Pros: Lightweight, Easy To Use
Cons: Name Of Brand Not On It Like Picture

I bought this item for my brother. He’s growing his hair out, not to get “dreads” per se, because that’s not really an acceptable appearance for a medical school student, but he just wants his curls to be “more apparent” as he states. Here is his review (note… the boy is limited with his words, lol):

So happy that my sister found it in her heart to get me this. I’ve been stressing over my hair, and needed a way to “contain it,” if you will. My main purpose was NOT to make dreads, but to define a curl pattern… this sponge helps with that. It’s so easy to use. I wake up in the morning… do all my morning rituals, then I rub this in my hair, vigorously, for a few minutes, and I’m good to go.

I usually go to the barber to get my sides trimmed, and I leave the top. After I go, I’ll use this product right after and see how it does.

As for now, I like this. I’ll continue to use it. Kudos for making a product very similar to the original. I recommend this item. Thanks!

My hair is natural and I consider it to be between 4B and 4C...shoulder length when stretched and fine but getting fuller/thicker as time goes on. I had some previous patches and damage from relaxers, bond weaving, then tight sew-ins and twists with extensions.  I'm now just wearing my natural hair and it's really been a challenge, but feels great to see it healthy and growing.

I am some what of a hair product "junkie"...primarly because I'm looking for products that work with my natural hair. Needless to say, I have tried tons of products trying to accomplish shingled/ defined curls.  I have used eco styler type gels with leave in conditioner, the curls come out defined, but hard. They claim to be alcohol free, but they are still drying. And I'm not sure that I want to see the long term effects of those drying gels. Those types of gels, do save me time, so I won't say that I will never use them again.  However, this Dr. Miracles Curl Care Strong Hold Gel gives me soft curls that last throughout the day.  I love it!

I will say that with the eco styler type gels I am able to refresh my curls for about 2 days with a spray bottled and plain water.  I have not found a way to refresh Dr. Miracles Curl Care Strong Hold Gel. So, I go through the process of completely wetting my hair in the morning and applying the product section by section. My hair looks great afterwards, but being able to refresh would save me some time in the mornings. I still give the product 5 stars.  My hair looks and feels healthy.. and my curls are soft and they pop!


I liked all the colors of the polish.
I liked I can do matte or glossy
on my nails.
I received 8 colors of polish,
a top and bottom coat of polish and
a frosted seal coat .
I liked the uv light that dried the
polish on.  It seemed to cure the
polish on well and not take to much time.
The timer counts up or down depending on the setting
I push.
I liked all the tools.  They seem adequate
in doing there job.
I liked the pearls and the rhinestones that
came with it.  I found they are very pretty
and add that nice touch.
I found the buffers to work well.
I liked the cuticle pusher and the trimmer.
I believe the cuticle pusher is all stainless steel.
It pushed my cuticles back very well.
Be careful with the trimmer as it is sharp to
cut off the dead skin.
I liked the nail brush for residue of powder
left over when I file and buff my nails.
It is suppose to have a basic scrubbing brush
in there to for under my nails and to get them clean
before applying any of the gel.  That was missing
In my kit so I had to use my own.
I liked the nail separator that came with it.
I found this to really have everything
I need to do my nails.
I liked how I received in one kit all the things
to get started not going to a expensive salon minus
the scrub brush.
All the tools that came with it seemed
to work well.
I do believe this would be a great gift for the
young or older person who likes to do their
nails at home.  I found this to be a very large
kit for the money.
I have enclosed pictures so you can make a informed
decision based on your own personal needs.
Yes I would recommend this product.


I have fine hair that I blow dry to add style and smooth frizz. I can usually get the top pretty smooth but have some baby hairs and bad hair days where little hairs stick out and adding more of my regular lightweight gel or other products can weigh my hair down too much, make it look wet or dirty or make it clumpy or stiff. I don’t know why but I didn’t have high hopes that this Wing Fly Grl Mane Taming Wand gel would be anything special, but it really works great for my fine hair.

It’s about the size of a mascara and has a wand with a small foam type applicator (similar to one on a lip gloss) at the end. I just gently run it over the hairs sticking up on top and they just lay down and blend right in with the rest of my hair.  I can’t say how this works for thick hair, but it sure is fast and easy to use and works great for me. My hair is very dark brown and I can’t see any sign of the gel, just the benefit of smooth hair.

I haven’t experienced any flaking, dryness, stiffness, wet look, burning or discomfort or issues with my hair color. This wand is convenient as it’s so compact and easy to carry in my purse on-the-go. The ingredient list is short and no ingredients stand out as worrisome health risks or as being possibly damaging to my hair. It works like a charm smoothing my little flyaways and so far has no negative consequences. I’ll update if I see any issues in the longer term, but it’s all good so far. Love it. 5 stars.

Ingredients: Purified Water, Glycerin 99.% Usp Kosher, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexlglycerin, Provitamin B5 (D-panthenol) - Powder.


I'm giving this product five stars because I think the brushes are a lot better than I would have expected for a $14 set. That's not to say that these brushes are professional quality: as a lot of other reviewers have noted, the larger brushes tend to shed quite a bit—definitely more than some of my Sephora brand brushes—and the construction is a little sloppy on some of them (e.g., there is a gap at the end of one of the brushes where there's no hair!). The hair used in some of the larger brushes is also a little too coarse for my taste.

I actually purchased this set because I wanted the case, and I figured I could use the brushes that came inside it as my backup brushes for when my normal brushes are being washed. But I was surprisingly pleased with the quality of some of the smaller brushes, which I've started using for my eye makeup and concealer. These brushes are softer than the larger ones, and they seem to work really well—I've stopped using my Sephora brushes and switched to these instead.

I haven't noticed the smell that a lot of other users commented about. Also, the shedding from the larger brushes has reduced with use; I suspect that with more use and a few washes they will stop shedding and they might become a bit softer.

TL;DR: These brushes are not mind-blowingly great, but they are well worth the price, and the smaller brushes are some of the better brushes I've ever owned.


Anyone knows-use acetone to remove the toughest of nail polishes-or so I thought! This stuff works! Literally works! My youngest loves to get her nails done all the time, whether it be at home done by her or myself, but mostly going to a salon. Just last week she went with her friend and got her nails done in cute but a little too light pink gel. The first couple of days she was ok with it, but then it grew old quickly. I told her to try this new remover I got. She opened it and when it didn't have the strong smell that acetone has, she said MOM I think you got the wrong stuff-no way will this take off gel polish. I kind of thought the same thing as this really doesn't have a bad or strong smell whatsoever. Plus it is oily compared to acetone remover. But we followed the directions using a cotton ball saturated and within 4 minutes, her polish was coming off easily. A little more applied and it was gone! Poof-just like that and the "oil" actually made her nails shiny and not slimy or oily and her cuticles looked like she had them soaked and cuticle cream applied. They literally felt softer-much, much better than when you use acetone! The oils in the remover are plant based and soak into the cuticle bed just as if you moisturized them. Great stuff! I was offered this at a discounted price for my review of the product. I am glad I got this-for under $13 you will get a big glass bottle of the remover and it should last you a very long time. Yes you do want to make sure to saturate the cotton ball you use or just apply directly but because of the consistency, a little goes a long way!


I have been using this product nightly for 3 weeks and I can already tell my teeth are getting whiter! I have struggled with tooth sensitivity from whitening strips in the past, but this product gives me no sensitivity problems whatsoever. I'm so excited to have found a natural product that delivers on its promises!

I have not experienced any major messes as other users have. I find that when I follow the directions included in MMM exactly as stated, the product is virtually mess-free. My advice:
1. Use half of a scoop, as the directions tell you. Trust me, a little goes a long way. I hold my toothbrush over the pot as I pour the product on my toothbrush to waste as little product as possible and to avoid messes.
2. Buy an extra soft toothbrush to use exclusively for the Magic Mud. This product WILL stain the bristles, so no use in using your expensive electric toothbrush.
3. Brush the product on your teeth in small, gentle, circular motions, focusing on the outsides of your teeth (the ones you want white). KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT as best you can, once again, as the directions tell you.
4. Put on some fun or relaxing music while you brush - 2 minutes goes by very quickly that way.
5. Spit SLOWLY with the water running, spitting as close as you can to the drain. Less mud will splash up your sink that way.
6. Swish water around in your mouth to get extra mud out from your gums and teeth. Slowly spit again. I then brush with my electric toothbrush with toothpaste as normal.


Anyone that knows me personally knows that I love mascara and any type of eye makeup really. I'm huge on my lashes so when I saw the Xtarva mascara I was very excited to try it!
It came nicely packaged and shipping was very fast. It added amazing volume to my lashes and it goes on very smoothly. I cannot stand a mascara that clumps up and I've yet to have this problem. I really like this mascara and I'm very happy that I gave it a shot. I'm new to this brand but it's very satisfying. My eyelashes don't stick together or get globby.
This mascara is completely flake proof. Even after applying it I went through my lashes with my metal lash comb and I had absolutely no flaking no problems it combed through so easily. It's very long lasting and gave my lashes an instant volume they didn't have previously. This product is animal cruelty free so no worries that it was tested on any animals. I had no problems as far as smudging and I did get a little bit on my top eye lid which rinsed off with no problems. The product dimensions are 5.5 X 0.8 X 1 inches and it weighs 1.1 ounces. It came in a card board box band new. It seems the tube is very durable. I definitely see my self using this as a daily mascara and would suggest it to others!
I bought this product for a discounted price in return for my honest, unbiased opinion. This is my honest review of the product. I would like any one considering purchasing this product to have enough confidence in my opinion to make an informed decision on if this product is a good choice for you.

