Has anyone tried the Garnier Sleek and Smooth line yet?

If so does it work?

I have lots of thick curly hair and it's fairly long (just past my shoulders). To get away from the 'crunchy' feel of it, I use Paul Mitchell medium hold sculpting foam. It's like a mousse in that it's applied the same way but there's something in it, that it doesn't leave your hair crunchy. And I put quite a bit of the product in because I have so much freaking hair. I apply after just towel drying my hair, then shake it around a bit to kinda aerate my hair, and just let it dry naturally throughout the day. I can usually go three days without having to wash my hair again if I want to keep the curls in. And surprisingly, my hair doesn't look greasy or nasty by that third day. I just mist it with water to keep the frizz down and smooth it, and I'm good.

Question for those of you that have lots of thick curly hair - what is the best styling product and best straightener to use to straighten your hair and not make it look like dry wheat?

On skin care, I'm using the ProActiv line for getting rid of acne and it's actually working really well for me. I didn't have massive acne but I had enough acne to annoy me (I'm freaking 20yrs old not 14, dammit) so I finally relented and got ProActiv. I just follow the basic routine of washing my face in the am and pm and it's made my skin clearer. I also tried the Bare Escentuals/id bare minerals make-up, and I'm a fan of it. A sister of mine let me use it one evening (which is fine because they're powder based and you need a brush to apply), and it definitely feels much better than applying liquid foundation - no oily residue. I'm considering ordering the Bare Escentuals make-up for myself.

I had my nails done today and my nail tech used a new top coat, OPI Drip Dry. It dries your polish to the touch after 1 minute and it is completely dry after 5 minutes. It's fab and my nails look great!!

Now if I could only decide what to do with my hair:rolleyes:

Has anyone used DuWop's Lip Venom? http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P51803. It is supposed to make your lips all pouty and bee stung! ;)

I bought it years ago when it came out. now they have lipstick line and shimmering glitter venom. I still have it and its STILL good!! worth it for 15 bucks.....sneak it on before you kiss a guy for first time. :) it will make it extra tingly!!

Have anyone tried the L'Oreal Microdermabrasion kit?

If so how it work?

I absolutely LOVE Lip Venom!! I have the plain kind and the shimmery kind. Soooo wonderfully tingly!!

I've also tried the Brunette stuff by John Frieda, and honestly I couldn't tell a difference. I've also tried the Garnier line, and it made my hair fall out! Not in clumps or anything, but alot more strands than normal. I stopped using that stuff pretty quickly.

My sister tried it and liked it. She said her skin glowed afterwards.


Has anyone else tried the Oil of Olay in-shower body lotion? I love it. It smells amazing and makes my skin feel so much more moisturized. I still use lotion when I get out, but it makes my skin feel a lot better :)

has anyone tried lorrel's dream matte moose foundation? easy to blend? messy? thanks :)

Clinque's Total Turnaround face cream is so good. It's $30 for 1.5oz though. I couldnt justify spending that much on face cream but my mom got it for me yesterday because I've been so depressed.

Anyone know a good body lotion for dry skin? Since the weather starting to get colder my skin starts to get dry.

i love love love the shea butter body butter from the body shop...it's a really good lotion and it smells great! i highly recommend!

Try St. Ives Whipped Silk. It smells really nice and is good for dry skin. They also have body wash. Or for really dry skin use TreeHut Nut Butter. It's really thick and it smells SO good it makes me want to lick myself.

I work for Estee Lauder and we recommend that you replace your mascara ever 2-3 months. 3 months Max. I replace mine about every month and a half to 2 months. But I also get mine for free so...


And as far as that Clinique Lipgloss...It does start to smell like butt after a while. It's nauseating. You wouldn't beleive how many they have returned to them because of that.

Thanks DGqueen17 and OtterXO

I am going to see which of the two products works the bests for my skin. I'm such a product junkie

Also, I'm sure this is some kind of marketing ploy, but since buying the October Cosmo magazine (it has the cosmo beauty awards) I have bought and tried 1 product:

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss (which I so love it looks so pretty without feeling so sticky)

I have also tried Rimmel's gentle Make-up remover (it feels like water on a cotton ball), but it actually took off my make-up.
