title: Strong Clay Scent

text: I like everything about this BOB Bars Over Bottles shampoo bar except the scent, which unfortunately is a major player with me. The shampoo bar is packaged in an environmentally beneficial way, with a recyclable cardboard box just large enough to contain the soap and its paper wrapping. It is plastic free, vegan, cruelty free, and it uses natural ingredients. The ingredients include green clay, lemongrass, rosemary, and peppermint. I truly enjoy the scents of lemongrass, rosemary, and peppermint, so I didn't give the green clay part any thought at all prior to ordering this bar. Unfortunately, the scent of the green clay overwhelms the other scents enormously, and I don't find the wet clay smell enjoyable at all. The soap lathers and cleans well, and rinses out nicely. However, I don't want to wash my hair with something that smells unpleasant to me, especially since there are so many competing shampoo bars that smell wonderful and are just as environmentally friendly.


title: Great for Home or Travel, Easy to Use

text: This B.O.B. Bars Over Bottles Conditioner Bar Ultra Moisturizing is absolutely perfect for me. The packaging is simple and recyclable. A small cardboard box just large enough to hold the conditioner bar, and a simple paper wrapper around the bar inside. That's it. No bottle, no plastic, no waste. Love it. This bar works great for home or travel. Since there is no liquid for TSA to have to approve, I can keep this in my carry-on luggage if I'm flying somewhere. It's small size makes it easy to pack.  One of these bars lasts forever, so I can keep it in my travel kit and use it for multiple trips. It's also good for home use, taking up very little space in my shower caddy. The scent of this conditioner bar is very pleasant. This conditioner bar contains Pracaxi oil, which is a vitamin rich hair oil that hydrates, promotes hair growth, and strengthens damaged hair. This conditioner bar is also vegan and is cruelty free. That is an awful lot of good reasons for me to absolutely love this conditioner bar, and I am happy I ordered it.

title: Nice Presentation, Great Positive Message, Very Giftable

text: This gift set makes a great first impression. The box is black trimmed in gold. On the cover there is a gold outline of a compact mirror. Inside that outline it says, "Not a Day Over Fabulous." Inside, there is a nice large white woven cosmetic bag (that of course could be used for lots of other things, too), a 4" square jewelry plate, and a gold compact mirror. All say in flowing script, "Beautiful girl you can do fabulous things." The compact case has the same inscription on both the front and back cover, which is great. In its brand new state, the writing on the compact mirror doesn't show up well from a distance, but I think with use the engraved area will darken a bit and the writing will be better seen. The message is meant for the one holding the mirror, anyway, and not others nearby, so even if it doesn't darken, it still delivers inspiration where it's intended. The mirror quality is good. These items make a perfect gift set to give to a girl in age or a girl at heart, and I'm sure would be appreciated by either.


title: So Soft and Comfortable, Perfect Size for Me

text: This bath pillow has turned out to be absolutely what I want in a pillow. I tried a prior one that was much bigger with supporting sides that ran halfway down my back, and found that it put me at an awkward angle in the tub that put way too much pressure on my tailbone and was extremely uncomfortable. I ordered this one to replace the other one, and I am thrilled with it. It's incredibly comfortable to rest my head against, and stays in place well using the two large suction cups on the back of it. I usually like to slide deeper into the tub about halfway through my bath, and this pillow is small enough and light enough that I can simply and easily readjust it to my new position, and it's still just as secure and just as comfortable after I've moved it. When I'm done bathing, it has a handy plastic hook attached that I can use to hang the bath pillow on the towel rack to dry. This pillow currently sells for $12.99, and I feel like it's a good value.


title: Wonderful Scent, Mositurizes Well

text: This Gryph & IvyRose Coat of Arms Body Lotion smells so good that I can't seem to stop sniffing my hands once I've applied the lotion. It comes in an 8 fl. oz. (240 ml) plastic bottle with a push top cap and a couple of cute sea turtles on the label. The lotion is thick and white and contains lots of ingredients that are wonderful for my skin--oils, botanical extracts, aloe, shea butter, etc. My skin is left smooth, soft, well hydrated, and smelling wonderful. This body lotion currently sells for $14.99, and I consider it a good value for kids and adults alike.


title: Cleans Well and Shrinks Pores

text: I got this for my wife, and here is her review: I liked this Not My Mama's Bubbling Face Wash before I even received it, because I thought the name was cute. The plastic 6 oz bottle has an iridescent label that reflects light just like bubbles do, which is kind of cool. The ingredient list is full of natural components, which is good. The bottle has an inner safety seal, so there was no leakage during shipment. This also reassures me that the contents have not been tampered with. The wash itself applies smoothly. Best of all, though, are the results. This cleans my face thoroughly and gently, and shrinks my pores well. My skin feels smooth and fresh after using this. I have very sensitive skin, and it's extremely hard for me to find a face wash that cleans well without leaving my face feeling dry and irritated. This face wash does exactly what I need for it to do. It currently lists for $20, but it takes very little to clean my entire face, so I expect it to last a while. After trying so many disappointing facial cleansers, I am quite happy with this one and definitely consider it a good value.


title: Brushes do not spin, they vibrate

text: When I first tried this facial cleansing brush I thought it was broken, the brushes would not spin they just vibrated.  Upon further review of the product information page I could see that the device did in fact work by vibration.  The set comes with three brush heads for dry, normal and oily skin.  There's also a wireless charging base that can hold one of the brush heads, a charging cable (USB to micro USB) and a "user guide" which is not very good (it states that there are two brushes, there are three, a number of other problems).  The guide also recommends replacing the brushes after using for 3 months but I couldn't find any replacement brushes.  May be a good facial cleaner but it just tickled my face and didn't feel like it was doing much else.


title: Very Nice Pre-Wrapped Gift Set for Moms of All Ages

text: This is an absolutely wonderful gift set that is even nicely pre-wrapped with colorful paper and a beige ribbon and bow. The back of the box has a label explaining what's inside, but because of the type of adhesive and the type of glossy wrapping used, this label can be easily peeled off with no sticky adhesive remnant on the wrapping paper (see my before and after photos). Inside the wrapper, is a plain white sturdy cardboard box. Inside, there is a wrapped square bar of scented soap, a box of dried rose petals that look and smell pretty, and three rose and lavender scented bath bombs that spell out the word "MOM." The "O" in "MOM" is shaped like a pink heart. All these items are resting on a bed of white nesting paper. Both the wrapping paper for the soap and the cardboard of the box containing the rose petals have the same pattern as the outer wrapping paper. Among other ingredients, each bath bomb contains coconut oil, sea salt, and shea butter. For the dried rose petals, it says to place them in still, warm bath water. It also says to drain the bath as usual as the dried florals are biodegradable. This gift is not just for Mother's Day, it's for any mom, any day, who would enjoy a thoughtful gift and a relaxing bath with these lovely scented bath bombs.


title: Can Definitely Feel the Heat

text: This order comes with two 60 ml tubes of slimming cream. I use a disposable glove to apply it, and that keeps me from accidentally getting it in my eyes or anywhere else I don't intend for it to be. My focus area with this cream is my abdomen, admittedly one of the hardest areas to lose belly fat regardless of method. The burn is delayed for about 10 minutes, but when it starts, I can definitely feel it. It's a strong sensation, but not painful, and it reassures me that the cream is activating. Like probably many other folks who use this cream, I am also doing other things at the same time to try and lose weight: watching what I eat, exercising more, drinking more water, etc. Therefore, even though I am very slowly seeing a reduction in my belly fat, it's difficult for me to say how much of that is from using this cream and how much is from the other measures that I am taking to produce the same result. I consider $12.98 for two tubes a reasonable price for adding this cream to my weight loss efforts, and will continue to use it as long as I continue to see results.


title: Lathers Well, Cleans Well, Nice and Portable for Travel

text: This shampoo bar is great for travel away from home. It measures 2 5/8 inches in diameter and about 7/8  inches deep. It fits easily into carry-on luggage, a shaving kit, or a backpack. To me the scent smelled more like chalk than coconut, but it lathers well, cleans thoroughly, and washes out well with no residual scent, so I'm not docking it any stars for the scent. I don't see myself reordering it at the current list price of $13.00 (13% off the original price of $15.00), because there are many other bars with a more pleasant fragrance that do just as good a job, but I will gladly use the rest of this bar without complaint. No matter what, shampoo bars are handy for traveling and are great for the environment, and I like the eco-friendly packaging of just a simply, recyclable cardboard box and no plastic wrapper.


title: So Much More than Just an Air Freshener

text: I never in my life would have thought I'd consider an air freshener as a giftable item, except perhaps as a gag gift to one of my brothers. This Florona Hibiscus Air Freshener, however, is in a class all by itself. Even the box it comes in is beautiful, with soft sweeping white and beige brush strokes in the background and beautiful flowers embossed in gold. The pattern wraps all the way around the box, with each side being different. The inside of the box is a vivid lime green. The spray bottle for the air freshener looks more like a perfume bottle, light and dark pink with more of the gold embossing, this time with leaves instead of flowers. The key ingredients of this air freshener are water, hibiscus oil, and hydrogenated castor oil. The bottle contains 3.38 fl oz (100 ml). The directions say to wash linens and clothes before spraying this linen mist on them. It says this spray can be used on sheets, furniture fabric, drapes, pillows, and directly in the room as an air freshener. It also says to shake the bottle well before using it. When sprayed, the hibiscus scent is very subtle and faint, but definitely there. My wife had me spray some on the blouse she was wearing so that she could enjoy the hibiscus scent all day long, and she plans to spray her pillow before she goes to sleep. For a soft, gentle hibiscus aroma that stays pleasantly in the background without overwhelming my senses, this Florona Hibiscus Air Freshener works well.


