MARIA112 says "Braun 8580 self cleaning can also be used by women" about Braun self cleaning number 8585 electric razor

MARIA112 — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:50:10 GMT

I know this is a mens razor. My husband bought it for himself at Christmas. A month ago my Panasonic shaver broke and with everything going on I couldn't get to the store to buy one. Actually, I'm an on line shopper more than anything but I need one badly. So, that morning I decided to use his. I couldn't believe how well it worked. It had a pivoting head so I could shave around my knees and those hard to reach areas. Plus, I use to have to shave everyday Actually, with this shaver I could have went the next day without shaving; however, I did run it over my legs real quick just to make sure I wouldn't have any stubble. Of course, he bought me my own and I love it. It was a bit expensive but well worth it. The added benefit of self cleaning is great. I had to clean the Panasonic myself. I know they say a woman should not use mens shavers but in this situation I have to disagree.

MARIA112 says "Anon Anew PM Treatment not worth it" about Avon ANEW ALTERNATIVE Intensive Age Treatment PM

MARIA112 — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:37:06 GMT

My friend at work starting selling Avon so I figured I'd give this a try. I have sensitve skin and have even seen a dermatologist several times. This product was built up so much in the Avon catalog I decided to try it. I'm sorry to say that I did not notice one bit of difference. I used the entire contents hoping every morning I would notice something, anything; but not one bit of difference. In addition, I did not like the fragrance. I do not like smells; especially at night before bed. My husband even kept asking "What do you have on - it smells." Honestly ladies, if you want to try this, I suggest asking your Avon Reprensative for a sample of it first.

MARIA112 says "Paul Mithcell Liquid Strength actually does what it says" about Paul Mitchell Super Strong Liquid Strength

I usually don't buy expensive brand name hair products. Everything I've read on hair products is that they are all pretty much the same. However, my hairdresser used this product on my hair and I couldn't believe the difference. First of all, it isn't expensive at all. A 3.4 oz bottle was $6.00 and you only need a couple sprays so it'll last a while. This product adds elasticity to hair. My hair is very thin and weak. After a couple sprays of this, drying and styling I felt the difference immediately. Before I could just twirl my hair around my finger and it would just come out. With the use of this product I twirl my hair and feel the strength in it. It just bounces back to where it belongs. Actually, it helped me break the habit of hair twirling. On top of the added benefit of protecting the hair from heat damaged it is well worth $6.00. In addition, I noticed my hair color is lasting longer.

MARIA112 says "Paul Mitchell Ion Express Pro Tools definitely worth every penny" about Paul Mitchell Flat Iron Straightener

MARIA112 — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:03:26 GMT

This has to be the best flat iron I've ever used. Believe me, I've used quite a few. Actually, I just wrote a review on Baby Liss that said I returned the Baby Liss and purchased this one. This iron has such a unique style of plates. It actually conditions the hair as you straighten. It's great, especially for the ends. If you're hair is frizzy at the ends like mine this takes care of it. I use to have the worst time straightening my bangs because every other iron just singed the ends. I can actually hold this on the end of my hair for a couple seconds and there is no singeing at all; just a smooth straightened piece of hair. My hairdresser taught me how to use it to create curls if you ever wanted a different look. The information that comes with the iron does show you how to use the iron to curl, straighten and create different looks. It was expensive but too me it was well worth the money, especially after all the irons I've tried and ended up in my closet not...

MARIA112 says "Not bad but found better for the price" about Baby Bliss Pro Nano Titanum 1 1/4" Straightening Iron

MARIA112 — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:37:07 GMT

My hair has finally gotten longer so I decided to try the Baby Liss Extended Plates Iron. Believe me when I say, I researched them all, plus have tried a number of flat irons when my hair was shorter. This wasn't a bad iron; however, the iron heated up so quickly that the outsides got so hot I could barely hold it. I loved the extended plates and the high temperature setting, but it was impossible to hold after a awhile. The heat was intense on the outside. I even tried lowering the temperature because I really liked it because of the plates. I ended up returning it because I couldn't hold it. I don't mind paying the price for a quality product; however, for $129.99 I want an iron I can use. I ended up purchasing a Paul Mitchell Ion Express which was way more expensive but it did the trick. I'm doing a review on it also if you'd like to read it.

MARIA112 says "JUST LIKE HOMEMADE, BUT EASIER" about Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls

MARIA112 says "NOT VERY GOOD COVERAGE" about Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Complexion Make-up

MARIA112 — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 01:51:59 GMT

THE WAY THIS PRODUCT LINE WAS HYPED UP I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT. MAYBE I EXPECTED TOO MUCH, BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS AS GOOD AS THEY SAID. THE COVERAGE WITH THE FOUNDATION WAS BELOW AVERAGE. I WILL SAY THE PRODUCTS (POWDER, BLUSH, HIGHLIGHTER...) HAD A LIGHT FEEL ON MY SKIN. I WAS JUST DISAPPOINTED IN THE FOUNDATION, BECAUSE IT DID NOT HAVE ANY COVERAGE AT ALL, LET ALONE MAKE PORES LOOK SMALLER, AS THEY CLAIMED....

MARIA112 says "TRULY BELIEVE IN IT." about The Zone Diet

MARIA112 — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 03:44:17 GMT

I HAVE BEEN A PERSONAL TRAINER FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND HAVE SEEN MANY SO CALLED "DIETS". THIS IS THE ONE THAT MAKES SENSE AND WORKS. IT'S A SENSIBLE, HEALTHY WAY OF EATING THAT YOU CAN USE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE -- NOT SOMETHING YOU DO FOR 4 WEEKS. IT TEACHES YOU HOW TO EAT BALANCED, NUTRITIOUS MEALS. MYSELF, CO-WORKERS, CLIENTS HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR YEARS & IT HAS HELPED US STAY IN SHAPE IN A HEALTHY WAY....

MARIA112 says "THE COLOR IS WAY TOO DARK." about Maybelline Great Lash Curved Brush Washable Mascara, Velvet

MARIA112 — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 00:00:43 GMT

I LOVE MAKE UP AND AM ESPECIALLY CONCERNED WITH HOW MY EYES LOOK. I'VE TRIED MANY MASCARAS, RANGING IN PRICE FROM $30.00 TO AS LOW AS $3.00. YES, SOME OF MAYBELLINE MASCARAS ARE WONDERFUL; HOWEVER, THIS ONE IS THE WORST. THE COLOR IS SO DARK THAT IT TAKES AWAY FROM THE EYE INSTEADING OF ENHANCING IT. ALSO, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO WASH OFF....
