I tried the two-in-one version of the Advance Shampoo and I hated it! To be fair, I've never been a big lover of the shampoo and conditioner in one of any brand but this just made my hair a mess. I liken it to Pantene (that's what the company provides as a comparison) and true to that, I've never liked Pantene either.
This particular product made my hair feel like it wasn't being washed completely and the tangles were horrible! I have seen it work wonders on other people, but it most definitely wasn't for me.
For those interested - I have colour treated hair that is normal but can become oily quickly.

I really liked the colour options for the Glazewear lip glosses but I always found them to be a bit thick. The nice part about them being a thicker product though is that they go on more like lipstick rather than lip gloss. So you'll get the coverage and colour of a lipstick with the shine and shimmer of a gloss.
I did find though, that you'll definitely know when it's time to toss the product out because it will get a somewhat funky smell to it. That was a little odd to me since I have some lipsticks that are O-L-D that never smelled like that, but at least you'll know when it's time to toss it!

There are only three things I don't like about this product:
1. The bubbles don't last long enough. My son loves bubble baths and even though I use my hand to shake up some great bubbles, they just don't last.
2. The scents are wonderful in the bottle, I just wish it smelled that way on my skin after!
3. The price. I can find just as nice and effective products for at least half the price.
I do love that there's no film left on your body after you use the product and it doesn't seem to really contribute to ring around the tub.

AVON Skin So Soft Fresh & Smooth Facial Hair Removal Cream

I tried this product about 3 years ago and my first concern was the smell. If you've ever used NAIR or similar products, you know the type of smell I'm talking about. And that's the last thing you want right below your nose or near your eyes! This product actually smells GOOD. Seriously.
I'm not a big fan of the tube. It's created so that you can just spread it onto the area but I've never had much luck in actually getting it where I want it in the thickness that I want it.
My next big concern was how my sensitive skin would react to the product. I waited the recommended time and wiped it off. The first time I used it, it did burn my skin a little bit, but I think that was because I had left it on too long. The attempts after that didn't cause the same burning sensation.
I would definitely recommend this product to ANYONE!

AVON Magix Face Perfector

When I first looked at the tube, I wondered how I would really get my money's worth. It's not a teeny tube but at first, I thought it should have been much larger.
The first time I used the product, I had washed my face, let it air dry and did NOT use any moisturizer. The product comes out white (which scared me for a bit) and was silky to the touch. It went on over my skin like a dream. As I rubbed it onto my face, it continued to feel silky, but also almost like a powder as well.
Instantly, I could feel that my face felt like I had used a small amount of moisturizer and most importantly, the shine on my face was GONE.
HOLLA'!
I decided against using foundation since it helped to even out my complexion and opted for a teeny bit of concealer under my eyes. I actually noticed a difference in how my make up went on as well. My blush glided over my skin like nobody's business.
One word of caution: it goes without saying that you shouldn't use the product around your eyes, but I need to keep it WAY far from my eyes - much more so than just avoiding my under eye area like I normally do. If I use it anywhere near my eyes, it tends to make its way in there and caused me a lot of discomfort.
Throughout the day, the shine stayed away and my make up even seemed to stay "on" longer as well. I was in heaven. I used it for a week straight and my acne prone sensitive skin didn't grumble about it in the least bit.