title: Impressively Sharp, Sturdy and Well Made

text: This pair of nail clippers definitely have some heft to them compared to regular store-bought clippers. They are solid stainless steel, and built to last. The same colorful design is on the back of each, but the curved blade clippers are a bit darker green than the diagonal blade clippers, making it easy to quickly grab the one I want out of the bathroom drawer or my shaving kit. Boy, are these clippers sharp! I usually use a curved blade for trimming both fingernails and toenails. Where the diagonal blade comes in handy for me is when I have to go after a hangnail. This blade allows me to remove the hangnail with surgical precision. Trying to do the same thing with other blades usually results in part of the hangnail still being left behind to cause me a great deal of pain and aggravation later. This is a fantastic set of fingernail clippers, and well worth the current price of $8.99.


title: Smells Nice, Cleans Well, but Very Tiny Bar--Update

text: I ordered the Vitamin Papaya facial beauty bar. The online product information says the facial bars typically last 2-3 months with daily use. This is such a tiny, tiny little bar, I can't even remotely imagine it lasting as long as they claim. This little bar measures 2 1/4'" x 1 1/4" x 1/2". It weighs 1.3 oz. The soap comes with a facial sponge that is 2 5/16" in diameter. The soap lathers nicely and cleans my face well. The scent is very pleasant. I do not see myself reordering this little bitty bar of soap, however, when I can buy a full size natural, handmade bar online for the same price from quite a number of different sellers.***Update. I discovered the way to make the soap last as long as claimed is to apply it using the face sponge provided. It only takes a tiny swipe of the soap with the facial sponge to have enough lather to wash my whole face. After using a number of other facial cleaning products after I initially wrote this review, I switched back to this facial bar and realized that, using it with the facial sponge, it leaves my face feeling incredibly smooth and blemish free. I am happily upgrading this little bar to a 5 star. It may be small, but it does an amazing job!


title: Good gritty feel

text: I like a facial scrub that I can actually feel scrubbing and this Disco scrub meets that criteria.  In the attached photo you can see the grit contained in the scrub.  The directions say to use a amount equal to a penny and my experience says that's enough to do a good job of exfoliating facial skin.  The scent to me seemed like a burnt avocado, not particularly pleasant but I'm not using it for the scent and the scent rinses off.  I deducted one-star for the price which seems a bit steep to me.  My regular scrub costs significantly less and exfoliates as well if not a bit better.  Good to try, good as a gift but I probably wouldn't buy again.


title: Some Good, Mostly Bad, A Little Surprising

text:
The good:  The scent - prior to mixing the powder with water, there is strong orange scent, which I like.
The bad: It's a powder that you have to mix prior to use.  Directions say to mix it in a bowl or just mix it in your hand prior to use.  Well, I went with "hand" option.  The first time I got a thick paste that was pretty gritty, which I like, but it left my skin dried out but with a feeling that there was still some residue on it despite having rinsed quite well.  Second attempt produced a thinner mixture which was again gritty enough but still left me with the same results.
The surprising:  Although I didn't care for this product as a "facial scrub" it did have an interesting side effect: it lightened an age spot that's on me cheekbone area.  After the first use I noticed it but didn't really attribute it to the scrub.  After the second use if was more pronounced and I can't attribute it to anything other than the scrub.  While some may consider the lightening of age spots a good thing, I don't.  If I wanted to lighten anything I'd buy a product that claimed that ability.  The fact that it had that effect kind of tells me I don't want to use the product anymore.  Between the hassle of having to mix the scrub and the effects it had I'll not be using it again.  Some products I order but don't end up liking I'll give to other family members but not this one.  Not recommended.


title: Not Just a Name, The Shampoo and Conditioner Really Are Purple

text: I got this shampoo and conditioner for my wife--here is her review: I wanted this shampoo and conditioner because it said it worked really well for gray and white hair--as a senior I have plenty of both--and because it got good reviews re fragrance and how soft it left hair. When I was in the shower and squirted some shampoo into my hand, I was amazed to see that the shampoo really is a dark purple color. I asked myself if I could live with it if it actually turned my hair purple, decided I could, and lathered up. The shampoo did an excellent job of creating a strong lather, and my hair felt really clean when I rinsed it out. The shampoo has a soft floral fragrance that is very pleasant. I took a quick look in the mirror to see if my hair was purple, and it wasn't, so I then squirted out some conditioner into my hand. It was purple, too, although thicker and lighter in color than the shampoo. As I rubbed the conditioner into my hair, the wonderful floral scent of the conditioner filled my shower--what a delightful sensory treat! I checked my hair again when I got out of the shower and dried off--still no purple hair, thank goodness. However, when I squirted some shampoo into my hand to take a photo, there was a big purple stain on my hand when I washed the shampoo off. I squirted the conditioner in a different spot on my hand for that photo, and it did the same thing. I've washed my hands several times since then, and the purple stains are still there. So...even though the product information online says it works fine with gray and white hair, I look down at my purple stains on my hand and I have to wonder. Since I love the smell of this shampoo and conditioner and how incredibly soft it leaves my hair, I'm going to continue using it. If it turns my hair purple at some point in the future, I'll do an update and give everyone fair warning.


title: Not at $34 a pop

text: I've got a bad back and regularly do Epsom salt soaks in very warm to hot water.  I usually pay about $5 for a bag of Epsom salt that's good for 4-5 baths.  That's about $1 per soak.  The Pursoma Digital Detox Bath Soak did about as much to relax me and relief pain as the Epsom salt and with the Epsom salt I don't have to shower to remove the "mud" and rinse out the mud/dirt from the tub after using it.  I suspect more of the relaxation comes from the hot water and length of time a person soaks as it does from any additive put in the water.  With the Epsom salt baths I can also add in a bath bomb for a couple bucks more and enjoy the aroma and moisturizing effects of the bomb.  I'll stick with my routine.


title: IMHO Not Fragrant and They're Tiny

text: The pictures of these "petal balls" on the web page are bigger than the actual balls.  I was kind of expecting the opposite.  I followed the directions and put one of the balls in a dish and poured boiling water over it.  It was kind of fun to watch it re-hydrate but that was about the end of the enjoyment.  The "fragrance" given off by these petal balls was akin to a weak tea although I surely wouldn't drink it.  As for putting one in a tub, I suspect the "bloom" would clog up the drain and just create a mess.  Plus I don't want to take a bath in a pot of tea.  I'll have to pass on this one.


title: Cleared-Up Nasal Congestion But Only Temporarily

text: Nasal congestion has been part of my life for the past 40 years or so.  Hate to say it but nasal sprays have been the one and only thing that tends to relieve the congestion.  Usually once a day before bedtime.  Ordered this product to give it a shot.  I followed the instructions and added the product (actually two products) to a hot bath and hopped in.  Sat soaking for about 15 minutes with no relief.  Then I put a muslin washcloth over my face and started pouring hot bath water over it.  After about five minutes of deep breathing (in through the nose, out through the mouth) the nasal congestion started breaking up somewhat.  Didn't completely break up but got better.  Drained the tub (tons of sandy debris left) and took a hot shower to rinse the clay, etc, off.  That's when the congestion broke loose.  I was able to blow my nose and breath through my nose with very little to no congestion.  Unfortunately the relief didn't last all that long, probably about three hours.  At 36 bucks a pop, that's 12 dollars per hour for three hours relief.  Pass, I can buy a lot of nasal spray for $36.


title: Passed the "Grab a Hair" Test

text: Very nice set of tweezers along with an exceptionally sharp small pair of scissors.  The case looks good and is secured by a snap connector.  There are individual slide-in holders for each pair of tweezers and the scissors.  There isn't a slot for the brush but I just put it in with one of the tweezers.  The quality of the tweezers is outstanding.  They appear to be very well machined and they passed my "grab a hair" test.  What I do is try to grad a single fine hair off of my arm.  If the tweezers get it in one try and can hold on to it to pull it out, they pass.  Each pair of tweezers passed the test.  Another thing I like is that this set doesn't have a bunch of needless junk in it that just takes up room.  This set can fit in my shaving kit without taking up extra space.  Highly recommend.


title: Work Great, Nice that They're Two-Sided

text: Four Pack should last a good long time.  I've been using one for a couple of weeks and it doesn't show any signs of wear.  The aggressive side is not so aggressive as to tear up the skin - I've had some in the past that did. Ouch!  The smooth side is great for a final smoothing.  I've included a photo showing the exact size of the pads.  One slight negative, and I don't know whose fault it was, but one of the pads arrived broken.  Looked like it could have been packaged better.  Despite that, highly recommended.


title: Good, Not Best

text: I have some other nail files that are very similar but are a bit stiffer and seem to last longer.  After one use I can see wear on these files whereas I can't see it on my other files.  And although they have the same grit they don't seem to cut as aggressively.  They're good but not the best.  Recommended for the price.


title: Nice Set, Great Gift

text: All around a very nice set, especially for the price.  I've paid a lot more for a lot less.  The bombs themselves are very nice. Very good aroma and they actually do moisturize as opposed to most others.  The ones I've used so far colored the bath water.  Not a problem as it didn't cause any "rings" on the tub and I came out with skin the same color as when I went in, minus some dirt.  I'll be buying some as Christmas gifts.  Recipients will think I spent a lot more that I actually did!.  Highly recommended.


title: Good for Medium to Short Length Man's Hair

text: I'm male with relatively short, somewhat thinning hair.  The brush works great for me.  The bristles are relatively soft and flexible so it doesn't feel like I'm trying to tear my scalp off. Comb is too stiff but I can see where someone else might like it.  Now the fun part.  I didn't know what that little metal-tined thing (photo 2) was for.  I figured it was a mustache comb and I have a mustache so I gave it a try.  Worked great!  The little tines penetrated the mustache hairs and felt great on the underlying skin.  Kinda like an exfoliater!  I loved it.  Couldn't find a description of it on the product's page so I reviewed a couple of similar products and discovered that it's actually for cleaning the brush.  Not for me - I'm using it on my mustache.  Nice product and seems to be high quality. Highly recommend.


title: Yes, I am an actual customer 😁

text:
I carefully read all the reviews and went on Youtube for more. I had read some of the bad reviews which incinuated that people, other than customers, must be writing the good reviews. Seeing some reviews on Youtube convinced me to go ahead and purchase this silk closure.
  I am happily surprised. I really love this closure.The hair is soft and shiny. The silk base is tan enough that it matches my scalp and looks natural. The hair is really nice.
  Prior to buying this closure, I had one (I bought elsewhere) that eventually got huge bald spots. The hair fell out quickly. This time I will buy a product (I have been reading up on) called “Top-loc Knot Sealer”
  One thing I am a little disappointed about is that the front and sides of the closure is pretty dense with hair, but the back (crown) did not have as much hair.
  Other than that, I will definately buy from this company again. 😁


title: Nice.

text: I bought these to use on hand made dolls that have eye lids.  I can use one lash per doll they work great. And will go a long way.


title: The perfect oil blend

text: Lovely scent and great conaistemcy.


title: I really love these! They leave my skin feeling soft as ...

text: I really love these! They leave my skin feeling soft as ever. I wish I had found  them sooner.


title: Five Stars

text: Very practical and easy to use. The curl is very light


title: I like these the best of the different extenders I've tried

text:
I was getting tired of mask bands making my ears stick out and dig into my ears, so I decided to try mask extenders.  I tried three different kinds, all of which allow you to use different slots or nubs to adjust the effective length of the extender.

