Before I even get to the scar diminishing aspect of this cream, I just want to mention how great it smells.  The lavender essential oil really stands out in the scent, and makes this cream's aroma super relaxing.  The cream is pretty thin and liquidy, so be careful when pumping it out.  A little bit goes a long way.  One pump covers one of my hips.  I am using this cream to diminish the appearance of the stretch marks on my hips and scar that are on my shoulder.  So far, the stretch marks seem to be blending in with the rest of my skin a bit better.  I haven't seen much change on the scars, but they are very large, so they may just take more time.  I have been applying this cream twice a day on clean, dry skin.
The cream does leave a bit of an oily residue after applying it, but if you massage it into your skin enough, this all soaks in after a few minutes.  There are many essential oils in this scar cream, which I'm very happy about, since I've been reading such positive things about each of their benefits on skin.
I'm happy with the results I'm getting with my stretch marks, and I'm going to continue using this on my scars as well.

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. I am always very honest and fair when reviewing an item, so please be assured that the product has earned the rating I have given it. I always read other customers' reviews before deciding on purchasing an item, so I take writing reviews seriously.


I practice magic, and I do many bathing rituals to rid myself of unwanted negativity and to cleanse myself of lingering residual energy that others might have left behind on my person. One of my bath rituals called for Florida Water, so I went out to find a bottle. Let me tell you, not only was I shocked when I found it in my tiny suburban CVS, I was even more startled at the $3.89 price tag! I fully expected to have to order this stuff online, but it seems like it's an item that's easily obtainable at your local drugstore. Like another reviewer had mentioned, it was on the isle with the products from Mexico. Didn't have to look far to find it either.<br />It smells pretty good. I was expecting something lighter, but it definitely has a more 'masculine' scent to it. Not very feminine, in my opinion but that's ok since I don't bother with women's perfumes to begin with. I'm not a 'flowery scent' type of girl. For some reason it makes me think of my ex-boyfriend who is a sailor and is constantly around the water. Reminds me of the smell of the ocean mixed with a spritz or two of citrus lemon fruit. I got the Murray and Lanman 7 1/2 ounce bottle of this stuff, and I LOVE that it's in a plastic bottle. It's going to be on my altar and I have a curious cat who wanders around nosing things, so if he knocks it over it won't be a problem. There's a good deal of cologne in the bottle for the price you pay, so I expect to be able to use it in my rituals for a long time before I have to buy another bottle. At the price, you really can't complain.


I got the chance to try out this fantastic Age Defying Moisturizer and I have to say it really stood up to Insta Naturals products.  I have combo skin and it’s sensitive so when I find a moisturizer that works for my skin I just have to yell it from the roof tops.  This one was a lighter moisturizer it did not leave my skin greasy at all.  It soaked right into my skin and just left it feeling softer and looking better.  If you have sensitive skin like me it is best to only use most moisturizers at night.  If you have dryer skin use it morning and night to keep your skin from drying out.  The only thing I would change about this product is the wording on the bottle.  I have pretty good eye site but the white writing on the light yellow back ground was even a little hard for me to read.  Other than that this product was fantastic.  I love the pump top.  I always hate sticking my fingers in a jar.  This product was fantastic and I could see a different in my skin after just using it for a week.

I have had the chance to try out quite a few of inst naturals products and I have loved every single one. Insta naturals has a wide range of beauty products.  For your every day needs or even for specific needs.  You are sure to find what you are looking for here.  Their prices are great and you will really get a lot for your money.  I would suggest insta naturals to everyone.


Absolutely thrilled with this product. It works exactly as advertised, basically as a hybrid of hard gel and traditional liquid & powder acrylic, combining the best of each. The material from Gelish claimed "zero waste"-which I was, admittedly, skeptical about; the fact is though, is used correctly, there actually is zero waste. One unexpected benefit is adhesion: I've literally never seen a product adhere so well to natural nails.
I read in a couple of forums that it can't be layered with other products, such as gel or acrylic; however, I've found that I can do so without any problems.
I do usually find that I need to turn over my hand, after I remove the forms, and cure the underside of my nails for about 15 seconds (LED).
The only potential drawback I've found to this product is that it's not clear. It's sheer, which gives a final look very similar to that of a natural nail. If you need truly clear material, like glass, you're better off staying with hard gel.
One important note, though: this review is for the "sheer" poly gel. I recently thought I'd try the cover pink version, expecting it to be roughly the same as the sheer, and was utterly disappointed. It doesn't cure all the way through unless you apply it in very thin layers (which would defeat the point of using poly gel, so...) and even then cures so brittle and fragile that the nails will break if you look at them. My guess is that it has to do with opacity, which would mean the white is likely to act the same as cover pink (Fyi, I use a 48w hybrid LED/UV lamp).


I've worn wigs for years.  It started off because of extreme hair damage from products which led to extensions and more damage.  Wigs saved my natural hair, time and sanity. In the midst of that I found out I had thyroid disease which worsened the outlook of my real hair so if you have any of those worries or just want to save time fixing your own hair every day, this is a realistic, natural-looking choice.  The color is very natural, the roots are a light brown color and natural blonde mix throughout the rest.  There are 3 inner clips.  I always put in about 2-4 bobby pins as well around it and pick out some of my natural hair around the hairline to make it more natural (if you can do that I think it makes a big difference in any wig's natural look).  For me, a couple of bobby pins help me feel more secure as I'm pretty active and have small children but you'd likely be fine either way, personal choice.  The wig has a soft curl that stays even when you wash it.  I have not used any heat on it yet but I usually try to be as gentle as I can with wigs so I can keep them looking good longer.  All in all, this is my new favorite wig.  I feel confident wearing it all day long and have gotten a lot of compliments and even my family think this is the most realistic wig I have and if they didn't know I wore a wig that they would never guess it with this wig.  I've tried 100s and this one will be in my collection to stay.


I purchased my starter kit directly from Revel, plus an extra color. Since I rely on reviews from Amazon, I'm including mine to help others.
My colors are the first photo-Shady and Starburst.
My first attempt was with Shady and I did a great job on my left hand, but didn't smooth out the right enough. It held up well, but I only got a week out of it because I couldn't deal with the bad job I'd done on my right hand.
The second photo is the second time I did my nails and first time I used Starburst. Glitter is more forgiving.  I realized that with two coats of the color, you could still see the white of my nail through it. The second time I used this color, I used a white base (Fresh Cotton from Sally's). This second time is the grid photo with the purple/silver.

From start to finish (with bare nails) this takes about 45 minutes.

Advice:
1-Watch YouTube tutorials. All systems have different instructions, so they might not all apply to your kit. Keep that in mind as you watch them.
2-Let the dip dry before you brush off the excess. I didn't do that before, but employed that advice my third time (purple/silver photo) and it was a better experience.
3-Don't do this without a good buffer. A plain old nail file ain't gonna cut it!
4-I bought nail clips to hold the acetone-soaked cotton on my nails and it works way better than foil. I can do all my nails at once.
5-Before stating dip polish, after washing hands, wipe nails with alcohol pad. It gets all the oils off your nails. This is good advice for regular polish, too.


These small bars of soap smell really good and perform well in terms of cleansing and not leaving skin feeling stripped. I like that they are made in USA, handmade in Ohio. These are not fancy soaps. They are small, but they are not necessarily travel sized. They just have a good size and shape that fits perfectly into the hand. That stood out to me on first use. I really like how well it fits in my hand. The bars are tear dropped or pear shaped. More specifically, it is shaped to be a like a defense shield. Get it?  As this is meant to be a bit of an immune defense/support item.

The bars are thin, but not fragile. I can palm it and easily rub it all over without it falling out of my hand. I have been using one bar on and off for a couple of weeks now, and it isn't just disappearing. There are six loose bars in a resealable bag.

The soap has a slight intentional grit to it . This adds some scrubbing action. Creates a nice lather and rinses well. The scent is an intriguing mix of essential oils. Clove, Cinnamon, Oregano, Peppermint, Parsley, Eucalyptus and Rosemary essential oils Not overpowering. Really quite nice.

It has been an odd, but unexpectedly pleasant product to use. The price is budget friendly. I find nothing bad about them or my experience so far. I may consider them again when I run out. I really think they are worth the try.

I always have these tiny red bumps all over my cheeks. I've been looking for a bunch of solutions that can help but the only one that work for me is this oil right here! I've been using it for only a week and the difference was amazing!!! Tips if you are suffering with tiny red bumps like me. If you are using physical exfoliation you should stop right now. It exacerbates the red bumps! When I do exfoliation, I only really do the forehead and nose area. You can exfoliate your whole face with glycolic acid instead at least once a week if need be. I also use this oil first then I put on a moisturizer afterwards. If anyone wants to know the moisturizer I use, I've been using the earth to skin manuka gel moisturizer in the morning and the manuka night cream at night.(I always buy mine from walmart) but I find my face very dry in the winter so I sometimes used even the night cream in the mornings followed by an spf from sukin. It might feel heavy at first but I find that after a couple of minutes when out it actually gets a little absorbed on skin and wont feel as heavy when first applied. It had made my skin so dewy and so healthy looking and almost glowing!!

About the product:

And as always with skin care products, its not a one size fits all. Its a trial and error process. I do have combination skin(mostly dry on cheek areas and very oily on t zone area) and this oil worked for me. And I noticed a bunch of people complaining about the smell. You will only know what smells good for you if you actually tried it. Not everyone likes the same smell. But in my case I love the natural nutty scent of this oil.


