Amazing. Apply a thick coat on wet nail polish. Within 10-20 minutes, your nails feel and look like glass. I can do my nails at night and not wake up with sheet prints in the morning.

Sally's has it. I've also seen it in CVS and Publix. It used to be sold only in salons but I think the word is spreading. Regarding cost, anywhere from $8 - $13. Depends on where you go. But it's deffo worth it.

Halanna

Aveeno Positively Smooth shave gel.

It works.

It's all natural. No bumps, no chemicals. I use it everywhere.

Shaindra

Cetaphil non-foaming cleanser. It's a fantastic make-up remover.
Crushed aspirin (add to Cetaphil, make a scrub, leave on as a masque)

Has fixed every single lip issue I've ever had... Lip, though, not cold sore.
Makes them incredibly smooth and soft. I put it on at night and wake up cracks healed, no flakes and stuff in the winter time. And healed sunburn after about two days.
Kicks windburn, too.

Aveeno Shave Gel, The Body Shop Hemp Lip Protector.. both are AWESOME. The hemp lip balm is soooo moisturizing.

Also Bath and Body Works My Favorite Lip Balm works amazingly, as well.



I like Redken's Smooth Down Butter Treat deep conditioner for very dry hair.



Used weekly, it makes my hair soooooooooo smooth and doesn't tangle at all. also, it lets me keep my curls.. so it's not heavy for my hair at all.

Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle. The "deeeeeep" version. Nothing but compliments on soft, soft hair.

This stuff is the best conditioner ever. It makes my hair soft and shiny without weight.

Haven't tried the hemp lip stuff. But yeeeears ago they made a sleep mask thingy full of smell good thingys. I used it for years. The scent never faded and I'd instantly drift off to sleep after a night of partying. I can't find it anywhere now .

But I prefer this for my lips:



No shine. No color. I'm all over it. I have one in virtually every room in my house.

SabrinaFair

Smith's Rosebud Salve.

Great on lips, great on chapped skin, great on cuticles, great on the face for a dewy glow. I've used it since high school, and usually buy 5-6 tins at a time so that I never run out.

Is it weird that I've tried most of these products? >_< **product whore** Only thing I've never tried was the Aussie product. Never tried Aussie ever.. But! Will one day..

Nah, not too weird .

Just bought this and the conditioner:



I've seen it before and checked out the reviews online. 4.5-5 / 5 stars is what led me to run out and buy it. The stuff's phenomenal. The scent is similar to Juicy Fruit gum. The conditioner is weird to use as it's baby puke green, but the slip is amazing - great for long hair.

You can find it in Regis salons (Trade Secret, Hair Cuttery, Famous Hair, etc.) Get it!

wooÐs

Yes, I wear hairspray. And I've sworn by this stuff for almost 10 years now. No white flakey shit. Flexible hold. Great for scrunching or for smoothed out styles. Price is great for what you get imho. And the scent isn't overpowering. yay.

Osilan

You beat me to it! Now may I add Nutraderm moisturizing lotion for dry, sensitive skin? The two are the perfect combo, even for a gargoyle like myself with oily, sensitive skin. I believe both products are made by Galderma (and come with bona fide dermatologist recommendations.)

redsneaker

My newest fave is Prescriptives All Skins Mineral Makeup. It's a liquid mineral extreme wear foundation that WILL NOT slide off - even if it's super hot outside. It covers well without feeling heavy.

CinnamonGirl

Simple. Classic. And works way better than any of the fancy cleansers I've tried.

Noxzema is also great on body eczema. I have it on my arms and washing with this gets all the red off of them.

My pick is Johnson & Johnson's baby lotion. It works well, smells great, is inexpensive and isn't greasy. I hate lotions that are even a touch greasy.

ISO Bouncy Creme. The best I've ever tried for defining and defrizzing, especially curly hair, without having to use a gel or something scrunchy. And the big container lasts forever.

There's a Lush thread already, but this stuff is amazing for dry skin.



'King of Skin' body butter

My skin is like a baby's butt all day long. Better than anything I've ever tried. It is pricey, but it's worth it imo. If you have dry skin, GET THIS.

Shaindra

I forgot my other fav...not really a product, but perfect for a cheapy like me.

Sea salt + olive oil or grapeseed oil = sea salt scrub. Add in your favorite essential oils if you want. Mmmmm.

Cetaphil-

Great lotion, no scent and no oily residue. Recommended by my dermatologist since I have eczema and cannot use a lot of other beauty products.

Fantastic make up. Very different. Takes some getting used to. But once you get the hang of it, your skin will never look better. They have great colors too.

I've discovered headbands with the elastic underneath:



I love them. And they come in all sorts of styles - leather, tortoise shell, fabric, etc. And they stay put. A new way to wear long hair yay!

Lady Bear Cub

kenra silkening gloss. it makes you smell like your 13 but its still amazing. it makes your hair look so healthy and defines your layers.

Actizen's Vitality Purifying Essence.


Purchased it during a trip to Singapore last month! The only product that actually works wonders on my blackheads and significantly reduces them!

Large thermal brushes



Excellent for adding body, volume and curl - straightens too. Every woman should own several of these. And of course, use them with a hairdryer on dry hair for max effect. Heats up the brush like a curling iron, for those who may not know.
