlike any beauty balm I've ever tried. It has much better coverage, and a thicker consistency than any other BB's I've used (which, until now, have all been Western brands). It almost covers like a foundation, but feels extremely lightweight like a BB. It does dry down really fast, and it was a bit darker than I expected. I am light neutral in complexion and chose the shade "light beige". I believe I was able to make the color work for me, but I'm not sure if it'll suit all light skin tones. 👻

This BB has a beautiful satin matte finish, but did have a tendency to cling to my dry patches, so be sure to start with an exfoliated, well moisturized, and primed face. I did not use any primer with this product, (since it's marketed as a BB cream), and without the aid of a pore filling primer this product did eventually settle into my fine lines & large pores. I am really impressed with the staying power of this product though, even without primer & setting spray! After a full day of masking against covid in the South Florida heat, there was no transfer to my face mask. 😃 That's a huge, HUGE plus! With that being said, I highly recommend using a really good cleanser to efficiently remove this product at the end of the day.

PROS:
+ Great coverage that can be built up
+ Very lightweight on the skin
+ Excellent staying power
+ SPF 50
+ Transfer resistant! 🙌
+ No photo flashback!
+ Fragrance free!
+ 1.67 oz of product (vs. the U.S. standard 1 fl. oz)
+ 2 sample hair care products included as a bonus! ❤
+ Convenient PRIME Shipping

CONS:
- Dries very fast and can be difficult to blend
- Clings to dry patches
- Settles into pores & wrinkles (without primer)

TO BE CONSIDERED:
* Warm yellow undertone may not suit everyone

Side Note: There was one other thing I wanted to mention... When I took the manufacturer safety seal off of the tube, I had a volcanic eruption of BB cream that I wasn't prepared for, which made a mess of my tube. If you're like me and don't want to waste precious product, just be aware that it might come spilling out like lava when you break the product seal. 🙃


Excellent quality at a cheap price and long lasting; more than my money's worth.  If you use this as it's made to be used it will serve you well.  As you can see when you read the ingredients; it is not really scented so I didn't expect it to be. What I wanted was an inexpensive shaving soap that produced long lasting lather, a high degree of 'slickness' that lasts, and as many shaves as possible from each stick. This product exceeds that criteria several fold.
This product is consistent from the first stick to the last. As a daily shaver with a medium/heavy beard and sensitive skin, each stick lasts me about a month. The price I paid for a box of 12 sticks makes each stick cost about 0.85 cents each so it's costing me about .03 cents a shave. Not bad for a product that is better than any canned or bar shaving soap I've ever used. There's enough lather left on the brush of a quality to re-lather for a second shave when I finish the first and it's the same quality lather as the first.  It produces a slicker, more comfortable shave than any product I've ever used. In short: I can't find any fault with it.
It was made to be used with a shaving brush. Do your typical prep: Wet and wash your face with hot water and soap, let the soap set for about a minute to soften the beard, rinse, then rub the stick all over your face, then use a wet brush and work up the lather on your face to the degree you want it.  Done.  Shave. It's not a shaving mug re-fill, it is made to be worked into a lather with a brush after rubbing the stick on your face. (I use a circular motion in rubbing the stick all over my face to get the soap under the beard and stubble for a closer,slicker shave)If other experiments fail; it's not the products fault.  It's your money.
I've used this shaving stick with a D/E razor, Trac II and a Schick Hydro 3 and it works great with all three, never clogs the Trac II or Hydro. Arko also makes a tube shave soap and it works the same as the stick. The stick is a better bargain to me.


I read a lot of positive and negative reviews on the product before trying it which made apprehensive. After following the directions to the letter, and I mean using the 'nutshell' method, using the sticks, applying as directed, waiting only 10 mins. exactly using a stop watch, then immediately rinsing and using the supplied glove, I can report that my junk is smooth and bare. Again, as it says in the directions, do Not use any soap or anything else 'down there' except the calm balm, which you should use the moment you get out of the shower and dry off. The only 'off label' thing I did was to use a pair of vinyl gloves to hold the stick and my junk so that I didn't get the cream all over my hands. Last, I read earlier reviews which stated this stuff had a smell. There is a little odor, but it was mild and dare I say pleasant, especially compared with any depilatory cream I've ever smelled before. This is especially important to me, because I share a bathroom, so it's nice to keep my business MY business, and not have others knowing what you've 'just done' in the bathroom.<br />EDIT: Chemical Burn! Despite my glowing previous review, I now say Stay the Hell Away From This Stuff! I had used this product 2 times when I wrote the above review. I used it a third time over a week later, still followed the directions, and got a serious 2nd Degree Burn on my nuts! The pain is indescribable, but let's just say it's like being hit in the balls with a baseball bat while they're roasting in a fire!!! I will NEVER, EVER put anything like this on my balls again. Kinda sucks to have 'smooth balls', but have them drenched in antibiotic ointment and pain cream, then wrapped in a mile of sterile gauze. Doctor's Expenses? Embarrassment? Excruciating Pain? Yes, you too can 'have it all' with Balls Balm..!


I have been seeing these kind of moisture/calming masks on some of the morning talk shows so decided to try Yew Tree Stem Cell Perfect Calming Soothing Mask.  Korean beauty is hot right and needed to try as I LOVE finding new beauty products.

Most plant stem cell beauty products use the  Edelweiss, a mountain flower so Yew Tree a stem cell product from the Yew Tree is intriguing.  They come wrapped in 5 individual packages with full description and directions on each.  I started with a freshly cleansed face and added the very wet mask to my face.  Took a little finagling to get it in place but once I did, it stayed in place.  The strip that goes above the lip could be a bit wider, as that is a spot that could use some smoothing for some women, but all the rest is pretty "face friendly".  I let it sit for 20 minutes, rinse with cool water and was pleasantly surprised at how fresh my face looked.  No need for any additional moisturizer.  I dabbed a little eye cream under my eyes and was good to go.  Also, as to not let a drop of the soothing elixir that is leftover in the package and fingers, I smooth it over my neck and decolletage.  Very nice!  I am in my early 50's and it really is nice to look fresh and dewy-skinned, even if it is just a temporary home beauty treatment.

Huge splurge for me but if you went to a salon, it would cost you a whole lot more.  A luxurious splurge that makes your face look, and feel special.  A friend is getting married this Spring and can't afford expensive salon treatments, so I am putting a special spa bag together for her and a couple single packages of Yew Tree Stem Cell Perfect Calming Soothing Mask will be front and center in her "home" salon treatment pack.

I am pleased with this product.  I almost took a star away for the too thin strip for the above lip area but that could just be me being cranky.  Seemed like a lot of care and research went into making it and it shows.


Here are a few things to know about these.
You need an UV light. The set I had were dry enough that I felt that I could almost not use an UV light but the directions say you need one and I followed the directions with this set.

You will file the top of your nails. so that these stick better. I did that but just for kicks to see how well it stuck without doing that, I left one nail top not filed. The polish did not stick to that nail. What this means is when you take off this police, the nail underneath will be very fragile and will rip off. This earned them the four stars instead of a full five stars.

The other thing you need to know is if you have short nails (as I do) the little gold design in this polish will most likely get cut off. The gold design on the plain nails is right in the middle of the nail polish and unless you have long nails this will be difficult to put on your short nails and keep that design. The makers really needed to put that gold design near one end or the other.

Having said all of that- These are great.
They are very easy to put on. I think I had a full manicure including UV light time in about 15-20 minutes.
When I got a phone call in the middle of the process, I was able to answer the phone without ruining my nails or fear of getting polish all over. They were pretty much dry from the start with just enough wet to keep them sticky so they stuck on your nail.

