The best

This is a miracle spray, that holds your style, but allows you to move it and play with it, and it will stay however you leave it - all while leaving a satin finish on your hair.

It does add shine

I hope that this product does have 'protective treatment', but I wasn't impressed with the conditioning properties. My hair was nice and shiny, but I just wasn't impressed with the overall texture of my hair after using it. When I think of the word treatment, I expect buttery soft texture, so for me this didn't quite deliver.

Unimpressed

I will say that I'm partial to l'oreal's elnett, and this is in that price range if not more, so that is where I'm being biased. This did give the hair good hold but the staying power wasn't there. I also have a drugstore brand that is 2nd to my l'oreal and it's $3, so this is a good product, but I've found an equal for less.

Secret to flawless hair?

This is -hands down- the best thermal spray out there. I mist it throughout my hair when it's damp and a little more before I flat iron, and my hair looks like a professional did it. The price is worth it for an important event, if not a must have for everyday. The formula literally acts like a starch and when you add heat to it, it's gonna stay and stay for a while. Bravo!

It protects your color

This is the best drugstore heat protectant I have found! I personally adore Redken spray starch, but this is pretty much the same product but it doesn't have the setting properties that Redken's does. The smell is nice and the spray is not too heavy, plus it's easy on the wallet!

Good but not great

These shades are very universally flattering so they get a big plus for that. The texture is soft, but the pigment isn't that great, and the blush travels a bit if you don't set it. I think it's a good product with room for improvement, but one of the best drugstore blushes I've found as to date.

Innovative brush design

if the formula was slightly thicker and absolutely never flaked, it's be a 10. Aside from those minor flaws, the mascara is near perfection, thanks to the brush/comb that ensures every lash is wrapped in a perfect thin coat of mascara, and the result is flawless defined lashes that you'd swear were from an advertisement. This is more of a day look because I've had trouble layering for a more dramatic effect, but you can layer over a lash primer and then you have the ultimate dramatic lash line.

Mine Broke

I had 2 as a freebie from another Goody purchase, and both of mine broke. I do not have thick hair, so I would not buy these again.

Too harsh for me

I am obviously gullible, as I often find myself investing in high dollar products with the mindset that if they are charging this much, it must be good. Well, I may have learned my lesson somewhere along the line now. This shampoo does lather well, and has a great scent, but I'm very disappointed with the effect after forking over so much dough. This irritates my scalp, probably because of all the sulfates and alcohol in the shampoo. I know there is another line of the technician that is for really dry hair, so maybe I should have grabbed that one instead..? My hair doesn't seem anymore improved and when I rinse out the shampoo, it feels more dry than usual. I invested in the conditioner as well, which I think is good, but not even close to worth the price tag they put on this stuff. I haven't used this in a while because it just irritates my scalp too much and I have big areas of flaky scalp, which is super itch and ugly.

Ick

I don't know what anyone else likes about this product. The warming sensation is awkward, and I'm not a fan of the texture either, it's like blistex which just doesn't agree with my lips for some reason. I get skieved out when I see the jar because I've know people that use this to soothe their herpes breakout or to put on a cold sore, which just grosses me out. My husband is a fan and I won't kiss him when he has it on, that's how much I don't like it.
