Have you ever tried this product thread
 

This thread will be for anyone to ask has anyone used a specific product and could give their opinion about the product.

I keep seeing the commercials for the Beautiful Brunette products and I was wondering if anyone has tried this new line yet?

Let me know because I was thinking of buying the shampoo, condition, etc. Are the products worth the money?

I've used sheer blonde which I would assume is the same as beautiful brunette. IT works great (I have the shampoo, conditioner, sea spray, and dream creme) but none of it smells very good so I always mist something into my hair after I use it.

They're also all on sale at Target this week.

I was wondering if anyone has tried or know of anyone who has tried that 6 week body make over thingy from that infomercial. I dont need it, but my mother is morbidly obese. If i knew it worked, I'd like to get it for her(she couldnt afford to buy it herself), but I want to make sure that it works before I spend that kind of money, regardless of a money back guarantee.

Annice22 and GP: what exactly are the sheer blonde and beautiful brunette products supposed to do? Are they supposed to enhance your color or something? I'm a brunette with blond highlights/streaks in my hair so I dont know if I could use either presently.......

Re: Have you ever tried this product thread
 

I use the Brilliante Brunette conditioner and gel. I love the conditioner! Buy it! The gel is pretty average, though it does make your hair nice and shiny.

I haven't heard anything about the Beautiful Brunette products but a friend of mine uses the Sheer Blonde products and says they are amazing. The shampoos are supposed to brighten your natural highlights and colors.

ThetaPrincess- I'm also wondering the same thing about color treated hair. Naturally, I have light brown to dark blonde hair but I put blonde highlights/streaks in my hair. Does the Sheer Blonde lighten color treated hair? It would be great if it does since my highlights will start looking a little brassy if I go too long between hair appointments.

It doesn't change or alter your hair color. It just makes it shiny. That's all. As far as I can tell it's safe for colour treated hair.

Has anyone used the new products for curly hair called Curl Matrix (I think)? I've been wondering if it's any good.

if it works as good as their straightening line, I would say go for it. My stylist recommended it to me because i have natural waves. But i straighten my hair so there isn't really a need for it.
I also like their volumizing line.

I have also wondered about the brilliant brunette line. I have massive color treatment damage so i am waiting til my roots grow out more to start using it. It didn't say anything about safe for color treated so I don't want to risk it yet.

I have dark brown hair that has tons and tons of blonde highlights in it. I started using the Sheer Blonde stuff last semester and I looooove it. It makes my highlights really stand out and look extra blonde. Plus the sea spray stuff smells SOOOOO good, like coconut tanning oil (I am a sucker for that) and it gives great texture to my hair.

Thanks I think I will go out and buy some of the products for beautiful brunette. My brown hair needs a brightner or some shine added to it.

For ThetaPrincess24 about the 6 week excerse program I would make sure your mom doctor okay the program before you buy it first. In general I think most of the workout programs probably work because they are giving you a guideline to shape your body.

Your mom will have to reduce her calorie intake, do cardio, and lift weights. She can also so do that with out spending alot of money. A walking program is good for beginners because there is less stress on the heart and body.

Sheer Blonde is also supposed to stop highlights from changing color from sun exposure... so they don't start too look that lovely shade of brass after a while.

I just stopped using the clinque 3 step facial care system and I'm trying the Aveeno skin brightening line, I have to say I think it's working very well.

I have always wondered about that sea spray stuff. I see it advertised or mentioned in Cosmo and whatnot. I have really fine hair and I know it looks kinda funky when I hang out at the beach all day. So I am not sure if it's the best look for me. What does it do to your hair exactly?

My mom already reduces her calorie intake(probably too much) it doenst work for her because her metabolism is shot. She also cant do heavy cardio or a walking routine. She has almost no cartilage in her knees, so it's bone on bone for the most part. She has trouble just getting around her apartment. She also has a touch of rheumatoid arthritis and a whole host of other medical problems due to her morbid obesity. I though the body makeover program migth work for her because the exercises from teh infomercial are seated and are only done for like 15 minutes twice a week, and you come up with some kind of blueprint for your specific body type and metabolism needs. She has no insurance so gastric bypass and the other weightloss surgeries are out of the question. Before she can do any kind of cardio or walking really some of the weight has to come off to relieve the pressure in her knees.

I feel really sad. I hope your moms health improves. She should be very happy that she has a daughter who cares so much for her.