These have lasted for a few days with everything I do. I'm pretty hard on my nails/hands. I do dishes by hand in hot water several times a day. I garden and weed and the other day I was doing all sorts of heavy yard work and no chips, wear or tear on my nail polish.

I have received many compliments on this set. I love the color and I love the designs. They look professionally done and that is not because of my ability to put these nails on my nails- they just look great.


I’ve always enjoyed a sheet mask on a night in or love to create my own diy masks topped off with toners or essences from my arsenal. But, I never really felt that urge or “need” to sheet mask. Well, I think I found my gateway drug and it’s this mask right here.
.
The masque de lunar helps to brighten and even your skin tone, calm breakouts, reduce redness and improve fine lines and wrinkles.
.
It’s loaded with niacinamide 2%, adenosine 0.04%. Other notable ingredients include: hydrolozed collagen, ceramide NP, Centella asiatica, aloe, sodium hyaluronate, bamboo leaf extract and beefstake plant seed extract.
.
I can see why these sheet masks have already sold 500k+ in Korea. The mask is drenched in tons of clear, unscented, watery gel like essence. I love the fact that there is no fragrance or scent! All the scents can get overwhelming at times so this was a nice surprise. The cotton sheet mask feels high quality and adheres well to my skin. The fit is perfect for my face. Even on my nose! I always have to fold the nose piece cause it’s too long for my nose but not with this mask. I’ve used this mask a few times and every time my skin is left so hydrated and plump. No sticky or tacky residue. Satin soft skin. The redness around my nose and cheeks is diminished and it leaves me with such a glow! What stood out to me is when I added it one morning before applying my makeup and wow. My face looked so good. Makeup glided on effortlessly. My skin looked so glowy and radiant. I even got a lot of compliments on my skin that day. Using it with my pm routine just adds the moisture boost my skin craves and of course The glow✨. SO GOOD. I highly recommend you try this mask out. It’s great for all skin types including sensitive skin. I definitely will repurchase in the future and now I want to try other products from this company.

Let me first of all say that Pain is the body's way of telling you that something is wrong, and that you should respond with a treatment that behooves the problem. Don't expect this product to miraculously heal something that is broken or badly sprained. However, you may have good success temporarily "erasing" the pain from over-use of muscles or whatever, and may allow you to be able to sleep when that is not possible without having applied it. As you heal when you're sleeping, this can be a real advantage.
The body can quickly learn to expect a continuation of pain from a minor problem, and it will linger on and on, even becoming chronic as you change your posture or gait to accommodate the ache or pain. My experience has been that if you can reduce the pain even temporarily (especially) in acute situations, it may break the cycle and never return.  People we have spoken with have also experienced relief with chronic aches and pains.
In addition, some users have reported that it is effective with masking the pain of fibromyalgia.
Some reviewers here have complained about the smell - duh - it's from the natural oils. I think it is a pleasant smell, but it is a bit oily, so if you put it on before going to bed, give it some time to soak in, and cover it to reduce the amount that transfers to your sheets. You may also want to use less than more and will find that a little goes a long way. And - oh yes- it won't cause you to fail a drug test as many OTC remedies do.
I have used this product personally for more than 10 years, have given it to older family members, and given dozens of the towelettes to strangers who were in dire need of quick relief - never with a complaint. I strongly recommend it with the above caveats.
One size doesn't fit all, but if you are one of the vast majority that are not allergic or bothered by any of the natural oils used in its manufacture, you may find comfort and relief in what it can do for you.


Technology is a great thing especially when it's used in skincare. The advancements in skincare, even of just the last year have been really impressive.  It's pretty amazing that we can now purchase products that can instantly take years off!
This H1 Amino Supertox by HeavenHerald81 is one of those products!  Just apply a little of this miracle cream over unwanted wrinkles and it will instantly smooth them out taking years off your appearance.  The more wrinkles you have the better it works!
Created with 18 different types of active plant extracts like Pomegranate, Acai and Jojoba this Eye Cream will help firm, tighten and smooth out unwanted fine lines and wrinkles.
The H1 Amino Supertox by HeavenHerald81 can be used both morning and evening skincare routines and works great under makeup.
I have managed to take really good care of my skin over the years so even at 43 I don't have a lot of fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes so there isn't a real dramatic effect when I use this but my husband is another story.  At almost 50 and as someone who can't be bothered with any sort of skincare he is the perfect candidate for this Eye Cream.  He has fine lines, wrinkles and even some crow's feet.  So, he volunteered to be my model.  Below, are the before and after pictures...
You can see in the untouched before pictures the deep lines and crow's feet and then in the after picture those are all less noticeable.  This was after just 30 seconds and there is even more improvement after 1 minute or longer.  However, I wanted you to see how fast it works!  Plus, the effect will last for hours.
The price tag on this H1 Amino Supertox by HeavenHerald81 retails for $149.00 so it's not cheap.  For the price it's definitely not something you would use everyday but it's perfect for a special event! This would be a great product to get it you have a special event coming up like a class reunion or wedding!

I am now a HUGE fan of using this Jojoba oil.
 I have been using it for my skin and my hair.
I originally planned on using it as an additive for a shampoo
and conditioner recipe. I still plan on doing this, but
I was reading the bottle and it had said to use a small amount
on damp hair and leave in for about 10 min then rinse.
Well, with my hair you can actually drench it in conditioner then just leave it
and just style as usual. My hair will absorb it all and you would never know I had done that.
So I figured I would just try and use it as if it were a leave in conditioner.
I sprayed about quarter sized amounts into my hands and worked into my damp hair like I would have
gel or any styling product. I did however use a lot more than a quarter sized amount.
Doing this, I will go through this 4oz bottle fairly quickly.
I then just let it dry naturally. It worked as I had hoped! No frizz, no oily look, and it left my hair feeling softer.
Now I would NOT recommend doing this if you have normal hair.
You will end up with hair that looks like you dumped oil on your head!
It is after all OIL.
I have long, curly, dry, course, very thick hair, that tends to get frizzy.
It feels just like a horses tail. No exaggeration.
I also have used it on my very dry feet and legs.
My skin absorbed it nicely.
I applied it right after showering, and it kept the moisture in.
I'm diabetic and prone to very dry skin. This will help keeping my feet
nice and soft. Free from my heels drying out.
This requires using only little amount of the Jojoba oil.
This is a wonderful product that I have found to do wonders for my hair.
By the way, the bottle does come in the brown bottle to help preserve the oil.
It does also come with a regular lid that is sealed. It comes with a spray top as well
that has a cap to cover it.
I certainly never would have guessed it would have done this for me or worked like it does!
I'm definitely sold on this Jojoba oil!!

I was able to receive the Jojob oil at a reduced price for a review. I only review products I or my family will use and I will rate the product as it truly deserves,  good or bad.


First let me tell you about my lashes. My lashes stick straight out and the ones on the outer corners curve down :( and I have small eyes so it seems the other eyelash curlers that I have used never got my eyelashes on my outer corners very well. I have used lots of different eyelash curlers  and they have the same problem which is they did not curl my lashes on the outer corner and the ones that did get curled everywhere else only held the curl for a few seconds so I would have to immediately apply my mascara. I got the Bella and Bear curler yesterday at work and I had to use it as soon as I got the package, I opened the pretty box the curler comes in and I took it to the bathroom I did not have any mascara with me but I really wanted to see how good it curled my lashes. After I used it on one eye there was a huge difference, it curled every eyelash even the ones on the outer corners then I did my other eye it came out beautifully also and sense I did not have any mascara with me I could not put any on so I decided to see how long the curl would hold. I checked 30 minutes later and the curl was still there and not only was it still there it was a much better curl then any other curler had given me even right after I would use them. When I got home I decided to see how it looked with mascara and it was the best my eyelashes have ever looked. In fact my 6 year old has very pretty dark curly lashes and when she seen me after I curled and applied mascara with the Bella and Bear she said mom your eyelashes look so pretty like my eyelashes.<br />When I seen this curler on Amazon I was hesitant to buy it because of the price and I was not sure if it would really work like the description and reviews said but I was so tired of how my eyelashes were before so I decided to give it a try and I am so happy that I did. I will never use any other curler again.