I am in the midst of postpartum hair loss. I know there is very little I can do to stop it. But if there's anything I can do to slow it down a bit, I'm all for it. It's really scary to wash my hair and end up with clumps in my hand. I had no idea how to use this spray as I wasn't sure if it was intended to be a leave in after the 30 mins it states on the spray, or what. I wash my hair now 1-2 times a week, so I figured, eh I'll just spray some daily and see what happens. It's a light mist. It did not feel heavy nor weigh my hair down. It may have contributed to it getting oily a tad faster, but it really wasn't bad. I spray this starting at the middle part of my head and then all around. I just wait a minute or so to massage it into my scalp and just leave it. It does have a scent. I'm not crazy about it but it's not bad, I just usually prefer unscented for certain products. Well, after a week, I washed my hair. I was shocked when during my shower, I wasn't pulling out clumps and clumps of hair. Is it the rosemary? I've heard that can help with hair loss. But while I still had some strands come out, it was NOT as excessive as it has been! I am still in disbelief so I've stopped using this to see if there is a difference. Now, please not that I did have more hair fall out, as it usually does, when styling. So this was not a miracle spray that stopped it completely. But I am still very surprised that my shower drain didn't get clogged by all my hair. So with that, I'm currently really happy and I say, this is worth a try!


I'm a long-time blade shaver, but every 3-4 years I go on an electric shaver kick and use it for about a year.  I've never found a single electric razor that shaves as close as a blade, but I used to own a Norelco Advantage that gave a decently close shave that was pretty comfortable and didn't irritate my neck.

This is supposed to be the upgrade to the Advantage, but after just a few days of use my neck is chewed up far worse than it ever has been with any other electric.  It's annoying enough that I'm not willing to "wait it out" for the 30-day trial period that Norelco recommends, and I'll be returning it next week.

That being said, I can see from the other ratings that many people have had a lot of success with this shaver.  Part of my problem may be that I'm a shaving perfectionist and if I'm not getting a close shave in a given area I'll go over it again a few times until the hairs are cut off.  It boggles my mind that I can run an electric shaver over a patch of stubble and the stubble will sit there, unaffected, as if nothing at all had happened.  You don't see that happening with blades...

So in summary:
Pros: auto-filling lotion cartridge, waterproof, quick charging, does glide well over face (no irritation WHILE shaving, but boy you'll feel it later)
Cons: seems to cause ingrown hairs at a higher rate than its predecessors, very high neck irritation, lotion seems to drip off of razor head while shaving, not a very close shave.  NO ELECTRIC IS EVER AS CLOSE AS A BLADE, so I wish that Norelco and Braun would stop claiming such.


NEVER received it!!! AMAZON refunded my money, and  because of the great reviews I decided to purchase from another place. (Same Brand product) One of the reviews I saw, the girl had pressed the on switch and there was a "clicking" sound before the motor & fan kicked on. This device DID NOT work! The suction was at about 30% at best! (I immediately concluded this was a given sign of a defective product) Note: she purchased from Amazon, same EXACT link I initially did. Based on all other reviews; I saw MANY!  I decided to still purchase, but from somewhere else. I got my device roughly 2mos ago - I had a custom table built so that the dust collector could be put just below table top. From the time I received it I placed it top shelve in my closet (Safe & Sound). After the table was completed last night I finally plug it in and to my surprise what happens?... CLICKING!!! (🧘♀...I wanted to explode.) I watched/read approx. 40+ reviews & only ONE person had this happen... and now me. I cannot believe this; Yes, it is my fault for not immediately inspecting the item upon delivery, however,  with the odds of this happening I would like to think a company would make an exception, the IS a 6mo "satisfaction" guarantee... so why can I not get a new device. This just reads bad juju for this company for me and this device. I'm over it. Moving on! Would LOVE any recommendations, Please, on a dust collector that is in the same degree of price but I file high up so I need extreme suction power and a company that has a good policy with repairs or returns.


I got this from Amazon Warehouse, where it was open box but supposedly unused. I don't know if that was true, but the condition of my item is irrelevant to the review. This is a great light. It replaces both my 24w UV bulb lamp and my 9w LED UV lamp.

This thing cures Gelish and RCM so fast, and my manis are lasting so much longer without lifting or chipping. Most of the time now, I get bored or my nails grow too much before the polish even shows a hint of coming off. The LED placement is great, and it cures all 5 fingers at once with no trouble. There is a bit of heat, but it's minimal and I'd be surprised if anyone found it painful. I haven't tried the 99s low heat mode.

The sensor feature is nice. I was under the impression that I could set the timer to 30s or 60s once and forget it, but so far it seems like I have to choose a time every time. If not, it goes on until you remove your hand. I haven't gone over 105 seconds, so I'm not sure how long it would go for, but it definitely doesn't have a default shut off of 99s as advertised. My open box didn't include a user manual. I'm hoping to find one online.

The white of this model doesn't reflect as much light as those lined in silver. But it still leaks a fair amount of light. I'd definitely advise using glasses or averting your eyes. And make sure to keep kids away, because even the reflected light can be painfully intense.

It comes off the base for doing pedicures, and while the magnetic components seem to work well and the pieces fit together nicely, I don't polish my toes so I don't use this without the base.


The frosted glass looks good. The color of the plastic and silicone parts is darker than in photos, though. Judging from the website it's supposed to be off-white, actually called "classic linen," but the ones they sent out seem to be more beige. If that doesn't suit, there's also a "midnight blue" color available, which is a sort of medium gray blue judging from the photos (which may or may not be reliable).

Or you can take the silicone skirt off this--it's made so it's removable, good for occasional cleaning--and replace the push top with whatever color you want. It's a standard size. I think it looks better without the skirt even with the beige top. Just be careful not to break the bottle. It feels pretty sturdy.

The scent of the soap is lavender with citrus. (Not coconut--that's in the photo because it's where some of the saponified oil comes from.)

It washes well, doesn't leave any noticeable residue for me, though I suppose the aloe juice is intended to moisturize some.

It comes oddly over-packaged but in cardboard that can be recycled or biodegraded.

The ingredients given at the website are:

Saponified coconut oil, saponified olive oil, potassium soap, aloe juice, citric acid, sodium chloride (table salt), natural essential oil blend, vitamin E.

It's not clear why potassium soap is listed separately from the saponified oils, since that's what potassium soap is, oils turned into soap by the addition of potassium hydroxide (potash).


5 months after Covid Omicron I realized my normal seasonal hair shedding was more intense than it has ever been. I always lose alot of hair in spring. I have long hair so it seems like a ton, but my hair never really loses fullness. It never feels like it's thin. Even though I couldn't see it by looking at my styled hair or even in my part, I could feel that when the temp was rising, I was less hot. When the wind blew my hair, I could feel, it didn't take much of a breeze. I put my hair in a ponytail and I gasped at how small the circumference was. I have a ton of little hairs growing back in but, I really wanted to have some fullness back. The color match is perfect. The hair is shinier than mine, I think adding a little dry shampoo will knock it down a bit. I think if you're planning on wearing it straightened, I would take it in to your next salon visit and have it trimmed. I did this with some clip in extensions I got on Amazon that I really only wear for my husbands Christmas party. I had my hair dresser trim them so they'd blend better. I will do this with this one too. I'd suggest it especially if you have textured hair. I think you'll like it better.<br />I also would suggest if you have thinner or thinning hair, placing it further down would be better. The binding area where there are clips is less likely to show if you have more hair on top to disguise it. I have not had it trimmed and shaped yet since I just had my 8 week hair appointment a week before I ordered this. The only way I've worn it so far is in low braids. I don't think you could tell it was a halo. I look forward to wearing it with my hair down and styled. I think it's a nice halo for the price.


Truly loving these wipes. I appreciate that they are PH balanced 5.5 for the skin, fragrance free, and no harsh chemicals, like alcohol and they are hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested. All this is great for the sensitive areas! This criteria in wipes where hard to find so I was excited for these wipes. I have the 4 pack a try and thank goodness my husband and I love them because we got the 4 pack.
I am curious about the normal vaginal pH level bring between 3.8 and 4.5 and these wipes being used there for me. Though the PH balance of a man's Semen is between 7.2 and 8. So these wipes great because they can be used on the skin and on a women's vagina because the PH level isn't too far off. Seemingly multifunctional. I am curious if PURE could come out with a female wipe between the PH levels of 3.8 and 4.5 though I am not the expert and I don't know if that makes sense or not as the wipe will be used on the labia and the surrounding skin that is closer to the pH of 5.5.

Thank you for these wonderful wipes

P.S. the size is good at 7.85 X 6.3. for an even more luxurious wipe I would suggest 8 X 7 or so. I remember I liked a wire a lot that was maybe that size and similar to this brand though I completely have forgot the brand, hence the search elsewhere.


I am giving this four stars because the color of the stones is attractive, the fit was accurate, the shipping was quick and it's a very pretty ring that looks exactly like the photo... and I do not want to penalize the seller for my having overlooked a major flaw that is actually obvious in the photo.

But in terms of comfort?  I'd give this zero stars if I could.  The stones and prongs go all the way around the ring.  There's no flat band like you'd expect on the palm side of the ring.  So when you wear this, it's hard to forget it's on - it is poking, constantly.  All of this should be obvious from viewing the very accurate photo the seller has posted... but I suspect most will be like me and overlook or underestimate the trouble with a ring that has raised stones around the full 360 degrees.

The thickness of the band/stones/prongs is quite significant.  If you don't have decent gaps at the base of your fingers, you are likely going to find this ring annoying to wear.  I actually can't wear it at all - it forces my fingers to separate just enough that my hand ends up cramped after a few hours.  No stars off for that, though - I am aware that the cramping is the result of my own medical issues, and this may very well NOT be a problem for others.

It really is a beautiful ring.  I wish I could wear it!  Just be aware before you order that the 360 stone placement may be uncomfortable for you.


