Promising Review: "I do not claim to understand the science behind this tiny miracles, but they have changed my life. I spent my workday looking forward to going home and putting one of these bad boys on my newly erupted Mt. Zit and the overnight results were Shocking. Not only is it grossly satisfying, but it saved me several days of walking around with a bloody crater in my face because my previous method of dealing with unsightly blemishes was to pick pick pick." —Adg

Promising Review: "This is the only product that has ever cleared up my acne and I have tried many, including prescriptions. It took about six to eight weeks to see a difference, and it got worse before better, but it works. It has made my skin look so much better. It also doesn't dry my skin out like every other product." —Ash2008

Promising Review: "I have been having a terrible problem with ingrown hairs on my bikini area. I have tried several products, including a topical prescription from my dermatologist. The topical from the dermatologist helped a little, but not to my satisfaction. I found Tend Skin while scrolling through Amazon. I did not have high hopes, but figured it could not hurt to try. Within one week, I have no ingrown hairs whatsoever. I am honestly amazed by this product." —Cheri R

Promising Review: "This stuff is amazing! Like magic! Thought I’d give it a try as I usually use the powder with a brush to cover up my grays in between colors, but this stuff...omg! Sprays right on and looks so dang natural! I thought this stuff would rub off on my pillowcase too, but it doesn’t! And I used a lot! I just can’t say enough about this stuff. Worked like magic and I felt beautiful! Covering up grays in between is a cinch!" —Lisa98

Promising Review: "I just want to make my morning routine as easy as possible. i love winged liner but i don’t have the steady hand for it without mistakes. This makes the perfect and consistent wing every time. Love it! I ordered the 10mm and now i’ll have to try the 12mm!" —Julie B

Promising Review: "I actually noticed an improvement after second use! I hesitate to say that because it sounds unbelievable. I am usually disappointed in these types of products--tooth whitening, wrinkle reducers, etc. However, I am a big coffee drinker and needed to do something about staining. I had tried other whitening toothpastes, but they made my teeth sensitive. I've been using this paste for a week--usually twice a day. My teeth do look whiter and I am experiencing no sensitivity. Flavor is pleasant too. And it doesn't stain my sink or toothbrush--two things I had been concerned about." —swim mom

Promising Review: "This product is just as good or better than those high-priced products at beauty counters. My makeup artist actually is the person that introduced me to this product. I'm a singer in a band and I need to look great on stage...this product holds up and stays in place and feels amazing on my skin. I highly recommend it!" —Rose Petersen

Promising Review: "Holy crap. Please listen to this review. This is the best, and easiest to use wax I have ever tried. It dries super quickly and when it dries it creates a vacuum seal around the hair. It does not stick to skin in the slightest and cuts the pain down 75%. I would pay $150 dollars for this stuff because it is so good." —Amanda

Promising Review: "This literally changed my life. I was one of those people who used to complain about needing to wash my hair DAILY. I have thin, light blonde hair. I looked greasy and unkempt after one day, not even taking into consideration working out or sweating. But now?! A whole new world. Now, my hair can look smooth and straight, because I don't need to wash, dry, then straighten every morning (what a time-suck!). Now, I just straighten and dry shampoo. I've used the extra time in mornings to improve my make-up routine, take my dog on longer walks, etc. AND I look more put-together at work. Get this stuff. Conserve water. Never look back." —Eemn83

Promising Review: "This deep-cleansing pore strips are amazing! I warm up my face with hot water and leave areas for application wet, then apply the strips! Having an acne prone skin this really removes all the blackheads!! I also take a face strip and cut it in half for chin and forehead." —kat12

Promising Review: "No matter what I do or what expensive and high rated product I try, my flyaways are an annoying constant. This product has completely rid me of my daily top of head flyaway frizz! I wish I would have discovered this product years ago! It smooths my hair out and truly lasts all day. Be careful, as a tiny bit goes a long way!" —RachelOK

Promising Review: "My poor feet have been extremely neglected ever since I was pregnant two years ago. This was the first time I really ever had very rough, hard heels and 'old' looking feet; so bad, I didn't even want to have a pedicure or wear sandals. Anyway, these foot peels were super easy to use and boy are they effective. It was the fourth day that my feet began to peel - very strange! Totally painless. The new skin coming through was very soft, like new. I would totally recommend. My sister and mother have requested their boxes." —Ally CHR

Promising Review: "This product is amazing! I learned about it after extensively scouring the web for the best detangling comb. After one use, I’m convinced it may be the most transformational element in the detangling process for my and my daughters’ hair. My 11-year old didn’t even realize I was comb detangling her hair when it was her turn until she heard me singing the product’ praise. It is so important to have a product like this on the market for those with 4c hair looking to maximize the length and strength of our hair; the detangling process often feels like a hindrance to this goal. Recommending this product to everyone!" —Customer

