I've tried a lot of cleansers, but this one by far is the best. A cleanser passes the test for me, when after cleaning my face I use a toner, my cotton pad is pretty light (sorry for TMI :) ) and this one certainly passed it.

I got Herbashine shade #500 (medium brown) through the product club review (thaanks)
1. Application: The application was easy, although the cream was too thick for my taste. The advantage of that, though, is that it doesn't drip, hence cleaner bathroom :) I liked that quantity was enough, as although I have medium lenght hair, it is quite thick and I have trouble, usually, getting through all my hair with just 1 box. With Herbashine, it was more than enough!
2. Product scent : it was awesome! Very nice, light scent, did not feel the chemical scent that hair color products usually have. Loved it!
3. Colour result: This is the icky part. So, my hair is closer to light brown, so I picked a medium brown, which was basically a TINY bit darker than my color. I did not dye my hair for 6 months, and used an ammonia-free dye. And before that, I dyed my hair maybe a year ago, or more, at a salon, also ammonia-free. So, I am not sure what happened, but my hair is literally BLACK. Honestly! I love it though :)) So, I am not sure whether it was because of my porous hair, or the previous dye, or what, but I followed instructions and my hair is black. The color is nice though...
4. Conditioner and hair after: I loved that there was a lot of conditioner in that little package. My hair felt totally smooth and tamed and nice. It's really really shiny and I styled it super easy! Love it!
5. Reason for coloring my hair: I just wanted a change, but I did not wanted to damage my hair with permanent colors. As I color my hair all the time before, and my hair was really bad. So, we'll see how it acts in a few weeks (I mean the quality of my hair). I think I would buy it again, though I would be hesitant with the shade, as I am not sure anymore what to choose if just a medium brown gave me solid black.
6. Yes, I would buy it again. And yes I would recommend it to a friend, with the color mishap warning though.
Thank you, ChickAdvisor :))

These hair products are amazing!!
My hairstylist used this brand on my hair the last time, so I decided to give it a try, though not having high expectations, as for some reason, with salon products my hair looks and feels awesome, while when I get them for home-use, it just doesn't do the job!
So, I've bought this Christmas package, a deal in Trade Secrets, that included: macadamia oil for your hair (of course), the shampoo and a deep repair mask. And it won me over! :))
I've been using it for 2 weeks, almost daily, so I can draw a conclusion already!
I can't say much about the shampoo, as I use MorrocanOil shampoo, the only thing I CAN say is that it is sulfate, paraben free, which is good :D
Tthe mask is extraordinary! It really hydrates your hair , I use a very slight amount as a daily conditioner! You can feel, as you wash it out, that your hair is silky and smooth and weightless! Then, you go on with a touch of oil...and let me say, the smell is beautiful!!
So, about the oil! It contains both Macadamia oil AND Argan Oil, which is the base of MoroccanOil products.
I usually turn the bottle upside down on my palm, so that a little oil is left on my palm, and it's usually enough for my hairy hair :D My hair is thick and coarse and when it's raining, it goes crazy! So far, it has been tamed by Macadamia! :) Also, I have been using my flatiron extensively due to a new hairstyle, and it does not look or feel burnt and I can feel it has enough moisture, so it definitely provides heat protection!
Happy happy happy hair and me! Definitely would recommend!!

I have a flaky scalp whenever I am really stressed, and it's not even dandruff, but something else. So, I bought Head & Shoulders, in hope of a relieve. Not only did it not help AT ALL, whenever I used it in the shower (of course), I would wash my face afterwards, and it would BURN like hell!!
I thought it was because of the face wash I was using, but as soon as I stopped using H&S;, the burning sensation disappeared. Oh, and it actually dries your scalp too. Not happy about it at all.

I have a combination type skin with a long history of acne. Now it's on and off, but I do get blemishes and they don't go away that easily.
I did not feel any icing on my face, or cooling. It does clean your face and you have a sensation of cleanliness after that. For me though (maybe this is stupid) the real test is the lotion after that, and the amount of dirt that remains on the cotton pad. I use Biore's lotion with salicylic acid, and there is quite the dirt left from make up.
The pro with this product, is that my skin did not get worse and it has a really convenient dispenser. That's about it

I really loved this mascara, with a "but". When I bought it , it was too liquid and dense, so whenever I tried to apply it on my lashes, I would get big pieces of mascara on them. But then, I didn't touch it in a month, and I suppose, it dried a bit, and now it works fine! It really does add volume and length.
THough it is quite easy to exagerate, as it is quite thick and you can get quite a few lumps on your lashes. Maybe it is just my mascara (like a flaw in production or something). But it is definitely a good mascara :)

I have received some samples of John Frieda's frizz-ease serum, conditioner and shampoo. As I am super happy wih my Morroccanoil shampoo, I tried only the conditioner and serum.
My hair is kinda thick and wavy a bit, and sometimes strange )) So, the serum worked wonders. It was not only smooth, silky, but heavy in a good way. It was a pleasure to touch, and the volume did not go down with the weight.
So I am very pleased with this serum, will be looking for it full sized lol