I love this Braun Silk Epil Female Epilator!  It made my wife's legs so smooth!  Yes, my wife let me epilate her legs.  I started by reading the directions, which were very easy to follow.  Charging it up took one hour and I knew it was fully charged because the charging light shone a steady green.  First, I exfoliated her legs. She sat on a stool and stretching her legs out rested her feet on the counter.  I attached the exfoliation brush and set it to sensitive skin and gently ran the brush over her legs.  She said it actually felt very nice.  I recharged the epilator after the exfoliating and cleaned the brush in water.  Then, per the directions, we waited a day before I epilated her legs.  I attached the epilator head and with her legs stretched out and feet balanced on the counter I turned the epilator to sensitive skin and began.  This epilator even has a little headlight!  The epilator head even pivots!  Then, slowly and steadily, I ran the epilator over her legs.  She said it didn't hurt.  This epilator is very thorough and removes the hair fast!  I didn't have to keep going over the same area, it removed the hairs the first time.  It left the skin very smooth!  She loves it and so do I!  Who knows, I may let her run it next time.  This epilator is very easy to use and clean, and it charges up fast!  I highly recommend the Braun Silk Epil Female Epilator!


I purchased this clipper and trimmer combo at Walgreens for $19.99. I was looking for something to just knock my hair down low. It gets the job done with ease due to the fact that I have very course thick hair. You might not be impressed with the build of the clippers especially the trimmer. Basically a plastic cheap material and the trimmer feels even more cheap and runs on a AA battery. I haven't tried the trimmer though I imagine it works fine it just doesn't have a lot of real estate to work with, I'd say it's mainly for touching up a mustache or outlining around your lips. The clippers have a powerful motor. I've been using Conair products for years and this is probably one of my favorites besides the beard trimmer I've owned for years. There isn't a dial on the left side to adjust the clippers for fading but on the right side is an adjustment for setting them to full power. I was able to use a set of combs from another Conair clipper that I have that doesn't work so I didn't have to open the new ones that came with this clipper. The clipper feels very light in my hands and comfortable to use. It didn't heat up too fast and when it did it cooled pretty quickly. Overall if you're looking to save a few dollars on the price tag get it at Walgreens. And if you just want knock a lot of hair with ease then this clipper will get the job done and I imagine for pets too with the added combs.


The very first glance of the jade massage tools, I was enamored of the rich green coloration. Plus the massage roller seemed to have a roller that was larger than usual. I was thus prepared to have this product exceed my expectations.
The roller has good quality materials, with decent manufacture. I am a bit dismayed because the rollers seem to interact directly with the golden tone metal arms. Most credible massage rollers have a 'buffer' , like a gasket, that minimizes the stone from rolling against the bare metal. This is important because direct contact will eventually take a toll on either part. The rollers on this tool more freely, but keep in mind that the stone is rolling against the metal rod. Add pressure and you have a circumstance wherein friction will gradually erode either of both contact surfaces. This issue is little noticed, unless you have some experience with this type of massage device.
The gua sha jade stone, also with the striking green hue, unfortunately had a number of issues. It has pitting on the surface, a nick on the edge and a few obvious scratches on the surface. I understand that natural jade stone will have imperfections, but nicks on the edge are not acceptable, and scratches that appear to be a machine error, not a natural phenomenon definitely affect the rating.
So, I have to say that my expectations were not met. In fact, sad to say, examination lead to disappointing issues. As such, this massage roller and gua sha earn a 3.5 - 3.75 star rating.


Used for my 2 Goldens which shed a lot.  They typically like to be brushed and don't mind the vacuum.  We typically take them to the groomers every couple of months.

PROS:  Did a great job brushing my dogs fur.  The size of the brush was perfect for a medium/ large dog.  (These bristles are not meant to tackle fur with knots and tangles.
I would pre-brush those out or the bristleswould bend.) My husband was worried that the way the attachments slid on that we would loose suction, but it was not noticeable.  My canister was filled with hair that would have otherwise been all over the floor. I loved that when you release the brush, the hair sucks immediately into the vacuum.  If you have a lot of hair coming off the dog, you don't have to worry about it getting on the floor.

CONS:  The way this attaches to our vacuum makes it inconvenient for dog placement.  The Shark has a handle which can get in the way.  A hose attachment would have helped with being able to brush from any angle.  You also have to be able to hold the brush down manually.  Which is great for easy release of fur to be suctioned, but can make your hand tired for big/ multiple dogs.  A locking mechanism option would be helpful.

With a hose and lock option this would be a 5 Star product.

I would recommend it for anyone looking for an handy, clean and quick way to groom their shedding dog!


I believe this is my first review on amazon, that's how much I love this stuff! We were using Burt's bees shampoo and burt's bees bubble bath for our daughter since birth. She's now 9 months and we've been using sweet baby shampoo for the past 6 weeks. We are SO happy we switched! My daughter had always had a habit of scratching at her crotch during and after her baths while we were putting her pajamas on. It's like something was irritating her down there. Not any more since we've switched to sweet baby! I wondered if there was an ingredient in Burt's bees that was bothering her, so I looked on the environmental working group website that provides ratings of the health safety of ingredients in products. Burt's wasn't rated too bad, but I wanted to find something that was rated the best it could be. That's when I discovered sweet baby. After reading the reviews on here, I was sold. We bought tropical baby and love the smell. It's very mild and nice. We just ordered our second bottle and will not stray from sweet baby products! I'm actually using it on myself to shampoo my hair and it's the softest it's ever been! Most importantly, it feels so good to use the safest, mildest product I could possibly use on my daughter and know that she's not irritated any more! Oh, and I was worried about her eyes possibly being irritated based on some other reviews, but nope. Not once!


I am happy to say that I am off to a wonderful start with this product.  I enjoy trying new products but I'm always a little nervous.  I have sensitive skin so some things just aren't the right match for me.  I keep hearing great things about Hyaluronic acid so I wanted to give this stuff a try.  I was very excited to find that this product causes me no irritation at all.  Feels great!  I started out trying this serum on the back of my hand just in case.  I had no issues whatsoever.  The second day I got brave and tried it on my face.  It feels great on my face too.  It will take a little while to see how much change I may have in my skin so I'll have to follow up on that.  I will say that it smells great...very light scent that is almost not noticed at all...I like that.  The serum also absorbs very quickly.  It is supposed to be used prior to a moisturizer. It is helpful to me that it absorbs really quickly so I can move on to adding moisturizer.  I have two kiddos to get ready for school and have to get ready for work and such myself.  I appreciate anything in my morning routine that is quick but effective.  I love how my skin feels after applying this serum, by the way.  Extra smooth.  I'm looking forward to adding other Sublime Beauty products to my routine if this is an indicator of their quality.


In reading the comments I noticed that almost no one compared different shavers.
I have used a Norelco for years but I wanted something that was better and quicker to use on a two or three day beard.  I have a Philips Norelco 4500.  I bought the Wahl Smart Shave and the Braun 3040s.
After a two week trial I came up with the following observations.
On all three the blades float so they stay close to the face as you shave.
On the Norelco and the Wahl the head swivels too.  It’s nice but I would not miss it if it were not there.
The Norelco is smoother and quieter than the other two.  It is also the easiest to clean.  It only takes one hand. Norelco recommends (and it is true) that saving in a circular motion works the best with their shaver.
The Norelco and the Wahl have Lithium batteries.  The Braun has an NiMH battery.  I like the Lithium.
I think the Wahl and the Braun shave closer than the Norelco but they are all close.
As for the trimmers, they all cut about the same.  I would not buy a shaver without it. The Wahl is harder to manipulate.  It has a nice metallic finish but that makes it hard to move up or down.  It slips under your thumb.
The Wahl has the better battery and charge level indicator and a five year warranty. Wahl replacement head and blades are not on Amazon now.  The Braun blades are easier to replace and the part is available on Amazon. Norelco blades are also easy to replace and available on Amazon.
I like all three shavers.  For those with a light beard or with a medium beard and you shave every day I would recommend the Norelco.  For those with a heavy or a three day beard I would recommend the Braun.


I really do like these wipes. They work very well at removing all of your make up, even water proof mascara.
It only takes one wipe to remove everything (foundation, eyeshadow, eyeliner, brow powder, and mascara). I feel it actually does do a good deep cleaning to unclog pores. I say this because I use a face primer - which fills in open pores and acne scarring, and concealer - which also fills in open pores and acne scars. And after using a wipe I can clearly see that my pores are indeed empty (as well as my acne scars). And I do have slightly large pores on my nose and cheeks. They have green tea, vitamin e, aloe vera and grape seed in it. All of which are very good for your skin!

It actually leaves your skin feeling very smooth and soft. The wipe itself is really soft too, it reminds me of the cottonelle wet wipes for your bum haha. I have very sensitive skin and this did not bother my skin at all. It's actually a very strong material and can stretch quite a bit before you would tear it.

Now the reason I only gave it four stars is because of the scent. Fragrance is listed in the ingredients, but it doesn't say what fragrance. To me the scent is quite strong and smells of cosmetics you would get back in the sixties or so. I guess I would say it has an "old lady" scent. It does go away after your face dries but it is strong until it dries.


There has been much discussion about this product on Amazon and professional nail tech blogs.  One of the most serious issues is the absence of a safety data sheet (SDS) from the manufacturer.  By law, manufacturers selling chemical products in the United States must provide accurately documented SDS upon request.  The manufacturer of this product has not provided such a SDS.  We ordered a product through Amazon which arrived via China Post/USPS identified as 'Makeup Tools' for customs purposes.  As professional chemists, we analyzed this product (pH, FTIR, TGA, elemental analysis and GC-MS).  This alkaline product contains methylene chloride, methanol, n-butoxyethanol, a series of n-alkane hydrocarbons and two different petroleum boiling point distillate fractions.  Methylene chloride and methanol are known toxic chemicals which can be absorbed through the skin and inhaled into your respiratory tract.  Please use Google to search for and open the SDS docs for these two chemicals and read the hazards.  This product is similar to a methylene chloride containing industrial paint strippers which are being removed from the marketplace due to their toxic ingredient(s).  This product is not suitable for sale to the general public or to the professional nail community as a nail polish remover.  AMAZON is derelict in its duty to police the products it sells; in this case the product is highlighted as "Amazon's Choice".  Please be aware that there are other brands of 'Magic Remover' being offered for sale with a similar name, paper label and bottle shape.  Buyer Beware!


