I started to use this around July 4th and I have to say this is a fabulous find. I will reveal it's one flaw (maybe 2 at most) early on:
I am normally NW35 in MAC's studio fix fluid and I am the DARKEST shade (SP07) in this Shiseido foundation. SP07 STILL is a little too light but it is ridiculous. This means that MANY women cannot enjoy this product.
Anyways, enough about bashing.
This product is PA and broad spectrum which means that it protects against both aging and cancer rays by the sun (aka UVA/UVB). Yesterday I was outside for 4 hours in the hot FL sun and did NOT get sunburned whatsoever. Shiseido themselves does not recommend that you do this, by the way LOL.
In addition, it is a very thin foundation that is still full coverage. In other words, it will not look cakey while still giving you the coverage that you need for hot summer days.
I also find that it stays put in the pool, throughout a work day (9-5), and when just running errands throughout the day. It is moisturizing and does not feel heavy on.
So all in all, if you are NW35 or lighter, go buy this foundation! It is available only in the USA at Macy's Shiseido counters.

First of all, when I saw these babies in their packaging my first thought was "these are so tiny!" but wait! This is where it gets interesting:
I had polished nails on the day that I received it but read the instructions and they said they can be used on polished nails too! I was doubtful that it could have a positive effect on polished nails because how can you get shinier nails than polished ones? Haha. That is where I was wrong!
I used the patterned side (as instructed to do so) and wow! It looks like I applied a fresh TOP coat on!
The size of these buffers are perfect to put in your makeup bag for "on the go" and I find that I grab for them anywhere! Bus, at a stoplight, in class, wherever!
Totally worth the investment, in my honest opinion !

First of all I have a natural afro, I have thick coarse hair and a lot of it! I also have long black wavy hair. When I first opened the bottle, the conditioning shake smelled great! It smelled light, clean and refreshing. I thought that the dual-phase conditioning shake was a brilliant idea! It also has a heat protectant which is fantastic since I usually need to apply one before using a heat tool (i.e., a curling/straightening iron or a hair dryer). When I did apply it when my hair was damp, it could not undo the damage that was done by the shampoo and conditioner previously. The shampoo made my hair brittle and dry and felt like it stripped my hair of all its natural oils and therefore failed to provide heat protection from my heat tools :/ Even when I did apply A LOT of the conditioning shake, it still felt dry. It was the OPPOSITE OF HYDRATION! Overall a mediocre product since I DO use pantene’s other line on a regular basis. The effectiveness was horrible and made my hair VERY VERY VERY frizzy and dry. Pantene claims it will not weigh your hair down. In my opinion? It didn’t make a difference and IN FACT would weigh my hair down more than MOST products since I have to apply so much more product to compensate for the dryness. My hair did not feel soft like it normally does nor did it feel light. Overall, not a winner for me :/ I do not think the quality was there. I would recommend this product if I had a friend that was on a budget and had thin, lifeless hair.

First of all I have a natural afro, I have thick coarse hair and a lot of it! I also have long black wavy hair. When I first opened the bottle, the conditioner smelled great! It smelled light, clean and refreshing. It DID rinse clean, BUT…It rinsed a little TOO clean for a conditioner. The shampoo made my hair brittle and dry and felt like it stripped my hair of all its natural oils. Even when I did apply A LOT of conditioner, it still felt dry. It was the OPPOSITE OF HYDRATION! Overall a mediocre product since I DO use pantene’s other line on a regular basis. The effectiveness was horrible and made my hair VERY VERY VERY frizzy and dry. Pantene claims it will not weigh your hair down. In my opinion? It didn’t make a difference and IN FACT would weigh my hair down more than MOST products since I have to apply so much more product in order to make my hair feel AT LEAST natural. My hair did not feel soft like it normally does nor did it feel light. Overall, Not a winner for me :/ I do not think the quality was there. I would recommend this product if I had a friend that was on a budget and had thin, lifeless hair.

Pantene Pro-V Medium-Thick Hair Solutions Shampoo
I love this shampoo! After using this, I can flat iron my hair in 30 minutes flat (it usually takes about an hour or so). I will definitely be repurchasing! I think Pantene has come a long way in their brand.

I switch from my lotion in the summer to this for the winter because its thick and moisturizes extremely well! The harsh winter winds cannot penetrate this! A must have for the winter months.