Of the three extenders I tried, I thought this “wing” type would be my least favorite, but it turned out to be my #1.  It’s not pretty, but it works the best, when compared to the types that have you put the elastic around round nubs and to the manually adjustable extender I tried.

I prefer to wear the extender high up on the back of my head.  This seems to be the best position for me to keep my mask in place and against my face all around.  Because this extender is silicone, it doesn’t just slide down.  There’s enough “stickiness” that it stays put.  (I don’t mean it’s literally sticky, though.)  The wings are big enough that once you loop your elastic around your choice of wing, it stays put.  I can pop my mask on and off easily, and nearly all the time the elastic stays attached to the wings I’ve picked.


title: A good idea, but has design flaw

text:
I really wanted to love this.  It seemed like the perfect alternative to my aging WaterPik brand water flosser.  It's smaller, light weight and doesn't have a huge tank and curly hose like the Water Pick.  BUT,
it is a poor substitute.  First the water tank is pretty small and I usually run out of water before I'm done.
The tank has a design flaw.  There is a curved hose that is inside the tank that delivers water to the head.  If you don't hold the flosser in the right position, the hose is out of the water and doesn't work.  I can turn the head, but I have to turn off the flosser to do that.
It makes a loud noise, especially when the water gets low, that is irritating to me.  The Water Pick makes a noise too, but this is louder and more shrill.
This set included little plastic tips that go on the end of the flosser head, but it constantly falsl off and tries to go down the drain so I just leave it off.
It comes with several replacement heads.  That's good.  It has two settings.  One is pretty hard the other is very gentle.  You have to push the on button quickly after it starts to get to the gentle setting which is not as easy as it sounds when you are squirting water in your mouth and trying not to make a mess.
It's not perfect. It may be okay for travel, but I guess I'll keep my WaterPik until it dies completely (it's 10 years old) and then get another WaterPik. In the meantime I'll keep trying to like this one.


title: Great value for the money.

text: I love using a loofah, but they don't last forever and they can get expensive.  I use them for the shower and GENTLY on my face. These are large enough to cut into pieces to make them last longer. They are not overly rough.  I love that they are organic.  I certainly don't won't pesticides on my skin. They come in a zippered plastic bag for easy storage. Not crazy about the plastic bag, but I guess they have to be protected during shipping. I like to change my shower loofah at least once a month and my face loofah more frequently. I think these are a good value for the money.


title: Classic switch comb

text:
I just ordered and will update when I receive. A good value for a novelty theme comb. The Fonz had one, on Happy Days. I lose comes and rarely have the same combination by end of the week.  Maybe these will get me to hang on longer.  I'm cursed with cowlicks, and fine hair, so need narrow toothed combs. This looks like it would work.
I would prefer plastic as metal tends to be sharp on thr scalp.
12/30/22
Just received. Lightweight plastic. Not sure the lasting gravity, but is nice that comb itself is plastic not metal. Metal tends to be hard on the scalp.

Value for money is good as there are 4 switch-combs. Can keep 1 in car, office, gym bag and home and carry
Always a way to style before a meeting. After work date, whenever  grooming necessity is called


title: Travel toiletry bottles

text: Shatter proof. Great for weekend getaways or even home use so don't have to clutter shower with full size shampoos or body wash


title: Plastic is plastic

text:
Not sure about sturdiness, or even to take this seriously. You have to slide blade in, there is no lift up piece that holds blade. Unless a tool, but your fingers are in for some slices.

Also as stated is plastic. This is something I ng where your choice of blade is gonna matter and this merely holds. Save your money or spend it on shave soap. Even to the beginner, this would seem like a toy.
BUT, GREAT for travel. Dont worry about leaving a good razor at hotel.
You can still have your shave and and not worry about being left behind.


title: Travel shave brush with travel pouch

text: Don’t know why portable shave brushes gave to be so expensive. Though looking at prices if silver tipped badger brushes this is priced pretty reasonable, and a nice leather case. The safety razor I bought to go with it, fits nicely in the soace provided. Bristles are soft. This would be a nice gift for anyone who shaves and you’re at a loss what to get.


title: Denture tooth paste

text: This is my first  dentures . Dentist didn't give me much instructions. This is a  long standing product so can only imagine good review.


title: Buffalo horn comb

text:
A natural, ( non synthetic ) comb, cuts the static cling of dry hair. Helps return hair to luster, and repairs splits ends.

I can only hope the buffalo horn that was used was horn left after carcass was used, or that horn is found.

I'd hate to think they were killing buffalos just for the horns.


title: Great brush!

text: I hate blow drying my hair. I wish this brush magically made me enjoy it, but alas, I will forever hate it. However, I do love the results that I get with this brush. My hair dries smooth and the brush is easy to hold and use. It’s lightweight which makes it comfortable to use, but the product is high quality. After several weeks of use there are no signs of use in the brush.<br />I love this brand and this brush is no exception!


title: Polish remover

text: I don’t really know what to say about nail polish remover. The bottle is very big and removed my nail polish as expected.


title: Love the spray bottle!

text: I’m working hard to create less garbage and to purchase fewer single use items - I love that the spray pump means no single use cotton pads! There is a lovely floral scent (the rose and orange blossom come through the strongest) but it is not overpowering and does not trigger my headaches.<br />My skin feels nice after using it, not tight or stingy. It’s a great product and I plan to repurchase.


title: Looks great and works well!

text:
I have a very eclectic look in my house and I like the style of this!
-The white part is not plastic. It’s heavy and solid. I’m not sure if it’s breakable as I don’t want to find out.
-There is a “max fill” sticker inside which is visible through the slits. It cannot be removed. I remedied this by spinning it to the back, but the button for the lights and power are now in the back. Not a big deal to me, but I try to give as much info as I can.
-Also, the fill tank is attached to the unit base and not removable like some other brands. It must be unplugged to be refilled, again, not a big deal.
-The lights can change colors, be set to one, or turned off by pressing the light button (on the left)
- it’s a smaller tank. I used 3 drops of eo and felt it worked well.
-along with vacuuming and carpet shampooing, I have found this to be the best way to keep dog smell from being too overpowering in my house.
-I keep hearing a little bubbling sound coming from it. It’s extremely soothing like listening to a river almost.
-Nice unit, works well. No complaints, but I will update if further use shows any problems.


title: Great purchase..

text: Purchased these to use on my natural hair.  It can be a challenge separating my hair to braid or condition.  These are the perfect size and quite durable.  I like the colors as they are easy to find when needed.  A happy customer that will purchase again.


title: Nice Smell

text: Great!


title: Great price

text: Look and good


title: Looks were deceiving for me.

text: The size of the clips was what I was looking for. However, I have fine hair so the clips don't always stay in place. For this reason alone, I wouldn't recommend these Butterfly Clamps. However, if your hair is heavier, then I think you'd be pleased with this purchase. You get enough clamps and price is right.


title: This is a MUST have in our house!

text: We absolutely love this! It works incredibly and smells amazing. It is easy for kids to use the pump and has made brushing their hair so much easier!


title: comfy, lots of serum

text: We like them! Plenty of serum; you can use twice if you're careful!


title: Very nice headband. Great for an inexpensive headpiece!

text:
This is a nice headband!
I like that the pearls are sewn in, this will definitely keep the pearls on the headband and lengthen durability.
The headband is comfortable to wear. I like that it doesn't widen too much and has a snugger fit. This is good for me since often headbands slide off my head. Lol!
This is good for an outing or an inexpensive bridal headpiece, just by adding a comb veil.
Overall, this headband is good quality and well crafted for the price. So at 9.99, I think this headband is priced accordingly.


title: Straightens hair but not sleek (flat-iron) straight.

text:
This straightener is practical and easy to use.
I have long wavy/curly hair and this brushes away the curls/waves.
It does not give me the sleek straight look that a flat iron gives but it does straighten my hair out.
This works great for certain looks and it's definitely great to retouch after flat iron straightening.
When I ordered this, this styler was $123 which I thought to be a little high in price.
At the time of this review, it is priced at 89.95 which is a bit more appealing.


title: don't care for the smell, won't use it

text:
Absorbs quickly and does not leave skin oily.
It moisturizes my skin and leaves it soft.
The only issue that I have is the scent, I don't really care for it.  When I have used this on my face, the smell lingers. For this reason, I don't use the product. My mother does not find the scent bothersome so I guess it's just a matter of taste.
I myself would not reorder because I won't use something if I don't like the smell despite the results.


title: Love the color. Long-Lasting. Need one coat.

text:
I like this Rose Pose liquid lip color. It is a light rosy tan metallic shade.
It is long-lasting and I did a paper test soon after applying it and it did not stain the paper, at all.
I really like that a little goes a long way. I only need to apply one light coat to give me the shade I want.
Overall, I really like this lip color. I like the fun packaging and the whole bakery theme.


title: two for five is a great investment for my razor

text: Glad that extra cartridges for Bladelife razor holder are available to order.<br />At $5 for 2 cartridges, in my opinion, this is a good investment to extend the life of my razor blades.