[[VIDEOID:320116271bad63ca81ada02ccef2fa90]] This is the nicest packaged makeup brush set I've gotten on here so far. I don't mean beautiful packaging but the fact that they sterilized it and individually packaged the brushes in a sterile manner makes this product stand out from other brush sets. I prefer a clean, sanitized brush over a fancy box that I’ll end up throwing away. The price is also VERY reasonable for the quality of brushes I received. No, it is not high end brush quality but I'd rather get this starter set for $13 over one brush that would cost me $50-$80. I guess I'm not a makeup brush snob or a professional makeup artist so I just don't understand paying that much for a makeup brush. I thought these were great quality, the bristles are so soft, the color scheme is beautiful, and I love the plain matte handles. This one does not have any brand or printed words on the brush handles, which I haven't seen in a while. The brush sets I've gotten on here always has a brand stamp and sometimes they are a little corny sounding or tacky looking - this one is perfect. I thought the size of the brush is just right, good density - bottom line is I have no complaints about these! This is a set I would recommend getting. Don't let the price scare you off from thinking you are getting a bad quality brush set - it is better than I had expected.


This is going to sound really stupid, but I could never figure out why certain shades of pink lipstick never looked the same on my lips as they did in arm swatches. I really never connected the thing is that I have pigmented lips, and because they pull red, any color always has a reddish cast to it. And definitely no pink lipstick, especially anything lighter than medium, ever looked right.

I started looking around to see if there was some product I could use, since foundation is just drying and causes flaking. I was told that MAC makes a good lip coverup, but it's $20 (why is everything at MAC $20 and up?) I don't have a problem spending the money, but since there's no freestanding MAC store near me, I thought I'd give this Etude House concealer a try.

And it's good. Unlike plain foundation, it's very glossy when you first apply it. It truly blots out your real lip color; it's like lip White-Out. In a mirror, you look like you're looking at a photo negative!

This stuff is way too glossy to put anything over it without blotting. The dry down takes forever without blotting, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that once I blotted, the white out effect was still very much there, just not glossy, and so, ready for lipstick. The one thing it does really well  is block out the red of my lips and give my lip products a much truer color payoff.

I was very pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out. The only caution I'd say is you don't need to put on as much of this as I did; you'll just be wasting product, and there's no dry down when you overdo it!


I’ve been using natural fiber loofahs (not the plastic kind) off and on since 2010. By nature there is some variation, depending on the size of the underlying plant, the way it’s made/grown, any bleaching, softening or other treatments applied that may change the texture. This is GREAT value for three medium-to-small sized natural loofahs.

The first time you use it you gotta soak it in warm water to puff up (it will turn into an oval cylinder, rather than staying like a flat pad) and release its seeds. I didn’t find the seed quantity to be gross or unreasonable, though it’s definitely different than most natural loofahs you’ll buy in a drugstore or Whole Foods, say—those tend to be treated and at least prewashed, to remove the seeds etc.

The smell: I have a super sensitive nose. Just speaking for the item I received, this is 100% “normal loofah smell” —a little grassy, kind of like dried clean straw that’s been dampened again—with a bit of a smoky smell. It’s not offensively smoky. Like a lot less than most whiskey. No “funk,” though the natural loofah herbaceous-ness  does get stronger when it’s wet.

I didn’t find this too scratchy at all—in fact, by the time I’d finished soaking out the seeds I found it a little soft for my liking. To be fair I do drybrush about once a week, so I’m used to a good scrub. But if you know what a “normal store-bought loofah” feels like, this is no scratchier than that. If you have super sensitive skin, try using this after it’s soaked in a bowl or tub of hot(!) water for 10 min or so, with some emollient body wash like Aveenk.


Vitamin C is one of my favorite skincare products. It really is a wonderful all around ingredient; it helps with brightening skin, lightening age spots, stretch marks, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

I like the packaging of this product. It is easy to read the information on the label. I love that it comes in a pump dispenser bottle; very hygienic and easy to use! A small pump was enough serum to cover my whole face and some of my neck, which shows that this bottle will last me a long time. The serum itself has a somewhat unpleasant scent, but not anything that bothers me. The scent wasn't noticeable once I applied the product to my face. The serum went smoothly onto my face. As it was absorbing into my skin, my face felt sticky. As the product absorbed into my skin, I feel like it didn't fully absorb into my skin. It left a slight film on my face. The serum doe help to make my face brighter and look more awake in the morning! I have also been using this serum at night, after my toner and before my moisturizer. I have noticed that with regular use of this serum, my skin is brighter and my fine lines are diminishing, which is amazing!

Vitamin C serums can be used for more than just the face. Vitamin C is great for helping with stretch marks and aging hands as well. My mother has always used vitamin C on her hands, and they look very young for her age! I am excited to try this serum for those purposes too!

This serum also has other ingredients that are beneficial for the skin in terms of anti-aging, acne, and redness. Hyaluronic acid and vitamin E are amazing for the skin and anti aging. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.


These headband/ribbon style curlers work very well.<br />These velour ribbons are really well thought out, there is filling in parts of it to make it large enough that it’ll create large curls. The parts of the ribbon that goes on top of the head are flat, they don’t need to be thick, because there is no hair curling on it: this makes it look less like a curling contraption and more like a normal headband that you can wear in public. The ends are also flat with no filling, this makes it easier to tie it on top of your head. I usually use thin cloth elastic headbands to make headband curls, but my hair is super long, so I run out off headband space because it isn’t open ended. These are way better than my elastic headbands, because they make larger curls. They are long enough for my lower back length hair. And after wrapping my hair, and tying it in place with hair elastics, I can wrap the ribbon back around my head and tie them. The poofy part is a little bulky to sleep in, but it’s not uncomfortable. I got the black and champagne set, the champagne color is really just a buttery yellow, not really what I would call champagne. There are 2 headbands, 2 hair clips, 4 hair elastics, 1 elastic headband, and a soft velour carrying bag. These create beautiful, big, beachy waves.


I have really bad eczema on my skin which am now managing but now I noticed I am getting small spots of it on my scalp. This dry scalp treatment has helped my scalp a whole lot since I have been using it. I like that it comes in a spray bottle so it makes it easy to apply to my hair. The directions say to put it in the palm of your hands to apply but I find it easier to apply with the spray bottle. Once you apply it to your hair and scalp make sure you massage it in. It really soothes my scalp and makes it feel better. I let it sit in my hair for 30 minutes and then rinsed it out with warm water. Then the next day I shampoo and conditioned my hair. I have been using it for about 3 week twice a week and I am getting great results using it. My scalp isn't itchy or dry as much. It doesn't leave my hair greasy or oily so that's a plus. This serum also contains high quality ingredients that have been helping with the health of my hair as well. The bottle is 4 oz and you don't have to use much so this bottle will last me awhile. This serum smells good also. My step daughter has dry hair and I have been using it in her hair and she is getting great results as well. I will continue to use this scalp serum because it does work. I would recommend it to anyone having these issues with their hair and scalp. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.


OK I bought this product thinking it would be returned.  Surprise- surprise the tool t worked.  I used this Precision Hair Removal tool on my upper lip and lower lip.  The fine hairs were removed with ease.  As you get closer to ends of your lips near the corner of your mouth,  you have to finish with old school tweezers.  This product does not remove long hairs- for those hairs like the two or three that grow out on your chin, you have to use tweezers as well.  But for the small hairs that create that post puberty shadow mustache, this tool works great.  I was able to clean the tool out with the tiny brush provided after removing the safety plastic cover.  I think the other poor ratings were just a matter of expectations or if they tried to use this tool for anything but the upper and lower lip.  No arms, no bikini, etc..  I no real expectations and was pleasantly surprised.  As I stated, clearly long hairs this will not be removed.  Short fine baby hairs on your face the tool works great.  Amazing when I look at the tool I cannot really tell you how it works, but it does.  No blade or anything like that.  Oh, I tried to clean up my eyebrows- not the tool for that either.  So, to keep the hairs off your upper and lower lip with no chemicals, waxes or threading- this is your guy.  I purchased this product really cheap at CVS for $9.99 and that motivated me since I hardly had anything to loose.  I know I would not have even tried the tool for $24.99.  Just me, since it only works for one application.


I have very prominent dark circles under my eyes. It is a hereditary condition that plagues many people in my family, and when I am stressed and not sleep well, my dark circles become especially pronounced. No matter what makeup product I used to try to cover up my dark circles, they always showed through. I decided to try “SOONPURE Retinol Eye Gel” in hopes that the product would help alleviate the darkness around my eyes enough for me to cover them with makeup.

This product is formulated to help eliminate eye bags in addition to treating undereye dark circles. Since I do not have an issue with undereye bags (I actually have the reverse issue – hollowed eyes), I can't speak for whether or not it works for that. However, I can say that this product does seem to encourage the blood circulation under my eyes and make them appear less tired and haggard. The ingredients are also said to repair and regenerate the sensitive skin around the eyes.

I have not been using this product long, but I do feel that the fine lines around my eyes are less pronounced after I use it. Since it contains retinol, a product proven to help with fine lines, I anticipate the long term effects to be quite positive. The short term effects are definitely promising so far. My dark circles do seem less pronounced, and I am able to cover them with makeup better. I am pleased with the results I am experiencing, and I really look forward to seeing what the long term results are.

I must disclose that this product was received at a discounted cost for my honest and unbiased review. My opinion was not altered due to the product being discounted. If I do not believe in a product, I will not give it a positive rating. Please leave a comment if you have any further questions. Thanks for taking the time to read my review!


So this unit is very heavy because it is LONG! I had to trim it up because it was pulling my head down when I would wear it.

