InStyler The Rotating Iron

It worked well for me

I have permed hair that I do occasionally want to wear straight and this does the trick, easily and quickly. Does a great job on the ends and doesn't fry them out.

John Frieda Full Repair Protecting Root Lift Foam

Love the whole Full Repair line!

After really enjoyingt the conditioner, I thought I'd try the foaming mousse and I'm glad I did. Nice smell, what's left on the hands isnt' sticky and does a good job for curly hair.

Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin

Ok if your hair is all one length, not so much if it's layered

This worked well for my hair when it was almost all one length, but when I cut it into long layers it didn't work anymore for me. I wish the instructions or description had mentioned this, so I didn't buy it before getting it cut.

OPI Nail Lacquer

Phenomenal quality and depth of colour, well worth the money

The first bottle I got I was shocked by the price but was so impressed with the quality and colours lasting, that I quickly bought more. It's worth the price for the quality and how long it lasts, sometimes I've gone a month with one of their fanstastic reds with only one coat for touchup part way through. I love them now so much I've gotten their iPhone app so I can keep track of what colours I already have.

OPI Sephora by OPI

Fantastic alternate selection of colours, same great quality

I literally JUST took off my polish that was almost 2 weeks old to change out the colour and am always pleasantly surprised at how long it lasts and looks good while it lasts. It only starts to wear at the ends where I'm typing etc. Their Trenchcoat colour has gotten me so many compliments!

Nicole by OPI Nail Polish

Lovely colours but not as good quality as the main OPI line

I love the shape of the bottles, I find it makes application much easier. But the two bottles I got were quite runny and don't seem to last as long as my other OPIs.

Clinique All About Eyes Rich

For an eye cream, it was not bad

I didn't have any of my normal reactions to eye cream for this one, but it still didn't wow me. It had the same effect for me as the Moisture Surge, which you get more volume for the price. Enjoyed the sample I tried but don't think I'd buy it again. Off to try another new Clinique product! Can you tell I've drunk the kool aid? I haven't had this much success and nice skin results from any other line and am always game to try a new product by them. That and the Regenerist products.

Clinique Chubby Sticks Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm

Unbelievably good for a lip colour

It's a cross between lip balm and lipstain, and I am hooked. Silly to spend $19 on it, but after a few uses I'll be getting at least one more. It feels like chapstick in a good way but deposits nice colour. It's also really easy to put on without a mirror.

Neutrogena Advanced Solutions At Home Microdermabrasion System

Nice product but hard to get refills in Canada

I really liked the device but it became almost impossible to get replacement sponges in Canada, and all that was available were the single use disposable velcro pads. Too much garbage and too physically abrasive, felt like a scrub brush and was the exact opposite effect of the cream and sponge method.

Avon Anew Clinical Advanced Dermabrasion System

Not as good as I'd hoped

I bought this before discovering the Clarisonic, and had really hoped it would be good for my skin and get rid of the dullness and flakiness. No such luck, and I found it hard to clean out from under my long nails and the grit was irritating under my nails. It got rid of the flakiness in the areas I'd wanted to clear up but created new flaky areas!
