I didn't find this shampoo all that special. I used it in conjuction with the corresponding conditioner.
It cleaned my hair but nothing else. I didn't find it clarifying nor did it add extra moisture. I can't even explain it because I found it completely forgettable. Just a very average shampoo that has the pantene smell. Since it costs a tad more then some other drugstore brands I wouldn't spend the extra on this.

This is just as it describes, a light conditioner. I prefer a thick conditioner so I won't be purchasing a full bottle.
If you have thinner hair then tends to be limp but still want a conditioner I would give this a try. I missed the nice sleek deep moisturised feeling of a thick conditioner and since I don't have a problem with flat hair I didn't feel like it gave me any extra lift.
I would say give it a try if you want a light conditioner, it still detangled my hair in the shower but didn't feel like the effect was long lasting. I found my hair to get tangled more during the day then usual.

I use this as my everyday powder to keep away shine. I usually dust this lightly to set my foundation or concealer. This can lighten your face if you use too much.
For $3 this is a great finely milled powder, I tend to focus the yellow on my undereye circles. Sometimes I buff this lightly without any foundation and it's good at keeping my skin from getting too shiny.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Powder Brush
Great quality brush for the price! Didn't shed when I washed it but it did bleed a little. Soft synthetic brush perfect for buffing it powder. I've yet to try it with liquid foundation but for powder I thought it was great. I really can't complain... +
Great quality brush for the price!
Didn't shed when I washed it but it did bleed a little. Soft synthetic brush perfect for buffing it powder. I've yet to try it with liquid foundation but for powder I thought it was great. I really can't complain for the price I think this is way better then many other discount brushes.

I had to pick this up after I saw a youtube video stating this would a dupe to Dior Amber Diamond highlight powder.
It truly is a beautiful shimmery highlighter, you can focus on more of the darker colors for a shimmer bronzer which would be beautiful during the summer. I think I will be using this a lot more during the summer months.
Lots of product for the price and since it comes with 4 squares of color this is a very versatile product. It can be used as eyeshadows and by focusing your brush on certain squares you can get a darker bronzer or light highlight.

These is a silica powder that is known for leaving your skin a beautiful satin texture.
To avoid a white cast be sure to use very little. I do like this powder, I really only use if I'm doing a more full face of makeup such as special events or going out at night. I love how it makes my skin look smooth and flawless.
I would definitely recommend trying this out if you're contemplating the Makeup Forever HD powder since it's much more affordable. The only thing I dislike is the packaging, if you peel off the sticker this thing is going to get super messy and the powder will be all over the place, instead poke a few holes through the sticker and it will be much more controllable. Also I would use a brush for a light dusting instead of using the puff that it comes with.

Amazing pigmentation for such a discount blush.
I have the colours pink passion, tickled pink, and giddy gold.
Tickled pink is by far the best texture, goes on smoothly and easy to blend, great everyday color.
Pink Passion is amazingly pigmented but can be powdery, takes more effort to blend then tickled pink but still very easy.
Giddy Gold is more of a highlighter, I was hoping it would be a Nars Taj Mahal dupe but sadly it is just gold, and lightly pigmented.
Cannot go wrong with these blushes, I got them 50% off on cyber monday so $1.50 each!

L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara

Great mascara, it has a narrow "wiper" in the neck of the tube so the brush comes out without clumps of mascara. Great for defining lashes and easy to layer on coats without clumping to build of volume. I didn't find it did anything for lengthening but it isn't a lengthening mascara so I wasn't disappointed. The plastic comb like brush works great with the mascara, easy to coat every lash and not clumping them together.
Very impressed, I use the waterproof version and I love it!

I bought this on a whim in the clearance box at shoppers cause I need a very very strong hold hairspray for Halloween.
This stuff is amazing, I did a female "fauxhawk" with involved quite a tall teased poof along the top of my head and this hairspray worked flawlessly. Some spiff of the spray, tease, tease, tease and my hair stuck straight up it was awesome. It also lasted through the night with partying, it can be touched and the hair just bounced back. The trigger nozzle made is really easy to get to tough spots at the back of my head by using my thumb so that was really nice.
This is great for extreme hairstyles, if you're looking for a non crunchy lighter hold stray this is not for you. If you want a hairspray for some serious hold then try this out.

John Frieda Frizz Ease Original Hair Serum

This is pretty generic in terms of a silicon hair serum, it worked great at sleeking out your hair taming flyaways and smoothing ends. My hair is slightly wavy so it helps define my waves a bit too. A great product if you want a cheaper alternative the got2b glossy anti-frizz shine serum does the same thing. The pump bottle of the John Frieda is nice though.
Beware, use only a little, too much and this will make your hair look greasy and limp.