I have an Infinitipro from conair, you know the one. The one with the big irreplaceable bowl style diffuser that snaps into the front and doesnt seem like it will be the sturdiest for long term use with the massive seams down the sides and the quickly widening barrel? Yeah, that one. Well I was sure i was never going to be able to find a workable back up diffuser to fit this beast, what with its funky shaped barrel, least of all get lucky enough to get a replacement that's as big and wonderful as the diffuser the dryer came with, but I managed it. I just am in aww of how fabulously it holds it in place, theres no movement at all when I shake it while attached to my dryer! The so called matching diffuser that came with the dryer is constantly popping off, way worse than this guy who wasnt even meant to go on it does! But when I paired the matching one up with the snozzle pushed as far down the barrel as it goes, it provides enough stability to keep even that diffuser in place, no more popping off! Now I have two great diffuser attachments, thanks to this one little miracle device! This thing is worth every bit of what I paid for it, I wish I'd known about it sooner as it would have made all these weeks using my conair diffuser so much more enjoyable. I only hope it's as great in action, as it is at attaching things. I will update my review once I've got to take it on its maiden voyage.

Update: this thing gets to heating up and then suddenly it's too floppy to hold the diffuser into place. I've tried moving it up, and then further down to try to find the best position to get it to hold on, but nothing seems to work. I will keep playing around with it as I use it more, to see if I can get it to work right, but as of now its about as useful as my old diffuser so I will be removing a star.


I love the idea of these makeup removing rags. It saves a lot of money to be able to buy one product that removes makeup, oil, and dirt without having to buy makeup wipes, cleanser, and all the other products that we spend money on to clean makeup off of our faces.
I will be comparing this product to the name brand Makeup Eraser http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KBPSUYC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 that I bought off Amazon as well and have had since June 16th 2015 so I can see if they are the same of different.

Makeup Eraser Claims:

  Makeup Eraser removes 100% of your makeup with just water.
  Removes mascara including waterproof mascara in just seconds.
  Cloth is approximately 7" wide x 16" long.
  All natural, no chemicals, and machine washable.
  Use up to 1000 times and everything comes clean;no stains and remains soft. Promotes healthy skin.

Makeup Remover Claims:

  Reusable. Simply clean it in the wash for a brand new cloth, again and again.
  Absolutely NO harsh chemicals on your face
  Super soft material that is gentle on the skin
  Clears away hard to remove makeup with less effort

Makeup Remover (purple) Pros and cons Vs. The Makeup Eraser (pink)
* Both cloths are soft and both sides feel the same as the other.
*The purple cloth is a tad bigger than the pink cloth which is nice.
* They both remove waterproof mascara easily along with other regular makeup.
* They both wash up the same.
* The makeup eraser feels thicker than the Makeup Remover but does not affect the makeup removers ability to remove makeup.
*The price is quite different. The Makeup Remover (purple) is around $13.00 and the Makeup Eraser is around $20.00 for pretty much the exact same thing.

If you are looking for a way to save money and want a cheaper version than the Makeup Eraser but performs the exact same, I would go with the Makeup remover. Save that extra money because this cloth performs the same thing as the Makeup Eraser.

* I was sent the makeup remover cloth at a discounted price for my ubiased review. I bought the Makeup Eraser at full price. All opinions and comparisons are my own.


[[ASIN:B01ETWZRL6 # Single For Men, Eau De Toilette 3.3 Fl. Oz./ 100 ml - Inspired By The One Cologne]]

I was looking for new scents or signature scents for my future husband and wanted to try this. I like and appreciate the scent of The One Colognes so this was one I wanted my fiance (Bobby) try this scent. Buying signature scents can become quite expensive to say the least and this is a way for us to get an idea of what a scent smells like with Bobby's chemistry without spending thirty five or forty dollars and then not like it. Besides if this cologne scent stays on and lasts a while we may opt to purchase the less expensive cologne. The seller delivered very quickly and we received packaged well. Since this cologne is an Eau De Toilette Spray, it will have slightly more of the oils (10%) that make the spray smell great than just cologne which has about 7% oil. The scent also is delivered in a convenient spray which me and Bobby both like. The cologne actually smells very nice on him. It's a sort of woodsy, citrus masculine scent and you can definitely smell oranges and ginger in it. The One Cologne describes the scent as "Coriander, Grapefruit, Cardamom seed, Tobacco, Basil, Cedar, Ambre, Ginger, Orange Blossom." Some of those things I have no idea what they smell like, but I'd say this not really a musk based scent but it smells really yummy on Bobby. It takes a little more spray than the original version The One Cologne, however, it's about 1/3 the cost, so I won't complain. It's still pretty strong with a couple of sprays being all he needs. As far as wear, it lasts a long time. It's sensual/manly in it's scent and he said he received several complements on the cologne. It is also a large bottle at 3.3 ounces delivered to the door for under 15.00. We like the cologne and can recommend it.


I bought this as an alternative to Lockhart's Heavy. My biggest consideration was that O'Douds is free from petrolatum, with Lockhart's there was noticeable flaking and overall unhealthy feeling to my scalp. That being said, Lockhart's holds like crazy, the strongest I've ever used. If Lockhart's is a 10/10 then O'Douds is more like a 7.5-8/10.

The smell of the pomade is VERY strong, I hope you and people around you like the smell of tea tree oil. Because it's going to follow you for days, and get on anything your head touches. Lockhart's is similar, but with Lockhart's the smell fades after a day and only reappears when you reapply. O'Douds scent will follow you everywhere as long as a trace remains. That being said, I don't like the smell of Lockhart's. It has a much more, i dunno, tar like smell to me. Some people say the Lockhart's is vanilla and tobacco, but its more like a heavy smokers old clothing. So +1 to O'Douds for a better smell, but -1 to O'Douds for the intensity and permanence of the scent.

I would compare O'Douds, in terms of hold characteristics to something like Murray's. That is, Lockhart's is so strong it can straighten wavy hair, whereas O'Douds will straighten a bit but will tend to accentuate the waviness. Not my preference. O'Douds has a ton of shine where Lockhart's is quite matte. The O'Douds also stays "wetter" then the Lockhart's, good if you like to re-comb but bad if you want your hair to stay the way you combed it all day (like me).

Overall: I do like the O'Douds. I think they did a great job given the lack of petrolatum. Conversely I'll probably be using a mix of Lockhart's heavy (hold characteristics I like) and O'Douds (no petrolatum, better scent)


I'm not a professional but I use a lot of brushes. I will give my honest opinion based on my experience using this product.  Overall, for the price, I thought the product is great.  It is definitely affordable but delivers quality results, you are not getting a cheap product.

They are soft yet firm bristles so all types of foundations will be easy to apply with these brush. I tried pull the bristles to see if the brushes are shed free and they were.

1. Liquid and Cream Foundation - It's great for liquid and cream foundation. This brush worked like the beauty makeup blender.  Puts an airbrush like finish, made the skin flawless.

2. Powder Foundation - It was not too bad when used on powder foundation. It seems the brush picked up more product than needed.