If you're looking for a red wig that has 3 fastener combs, this only has the 1 placed in the back. I don't use a cap because my head was shaved when I bought this so I didn't need the other 2 combs that normally are at the front of wigs. My hair is long enough now to put in a bunny tail so that comb in the back just sits underneath my bunny tail and that works fine for me.

The parting is meant to be centered. I am able to part it to the side but I'm not really willing to pluck another parting because I don't think it would look very nice. I would say if you want to part it to the side, your best option would probably be to just shift the wig so the natural part is to the side instead of plucking a new one into it.

I will say that I was a little disappointed with how shiny the red color was. It doesn't look as real as I was expecting BUT that's okay because I only use this wig to stream video games in (you can't see the shine on the webcam) and I got it for $36.99 when it was on sale.

Overall I would say it was better than what I expected for being under $40! It would make a good Halloween wig as well!


I love my lamp so much. I got it to help me with my immune system and cancer BUT OMG! It worked on my autonomic nervous system so well that it was shocking! I was so impressed! I am a practitioner of a method for reducing PTSD symptoms in people. Have been for many years. Am always looking for ways to help people restore their "fight or flight" to its optimal settings (turning off when there is no threat present). As soon as I sat down under my lamp, I had an immediate "clearing" of some past trauma, that I recognized because of my training. I was in awe. This went on for nearly 20 minutes while I just observed. Afterward I went and looked up PTSD & Infrared light and found the studies. Whoa. This lamp has the right amount of power to induce calming effects when used regularly. BTW, I was introduced to this exact lamp when I would go do treatments for cancer. While sitting there with the IV bag, I could feel very relaxed and warmed. I knew my body was craving it enough for me to buy my own. It was not untl I was in the comfort and safety of my own home, with only family around, that I experienced the deepest level of relief. I do think environment will matter, however it's amazing to think that light is capable of inducing powerful healing states! Highly recommend. Finally, my lamp came with all the parts. A friend and I put it together in 4 minutes, once everything was unboxed. It was nice to have a second set of hands but I could have done it by myself. We did use a set of plyers for the piece that connects the base to the pole, Not sure it was necessary but it did help to get things very, very tight. I would buy again. Am saving up to get one for my parents who are elderly. They need this!!!


The item arrived packaged very well in a blue box bearing the name of the company. The hair was bound and netted. They also sent free eyelashes and extra clips.

 For reference, I ordered the 16” 1B 4b/4C clip ins. I was impressed with the 8 clip ins in this set. The clips are sturdy and sewn on well. The hair is a very defined curl right out of the box. The hair smelled like most hair extensions right out of the pack.

Upon washing the hair there was a lot of shedding. I was slightly concerned at this point. Once I conditioned it and brushed the conditioner through more hair was shed. After washing the conditioner out, applying leave ins and curling cream the hair didn’t shed anymore. I laid the clip ins out to dry and now the texture looks like my wash and go. I used S curl and Cantu curling custard as my leave ins and the hair feels soft and moisturized.

I measured the hair un-stretched  and it measures about 9” when I stretched it, the bulk of the hair didn’t reach 16”.  I measured it at 14”. I couldn’t take a photo of this because I needed both hands to measure and stretch the hair.

All in all I am impressed with this hair and can’t wait to wear it.

Update
I have been wearing these clip ins since receiving them. They look just like my wash and go! My mom thought they were my hair. I’ve inserted some photos of the hair.


I’m not all that impressed with these products. Neither container lists the ingredients on the label, instead providing the ingredient list on a card that’s in the box. It shows that the cleaner is a 2% salicylic acid wash, which is a pretty tried and true formulation for treating acne. It is a low-lather, but still effective cleaner, but I didn’t experience any difference with this compared with other 2% salicylic cleaners that cost far less. It’s a fine cleaner, but way overpriced for such a tiny (0.51 oz) container.

The repairing night cream is a combination of retinol (0.05%), niacinamide (3%), and hyaluronic acid (2%). All are proven performers, but again, it’s quite overpriced considering how low of a percentage of retinol is in the formulation. It does a decent job of moisturizing and did not cause any skin irritation. I am a fan of retinol, but the concentration in this cream (0.05%) is well below what I usually use (either 0.1% or 0.5%).

While this product combo is on the right track, the value is just not there considering the amount in the container (one-half an ounce for each). While I would certainly recommend a salicylic acid wash and a retinol-based cream, there are many other options that provide these options at a far lower cost. Four stars for performance; 1 star for value; overall rating of 2.5 stars.


I wanted to use this cream for a couple of weeks after receiving it, then write my review....I've used quite a few "natural" products! That's always been my thing, natural, or organic even better!...this one is fantastic! One warming, if you're looking for something completely weightless, this might not be for you. (Depending on the amount you use.) However, now that I'm past a certain age, I like a little something more! This cream is very smooth and absorbs great! I ordered it because I wanted a day cream with a bit of SPF for summer, but I like it as a day and night cream both! My makeup also goes on nicely with this underneath. Makes my skin feel like velvet! Other all natural creams of this same type that I've used in the past tend to sometimes have a grittiness. (Only a guess, but I'm thinking shea butter must sometimes separate and get tiny chunks.) NOT the case here at all! This cream is very homogenized. There is just a very slight hint of an herb-y scent, almost undetectable, which I also like!  The only down side to this product might be the price. Honestly, I don't usually pay this much for a small jar of skin cream, but, as mentioned, a little goes a long way. I use a dab somewhat larger than a pea for each use, so the jar should last awhile!...Shipping and packaging was also excellent!


I'm in my early 30s, and I've been breaking out with pimples on my face for the past few years. I've never had bad skin before, but I'm back in school and working full time, so maybe the stress is causing my breakouts. Anyway, I've tried SO MANY treatment options: salicylic acid products, benzoyl peroxide treatments, charcoal soap, sodium bentonite clay mask, oil facial wash, and finally a prescription for tetracycline. The only treatment that worked for me was the prescription, BUT it makes birth control pills INEFFECTIVE!!! No thanks, I'm not getting pregnant for the sake of having a clear face. So I finally stumbled across this sulfur-based product at Walmart this week. Wow, I'm so impressed and thankful I found this little tube of beige goo.

I used it as a spot treatment the very first night I purchased it. My two forehead pimples that previously became gooey (again) overnight were dry! The next morning I used the creme all over my face, under my foundation. Again, my pimples stayed dry throughout the day, AND the overall oiliness of my skin was much improved! Finally! I think I've found something that actually works. Happy dance!!

Note, it does NOT provide much coverage (for me, anyway). But I just applied my normal concealer over this product, and it worked beautifully. Because the pimple stayed dry, I didn't have to reapply concealer.

It does have a *slightly* unpleasant odor, but I only smell it occasionally. I doubt anybody else can smell it unless they're, like, licking your face or are sitting WAY within your bubble of personal space.

I'm so happy the sulfur is helping my skin. I've even ordered a few more sulfur products (a soap, a cream, and a mask), which I'm anxious to start using.


Great little lamp for home use.
I started out with the smaller version ( where 1-2 fingers max could fit in) and i loved that one, but i grew a little tired of having to cure each vinger seperately, which used up so much more of my time. But because i've had this lamp for a while now, i couldn't find what brand it was to search for another version of it.
So initially i was searching for a dual lamp ( UV/LED ) but also very cheap and small because of home use.
Then i came across this sensationail and i knew i had to have it!
No regrets here. its a great lamp. It's big enough to fit 4 fingers at a time but small enough to easily travel with. It won't use up much space in your siutcase. Its very sturdy and beautifully made. The charging cord reaches almost 2 meters which isn't very far but it's do-able. It gives a convenient beep when the nail is flash cured and automatically turns off when fully cured. It has a flat " on " button located at the top of the lamp which is very handy to operate and will not give you a chance to accidentally dent your freshly painted nails while pressing start.
I've had this lamp for 4 months now ( and used it weekly ever since ) and it still works great!
Compared to other lamps i've seen i think the price is great plus you get very good quality in return.


OH MY LANTA. Let me just say, this is the BEST product for heat protectant that I have EVER used.  HERE'S WHY!
My observations/experience:
~Nozzle is easy to squeeze... doesn't hurt my hand when using it for a while. It's SMOOTH, and fits perfect in my hand.
~It's pretty decent sized bottle!
~When sprayed, it's quite misty and powerful! Doesn't clump up. Not thick, not thin. Perfect consistency.
~The formula smells nice, light with a hint of hair spray smell ( not a negative smell!)
~ The formula is NOT STICKY WHAT SO EVER. I'm not kidding. From every aspect of this spray... to application to drying to even hair straightening. It is NOT EVER sticky. That is a HUGE plus in my book!!!
~Really DOES cut drying time without drying out your hair! Approx. times- Without spray:27 minutes root to tip. With spray:18 minutes root to tip
~NO FRIZ AFTERWORDS. Heeellooooo beautiful where have you been all my life! GORGEOUS soft, healthy, bouncy hair. I couldn't believe it at first. Seriously. And I'm a huge stickler when it comes to things like this.

 Overall, I could NOT be happier. I am 100% extremely impressed. I will no longer buy anything else for heat protectant. It DOES do everything it says!
I received this product at a discount for my HONEST, UNBIASED review!


When it comes to primer, I've tried a ton of different brands, from high end to drugstore brands, but I always goes back to the same one. I'm very particular about primer, especially when it comes to how it feels on my face and the texture of it.  I was interested to try this, but it was going to take a lot to really impress me.

One thing that will turn me off from a primer immediately is the smell.  I don't like my primers to have a strong smell or anything like that, and right away I was pleased with the way this smells. I really liked the texture of this. I've found that most primers that work really well tend to have this texture, it's definitely thicker than a lotion and isn't runny at all.

Obviously the true test is how well does your makeup hold up??? Well, I worked a 10 hour shift and my face makeup still looked amazing, which is saying a lot during the summer! In fact, I kind of hope they make an eyelid primer, because as you can see in the picture my eye makeup did NOT hold up as well as my face makeup did!