title: matte finish, perfect tangerine shade, long-wear

text:
I love the color!!  It is definitely a long-wear lipstick.
I love orange/tangerine shades but they are difficult to find so when I saw this shade I had to order it in hopes that it was the color I was looking for.... it was.
The color is like a tangerine color, mostly orange but with a bit of red.
The liquid lipstick dries quick to matte finish.
It is long-wear and agree that is kiss proof, peck kiss proof.
It will stay on if I am drinking something or even eating, but if wipe my mouth with a napkin it will come off.  So a touch up after eating may be necessary. I don't need to use an oil or makeup remover to remove the lipstick, which is what I like.
Overall, I am really happy with this liquid lipstick. It is the perfect shade with the perfect matte finish and the right amount of long-wear!
Definitely will be re-ordering.


title: nice, comfortable wig

text:
nice wig, color has brown undertones so it's a darker blonde color
soft and manageable hair
fits comfortably
just a bit high in price compared to similar styles


title: easily wipes off, 2+ coats needed

text:
The liquid lipsticks do not go on thick.
It goes on thin and a couple of coats are needed to keep it from being sheer.
It has a faint chocolate scent, in my opinion.
It will easily wipe off.  It is not long-wear or smudge-proof in my opinion. I will come off while drinking or eating something.
The lipstick did not dry my lips.


title: Cleaner teeth/mouth. Charge/battery is long-lasting.

text:
This flosser leaves my teeth/mouth feeling so clean.
After brushing I thought my mouth was clean but then I used this water flosser and my mouth and teeth felt truly clean. I could definitely tell the difference.
The stream jetting out is pretty strong.
It comes with different jet tips in a case to keep them together.
The battery lasts a long time.


title: nice colors, not hard to open

text:
Very nice set of claw hair clips.
I really like the color options.
Ten of the claw clips are matte colors, one is clear and the other is a frost white.
The claws are not tight so it does not take a lot of force to open them. I mention this because my mom who has arthritis has a difficult time with tight hair clips/claws.
I have long hair (to my lower back) and these held my hair fairly well.
They come in organized in a box making them a nice gift set.
Overall these are good hair clips and in my opinion, for the quantity and quality, they are priced accordingly.


title: lightweight, good on my acne-prone skin

text:
Feels nice and lightweight on my skin.
It does not leave my face looking powdery.
I have sensitive, acne-prone skin and this does not make me break out.
At thirty dollars I do think it's a bit high in price, especially when the same product in a different shade is half the price.


title: Not for me. Hair felt like it has a film over it.

text:
This avocado nourishing scalp hair mask seems to work but is not for me.
The smell is very nice. I did not expect it to smell like bananas but it does have a significant banana scent, which I liked.
I used this after shampooing and left it on my hair for 5 minutes as suggested. I did not use conditioner.
My hair felt soft while on my hair and after rinsing, Once I was air drying my hair, my hair was not as soft.
It was manageable but it had some elasticity which i did not like.
Once fully dried my hair felt like it had a film over it.
it did help with fly aways and frizzyness.
I had to use a significant amount because of my long hair, so I do not expect this to last long/ many uses, thus I consider the price a bit high.
I will continue to use it a couple of times and if there is a positive change, I will update.
Yet as of now, after this bottle/tube, this will not be a hair product I will continue to use.


title: work well but not the right style

text:
These work well.
I went through a couple of eyebrow tattoos prior to getting it positioned right on my mom's eyebrows.
The film is a bit noticeable so I tried to cut close to the tattoo to keep it from being too noticeable.
My mom did not like them because they were very dark on her skin and they were too arched and long from her natural look.
They work well for temporary use but I have to look for different lighter styles.
They are fairly easy to remove just like regular temporary tattoos.


title: Great coverage for acne scared skin!

text:
I love this Phoera foundation and the BB cream works well with the foundation.
This foundation provides great coverage. I have acne-prone skin and have uneven tones, dark spots , and acne scars and this foundation does a great job in covering all the imperfections. A pea-size amount covers most of my face so a little goes a long way.  I don't like thick layers of make-up, since it clogs my pores up, so I usually just wear one coat and one coat of this foundation provides great coverage. The BB cream has a thin consistency and does good in blending tones, but not the dark spots (which I expected because of the consistency).  I have been wearing this foundation for about 2 weeks (off & on) and it does not cause ( additional) break-outs.
The primer works well and I like the brush, but the best part of this set (for me)  is the foundation.


title: Great coverage on my acne scarred skin

text:
The foundation provides great coverage.
I have acne-prone skin and have dark spots, uneven tones, and acne scars and this foundation does a great job in covering all the imperfections.
Another thing that I like is that a little goes a long way. A pea-size amount covers most of my face. I don't like thick layers of make-up, since it clogs my pores up, so I usually just wear one coat and one coat of this foundation provides great coverage.
I have been wearing this foundation for about 2 weeks (off & on) and it does not cause break-outs.
I hope they continue selling this because I have found my foundation.
Love the bag and the primer, the sponges not so much.


title: too complex, may need 2 people & need the right length...

text:
This did not work for me.
I have long hair and the way it's meant to be used (according to listing instructions) it is impossible for me to use it.  My hair sits below my bra line and I can't lower the bun shaper that far down. Perhaps two people are needed for long hair.
I tried it on my mom's very short hair and it seems you have to twist in opposite directions (as pictured/in the video) to lock the hair in place. I was able to roll it up and create a bun, but it was really tight at the base and I have to roll it enough to secure the top hair. She tried it on her own and was not able to do it on her own on her shoulder-length hair.
I give it three stars because you can create a bun, but it is too difficult, the hair needs to be the right length and two people may be needed, which is not practical.


title: Nice colors. Not creamy. Not long lasting.

text:
Nice colors
Lip pencils were a bit on the dryer side, not a creamy liner.
The color came off like normal wear liners so I would not consider these long lasting.
I was expecting long lasting lip liners and they are regular lip liners.
I think they are a great price for the set, and if I were expecting regular lip liners I probably would have given them 5 stars.


title: Several pieces fell off. Defective/Damaged. :(

text:
I was looking forward to receiving this headband since, in my opinion, it's very pretty.
Unfortunately, it arrived with two decorative pieces completely off, glue and decoration, and another piece fell off as I was handling it.
The glue completely fell off of the headband. I figured I could glue it back, (which I shouldn't have to), but one of the flowers has a large purple rhinestone missing that is not in the plastic package nor the shipping box it came in.
When I inspected the rest of the pieces I notice that another flower is becoming unattached and barely hanging on.
The glue that is used dries a dark yellow which does not look good, in my opinion, and is very visible because they add a big blob of glue.
The headband itself looks nice and of decent quality. I think they (designer/seller) have the right idea they just have to attach the pieces in a more secure way, making sure the rhinestones are in place as well as packaging them in something that will protect the headband like a box, instead of a thin plastic bags.
The package includes a nice decorative hairpin with a nice thank you note and origami heart...sadly it is the only nice thing about ordering this headband.


title: lightweight, blends well on my yellow undertone skin

text:
Love this product.
Great on my dry acne-prone skin.
It feels lightweight and blends well on my yellow undertoned skin.
A little goes a long way so that helps with the (high) price and time between reordering, which I plan to do when I go through this container.


title: Great scent!! Works very well on my dry hair.

text:
I absolutely enjoy the scent of this John Frieda Shampoo & Conditioner. It smells clean, fresh, and sweet.
It leaves my hair feeling clean, without residue, and very soft and manageable.
I live in a very dry area and my hair lacks moisture and looks very frizzy. This definitely helps with the dryness and frizziness.
I really like what it does to my hair but the scent is definitely my favorite.
The set is a little high in price but it works very well and makes ups for the price tag.


title: keeps my makeup from defining my wrinkles

text:
This is a nice small set, perfect for travel or just to try it out.
I just recently started using a Touch in Sol primer and I really liked it, so I decided to try these out.
Just like the other primer, these worked great on my skin. It went on smooth and absorbed quickly.
Not a lot is needed so a little will go a long way.
These helped with the appearance of my makeup. I had started noticing that my makeup was defining my wrinkles and damaged/large pores and making them more noticeable. The Touch in Sol primers has definitely improved how my makeup looks.


title: colors as described, longer curing time but no stickiness when dry

text:
I like the colors of this set. They are just as described/pictured.
I did a quick manicure for the purpose of trying the gel polishes out and they really worked well.
They took about 90 secs to cure under the UV light for each coat (base, color, top) but at the end, they were completely dry without any stickiness or the need to wipe them.
They have a resin odor to them but it is not overly strong.
Overall, this is a nice set.


title: great for resin projects

text:
I like this UV Led light.
I do not use this for nails, but for resin art projects.
It is large enough to fit large silicone molds in UV light.
I really like the light does not have to sit on a table to turn on, or by motion (which is an option). I can hold it up, set the seconds, and direct it towards my resin mold. This comes in handy for larger resin molds.


title: several layers needed, easily wipes off

text:
These are nice colors but several layers are required to achieve the color of the eyeshadow stick.
Once on the color does not last very long.
I spread the eyeshadow with my finger and I end up completely removing it from my eye.
That being said, the eyeshadow easily wipes off.
I like the color options but I think I would rather have them in powder form.


title: fast drying, great for face washing and removing makeup

text:
These pads/gloves really come in handy for removing makeup and/or face washing. I really like that they come with their bag and are washable. I hang them up after use and they dry very quickly. After a couple of uses, I gather them up and wash them in their little bag.
The pads are thin and do not hold a lot of liquid which I like.
These pads are a good size for the face and neck.
The gloves are easier to use for face washing since they are a little bigger.


title: nice and elegant with all the rhinestones in place

text:
This headband is really nice, elegant, and comfortable.
It is thick and does not slide back like some of my other headbands. It does not hurt the back of my ears.
This is actually the third black rhinestone headband that I have ordered, but I have had issues with others having the rhinestones falling off and/or the rhinestone strands peeling off.
I am happy to say that all the rhinestones and rhinestone strands were in place.