This served its purpose - I’m sure it’s toxic as all get out but, so is soaking your fingers in acetone, atleast this is super localized to the nails vs whole fingertips In foil wraps or fingers if you soak in a bowl. I totally forgot to buff my nails before using & it needed 2 tries to get it off. The first time (results are first pic) it seemed to basically remove the tough top coat layer & rough up the colored polish, my gel polish was a base coat, 3 coats of color & a top coat. The top coat is what takes a lot to soak off I believe which is why I think it’s going to give a better result to really scuff/coarse file the top of the color before applying this so it can really soak into all the gel layers. The second coat (applied in second pic) got it to soak all the way through & soften all the gel (last photo) & it all easily wiped or scraped off with a cuticle pusher.

I wouldn’t want to do this every couple weeks (but I didn’t want to do the soaking either) so this was a great solution for me to “quit” gel manicures without going to the salon & having it ground off or removed in a damaging way without having to decline future manicures. I do wish they used this AT the salons for easier removal! Wayyy better than soaking your fingers in acetone or having them “carefully buff” the layers away aka some of your nail every single 2 weeks - awful way to remove.

I had it on my toes too! I buffed/scuffed the crap out of the polish & applied one thick coat & it removed with ease. Wish I had taken photos of afterwards but it came off completely so I forgot & went about my natural nail life LOL.

Recommended if you want to quit gel polish like me!


when I decided to purchase a massage chair - I initially was planning to get the one from costco for over $2000. It only received 3.8 stars out of 5, and for that price I want the 5 stars. So I found this one for cheaper, $1,044.00. Overall it does what I want - massages my back. However, the chair is designed for a much smaller person. I'm 5'6" 165lbs, and I fit pretty snuggly in the chair, but the massage balls go a little higher - like my back needs to be longer. The air pressure is pretty aggressive. I'm unable to use the arm pressure (if you are unfamiliar, it's like compression sleeve) the press EXTREMELY tight, I put the instruction booklet in the arm slot and struggle to get it out with the pressure on. The calf air pressure is better but it occasionally gets a little too much. Good news is you can turn it off.
Things I like - you can turn off/on the air pressure, you can turn on/off the heat, you can adjust the massage balls to a specific area, reclines pretty far.
Don't like - the rollers don't line up quite right, and you have to manually go through each body part if you want it to be in the right spot, There are three types of massage, but you can only manually select 2 of them, the compression pressure is not adjustable.


I work with a lot of kids and adults with special needs and also have a sister who has Angelman's Syndrome. About 99% of the individuals I work with HATE oral care and fight against it every step of the way. I have used these toothbrushes with many of my clients and just recently purchased some for my sister. I'm so pleased with them!

First, it is much easier to get these toothbrushes into their mouths, which are usually almost clamped shut. Second, it is much easier to move them around the mouth to reach all the teeth (even the very back ones) since the toothbrush head is somewhat smaller than a regular toothbrush. Third, since implementing the use of these toothbrushes my clients' dentists have been very impressed with the improvement of the cleanliness of the teeth and gums. This is very good news for people who must be both sedated and held down/put on a papoose board in order to have any dental work done.

I should mention that if you buy these for someone who often bites down on the toothbrush, it may need to be replaced more often than a regular toothbrush ( like every 2-3 months) due to the damage of the head and bristles. That being said, these things are pretty darn durable!

Cleaner teeth -> less time in the dental chair -> Less emotional and physical stress on both patients and caregivers -> greater happiness for everyone involved. If you care for anyone with special needs and are questioning whether or not to invest in this product, just do it. It is sooo worth the investment.


In the past I have used loofah sponges in solid form that still had seeds in it, and the sponges glued on wooden sticks . I wanted a softer more bendable loofah and these loofah pads do the trick. My hand easily slides in the elastic back. The backing fabric feels like ultra soft terry cloth. It is so soft my hand does slide around a little bit over the fabric when its dry  I was initially wondering if it would slip off my hand, but it molds to my hand and becomes easily pliable once wet and more grippy. It has enough flat loofah attached to buff away dry skin  but not so rough to irritate my skin. I love that I can easily rinse and wring the water/soap out of it. Loofah in the whole or stick form does not wring out easily therefore it is not uncommon for parts of them to get dark and smell musty. These loofah pads are so pliable its easy to wring  out water  like a towel and has a convenient loop to hang dry. In theory they should not smell musty if water is dried quickly from them. I haven't had them long enough to see if they turn, since my solid one on a stick from local store didn't turn for weeks.  I have dry middle age skin and I love that this little loofah pad works away the dry skin to softness underneath. Part of an at home spa experience. Extra perk! it comes with 2 pads. Disclaimer: I received these loofah pad mitts for a reduced price for a honest and uninfluenced review.


I was really so excited when I got this package. I have ordered magnetic lashes on Amazon prior but this was really the nicest set I've received, by far. You get the lashes, cleanser, cotton cloths, the applicator and liner. The lashes were some of the nicest looking I've seen as well. I especially loved how natural they looked, because the magnets are not as big and bulky.  The liner is super smooth and goes on well.  For those reasons I would easily give the lashes a five star. For ease of use, I had to go down to a four, because while they are easy to put on, it isn't easy to get them to STAY on.  This is where I'm perplexed, and why I didn't give them a high mark for value. While I love my lashes to look great, it's equally as important, if not more so that they stay on, or what good are they? I put multiple layers of the liner and firmly applied the lashes. I thought it may be the smaller magnets.  So, I tried a different magnetic liner and I will say, the lashes stayed about twice as long with the other liner, but still not as long as competitors, that stay for about 12 hours.  I am actually really disappointed because visually, and set contents-wise these are my favorite.  I'm hoping maybe I just got a mad tube of liner, but it isn't worth it for me to purchase another set that may be useless to me. If the Seller would like to ship me another set to try, and they stay better this time, I would happily edit my review to a full five stars across and continue to buy their lashes for my everyday use.


I purchased this mainly for the two year old that I watch full time, and I love it! I love it so much I split it in half and brought some home for me to use, and I now use it for my ferrets too! They are so much more fun to snuggle when they don't smell like.. well, how ferrets usually smell.. So far it seems to be very gentle while still cleaning hair (and fur). I don't have to worry about it getting in eyes and causing tearing (my ferrets don't seem to mind it at all and their eyes don't get red). I, of course, don't recommend using it on any animals as it doesn't say that it's for them (and I'm not sure if it could be bad for any type of animal) but I have used it with my ferrets and I am pleased with the results. It smells amazing! A tangy lavender (I love the smell of lavender). When used on my two year old's dirt caked locks, it leaves clean, shiny, great smelling hair, and seems to help with any dry patches we've had trouble with (I usually put coconut oil in her hair to help with dry skin, but last time I used this stuff I forgot and noticed that I may not even need to add the extra oil! I think they use like avocado oil in this stuff? It works well as a moisturizer, which is another thing I liked when I used it on my ferrets.) I only wish I had a bigger bottle of it!


I really like this - I bought this on a whim after looking at the ingredients.  I've used PLANT OA and Herbivore Face Elixir and several other various Vitamin C serums.  I prefer oils to lotions since the method of absorption is much more efficient and it makes my skin look and feel better. So anyway:
I was apprehensive at buying this since it's half the size and all the cost of the other face oils I've tried.  But I really wanted to try a new one with different ingredients.  So I splurged.
The packaging is quite nice...but I threw it out anyway.  The product itself was separated due to freezing in transit.  I just left it out at room temperature for a day and then shook it like a maniac before trying it.  The first thing I noticed was the smell.  It was a bit fruity (but pungent) and reminiscent of green tea.  The application was nice and it didn't flood down my face into my eyes like the Herbivore sometimes did if I over-applied.  The results are great and my skin looks fantastic.  I just complimented myself, which is weird.  Do I thank myself?
The only issue I had with the product is the black plastic on the inside holding the dropper must have froze and cracked since I get chunks of black plastic in my product and have to scrape it off.
Overall, quite expensive, but it will last quite a while and the product is definitely worth the money so far.


I have the the driest hair type and it is 4C.  I have tried for the past 20 years to find a substitute for this product to no avail.
It provides incredible hydration to my hair.  Usually any ongoing breakage ceases immediately after using this product. I suffer from dandruff borderline seborrheic  dermatitis. Over the course of using this product all dandruff disappears.
I have used Miss Antilles while wearing braids, natural and having a  perm.
* With braids:
I would say there is no downside to it while one is wearing braids.  Miss Antilles provides all the hydration your hair needs while tucked away.  Just remember to massage your scalp well.  My hair smells fresh after wearing braids for a month.  Once you use Miss Antilles based on my experience, it seems to prevent the growth of bacteria on the scalp.
* On natural Hair:
Miss Antilles does a great job at providing hydration for your hair.  Allowing to growth but can feel a bit sticky to some.
* On permed hair:
Miss Antilles again provides incredible hydration, scalp is thoroughly clear but you will only manage to do a pony tail while using it.  The hair becomes matte and sticky.  I know many of friends and family tend to used it before their wash day.
I have decided to provide my extensive experience with Miss Antilles because I think for the quality of the product, it should be a staple in the afro hair community.  I found that too  many are unawared of  its existence.  I work in a diverse workplace and can't remember how often I have gifted this product to women of color.  It has always been a hit, interestingly those who wear dreadlocks rave about it.
There you have it.
I have spent thousands in hair products.  It is simply the best.


