California Blonde Illuminating Shampoo & Conditioner
At first use this shampoo seemed more watery than regular shampoos I've used in the past. The conditioner was more consistent, but still not as thick as others I've used in the past. I found myself using more than usual. Both products had a very strong fragrance that made it unpleasant to use the products. After two weeks of use, I didn't find my hair more 'illuminating' than it previously was. In fact, I now found my hair more limp and straw like. For a person with fine hair, this product appeared to be too heavy.
California Blonde Brass Color Correcting Creme
Application time was too long to incorporate into a regular shower routine. The instructions stated to leave on hair for 6-10 minutes. The product also had a heavy chemical smell than the shampoo and conditioner. I used it once and honestly wasn't very impressed. I only noticed a slight difference in my hair. It could be that I didn't use enough product - but the blue color of the creme scared me off a bit.
Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend them.

Kiss Everlasting French Manicure
Please note this product was received for free courtesy of Influenster for testing purposes.
Ease of Application:
Once I found the correct nail sizes to use, the product was a breeze to put on. I did have some trouble with fitting my thumb as I have very petite fingers. It did seem a bit wider than my natural nail but went on easily.
Durability:
Very comfortable. The nails weren't overly heavy and felt very natural on. It almost made you forget that you were wearing artificial nails. I work in retail so I am constantly working with my hands and banging my nails on everything. I loved that the color didn't chip away. Usually salon manicures last me about a day, this one lasted much longer.
Ease of Removal:
I must have put too much glue when I used this product because I had a hard time taking them off. I had to soak my fingers in acetone for quite some time to get them off.
Aftermath:
I felt like my natural nails were a bit damaged from the press on nails. I don't know if that was ultimately worth the cost of a nice manicure for a week. Personally I think I rather have healthy nails and perhaps a bit of chipping, or healthy nails that I have to retouch every few days.
Final Verdict: I don't think I would personally buy this myself, I prefer a bit more color on my nails. I would however consider buying their colored variety nails.