title: Nice, elegant and comfortable

text:
These headbands are really nice.
They are headbands wrapped in a velvet type fabric.
The faux pearl appears to be properly secured to the headband. They did not appear loose in any way.
They are very comfortable and actually stay on my oval-shaped head, which causes my headbands to slide back. I did not have that issue with these. They stayed put!
The only thing that concerns me is the end of the wrapped fabric. I hope it holds long enough for many uses and does not unravel.
Other than that they are very pretty and at less than five dollars a piece I think these are priced accordingly for the style and quality.


title: sparkly, some wider than others

text:
These headbands are really nice. The crystals are very pretty and sparkle nicely. They appear to well attached to the headband.
I did notice that some of the ends of the headbands were a bit sticky as if the felt was not properly wrapped.
Some of the headbands are wider. I don't know if this is because of how they were packaged, (which was a very secure packaging), that caused some of them to widen.  This is a problem for me beauty I already have issues with headbands sliding back with my egg/oval-shaped head, so a wide headband will most certainly slide off.
Aside from these two minor issues, the headbands are great. At less than two dollars a piece I think for the style and quantity these headbands are priced accordingly.


title: tinted lip gloss

text:
These lipsticks are pretty cool. They are black but the colors are shades of red.
They have a cherry smell to them.
It is creamy but like a lip gloss. These are mostly shaded lip glosses and not a matte color lipstick.
I like that the lips stay tinted pink when wiped off.
They did not leave my lips dry.
I am wearing #12 in the picture.


title: Faded matte style, ordered Maple Road

text: I like this lipstick. It is creamy and does not leave my lips dry.<br />I ordered Maple Road and I like the color; the description appears to be pretty accurate. Comparing my picture to the one on the listing, I think it is close to the "one coat" shade. It has like a faded look to it, hence the matte style. I do think it's closest to a red-orange with a brown tint to it as opposed to a red tint. I wore it for about eight hours and it lasted the entire time. I like this lipstick and I would like to order Chilly Jilly but I think the price is on the high side for this lipstick, so I will probably pass on it.


title: Elegant! Can wear it as headpiece too!

text:
This is such a pretty headband. It is very sparkly and elegant.
It is also comfortable to wear. Other headbands tend to hurt me behind the ear but this one has not done that. This could be because of the velvety fabric.
I like that it can be worn as a headband but also like a headpiece/tiara if you wear it slightly tilted. I will definitely be using this on the next military ball, whenever they start back up again.
The headband is plush and thick. It is covered and a velvet type fabric and is decorated with rhinestone strands/chains.
I do suggest to be careful when putting on or taking off since it could pull your hair, so don't remove too quickly.
For the quality, I think the headband is well priced.


title: Beautiful and comfortable headbands!!

text:
These headbands are beautiful. They are both plush and wrapped in velvet fabric and decorated with lots and lots of rhinestones, specifically rhinestones strands/chains attached to the headband.
The headband is comfortable to wear. I have worn them and I am happy to say they don't slip/slide back as I have experienced with others.
The headband is about 3/4 of an inch high or thick. I found that I could wear them as regular headbands or wear them tilted, almost like a tiara, with a hairstyle that can hold them in place.  Since it does have rhinestone chains be careful when putting on or taking off since hair will get caught and pull it.
I had an issue with one of the headbands (small rhinestones) coming undone. When I received it two of the strands were unattached. I contacted the seller and they quickly helped to solve the issue.


title: Elegant! Comfortable.

text:
This is such a pretty headband. It is a plush velvet headband decorated with strands of champagne/rose gold colored rhinestones. It is comfortable to wear and can be worn as a headband or sitting on top of the head as a headpiece.  I like that it is heavier than the usual headband because when I wear headbands they tend to slide back and fall off, perhaps due to my oval-shaped head. When wearing this headband it stayed in place.
Since it is rhinestone chains/strands on the headband, when I slide it on it tends to pull my hair. So I have to be careful when putting it on by tying my hair back or wearing it when I slick my hair back, so I won't pull my hair.
When I received it did notice that there were three strands that had come undone and others seemed like they were loose.  I contacted the seller and they helped resolve the issue.


title: Nice for the price

text:
This tiara is nice and vintage looking. It is lightweight but heavy enough to sit well on a hairdo or head.
Closeup, the tiara looks messy.  The rhinestones are glued on a bit of centered and the adhesive is visible also, the larger rhinestones are scratched.
From a distance, the tiara looks great but at close range, you can definitely tell the quality is not the greatest.
It has two pin loops to secure.
I think the tiara is nice and it adequately priced for the quality. I do think that if the rhinestones were added with a little bit more precision then it will be all the better.


title: Sturdy!

text: Great tweezers!!<br />Sturdy set!!


title: Big and thick with little sponge hearts!!!

text: These are great!! They are big and thick with little sponge hearts in them... which is cute and an added plus!  I also received outstanding customer service!  So happy with it that I bout a second one!


title: I can use this even with my sensitive eyes and allergies.

text: I have sensitive skin and eyes.  Without the right mascara my eyes itch and my eyelids get a reaction.  I've wanted to get a lash growth serum but was reluctant because of my eye allergies.  This does not cause any reactions. I put it on both top and bottom eyelashes with no issues. I have only used it for a few days so I can't say if it works, yet.  I've taken before pics and even though it states to use it for a 30 day period I will post and update after two weeks to see the progress.


title: Save your money

text: Save your money and use a belt from your robe. Or 2 socks tied together will give you better and long lasting curls


title: Love the color

text: To wear out the length is just right and the color is great


title: Wow

text: Old Norelco broke down after 10 ten years. 7180XL is much lighter and smoother shave. It is stylish and easy to handle.


title: Buy these!! Good quality at a low cost!

text: I’m a male growing my hair out to donate it so didn’t know the struggle was real with longer hair! Girls, you have my sympathy with the “should I put it up” dilemma!! These things are great! I have hen lying around EVERYWHERE lol and they aren’t cheaply made and take a beating...err stretching


title: Awesome!

text: I lost the diffuser end of my old me, and since it was like 10 years old I thought I was due for an update. Love this thing! I like to use no heat for most of the drying and then a low heat to finish and hate having to hold the button because sometimes you have to hold the dryer in a writes position...not with this! You can set it to low and adjust the fan speed! Its isn't as loud as most of the dryers I've used either, still kind of loud but this is an improvement. I would recommend this


title: A very good face product!

text: Am in process of trying out some new "pore reducing" products and am really enjoying this product. I have actually, probably like most people, gone through mountains of facial soaps and scrubs to try and finding that is amazing. I have been using this as a soap and Kyoku serum and have been getting numerous compliments on how well my skin has been looking.<br />It is a low sudsing cleanser that has a very strong peppermint-like tingle that my husband and I both love! This might be an awkward point to make but I also like it because it tastes good, not that I eat it but there are times when I'm in a hurry and don't "splash" enough on my face and there is a bit left on my face and the dripping water sneaks into your mouth...am I the only one this happens too 😒 but it doesn't taste like chemicals so I feel a little better about using this versus some other brands.


title: Not enough patches in pack to really end up getting results with dark spot

text:
First, I have to say These do NOT technically pierce the skin, though some brands will say they do. I saw some reviews mentioning how they puncture the skin, which will stimulate collagen and help further absorption. That does NOT happen with microneedle patches. It occurs with microneedling (or dermarolling/stamps) when you actually pierce into the skin with a micro needle pen/dermaroller/derma stamp. And, even then, Collagen is only stimulated when the needle is long enough (0.5mm length needles are needed to even get a mild effect of stimulating collagen). With these microneedle patches, the skin benefiting ingredients have been crystallized to form little sharp crystals that are no bigger than 250 microns, which is about a third of the width of a human hair. So, pretty small (250 microns equals 0.25 mm). They simply dissolve into the skin. The main difference between microneedling (dermarolling) and microneedle patches is they don’t actually prick the skin and cause injury. They don’t cause trauma to the skin. Instead, the crystals simply dissolve into the skin. (And this info is from the brand’s website). So, these patches have crystals made up of active ingredients that gently press into the skin and then are the water in the skin activates them to dissolve.

Someone else also said these have retinol in them, which isn’t the case. I put the full ingredient list at the end of my review.

I love microneedle and hydrocolloid patches. I have some post acne marks. I don’t know what it is but pimples and post acne marks just never want to go away on me! I get hormonal breakouts. So, right around that time I get a pimple or 2. I start treating them as soon as I notice them appearing. But, they still usually end up getting bad and taking a week or 2 to go away! By time I get the darn things to go away, it’s time for more! It’s a very frustrating process. From my time before using pimple patches, I have some scars. And, after the pimples finally do resolve, I sometimes end up with a red mark there. So, I saw these and was really intrigued to give them a try! I figured they had a good shot of working because my scars aren’t large or big scars. They’re just little marks, some slightly indented. Most are just dark red, flat marks. But, they’re a pain to cover with makeup! Makeup never wants to stay on them well! I have a skin care regimen I use and some products are specifically for dark spots/post acne marks, but I figured these patches would be more targeted!

I also have sun spots on my temples and cheekbones. Though, they aren’t specific spots, more like a line of spots, so I wasn’t sure these patches would be the best option for those.

These have 500 “serum-infused MicroCrystals” that “deliver a concentrated formula of tranexamic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C, and glutathione.” These were “developed using a mixture of regenerative ingredients renowned for their skin-rejuvenating properties. Restore skin texture, brighten skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots in a matter of weeks.”

If you’re interested in some info on the ingredients, I included some at the end of my review (full list of ingredients marked with 🟢 and info on specific ingredients marked with 🔴)

The patches are nice. They’re decent sizes. Depending on the size of the spot you’re trying to treat, they might be too big, might not be big enough, or might be just right. They MIGHT be able to be cut down if you needed a smaller size. But, I personally wouldn’t want to cut them - I don’t know how they would effect the microcrystals, plus I don’t want to risk contaminating them. It would be nice if they included some smaller ones, or even better would be an option to buy a pack of this size or a pack of smaller ones, depending on the size of the areas you want to treat.

