this is a Suave copy of a Matrix product, and I love what it does for the low cost! This styling cream is made to tame frizzies in curly hair. I'd say it tames 90% of mine for two days in a row, unless I drive around town with my windows down. Then I need hairspray!
It does not make my hair one bit crunchy or stiff. It is light, white and leaves behind a silky feeling on my fingertips after use. It can be used on damp or dry hair, but I have not used it on dry hair before. I use about a nickle size every time I wash my curls.

Almay Clear Complexion Concealer
If you are going to cover a zit, why not use something that heals as it conceals? This spot treatment concealer also contains 1.0% Salicylic Acid to help dry up a pimple as it covers. The brush is spongy and light, so you can get the product right... +
If you are going to cover a zit, why not use something that heals as it conceals? This spot treatment concealer also contains 1.0% Salicylic Acid to help dry up a pimple as it covers.
The brush is spongy and light, so you can get the product right where you need it. But sometimes I just touch my pinky finger to the wand and then my face, and don't even have to open the tube all the way! It's that fast and easy to use. I see acne dry up in two days with this product.

Garnier Fructis Curl Calm Down Anti-Frizz Cream

Do you have curls? I have light curls. If I wear a ponytail one day, I have to wash again to get curls the next day. But if I wear my hair down and let the curls go natural, I can usually keep them for 2 days.
This product helps tame frizz without getting crunchy. It offers enough hold for the day, or I add hairspray after if I am trying to make curls last 2 days. It's too big for a carry on, but I have pumped some into a plastic container and traveled with it, and that worked out well.
It does not weigh down my curls, and I can still get volume by diffusing my hair flipped upside down after applying this. I use about a quarter size blob after squeezing out water with a microfiber towel.

The other day I had a blemish out of the blue, and needed a little extra coverage. I snuck into my 14 year old daughter's bedroom and tried her Covergirl NatureLuxe Liquid Silk Foundation with SPF 10 Sunscreen. She has sensitive skin and occasional eczema, so she likes gentle products. She also loves a 2-for, and this foundation has SPF in it so she doesn't feel like she needs an SPF moisturizer first.
I've got to say, I must have raised her right, because this stuff is awesome! It glided on smoothly and leaves a silky finish. It blends easily and covered well. It also lasted through my work day. I'm glad we have the same skin tone, so I can sneak this more often!
I haven't used liquid foundation for a long time. I stick with powder now that I am pushing 40. But the powdery finish of this product, along with the great coverage, might convert me.
I also find Covergirl coupons all the time, so I can save a bit on this in the future.

My friend from high school is now a doctor. When she did a dermatology rotation she mentioned to me that salacylic acid is the best ingredient to look for in a scrub, over benzoil peroxide. My husband and I had both already been using this Eraser Scrub for a few years, and that just made us sticklers. I do cheat and get the generic version sometimes. The Walgreens is less scented than the CVS version. Our teen daughters are using it now too. -

I have Burt's Bess Super Shiny lip gloss in Juicy Peach.
I've been sneaking my daughter's lip gloss from Bath and Body Works and wanted to find something with a smiliar tint to the color and some flavor. While looking at the rows of lip glosses it dawned on me to get something natural so I am not eating petroleum off my lips all day.
I give this lipgloss a 10 out of 10 for flavor - there is a light orange hint that is not distracting or overpowering.
I give this lipgloss a 6 out of 10 for shine - it is obvious I have lipgloss on but it is not super shiny (Kara DioGuardi from American Idol comes to mind for super shine)
I give this lipgloss 10 out of 10 for color - it looks like I have lipstick on. And that means I don't need both and I can just buy this for less than $5 USD and not buy expensive lipstick and still feel moisturized and nourished - NATURALLY - and like I have color - HECK YAH!

My teenage daughter has been using this organic leave-in hair treatment full of vitamins on her hair the past month. She is a runner with a long, wavy ponytail. We live in Florida and her hair gets tons of sun exposure because she runs after school every day.
I have watched her hair improve while using this product. She sprays it in while her hair is damp less than 1 hour after washing her hair. Then she lets her hair airdry all night. In the morning her waves are bouncier and fuller than they have been since she started running. (Which means since she started washing her hair every single night after running in sun almost every single day.)

This lightweight foundation did indeed go on like water. It felt smooth and very light, yet still covered imperfections and blended in red areas.
BUT it totally clogged my pores. Within 3 days of using this, you could see the stuff clogging my chin pores.
I tried using it only to cover under eye circles, instead of just throwing it away, but it showed every possible line and crease.

This is the best strapless bra I have ever worn!
Over the past 4-5 years I have been on a mission to find a strapless bra that I love. I have tried backless, stick-ons, suction, silicone, pushup, removeable pads, plunge, etc...
The biggest problem I have with strapless bras is a gap between my breasts and the top of the cup.
The biggest problem my friends seem to have is the bra staying up.
I've tried bras with the squiggle of silicone inside, and that does help it stay in place, but the cups still never seemed to fit right, and when I wear something low cut I feel like people can see down the dress and also down into my bra. I've even caught it on a video of myself and CRINGED!
This bra fits great, stays up for hours, washes well, and has a silky feel. The only draw back is that it has a long gore in front - so it is NOT for plunging necklines.

Ed Hardy true love Camisole
I wore this and washed it the way it said - machine wash but line dry. I even wore it to work out it to see how it would withstand it. So cute, comfy, fun! Love the true-to-size fit. It fits over BOOBS! shoulder straps stay put and don't dig in... +
I wore this and washed it the way it said - machine wash but line dry. I even wore it to work out it to see how it would withstand it. So cute, comfy, fun! Love the true-to-size fit. It fits over BOOBS! shoulder straps stay put and don't dig in. The crochet trim adds a girly touch to counter the tattoo art. -