They are easy to care. Wipe off excess makeup left on brushes after each use, use a soft cloth or tissue. Then store your brushes in a case to keep them dry and prevent dust build-up. Make sure you keep your brushes in a flat or upright position when storing to maintain their shape.

They are also easy to wash. You just run the bristles of the makeup brush under warm running water then apply a small amount of shampoo to bristles and work into a light lather. Rinse bristles thoroughly under running water. Then air-dry them, do not exposure in sun.

These brushes and carrying case are well made and made with high quality materials. They are backed with Lifetime Warranty and Money Back Guarantee. This lets me know they stand behind their product.

The only CON I like to mention is that I want these brushes a little denser.  Other than that, I am pleased with its quality and the functionality and I recommend these brush set to anyone.

The product arrived just as described, in a timely manner, was packaged perfectly, and in excellent condition.

This product was provided at a discounted price or free in exchange for my honest review. This is not a paid review. My opinions are entirely my own and in no way did the discounted price influence my review of this product.

This comes bubble wrapped really well. It has a nice outer product box, but there’s no ingredients listed on it. It’s made in Korea.

I got the shade “Light Gray.” I’m pretty pale and I’ve been looking for a good contour powder for a while. Everything I try always is too orange toned or is the right kind of color but too dark for me. When I saw this, it seemed perfect, so I was excited to try it!

The compact is nice. It’s plain matte black with the brand name in shiny black lettering. It’s very simple but sleek. It has a nice weight to it. It doesn’t feel cheap at all, and feels nice and durable.

When you open it, you just pull it open. There’s no indent where you put your finger to grab it, which I thought was odd. But, it opened easy. It has magnetic closure. There’s a nice sized mirror inside (it’s the full size of the lid). The pan size is good too. It takes up basically the whole bottom part of the compact, which is nice to see. There’s many times where I open a compact to see the pan much smaller and some wide border that just is wasted space.

This is a beautiful contour shade! A lot of times I’ll get a powder that claims to be a contour powder, and it’s more like a bronzer shade. When I use a contour powder, I want one that is cool toned and will mimic my natural shadow like it should, not one that is warm like a bronzer. Otherwise, I’d just use my usual bronzer. So, I loved seeing that this was a great contour shade - cool toned. And, it was a good shade for me, not too dark for my pale skin!

The powder works great. It’s finely milled. It applies nicely. It goes on smoothly. It doesn’t look powdery. It applies evenly. It doesn’t cling to dry or textured areas. You can apply a light layer of it or build it up to get a sharper contour. I like that it gives you the ability to change it up how you want it.

Overall, I think this is a great contour powder. The compact is really nice. The powder works beautifully and looks beautiful. I recommend!


This is a silicone face pusator/massager. One side features soft silicone bristles that are useful for working any topical application into your face. The other side features a few ribs and can be used for simple face massage (no creams/topicals).

You turn it on by pressing the power button on the back (massage side). You turn it off the same way. There's a travel lock you enable by pressing the + and - buttons simultaneously for three seconds. You disable the lock the same way.

The device integrates a 300 mAh LithiumIon battery. That's not huge, but it's big enough to give a rated 300 minutes of run time. So it's enough to throw into your travel bag or purse (after a full charge) and not worry about running out of juice.

It fits reasonably well in the hand. The vibration intensity can be adjusted in 8 levels using the + and - buttons. Personally, if I'm gonna use this, I'll be using the highest level, and at that level it dusts up a good amount of lather (if the topical you're using can lather). If you have sensitive skin, the lowest level is quite low--just a low hum of buzzing.

Honestly, this is a sweet face cleaner. There is a caveat here, though. And that is that this device is quite pricey for what it is (silicone with a moderate-sized battery and a small buzzing/vibrating unit inside). So whether it's worth the price will be a matter of personal preference. It's perhaps closing with a note that this comes with a two year warranty, unlike cheap similar devices, which usually with a blink and you'll miss it warranty.

Pros:
** Cute and stylish
** 300 minutes run time on a full charge
** At highest level, capable of a getting a topical (or soap) lathering well
** Lowest level is low enough to satisfy those with sensitive skin
** Travel lock-out mode
** Two year warranty

Cons:
** Expensive


I have been pleased with medical grade Easydew products, and this is another. It is an extremely gentle creamy cleanser and exfoliator (through enzymes). Effectively cleans my skin. Sometimes I use it after an oil cleansing, sometimes by itself. My skin never feels taut or stripped. Nor does it ever feel coated. My skin always feel simply clean and fresh.
Has a light fragrance- similar to other Easydew products. It doesn't bother me- no headaches or nausea. The scent dissipates quickly enough. I have no issues with this.

My skin: mid 40s, fair, semi sensitive, dry, Rosacea (redness/visible veins).

Don't need much for it to do its job. Lovely product that I would likely purchase again.

I am totally new to the idea and concept when it comes to doing gel nails at home myself. This was the first time I have owed and used a UV lamp by myself to cure my nails. I def like the initial unpackaging the machine itself looks professional and well made. It plugs into the wall the cord could be a tad longer but it was workable. I didnt read over the instructions since I have seen this machine be used both in the nail salon on a number of ocassions not regularly but I am a quick study. I have also seen ppl I watch on youtube use machines like this as well so I was familar with the concept of what your suppose to do. Now I did pair this with gel polish that I had never used before so my review may not be the best since I am unfamilar with both the product and the products used but it is coming from a first time user as I am sure there are others out there like myself. So in use I will say the machine does get warm not hot but warm depending on how long your using it. The light is very bright and def caught me off guard. The buttons are extremely easy to use but I love that the machine also has a sensor so you dont have to push the button if you dont need to which I thought was a nice touch. The only downside of that is if you lift your palm up then it goes off so its extremely important to pay attention to the numbers you were on for curing sake. I will say thou using this machine at first with the base coat that I was using it came out tacky so my first thought is great I was excited about using this and it doesnt all the way work but once I thought to just go ahead and apply the first layer of polish, cure, and then do the top coat everything was fine. So overall this works great and I look forward to using again in the future as I begin experimenting with both gel polish and poly gel (I think its called). As stated I am a quick study and I dont think I did too bad of a job my first time around.


When I first tried this Marshmallow Vanishing Crème in a sampler kit, I purchased five more kits and then a 1.5 ounce glass container of this product. Can I say it is addictive? Yes, I guess it does have a banana scent and the texture is similar to a banana cream pie topped with whipped cream.

To say this is decadent is an understatement. You will be very tempted to slather your entire body in a good helping of this cream. Fortunately, it goes a long way and absorbs extremely well. In fact, that is why they call it "vanishing" crème. The ingredient list is impressive and contains rose water, mango butter, beeswax, grapeseed oil, rosehip seed oil, Vitamin E, marshmallow extract, willowbark extract, calendula flower extract, and a heady fragrance.

Grapeseed oil is one of the most powerful antioxidants and is high in proanthocyanidins, a group of bioflavonoids that are superior because they are water soluble. This ingredient also prevents skin cell damage caused by pollution and sun exposure.

"Marsh Mallow" is actually a pink flowering herb found in marshes and damp meadows. It has been used for centuries as a food and a medicine. The leaves and roots secrete an emollient fluid with healing properties for inflamed skin. In the past, people boiled the roots in wine to make a cough remedy.

I found this luscious creamy dreamy product to be healing for the body and mind. Not only will you feel comforted by nature, your skin will be baby soft and this product can be used for all-over body healing. The silver lid and glass jar have an unusually cute appeal. If you love this product, you might want to try the Pore-refining mask, Evening Primrose Overnight Crème and the very unique parsley blemish stick. To take luxury to the next level, try the Shea Butter Decollete Crème on your feet, hands or all over your entire body. What an amazing line of products. They heal, protect and soothe your mind.

