Been using this product for 4 years. I use shade 660, a red formulated for dark hair. Although I have naturally light hair, I find using this formula helps lighten the red and keeps the color of the roots consistent with the rest of my hair. I've used several different boxed dyes and find that this particular line has been the best for me. I don't mind the conditioner it comes with, but find myself collecting several tubes of them because I turn to my own shampoo/conditioner.
The color payoff is great! I always get people asking me what color I use. I find that the color stays for quite a long time (however I only wash my hair once or twice a week). I'm too young for grey hair, so I can't comment on that.
Depending on where you go, you can get this dye for a fairly decent price.

Been using this product for almost 3 years now and it's my go-to nail treatment & base coat. It doubles as a basecoat in addition to treating your nails or you can wear it by itself as a nail treatment. I like that it has a pinkish hue so that if you decide to use it as a treatment, it still looks elegant on the nails as you layer it on each day.
As a nail growth treatment, you apply a new layer every day for up to 2 weeks, then peel it off. I found it repaired my nails quite well, especially since I have thin nails and a split nail on of one of my fingers. Although it didn't heal it entirely, I found it reduced the visibility of the line.
As a base coat, it's excellent! I find it helps prevent staining and helps adhere the polish well by providing an excellent surface for a base.
Together I feel like it offers something beneficial for my nails while helping to provide a good base for everything I put on top of it.

Got this product in Melted Coral and I'm absolutely in love with it. The lip color is liquid and is applied through a velvet tip that allows for a smooth, precise and non-messy coverage.
The Melted line carries a lot of amazing shades and I had a hard time picking this one.
The formula is long lasting and very saturated. Would recommend wearing it with a lip liner as it may feather a bit.

This is my absolute favorite BB cream to date. It is also the most effective for me as I have super fair skin and find that all of the North American renditions of BB creams are way too dark or orange for me, despite being their lightest shade. I also find that the SPF coverage is a lot higher than the ones here in NA, so it's perfect for me.
Unlike other BB creams from Asia, this one doesn't grey out my skin and thankfully matches. I have shade no.13 and it's pale enough to blend well with my skin. It evens out my skin tone very well with medium coverage, however it is a buildable formula.
I'm just not a fan of the scent and find that I have to be super careful with not getting any in my eyes as it burns.

Love this concealer! It applies very well and surprisingly matches my extremely fair skin tone. I love that it comes with a sponge at the end, however I still use my own concealer brush as it gets a little unsanitary after a while. I would like it better if it didn't have the sponge, but it's not a deterrent. Price is still pretty high, even at Walmart, but I still find myself going back to this product over higher end brands. -

Love this moisturizer to bits. I've gone through at least 3 bottles by now over the past year and a bit and I especially love that it has SPF in it. I wear this all year round because it's important to be wearing SPF all the time. The scent is not nauseating and the coverage is quite good. -

As a nail polish addict, I absolutely SWEAR by this product! i have yet to find a similar product for the same great value as this one.
Like the name says, Seche (dries) Vite (fast) literally dries fast. I remember the days of waiting around for over 30 minutes waiting for your polish to dry and not being able to do or touch anything without fear of messing up your mani. I find myself doing things within 10 minutes!
My nails look shiny for days and keeps the polish underneath, chip free for up to a week.
The only downside to the product is that over time, the formula becomes thick and a bit hard to apply. Thankfully Seche offers a thinner you can use to get the formula back to normal.

I've been coloring my hair for the past 10 years and I've tried almost every color-protecting shampoo I could get my hands on. This is has been my go-to shampoo for color protection for the past 2 years because it WORKS!
I'm not huge on worrying about the ingredients for shampoos, but this formula has proven to keep my color from fading and smelling great, days after. I can go without washing my hair for up to 4-5 days without it feeling so greasy. The smell is absolutely amazing too and it's what sealed the deal for me.
The price isn't cheap as it's salon quality, but it's worth every single cent paid.

At first, I was a little hesitant with using this mascara because the formula and even the brush was new to me. After finally giving it another chance, I found something that I now love. I have never received as many compliments on my lashes as I do with using They're Real mascara. The formula is incredible as it stays on ALL day (All day for me is from 7am to 9pm) and doesn't flake. The unique brush also helps with getting product on every single lash. The only downsides to this mascara is that it's not waterproof and that the formula clings to the tip of the brush (which can easily be dabbed off with a tissue). -
