I would give this negative stars. The light portion creats a block making it impossible to grasp hair and the light didn't even work on the tweezers I received. Another item for the garbage.

Reviews of Incoco Nail Tools, Emery Board, Nail File, 7 Way Nail Buffer
There is nothing better than having one tool to meet all your needs. This is it. Smooths everything evenly, great find.Incoco makes great products and I just love the way this 7 Way Buffer does the job. I just wish each section was labeled to tell you what they are used for. My first Incoco Buffer was labeled and made it much easier to work with

Discount Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Fast Dry Nail Color: Flashy Fuchsia #220
Just left feeback, but can't find it. The only other feedback left about this product is not an accurate feedback. I change my polish every few days. This polish is perfect, as described as shown. It is worth the money as well. If you want a cheap product, do not buy this. It goes on professional not cheap. In addition, often people do not read the complete description. This brand of polish is always perfect. I do not always leave feedback for stuff I buy, but this product is worth an A+++++++ rating.
NOT!!!!!!! I received (1) Sally Hansen pink polish as pictured, but thought the picture was wrong. I always go by the product description when ordering, but this time I did not get what I expected. I was also charged shipping (free shipping indicated in item description). This is NOT worth $4.54 + shipping + tax. I always read product reviews before I buy and wish there had been one for this item. Save your money.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color, Blue By!. Review
the color is brilliant and the ease of use makes this brand my #1 favorite nail polish. I keep my nails relatively short and the brush in the Insta-Dry poish is a breeze to use.

