I received this as a gift and was not sure I would like it. Once I tried it I found myself using less and less of other fragrances. I really like this one and used my first bottle up. I have since purchased another for myself and still love the fragrance.
I have to force myself to use my other fragrances for a change but I go back to this one the very next day!
J'adore "J'adore" by Dior!

Unfortunately this cheese stands alone. For whatever reason, this product did not work for me and I wanted it to work so badly! I have fine, wavy, very frizzy but enough of it for 3 people. I straighten it with a blow dryer and a flat iron. This made my hair even more frizzy and fly away in addition to making it greasy and it just would not do what I wanted it to do i.e. instead of curling under, it would curl up. I tried using more, I tried using less, it just was not for me. Just goes to show you how everyone's hair (and water you use) is so different!
I am better off with just a basic silicone serum and a leave in conditioner. For me, this was a huge waste of money as it is SOOOO expensive.

This is a really good nail polish and available in the drug store!
I have four of these and not one of them has dissappointed me yet. They are well pigmented, easy to apply and long lasting. There is not much more to say as it doesn't really have any drawbacks except maybe to expand the colors.
I have:
Petite Pink - a light pink frost
Brick - a fantastick brick red jelly
In The Navy - a gorgeous navy blue with shimmer
Gunmetal - a true gunmetal grey/blue with frost

I love, Love, LOVE this stuff!
I tried it on a whim as all the other hundreds of body lotions I tried just did not do it and gave me the flakies the next day. I figured I paid enough for the expensive ones, I might as well try a cheap one and save me the pain of watching my money go into the garbage can after it doesn't work. Was I wrong!!!
This is a wonderful lotion. It's not heavy or greasy, sinks in easily and is CHEAP. I don't know about the skin firming effect, but your skin is definitely different after it's use. Maybe it is firmer or maybe it's cleanly moisturized or just happy or all of the above - whatever it is, I have actually repurchased this. And THAT is a first!
The most amazing part of using this lotion is when I wake up the next day, I have NO flakies! Not a one! NONE! That is beyond amazing. My skin feels great, looks great and my bank account is getting larger.
I can't say enough about this lotion. Maybe the best thing I can say is to try it and see for yourself - it won't cost much!

This is a sheer lipstick and the display helps you choose which colors look best with your skin tone.
This is a great lipstick. Yes, it is sheer, but it is buildable, moist and lasts. I purchased Lavender Shine and liked it so much that I went back for a backup and another color, Plum Shine. They look fantastick on me! And I have a hard time finding lipstick that looks good on me. They have a great selection of colors, too.
The trick here is to buy these when they are on sale - 1/2 price or 2 for the price of 1. They are well worth the money you spend on them!

I can now admit it - I am a nail polish addict.
So, I want my polish to stay on without chipping or peeling. Is that too much to ask when we are now spending a small fortune for a bottle of good quality nail polish? The answer was "yes" until a few weeks ago.
I was using CND Stickey for a few months and was not seeing any REAL difference in the amount of chipping or peeling I was getting in only a couple of days (2) of a manicure. I decided to throw more money out the window in the hope of finding a miracle and bought Orly Bonder. This was the BEST money I have spent in a LOOOONG time. The first time I used it, I went six, YES 6, days with only two chips which were really my fault as I hit my nails very hard on something. Since then, I can go about a week without any major damage to my mani. I haven't gone longer as I now change my mani because I WANT to, not HAVE to.
I use it over Sally Hansen Nail Quencher Base Coat. I have heard that if you use Bonder alone it can yellow your nails. I have had no yellowing using it over a base coat. I then apply 2-3 coats of polish and finish with Seche Vite Top Coat. This is a winning combination for me but Bonder has really made the difference. Even with cheapie nail polishes!
This can be bought anywhere Orly polishes are sold. Try it - I think you'll be happy!

I tried this when I was on a search for a cuticle oil and found a small tin of it in Target. For the $2.95 price I couldn't resist.
This cream is great. It comes in a tin and is like a solid perfume. You rub it with your fingertips and apply to the cuticles. It's non-greasy after a few seconds and really does the job of softening your cuticles and making your fingers look great. As I said before, I was searching for a cuticle oil but I think this form of product is wonderful as I take it everywhere in my purse and can use it anywhere without the worry of any spillage or oil transfer.
The fragrance is a light lemony aroma that makes your mouth water. I bought the small container so it easily fits anywhere but I think it's hard to find as that is the ONLY place I have seen the small containers although the regular size container isn't really that big to begin with. I also bought one for home I liked it so much. I now only use cuticle oil at bedtime because of the mess and Burts Bees whenever and wherever I choose.

Herbal Essences All That Shine

I have fine blonde hair that is wavy/curly/frizzy that I highlight about every three months or so. I use a blow dryer, a flat iron, a shine serum and a leave-in conditioner to style my hair. Because of the highlighting and tools I use my hair can get dull so I thought this was a semi-permanent at-home solution to give my hair some added shine.
Well, I can say that my hair feels "sealed" when I wash it, it has a different feel to it and a bit more volume and manageability. It also did change my highlights a little in the way of adding an ashier color to them and lightening them a little, which actually turned out to be a real plus as I really like the color they are now.
BUT, where is the shine that I thought I would be getting from what was said on the box?
All the above things I mentioned were plusses, but I don't really have much more shine than I started with. This treatment does something but I would not sell it as a shine treatment. To be honest, I could have probably done a deep conditioning treatment and gotten the same results. I just can't recommend this product for shine.

I really liked this chocoalte bar. It think the cherry bits added a great flavor to the chocolate and gave a slightly sweeter taste to the intensity of the chocolate. Although I expected a cherry flavor from the cherry bits, I did not expect the cherry bits to be chewy - an added surprise. I really enjoyed munching on those bits of cherry.
I originally wanted to say that the pieces of cherry could have been larger, but then the chocolate would have been overwhelmed by the cherry flavor and I don't think that's what Nestle's intention was. I think they accomplished exactly what they set out to do - add a bit of flavor and texture to a delicious chocolate bar for those who want a little something different for a change.
This bar quickly became a favorite of mine.

I was disappointed in this chocolate bar. Oh, the dark chocolate was very delicious and I liked the little crunchies in the bar, but I could not tell that there was caramel in it! I was chewing the chocolate and was crunching the crunchies, but could not taste any caramel. That was the part that let me down.
Finally I decided to let the chocolate melt in my mouth and "collect" all the crunchies on my tongue and chew them when the chocolate was gone - THEN I tasted caramel. In Nestle's defense, it is rather good, and a fun thing to do, when you melt it on the top of your mouth and then chew a random crunchie in between your front teeth. It's like they gave you something "to do" with the bar.
I just expected to taste more caramel flavor in the chocolate when biting into it. I thought that was the point of the bar (as stated in the description) which "marries smooth dark chocolate made with 64% cocoa solids, with pieces of crunchy caramel to deliver a balanced combination of bitter and sweet taste." Again, I would not turn this down if offered to me but I would not purchase it myself.