I found these to stick really well IF you’re applying them to clean, dry skin. If the skin is even a TINY bit damp (you applied moisturizer and some got in the area or you accidentally touched the area with your finger before applying the patch), then it might not stick well and end up falling off easily. But, if you make sure the skin is clean and completely dry before applying the patch, they stick GREAT! Stick them on, press the center for a few seconds, and you feel a little kind of poke, but nothing that hurts. After the initial poke, you don’t feel them. I forget I even have the patch on!

Directions say to leave on for AT LEAST 2 hours, but IDEALLY overnight to give the micro crystals time to fully dissolve and release the actives into the skin. Use 2-3 times a week. It says to expect results from 2 weeks for blemishes and 6-8 weeks for dark spots. Continue use until desired result is an achieved. To avoid risk of sensitivity, do not use more than 3 times per week or within 24 hours of previous application

Here’s the problem. You need to use these consistently for a little while (how long would depend on how dark the mark is and your skin) to see results. There’s only 12 patches in a pack! You use 2-3 patches a week for ONE spot, which means a pack will last 4-6 weeks. If you’re trying to fade a blemish, since it says you could expect results in 2 weeks then you have a good chance of seeing results. BUT if you’re trying to fade a dark spot, it says that takes 6-8 weeks so you MIGHT start seeing results by time you finish the pack, but you might not. If the dark spot is extremely dark, it’s going to take even longer I’m sure. They really should offer a larger size pack so you can purchase 1 pack to have enough to heal at least 1 spot. Not to mention the fact, we’re only talking about 1 spot! If you have multiple spots, then you’re really going to run out of patches quickly! If using this for blemishes, you could get a few patches for a few blemishes. But for dark spots, the pack of 12 is most likely going to go all to treating one single dark spot, and even then you might not actually see results. At a price of $34.95 for a pack of 12 (at the time of writing this review), that’s $2.91 per patch, which is pretty darn pricey!

On top of the fact you need to use multiple patches to fade 1 spot, the fact is when using lightening ingredients like niacinamide, tranexamic acid, Kojic acid, etc., these ingredients lighten the skin by suppressing the production of pigment  in the skin cells and will unfortunately only help as long as you are using them. So, you would need to use the ingredients continuously.

I did notice a slight difference using a few patches on a post acne mark. I also wanted to test out these patches on a dark spot and didn’t notice any different with that but after using a few on a post acne mark, I didn’t have enough to use them 2-3 times a week on the spot for the full 6-8 weeks they say it takes to get results so I wasn’t surprised.

Unfortunately, given the fact that you’re only getting 12 patches for $34.95 and you need multiple patches for 1 spot AND need to continue using it to keep the spot away once you get rid of it, I don’t think these patches are worth it. I feel you’re better off getting a bottle of serum or cream with these ingredients in it (preferably one that uses them as ACTIVE ingredients and states the specific percentages of each ingredient so you know it’s enough to actually be effective). I think it would be a more effective way to fade dark spots and keep them away AND give you more bang for your buck. So, I don’t really recommend these. They COULD be effective if you had enough of them and were willing to fork over the $34.95 each time to continue buying them. Whether that’s worth it to you is for you to decide. For me, I think I’ll stick to serums.

As a side note, I did try out some other dark spot microneedle patches-[[ASIN:B09C15YNVL Rael Microcrystal Dark Spot Patch]]and for those you got 6 patches for $11.99 (so for 12 it would be $23.98, which is cheaper than the $34.95 these cost). Those also use microcrystals to dissolve and release skin brightening ingredients below the surface, which include niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and broccoli extract. (I included the full ingredient list of the Rael Patches at the very end, marked with 🟣)

Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin, Trehalose, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Tranexamic Acid, Niacinamide, Glutathione, Madecassoside, Polyglyceryl-10-Laurate, Linolenic acid

🔴SPECIFIC INFO ON THE INGREDIENTS:
Sodium Hyaluronate - Form of hyaluronic acid. Helps skin hold onto water, making skin more plump and elastic.

Glycerin - Great moisturizer for the skin, helps protect skin against irritation and restore skin barrier.

Trehalose - Moisturizer/humectant with water-binding properties and helps keep skin hydrated.

Ascorbyl Glucoside - This is a Vitamin C derivative. It’s one of the best options when it comes to vitamin C derivatives. It’s really stable and easy to formulate. It’s been shown to penetrate the skin, which is important for an anti-aging ingredient to do it’s job. After it’s absorbed into skin, it’s converted into pure vitamin C and shows all 3 anti-aging benefits (antioxidant protection, collagen boosting, and fading hyperpigmentation) that pure vitamin C does.

Tranexamic Acid (TXA) - Shown to be as effective as hydroquinone but without the side effects! When applied topically, it can help treat a range of dermatologic issues, including lightening discolorations from PIH (dark marks on the skin after a pimple heals). It might also help ease up freckling and sunspots. Brightening ingredients work in different ways, so it’s best to combine brightening ingredients to come at the issue from every angle. TXA works by inhibiting plasmin activity. So, it can be combined with ingredients that inhibit the enzyme tyrosinase like vitamin C and glutathione, both of which are in these patches. You also want to look for ingredients that inhibit transfer of pigment to cells, like niacinamide, which is also included in these patches! So with these multiple ingredients targeting dark spots from different pathways, you’re approaching the issue from every angle!

Niacinamide - This is a powerful active ingredient that can moisturize, support the skin barrier, soothe, and help treat pigmentation, acne, and wrinkles without causing irritation. In other words, it can do the same heavy lifting that other actives do without the redness or dryness they might cause. In fact, it makes skin calmer as it gets firmer and smoother. It’s a precursor to molecules that allow all cells, including skin cells, to repair damage and neutralize free radicals that can cause skin cancer and the breakdown of collagen and elastin. For dryness, it increases the production of ceramides, which protect your skin barrier and seal in moisture. For dark spots, it inhibits the transfer of pigment to cells, improving discoloration. For irritation, it’s both an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. So it neutralizes and calms the skin’s inflammatory responses to things like UV radiation and cell turnover. And it’s a gentler and more stable antioxidant than vitamin C, another hardworking ingredient, making it ideal for sensitive skin. It’s also good for acne prone skin. Along with the anti-inflammatory effects, it's also been shown to decrease oil production and normalize the lining of the pores, keeping them from getting clogged and enlarged.

Glutathione - Powerful antioxidant that naturally occurs in the skin where it helps defend it against the visible effects of environmental damage. The gradual decline of the natural supply of glutathione in the body is believed to be a key marker of many outward signs of aging. Glutathione is a tripeptide made up of 3 amino acids that work together to brighten a dull complexion while offering skin-restoring benefits. It has value for visibly fading discolorations when used in a 2% concentration due to its ability to interrupt an enzyme within skin’s surface that triggers hyperpigmentation.

Madecassoside - Antioxidant, soothing activities because it’s one of the main of the main biologically active components of Centella Asiatica.

Linolenic Acid - An omega-3 fatty acid. It can help protect skin from UV damage. It provides photoprotection by converting into compounds that fight inflammation and boost the skin’s response to aggressors. It also protects the skin from UV-induced hyperpigmentation, helping improve uneven skin tone. It also helps promote cell turnover and keep skin soft and smooth, strengthen skin barrier, and provide moisture.

🟣Rael Patches Ingredients
Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin, Trehalose, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Tranexamic Acid, Niacinamide, Glutathione, Madecassoside, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract, Polyglyceryl-10-Laurate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Butylene Glycol, Linolenic acid, Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Extract

They have the same ingredients, except the Rael Patches have 4 extras (these Vice Reversa Patches have 10 total ingredients, and the Rael Patches have 14 total ingredients). The first 8 ingredients are the same for both. Then the Rael Patches have Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract added in as the 9th ingredient, so it’s where the order of the ingredients start to differ but you’ll notice the all the same ingredients from these Vice Reversa Patches aside from the 4 extras in the Rael Patches. The 4 extras are Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract (an antioxidant, anti-aging, soothing ingredient that’s a good source of vitamin C, various B vitamins, vitamin E, and numerous compounds that give antioxidant benefits), 1,2-Hexanediol (multi-functional ingredient that gives soft and nice feel to formula, acts as humectant and emollient, can be solvent for other ingredients), Butylene Glycol (main job is as solvent for other ingredients but also helps product absorb faster and deeper into skin (penetration enhanced), make product spread nicely over skin (slip agent), and attract water into skin (humectant), and Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Extract (has powerful antioxidants to help protect skin, high in fatty acid content so extremely moisturizing, and called nature’s retinol because it contains vitamin A to deliver benefits of cell turnover without unwanted side effects if prescription retinoids). So, the additional 4 ingredients aren’t too bad! At the cheaper price with the same ingredients (aside from 4 extras), it might be worth trying those instead.


title: Nice bronzer but don’t like the highlighter

text:
This comes in an outer product box. It’s made in China. The tube this comes in is nice. It has a matte look to it.

The contour stick was what really interested me in this set. So many cream contour sticks labeled as “contour” end up being really warm toned. Contour is supposed to mimic your natural shadows, so it’s supposed to be cool toned, even grey toned. But, it’s hard to find one that’s actually cool toned, and even harder finding one that’s grey toned. This one looked like it was neutral, leaning cool with a kind of rosy undertone. So, I wanted to give it a try. The few rosy/pink toned contour/bronzer sticks I’ve found have worked well for me as bronzers because I have neutral leaning slightly cool skin.

On me, thus leans more warm toned than I’d like. But, once blended out, it isn’t as orange as others. Of course, it could be different for you, depending on your undertone. While it doesn’t work as a contour for me like it wanted, it does make a nice bronzer for me. The formula of it is nice. It’s soft, smooth, creamy. It blends easily. I never swipe sticks like these onto my face. I always take my sponge or brush, dab it onto the stick, and then blend it onto my skin. I find that works better and I don’t need to worry about whether swiping it directly on will lift my foundation underneath. This is pigmented, but it blends out so easily that it’s easy to blend it away. I find if I pick up and apply a little, it blends out easily and looks natural on my skin but I just need to be careful not to blend it away! But, I can also build it up for a more intense color. I like that. Once blended out, it is matte and dries down to a powder like finish that I don’t need to set and it lasts all day without any issues.