I'm still trying all the Burt's Bees products, and love how these products make me feel. They add a level of protection to your skin care routine and the clay mask I recently tried cleaned my pores like a dream.

A Total Burt Bees Fan Until the End of Time


Of the traditional great shaving soaps, MWF is the postshave king. Barrister & Mann, L&L, Wholly Kaw, A&E, Italian Extro, there are wonderful soaps out there. They all have great scents and most can match MWF in slickness, cushion and glide. And they’re really close on the post shave. But good old MWF still rules the post shave roost. I love Mitchell’s Wool Fat. I have a Simpson’s Emperor badger brush that was very expensive. Tried and tried to get it to work with MWF, couldn’t get a lather no matter what I tried. I liked the stuff anyway. Then I got a $20 synthetic Plisson knockoff brush. It is the missing link. Loads in 30 seconds, face lathers wonderfully.

If you are having trouble lathering MWF do what I did and get a fat synthetic brush. It transforms the Mitchell’s experience.

Combined with my favorite razor, the Rockwell 6s set to “3” with a Feather blade, a good aftershave lotion and cologne, I’ve got an awesome shave here.

Provides plenty of slickness and cushion like any traditional tallow soap. But the addition of unsaponified lanolin (which also makes it hard to lather) gives this stuff its unparalleled post-shave feel. You will love your soft face after shaving with Mitchell’s and so will your wife, girlfriend or both.

Clean off with a hot damp washcloth, then pat dry and hit with a generous amount of Speick aftershave splash. Your pores will immediately tighten up, whiskers will retract, and you will have a perfectly smooth face.

If you are going to use Feathers, the samurai sword of DE blades, you need a slick soap like Mitchell’s to keep from cutting yourself. Mitchell’s does its job well.

Get some. It might be your favorite too. I will always keep it in my rotation.


Body Wonders Shea Butter arrived in a 16 oz plastic jar, with no sealed liner inside the cap. It has a creamy yellowish beige  kinda of color and it smells like the very distinct smell of Shea butter.  It's a very heavy butter, so a little can go such a long way. In winter month the butter is amazing, its thick enough to not disappear in the harsh winds and moisturising enough to keep your skin hydrated and soft. I use it has my night time face cream, it has helped with my dark spots.
There are so many benefits to adding Shea butter to your daily routine:
Shea butter aids in the skin’s natural collagen production and contains oleic, stearic, palmitic and linolenic acids that protect and nourish the skin to prevent drying. With longterm use, many people report skin softening and strengthening as well as wrinkle reduction.
A 2010 study found that due to its cinnamic acid and other natural properties, shea butter was anti-inflammatory.One compound in particular, lupeol cinnamate, was found to reduce skin inflammation and even potentially help avoid skin mutations. This also makes it beneficial for some people with acne.
I received this product at a discount

Have used this a few times - so far, so good. It has a pleasant smell, it feels a tiny bit abrasive. It does contain baking soda, which is probably why some people are getting irritation from this product. It's very fine grade though and if you just use a small, pea-sized amount as recommended, it shouldn't be a problem for most people. It did come in a smaller jar than I realized it would be, considering the $11 I paid for it.

I've been using natural deodorants for 3 years now and this one is pretty good. There's only one other brand I like. (LaVanila) I decided to try this one because it comes in a little tub and the other one is a solid roll-on. When you're paying this much for deodorant, you want to be able to use every ounce of it. I can't do that with stick, but I can with this little tub. I am a little worried about it being too abrasive since it has the baking soda, but I will revise this review if I have any problems with it.

As with natural deodorants, this is NOT an anti-perspirant. You will still sweat, but you shouldn't stink. I find that on very active days I do have to re-apply at the end of the day. So once in the morning at 6:30 and once in the evening at about 6:30. Having to re-apply is a good trade off for not having to use a product that works by clogging your body's natural process, which is what anti-perspirants do.

One other note... if this is your first foray into the world of deodorants, rather than anti-perspirants, you will stink a little while the your body gets rid of the anti-perspirant. That lasts for a few days, from what I remember. Once it's all gone, you'll just have a little mild dampness at times, but no odor. (Unless you are doing something really sweat inducing, like going to the gym.) And trust me, I've told a few people that I don't use anti-perspirant any more and that they must tell me if they notice I have B.O. So far, after 3 years, I'm still doing okay on it.


At first I thought this was going to be the solution to the problem of the original rechargeable Sonicare toothbrush with batteries that can't be replaced (my original Sonicare stopped holding a charge).

However, after only four months (just long enough to waste money replacing the brush head!), the button began to only work erratically, and now it does not work at all (can't power the toothbrush on).

The reviews that state that the battery compartment does not keep water out are completely true.  The battery compartment is always moist, and the batteries will begin to rust.

I was pleased that my Eneloop batteries worked well to power the toothbrush, so I could be using rechargeable batteries, however it doesn't matter if the toothbrush itself doesn't last past 6 months.

The batteries that came with the toothbrush lasted around a month.  The Eneloops needed charged only once in the next three months.

Looks like the Sonicare brand just fails on too many levels, regardless of whether you are using the ultra-expensive rechargeable unit, or this unit with two AA batteries.

[Update] Flashlights have had "screw on" caps for nearly one hundred hears.  The Sonicare toothbrush is the same form factor.  I have no idea why someone at Philips thought a "clip on" cap (vs. a screw on) would be better, ESPECIALLY for something you use with water.  I am still COMPLETELY BAFFLED by why they would use this design.  The battery compartment will ALWAYS be moist.  Being able to use rechargeable batteries is clearly superior to being stuck with the Philips Soincare charging station.  However, the fact that your batteries get wet means you will eventually ruin your batteries.  That said, I am about to purchase another one.  Being able to use your own batteries makes it a when, both for the fact that you can replace the batteries and also so that the (much more expensive) toothbrush isn't useless when the internal batteries fail after a year or so.  Unfortunately there is no better alternative at this pricep oint.


I am the kind of shopper who likes to read the reviews and makes my decisions from other people’s experiences.  If you are like me you will undoubtedly find this helpful.  Let me begin by saying I had a deodorant that was working well for me, but I decided I wanted to make a change and select something more natural.  I chose Don’t Sweat It! because of the few and natural ingredients that it contains.  When I first tried it, I didn’t think about the fact that this is a different product than what I had been using before and I applied it vigorously.  This led to some discomfort under my arms.  I had a similar experience, several years ago, from applying too much of a baking soda deodorant each time I used the deodorant.  After my first day using the product, I decided to read the label and it was then that I saw it said “Twist open, very lightly swipe and dab under arm.  A little goes a long way!”  It was then that I realized not only was I applying it incorrectly, but I was using a different product entirely and that I had been automatically applying the same amount of deodorant as before without thinking about what I was doing.  On the second day, I followed the instructions and swiped twice lightly under each arm and it worked extremely well.  I didn’t have any discomfort at the end of the day and the deodorant worked very well.  (I also felt good about using this product.)  I plan to continue using this and would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about using it.

Everyone’s body is different, so two swipes for me may be a couple dabs for someone else or it may be three swipes for yet another person.  You know your body better than anyone else and it may take more than a day to discover the right amount for you.  I found out my formula for success with this deodorant very quickly.  It may take you longer.  Also, if you have problems with baking soda and essential oils, it says on their label that you can try their unscented product or go to their website for more information.

I hope this helped you in your decision.