This popped up in my gold box, and I decided to give it a whirl since the idea of trimming my beard with no mess had a lot of appeal. The vacuum does half work.  Unfortunately, catching half the mess won't change the need for clean-up--there's less to clean, but you'll still need to do it.  So my main recommendation is that you shouldn't let the vacuum "feature" be your reason for buying this.  If anything, it's a slight negative, because the opening for the vacuum gets in the way when you are doing edge trimming without the attachment.
The next down-side is the "memory" rechargeable batteries.  Basically, unless you let the batteries completely discharge before recharging, they will hold less and less charge each time.  This is mentioned in the folded up piece of paper that passes for a manual--you will want to read through that.  Which leads me to my final gripe:  That piece of paper is extremely poorly done--diagrams with no explaination, unclear instructions, etc.  So you do have to read it, but you're going to spend some time trying to puzzle it out before you actually figure it out.
For all my complaining, the trimmer isn't completely without merit.  It does do a decent job of trimming my beard, which is of course the main point of the thing.  I also didn't have any real noise complaints, which seems to be an issue for other reviewers.
On balance though, my main recommendation would be don't pay for the vacuum, because you won't be getting what you paid for.


I purchased this wig in black for a Halloween costume for work. I was planning on dressing up as Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction. I had purchased a five dollar black wig from Walmart and it looked awful and had to be returned!! I decided I would give this a go, but at this price I didn't expect much. Boy, was I wrong!

This wig is a great quality! The product picture is an accurate representation of the actual product. The hair looks real and doesn't scream "fake". It held almost it's perfect shape right out of the bag. Couple of shakes and it was fine. It came with a hair net which was nice. The hair on the wig is very thick.No thin spots like you would find on cheap Halloween wigs. The bangs were not too long on me (I read from other reviewers they were too long and needed to be trimmed). However, the front pieces meant to scoop under the chin just came straight out and were kind of funny looking. They could have been easily adjusted with a little trimming.

In the end I decided not to wear the costume. This was in no way the wigs fault. No matter how much makeup I put on I looked absolutely awful in jet black hair. I'm about as fair a complexion as you can get, so I looked almost sickly in this color. However, at this price I might by a wig or two for fun in different, more complimenting colors in the future.


I’m writing this review for people like me who struggle with recurring chalazions and styes:
 I started getting chalazion 5 years ago on both eyes and I don’t know what even started it. It was very frustrating because these bumps would form on my eyelid and nothing worked on them. I got surgery once to get rid of one on my lower eye lid. They stayed for months and warm compresses and eye massages that doctors recommended me did nothing.
I read many research papers to see what I can do to help my condition and here is a summary:
1. this eye wash helped so much. Since I started using this eye wash two months ago my chalazions are almost gone and very unnoticeable. I wash my eyes every mornings and before going to bed and also whenever it starts to itch.
2. One doctor prescribed an antibiotic called “Doxycycline” I think that also helped my condition
3. I make tea with tea leaves and I let it cool, then I use a cotton ball to put the tea inside my eyes. I use 3-4 drops in each eye.
4. mix of one drop of tea tree oil and 4 drops of olive oil and put it on your eye lid. I wash it after 15 mins.

That’s a summary. Some people say warm compresses help them but for me, I did not see noticeable results. I used to wash my eyes with baby shampoo and it worsened my condition. only this eye wash helped. My condition has improved 80% since I took the steps I mentioned.


I received my Skederm vitamin C X30 Power Serum in the mail last week and I have used it twice daily since then . I love that this serum is more of a lotion , rather than a liquid , and that absorbs nicely into your skin. It dries rather quickly and I am able to apply my makeup over it. Other serums that I have used are sticky and they make your face feel really tight and leave a layer of residue. This serum does not. It has a nice, pleasant citrus smell and it is not overpowering . The bottle that it comes in is of quality, is very sturdy ( and so cute ! ) and the pump works nicely. My skin looks radiant and more youthful after I use it . I have noticed the fine lines on my forehead and around my eyes have become less noticeable. I have very sensitive skin and this serum hasn't irritated me at all . I have read that Vitamin C serum can be the best solution to most of your skin health issues. Aside from its potent anti-aging properties, it can also give your skin the protection it needs against the sun’s harmful UV rays.Vitamin C has been reported to:
*Increase collaged production in the skin (this helps get rid of wrinkles)
*Brighten and tighten the skin
*Reduce the effects of negative sun exposure (Not all sun exposure is bad)
*Mitigate some chlorine exposure
*Help skin repair itself

I will continue using this serum daily from here on out . I would recommend this product to a friend or anyone looking to help slow down the aging process .

My wife has used a number of Braun Epilators over the years.  Her most recent one was a Braun Series 7- 7181 [[ASIN:B0077PLNB6 Braun Series 7-7181 Silk Epil Wet & Dry Epilator 1 Count]] that proved to be a 5 star product.  This Braun Se7921 is identical to the 7181 except that it comes with a brush head attachment for exfoliation.  The price is about $20-30 dollars more than the 7181.  So is the extra cost worth it?  While the brush attachment does leave the skin on her legs looking more smooth, it really does not seem to be worth the price premium.  The Se7921 is an excellent epilator that is worthy of 5 stars but the extra price for the Brush attachment brings this down to 4 stars.  Save the money and get the 7181 instead.

*** Positive Points: ***

- Excellent Epilator that is worthy of 5 stars
- The 40 tweezer system and sonic massage really do lead to less painful epilation
- Built in light is a great additional
- Battery lasts a very long time between charges
- True Wet/Dry system
- Fast recharge time

*** Negative Points: ***

- Exfoliation brush is not worth the $20-30 premium over the 7181 model
- Epilation truly is more painful than shaving (though some say less than waxing)


This is a miracle in a bottle. You can literally use this for any part of your beauty routine! I had no idea this was supposed to be a men's product until another reviewer asked if women can use it. (For the record, it's an oil blend, it doesn't discriminate between genders. There's blue on the label not pink, get over it.) This lasts forever. You need SO LITTLE to do anything because it works so well. Which makes it definitely worth the price because it will last 6+ months.

List of things I use this for:

Split end remedy - After lightly conditioning (use less conditioner than normal) and getting out of the shower I use ONE pump and go from ends to about half way up my hair. It never leaves my hair oily and its really fights dry looking hair and split ends.

Chapstick - Don't lick it because I don't know if it's safe to eat, but if my lips get overly dry I put this on in the morning rather than chapstick, and then just leave it on. It will eventually absorb into your lips. Then apply chapstick regularly throughout the day. I would probably just use this all day but I prefer not to carry it around. It also leaves your lips shiny but NEVER sticky which is nice. I typically only use this remedy is my lips get SUPER dry but I'm sure you could use it on a normal day too!

Make up remover - It's oil, it removes make up. Put it on a tissue and rub it around the make up area. I guess you could leave it at that but I usually rinse really quick with soap and water. It's a really soft and soothing way to remove makeup without harsh chemicals and it keeps your skin soft even after removing the makeup.


So i picked this up from Walgreens.  Only 9 dollars which is amazing. I got this because i wanted to try it on mimes and my little girls hair for protective styles...it's mainly for her since i do them more on her hair. I love the smell and feel...it's not too greasy or anything.  What i can say is...if you have fine soft hair as my daughter does...you don't need a lot... Make sure you working on freshly clean hair. For her hair...she had already had it washed and it had been styled already. I only do a leave in and oil on her head. But i honestly feel i wouldn't need to do that with this product. Feels like i can get away with using only this product and oiling her scalp and her hair will come out moisturized.  It left her hair soft and shiny...a little weighed down because she already had oil and leave in from before. I can't wait to see how it works on freshly clean hair...(update)!! I tried it on my hair and omg the crazy definition and moisture i had was amazing.. My hair was so shiny and soft.. It was hard to keep from playing in it. I really think with this product i don't need an oil. I really want to try using it alone and using to style in perm rods...because honey if my twists and braid outs came out like "yesssss"...i can't wait to see how other styles come out!!!


Let me start off by saying that I had 3 large babies. Two of them were almost 10 pounds. Sorry for the "TMI" but I wanted to share a little background with you! I had no idea this product even existed until a friend enlightened me. I will be honest, I was extremely skeptical of this product at first. The directions were pretty simple. Wash Hands and Clean private area -Damp or spray water on stick -Insert into private area and allow to sit there for 1-2 minutes, then remove. For best results, rotate while inside private area for 1-2 minutes. Remove, rinse stick or wipe it with wet cloth and store in clean safe place for next use.  This product works great. It does exactly what it promises .Tightens within 10 to 15  minutes of use and tightness last 2-3 days. This is an awesome product and well worth every penny spent to purchase it. So if you are considering this product, what the heck are you waiting for??? Go ahead and make that purchase, you and your spouse will thank me later.  I highly recommend this  to anyone who is looking for a high quality  product and one which is reasonably priced! This is a superb product. I did receive this product for a discount for my honest review. If there was anything I did not like about the product I would note it above because I refuse to spend my money on something that doesn't work and I would not want you to either. I do try to opt in on only items I would normally purchase so that I know I have an actual use for them. I felt absolutely no pressure or obligation to leave a good review or a 5 star review. My job as a product tester it to assure products are good for my family. No monetary compensation was received.


I'm confident more women than men get this brush and it is a little feminine for my style but I wanted to try something to see if I could improve my skin condition. I've only recently started to use a cleansing brush as part of my evening routine after watching the success my daughter had using one on her skin. I decided to give this a try and found it very good ... it was so good in fact that my girlfriend stole it from me!

The brush feels very well manufactured and the design is aesthetically pleasing. I got the brush handle and all of the brush wet and had no issues. I didn't learn until later that some brushes recommend you don't get anything other than the brush head wet. I treated this kind of like I treat a razor. I did not submerge it nor would I. The brush definitely loosens up dirt and oil on your face quickly. I felt the LumaRx had a significant power for scrubbing my face.

The brush comes with multiple brush attachments, to be honest I haven't completely figured out which attachment is best for what job so I use the softer brush. I have used this a few times in the morning before shaving and it does a very good job of helping me get a much closer shave, I believe because it deeply moisturizes the whiskers and helps them stand up better for a clean cut.