My favorite primer happens to be a high end primer that generally tends to "smash" the competition, but I would say this primer is on par with that primer, and I love the addition of the vitamin E!

I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest, unbiased opinion.


My right eye started to droop so I started looking for products to combat that. Ive used similar products before - I've been training my eyes for the double eyelid for years. I naturally have creases, but wanted them to be bigger and more prominent to open up my eyes. These are amazing! I was a bit skeptical at first since other glue and tape products have let me down all together, was too uncomfortable, couldn't wear with makeup, and most importantly, it was way too obvious.. This one is seemless!!! I wear eyeliner near the outer ends of my eye, so I apply it like usual, then gently put the tape over it, and use the creasing tool to gently push up and into my crease. Make sure to push in the crease gently or your skin will stick to the tape too much and it won't allow your natural crease or new crease to form and it will look too unnatural. Then Done! Don't be discouraged and don't give up if this is your first time using double sided sticky tape. This was my first time and I had so many trial and errors, it took practice to get it right but it's so seemless that my husband didnt notice until I told him. It does not smear or get in the way of your makeup and stays on literally all day and night. I have put one on in the morning, and just fell asleep on the couch and it was there the Next Morning without moving it having bothered me through the night. I feel annoyed with all the other products I've purchased and wasted money and energy on. I will never go with any other product again. Good luck!


I received this product in exchange for an honest review. All opinions herein are my own and are not swayed by the company.

I was absolutely ecstatic to receive this product in the mail to try! I am always have issues with my hair. One of these issues is that fact that it ALWAYS lays flat. It is the most annoying thing to me to not be able to make my hair do anything other than straighten it.
I am so thankful that I have been introduced to this product because I know I have a new favorite hair-styling product. Zotos is cheap! It's only $12.99 on Amazon. If you're interested, you can also check out their other products on their website.
Not only do I love the fact that it definitely makes my hair have more volume, but I completely adore the fact that the smell is amazing! This product has no harsh smells that some hairsprays have. It actually smells like you're getting your hair done in a salon with that amazing hair salon smell that I love!
This product is extremely unique because it has a blend of clay and silica. This enables the spray to feel dry as it goes on as well as help build texture that lasts for a whole night of partying, (or whatever you enjoy doing). It's also color safe which is an absolute huge bonus for me!
This is a super easy product to use as well. You don't have to have a special type of brush to use it to style your hair. All you do is open the cap, shake the product, spray onto dry hair. I like to blow dry my hair after I put it on because the heat helps me when I'm styling.
If you actually want to style your hair rather than just put it on and go, just do whatever hairstyle you want, spray the product, and voila! Amazing hair results in a short amount of time.


I try to avoid reviews for products before I try them myself, but I was kinda shocked to see a low rating so I peaked. Other reviews mentioned things like how watery the product was and how yellow-y the color was, and I'll admit, I was worried. But just because one person has a bad product, doesn't mean that I would have the same experience.

Turns out, I did.

When I opened the container, I saw the same runny, milky yellow gloop (this is NOT a cream by any stretch of the imagination) as I saw in the other reviews. There is a sparkle also, which I'm sure is meant as cosmetic, to make it more appealing. I almost didn't want to dip my finger in it, but I did. It was a very thin product left on my finger. Then I sniffed it. It was a horrid scent; I cannot quite describe it, as it's (fortunately) not strong enough to really kick in, but the scent is unpleasant and just "wrong".

Right there, I probably could have enough justification to not use the product. But I wanted to attempt to be thorough, so I did. I dabbed my finger into the jar of liquid shimmery gloop, ignored the scent and rubbed it on my face. And I was fine - it was pretty moisturizing (my skin tends to be dry so that is good for me), soaking through pretty quickly and leaving my skin soft.

This isn't a cream; this is a liquid. And everything about the liquid sets off alarm bells, from the thickness to the texture to the color to the smell. Fortunately, the product itself seems to work - I'd need to use it longer to see if it does long term. But I don't know if I can manage to use it that long - couple that with the EXORBITANT price of $49, I will definitely NOT be repurchasing.


I've been fighting the war of the beards since about 1952 when I was working at a TV shop where we sold Shick electric shavers so that's what I started with. Except during army basic training I have never used anything but electric. I bought a Norelco rotary at the PX once and promptly gifted it to another soldier as it always lost the battle against my beard. Many years later I was very happy using the shaver that caused Victor Kiam to purchase Remington and I still have several of those that use the now unavailable SP42 head. As it's replacement I have an MS2 that uses the SP69 head. That gives a nice close shave but it's gone from the sales world too. It is great for a close shave but no good if it's been over a day so the SP42 is used first to shorten the long stuff then the SP69 to finish the job. I was hoping this Wahl 7061-900 would be a good replacement for both those old shavers and it makes a good compromise. With a lot of effort it will plow through a 2 day growth and the final result is decent but not as close as the Remington with the SP69 head. I have not mastered the trimmer yet so I go back to either of my old Remingtons for trimming sideburns and to get a straight line on my mustache. If replacement heads ever become available for this shaver I'm hoping they may have solved the close shave problem but I think possibly there is no way to get a close shave and a 2 day beat down out of the same head. I guess the close shave requires a very thin screen while the 2 day requires larger holes that can't be put in a thin screen.


I wasn't expecting much when I saw these and basically figured they were going to be like the average ones you can buy at the dollar store.  I bought them to do my maternity, and children clients for photography so I figured I would be able to fix them in post processing if they didn't look right.  I was literally amazed at the quality, these are so beautiful and are such a great quality, I haven't used them on a client yet but I can't wait to!  I will not have to use any type of post processing for these because of the great quality.  My daughter is four and it fit around her head without falling off and then it also stretches and fits on my head comfortably as well.  I am sure over time it will stretch out more and maybe have to be pinned for the kids but thats fine by me.  These are absolutely beautiful and come with so many color combinations that I have so many different looks planned all from this one pack.

I recently recieved this brush through amazon. Wow, what a diffrence i can see already. After waiting the recomended 24 hour charge time i used my brush and it was one of the deepest cleans i have gotten since i went to the dentist.

I am a chewer, and from that i have some stains on my front teeth that i have always hated. After using this tooth brush only three times i see a difference in not only teeth color (much whiter) but also gum health. My gums are becoming healthier with every use.

Some things to be ready for:

1) The brush head is very small for my mouth, it is perfect for someone with small teeth and a small mouth. I wish the brush head was a little bigger.

2) It tickles at first. Very much so. I didnt have any problem with it realy but it did make me laugh a little when i did the back of my front teeth. This tooth brush will progressivly get stronger over 12 uses. I think this feature is nice because if you have never used one before it can be a bit much at first.

3) Make sure you turn it on when its in your mouth and turn it off before you take it out. I had to clean my mirror three times so far because the vibrations sling toothpast every where lol.

All in all this is the first sonic toothbrush i have ever used, but because of the results i have seen so far and the price i am now a sonic user for life.

My husband and I have fair, delicate skin. And we live in Minnesota which has nasty winters at best, and a polar vortex at worst. I wash my hands a lot, and my husband works outdoors. For years we have tried all sorts of fancy, expensive creams, lotions, glues, serums and other magic potions in the pursuit of something to soothe our chapped, dry, cracked skin, with minimal success. We have a kitchen drawer resembling a graveyard of mediocre products for which we’d had high hopes.

Until now. Honey Guy Waterblocker Skin Cream!!!!  I spotted this product at a store two years ago. I made a note and because I’d lost hope years ago of finding a true solution for our dry skin problems, promptly forgot. Two years later I took a chance and ordered a jar. This stuff is amazing!  It doesn’t feel or smell the greatest. But, it’s worth it. This stuff coats your skin and makes a true barrier. My husband first noticed the differences during a job at which he was pulling old wiring from a home. This is a dirt job that leaves skin black and stained. During a break in the day he pulled out his heavy duty man wipes in attempts to clean up a little until he could get to a sink. To his amazement, the black wipes right off!  The Waterblocker Skin Cream really did create a barrier on the skin!

Our son and myself have started to use this as well and indeed, it’s better than anything we have ever tried. We have ordered our second jar, and recommended it to all our friends who are also sick of supergluing our Scandinavian skin together in attempts to defend against the brutal elements.

The only way I could love this more is if I could find it locally (it’s no longer carried where I originally saw it). Regardless, this has become a permanent staple in our home!


I have very short, sparse, "barely there" eyelashes. Without mascara and a complex routine on my lashes alone, they're barely noticeable. It really is a shame that I have to spend so much time on my eyelashes when my husband wakes up with eyelashes looking like they're straight out of a mascara commercial.

Anyway, I've been using a very cheap, plastic eyelash curler for the past few weeks, and let's just say, it doesn't get the job done. It makes my eyelashes stick together at the base, which prevents them from spreading out to create that full look that I desire to achieve. I decided to say goodbye to the cheap-o eyelash curler and try something different.

My first impression of the Bella and Bear Eyelash Curler is that it was made of high-quality materials. It was much heavier (but not too heavy) than my plastic curler, and seemed to have a lot more thought put into the design. The grips were comfortable and slip-resistant, which really helped me feel at ease (as much "at ease" as possible when you put some weird metal contraption next to your eye). Fortunately, and to my surprise, I didn't end up pinching myself as I *always* seem to do with my plastic one.

The results were pretty astounding. Not only did it curl my lashes at the base and make them stand up nice and pretty, it also helped spread them out. It not only curled my center lashes, but also those tiny ones at the inner corner of my eye. I didn't even know those lashes were there, to be honest with you. After applying mascara, I was perfectly satisfied. I didn't have to go through my complex routine of separating, brushing, etc. All I needed to do was curl and apply a couple coats of mascara.

What a breeze!