Cheap Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Medium Glow 4.4 oz.
Gives your skin a GLOWING color and hides those dark shaving holes in the legs. It's pretty easy to apply. I actually put it on my face too sometimes! It makes my face glow too!
The bad thing is THE LACK OF VARIETY! Basically, I barely edged by on the color factor. I was the darkest color they had which is sad! Everyone of all color should be able to enjoy the product..at such as reasonable price at that!
Great product nonetheless. Gives you flawless legs...without the stockings! Now we know what the celebs use..and try pass it off as there ACTUAL skin..yea right!
-In my opinion, all three offer great coverage. Given the limited amount of product shades available versus the abundance of different skin colors that vary from person to person, and even vary in one individual due to sun exposure or tanning products, its a safe bet that most will not find their perfect color in one bottle. If you want the closest match, you will have to do some color mixing.
AIRSTOCKINGS:
PROS:
-Very little to no transfer:
CONS:
-Color doesn't seem natural to me. Too pink.
SUMMARY:
-If it wasn't for the color issue, it would be my favorite.
COLOR:
-They offer three colors. Listed from light to dark: Natural, Terra Cotta and Bronze.
-I've used all three. Colors seem to have more of a pinkish tone, this is great if you have cool coloring. Right now the natural is the closest of these that match and its a little too dark, just a tad, but when blended in, its not THAT obvious. When I am darker, I mix the terra cotta in a little. Its harder to mix because it dries faster (like the Nyce Instant Nylons) so you have to work fast.
-Their colors are my least favorite, they just don't look natural on me. The Natural shade by itself makes my legs look pink from afar and the shade is too different from the color of my arms.
APPLICATION:
-Says to spray on legs then use your hands to blend it in and they advise you let set for 1-2 minutes. I guess it has the potential to rub off in that time. Regardless of how long it takes to "set", it dries pretty fast and to mix the colors you have to work fast.
TRANSFERABILITY:
-Beats the Sally Hansen hands down. I've sat on black leather seats on a hot day, resulting in my legs sweating and saw no transfer. Downright impressive.
Sally Hansen Airbrush Leg Light Glow :
PROS:
-Nice colors (a little on yellow side)
-Of the three, offer best color selection (5 shades vs. 3)
-Easy to mix colors.
-Easy application.
CONS:
-Color transfer, of the three the most easily rubbed off.
SUMMARY:
-Nice colors but don't like that it transfers so easily. I used it for a long time but after trying the Nyce and Airstockings, my expectations have been raised.
COLOR
-They have five colors. Listed from light to dark: Nude Glow, Light Glow, Medium Glow, Tan Glow and Deep Glow.
-Ive used their Nude Glow, Light Glow and even Medium Glow depending on the color of my legs. Right now, being winter, my legs are pretty white and the closest match is the Nude Glow. The Light Glow is too dark and looks too orange on my skin. When my legs are tanner, I've mixed the Nude Glow with the Light Glow and even the Light Glow with the Medium Glow but I am rarely that tan.
-I prefer the colors of the Sally Hansen because they seem more natural, although a tad more on the yellow/orange side, and they have a better color selection. More colors, better odds of finding one that matches your skin color without mixing.
APPLICATION:
-Directions say to spray on hands, then apply to legs and blend, then let set 60 seconds. I've done it both ways. Sprayed on hands, sprayed on legs. I end up blending the color on my legs either way so the results are the same but I guess there is less product getting everywhere if you do it directly on hands. This brand has been the easiest to mix colors with.
TRANSFERABILITY:
-This isn't as good as the other two when it comes to transfer. It doesn't all rub off like makeup but, of the three, it rubs off the most and if you are sitting in your car on a hot day or just by sliding out, you will see some on your car seat...and your clothes. If you have black leather seats, sit on a towel or something you don't mind getting dirty....
Nyce Legs Spray On Instant Nylons Nail Treatment Products
PROS:
-Little to no transfer:
-Neutral colors (It leans towards yellowish but, to me, more of an in between of the Airstockings pink tones and Sally Hansen yellow tones)
CONS:
-Bottles clog.
-Dries very fast.
SUMMARY:
-if it wasn't for the clogged bottle issue, it would be my favorite.
COLOR:
-Offers three colors as well. Listed from light to dark: Nude, Medium Beige and Dark Beige.
-I've tried the Nude and Medium Beige. Right now I use the nude and this is pretty close to my skin tone. I find that its not too orange and not too pink, it sits somewhere in the middle. When I am darker, I mix it in with the Medium Beige. This brand is harder to mix colors because of the fast dry time.
APPLICATION:
-Says to spray on legs and dries in 10 seconds (sounds about right..). This is what makes it harder to mix, you have to work fast (faster than 10 seconds....)
-The one thing I did not like was that the three bottles i've purchased have clogged at one point or another before I was finished with them. Two I managed to salvage. Once they clogged the first time, it became a repetitive issue, I keep having to clean the caps. I do this by dunking them in a mixture of water and facial cleanser, let it soak then use an old toothbrush to brush it clean. (I just got an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner so I am going to try dunking it in that next.) Sometimes i have to clean it during application which is very inconvenient, especially when I am mixing colors.
TRANSFERABILITY:
-Comparable to Airstockings, I saw little to no transfer.
MIXING COLORS:
-Mixing Nyce and Airstockings still gives a nice color with very little to no transfer.
-Mixing the Airstockings with Sally Hansen gives the nicest color (for me) and yields less transfer but there is still transfer nonetheless so I avoid using but when I am out of the either the Airstockings or Nyce, I will and just be more careful with transfer.
-I usually do a 50/50 mix just because its easier to spray them on my legs at the same time and can get consistent color through out, then blend them in quickly.
FINAL THOUGHTS
-Overall, I prefer to use the Airstockings and Nyce Instant Nylons to get the color I want, its a happy medium for me. If you find airstockings to pink, neutralize it, lighten or darken it with Nyce colors. If you find Nyce Colors too yellow, neutralize, lighten or darken with Airstockings and you, too, will find your happy medium. Although the lack of transfer is impressive, I'd still be wary and wouldn't push my luck. I have had some rub off on clothes but not sure if its because I didn't give it enough time to dry. Because I mixed them, I can't pin point which one it was. I have all the colors I mentioned I've tried except for the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Nude Glow, if I figure out how to add a picture, I'll add a picture of a sample of each on my leg to see the color differences.
Before it had a matte look which looked super natural on your legs, weather your inside or out it looked flawless!
And NOW it looks great indoors in the shade, away from BRIGHT light it looks beautiful! In dim light it is also beautiful but when i got out to the sun... to my suprise it was SOOO sparkly , i had to tell people it was jus tmy sparkly lotion. kinda emberassing but ehh other then that it works fine! BUT if YOU hate it
HERES MY ALTERNATIVE
Recently i discovered a product REALLY similar to the OLD FORMULA
It is called Studio 35, they sell it online at walgreens.com and it's way cheaper and it works just like the old one, maybe a bit diffrent but it gives you what you need. There is one with shimmer and WITHOUT it so thats good too.
So Sally hansens Works good but they should have an option weather u want sparkles or not haha
And Studio 35 has that option and it works VERY well.
Hope i helped some of you since it is a big problem since the new formula
P.S. i heard they changed it because it had Vitamin K which in the U.S. is not allowed to be sold over the counter
So i've heard but that's still really dumb because it worked just fine.
The bad thing is THE LACK OF VARIETY! Basically, I barely edged by on the color factor. I was the darkest color they had which is sad! Everyone of all color should be able to enjoy the product..at such as reasonable price at that!