The brush comes with a travel bag and charger, the heads are very easy to change and are durable. Charging is quick and I've used it more than a dozen times on one charge.

I think I must have talked too much about how much I liked this brush so my girlfriend decided to start using it and I'm afraid I'm not going to see it again!


I am so torn about this oil. It comes in a glass dropper bottle like most oils come, mostly to protect the oil. Make sure you mix it well since the gold settles on the bottom of it, yes it has actual gold flecks in it. Besides the actual 24k gold it has all natural ingredients making this an actual edible oil. You can use this on its own or mix it with your moisturizer or foundation if you want.

So this is a high quality product and worth every penny in my eyes. When you use it you will notice the strong essential oil scent and this is why I am torn. It is just a bi too almost medicinal to me. It is a scent that in my eyes should be in a massage parlor in the essential oil diffuser healing you of something. So for me it was just rather strong but thankfully it does not longer on your face too long.

The oil is not too thick and absorbs into your skin pretty quickly. It leaves a slight oily residue on your face and I don't fault it for that since it is an oil. However, if you give it about 10 minutes or so, that oily residue disappears and you feel just soft and smooth skin. Absolutely amazing in my eyes. I love how my face felt when I used that to be honest and was a bit shocked.

So I love how it makes my face feel and look, I just need to get over the scent but since you really don't smell it on your face for long I think I can handle it.


I spent $4.97 for what I thought was a trial amount. Beware there will be a box for you to check that you won't know you've checked and you will not only be charged another $100 in 14 days, but you will continue to receive the product even though at first glance of the super thick sludge, you know you'll never put it on your face. But you will forget about it because you'll think, "No worries, it's only a one-time purchase. I haven't signed up for one of those scam things that never lets you cancel." And since you didn't know you'd signed up, you're not paying super close attention to your credit card bill, and besides, the name that appears isn't Allegro, so your radar for hijinks doesn't kick in until you get that second jar and you call the number on the enclosed invoice that says they're available 24/7 but when you call it on Saturday, it says their office hours are really M-F 9-5 so you quickly write "return to sender product refused" on the package and stick it in the mail, then find out since you didn't do what the customer service agent would have told you - put it in a different package with a special label - they're only giving you a 50% refund. So, if spending possibly $150 for something you'll never use sounds like a good deal, go for it. And of course when I disputed the charge with my cc company, Allegro could produce my checked box. Wow, I must really be getting old. Shame on you, Allegro, or whoever you are, if the only way you can generate sales is through dupery rather than product.


This is a very nice cleanser, especially for my, shall we say, experienced skin. Fifty years ago I seem to remember being told that it's never too early to start taking care of your skin. Well, I hope it's never too late either! I like the Neem facial cleanser very much. It smells organic, a bit fruity with a tinge of avocado scent. It is creamy and feels nourishing as I apply it to my face. The ingredients are all listed on the back label. This facial cleanser is soothing. It just feels very nice and cleans effectively also. One of the nicest things about this cleanser that I didn't realize until after I had purchased it is that with each purchase you are helping orphaned children get clean water and a safe home. See africaheartwoodproject.org. How cool is that! Oh, also I bought the 2 ounce size and I didn't plan this but it came in handy as I had to travel last weekend and the 2 ounce bottle fit perfect in my travel case along with all the other stuff that us older beauty's need to pack. Anyway, I really think this cleanser is a fine product. I like using it because it cleanses as it should and feels nourishing upon my skin. For me it's a keeper and I think anyone who wants a good for you cleanser should give this one a try. I don't have to worry about my skin too much because I'm naturally beautiful, pretty much flawless... I know I am because my husband tells me so  all the time, (never mind that he can't see more than 2 inches in front of him and doesn't remember my name!) but for all you young ones out there remember, "it's never too early to start taking care of your skin!".


If you are expecting Shave which is closer to Blade then stop. No Rotary Shaver will ever will do that. I have used Rotary Shavers for last 20 years for beard and I purchased this product with those expectations only. I bought this product for its high ratings, 5 blades vs 4 blades and digital display for battery life. I bought it for my head not face. I still use my Norelco for Beard and quite happy with it.

It started pretty good and deserved all the high ratings when I started using it new.

5 Blades seem better than four but now I feel four is more practical. It is pain to open blades for cleaning. I can still manage outer four with little effort but middle on is pain in fingers. You are supposed to push outer blades backwards and open those first and then rotate middle one counter clock wise to open it but there is no grip to do that. It is just too small and flushed with bottom surface. Same happens when you try to put it back after cleaning. Guys stick with 4 blades

Battery: This is where it let me down after 2.5 months of use. Battery and its digital display worked just fine for a month and a half and then out of blue it went from 30% to 9% in the middle of shave. Then after a few days I turned off shaver after use with battery level of 27% and couple of days later it won't turn on and forced me to charge. You cannot use this shaver plugged in so if battery dies on you you would need about an hour before you can use it again. I wish I had that luxury in morning.

Now after 2.5 months of use I can hear freshly washed/cleaned shaver struggling even in air. Doesn't look like it will last very long.

I feel that I didn't get the worth of money I spent on this product.


On the typical day, this deodorant works great for me. Natural deodorants tend to irritate my armpits, but this one is always soothing. I would suggest warming it up before applying(my favorite method is to set it by a burning candle for a few minutes) to make it sink into your skin more, but the deo is mostly clear if you apply it without warming it up first. Since this is an aluminium-free deodorant, it will not prevent sweat, but it still blocks odor. When I work out, there will be some sweat, but there has never been any odor, regardless if the deodorant has just been applied or if it has been on me for a few hours. The odor prevention is decent when it comes to the nervous sweating I occasionally experience. I reapply when I have things to do at night.
  The packaging is perfect for me. I don’t need to dip my fingers in a jar like you have to do with many natural deodorants, the design is adorable, and it’s biodegradable. The push-up design allows you to use every bit of product. I find the 3 oz. size lasts 6+ months.
  Other natural deodorants I have used in the past include Tom’s of Maine lavender stick deodorant and the Captain Blankenship cream, but both of them had ingredients my skin found irritating(admittedly, this could be allergies) and did not last as long on me as the Meow Meow Tweet one does. This deodorant eased my transition from traditional aluminum deodorant to natural deodorant, and I have bought a few of these since. The only alteration I would make it to make it last 24 hours.


Sent it back because you can't get a non-broken lightbulb?  That's pretty silly, the cost of shipping it back was probably more than the cost to go to the hardware store and buy a $.75 bulb.  I agree that they did a poor job of shipping the replacement, but you will break or burn-out the bulbs eventually anyway...  So suck it up and go buy a bulb.

And for the reviewer complaining about the focal distance...  The magnification rate and focal legnth are tied together by the laws that govern the optical properties of a magnifying lense.  Any simple single element lense of the same power will have the same focal distance.  You need a binocular or telescope to magnify with this sort of power at a longer distance, that means more weight, and compound lenses.  They do make such devices, microsurgeons have them, and people with really poor eyesight sometimes need them.  Another option is to tell an eyedoctor what you want and get a perscription for some progressive lenses with a variable focal legnth... but magnification will drop off quickly as objects are farther out, after all this is another simple single element lense again.

This unit does what it is supposed to do, though the headlights are kinda crappy with regard to their aim...  But you can get the bulbs to aim better if you adjust them a bit, or use different bulbs that have a wider dispersion pattern... or just turn them off and use a good worklight.


What I really like about this product:
They appear to be great quality that should hold up to use.
Beautiful colors and enough variety to go with any outfit I would want to wear them with (I got the blue/silver, purple, black and red bows).
The snood portion is big enough to hold my hair (I have very thick, long hair).
The clip stays in place fairy well. I wore it last night while doing a 45 minute HIIT bodyweight workout and only had to adjust it once (if you are unfamiliar, it means I moved a LOT and bounced a lot).

What I think could use improvement:
The bow is not as large as pictured and I had really hoped for the size it seemed to be in order to cover a large portion of my hair (see my pictures as reference).
The arm of the clip is very large at the end (see the picture they provide) and it makes very difficult to push through my hair when it is in a tight bun (how I intend to wear it). This would not be an issue if I was placing the clip around my hair.
 The direction it opens means you push it into your hair from right to left and that is the opposite direction I am used to making it awkward to put in (this is a bit nit-picky, but it could be relevant to others as well).

Overall I am satisfied with the purchase, though I may look for a way to replace the arm on the clip to make them easier to use as I intend.

I provided a side by side picture. In the right side the bow is clipped around my hair and then tucked into the snood and the left side shows it clipped into my hair above my bun and then the snood is wrapped around my hair.


I have been using the Salux brand Japanese Beauty Skin Cloth for more than 15 years.

I love it so much I buy them to give as gifts to my doctors and health and beauty conscious friends.

100% of the people I have given the beauty cloth to as gifts are thrilled with them.

But this last order was counterfeit. The cloths were limpid thin, and the weave was loose. I know how the cloths should look and feel so this fake  cloths were easy to spot. I checked the reviews to see if other customers were experiencing the problem of counterfeit  Salux. Yes!! Many people are encountering this problem. One reviewer identified the seller from whom she bought the counterfeit as DH Gate. The seller who sold me the counterfeit is quanzhoukaifaguy. I spoke with an Amazon agent to report the counterfeit. Amazon was super fast in helping me make the arrangements to return the fake Salux. All I have to do is drop off the cloths at Whole Foods.
Here is a short list of TRUSTWORTHY sellers I have either bought Salux and other things from over the years and/or who are highly ranked in customer satisfaction reviews:
Japan Super Mall 48,198 reviews 97% customer service satisfaction.

