I actually really like these products... More than I thought I would. I went online, read some reviews, and finally made up my mind to buy it. I went to ebay for this purchase, payed about half I would otherwise, and got my package in about a week.
Here's what I bought:
Thickening Shampoo 8.44 oz (22.00)
Thickening Conditioner 8.44 oz (24.00)
Restorative Hair Treatment 3.1 oz (originally 21.00)
For all three of these products, I paid about 25.00, so that's a much better price. If you want to try this line, be sure to go to ebay!!! But always do your homework when shopping there, and go for the top ranking sellers.
The Shampoo:
Sort of a creamed corn yellow. I love the scent, its like wildflowers... Cleanses well. The only problem I had was that the bottle always cuts my fingers/hand. Be careful with that, its really sharp!! I didn't notice any thickening, but I didn't get this product for that. 10 Stars
The Conditioner:
Bright Green. Thick consistency, almost too thick, I had to add water to be able to get it out of the bottle!! Love the scent, again smells like wildflowers or chamomile... I like the conditioning, really closes my hair follicle, and makes my hair exceptionally shiny. I didn't notice any thickening, but I didn't get this product for that. And again, be careful with the cap of the bottle... its very sharp! 10 Stars
Hair Treatment:
Basically a solid oil. Very thick, came with the comb/scoop. Smells like coffee, but in a very earthy, hippy way, which I like. I use this maybe once a week. Can leave the bathtub oily, be careful. DO NOT use this as a leave-in, it will make your hair oily and unmanageable, or at least it did for mine. I don't notice much of a difference with this product. 6 Stars

Skin whitening... myths
If you use a skin whitener, this doesn't mean you want to be white, nor will skin whitening products work this way... sorry they just don't.
What skin whiteners are for and what they do...
Skin whiteners/bleachers/brighteners... these are all variations on the same thing.
Skin Bleaching: is high intensive bleaching.... these products actually contain bleach, and/or other harmful chemicals, which I don't recommend.
Skin Whiteners: Whiten/ brighten skin discolorations, such as; freckles, scars, moles, acne scars, hyper pigmentation, ect. These can contain: vitamin c, kojic acid, vitamin e, exfoliates, sunscreen, ect. These are mostly natural, and I use them often.
Skin brighteners: These can be as simple as exfoliation, which brightens the skin for a healthy look and feel. They can also contain vitamins and sunscreens.
Normal skin whitening ingredients:
Hydroquinone:
This is considered safe by dermatologists. It is a primary inhibitor of melanin production... basically, it inhibits the skin from producing a tan or freckles. It has been know to irritate some skin, be careful.
Uva ursi:
AKA Bearberry. Contains arbutin, which can have a similar effect as hydroquinone.
Similar to Uva ursi... mulberry extract, white mulberry, and paper mulberry.
Others:
Licorice, Vitamin C, azelaic acid, pomegranate, vitamin E.
Alpha Hydroxy Acid:
Lactic acid and glyconic acid.
Kojic acid:
product of making Japanese sake.
Ingredients you have to look out for:
Mercury
Bleach

I'm amazed. These are really cool, but pretty much for 18 years or older only.... Click here
Sorry
That was only part of my past... the part I've come closer to accepting... I have a lot of problems.... I understand this. I'm socially awkward, I'm insensitive, I make people feel bad, I have really cynical humor. My humor is a coping mechanism, an anodyne.... So is my anger. I push people away for a reason. For many reasons. I'm tired of pain, I'm tired of getting the one's I love hurt, I'm tired of hurting people.... I'm tired of loosing control....
I'm sorry to the people I've hurt, I'm sorry I lie, I'm sorry... I don't expect forgiveness, I just need to forgive myself....

Hikikomori
I'm starting to wonder about myself...again. I really believe if it weren't for school, I wouldn't come out of my house.... I pretty much live on my computer; on the internet. I think it started happening when I was seven. I hated school, I hated people, so I would often fake being sick for long periods of time. Just so I could be away from everything that hurt me. Then my 'illnesses' started to become real. I felt so much anxiety that I couldn't function... it was around this time that I started to have panic attacks. I was abused as a child, physically and emotionally. I was also endlessly harassed by other school children. Why? I really don't know, everything I did was wrong... the way I dressed, the way my mother had my hair cut, the way I would just keep quiet and never speak in class. I barely cared for anyone, never really had a crush until I was 12. I barely cared for myself, or what happened to me. I guess it was all those years of being called 'worthless'... or a 'stupid bitch'.... When I was around 9 I finally stood up to my mother.... now we would get into fist fights.... literal fist fights. I was young, weak, scared... but at nine years old, I finally really took a stand. My father, who is deeply clinically depressed, was pretty much non existant... though he is the one I was closest to. Though I would never call myself a 'daddy's girl', I wasn't close to anyone else.
I know hikikomori's never leave their rooms/houses, but I wouldn't if I didn't have obligations...

Halloween
Though I haven't gotten any requests for Halloween makeup looks/tutorials, I have a few of my own! I will be doing so really wearable looks during this time as well, but they will be based off of history/historical events. I will also start doing movie review blog posts as well.
Wish me luck!!!

In a run-down, suburban Bangkok hospital, young Dr. Tar and seven nurses have been running a scheme to sell dead bodies on the black market. But one nurse, Tawan, has found out that her boyfriend, Dr. Tar, has been having an affair with her sister, Nook, is tired of the body-selling scam, and is ready to call the police.
However, before Tawan can take action, the doctor and six resident nurses at the hospital, force Tawan onto an operating table, kill her and then wrap her in a black, plastic garbage bag. They then dump her in the trunk of the doctor’s car, where her corpse will be kept on dry ice until it can be sold.
All the woman have their own obsessions and weaknesses, which are preyed upon in the days that follow, when Tawan's ghost returns to kill each one of her former co-workers. -taken from Wikipedia.
My thoughts:
I like this move, very campy. Would I call it scary or sexy, no, but its still a good movie. There's an interesting twist at the end, and the ghost costume is very well done.
My Rating:
7 out of 10
