This is a lightweight nightcream, it moisturizes without being heavy or greasy. I believe all of Biore's Skin Preservation products are oil-free, so they all achieve the same moisture-rich, non oily and non-greasy results. My skin feels preserved in the morning. I think it smells nice. And, it has these tiny few little pink balls that are bursting with Vitamin E. This is a great line in general for women with in-between skin which refers to the 18-35 age group, I believe. After acne, before wrinkles.

My sister gave me this conditioner as a gift. She works at a salon as a hair stylist. She knows what my hair has been through, (Stripped, dyed every color, by the box and professionally, cut myself and professionally, and heat styled (straightened, curled and blow dryed)...everything. Using it made me feel like I was giving my hair the moisture it needed. Really replenishing it. I have very long hair but only need a small dab each time I condition, because I only put it on the ends (about 4 inches up from the ends, because I have layers and my hair was really dry). You can use this conditioning balm once a week for deep conditioning treatment, because it's that powerful, or you can use very small amounts when you wash your hair every say three days. I don't shampoo every day, because I already have dry hair, but I don't use a lot of conditioner because otherwise it would be limp and get greasy too quickly. Anyway, my hair feels taken care of with this conditioner that comes in a tub and...

This stuff works. I have combination skin, dry near the cheek, outer face area, oily around my mouth nose and sometimes on my forehead (T-zone mostly). I put on an oil-free moistuizer (concentrating on my cheeks and neck, then very lightly on the rest of my face. Then eye cream, and finally Mary Kay's Acne Tratment Gel, in my problem areas. If my skin feels dry already I won't put it on. But if I feel my skin getting oily I will put it on around my mouth and lightly on my nose and it totally prevents pimples from happening. When I do have a pimple, I simply follow the routine above and put a dab of the acne gel on the pimples (best if you put it on at first notice) and it's gone within a couple of days. It basically works the way Proactive does, but I like the gel for spot treatment and because it's just cheaper and doesn't cause me to dry as much as Proactive does. It's better for people with combination skin, because it doesn't dry out areas that are normal to dry, you can sort of sort...

I have been using Venus Embrace Razor for a while. Even though it's disposable, it works great. It's quality and lasts longer than most. I also like the Venus Malibu, though it only has 3 blades it works just as well. The Embrace however, allows you to shave with that much more confidence since there is extra cushioning. I love the soft grip handle and soft outerlining cusions because they prevent me from getting cuts on places like my knees and ankles, and I adore the FIVE blades, because well, five blades means I get that much closer of a shave each time. I've been using these for a while and will continue to use them. They adapt to the curves that all women have, and really last. It's worth the extra couple of bucks compared to those two even three blade razors with no cushion at all. I am guaranteed to cut myself with those, and they last one shave.

Since first buying Wet2Straight at 17, I've stuck with it until now...24. This straightener heats up quickly, has 30 heat settings, is quick and easy to use. The 2-inch plates are preferable for me since they cover more hair more quickly, since mine is especially thick and long this can be a lifesaver for my wrist and my time. This straightener also leaves my hair super soft, completely frizz-less (if I do nothing to my hair it will be semi-wavy and frizzy) and really straight. It is a little heavier than the one inch plates, but it definitely makes up for that in results. Those other smaller straighteners just don't work for me.The best parts are it lasts long (I have had the same one for almost 7 years) and if you're pressed for time, you can straighten as your dair dries. That way you don't necessarily have to blowdry, just straighten once your hair is on the damp-dry side.
Happy straightening!

I love have always loved all of John Frieda's haric are products. I have wavy very light golden brown hair naturally, but have had my hair dyed blonde, red and dar brown. I have used John Frieda's Sheer Blonde, Radiant Red and now Brilliant Brunette (Shine Release Shampoo), and have loved them all. They each worked with my hair's color accordingly to keep color locked in longer than anything else I've ever tried. It's easy to shampoo and you only need a small amount. I love the smell, it wakes me up and smmakes me feel like I'm at the salon! I also used John Frieda's frizz ease products, like the leaving condition, shampoo, condition and serum. John Frieda's products seem to their job in the area they claim to do their job in. The color shampoos keep my color lasting longer and looking the best it can, while the frizz ease products have always helped my manage my frizzy wavy hair. I will continue to buy John Frieda's products!

I love Biore's Skin Preservation Eye Cream. I put it on after I shower, just before bed, and then I put it on in the morning after I wash my face and before putting on make-up. It feels incredibly delicate and smooth when it goes on, not at all greasy or oily yet still fully hydrating. I can feel it doing it's job: smoothing and strengthing at the same time. For a woman like me in her twenties, I worry about stopping wrinkles before they start, but I don't want to wear some heavy eye creams like I've tried in the past. Biore's Skin Preservation Eye Cream is light, but plentifully hydrating and as smooth as a baby's bottom! Really! I love putting it on! It's for those of us who are "in between" (after acne, but before wrinkles) in my case. These are the crucial years where the littlest things we do count. Wearing this eye cream, makes me feel better about going out in the sun and wearing makeup. Just like feeding myself a natural smoothie with fruits and vegetables strengthens, revitalizes...