Kikura 16,381 reviews 98% customer satisfaction

Cosmic Shopping Center 9,091 reviews 100% customer satisfaction

Ichiban Japan 5,584 reviews 99% positive

Simply A Plus 13,487 reviews, 98% positive.

Let's do business with the trusted sellers. Our lives will be much more filled with ease, pleasure, and joy when we avoid sources of discomfort, disappointment, and frustration. This is part of the art of living. Just like how the authentic Salux adds great value to our daily lives.


I have been down that winding road of trying all of the "natural" and aluminum free deodorants, and I was just about to give up and just go back to the deodorant I tried so hard to do away with using. That was until I came across someone giving a review on another brand of deodorant, and they just happened to mention (and with much praise) this particular Nivea deodorant, so I just had to check it out. I am so glad I did.

After finding the product on Amazon, and reading the other reviews that were surprisingly all good reviews, I decided to buy it. What sold me on buying it was that so many people commented on how gentle it was on their skin, and how it was not irritating. That was a big plus for me, because I have horribly sensitive skin and finding a deodorant that is scented, aluminum free, AND gentle was worth a try.

Well, long story short, so far so good. I've been wearing this Nivea deodorant for two days now, in eighty degree plus heat, and it stood up to the test! Usually, if I'm allergic to a deodorant, it really doesn't take long before the itching and burning to start shortly after applying it, but that didn't happen, which was great. It also smells lovely and very feminine.

I guess I'm going to have to stock up on this German formula of Nivea, because my search for a aluminum free, non-irritating, and lovely scented deodorant that I can actually wear is over!


I've seen a whole lot of complaints with this item - some of them believable and some of them so incredible as to be not so believable. I rated this item 5-stars because I don't have any complaints with the item and have had nothing but good experiences.
Item came 20 to the pack, as advertised. 3/4 of them, at least, were different colors. A small number are duplicate colors and some of the colors are pretty similar, but most are distinctly different colors.
The jewelry I received appears to be 20 gauge although the ball on the end is more consistent with an 18g so you need at least an 18g piercing. Mine is originally a 16g and the jewelry works great for me. Fits great, don' have to worry about it pushing through or falling back out. The gems are super cute, tiny, and understated. I can't feel the jewelry when I wear it, and I have kind of a small nose so I think it would probably be comfortable for a lot of people. Its far, far easier to use than the nose screws I have - a lot easier to get in and back out and I don't notice it as much.
One piece of jewelry did come without the stone. The stone was missing entirely - not in the jewelry and not in the packaging. BUT for the price I really couldn't care less about that. You tend to get what you pay for a lot of the time when you order online and in this case, I think the product is definitely easily worth the dollar and some change  that I paid for it online - when you pay a junk price you generally get junk so I don't see any reason to not be happy with the purchase. I've paid more piercing jewelry online and gotten a lot less that I had a lot more trouble with. So, I think that this is a pretty awesome deal for the price.


From my wife Sarah: Overall it's a good travel bag, though there are a couple of things I'd make a little different. First, here's what I like:

- It's very lightweight. Though some are calling it flimsy, I really like the fact that it's made from a very lightweight fabric. The quality seems decent to me, though I'll say that it's not like a luxury item, but more like something I'd pick up in a Walmart, etc.

- It's a great size for travel. It can be as wide or as slim as you'd like it to be. How puffed out it will get will depend on what you put in it, but it has the capacity to be flat or to carry a lot of stuff. It can easily fit in a carry on bag.

- It's got a 8 different compartments. It's very practical and can hold a lot of items, even though it's not very big. Three of the compartments have zippers. Two of them run all the way across the bag, so you can put a lot of things in them. One of the zippered compartments has a sheer plastic front, so you can see what's in there. It's great for things like make-up, etc.

- It's got a hook inside, that can be used when the bag is opened. The hook is relatively small but it could fit on some towel racks or on a hanger bottom.

What would I change?

I would have zippers for every compartment, and I'd have a compartment that would be water proof plastic that seals for things that are liquid like shampoo. On the clear plastic compartment I mentioned above, I'd have the back also made from clear plastic so it could contain liquid products.

Personally I like it, though I have to put anything that could leak into a baggie.


This is the first time I'm using DMSO in this formulation. To now, I've used DMSO in Silver colloidal, and in a tincture for baths.
This is MUCH easier to use, providing you follow the instructions sent by the manufacturer, to the letter, which I did (thanks for forwarding that important info!)
I've been battling Lyme Tick Disease for over 12 years. Lyme causes multiple, debilitating symptoms, chief among which is acute joint pain. I refuse to use Big Pharm solutions for pain relief; I currently use CBD/THC oils, MSM and other short term relief.
I tried this product for the first time 2 nights ago, when high humidity and impending storm caused my knee, ankle, wrist, hand and lower back joints to ache fiercely. I washed the affected areas thoroughly, then dried them, then washed my hands thoroughly before applying the cream. I applied it, thinly covering the entire affected area. I donned loose-fitting sleepwear, and went to bed.
Instead of tossing and turning and yelping with pain each time I did so, I fell asleep almost instantly because I was comfortable, and enjoyed two WONDERFUL, PAIN FREE NIGHTS OF SLEEP!
I can't explain how or why DMSO works, I just KNOW it DOES.
Life is hard enough these days, without going through it wracked with pain.
When I feel the effect wearing off, I just repeat the routine and apply more cream, sparingly. It goes a LONG way.
I have already told several people similarly afflicted like me about this effective, nicely-fragranced pain remedy.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I WILL be buying more, in future, and the PRICE IS RIGHT!
Thank you!


I'd purchased this makeup palette along with the 6pc Cinidy mermaid brush set as a birthday present for my youngest niece's 12th birthday and it's safe to say from the reaction she gave me that she couldn't wait to use it along with the brushes. :]

As it was a gift for her I only took it out of the box to check that it had been delivered okay and whether any of the colors got broken during such and out of all of the colors only one had gotten a little busted and I can't really be sure whether that was because of shipping or if I had accidentally done it when I took it out.

*Note: in my photo I included I had one layer on the bottom of the plastic storage case it comes in, one in the top, and one on the side. As in the stock photo they're simply stored on top of each other.

The colors seem very nice and range from vibrant to neutral, mostly all matte aside from a few glittery ones. Since it was gift and I haven't tried them myself I can't say much about the durability of them.

For delivery it was well-packed. Inside the basic Amazon shipping box was a plain black box with a sticker of the HQdeal logo on it, then inside that was another plain black box with the exception of being made of plastic. The inner plastic box was the actual storage box of this palette, it was just a little odd it was so plain and without a logo or anything.

She really liked all the colors though, especially the vibrant ones, so it was certainly worth the purchase.


[[VIDEOID:4e6ae9acc8dba476a2ce75f2d4e664d8]] I have to start this off by saying that the woman who made the other video review has no clue how this type of glitter works on nails and everything she said came from her not understanding how to use it. For one this is a TON of glitter for $6...idk how much she thought she paid, but it’s less than a buck each pod when you break it down. Also, the other glitter she used as an example comparison is completely different. You can NOT just pour this glitter onto a nail. It can only sit in one layer thick on the nail. Pieces shouldn’t really overlap. Otherwise you won’t be able to encapsulate it smoothly at all with polish OR clear acrylic. If any pieces come through the acrylic when you file it down then your entire nail can be ruined. So I hand lay it one or two pieces at a time. I did these three nails with the glitter I purchased and it didn’t put the tiniest dent in the amount of glitter I had left. I would say that you could easily do up to 500 nails with the amount of glitter given in this whole set. I’m SO pleased with the colors too. They are beautiful. They look a little different than the pic but still gorgeous. My package was delivered about 3 days before Amazon even said it was. Another plus. Overall I am extremely happy with this purchase. This may even be the first 5 star rating I’ve ever given. It’s not something I do often. So I would absolutely recommend it!!


I can not say enough about the collection of products I received from Derma-Nu. They came highly recommended by a friend so I had to try them and I am very glad I did. Don't let the simple packaging fool you. These products are packed with wonderful ingredients which my sensitive, dry skin loved and the light natural smell is very pleasing. You definitely want to buy the complete set. Your skin will feel firmer, moisturized and pampered, like you just had a spa treatment. So pleased with all 5 of these products! - (I will leave the same review for all the products with the specific product at the top)

Hyaluronic Acid Serum is amazing! My skin felt firm and toned the very 1st time I used it. After about 2 weeks I can really see a difference in my fina lines and my face has a nice glow from the Vitamin C.

Aloe Vera Moisturizing Skin Cream is super rich & emollient! It is a delicious tub of yummy moisture that lasts throughout the day.

Youth Regenerating Moisturizing Skin Cream is just wonderful! My dry face loves it! I love it as a night cream - my face still feels hydrated in the morning. After 1 week I noticed a more evenness in skin tone, moisture and appearance.

Youth Activating Eye Gel is so great! I love that it comes in a gel form because it is so soothing. It doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes at all. As soon as I put it on the eye area looks firmer and my little lines seem to disappear.

Mineral Body Scrub is heavenly! I feel like I've been to the spa after I use it. It smells wonderful and is so versatile. I use it on my face, hands and body. My skin feels so smooth and pampered after using it.


