great color, but not conditioning

This product is really good for an at home coloring job. The key is really buying that which is tonally close to your own natural shade. Otherwise you may get either really brassy or really ashy results. I always use the neutral shade. My hair is already a pretty warm dark blonde and it really enhances it. The only drawback, and it's a big one for some people, is that it kind of leaves your hair dry afterwards. A lot of other hair colors, while not being as true to color, leave your hair a lot softer and silkier. Also, the conditioner that comes with this is completely AWFUL! Do not even use it. Throw it out and use your own deep conditioner afterwards. All that being said, it's also a little pricey considering you can't even use the conditioner. So while I'll use it again for the color, I always have a deep conditioner on hand for after.

works well for adult acne-surprised!

Put it on at first sign of the redness or swelling and in a few hours or overnight, it is gone. I could not believe it! I've tried everything and I mean everything. The tea tree oil in it kills bacteria and the parsley and willowbark kill inflammation. I rarely get blackheads or whiteheads. I get the painful, red, under the skin (not quite cystic) kinds of pimples, been getting them since I was a teen and now I'm 33. So this is perfect for me at my age and for my type of pimples. Salicylic acid, sulphur, benzoyl peroxide- none of them work for me. Ever. Plus the Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide bleach everything, and the sulphur smells bad. This won't stain, has a smell but it is very herbal and not unpleasant. Less drying than all those other treatments. One thing to be careful about. Glass bottle. I am clumsy and have dropped it already!

works great!

This will sound strange to some, but I bleach the hair on my arms. I find that my hair is too dark, and it feels to me like it looks manly. Removing arm hair seems weird though because typically, everyone has hair on their arms! This bleaches the hair so that it looks babyfine, and somebody told me that it even makes me look younger! (Don't know why, but I'll take it). This cream bleach works fast, not messy, not smelly and is inexpensive. I just wish there was more in the box.

do NOT waste your money on this product

Where do I start! This was an impulse by, I'll admit. I read some articles in I think Allure and some other mag that said that it dimished the look of deep creases. HUH?! All I can say is that it so does not do that. Period. My forehead expression lines look exactly the same. Plus, this has a weird smell and a totally INANE way of application. It litterally has an instruction booklet which describes this very specific way you HAVE to apply the cream or it will not work. It involves patting your face in varying degrees of pressure; etc. Weird. And not worth your time and money

got pimples from it...sorry

I soooo wanted to love this. I have oily skin, that is prone to acne. I was told by Sephora/reviewers/people who have used it, that "no, it will not give you pimples or make acne worse". Unfortunately, that's exactly what it did. That being said, I can see why some people love it. It does feel great going on, provides a nice matte finish, diminishes the look of pores and it did help my foundation adhere. But if you are like me, anything with a "-cone" in the ingredients (simethicone, silicone, dimethicone) which this has, you will get pimples.

high quality lip gloss

I really like this gloss. It's pretty long lasting, and very shiny. No taste or smell, which I personally like. The colors look deep and intense in the tube, but there are really quite sheer with a hint of color. For fun, try a new color, you won't miss it when you look at the display. It's called Sparkling Champagne. It is literally GOLD in the tube (next to all the roses, reds, pinks and nudes it will stand out!) But it goes on your lips totally sheer and sparkly. Actually it seems to enhance your own lip color. Fun surprise!

love it

This product claims to "melt" into your hair. That's exactly what it does. But it doesn't feel greasy, or weigh hair down. Smells wonderful....men always notice it! Has a UV shield too, which is why I started buying it in the first place. I use it on the beach or at the pool when my hair is wet. Acts like a deep conditioner while I'm out in the sun. And when I eventually wash my hair, it is sooooo soft and shiny. And I have really dry, curly hair. It's hard to find sometimes though....