First and foremost let me begin by saying that I am a male. I may be judging this product to harshly or maybe I was just expecting to much from it. I purchased this product do to it being all natural, my skin can become very red and dry when introduced to the chemicals in typical face scrubs or soaps. When the product arrived last night my first expression was; that its a tiny container. I did not measure it, but it was probably 2" wide and 1 1/2" tall. The container did have a safety seal under the lid so that's always reassuring.  Once I read the directions: wet face, place small amount of the granulated product in your hand and make a paste; then use basically. I did this but no paste was formed, just some chopped up organic matter. Ok I thought maybe it settled during shipment and storage, so I took a spoon and mixed it up. Once remixed I tried again with the same result, no paste. At this point my girlfriend tried helping me because I thought I was somehow doing it wrong. With her help I got the same result, no paste. Hmmm, I thought well this ended up be a farce. But one to never give up, I scooped up a few spoonful's and placed in my hand once again then proceeded in trying to scrub my face to no avail. Looking in the mirror I had to laugh, it looked like I had raided the spice cabinet in the kitchen and rubbed spices all over my face. Long story short even after trying to make this product work four different times and calling in an expert  (my girlfriend) to help me unravel the mystery's of this face scrub; neither of us could make this product mirror anything close to a face scrub.<br />On the bright side however, the stuff smell great. I'm going to drill a few holes in the lid and add some rosemary to it and use it as a car air freshener.


First off, I didn’t get free product or any kickback for this review. Never have, never will because I feel it doesn’t help the customer if a review is tainted by “free product for 5⭐’s”
  I’ve been home dipping for about 7 years. I have tried over a dozen different lines (ALL the popular Amazon Prime ones Beetles, Azure, Tomicca, Kiss, Wakaniya, Kiara, Socoria, etc. ) and I follow 7 about YouTuber’s. I do all the prep and techniques. And my nails have been presentable.
  One of the influencers said this was her favorite so when it was available on prime I grabbed it.
  I just started using it (only did second coat) and am so impressed I had to pause to do this review.
  First, I don’t notice ANY smell!  No “Dip Flu”. No eyes burning from the fumes.
  Second, the viscosity is amazing! Not thick, not thin. So easy to apply a thin coat evenly! I seriously don’t know how they got it so perfect where ALL the others where basically just “meh”
  Third, dry time is perfect! I mean PERFECT! You know the steps: take the brush out of the bottle, apply, dip, brush off, and (if you’re lucky) orange stick edging. This stuff was STELLAR in having enough time to do all steps without being too tacky between the steps. Absolutely professional!!!
  And OMG, the packaging is freaking adorable! It was like getting something from Etsy! The shipping box is cute and pink, it had pink crinkly paper packaging strips, a VERY detailed instruction card, a personalized card with my name written on it, and even a large sticker (I’m a little old for stickers but it made the purchase much more personal).
  This review is way to long and I have to finish doing my nails but this is hands down the BEST dip liquid set I’ve ever used and I can’t rave enough.


I don't understand the bad reviews. If melatonin pills don't work for you then maybe it's just your brain chemistry, but this works better for me than any sleeping bill or melatonin pill and with the added benefit of relaxing my muscles in a similar way that an Epsom salt bath would. I'm not sure it makes me fall asleep necessarily, but I notice that my sleep is definitely deeper and I wake up feeling way more well rested and as if my sleep was richer and more effective. I really love it and keep a supply on hand always. It's great for airplane rides and right after you shower before bed.
I read one review here that someone said it was sticky and stayed on their skin, but then followed up with how they were on a vacation on an island and couldn't shower for 2 days. Haha, way to blame this great product for your bad travel choices. The lotion is not sticky and I really only just put a little on my index finger tip and thumb tip and give myself a neck massage with it to rub it in and on any other sore spots. That coupled with my firm mattress and I sleep so well.
Drink plenty of water througout the day, and don't drink any alcohol or beverages before bed and maybe try a warm soothing shower or bath before bed. Rub some of this lotion on the back of your neck and shoulders and in the soft skin spots like your elbow and knee pits so it will soak in well. You will have wonderful dreams and wake up feeling as if your REM sleep went deeper and longer than before. Don't look at electronics before bed and make sure you are sleeping in a cool dark room and are clearing your mind of worrying thoughts. It's really a great tool in your sleep tool box.
Remember that sleeping pills, especially crazy ones like ambien ... and alcohol too, are so bad for your sleep and sleep is the most important thing you can do for yourself. I love the fact that I really can go without coffee in the morning when I have a great long sleep. And my appetite totally changes and I crave health foods instead of unhealthy ones.


My first time buying foam rollers was from Walmart, a pack of 18 conair rollers that came in 2 sizes for $15.. I was pretty disappointed when I saw this pack of 42 for $13 on amazon a few weeks after.

First, the sturdiness of these rods differ from the Conair ones I had purchased. They felt less firm, but found as you go down in size that changes. This can affect how well it stays in your hair, but I just use an elastic on the bottom part to keep my ends rolled.
Second, I have long hair so I found these to be a good length. Also, I combine the purple and blues together when needed, or the yellow and oranges (not very far in sizes and in case 6 isn't enough). I haven't tried the smaller sizes, but that's because I like bigger waves/curls.

I'm not much of a girly girl, so I found these perfect to do my hair the night before. Plus, no heat damage!! In the morning, I take them out, give my hair a few tosses and run my fingers through the curls and done. It may look a little silly at first, but give the hair a few moments to relax.

**Sleeping in them: I found the blues and purples to be the most comfortable, probably because they have the most cushion. Try not to roll to close to the scalp, some hairs might get rolled too tightly and are a pain in the ass when trying to sleep.

- For the girls not having success, you have to use it on damp hair! I've been rolling them in dry hair and then using a spray bottle to wet my hair then wrap them up in a scarf or shirt. I sleep in them and remove in the morning.

- I don't use hair spray, but the curls can last from one morning to the next! Of course, not perfectly but I like the way they look. I'm not a perfectionist at all, so I like the "effortless" beachy waves look.


[[VIDEOID:ee381ae32ed3952623ee5f921df764d6]] La he estado utilizando ya un mes. En especial en la zona de las piernas, axilas y zona íntima. Aclaro que yo tuve tratamiento láser durante meses pero lo dejé, y medio año después compré está depiladora. Bien, pues en las piernas si he visto cambios después de la tercera semana de uso, la utilizo dos veces a la semana, los bellos casi ya no salen y los poros de la piel se han hecho chicos, ya casi ni necesito rasurarme. PERO, por otro lado, he visto pocos resultados en la zona íntima y en las axilas, posiblemente es debido a que el bello es más grueso. Actualizaré dentro de unos meses más, estoy segura que esas zonas son más complicadas por las raíces más fuertes. Me gustó la depiladora, si la recomiendo, es cómoda y práctica, no te lleva más de media hora depilarte las piernas, las axilas y la zona íntima, si se calienta déjala reposar hasta que se enfríe, esto para nivel 4 y 5. TRAE unos lentes y un rastrillo en conjunto con la depiladora, además de un instructivo. ACLARO que después de que uses la depiladora, debes de cubrir esa zona por un día, no dejes que le pegue el sol ni te pongas cremas ni nada, esto es recomendación de una dermatóloga, pueden aparecer manchas si no lo haces y puedes herir tu piel, utiliza los lentes y no uses la depiladora en zonas con cortadas o sangre, tampoco debes usar ninguna crema o ungüento cuando estés usando la depiladora. LA RECOMIENDO.


Last week I suddenly wanted to dye my hair purple.  I searched everywhere for the perfect shade, and I thought I had found it in Manic Panic Amplified.  I had assumed it would last longer than it used to. I was horribly wrong.  It's not as if I'm a stranger to dying hair, either.  My daughter is currently rocking a shade of blue by Pravana Chromasilk.