A quick look in the cabinet above my sink will show that I am often on the look out for great shaving soap. I have talked with people on line who found one soap, settled on it and never thought to look elsewhere. I was that way when i first started traditional shaving, but then the internet and places like this showed me there was more to wet shaving than Art of Shaving (and at a great deal).
I stumbled upon Supply Provision's soap when I purchased their synthetic brush, and thought for the price it seemed like a good deal. I selected their Barbershop soap. They take a very bold take on barbershop. I was expecting a powdery, clean scent, but I got something much better. As listed on the cap, it uses bergamot, basil leaf, oak moss, cedar wood, lavender and white patchouli. No one scent dominates, but this ends up being a very unique and fantastic scent that is unlike anything else in my den.
The packaging is very nice and is easy to identify as there is print on the top and sides. Usually when I get packaging like this i just expect the soap to have been poured into the tub, but this a perfectly sized puck that can be removed if you wish to put it in a mug or bowl. The soap is soft enough that you can press it down and form it to this container as well.
The performance on this soap is fantastic. Due to the addition of clay it takes a tad longer to load than other soaps do, but you are rewarded with a very slick lather.
I tested this soap for several days. I palm, bowl, and face lathered and found this soap to be a great performer. While I will be putting this away for a bit as I feel it is a fantastic fall scent, I can't wait to use this again.
I hope they continue to come out with fantastic products like these.


My daughter has crazy curly hair. I've always battled keeping it under control, even when I keep it shorter. When I started using this I noticed a difference right away! I am super excited. She has been using it for a while and I no longer have to use tons of products in her hair to keep it from frizzing out. We live in Florida so the humidity here is absolutely insane and the frizz can get completely out of control.

It worked very well for her skin as well. She is only 6 and also has very sensitive skin, this set gave her no problems at all, unlike many other products we have tried for her. The fact that it is organic and has no added fragrance, yet still has a pleasant smell is also a huge plus for me.

As a mother with a child who has unruly hair, I can tell you I have paid this much for products that either do not work as well or she is unable to use, so you can complain...but really it is worth it. I no longer have to use her "Perfect 10" (Or whatever it's called) oil or curl control spray. You know those each cost 10-20 a bottle?! and by the end of school her hair is still all crazy cat lady. So yes, the initial purchase price is scary, but when you think of how well it works, and the products you no longer have to use (we are down to just some spray gel...$3 a bottle) it is a sound investment if you ask me.

I received this product at a discounted price for my honest and unbiased feedback. All opinions stated above are my own and were in no way influenced by the discounted rate that I received.


I love Sublime products. So naturally, when I saw this item, I HAD to have it. After a long, hot summer, my face really needed a little TLC - and this was the perfect solution.

I was very excited when the Amazon package arrived at my door step. In the box was a charming little cloth satchel and in it was the Polish.

The Polish smells wonderful. It is subtle but fresh and not overpowering - I am sensitive to smells and cannot stand strong perfumes. Sublime really nailed the scent.

The texture is lightly grainy, in a good way. I have used face Polish in the past where the texture was too fine and I felt like I had to really scrub to get any exfoliation... It was not the case here. The texture was spot on. It wasn't harsh at all, and my skin is quite sensitive.

The instructions are pretty standard.. Wet face, massage in circular motion, let sit for a couple of minutes, massage briefly and then wash off.

The results, however, were surprising. It left my skin incredibly soft and silky, after just one use. After several uses, my skin felt like it had completely recovered from a summer in the sun.

Looking at the ingredient list was also very reassuring.. The first ingredient listed is aloe.. No wonder it is so soothing.

Overall, I am really happy with this product. The best part was that when my husband got home he actually noticed a difference (without me mentioning anything).

I purchased this product at a reduced price for testing and review purposes.


I had received an American Beauty Ultra-Easy Lip-liner in the color butterscotch as a gift last Christmas and I absolutely loved it! I used to never wear lipstick/lipliner EVER!
I have dark caramel skin color and dark lips. Since I wasn't used to seeing myself and never wore any type of lipstick, I always wanted to stick with nudes.. however, I always struggled finding anything I felt looked good on my lips being that they are not the "perfect" hint of pink and therefore weren't complimented by very many nudes.... but this lipliner changed my life. it was a neutral color that looked great on me and I just loved it....
when American Beauty went out of business or what ever happened. ha! I struggled to find this item, in this color and when I found it on here I was sooooo excited I ended up ordering 3 (I believe).... honestly, I wish I would have waited to receive 1 before ordering the other 2.... I don't know if it was a knock off or if that batch was just a bad one.. but it just felt and looked different on me... I ended up giving them to my sister because I just didn't love it the way I used to.... they are super easy to apply though and are sort of matte, so you can use it as lipstick and not just liner....
Moral of the story is.. this is a great product.. but if you are going to order it, try to stick to only 1 at a time.


I have really long hair--midway down my back--and generally have difficulty getting it up in an orderly fashion due to it being really straight and fine (ie, slippery!) and me being impatient. I got interested in these various kinds of bun devices online and thru my research found this fantastic bundle! I have used very few products out of it, but here are my findings:

PROS

- The bun holders work! Especially the Korean version one--I found this to be super-fast to put up and effective! At most I have used one hairpin with it. I think the donut ones also work though I believe are better suited for slightly shorter hair.
- Everything is your hair color! I really underestimated the impact of that in the past. Generally, I would buy black hair bands or pins because those are 'standard', but this kit comes with everything already optimized for your hair color!
- Seems to have every bun making option that exists!!! This is the main reason why I purchased this kit in the first place. I found that I could buy some of the individual components more cheaply, but then I wasn't sure which would work best for me. This way, for just a little more money, I knew if a bun option was going to work with my hair, it would be in this kit! (And, again, all the pieces match my hair color!)
- Comes with a booklet with diagrams/explanations on how to use each item

CONS

- I think the only thing I would like to have is more info on how to use, maybe some video tutorials. But I am guessing I can find those on YouTube when I become sufficiently motivated:)


I scoured the net looking for the perfect beard trimmer to trim my beard that I brough back from Iraq.  I didn't want to look like a terrorist, so I needed a trimmer to keep my beard looking civilized.  I read the reviews here and was prepared for a somewhat weak vacuum- even on turbo.  No big deal- I wanted results, and the vacuum was just a perk anyway.  It caught maybe half the hair on turbo, so whoopie.

Well, I should have paid more attention to the negative reviews!  I was careful not to hold the trimmer by the click wheel to avoid accidentally going down a setting... I did that once and clicked from a 5 to a 4.  I liked the 4 better anyway, so stuck with that.  I happily trimmed to a 4 once a week (sometimes twice to clean it up) for the last couple months and it worked well, until just a couple of days ago when the setting slipped all the way down to 1 when I was in the middle of shaving!  I went from a nice beard to the 5 o-clock shadow look!  I AM FURIOUS!

There needs to be some sort of setting lock that prevents it from just slipping and ruining your beard!  How hard would that be?  Just build the dial with a notch you can slide a bar into in order to lock it!

Until they build this with a locking device, avoid it, or you could lose your hard-earned beard- just like I did!


This was an ok set of headbands for the money and at a good value. The set came with 10 hairbands, which equaled out to be cheaper than buying them individually. I got them to split up as gifts between my daughter and my nieces.

My daughter and I love all of the colors and think the knot style is really cute, but I feel that the quality is not the same for all of the headbands. Some are perfect, but some are not. The knots were not in the same spots on all of them. Some had knots on the top in the middle and then some of the knots were slightly off to the side. Also the fabric on some are glued on slightly crooked and some are a smaller size then the others.  So a couple of them were too small for my daughters head. Even though some have a few minor issues, she says she still loves the ones I gave her. So I am at least happy about that. She does wear them all the time and they do look flattering on her. The only thing is the flower print ones she has a harder time matching to her outfits, so she usually wears those ones with a solid color shirt. My nieces are also happy with theirs. The ones that were actually too small for my daughter were the ones that I gifted to my nieces, which turned out great because they fit both of my nieces good.

Overall I am ok with this set. They were a great money saver and great for gifting. The hairbands are cute and little girls love them. Even with the few minor flaws I would still get them again.


I bought this because I recently did a movie for my sister and her friends. They got the really good make-up and I bought my make-up so I could have really good make-up because I am a girl and like to look pretty though I am feel pretty weather I am wearing make-up or not. My sister had one so I felt I had to have one too. I knew it was small and it is. I wanted small. I read another review that said the makeup spatula was small but I think it is a perfect size for palette plus it comes with the perfect place to put it. It doesn't really need to be super big. I think a thumb whole would have been nice but I think it would probably take over the whole palette. It comes with two bags. One is plastic with separate pockets for the spatula and palette. The other one is a yellow fabric pouch that has the words Your Choice on it. I love it but the words are make it more like it was an accident then the name of the company. I think its a neat little kit. I would diffidently recommend it to anyone. It small and handy will fit perfectly in any make-up bag. I am very happy with it. Its great quality.

I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review. My honest review are based on my own personal experience with this products because no matter weather the product is discounted or not, the company and other customers need to know if something is wrong and I would want someone to do the same for me.


THESE VS HARD WAX: I originally bought a hard wax kit and sat there for 2 hours trying to deal with keeping the temp at the right spot and the mess of it... gave up and decided to order these wax strips instead. SO GLAD I DID. These worked really well. As a first time user, I missed spots here and there where hair was growing in a different direction, but overall, great.

OTHER TIPS: I would recommend purchasing pre-waxing oil, wax remover, and a nice aloe gel meant for after waxing (I bought a kit that had all three) because that made a huge difference in how well the hair removed, not having a mess from the wax all over, and then helping my skin from having as much of a red and bumpy reaction! But its the day after and my legs look and feel great!!

HOW MANY STRIPS DO YOU NEED?: The one thing I will say is if you are planning to do your legs and you aren't super tiny, with 1 pack, I only made it to my knees. I would definitely need an entire second package for my thighs.

BIKINI: Since I did basically run out, I whipped out my hard wax to try my bikini area again... Oh my lanta, ouch. I had ONE strip left from this package so I cut it and used in on my thigh area bikini line and it was SO MUCH EASIER, less painful, and less mentally challenging to do the quick rip than trying to get the tab made on the wax without pulling other half attached hairs in the process.

