Bare Escentuals Lipstick

Red Delicious is my favorite go-to red

I love this lipstick in Red Delicious! I first bought it when I was pregnant in Oct 2008, and I'm grateful BE hasn't d/c it. The formula is quite matte, but moisturizing, though I do add balm b/c my lips are prone to dryness. But the staying power is decent & the color is a lovely earthy red.

Sebastian Potion 9

Best leave-in conditioner ever

I absolutely adore this product. My hair is long fine 3A-type curly/wavy. I've used Potion 9 off/on for yrs and always have a bottle on hand. In the last month, to prevent myself from chopping my long hair off in this horrid Southeast heat/humidity, I gently cleanse & condition my hair daily, and apply a dime-size dallop of Potion 9 throughout my hair, comb and let airdry. After, I brush my wavy (and very soft) hair & pull up into a chignon to wear in place of a short cut. My hair has never been softer, shinier & healthier after having used Potion 9 daily for a month now. I get compliments and can run my fingers thru my long wavy hair. This product is a classic.

Alberto VO5 Original Hairdressing

like it, cheap & it works

bought this last night because it was in the bargain bin, and i'm a $ucker for deals, especially conditioners. My hair's fine wavy and long, so a tiny bit of this super-concentrated emollient cream gel went a Long way! love it especially on my ends. I don't particularly like the scent, but it's not a dealbreaker. Will definitely use this again, & probably carry this in my bag for random touch-ups.

Jason Biotin Conditioner

Best conditioner for fine curly hair

This conditioner formula is hands-down fantastic all-around. A few yrs ago, organic hair products turned me off b/c they were either too sticky or just didn't do the job, but I decided to try Jason's Biotin Conditioner and I Love this stuff! I have long fine curly hair that's either over- or under-conditioned, which makes daily conditioning (perfect amount) a hassle. Since I have long hair, I bend my head forward when washing & apply the conditioner from the bottom (neck line) towards the tips and leave in for 3-5 min. then rinse with tepid, then cool water. My spiral curls are perfectly conditioned and bounce now!