The highlighter is okay. It’s too glittery for my liking. I like more of a pearl look without glitter. But if you don’t mind micro glitter, you might like this. Its really subtle aside from the glitter so I just think there’s better options.

Overall, I think it’s worth it for the contour/bronzer side. It works really well and is easy to work with (when dabbing your brush/sponge onto the stick and then applying it) and it sets down on its own with a matte powder like finish without needing to be set. I wouldn’t recommend the highlighter. It’s just really sheer other than glitter so I think there’s better options. But, if you like a sheer but glittery highlighter, then this could work for you. I give it 4 stars because I really like the bronzer, I just don’t like the highlighter.


title: Love the shape and shade! Worried how shape will hold up over time though

LOKNGXU Eyebrow Pencil

🟧OUTER PACKAGING
This comes in an outer product box that is inside a sealed plastic bag. Ingredients are listed on the box. It is made in China.

🟧CRUELTY FREE STATUS
This has a cruelty free logo (PETA). But, I don’t think they’re actually cruelty free. The brand name on the box says AMIIR. I did a search for the brand name, manufacturer name, and cosmetic production license name and nothing showed up on PETAs website where you can do a search. So, if you’re cruelty free, you might want to look into it some more.

🟧DUAL ENDED
This is dual ended - one end the pencil, the other end a standard spoolie brush. The box was a little smashed when it arrived. Unfortunately, the part with the spoolie had kind of bent and came out. Fortunately, I was able to pop it back in (as you can see in the photos, but can also see the line where it bent some). Once popped back in though, the spoolie worked fine so I was happy about that! The spoolie is nice. It’s not too rough. It works well.

🟧MY BROWS - THICKNESS, COLOR
I don’t have unruly or thick brows, but they also aren’t really thin. They’re a little sparse in areas, but for the most part not bad. I just like to lightly fill in the sparse areas.

I have a hard time getting the shade for me. I have medium to dark brown hair. My brows are like a muted black color. Whenever I get brown brow pencils, even the dark brown ones, they tend to be way too warm and don’t look right in my brows. I’ve found the best luck with charcoal, gray, dark gray, and black shades. Though, some of those are too pigmented and can be way too dark in my brows.

🟧SHADE OF PENCIL - 3# Dark Grey
With this pencil, I was excited when I saw a “Grey Brown” shade. I’ve tried others that were similar in name and the shade worked well for me. But, with this one, in the product photos the hair they showed with it looked more like ash blonde and said “suitable for maroon or coffee color,” which definitely wouldn’t work for me - coffee color maybe, but maroon no way! But, the actual brows in the photo looked like the color would work well. But, then I looked at the photo they had all the shades on the arm to show it was waterproof, and in that the shade “Grey Brown” definitely looked more like a light brown or ash blonde kind of brow shade. They also had a “Dark Grey,” which looked like a charcoal black kind of color - not full on black, but not gray. I was a little worried it might be too dark, but figured I’d have a better chance with “Dark Grey” than with the “Grey Brown” shade given they used the word “maroon” when describing who it would work for.

Fortunately, the color “Dark Grey” does work really well for me. It can be too dark so I have to use a light hand, but I find a light hand is easy with this formula.

🟧SHAPE OF PENCIL
I tend to like precise, small tipped brow pencils. My usual go to ones are the Nyx Micro Brow or Elf Ultra Precise Brow Pencil. They’re affordable and have a really small tip so I can get good hair like strokes and they work nicely.

This is a unique shape. Triangle shapes are usually too thick for me to get precise, thin hairlike strokes. Not with this shape! This is more of a diamond shape. There is an extremely thin line where you can easily get thin hairlike strokes. You can also use the really pointed tip to get thin hairlike strokes.

**NOTE: I will say I’m a little worried how the shape will hold up. I’ve been using this every day since I got it and notice the shape is wearing down…like the defined and pointed areas I love so much. It makes sense that those would wear down, just like any pencil does and will eventually need sharpened. But, it’s not like you can really sharpen this back into that original shape. So, unless you’re careful and try to use it evenly on both sides and tips to kind of make sure it wears the same and kind of maintains the shape….and who has the time and patience for that?!…it’s going to eventually end up being like a chubby angled liner shape. So, we’ll see how much I like it at that point? With the price and how much I like it, depending how long the shape lasts for it might be worth it to me to just purchase a new one at that time. So, I will just have to see how long the shape lasts and go from there.

🟧FORMULA OF PENCIL (HOW IT APPLIES, WEARS)
The formula is really nice! It glides onto my brows easily. It’s really creamy. It doesn’t skip at all, doesn’t tug at all. It doesn’t feel or look waxy. It is pigmented, so like I said, it can be too dark for me. But, it glides on so easily, it’s easy to use a very light hand. It blends in with my brow hairs nicely. When using a very light hand and the thin line, I get perfect hairlike strokes and don’t even need to use the spoolie to blend them in because they look perfect and natural! Though, if you want more of a faded look, the spoolie can do that too! You can also press harder for it to be darker since it is pigmented. It lasts well throughout the day. Usually with really creamy formulas, they just wipe off when I blend my brows with a spoolie and if they don’t, they wear off quick. So, I usually like ones that are in the middle of waxy and creamy - waxy enough to last, but creamy enough to glide on easily. With this one being so creamy, I expected it wouldn’t last well - it would just go away if I used a spoolie in my brows or it would wear off quick - but it actually lasts all day long even through a hot day outside or a day at work running around and sweating!

🟧OVERALL THOUGHTS
If you’re looking for a great brow pen, I’d definitely recommend trying this one out! It has a unique shape that works well, it has a great formula that is really easy to work with, and it lasts well all day!


title: Reduced redness & hydrating, but need ingredient list in ENGLISH!

text:
This comes in a nice outer product box. Made in Korea. The brand’s website said it’s 100% vegan, excluding animal ingredients and animal experiments. It also doesn’t include parabens.

It comes in a nice compact. It’s a compact like a cushion foundation where you open it and there’s a kind of lid that holds the sponge applicator, and you lift that lid to reveal the product. You press the applicator sponge into it (or your own sponge or brush) and then apply it. The brand’s website said the included sponge applicator is an “eco puff” made of “eco-friendly corns” and is “99.9% anti-bacterial and water-repellent,” which makes it safe on skin and keeps puff clean.

This is a liquidy but balm kind of texture. It isn’t as thick as a balm. It just feels like a cushion foundation. But this isn’t a foundation. It has a very light, mint green color to it. It’s so light that it’s almost white but has the green color to it. When applied, it reduces redness. It doesn’t do as well as my more pigmented green correctors, but it does a nice job while being hydrating and lightweight on the skin. It’s something that works well before applying foundation. It is lightweight enough to wear well under foundation. It isn’t a primer really, it doesn’t smooth out the skin or fill in pores. But, it does reduce the redness in my skin so then I use less foundation and concealer. If you have a TON of redness or it’s REALLY red, this might not be enough since it isn’t extremely pigmented. But, it will make a difference. I like it isn’t drying on the skin either.

I’m just not sure how I feel about it though. It works well on the skin. But, I do like to know what’s in my products. I don’t like that they provided barely any product info, and the ingredients on the product box weren’t in English. They also didn’t include them here on the product page. Not even the product photos provided any real info on the product - what it does, who it’s for, how to use it, ingredients, etc. I had to go to the brand’s website to find out more. Yes, it’s a simple Google search, but it’s not really something you  should have to do.

Normally, I would just go to the brand’s website to find the list of ingredients when they’re not included on the Amazon product page. But, the Jung Saem Mool website didn’t have them on their website either. I looked for them elsewhere and did find an ingredient list on Korean Beauty Box, but didn’t think they were accurate because they didn’t include centella asiatica, pine sprout, or green calamine powder, which are supposed to be in this product. So, I translated the ingredients from the box myself. But, I’m not that confident in the ingredients provided on the box.(I included a photo from the box, and also included the ingredients at the end of my review in English)

It doesn’t seem like a complete list of ingredients to me. It has the first ingredient as titanium dioxide. It has tocopherol (vitamin E) as the 3rd ingredient. The rest of the ingredient are 7, kind of versions I’d guess you’d call them, of centella asiatica. There’s nothing else listed. It’s kind of odd. The brand’s website said this is supposed to have “2 plants - pine sprout containing fresh moisture and centella asiatica roots.” I saw the “centella asiatica roots” in the ingredients when I translated them. But didn’t see any “pine sprout.” I also saw something about “cica pine water” on the brand’s website, but again, not sure what that’s supposed to be? The brand’s website also mentioned “Natural green calamine powder covers reddened skin tone.” Again, I didn’t see any calamine powder at all in the ingredients.

The 7, I guess versions, of Centella Asiatica are:
Centella Asiatica Extract (5,159,235ppm) - Well known soothing, antioxidant, and moisturizing ingredient. Anti-inflammatory. The main biologically active components are Asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid. All of which are in this.

Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract (0.035ppm)

Centella Asiatica Root Extract (0.03ppm)

Madecassoside (0.0025ppm) - One of the main biologically active components of Centella Asiatica.

Madecassic Acid (0.0025ppm) - One of the main biologically active components of Centella Asiatica.

Asiaticoside (0.0025ppm) - One of the main biologically active components of Centella Asiatica.

Asiatic Acid (0.0025ppm) - One of the main biologically active components of Centella Asiatica. It’s less prominent than it’s sister component, Asiaticoside, but it still contributes to the well-established moisturizing and wound healing abilities of Centella Asiatica.