Overall, highly recommend. Just make sure you purchase enough to cover the area you are looking to cover!


okay so i wanted to wait until i used this a few times to review so here goes.

i had the hardest time with my delivery crew but once my steamer arrived i opened it to make sure everything was in the package and that nothing was broken(others said the product arrived cracked). Upon first use i put the product together perfectly poured spring water in the container because the instructions say not to use distilled or pure water, turned on the unit and it just beeped. Well one of the things the instructions leaves out is you have to lock the water cup in place by screwing it into the top. well that's done so i'm about to sit down and of course the unit isn't adjustable.so then i have to find the right chair. Bam that's done, but now the deep conditioner has been in my hair way to long; but I went through way to much not to steam my hair so 10 mins was what i decided to do. The steam reached all of my hair (but i have been told i have a little head idk), but i still pinned up my ends to the top of my head. once i was done my curls was poppin. i have noticed some white build up on the metal piece but i just wipe with a paper towel. the blue plastic part of the hood started to separate but i just popped it back in place. I do wish the product came with maintenance instructions (cleaning) but other than that  idk how i ever survived w/o a steamer and so far this one is holding up great.


These are pretty sweet! I bought them for Halloween (family of bikers!) and to pull a prank on some friends we haven't seen in a while. There are 6 sleeves (NOT 6 pairs). Each is a different pattern or style. The top has elastic to stay in place - its not rubberized but because of the nature of elastic, it helps stay in place and not slide. The bottom is surged and can't be seen at a distance. The mesh is pretty fair in color and are soft. I wore one all day and didn't have any issues with itching or rubbing.

I did notice that they are NOT all the same length. You can see in the pictures from left to right they are longest to shortest. Its hard to see unless you put the longest and shortest next to each other. I am 5' 4" and the shortest one went from my armpit to about an inch from my wrist. The longest one I had to pul up and over my shoulder so that it wouldn't wrinkle. They do wrinkle when you bend your elbow but it doesn't look too far off your skin wrinkling (again, unless you are looking up close.) Overall I am happy with these and my husband loved the different patterns!

My eyebrows have faded as I've aged but their shape is still good, so I just need something to darken them up a bit.  I usually use a tinted gel because I sometimes get carried away with pencils, which makes my brows look huge & angry.  Also, I have to set the pencil with a clear gel, anyway, so a tinted gel saves me a step.  I've recently found a pencil that I liked through either Ipsy or Birchbox & this pencil looked similar, so I decided to give it a try.

It has a pencil with an angled tip on one end & the other end has a spoolie.  The pencil can be advanced or retracted with a twist of the shaft.  It seems to be well-made but, at first, I couldn't get the pencil to draw.  It was so hard & dry that nothing would come off.  It took several minutes of rubbing it on the back of my hand before I finally got a faint line of color.  I had to keep going for several more minutes before I could consistently get color to come off the pencil.

Once I tried it on my brows, I was pleasantly surprised.  The color, Dark Brown, is good for me but I would call it more of a medium brown.  I have dark brown, almost black, hair but I feel like if I match my brows to my hair, they look too harsh, so I like to keep them softer, which makes this color perfect for me.

Overall, I do like this pencil but it still seems a little too dry, even after several uses.  It could be a fluke with just this particular pencil.  I'd be willing to purchase another as long as the price was reasonable.


Hi, it's Glamorous Gem, hope you all are having a wonderful day,

First off, I don't really have thin hair. But, I have heard many things about Rice Water and I have used it before. I just wonder if this is better and easier than making it myself like I used to.

Rice Water is supposed to have many benefits to hair. It Detoxifies, Moisturizes, Promotes Hair Growth and Make Your Strands Stronger. So, it's great for all hair types no matter what issues you have.

What I like about this kind is that it doesn't have any tangle smell or smells bad in particular. It's very floral and fragrant, definitely would make your hair smell like it just had a wash.

It comes in a spray bottle with two caps. (One regular cap and one spray cap) I can just change the caps so it doesn't leak when I store it, so that's a plus as well.

It's easy to use. It's not super thick either, so it sprays well and has decent coverage. It also sinks in well and deeply, feels good in hair, and moisturizes pretty great.

I don't have any complaints about it. It's good for your hair and feels great in it. Plus, it has many other great attributes such as Chemical Free, Preservative Free, Sulfate Free.

Of course, growth is gonna take time, but I'm along for the ride.😁

PS: No matter the nature, I only write honest, unbiased, and authentic reviews.


I don't really have any de-puffed areas. I do have a couple of odd spots around the corners of my lips that I am trying to figure out how to attend to. I have been successful with Easydew products, so I added this into the mix to see what more it can help me with.

-I love the container. It has a cool, modern look. Applicator is precise.
-The texture is cool and gel like. It is clear.
-Very light scent
-Gentle feeling, non irritating on my dry, semi sensitive skin
-A little goes a long way, just use a little.. gently dab it on. Allow a minute to absorb before adding other products
 -Key ingredients, benefits:
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) helps to repair skin, and Hyaluronic acid (HA) helps to attract and retain moisture.

I am currently using a variety of Easydew products, some of which contain EGF. I love how my skin feels and looks. I have only recently added this in, and I don't expect a quick change. I am using it around lips, and am considering using it around eye area. Since this can be used near eyes, I may keep it only for that area. I have their serum and moisturizer with EGF & HA.  I would say from my experience with this line, is that this is more of a longer term use item. I see it says something about instant depuffing, but unless you have a real trouble spot, it may not be instantly noticeable. What I encourage is consistent use. Maybe add in their other fill up products or Repair Control EX, then use this for specific spots.

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


I have been growing my locs for about 6 years now, and as much as I LOVE them,I need a change. I don't want to cut them off becuase I love them but just a little change. So I decided to make a get a wig. Now before I went with the locs, my hair was natural so I hadn't purchased any fake hair since 1999, so I had NO IDEA what I was doing.
I went to he hair store and everybody kept talking about Brazilian and recognizing real Brazilian. And then I looked at the price.. It was 200 for a bundle PLUS.
I started looking online and found abHair.
The Brazilian Hair came in a 3 Bundles pack with 3 bundles of unprocessed vigorous Remy hair.
I look through the hair very carefully to make sure it was the real deal. I looked to see if it was colored and it wasn't
I looked to see the naturalness of it and I found a gray hair which means it is more like to actually come from a head of a person.
I held it up to the light and could see the normal lighter parts of hair that naturally happen
Then I put it to the wash and brush test. I brushed it and it didn't shed.
When I washed it, it didn't get heavy, it stayed and acted like true hair. It didn't tangle and dried properly too.
I took it to the store to double check and all of the stores I took it toss if it was the real deal and they wished they had that supplier. A couple of customers stopped me and I had to give them the listing so they could get some fabulousness too.
To be pure and true Unprocessed Brazilian , it was half the price was so great, that I decided to make a wig so that I could keep it for when I want a little change.
I received this item at a discount for my honest and unbiased review.


While my hair is naturally straight, I didn't feel the need to straighten my hair further.  After my sister persuaded me to let her try it, I realized how much smoother, less tangly and even the look of being longer the straightener made.  I couldn't take my sister home with me, and I had so much trouble using a regular flat iron.

then I seen the brush irons.  I tried one that did a decent job, but it still didn't leave me with the hair the regular flat iron did.  Then I seen this one from #Beautonics and the awesome reviews.  I was excited to get to try it.. It came in and I liked how it looked.  The silicone brush, the guide that came with it telling me exactly the temperature for my thickness of hair.

The results was really amazing and I realized that not all products are the same - even when they look or claim to do what the others do.  This one gets the job done and is so much closer to a regular flat iron, without damaging my hair near as bad.  My favorite thing about it?  I can do it myself!  If I have more time I clip my hair up and do it in layers, then turn the brush around and run the smooth side over my whole head.

If you are looking for a nice brush straightener, this is a great one.

For your information, this was sent to me to try and out and share my unbiased opinion of it with you.  I always share my own experiences and my true feeling on an item when leaving a review.


This is the best gel polish I have ever used. The colors are all absolutely gorgeous and true to the picture, they are low scent and apply with ease.

This gel polish is so easy to work with and didn't flood my cuticles at all an leveled very well. I have always struggled with gel polish and never found one I liked until now. The blue color in the picture is literally only one coat and it looks that good, it is full coverage , bright and so shiny (I have zero top coat on and it is shiner than most top coats I own). The white is just like most whites in that it is a bit sheer on the first coat but, I only had to do two coats which is way better than other whites I have used in the past. I was just testing these colors out but, I am so comfortable with the coverage and shine I can leave them just like this and be happy. Most of the colors though I would recommend two coats just to get the most even pigmented color you can. The polish once dry is very sticky but, the stickiness comes right off when you use rubbing alcohol over top of the nail leaving the nail smooth and insanely shiny. These polishes pair beautifully with most gel top coats and do not peel or chip. The color does not fade and easily can stay on for a week or two.

Removal of this polish is very easy as well. You can either sand it off like I do or use remover and soak the nail and it will come off quick and easy.

You receive a good amount of polish in each bottle so they will last you a while. Overall this is an amazing gel polish kit and the only one I will be using from now on! The price, the pigmentation, the ease of application and removal as well as the shine and ability to skip a topcoat if you choose makes these polishes a total win in my book!


