Marina and Lauren (a.k.a. Lolo) review Sunsilk De-Frizz products

We agree that this product-line is just fine, and would make a good impulse buy if you need a little pick-me-up.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair

I’ve been using the Advanced Night Repair Protective Recovery Complex nightly on my face for one week, and my skin feels very smooth. This product is an Estee Lauder classic, being one of their big sellers for the last twenty years. The company claims that the serum repairs past skin damage while protecting it from further environmental damage. While I don’t know how well it actually repairs the skin, it does leave it feeling lovely. $46.50 - $73.

Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream treats eye puffiness, dark circles and lines. It is a nice eye cream. Again, not sure if it lives up to it’s claims, but it works for me well enough. $48US for 0.5 oz.

New is the Advanced Night Repair Concentrate Recovery Boosting Complex, which boasts “5 times the concentration of the patented recovery complex”. It is recommended for use before and after intense skin treatments such as microdermabrasion, or excess environmental exposure. $85US for 1 oz.

Avon Sweet Honesty

Sweet Honesty by Avon: Airdrie has been using the Sweet Honesty roll-on antiperspirant lately ($1.99) and also enjoys the pink plasic jar full of skin softener cream. This product line has the classic Avon Sweet Honesty scent: honey, citrus and vanilla. It smells a little like soap or fabric softener. Wonderful!

For me, it might sound cliche, but beauty for me really does start on the inside. It's like a state of mind, a state of love if you will. Then, whatever you can do on the outside is all like a bonus. - Queen Latifah
