I love this stuff, unexpectedly. You squeeze a little bit into your hand and apply it evenly throughout your hair before styling, whether it's towel-dried or your hair is already dry. What a difference this stuff makes on my hair, which is bleached and colored (pink! haha) often, not to mention always straightened with a heating iron.
The smell is wonderful, though I can't smell it on my hair after I'm finished straightening (though you can smell it on my mom's hair- but she applies a lot more than me). But the feel and shine of the hair is what really impressed me. My hair felt smoother and silkier than it has in quite a while. It has UV protectant and ingredients to guard your hair against heat styling as I do with my hair. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control 3-in-1 Hydrating Acne Treatment

First off, I must admit that it DID work for me for a little while. I am under a lot of stress at school and at home, so I felt my acne was probably due to stress. At first it cleared my acne just fine, it wasn't a miracle treatment or anything since I always had at least ONE pimple, but it was better than the products I'd tried before. Plus, it had a nice scent and gentle feel on the skin- it didn't dry out my skin like a lot of acne treatments.
However, after a while, my acne started resurfacing and it didn't seem to be helping anymore. I don't blame this entirely on the product, as I've seen it work for many people. My skin seems to be the type to fall victim to a product and let the acne disappear for a while, then once it's used to it, the acne comes back in full-force!

Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Mascara

I got this in the three-pack along with Define-A-Lash and Colossal Volume (which I've yet to try) for only about $15 at Wal-Mart, so it was a great deal.
Anyhow, I was skeptical upon trying it since the commercials for this product exaggerate more-so than the usual mascara commercials (and they exaggerate a lot), what with the obvious fake lashes that reached past the model's eyebrows. But I was pleasantly surprised! It made my lashes look long and slim, somewhat like they look in the commercials (though, not THAT long), and even my mom noticed and said she wanted to buy it, too, since it made my lashes look so good. I had been using CoverGirl Lash Blast for the longest time, and while it's great, the one thing I disliked was the difficulty of getting it all off. With Lash Stiletto, it was definitely easier to clean off and I wasn't pulling out lashes trying to wash it off! Although I must admit I like Lash Blast's look better, I do love how easily Lash Stiletto comes off.

Okay, I bought this because I was sick of my acne scars and reduce acne.
However, it was the most aggravating product I've ever used. After I apply my treatments, I like to apply moisturizer once it has dried, as I have dry skin and have even dealt with psoriasis. This treatment didn't dry up my skin, but it bunched up on my skin and caused flakes- it wasn't my skin, but it was aggravating trying to get all the flakes off my face!
I used this for a month and only saw my acne get worse! I've stopped using it and so far it seems my skin is better off without...

This foundation works very well for me! It is applied easily and mess-free, and helps to make my skin appear flawless, and moisturizes my skin as I do so (helping my dry skin rather than clogging or drying it up). I admit every now and again the foundation needs a touch up, but it's easy to do with the compact case it comes in that makes reapplying so convenient. If applied correctly and blended well, this foundation will make you look amazing. In the long run, this is the foundation I trust the most. -

I use this green concealer stick to cover up any redness on my face, including blemishes and scars. It really works well for me, and doesn't irritate my skin. The greenness of the concealer does not show through if you blend in well, it will neutralize the any redness in your face. I think it's a good idea to power over, as well, for even better coverage and for it to last longer. -
MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation

I LOVE this powder. It sits on my sensitive skin so well and actually makes my skin look flawless, not leathery like many others do. It also will stay on all day long, and look great all day. They have shades for EVERY skin tone and fit me perfectly into my own. It will seriously make your skin look amazing. The cost is a little high, but I think it's worth every penny for such impeccable coverage. -

This was the first cream concealer I tried- and I was quite unimpressed. While applying the concealer, it would actually get flaky- and though my skin is sensitive, that's never happened before with other concealers. It made the process harder and longer than it should have been. And quickly, I found lines where I applied it on my dark circles. While it does cover dark circles and imperfections somewhat satisfactorily, constantly having to touch up the concealer and the flakiness makes it just an annoyance. -

I went into Sephora to get a pink eyeshadow (I... love pink, haha) that wouldn't fade so quickly and really stood out. I was told that this product was very good. The price is a bit much- but it's of great quality and you get a lot of eyeshadow that you won't have to reapply. It really does stay on your eyelids all day, and doesn't fall onto your face while you're wearing it! It's not subtle though- you should only wear it if you WANT the pink to stand out A LOT. They do have other shades that are less bright, though. Removing this with any ordinary eye makeup remover can be a little irritating, but it's easily removed with some Extra Virigin Olive Oil. -

I originally saw this movie before the hype, entirely because Dev Patel (who is in my favorite show, Skins) was in it. It's easily one of my favorites now, I've seen it twice in theaters (once with my friend and once with my boyfriend- who also loves it!) and now own the DVD. No matter how many times I've watched it, I never grow weary watching it like I do with most movies. It kept me hooked the whole way through, and each time I watch it, tears well up. Such a beautiful movie and the music is fantastic, I'd recommend it for anyone. :) -
