I couldn't believe how plump my lips looked after using this product!!! I've even tried the whole - put it on half your lips, and compare the result with the other half, and let me tell you this product really makes a difference!!! As soon as you put it on you can feel your lips tingle, it smells a cross between cinimon and bubble gum, which is always nice.
The first time I put it on, I forgot that it was supposed to be a 'plumper' and sort of forgot about it. I was at a party and we took pictures, and I was so surprised at how full my lips looked!! It took me a few seconds to figure out that I had this lip plumper on when I took the pic.
My girlfriends are not big on noticing differences, but even they noticed the difference! I have medium lips but this stuff makes them look lush :-)
I've not tried any higher end plumpers so I can't compare it against something more expensive / high end, but this works great for me! I would definately buy it again and recommend it to anyone looking for plumper lips.

I bought this on a friends recommendation. I have pretty long, thick hair and feel that its not conditioned enough, so I'm always trying new conditioners, leave ins, etc. I wasn't really expecting too much from Herbal Essence because I've tried a few of their other products in the past and wasn't impressed. However this product really surprised me! I was so surprised at how good it smells the first time I used it! And it feels heavenly!! My hair feels like the softest silk during usage, and although most conditioners do make hair feel that soft during the shower, this one feels even softer (or maybe the smell is making me more mellow lol), either way it smells and feels amazing.
Another good thing about this conditioner is it doesn't leave a lot of build up in your hair. I know some prefer to not wash out the entire conditioner from their hair (in an effort to double as a leave in) but I'm not a big fan of that technique. I prefer leave in conditioners as leave ins and like to wash the conditioner out of my hair. This product doesn't leave much buildup in your hair, it doesn't drag your hair down, it also doesn't give you the sleek just straightened look...
All in all I think this is a great product and will definately buy it again!! I can't wait to try the Shampoo and Conditioner together...see how that works out :-)

I am south asian (aka 'brown') and lots of people have the misconception that brown people don't need bronzer.. how wrong they are!! We do, in fact summer time bronzer gives the perfect outdoorsy sun kissed blushing look (as opposed to a more dressy formal blush look you'd get with real blush) :) my favorite bronzer was an almay which I recently realized I lost.. so i'm soo happy I got this bronzer at the shopoholic night because now i got a chance to try a different brand, I'm loving it and will definately want to buy it in the future :) This bronzer goes on light which is great because you want the sun kissed look, not the sun burnt one! -

one of the best movies i've ever watched!!! this movie is less of a movie and more of a documentary! hehe :) LOVED IT!!!! These are hardcore to the point advise that all us girls out there can really use :)
i just hope i LISTEN ... (i have an issue..listening....to advise...lol) ;-) I can't wait until it comes out on DVD then i can watch it like a mantra.. everytime i forget a bit i'll go rewatch hehe :)
The best thing about this movie is, its not just for girls, i'm positive guys will love it too (and i know a few that have watched it and loved it). I don't know why people are saying its not a 'date movie', imo it is the best date movie - it tells the guys "i'm onto you so don't play games with me!!" lol i figure the guy would be less likely to do the typical things guys do (that are depicted in the movie) when they witness disection of their behaviour on full screen with their dates :)

I wish there was something between You Betcha and Fugeddaboutit ... this would go smack dab there.
The colour on this one isn't bad at all, in fact with two coats I get a pretty decent colour going. It does however remain a bit creamy to the touch so if you're not careful one nail just mite make a half moon into another nail and then you'll have to redo it.... I just did my nails with Rimmel 60 seconds 819 Green with Envy about a few hours ago, and yet i can still carve into the nail polish it still has a bit of the creamy texture to it which i really don't like.
This nailpolish is great if you want to apply a diferent colour everyday but if ur lazy like me then perhaps this isn't the one for you.
the best nailpolish in the world is Sally Hansen CHROME (i bought two of these many years back, which still haven't dried out! and i'm in the hunt to find more).
It doesn't chip, goes on extremely smooth and in one stroke you have full colour mettalic shiny looking nails that don't chip and isn't stickish...

I wanted to be as honest as possible in my review so I actually waited until I tried this mascara a few times, and just for good measure I went and put some on right now...
I have to say this is really a great product!!! My lashes are curled and look amazingly long!! they're super soft too...
The only thing i would like to have seen is a more thickening.. this mascara does tend to clump and give spidery lashes - but hey at least they're spidery long curled lashes :-)
all in all, compared to other similar priced products out there (and some higher end ones) i think this is a great product.

This is by far the BEST curling iron i've ever used! I read up a lot of reviews before deciding to buy it (you can also read the reviews at the website given above). Its very easy to use, in fact despite what others say, i find this marcel curling technology easier to use than normal spring technology. I had much better control of the curls, how tight or loose i want the curls, etc. I just had to be careful not to touch the barrel.
It heats up super fast and curls beautifully. I used a bit of curling spray (L'Oreal Paris Studio HotCurl) to set the curls. The curls stayed overnight, and just to experiment I didn't wet my hair during showering for 2 days and guess what, the curls stayed :) they were looser but were still there.
The only drawback is it took me 1hr to do my whole head (my hair is pretty long i guess). I followed this video on how to curl hair:

I would recommend this product to anyone!
If you're in Toronto - go to ORFUS RD, there's a beauty supply store ther (oposite Target) and they carry this product. There it costs $33 tax. I of course didn't know this when I bought it, so I ended up paying a bit over $60 (product shipping handling a shampoo).
If you don't live in Toronto but want this iron, I would recommend buying it from the link provided. The keep you posted on your product and have pretty fast delivery.

I was sooo happy when I got to try out this product!!! And of course as soon as I got it, I had to rip it out of the package and put it on :-)
Maybelline mascara's have always been my favorite, and this one is no different. I put on a few coats of the stuff and noticed right away that my lashes were curled and appeared longer. I normally wear the blackest black so I wasn't sure how noticible this one would be (it's brownish black) but trust me it was noticible!
There was no smell like "Mabelline Colossal Volume Express" mascara which is the current one I use, my lashes really were longer, and curlier. I never use a lash curler, but now my lashes look curled!!
Just to make sure this product really is as good as I think it is, I used it through the busy weekend, and it really lasted well throughout the day!! My lashes did not loose its curled look with time, they didn't droop or look worn, or flake onto my cheeks. And it removed easily when I washed my face.
I would definately recommend this mascara to anyone who wants to try something new, and wants a longer curlier look to their lashes!

After reading so many raves on this, I bought this product a few days ago. I was surprised at the price - essentially a chapstick for almost $5 !! That to me is expensive. I generally have dry lips and especially during the winter season my lips peal, become yucky and scaly, the works!! I've been using it just once a day for the past few days... and oh my God the difference!! its a miracle in a stick :) i never thought my lips could look so good!! The scaliness, peeling, harshness is all gone!! And is it just me or does my lips look plumper? hehe
I never wear lipstick because it makes my lips dry out (even the moisturizing ones!) but I might try it now that i've discovered this treasure :)

My skin's on the dry side, and a bit discoloured (my forehead, under eye and around the mouth is a shade darker than the rest of my face), and this powder foundation is my little miracle :)
I always wondered how some women have flawless looking skin, and they never have to wear obvious over the top makeup to get that look... and I think I now discovered the reason!! The coverage with this is flawless, it really evens out my skin tone and doesn't dry me up either.
It is pricey, but I guess you get what you paid for. In the past I've bought Clinique foundation that cost as much as this if not more, but didn't quite do it for me. Although this one costs a lot, at least it does a great job.
I would totally recommend this to everyone!
