What does Ms. Faux think?

I just wanted to get this review quickly out of the way because to be honest I can't tell you if this is a bad product or not.  To be real... for a skincare product to get a raving review here, it is going to have to do something amazing on a first application, but with skincare it generally is a multi-use that gets results.  That being said, there certainly wasn't anything off-putting about this product.  It smelled nice, had great texture and my make up looked pretty good this day.  In terms of its long term claims, I cannot comment..

What does Ms. Faux think?

Hunties.... I seriously was about to chop my hair into a pixie.  It had gotten so long and was losing it luster as well as was not very manageable. Well I can say that with this shampoo my hair felt clean as a whistle and moisturized.  Perhaps I will hold onto this hair a bit longer.  Also... it smells like a dream.  A delicious, high end scent that is sort of spa like.

What does Ms. Faux think?

Again I think the test of a product like this is use over time which I'm not going to get from a sample.  What I did get however is that my scap, which can get dry and itchy at this time of year, felt instantly better.  So I do believe over time this would work to strengthen hair as we know the secret to healthy hair is a healthy scalp.

What does Ms. Faux think?

I'm going to give this product most of the credit for my hair turnaround.  I put a dab on before drying my hair and found my hair immediately to be more manageable.  Not only that it had a shine, did not feel as dry and I was loving skipping a step in putting on heat protection.  Once I'm out of my sample I see myself purchasing this product outright.

So there we go.  I do think Alterna has a hit on their hands with this Caviar line.  Just heavenly.

So what do you think?  Have you tried any of these products?

What do you think?  Do you have others that Ms. Faux simply must try.