I decided to go the whole 9 yards and try the foaming face wash + 12% souffle + the moisturizer. Just so you know, my skin problems are: Excessively oily skin (need two blotter sheets every hour); uneven skin tone; and clogged pores (disgusting little oil plugs peaking out, some enlarged pores and then those tiny little bumps where the oil plug hasn't hardened yet). I saw immediate results with these products in term of the oiliness and clogged pores. I've only had to blot my face once a day since I started using this stuff - big difference over having to blot every hour.  The enlarge pores and the tiny bumps were greatly minimized. My skin looks  much smoother. I usually use Biore pore strips to remove the plugs so, it is hard to say exactly how effective Alpha Hydros is at getting rid of these. But I don't seem to be developing them as quickly as I was before. Within a week, I saw a noticeable difference in my complexion - much brighter. I don't have wrinkles or zits, so I can't comment on that. But those tiny little clogged pores have been spreading over my face since I was 10! This is the only thing I've used that immediately and consistently improved the condition and appearance of my skin (and the my oiliness) without over drying my face. My skin is actually very supple. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it's only been a week. I still have yet to see what the ultimate result will be--but looks promising so far.


I tried out Oak City Beard's products from their own website and Amazon, and both offered amazing deals for great products at affordable prices. The consistency is true beard butter, not sour cream like Maestro, and my two 4 oz containers came in without any grainy consistency issues. If you do have that problem on your order, you can fix the issue by checking out videos from people like Dan C. Bearded or Beardbrand Alliance on the topic. Finally, Snow Leopard is my favorite scent from what I have experienced so far as it's a very refreshing peppermint/sandalwood perfect for the evening. The scent lasts me a solid 8 - 9 hours as I can put it on at night and by the morning I can still get a decent whiff of it, but it's not strong enough to make it invasive if you're worried it's more like a cologne. (They also do sell solid colognes in the same scents if you like.)

Additionally, I would recommend getting the ten 1 oz beard butter sample pack from their website first. The cost is just right for $26 for 10 oz; you can try out almost all their scents in smaller doses; and the shipping is free and timely. I would have gotten the two 4 oz tubs I bought from Amazon on their website as well, but I had some left-over gift-card funds to make it cheaper here. However, I will gladly buy more of their products in the future.


I have been using this soap for the last few months and I love it. This soap produces a rich lather and I never need to reload my brush for subsequent passes. This soap takes a lot of water to thin out (which seems to be a common characteristic of good shave soaps). The soap has a soapy scent which some people like or don't like, but it smells good to me. It doesn't seem too strong of a scent to me either, but some people think it does based off of what I have read about it before I bought it. Even if you think the scent is strong, it doesn't seem to linger like Tobac does, but provides as good of a lather.

Perhaps the greatest characteristic of this soap (at least boasted by the brand) is that it is made using wool fat, which has lanolin. Lanolin is a wax secreted by sheep (and I guess other "woolly" animals) that helps protect the animals skin and wool from the environment and is often added to soaps (among other things) as a moisturizer. That being said, I don't really notice any huge difference in moisturizing, but I don't have really dry skin either. So, who knows? I can't tell you whether or not it will help you with dryness, but it works well for me and may work well for you too.

If you have dry or sensitive skin, I would recommend looking for a review written by someone who also has dry or sensitive skin. Even though the company boasts the qualities of lanolin, there are other ingredients that may be a problem for you (maybe even the lanolin itself).


After trying Face Define for the first time, I'm most happy with the results on my under eye "problem area". I saw a nice reduction to my usual saggy, puffy skin and dark circles. Yay!

I'm 41 with a few fine lines on my forehead, as well as smile lines. I could see an overall smoother and tighter appearance in those areas, too.

Once it's dry, you definitely notice your skin feels firmer. Not unpleasant or tight/stretched like when you have a clay face mask on, just an awareness this product is delivering on its promise! (But you can obviously still smile and change your facial expressions without any problem).

It wasn't really clear to me from the instructions, the best way to apply Face Define. The areas I dabbed ended up white and flakey so was obviously too much product (but it easily wipes off). Next time I'll smooth it all in, how I apply my moisturizer.

I applied it about 10 minutes after my regular cleanse/tone/moisturize routine. A little of this product really does go a long way—less than half a pump's plenty! Standing in front of a fan for about a minute was enough to set it dry. A dusting of powder foundation afterwards gave me a really nice finish.

This product has no odor or texture when you use it. I have sometimes sensitive skin and it didn't cause any reaction for me at all. My face felt great all day. I'm excited to continue using Face Define in my skin care routine!


Let me start buy saying I wasnt paid to buy this product or sent a free bottle.  I saw that the reviews might have been fluffed but decided for the price it was worth a shot.  So far I think i really like it, it might even be worthy of five stars for the price. I actually ordered a second bottle of the other scent and will see how I like that.  The scent isnt bad, kinda beachy, its not great, just okay. The color however is nice. Before this i used paint it black and other variations of those cheap 13ounce brands on here. The only one that seemed to work okay was the tingle one and I hated seeing people I knew after the tanner, hugging them, then remembering I had to remind them their face might burn off in the next 20 minutes. So to save the embarrassment I decided to find a not tingle tanning lotion that worked to give me color.  This one clearly has bronzers because my nails and in between my fingers can get stained since I leave it on a few hours after the tanner.  I would say watch out for this, it can be a good thing and a bad thing, good because you know you will get color but bad because it can leave your hands sorta strange looking, its not as horrible as a sunless tanner product and shouldnt stain clothes but be aware of it.  The consistency is strange, seems high in silicone because when I apply it its like im rubbing lube all over me.  Not awful just a new texture from what im used to. It does spread easily tho which is nice and it seems to soak up pretty good too and not leave me super greasy.  Over all for the size and price I like it, the biggest downside is having to carry around such a large bottle every time i tan.  Will let you know how I like the other scent.


Well, I'm a bit more dissappointed, and somewhat grossed out - this did not come in any type of protective wrap at all - so I have no clue if it was actually new or not - but the suction cups on the back - look like they have mold all over them - like they were used, there is a brown/black moldy type stain in the fold crease on the front side as well.

For the sake of the review - I at least tried to stick it to the bathroom wall and yes 3 of the 6 suction cups stuck, the others did not.

If this came out of the Amazon warehouse - all I can say is EWWWW, if this came out of the sellers warehouse - or private home - omg this is gross!

As a mother, grandmother and business owner, I know and understand the true value of an honest review, I, myself, depend on reviews when making purchases and my business only exists thanks to testimonies and reviews from clients. I personally guarantee a fully unbiased review of this product.

DISCLAIMER: I received this item at a promotional discount in return for my honest and unbiased review, inspection, and testing. I received no other compensation for my review and was not required or bound to provide my review or any specific rating. I am in no way connected or related to the seller. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.


As soon as saw this hair out the pack, I was like this doesn't look human. But I went ahead and did the sew in. After a week, it is soooo stiff on the ends. I do hair so I know what I'm doing. There's alot of shedding. It's not a soft wave. The crimp/wave starts up at the track in some areas so that bump at the crown is terrible. This hair will not last all summer. It's kind of matted.

The hair is wavy and not curly if you're expecting beachy vibes. If you have fine hair, or your hair is curly I wouldn't get this. It's a no for me.

Update: the seller reached out saying they would do a 30% refund. Which is only 55.00. Then they said they would give me 1 free bundle (like what is that supposed to do). The old hair isn't reusable to mix with 1 new bundle. Then I was asked to change my review to 5 stars and they would compensate me. I replied, I'm only changing my review if they replaced all the hair because Im thinking I may have had a bad batch. But they didn't respond.. nor did they process the discount. Regardless this hair is a temporary style for a 1 week or 2 at the max and not a 130.00 either (less the discount). If synthetic hair is 60.00 then this hair is worth 100.00. And I got the 24-30 bundles. This hair is not viable after 2 weeks. My review stands!!


I can't say this product has helped my hair to grow longer, or stop falling out, and I can't claim it's helped my hair grow in, but I can say that I believe in the ingredients absolutely, and for the price I paid, it's worth adding onto other things I'm using that I believe in absolutely. The scent is nice, kind of like a toasted almond/cafe latte. Even though I can't say for certain it has helped, I can say that I intend to purchase more when I'm out. It's a product I'm definitely going to keep using.

One thing you need to know, this isn't a hair mask. There is no clay in this product. It is actually a hair oil. This makes this product even more useful in my book, because it means I can leave it on overnight and use it in conjunction with other oils, instead of putting it on my hair and washing it out a few minutes later. It also lasts a GREAT deal longer than a mask would, making this product well worth the price. In fact, it makes it an exceptional value! I tried to convey this fact to the sellers, but they don't seem to speak English well enough to understand that fact. If you need to contact them, be patient, they seem very nice and quite eager to assist.

I recommend using this with a hair loss shampoo system. You can read my other reviews to find out what worked for me and what didn't. Also, please check out the high frequency generator. That is an absolute miracle and no one should be without it. It's done wonders for my hair, skin, and bulging veins.

Helpful tip: pour this in a dye applicator, or some other type of bottle that will target the scalp. That will make it last even longer!


At various times in my life I have rotated between using a razor vs a cordless shaver. While I prefer the closeness of a razor a cordless shaver does save time and money. The Arcitec 1090 is Norelco's high-end cordless shaver that has oodles of features.

Likes-

- Time display showing remaining battery life.
- Ease of cleaning the heads after use
- Suction cups on the base to hold the unit firm to counter-top
- Nick-free shaving
- The charging pod makes an ideal traveling case

Needed Improvements and/or dislikes-
- Not the closest shave - after shaving my face feels similar to what it is like 12 hours after using a razor
- Not sure why there is such a large cost difference between the Arctitec 1090 and the 1050. The 1090 has a time display and the charging pod, but I have hard time seeing that as to justifying the cost difference.
- Not sure if this product is actually an upgrade from the older "Lift-and-Cut" technology they previously advertised. My impression is that the new shave is about a wash with the old one.

Final Summary- While I enjoy the ease and comfort of the Norelco Arcitec 1090 I am not sure if the added features make it worth the additional cost over the 1050 - and thus costing it one star. However, as a whole I have no problems giving the product a hearty endorsement!
