My first impression was THANK GOODNESS!! They have finally made a pad that doesn't do that disgusting plastic thing out of the package. I LOVE the fact that the top is not a strange plastically material. It makes the pad a lot more comfortable and tolerable. I generally hate wearing them, but this one is very soft and almost not noticeable. I think I have been convinced to switch to these for sure. I would only have two things I would probably change about this product. I would love it if they came with the clean wipes (not sure if they do or not, but the sample did not). I also found the wing portion a little cumbersome to actually adhere without getting it stuck to itself, probably because the pad itself are so light and soft (which is something I actually like). All and all i would say this is the best pad on the market for comfort and it not being noticeable. I love its soft cottony texture and would recommend it to anyone. -

You will never be disappointed with the ladies at Salon Cue. Great atmosphere and always a great cut/colour! Probably the best I have been to in the KW area. I always see Holly and she is always very helpful with helping me pick a cut/colour when I am feeling indecisive. Prices are very reasonable and I always come out totally satisfied. I would recommend this spot to anyone! Great products for sale too! -

I went here after a recommendation from Steph and I was SO happy with the results!!! I saw Lauren and Rachel and they were both terrific!!! The price was for sure AMAZING (I got the student discount as I am still in school) and my hair turned out better than it has in a really long time. The colour was exactly what I wanted in terms of the highlights and the cut looked awesome and has grown out fantastically!!! She even fixed some "problem areas" from a previous cut that I did not enjoy. The staff themselves were very pleasant to chat with and the experience was one that will keep me coming back for sure, even if I do have to start paying full price :) -

I decided that it might be fun to get extensions and some big curls in my hair for a grad formal I was attending. However, after looking at some of the prices and permanent nature of some of the products, I decided to start looking around at other alternatives. I was walking in the mall one day and saw these. At first glance I was not overly excited, they look like they might be just a "I want them because they are Jessica Simpson" product. However, I decided to give them a try. The salon was more than happy to give me a demonstration and help me pick a colour that was suitable for my hair colour- in my case "Buttered Toast" ended up working out. I opted to get them to style and "insert" it that day because I absolutely am horrible at hairstyling on myself.
I opted for the "wavy version" as this hair cannot be heat styled (kinda a downside). When he pulled it out of the box, it looked a little like a small animal, and a little bit hilarious, but after it was all said and done I was happy with the result. I would have liked it a BIT shorter (mine was the 22" length) but apparently the curly one cannot be "reliably cut". It stayed it with no hassle and clipped out really easy before bed. it wasnt overly heavy, i really stopped noticing that it wasnt mine after a while. I got tons of compliments cause it kept such a nice curl all night (and still does have a nice curl)!!!!
I had read some other reviews that said it didnt look so good, but probably would really work best on hair that is already almost shoulder length after inspecting some pictures. Also if you are planning on "self styling" read the instructions on clipping it in and for the above affect I had to curl my actual hair with a larger barrel curling iron first.
My final recommendation- do it if you are scared of gluing, weaving, whatever and you want some flexibility. DO find a salon that does the demo and pick a colour and style you are happy with. DO NOT order online unless you are sure of your colour and style. I would recommend this product for something fun and different.
I attached a photo of myself with them in to give you an idea of what to expect! I thought it would be more helpful then just attaching the product photo.

I had a slightly mixed reaction to this product. The first time I tried it, I hated it. Mostly because I think I was trying to use the little brush that came with it and it went on way too heavy, I actually had to take my makeup off and redo it without the blush. I gave it another shot though with a real blush brush and a lot of tapping and it seemed to go on pretty nicely. It was a nice colour (different from my normal colour) and blended in pretty well. The only thing I really didnt like was that it is a loose powder so it made it difficult to get the quantity of blush you wanted without wasting/tapping, etc. I am not sure that I would buy it again or that I am hooked on it, but it will remain in my makeup bag and likely get used :) -

I ended up choosing the bronzer because I rarely ever do an entire make-up routine and I really didnt think I would use the finishing powder. This step was really probably the most disappointing in the whole line. First of all, they only had one shade of bronzer which should have tipped me off in the first place. It was really too dark and unnatural looking on my skin which is still moderately light from being inside the whole winter. I also found it to be WAY too thick when applied with the provided foam applicator. I even tried to use it VERY sparingly and it was still way too much. I found the rest of the line to be very light and seamless, and this step i think almost ruined the whole look. it was a LITTLE bit better with a brush, but I really dont know that I will be using it much unless I get a lot more tanned...
On the plus side, the package was super cute :)

I found this product to be very good, but at the same time a little strange. Most of the time I just use a little concealer in the morning to cover up the darker under-eye circles and any blemishes I have (usually fairly rare though). I found this product works fantastically when used in combination with the foundation. Great coverage, blended well, and easy to apply.
However, if you are like me, and dont wear foundation every day, then this may not be the best concealer for you. I found when I wore it alone (sans the matching foundation, it actually didnt blend in all that fantastically and the coverage was minimal.
I will likely continue to buy this as a compliment to the foundation which I loved, but I will probably still my my Stila concealer for days when I just dont feel like wearing/doing a whole makeup routine.
On the plus side though, this and the foundation had no effect on my skin and I didnt notice a change at all between what I normally use (Lorac and Stilla) and this product(didnt have any breakouts or major pore clogging!!!)

I was a little skeptical of switching my foundation at first. I tend to be really picky because I like something that covers really minimally and I tend to sometimes get dry/irritated skin if I dont go with the more pricey foundations (and even then I have to be careful). I have dry to normal skin (dry mostly in the winter no matter HOW much i moisturize), so I figured I would go with the foundation over the loose powder. I ended up picking my colour off the internet (light), and i was actually shocked at the fact that when it arrived it blended perfectly with my skin. This product goes on seamlessly, and when combined with the concealer my skin looked and felt really natural and had a very even tone. It goes on like I havent really experienced before, kinda silky almost, and I have found that you really dont need to use a lot (a major plus) to cover your whole face! I actually ended up liking this foundation better than my much more pricey foundation from Sephora. My face didnt look cakey like I have found other "Shoppers" brands have made my skin look in the past and it doesnt feel gross at the end of the day but stays on pretty well. I would for SURE buy this again and for SURE recommend it to others; along with the concealer, it will be something I will for sure continue to buy. -

Unlike the other Noir bars, I found this one a little too sweet and probably wouldnt get this again. I have never been a huge fan of Caramel so you probably should take that with a grain of salt. I just found this bar a little too typical and a little too sweet. Don't get me wrong, I still ate the whole thing, but It wouldnt be my first choice from the Noir line -