Here is the procedure I used:
First, I bleached my hair to a pale yellow (first time it has EVER been bleached).
Then I washed and blow-dried my hair until it was definitely dry.
My husband applied the Manic Panic Amplified - Purple Haze using the brush that came with the Manic Panic kit.  We used two bottles to cover my hair, since it is VERY thick and nearly shoulder length.
He then brushed through each section of hair to make sure that it foamed up like the directions said to.
I left this stuff on for HOURS like recommended, even using heat (blow-dryer) until it was fully dried.
I washed it out in the sink using completely cold water.

It is recommended that you don't wash your hair for several days, so I didn't.  I held out as long as I possibly could.  Five days later I went to wash my hair - using ONLY COLD WATER (the shampoo is sulfate free, and I use a color-lock conditioner that I get at Sally's Beauty), and as usual some dye washed down the drain (that's normal).  I got out and looked, It was already faded to a much duller purple.  This doesn't make sense to me.  But here's the real kicker:

It has only been two more days, I haven't washed my hair again, yet SOMEHOW most of the purple is gone.  Like, where did it even go?  My hair has not been wet, I have been avoiding swimming until I find a bathing cap, because I don't want to mess my hair up.  Right now I have a few streaks of purple and a strange orangey tone left behind on my bleached hair from the Manic Panic.

Next time I am going to buy Pravana Chromasilk Vivids.  It's what I used on my daughter, and 8 weeks later her blue is still holding strong.


I am surprisingly happy with this purchase! I bought this wig because at my age, my hair is starting to break really easy & I seem to be shedding much more hair than usual. I usually go with wearing hair extensions but that is sometimes pretty hard on my already weakened hair. First of all, I have to mention that this wig is exactly as pictured. Color & all. I bought this wig in this style because I needed something to wear while doing physical duties at home & when I'm out & about. I usually don't buy synthethic wigs because most of the time you can tell that they are synthetic & end up looking just horrible. But I do have to say that this wig looks like & feels almost like real human hair, at least in my opinion. It is definitely a higher end synthetic, however I am not able to curl the hair at all. But that wasn't a big deal. The hair has plenty of waviness to it & I love the braids & the ponytail. I did trim it a bit  (about 3.5 inches) because it felt a bit heavy for me. I brushed it out & added a few more braids & redid the ponytail & it looks & feels great! But my head does get a little hot when wearing it & sometimes I get a bit itchy but I think that could be because I am new to wearing wigs & maybe just need to get used to it. Not sure. I also got this wig because it seems that Copper colored ones are not as abundant as the other colors out there & was in desperate need of this color. And what I love most about this wig is the price! For $20, I figured it was worth a try. Glad I did. Definitely a must have if you only need it for a costume party or for Comic-con. Not sure I am able to wear this wig all day everyday. Am still new to exploring the world of wigs so I am still on the hunt for Copper colored hair pieces, especially one I can wear all day, everyday & be able to curl & change the the hairstyles.


These are wonderful little containers for travel. They are very easy to fill and dispense from, when you are ready to use your lotion or shampoo or facial cleanser, but they are also the right size to give you enough for a trip. The bottles come in different colors, so you can sort of color-code your products, however, they don't include enough colors. As a result, there are really only four bottles that can be used for travel, without labeling. Given that three are the white color, all of those will be for hand lotion. They are really convenient for attaching to a hook on a bag, which is great for me because my hands dry out so easily. Since I know what color the original bottles are, for my products, I love that they are different colors, but, again, they need more colors. My shampoo is blue. My body wash is white. My facial cleanser is green. My lotion is orange. The list goes on. I am giving these five stars because they work very well, have a nice thick top portion to hold that clip, so that they don't break off, and the clips themselves are nice medium-duty clips that really hold the little bottles in place. These are high quality for a great price and made with food-grade silicone, so they are non-toxic and won't leach any chemicals into my products, which means I won't be putting anything bad on my skin. Even though you might have to separate them out, unless you use products with color additives like pink-colored strawberry scented shampoo, and only use four for travel, while the other two are for different use, they are still really well made and easy to fill and dispense and attach and carry around. I highly recommend these. I look forward to seeing more colors and more multi-color sets. That's basically what we all need isn't it, for everything to come in different sets with more choices as to customizing the variations in the sets that we purchase. Some would want all pink.  Some would want all blue. Some would want a rainbow. I need the rainbow, and still these are five stars, because they work so very well.

I bought this trimmer after my old Norelco stopped charging. For the record, I maintain a full beard with this. Overall, I am satisfied with the product, but there are some caveats.

Vacuum: Like me, you may be interested in the included vacuum, rather than getting hair all over the place. It works pretty well for this! I'd say about 90% of the hair is trapped in the canister, about 3% on the sink, and about 7% left in my beard. For this reason, I recommend using the trimmer before you shower. Otherwise, you will get little hairs all over your shirt during the day. If you only have a goatee or similar, it may not be quite as bad. It's not much hair, but the little vacuum can't solve everything.

Noise: The noise level is loud, but not really any noisier than an electric toothbrush. To me, it's really no big deal. With the bathroom door closed, you can only hear it when close to the door anyway. I even run it in turbo mode most of the time, and still don't have an issue with this. Of course it would be great if it were completely silent, but really it's not that bad.

Trimming: Like all Norelcos, it does a great job trimming. The included adapter(s) handle just about everything I could imagine needing. I am a hairy guy, and have not felt any pulling or ripping of the hairs, just a clean trim.

Power: I typically get several weeks worth of trimming (every 2-3 days) on a single charge. To maintain the battery, always ensure you fully drain it before recharging. Using turbo mode drains it slightly more quickly. I can go a whole vacation without needing to recharge, which is nice, but the included travel bag is handy just in case.

So, overall I'd give it 4.5 stars, only because of the leftover hairs. It would be nice to have a slightly more powerful vacuum, but I realize it's difficult to get the hairs that are trapped in a beard. I love the trimmer, and have not seen anything else out there that would beat it.


Overall, this product isn’t horrible compared to others on the market. It is paraben-free, sulfate-free, EU Allergen free and uses minimal ingredients however it also contains alcohol, silicone and is not safe for fungal acne.  After running this product through a cosmetic ingredient safety checker, it scored an 88% one the EWG Health Rating.  Most popular, name-brand face lotions are around 65%-80% on the EWG Health Rating. I use the EWG (Environment Working Group) as a reference when checking products and try to stay away from the alarmist side. Only 8% of this product is considered “moderate risk” mainly polyarylamide, Fragrance (unnecessary additive; possible allergy) , alcohol denat. (Bad for dry skin, bad for sensitive skin, potentially block pores) and BHT (also found in edibles, rubber products and is banned in UK and EU due to limited research showing BHT is linked to cancer). This product is good for brightening, anti-aging and promotes wound healing.  It also contains steric acid which can potentially block pores.

Keep in mind, everyone’s skin is different and what effects one person may not effect another. Learn your skin and what products work best for you. Personally, I would stay away from this product if you have very dry skin and/or sensitive skin. I have “normal” skin (no sensitivities, not overly dry or oily, limited acne, no allergies) and didn’t have any issues with this product so far. It has a light scent that isn’t overpowering but completely unnecessary (I HATE fragrance in beauty products; stick with essential oils). It absorbed nicely and didn’t leave my face feeling oily. I am giving this product 4 stars as of February 21, 2021 due to the minimal ingredients and will update this review once a larger amount of time has passed to fully understand how to works with my skin.


