If you want a gentler, way to tame your hair than relaxing this is what you want!! Its 5X less damaging than relaxers & lasts up to 6 weeks or 5 washes! It has great packaging, easy to use, great availability and very affordable. What else could you want? I will get another box when I need it. Amazing product and it does everything it claims to, my hair is smooth and feels silky. I tried this product out for BUZZAGENT

REVIEW


This hair product trio is a must to have for sure!!! The shampoo, conditioner and mask not only smell great but they leave your hair soft and silky. I damaged my hair from straightening it chemically, and I have to say that these products did wonders for it. I hope Sally's keeps selling these products because I am going to keep buying them

Private Selection® Frozen Foods







It makes a great late night snack or works as lunch or dinner when you just don't feel like cooking and want to heat and eat something tasty. I can't recall ever meeting anyone who didn't like pizza. In fact, every time I have had out of town guests, inevitably sometime during their visit we end up eating pizza. I have never enjoyed take out pizza or home delivered pizza as much as heating up a frozen pizza, simply because it feels like twice the work getting pizza delivery or take out because I end up heating the pizza again to get it good and hot. Additionally, there is always the big pizza box to deal with fitting into a garbage can. So, frozen pizza straight from the grocery store is the most convenient option when it comes to the best combination of price, taste, and least amount of effort getting it from oven to dish.


When you go to the frozen aisle of your grocery store, likely half of the aisle is filled with frozen pizza and there are so many choices and it can overwork your brain just trying to figure out what the best choice is. All pizzas are not created equal and some just taste downright nasty. The secret to a great tasting pizza is the crust. It is all about the crust. If the crust is tasteless or strange tasting, or has some kind of unpleasant aftertaste, then it doesn't matter how good the toppings are. Having tried many frozen pizzas over the years, I found these pizzas, which are readily available in most grocery stores have the best tasting crust.


Packaging was eye catching and it only took ten minutes from freezer to table to prepare. The crust was thin and not at all soggy, pepperoni was thick and there was plenty of cheese.Delicious GOURMET pizza! Loved it and will buy againg and again.

Maybelline Baby Lips & Great Lash Lots of Lashes






Things to love about babies…

the way they smell when they’re fresh from a bath.
their fuzzy little tufts of hair on their heads when it starts coming in.
their chubby cheeks.
their soft skin.
their giggles and coos.
OH! Their cherub-like lips. Who doesn’t love baby lips?
Maybelline knows everyone loves baby lips, so they’re giving us all the chance to have Baby Lips this October when their new lip balm with SPF 20 has it’s wide-release. They’re pretty serious about it too—so serious that they have six options to prove it to us.

Four tints:

Cherry Me
Pink Punch
Grape Vine
Peach Kiss
Two Clear:

Quenched
Peppermint

Price & Availability: $3.99 each—wide release in October at mass market retailers; like CVS and Target








Finally I can say I too am on the Great Lash wagon! Like so many others, the original formula was too wet, left my eyelashes a horrible clumped mess, and always smeared under my eyes. To boot, the formula would sting my eyes. Well many years later, I am reviewing an updated version of the original, and this time the original doesn't hold a candle to the new version!
Same classic pink tube and green cap, but what's inside is a welcome surprise! The brush is a vast improvement over the original brush. The formula is wonderful - not wet and messy. I have very sparse & short lashes. This is magic in a tube! Lengthens, darkens (I chose the brownish-black), and curls (after several coats since not only are my lashes short & sparse, they are stick straight!) without the use of a lash curler. I just hold the brush against my lashes for a few seconds and it holds the curl:)