This water flossed does everything it’s supposed to, and well; however, there are some difficulties using a water flossed of this design: It’s big, bulky, has to stay upright, and the buttons are where you grip the device.
I can’t keep from accidentally hitting buttons while using it. If they recessed the buttons, or put the buttons elsewhere, that would be an improvement. Something to prevent bumping the buttons.
Needing to hold the machine upright, and it’s size, make it very difficult to maneuver around to where the pick should go.
The volume of water this dispenses is more than anticipated. It will fill up a mouth fast.
My experience was, it’s messy, and has to be waterproof. You have to resist removing the device from your mouth when it’s on or it will spray everything everywhere. This is a difficult temptation to fight when you bump a button from gentle to pulse, or are just trying to reach the right spot and try adjusting position, or are trying to get rid of a mouth full of water without spitting all over your hand and the flosser.
I believe the flossers with a separate base station are easier to use by leaps and bounds. The price point is good on this flosser, and it has a warranty. If you can put up with the aforementioned nuisances of this device, you have an excellent flosser.
I took out the dental floss after using this product on gentle. I saw nothing coming off on the floss, nothing at all. It gets crud out from between teeth well. I had food crammed in there. I still am not so sure it can replace flossing, but it’s better than only brushing by a long shot. Plus, it can remove junk from areas floss can’t reach: deep pockets.
Overall, I’m happy with the purchase.


I'm posting a pic of my hair pre-bleach, post bleach, and post pink dye. I probably didn't need to bleach it but the last time I tried to dye my hair with pinks (two different brands) it just didn't take very well.

This took very well. The kit includes all you need (I used different gloves just because I prefer others). The directions are simple and complete. I would say that if you have hair longer than chin, maybe shoulder length, you will need at least two boxes. I have a pixie cut and used about half of both the bleach and dye. I always follow the direction when bleaching and did follow their directions. I never follow directions when using these "Direct dye" bright colors. Instead of the 30-60 minutes, I left mine in for 5 hours. I got a very vibrant pink (a little more fuchsia than the pictures on the box).

My one complaint is that this definitely left me with more dye rubbing off than some other brands have. When I used other brands I might wake up the next morning to a streak light on my pillow and that was with lot of hair. Using this on short hair, my pillow looked like a pink paintball fight happened. This and all dyes like it will dye anything and everything they touch. So I highly recommend two things - 1. protect everything (your skin around your face and neck with Vaseline) 2. If possible do NOT rinse your hair in a shower/bathtub. If you have access to a stainless steel sink or some kind of utility / laundry room sink where stains won't matter, that is so much easier to clean.


Very fast drying as promised.  Smells nice! The bronzer is quite light for clients that want a more subtle bronzer.  I have fair skin and blonde hair and really liked this olive based tan, it gave a lovely natural non orange tan with just enough golden cocoa brown.  I sometimes look a bit dusky or shadowy with a violet tanning solution like Norvell Venetian- although I love that product for most people.  I gave four stars because I did not think this tan lasted, I thought my skin looked a little scaly after the first three days.  I am older and my skin is on the dry side!  I am going to moisturize more and see if that makes it last longer, after all, it is a quick drying solution so I would expect it might be a bit more drying.  I will amend the review if I have success.  BTW the ingredients are incorrect on Amazon.com, there is no aloe vera in this Sjolie fast drying solution .<br />Ingredients listed on bottle as: Deionized Water, Dihydroxyacetone, Ethoxydiglycol, Cetearyl Isononanoate, Ceteareth-20, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycerin, Ceteareth-12, Cetyl Palmitate, Caramel, Walnut Extract, Polysorbate 20, Tocopherol Actetate(Vitamin E), Retinyl Palmitate(Vitamin A), Ascorbic Acid(Vitamin C)


I was extremely pleased to receive these brush heads, and find they fit my son’s Oral-B Rechargable Electric Toothbrush perfectly. Once you have the grove in the replacement head lined up properly with the base (as shown in the first pic), with a little extra encouragement, it fits perfectly!! This replacement brush head makes a bit more noise than the original “Cars” brush head that came with it, but that’s really my only complaint, and not an issue in my book.
If I had to deducted a star (which I almost did) it would be because they seem a little flimsier than what the Disney Themed Oral-B brush heads are. I gave that star back before posting my review though, because you get what you pay for. For less than $10 and almost 1/3 the price of the name brand replacement brush head, I say it’s money we’ll spent and I am overall very happy with my investment.
I snapped an upclose picture of the brush head itself, because other reviews complained of the inner blue bristles being “way to long”. The inside blue bristles ARE longer than the others, but this didn’t seem to pose any problem for us. Unfortunately my son is a little less than two years old and obviously connot contest to this. Either way, it doesn’t really seem to bother him, but I am also very careful when assisting him brush his teeth. I do not apply very much pressure when the head is agitating in his mouth against his teeth.
Overall, I would recommend this to other parents looking to save money and not wanting to spend $25 on 4 brand name Oral-B brush heads. To me, these do just fine for the price you pay, but of course, I’m ok sacrificing style for a mismatched colored brush head with a slightly flimsier build.


Update: Olaxer replaced my wand free of charge and this one arrived intact. I've given it a few weeks to ensure it didn't fall apart and so far so good. I can't find another wand that makes my bangs look like they have body without actually curling them under so I am so happy that Olaxer stands behind their products and makes it right. The straightener works great to tame the cowlick and frizzies. I was so excited that it has the straightener built in so I don't have to plug in multiple devices on those days my cowlick is outta control!

When it arrived the piece holding the cord was broken. But that didn't really harm anything so I just took it completely off and used it anyway. I'm lazy so I rarely use the straightener although it is nice when I am having a particularly frizzy day. I love the size of the wand it gives just the right amount of curl to keep my bangs from laying flat against my head.
I rated it two stars because even with little use the clip that holds the flattening part together so I can use the want has broken. I should have guessed it was cheaply made when the other clip thing came off. I wasn't even opening or closing it when it broke - just using the wand when suddenly it popped open and refused to shut again. This means the inside flatterer doesn't heat properly unless you hold it shut while it heats up. So now it is just a wand that you have to squeeze tightly while using so it will curl :( sigh...


Every so often you stumble across a product that you absolutely love.... to me, this is one of those products!  Ever since I've actively started growing a beard I've had a problem with Beard Dandruff. This combination of Beard Shampoo and Beard Oil has virtually eliminated all of my flakes with daily use. The scent is strong, manly , reminiscent of fall, pumpkins and musky.

Packaging: Neatly packaged, dispensers separate from the bottles, bottles capped tight to prevent spilling during transit.

Shampoo: One squirt lathers beards up to 1" in length, two squirts for longer. The consistency and color is similar to purell hand sanitizer.  The strength of the shampoos scent would be a 3/4 out of 10. Very foamy lather that leaves the beard and skin squeaky clean and a little drier than id like personally(its a shampoo, not a conditioner), however this package also comes with the beard oil!

Beard Oil: One squirt for short well groomed Beards, two for longer. Helps soften and moisturize after shampooing The scent of the oil is MUCH stronger than the shampoo 8 out of 10 (almost overpowering until you get used to it), similar autumn pumpkin themed scent that compliments the shampoo, it lasts hours and smells delicious. Id highly recommend to a friend! Cannot wait to try the Original (Blue) product! My wife LOVES it!


I was a little skeptical about purchasing an acrylic stamping plate, as all my many others are the usual metal, and I knew nothing at all about plates made from anything else. Moreover, it meant buying a non-acetone polish remover, as acetone (which is used to clean metal plates) is the kiss of death for acrylics. But it wasn’t expensive, so I went ahead and bought a bottle, in preparation for the arrival of this plate. This plate had so many simple designs that I wanted, but didn’t have, like a basic chevron, diagonal lines, vertical and horizontal lines, and gradient dots.  I loved the diminutive leopard print, since many of those designs are too big for my tiny nails. And a complete upper case and lower case alphabet?? Count me in!

The plate arrived just a few days before Christmas, so when I got it, I stashed it away, intending to play with it later. Later came today, and I’m in love! I tried out several stamping polishes with it, and most all of the designs. Even the polishes that have given me trouble in the past on metal plates picked up perfectly! The designs are all sharp and distinct. I believe that is due to the depth at which the designs are etched. They are nice and generous, meaning that even the smallest and finest of lines and features come out bold and beautiful.

Clean up is truly a breeze using the non-acetone remover on a cotton ball. And there is no chilling effect from acetone, which tends to dry out your stamping polish on the plate faster.

Often, trying something outside of the ordinary can yield stellar results. This is one such case. This plate is so good that I’m currently checking out all the other H la Cosedora plates here on Amazon. And of course, I’m going to pick up another bottle of non-acetone remover!


It's sometimes hard to tell from small web photos just how a product will look and feel for real. The amazon picture for this clipper did look quite appealing, but I can say that in real life the item's quality is even higher than I'd been expecting. Really excellently designed weight and shape for a man's medium-size hands; perfectly balanced tension against the blade-closing action; great surface texture for easy gripping and avoidance of dropping during use. I especially like the wider-than-usual outer end of the push-lever--it doesn't slip away from under your thumb.

But the best part is how this clipper cuts through any sort of nails "like butter"--smoothly, so so easily. I can now trim my nails in half the time it used to take, and I no longer need to "smooth out" small sharp corners of nail that I used to get because of how the the whole instrument (older, smaller clippers I had) would move during the cutting action. It's very hard to find *any* purely straight-bladed nail clippers (which I find far more versatile than the curved ones) either online or in stores, and among the few available on amazon, I am convinced these can't be beat. The "pro" in its name is entirely appropriate.

Note 1: When you first unpack this product, the gap between the two cutting edges might not seem as wide as you might like, particularly for larger toenails, but then it opens to a better size when you get the push-lever handle up.

Note 2: This is my unvarnished and uncompensated opinion. The company did send me a very polite email a few days after I got the product, urging me to write a review, but not for any sort of consideration. I recommend them without reservation.