I'm a repeat Norelco user.  Having read some of the other reviewers' complaints of "excessive noise" and "soft" depth settings, and considering the somewhat vague description of the T980 Turbo, I was hesitant, but bought it anyway.

I'm happy to say the T980 is an improvement in every way over my old faithful trimmer (T970 maybe? I threw it away after a couple of days with this one).  I'd used my old trimmer for over 3 years with no problems whatsoever.  The old battery was weakening, and when I saw the Philips special promotion on Amazon, I decided it was time for an upgrade.

Here's the lowdown:  Most important to folks wondering whether to upgrade- the T980 works EXACTLY like the old one; you can still pop the top off and do the edge trimming without adding any attachments; No. 3 and No. 2 depth on this one are the same as on the old one, etc.

As for noise, my old trimmer had no doubt gotten noisier over the years as the blades dulled or whatever, but with them side by side, the T980 was noticeably QUIETER right out of the box.  On the "turbo screamer" setting, it was about even with the old one as far as pure decibels.  Speaking of the turbo setting, it's a neat idea, but the vacuum on this one works so much better than the previous one on "normal," in practice I never even switch it to "turbo."

The depth adjustment on the T980 does have a slightly soft "click" right out of the box, but contrary to what I've read, it holds the setting at least as firmly as my old one.  Plus, once I used it a few weeks, it loosened up and now "clicks" as definitively as the old one ever did.

If you're using an older Norelco trimmer similar to this one and have been pleased with it, I can recommend the upgrade to the T980 without hesitation.


I have read before that even if you have good skin, it’s wise to start using an anti-aging cream in your 30’s.  I mean you cant be young forever right!  And all skin needs a little help as we age.  However with that being said, I have to admit I don’t use any moisturizer’s or face creams as I should because I have not found one or shall I say, any that I really liked.  I have a collection in my bathroom of face creams that possible compete with your local Sephora and yet, I use them rarely…. that is until I tried Miracalis Anti-Aging Cream.  When I was told I was going to be able to try this product out by Miracalis I was thrilled!

This cream comes in a glass pot that is light weight and cute looking.  The cream it self is very soft and light.  I found that using a pea size amount was enough to get my whole face and neck area.  It applied on very silky and glided on well without any harsh rubbing to blend it in.  I used this cream twice a day after my daily skincare routine.  I used it in the mornings and at nights before bedtime.  It went on smooth and dried quickly with no residue left behind, greasy look or feel.

It’s also odorless which I love!!!  Face cream should never have fragrance as that is a potential irritant to the skin.  Since I have very delicate skin that is set off by many products, this truly was a winner for me.  It never irritated my skin or dried it out.  This cream left my skin feeling and looking firmer and softer after almost just 3 weeks of constant use.

I can apply my makeup almost instantly after using this cream as it absorbed quickly into my skin.  This also works great at night right before bedtime.  As I am ready to hit the pillow after my night time skincare routine, its absorbed nicely and quickly with no nasty residue!

I have found that I use this product more than any other face creams I have purchased in the past leaving me very satisfied.  I plan to continue using this cream due to its benefits and the fact that my face looks and feels great so that's a bonus as well!


I am extremely pleased with the hair ties that I received. They arrived in a timely manner and were exactly as described. I would say that the "silver/gray" tie in the photo appears a bit darker than it actually is, but this did not bother me at all. Obviously, pictures occasionally alter the color appearance when compared to the color in actuality. These ties are a blessing! I have extremely fine, long, blonde hair. Even with my hair being extremely fine, I have a ton of hair. These ties hold my hair very well in a high pony, which is how I usually wear my hair when I put it up. The holding capability was a complaint on other reviews of the same product (just from a different seller). I see no problem with these. The color selection is great and the price is awesome as well. I wanted to try these out before I bought a ton of them and after day one, I was in love with these! I will be purchasing the Kenz Laurenz pack of 30 hair ties that are around $15. They are so cute that I will sometimes wear them on my wrist as an accessory. Unfortunately, I lost my black one while wearing it on my wrist. Overall, these hair ties are amazing. They don't pull on my hair like a normal elastic would and I haven't noticed a line in my hair when I take it out of the pony tail. They also are big enough to wrap around my hair three times and I would say my ponytail is about an inch in diameter, give or take a little. Some may question the ability of the knot to withstand use over time, but it seems super strong and I don't think I will have a problem with it breaking or coming undone even with my heavy use. I don't know if you can tell in the picture or not, but these hair ties have a bit of shimmer to them, which I feel is the cherry on top. I will definitely be purchasing more of these! I would recommend these to any girl/woman who wants to break away from the typical hair tie.


I'm very into nail art so this was one of the coolest things I've tried out in a while!
This is a pretty complete set - it includes any brush or dotter you'll really ever need. They're also in a cool case with a little info page explaining the different brushes.

- The case is sturdy and makes the set very, very giftable! It looks pretty great.
- There are 2 brushes for acrylic paint, 6 for regular nail art, 2 for gel polish, and 2 double sided dotting pen/tools. That's a pretty complete set. If you're gifting it, you could sweeten the package by including polish, a bottle of polish remover, a small painter's palette, and precision-tip q-tips! But, all the brushes are included in this set.
- The two dotting pens are double-sided so there are 4 different dotters that give you a fantastic range. Can't imagine you needing any smaller or larger ones. They also have really cool sanded wood handles. I like the feel of them.
- The brushes have an awesome range, too. They're colour-coded and labelled by type (acrylic, regular polish, gel polish).
- Now the info sheet says to use polish thinner (or rubbing alcohol for gel polish) to clean them. I tried this and it just made it clumpy (maybe my thinner isn't a good brand for it!). It specifically says to avoid acetone but I used pure acetone to clean them which worked fine EXCEPT that it stripped the paint off the handle of the brushes. NON-acetone remover cleaned the brushes, didn't damage the bristles, and didn't strip the paint so that's what I recommend, personally. Non-acetone polish remover is your best bet. Just be gentle, no matter what you use, to avoid damaging the bristles.
- Overall, I love this little set and it's a great addition to my nail art collection.

I bought this discounted in return for my opinions and review.


I must admit, when I first purchased this product, I was very doubtful about it, but my mind was quickly changed. I've had my hair bright red for the past few months using Manic Panic pillarbox red (I bleached it before doing it red), but once it started to fade I needed to redo it. Short on cash, and with no legit beauty places near me, I stumbled  into the nearest WalMart (no, I didn't buy this product off Amazon but I figured this might help some people out, regardless), I had been wanting to do my hair hot pink again for a while, so this color was a give in.

  The kit comes with dye, gloves and bleach. I didn't use the bleach for a few reasons; my hair had already been prelightened a couple months ago and I only use a certain kind of bleach, because I know it won't wreck my hair (clairol 30).
  After my purchase, I got home and got to work right away. I planned on dying half my hari half black, and half Pink fetish. I separated my hair and applied the pink, leaving it on for 20 minutes, than blow drying it for 5. I than applied black dye to the other side of my head and left both dyes on for 25 minutes. I washed them out, using cool water, shampoo, etc. I was AMAZED by the results. Seriously, it looks AWESOME. It's so vibrant and beautiful. If anyone has used Manic Panic's hot hot pink,the dye itself resembles that, but comes out a more true hot pink (hot hot pink by manic panic looks more fuscia). I loved this dye, I have been dying my hair with semi's for over 7 years, and I'm VERY pleased. I know many people out there are very skeptical when it comes to drug store "extreme" dyes, as was I since I've been screwed over by punky looking dyes from drugstores in the past, but this is the real deal. Take it from me, I've used every dye in the book and I see nothing wrong with this stuff, except it smells kinda funky, but that's expected...I guess. Hope this helped some people out! :)
