This is the best nail enamel I've found for when I need a specific color NOW & have to run to get something at WalMart! "Strawberry Electric" 190 is a great summer hot pink that goes with pretty much everything (hot pink being "the new beige"!), and that old standly, Revlon Red 680 is THE classic red for fall-winter. My fave neutral is "Blushed" 140, a pearlized pinky-beige. They cover with one or two coats max, they don't chip immediately, and they're always available...

I recently started using the Ouidad products, and got 5 of these clips with the first "kit" of products I ordered, Amazing, as they are SO simple, but they really work to give lift to my curly hair, and they are so EASY! Love them. And all I personally need for my hair is 5! I also finally went and had a cut (and color) at a Ouidad certified Salon (with Ana at Tivon Salon in Blacksburg VA). Not cheap, but very good, and she taught me how and when to use each product for my specific hair and styling issues, and how to use the clips so they don't get tangled in my hair. The trick: you slide them in (on their side), and then lift the end UP. :-) You want to get as much lift as possible out of them, so your hair doesn't fall flat against your scalp. I use them with the Climate Control, Botanical Boost, and/or Play Curl Foam, and I do get waves, curls and height! This is the first time I've ever done anything specifically to enhance my wavy/curly, fine (& often frizzy) hair and so far I like it a lot. I'm not totally "there" yet, still experimenting with a number of their products and ways to style my hair (and using the diffuser makes a BIG difference for me), but I really like the Ouidad products so far, and they seem to be working for me. Although you often use a Lot of product, my hair is never stiff from them, always soft and bouncy and shiny, and the styling techniques the stylist taught me are "doable" at home & easy- and I'm a big fan of "low maintenance" hair styling!

I recently started using the Ouidad products, and this is one of the 2 shampoos I got, and the one I use the most. It is working, together with the other Ouidad products, to turn my fine frizz into waves and curls, and so far I'm very happy. (I also finally went and had a cut (and color) at a Ouidad certified Salon (with Ana at Tivon Salon in Blacksburg VA). Not cheap, but very good, and she taught me how and when to use each products for my specific hair and styling issues). One of the things she impressed up on me is that I should NOT be washing my hair every day- 3 times a week max. I think that makes a big difference in the "frizz" department...

I'm not totally "there" yet, still experimenting with a number of their products and ways to style my hair (and using the diffuser makes a BIG difference for me), but I really like the Ouidad products so far, and they seem to be working for me.

I recently started using the Ouidad products, and I use Botanical Boost together with Climate Control, daily, and they really do stop the frizz dead in it's tracks!

IS Clinical products were recommended to me by a beauty mag editor when I asked her to PLEASE help me figure out which of the gazillion anti-aging products out there I should try! I'm 51 & like to think I don't look it (!), but I'm always looking for the "miracle" lotion or potion to get rid of lines and fight gravity! I am using this in conjunction with the Active and Pro Heal Serums & eye cream, but so far I think the real results have been more from the serums than this (I also reviewed the 2 serums and gave them top ratings for literally disappearing my forehead & between-the-eyebrow grooves). I will continue using it, especially on my neck & jawline... can't hurt! :-)

I wanted something for my under-eye area to make it firm again and defy gravity (!), but I haven't seen visible results (yet) with this, so the jury is still out & I'm still looking!

I use this alternately with the IS Clinical Advanced Serum (which I also reviewed). IS Clinical Serums were recommended to me by a beauty mag editor when I asked her to PLEASE help me figure out which of the gazillion anti-aging products out there I should try! I'm 51 & like to think I don't look it (!), but I'm always looking for the "miracle" lotion or potion to get rid of lines and fight gravity! In a couple of months, using both the Advanced Serum and this, my 3 big forehead lines and the big double groove between my eyebrows are literally gone, so I'm sold! Like the Active Serum, this tingles (not stings) and makes my skin feel a bit 'taut', and I use it in the morning and at night on my face & neck, and now I've started using it on the back of my hands, too. Can't hurt! No, IS Clinical serums aren't cheap, but they actually work- amazingly!

Good Skin TRI-AKTILINE Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler
I LOVE this- it really works! Fills in wrinkles & makes them vanish!
Amazing as it sounds this really DOES fill in lines & make them disappear! I'm 50; I use it mostly on my forehead in those 2 horizontal lines, and in the 2 furrows between my eyebrows! AMAZING stuff! It took me a while to figure out how to best use it, but now that I've got the hang out of it I definitely don't want to be without it. The key is a light touch- you need very little product, and applicator tip lets you draw a fine line of product into each wrinkle crease. Gently pat the product into the crease until it fills it and the product almost disappears (it's white, but it pretty much vanishes and leaves a matt finish), and let it set before puttin on makeup. has a very faint, pleasant scent. I try to remember to use it every morning after serum/moisturizer, and when I'm just working in my office (no guests) I don't even wear makeup! It's supposed to have cumulative effects which I hope is true, but I'm Very happy w/the cosmetic results.

Took awhile to get the hang of it, but it works to hold style & control frizz :-)
It took me awhile to get the hang of using it (I'm still experimenting with it), but it does work to hold the style and control frizz. I have short layered hair, and it's quite fine, and when I wear it naturally curly it tends to frizz. I use the Sebastian Whipped Creme on it when it's wet (which I like a LOT) and then this (once it's dry) to style it. The smell is very nice, but not cloying, and the hold is Very good. I have used other products with "fibers" before, but didn't like them- my hair became too sticky & full of "product". This one doesn't do that (I use a Very light touch with it), and actually works! :-) Yes, you have to wash your hands after using it, but you have to wash your hands after using any hair product! I'm rather impressed with the Sebastian line, especially as they are not as expensive as some of the other high-end brand hair-care products out there.