Since I have not seen the commercial for the program from what you said it may help out a lot. I'm not sure if you have this channel but they show an excercise program where they workout in chairs. I'm not sure but I think it's on PBS.

YES! I use Nads. It works really well. But of course...waxing never feels good. It hurts like hell...but I think it's worth it because your hair doesn't grow back for like 2-3 weeks.


As for the diets (6 week body makeover) go to http://ediets.com

there is a review of almost EVERY diet out there.

I used the Sally Hansen sugar home wax kit.

It works really great. I also love that if you make a mistake with the wax you can just rinse it off with water.

I use the Sally Hansen version of the plastic wax sheets.. they work wonders. I've used Nads before.. but you have to let your hair get braidibly (hahaha.. new word for ya'll) long before it will work at its best.

edited for spelling.

I use it to add some texture to my hair - after I straighten it, instead of glossing I'll spray that in and comb it through with my fingers. I also use it when I'm keeping my hair wavy for the day.

I went to Super Target yesterday to do some grocery shopping and picked up some Sheer Blonde. It makes my highlights stand out a lot more and my hair is so shiny! I'm sold! :)

I've tried both Nads and Veet. Couldn't get Nads to work at all, but Veet is good. It has a nice roller to put the wax on with, not messy at all.

Thanks for your concern. Most of her problem is not takign responsibility for her actions and thus having a victim of the world mentality but that's a separate thread. Disregard my posts about this program. I talked to her last night, apparently she has just bought it and is getting ready to start it. I dont know how she got the money for it(guess she somehow talked dad into a raise in her alimony or something). Hopefully this will work for her.

I tried some kind of home waxing kit when I was a senior in high school.............tried to give myself a bikini wax............worst pain in my life! I felt like the skin ripped off with the wax paper. The hair didnt come out either (I'm now convinced that shaving is just the best way) and it left bruises and redness on me so bad i couldnt go swimming for a week and a half. No offense but screw that shit! :)

I use the Nair roll-on sugar wax kit sometimes. It works well, smells good and cleans up easily.

My mom just got back from NYC and she brought me some of the Deliciously Kissable Body Gloss. It smells AMAZING (like chocolate), but honestly I could get the same effect with Jergens Shimmering body lotion and for a hell of lot cheaper. And I don't really like smelling like food .

Haha my roommate has naturally curly hair (and tons of it as well!) She told us that when she was at the mall they were giving out free samples of it and the lady chased down her and her sisters to give them some. All three of them have curly hair it's so pretty. She goes through conditioner like nothing.

I just have a perm thats falling out.

HEHEHEHHE I tried to do at home waxing and it wasn't water based.... so I had wax on my legs and took like three showers trying to get it off I had to call a salon and find out it to use baby oil to get it off... OHH... yeah I felt REAL smart !!

Has anyone ever tried the Windsor Pilates tapes. Does it work? I was looking for a way to keep in shape when I don't have time to go to the gym which is all the time.

I have these! I love them! About this time last year, I was doing the 20 minute tape everyday. I felt so refreshed and people kept telling me how good I looked. If you do the tape correctly, your abs will definately tighten up and your flexibility will increase. I bought mine off the TV, but I think you can get them at Target now. Definately reccommend! :)

they totally work for toning.. but I would recommend adding in some cardio to your routine as well

has anyone tried bare escentuals makeup. i see it on tv all the time. i've tried it a couple of times, but i don't wear make up that much, so i don't really use it. when i did, i thought that it would come off through the day.

Now I need to go out and buy the brunette stuff...I hesisitated when I saw it in the store because I've bought so many different hair things that never do any difference....I'll go out this week and buy it! :)

sally hansen wax works great. you can buy replacement strips for a few bucks at a beauty supply store.

but before you wax anything, go to a salon and watch how they do it. don't every try it on yourself without knowing how.

What does this new blue hawiian punch and berry sprite taste like?

Does the berry sprite taste anything like pepsi blue?

Has anyone ever used any of the Tresemme shampoo and conditiners?

What about this crazy spray on pantyhose I'm seeing? I know Sally Hansen makes some...

Yeah, they're not bad. And they're rather inexpensive.

humminah WHAT? Spray on pantyhose?! How..?

http://www.sallyhansen.com/airbrush_group3.jpg

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! almost more like a spray on tan type deal. I don't know what I was thinking :confused:

I thought it was more of a pantyhose thing too, rather than a tan...I don't know. Maybe that's a bad example.
