I've always read that anti-cellulite creams are a hoax, so I've never been willing to invest in any of these expensive products. A friend of mine gave me a full size sample of this Nivea serum, so I figured what the hell, I'll give it a try. You have to use it faithfully for at least 10 days, but the results are somewhat surprising.
Normally you can play 18 holes of golf on my ass- Cellulite City. After using the serum, my butt and thighs seriously looked smoother! I mean, Playboy isn't offering me my own show or anything, but my boyfriend seemed appreciative of the results. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the greasy consistency. You have to immediately rinse your hands after you apply it or you can't get a grip on a doorknob. PS, if you discontinue the serum, the results disappear.
I think it's pricey for such a small bottle, so here's my advice: use it only when you need it. If you have a special event coming up and you wanna show off your gams, start using the serum 10 days prior, use a self tanner the night before, and wear that mini proudly.

I have combination skin that is prone to breakouts. I find that it is difficult to find a cleanser that doesn't dry out my skin and doesn't cause an acne flair up. A friend of mine that has skin that could make a baby jealous told me to pick up this drugstore facewash. At first I wasn't sure that I was going to like it because it doesn't really produce a lot of foam. What can I say? I like foam; sue me. But I stuck with this product and after a few weeks my acne cleared up and my face is less dry. -

This is my drugstore favorite that really leaves my skin refreshed, clear and dewy. Slather on a thin layer, give it 10 min or so to dry, and VOILA- mini facial. Now, let's be honest, don't expect to rinse your face and see Sofia Vergara staring back at you in your bathroom mirror, but for $3.99 it's a well worth it "pick-me-up" for your skin. My favorite time to use it is when I've had a bit of a breakout and my skin looks red and irritated. I leave it on for 15 - 20 min and rinse it with a cold washcloth. It calms the redness and evens my skintone enough that I don't need a pound of makeup to hide my pimple attack. And let's face it, when you have to apply your makeup with a putty knife, odds are your breakout is going to get worse. I've noticed that this mask is getting harder and harder to find in the stores, so if you see it grab a tube! -

I have curly hair that I straighten with a blow dryer and a round brush. Since I live in a desert climate, I have no problem keeping it straight and smooth. However, as soon as I step off the plane in a city with even the slightest humidity I look like Roseanne Roseannadanna from the 70's SNL skits. Until now...Ladies, I have found a secret weapon- Loreal Elnett.
I know there are a million anti-humidity shampoos, sprays, and serums, but they always put a weird coating on my hair that leaves my locks limp and dirty feeling. Now, I blow dry my hair normally, mist my hair with Elnett and I can dine al fresco in New Orleans in August. The best part is that it doesn't feel like I have any product in my hair! I can brush it and it still retains its style. I won't travel without this product! Luckily, they sell a 2.2 oz travel size that's airport friendly.
This product used to only be sold in Europe and celebrities would stock up when they traveled or have it shipped to the states. The demand was so high for this hairspray that they finally started selling it in the U.S. I used to read about it in fashion mags and now I understand the hype.

In my humble opinion, this is the best acne spot treatment on the market. It comes in a small bottle with a layer of pink sediment on the bottom with a clear liquid on top. You have to keep the bottle upright to separate the pink goo from the liquid. Before bed cleanse your face, then dip a Q-tip into the pink sediment and dot it on any blemishes. It clears up a pimple in no time! It works especially well on those painful "underground" zits. It's very drying to the skin, so use it sparingly and slather on a good moisturizer in the morning.
After a while the clear liquid in the bottle gets very low- this is when you need to purchase a new bottle. Once the clear liquid is gone, the pink sediment gets rather gooey and seems to lose its effectiveness. I started using this product when it was sold by Ulta; now it is only available through HSN. It's a drag having to order it online, but HSN ships very quickly. Hopefully you find this review helpful!