Promising Review: "This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad I could shake my head and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all of my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." —Moo Moo

Promising Review: "I purchased this product as an effort to repair my nails after having SNS nails for quite some time. My nails have always been thin and brittle, impossible to grow- hence why I get SNS manicures. After I had to soak off my SNS nails, I was left with very thin, peeling nails that were badly damaged. This product improved my nails within days and stopped the peeling almost immediately. I do put on two coats daily instead of every 3 days and then restart after a week. Very satisfied with how fast my nails are recovering and am determined to continue using to keep growing!" —Tabitha C.

Promising Review: "This is the most amazing moisturizer I have ever used. I have an oily T-Zone, and have always had a hard time with moisturizers feeling greasy on my skin. This one is so light but so effective. A tiny little bit covers your entire face, and it feels like you have nothing on your face at all. You're left with your skin feeling soft and smooth. When I tell people that I'm going to turn 53, they never believe me. They say I look 35. Thank God for this product!" —Charlotte Wooden-Hillis

Promising Review: "I'm always skeptical on new hair tools, as I've been burned many times (pun intended). However, I kept seeing posts about how great this tool is, so I bought it. I love it! My hair is to my waist and very thick and naturally curly, and it worked very well. It took me about 15 minutes to wave all my hair. The tool is light and has a comfortable grip. I use the highest heat setting and hold it on my hair for five seconds on each portion of the section of hair I'm working on. The waves can hold for days. The one trick is finding out how to style it the way you want, for the look you want. A great tip I learned is to flip the tool each time you use it on a section to alternate the way the waves face, it makes the waves look more natural! I highly recommend." —Ana V

Promising Review: "This stuff does not just sit on top of your lips and make them slimy — it actually absorbs and makes them feel like baby-soft skin. Not sticky at all and no shine so it's great to go outside around the lip where the dryness is without showing. In winter especially, my lips are red and irritated and stinging from the dryness and I have to keep applying lip goo all day. This stuff, one application and they feel soft for hours even after eating. Use it at bedtime and they are perfect the next a.m." —pltrn

Promising Review: "These silicone mask brushes are very nice! They seem sturdy which is great because I apply a mask daily and a clay mask twice a week. Mixing everything with a plastic spoon is wasteful, it never mixes everything together great and can be very sloppy. applying the mask with my fingers also tends to be a pain. Remember, if you use bentonite clay, it can’t come in contact with metal, so the silicone is perfect for mixing it. The silicone tip is also long enough I don't have to worry about the clay coming into contact with the metal that holds the silicone and handle together." —Em

Promising Review: "Tried these for the first time yesterday. They were super easy to use, not horrible to sleep on and easy to take out. Curls were full and fell nicely. I didn't have to untangle hair or pull to get these rods out. Please know I am a 30 something year old who has no hair skill at all so these are great for women like myself who throws their hair in a ponytail and goes because they lack skill." —Alyce Heifner

Promising Review: "So I use this primer for my eyeliner AND eyebrows. It is a life changer! I work with jobs, and majority of the day I'm waitressing outside on the patio in the humidity, I needed something to keep my eyeliner in tact so I didn't look like a raccoon by the end of my shift. It literally kept my makeup looking like I just put it on all day no matter how bad I sweat in the heat! I used it only on my eyes first just to try and I was amazed. So the next day I tried it as a primer for my eyebrows too before I filled them in and it does the same for my eyebrows! I'm in love with this product." —Molly

Promising Review: "I love this product and how well it worked/works! I used it with gel nails and and led/UV lamp and it worked great!! It dried almost immediately and a little goes a long way! I love this product and will be back once this runs out! I love it and it makes me want to paint my nails because I don't have to worry about so much correcting any mistakes! Love it, thank you!" —Kathy Gortney

Promising Review: "All I have to say is that this L'Oreal brow product is better than Wundurbrow and way cheaper. I used Wundurbrow for a while and I'm surprised I didn't discover this one first since I'm a professional Cosmetologist and do brows regularly. It literally stay matte and my brows don't sweat at all. I've kept my makeup on for three days (not recommended) and still my brows looked so fresh like I did them the same day. Anyways love this!" —Amazon Customer

I have fine shoulder length hair that I put up when running errands or just don't want to fuss with it but got tired of ponytails. This neat tool gives me a clean sophisticated look in five minutes. If you can do a ponytail you can use this tool and will look amazing : )" —Lali