I love this skin roller. Since it arrived in the mail, I have used it everything single day, several times a day.
It's part of my morning 'wake-up' schedule = drinking a cup of coffee or tea (sometimes iced/ sometimes hot), body brushing and the super icey cold skin roller - if these activities don't wake you up and make you remember your name really fast, then there's no helping you.
The skin roller is very revitalizing to use as a wake up, invigorating and energizing tool in the mornings - sure lets you know you're alive.
From a beauty perspective, it tightens the skin and is great to use some time after applying a moisturizer, serum or oil to your face as it makes the skin tighten/ constrict and closes pores, thereby closing in the applied moisture for enhanced penetration. I really feel like my face has had a gym workout of it's own, after using the skin roller. It takes away swelling, bags under the eyes, lifts droopy skin and afterwards makes blood circulate/ flush the face (in an attempt to warm it) - I would call that a useful workout.
From a first aid perspective, it's wonderful to roll over bee/ wasp stings, mosquito/ ant bites, minor skins burns (especially after application of 100% pure lavender essential oil), sunburns, scratches/ swellings, injection sites, on the forehead & temples during headaches etc., I just cannot say enough good things about this item. My partner now uses it also, we may have to buy a second one shortly. We bought this during a promotional discount and this is our experience of using it. I would recommend this item to family and friends, actually I already have. Love it!


Very pleased with this versatile set. These are not  as powerful as a full hand, high wattage nail lamp is, but it has its uses.

2 UV LED nail lamps, charging cable, and a pair of UV protective gloves. 3 AAA batteries are not included to power the flashlight lamp.

The white lamp comes with a USB charging cord & must be plugged in for use. Quick on and off button easily accessed with the fingertip being cured. While this is for one finger at a time, if you have small fingertips, two to three nails fit comfortably. Keep in mind, this is lower wattage than the full hand lamps, so curing time may be longer. This is great for the end stages of nail art, quickly curing rhinestones or painted accents.

The pink flashlight style nail lamp is not only great for nail art but also for crafts. Portable, battery-operated. Works well with nail supplies but also with epoxy, curing craft glues, and other craft needs. It's especially fabulous when fixing a nail on-the-go. The silicone sleeve allows for accuracy when holding and operating the flashlight.

The gloves are great at protecting your hands when doing a manicure, especially when using the full hand nail lamps where your entire hand is exposed to the UV & LED lights at a high wattage. They're not the best quality, but they're exactly the same quality of all the pairs I already have. A few stray strings that are easily clipped, a thin satin material that protects the skin to being exposed to direct UV light. The finger portions can be rolled down for those with shorter fingers.


Dr. Au Anti Aging Face Oil took me a little bit by surprise to be honest. This is a very nice retinol oil that has quickly become one of my favorites. It comes in a little dropper bottle. It has a very mild and very pleasant fragrance that I really like a lot. It lingers for a bit and I wish it would linger a lot longer than it does to be honest. I can’t figure out what it smells like but I really like the mix of it. This contains retinyl palmitate, related to retinol. Remember, whenever you use retinol you want to make sure to protect your skin from the sun since retinol makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. However retinol is very good for your skin.

This face oil is very light and absorbs quickly into the skin. It does leave your skin slightly oily but to me that is ok since I am using a face oil. I prefer to use this at night for two reasons, one because my face is a bit oily for a while when using it and also because retinol containing products do make your skin more sensitive to the sun. When I use this product my skin feels always super soft and smooth and looks nicely moisturized. There are little specs in it that look like gold and I am not sure if it is that or something else but when I use this facial oil my skin has this natural glow to it that I really like. This oil is fantastic and is quickly becoming one of my go to facial oils.


I don't know if the way it works is normal, and if it is like that it is supposed to be for our hair. But I noticed that it doesn't warm enough even I always leave it on high setting temperature.
I use it almost every week (once a week), except when I have protective style. I cannot  really tell if it contributed to well health of my hair because I completely changed my entire hair care routine. In addition to this cap, I made a DIY  hair masks, treatments, oils, and I am taking biotin liquid 10000 mcg, collagen peptides.
So, since that moment (August 2018), my hair is more beautiful, fuller, and my curls are well defines.

However, I really don't like the way this hair cap works. I don't feel the warmth.
It looks like the company changed the quality of the product. That is why the price has reduced. It is better to have a great quality product at the higher price than having a bad quality at cheap price.

PS: I am black, and I have natural kinky hair.

How do I use this cap?
1- After plugging it, I set to high setting. Leave it for 15min (following instructions); then put on head. I usually keep it on my head for between 30-45min (when doing prepoo, oils treatment,). I turn it off, then unplug.
2- I wash my hair (with my DIY shampoo), put either conditioner or hait mask. Then, I use again the cap (same process like on the 1st step, but keep the cap this time for grand max 20min).

If someone uses it differently and is satisfied of the results, please share your experience. It could be benefit for me as well.

Thanks


I’ve got the KXAMELIE mountain green short nail set. It’s a lovely hunter green, as pictured, but that’s about it. They’re not nearly as nice or thick as advertised. I don’t think they’re UV gel, just plastic.

The instructions are vague and unhelpful for beginners and you have to carefully peel off a sticker just to read them. I really wanted to like these nails, yet the glue tab system is a real pain in the neck! You have to get it on your nail, wrestle off the plastic cover, hold under a hair dryer until it looks wet or your skin feels like it’s gonna fall off, pop the nail on and hope it’s straight, and then repeat over and over and over. I guess I could’ve used liquid glue but I didn’t have any handy that day so…. I will say the glue stickers were stronger than I was expecting. They remind me of those little glue dots you get on stuff in the mail sometimes.

My biggest beef with these is that they all come with jagged edges on the ends(however they were manufactured I presume) that snag on things and zero instructions on how to file or trim them. Just a tiny cardboard file tossed in.

Also, beware if you have small hands, which I do, so I’ve run into this problem a lot. The nail sizes are either a bit too small or too big. There’s no good in-between and you can see the gaps in the pictures. I prefer a little gapping to the plastic overlap digging into my skin. Trust me, they looked worse in person, tho. I was kind of embarrassed to wear them at work.

Overall, better than dollar store quality but not by much. Not for beginners due to the hassle. I wouldn’t try again as they only held up for a day. It was the rare color that lured me in.


I have been looking for a good curling iron 3 months. I ordered a couple and had to return them despite thousand positive reviews. I have curly healthy hair, but frizzy and hard to curl.  My criteria for my curling iron:
1. SAFE for my hair. (So, ceramic/tourmaline barrel, temp settings).
2. Convenient. (Some curling irons have buttons in the wrong place and I accidentally changed the temp).
3. Within my budget.
Now, why I like this Iron.
1. I am not sure about the infrared thing since I used it only, maybe 4-5 times, but the fact that this is a ceramic/tourmaline barrel is enough for my hair. All the previous curling irons I used produced this steam/smoke when I was curling my hair, and I worried for my hair and this curling iron does not do this! Also, I personally like that it has 3 not 32  temp settings it is more than enough for me and my curls last all day.
2. I mentioned about accidentally changing the temp, with this curling iron I do not have it. The length of the handle and cool tip is good-prevent burns.
3. It made me happy that with all these features the product is affordable.
Another thing I noticed is that the company is listening to its customers. Somebody said that a heat resistant glove and cool tip would be nice, and now it has both!


There has been much discussion about this product on Amazon and professional nail tech blogs.  One of the most serious issues is the absence of a safety data sheet (SDS) from the manufacturer.  By law, manufacturers selling chemical products in the United States must provide accurately documented SDS upon request.  The manufacturer of this product has not provided such a SDS.  We ordered a product through Amazon which arrived via China Post/USPS identified as 'Makeup Tools' for customs purposes.  As professional chemists, we analyzed this product (pH, FTIR, TGA, elemental analysis and GC-MS).  This alkaline product contains methylene chloride, methanol, n-butoxyethanol, a series of n-alkane hydrocarbons and two different petroleum boiling point distillate fractions.  Methylene chloride and methanol are known toxic chemicals which can be absorbed through the skin and inhaled into your respiratory tract.  Please use Google to search for and open the SDS docs for these two chemicals and read the hazards.  This product is similar to a methylene chloride containing industrial paint strippers which are being removed from the marketplace due to their toxic ingredient(s).  This product is not suitable for sale to the general public or to the professional nail community as a nail polish remover.  AMAZON is derelict in its duty to police the products it sells; in this case the product is highlighted as "Amazon's Choice".  Please be aware that there are other brands of 'Magic Remover' being offered for sale with a similar name, paper label and bottle shape.  Buyer Beware!


After turning 30 a few years ago I have noticed a few small wrinkles and fine lines on my face. I was ignoring them for a few years but when your best friend runs a dermatology clinic you can only hear "it is time to start taking better care of your skin" for so long before it becomes maddening!  As I said my best friend works for a dermatologist in California and she told me the best way to start combating fine lines and wrinkles is to use a good Hyaluronic Acid. So after doing a bit of research I decided to give it a go. The beauty stores were a bit overwhelming so I went on Amazon in search of serum. I found this Advanced Hyaluronic Acid by Key West Health and Beauty . I ordered it using Prime Shipping and it was on my doorstep 2 days later.

PROS:
-I started to see results very quickly after applying it in the morning after a few days use.
-Cruelty free and Not tested on animals!
-My skin tone is usually pretty uneven. I get dark acne scars after a breakout has gone away, and those dark spots take forever to fade. I was so happy when these spots started to fade faster after a few days.
-I noticed my skin became much softer after a few days of use.

CONS:
-I have none! I truly love this serum!

Overall, I am so happy with my purchase of this Advanced Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Key West Health and Beauty. The results really started to show after a few days of use. I have started recommending it to my friends and family.

*I received this product at a discount for my honest unbiased review, all reviews are based on my honest opinion and are 100% honest after testing the product*