Overall, it works well. It reduces my redness, feels hydrating on the skin, and works well on its own and under foundation. It feels lightweight on the skin. If they provided the full ingredient list, it would be something I’d be willing to purchase. But, right now, I don’t like they didn’t include them and don’t like that they can’t even be found online as far as I could tell. And I just have a hard time believing the ingredient list I translated from the box is the full ingredient list. I don’t know. If the ingredients aren’t a big factor for you, this is nice and works well. If knowing the ingredients are important to you, I’d look elsewhere. There’s other similar products that actually provide a full ingredient list, and a lot of them are far cheaper. I give it 3 stars.

How to Use (from brand’s website):
Use as last step of skin care routine. Dip puff into content and gently apply and dab on skin.

Special Tips (from brand’s website)
Carry it in makeup bag or purse for easy supply of moisture to skin when it dries up.
Use as lightweight skin tone corrector to correct sensitive skin tone covered by masks instead of applying heavy, caking makeup.

FULL INGREDIENTS
Ingredients | Titanium dioxide (CI 77891], Centella Asiatica Extract (5,159,235ppm), Tocopherol, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract (0.035ppm), Centella Asiatica Root Extract (0.03ppm), Madecassoside (0.0025ppm), Madecassic Acid (0.0025ppm), Asiaticoside (0.0025ppm), Asiatic Acid (0.0025ppm)

**NOTE: Just for reference, 1ppm = 0.0001% (or 10,000 ppm = 1%). So…

Centella Asiatica Extract (5,159,235ppm) = 515.9235%
*5,159,235ppm is parts per million, so it means there’s 5,159,235 parts of Centella Asiatica in one million molecules
Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract (0.035ppm) = 0.0000035%
Centella Asiatica Root Extract (0.03ppm) = 0.000003%
Madecassoside (0.0025ppm) = 0.00000025%
Madecassic Acid (0.0025ppm) = 0.00000025%
Asiaticoside (0.0025ppm) = 0.00000025%
Asiatic Acid (0.0025ppm) = 0.00000025%


title: Extremely hydrating but lightweight. Does have essential oils & fragrant ingredients though

text:
This comes with no outer product box, just the bottle. But, the bottle is sealed with plastic wrapping around it. It is made in the US. The ingredients are listed on the label.

This is supposed to be cruelty free, gluten free, silicone free, sulfate free, paraben free, talc free, 100% vegan, and have clean ingredients. It didn’t have any labels on it saying it was cruelty free, but the brand’s website said they’re cruelty free. It also said they use natural and organic ingredients. But, they are not certified organic. It states,  “Our products are made with natural and organic ingredients, however, they are not certified organic. All of our products are made in the U.S. using top-quality domesticated and imported ingredients.” I’m not surprised they said they’re not certified organic. I love their honesty. I’ve seen lots of skincare brands claim their products are 100% organic when they definitely aren’t. Most skin care products are water-based and water can NOT be certified as organic, so the possibility of finding a 100% organic skincare product is close to impossible.

This claims to be hydrating, brightening, and soothing. It claims to target fine lines around the eyes, reduce appearance of dark circles and puffiness, and hydrate the eye area. It claims the key ingredients are triple peptides, bergamot oil, and citric acid. I included a full ingredient list at the end of my review (marked with 🟣). I included some info on some of the ingredients before that (marked with 🟢).

This comes in a nice pump bottle. The pump does squirt out too much if you’re not careful. I find if I carefully press it so I’m not pushing it down all the way, I get enough product and don’t waste any. It’s a thin gel consistency. It glides on nicely. It absorbs quickly leaving my under eyes feeling really hydrated and smooth. I have pretty dry under eyes. If I apply concealer, I have to make sure to moisturize them really well so they don’t look dry and cakey. A lot of the moisturizers that hydrate my under eyes enough are thicker and end up being too heavy to use concealer over. This is PERFECT! It’s thin and lightweight, but feels extremely hydrating! It gives my under eyes enough hydration and plumps them up. It doesn’t leave a sticky residue at all. Concealer goes over it beautifully and looks nice and smooth.

I haven’t been using it long enough to say anything about how it works long term on dark circles, firming, etc. But, I can say it’s really hydrating and plumping if you’re looking for something extremely hydrating under the eyes. I’m hopeful for other benefits long term given the ingredients, but even if I don’t get any more benefits, I’m still loving how well it hydrates my under eyes while being so lightweight!  Just keep in mind it does have some essential oils and fragrant ingredients in it, so if you have sensitive skin, you might want to avoid this or at least check the ingredient list to see if they’re things that you’re sensitive to.

🟢Info on ingredients
Saccharide Isomerate, which is a 100% natural and plant-derived moisturizer. It binds to the skin stronger and longer than other moisturizer ingredients do so it can keep skin hydrated longer than usual.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 & Palmitoyl Tetrrapeptide-7 - These are peptides combined to create a compound called Matrixyl 3000. Matrixyl is a highly-effective peptide composition that has been shown to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, fill in fine lines & wrinkles while restoring elasticity.

Sodium Hyaluronate, which is a form of hyaluronic acid (HA). Helps skin hold onto water, making skin more plump and elastic.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (aka Argireline), which is called “natures Botox.” It is a synthetic peptide that has several different potential wrinkle-fighting and anti-aging effects. It's so effective, that experts say it's the closest thing to Botox you can get. It prevents the muscle movement that leads to wrinkle formation. Argireline also promotes collagen production and optimizes the function of collagen, which both fight fine lines and improve moisture levels in the skin. It’s good for anyone looking to smooth wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement in areas such as the forehead and around the eyes.

Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, which has great anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidant properties.

ESSENTIAL OILS, PERFUMING INGREDIENTS
It has some essential oils and perfuming ingredients in it - Bergamot Fruit Oil, Orange Oil, Linalyl Acetate, Geranyl Acetate, and Linalool. These are super common and cheap fragrance ingredients. They oxidize on air exposure and the result can be quite irritating to the skin and can lead to allergic contact dermatitis and they count as frequent skin sensitizers. It is best to avoid them if you have sensitive skin.

🟣FULL INGREDIENT LIST
Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Saccharide Isomerate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Sodium Hyaluronate, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Carrageenan, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Oil, Sclerotium Gum, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Triethyl Citrate, Linalyl Acetate, Geranyl Acetate, Terpineol, Linalool, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.


title: Only meant for gel polish! Works well when used correctly

text:
This is ONLY meant for GEL polish NOT for acrylic powder, dip powder, Poly gel, or builder gel. Why? I don’t know. I’m guessing whatever chemicals in it breakdown the gel polish won’t breakdown the acrylic powder, dip powder, Poly gel, or builder gel in the same way.

This works great! I have tried other gel polish remover before and they just don’t feel right on the nail. It’s hard to describe, but it’s just a weird feeling I get in my nail bed when I’ve applied them. I’ve been trying out different ones hoping to find one that doesn’t feel like that and works really well…I finally found one!

This is easy to use.
-USE NAIL FILE TO REMOVE TOP COAT. This step is important. A lot of people think this step isn’t necessary with a gel polish remover like this. That it’ll remove the top coat too. It might, I haven’t tried it. But, I’m guessing it wouldn’t do it as quickly and easily. Just take a nail file and lightly buff off the top coat. It doesn’t take much.
-Apply a thin coat of the gel polish remover just like you would any nail polish
-Let it sit for 3-8 minutes. It will start to crack/bubble.
-Take a cuticle pusher and use it to push off the nail polish. It should push off easily. You can always add another coat of the remover if it’s not fully off.

I found for me with 2 coats of gel polish on, it usually took me about 10 minutes from start to finish. So much easier than acetone or even a drill! As long as you remove the top coat by filing it off before applying this remover and give it time to work and soften the polish, it’s easy to scrape off!

As a side note, even though this says it’s not meant for acrylic powder, dip powder, builder gel, or Poly gels, I tried it with dip powder. It worked well but did take longer for it to crack/bubble and I had to do 2 coats of the remover. It also worked much better when it was a solid color dip powder and not a dip powder with glitter in it.


title: Great IF need quick application, need to last no more than couple hrs, & only need couple uses

text:
I got the style “A201.” I have really small, really hooded, and downturned eyes. With such small, hooded eyes, a lot of full lashes can end up poking me in my inner corner. I like the inner corner of the lashes to be shorter. Somehow, I missed seeing that the inner corner of the “A201” style was the same length as the outer corner. I also like the outer corner to be longer and lifted to give my eye a more lifted look. While the “A201l style isn’t bad, it isn’t as good as “A202” would have been. I’m not sure how I picked so wrong 😂 I think I just saw the “A201” style looked more natural and “A202” looked darker/thicker/fuller, so I went with the more natural looking ones? No clue! I’m usually so picky when choosing lashes and so particular, I don’t know how I missed that! But, “A201” worked well enough.

I liked the idea of self adhesive lashes. No glue, no magnetic liner, no magnets. Just pop them on and be done! Easy peasy!  I had a feeling they weren’t going to stick to well, but figured they were worth a try because…..”WHAT IF THEY DID?! Wouldn’t that be something?!”

They did stick….but not for long. These are perfect for anyone who only needs the lashes to feel secure for no more than a couple hours, after that, they start lifting and feeling like they’ll fall off at any moment. You get 4 pairs for $14.99 (currently down from regular price of $16.99), that is $3.75 (or $4.25 at regular price) per pair. Not too bad. At that price, some might not mind them only feeling secure for a short while. Like if you’re someone who does makeup looks on Instagram/TikTok/YouTube/etc., you might only need the lashes on for a quick photo session or video. These would work well for that.

They did say you need to apply these BEFORE makeup. I tried it that way and then applied my eyeshadow and it was fine. I also applied them after applying my eyeshadow. They stayed secure longer when applied BEFORE eyeshadow, but did stay secure for about 40 min when applied AFTER eyeshadow.

After the first use, they don’t stick very well. If you applied them to clean, dry skin, they stick much better and stay secured longer. But if applied to eyeshadow, they don’t stick as well the second time, even if you make sure to clean them off after.

Overall, I can’t really recommend these unless you only want lashes that will be quick to apply (few seconds), don’t need them to last longer than a couple hours, and don’t mind getting only a use or 2 out of them. If that works for you, go for it because they do stick.