The drug store ran out or discontinued this product, and I was relieved to find it on line! I need it for my work, makes your legs look so much better, but not streaked or orange. I need to get more!Best Deals for Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Medium Glow 4.4 oz.
This is the WORST product!!!! If you notice, all of the positive reviews are from at least a few years ago. Sally Hanson has since changed the formula. The original formula (which is discontinued and cannot be found anywhere) was amazing. Never streaked, sweat off. It made your legs look and feel flawless. I used it religiously for years until they came out with a new formula. It sweats off, smears on your clothes, chairs etc (I left an embarrasing orange powdery streak on my friends black leather car seats), and it just feels thick and sticky on your legs. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY UNLESS SALLY BRINGS THE ORIGINAL FORMULA BACK! You'll see the same kind of review as mine if you look on the Sally Hanson website itself. Awful product when it was once so amazing.Honest reviews on Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Medium Glow 4.4 oz.
-I am a light skinned hispanic and I am closer to neutral tones. Sometimes my legs look down right pasty, sometimes I have a tan, (occasionally from the sun, usually from sunless tanning sprays) so my color changes and I've also noticed my arms are always darker than my legs. (I am sure this is normal, I hope this is normal..)-In my opinion, all three offer great coverage.

Cheap Surgi-wax Assorted Maple Honey Wax Strips For Face Upper Lip, Chin
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $20.94
Sale Price: $17.22
Today's Bonus: 18% Off

I have thick course black hair with sensitive skin. It's not easy to find a waxing program that doesn't completely ruin my skin. I do get my face fully waxed once a month at the local spa but I still need something to do touch-ups in-between sessions, especially around my mouth and chin. (EDIT 4/5/11 I no longer get my face waxed by a professional, because I can do a much better, and precise, job with these strips.)
After two weeks I've got embarrassing hair showing-up around my upper and lower lip. Surgi's Maple Honey Strips are so gentle on my face and super easy to use! There's nothing to mix or heat! I'm so happy I've found something I can easily and, most importantly, effectively use between professional sessions.
Make sure your skin is clean and free of any oil. Don't take a hot shower right before using this product otherwise it could irritate your skin.
Vigorously rub the strip between your hands, until they get hot, to get the wax warm, then apply the strip to the face and continue to rub the strip in the direction the hair grows. I usually rub my hands for 30-seconds and then rub it on my face for another 30-seconds.
Make sure the strip is securely attached to the skin and hair. If the strip is moving around that means you have some type of oil on your skin, the strip will not work correctly. I use a 12x mirror to help me see where I'm placing the strip and to help me navigate around my face. I want to verify I'm not going over an area twice.
When I'm ready to rip the strip from my face, I hold the skin extremely taut and pull in the OPPOSITE direction that the hair grows. This step is key! Hold the skin taut in one direction and pull the strip in the other direction, quickly. Also, when you pull the strip off your face, do so by pulling it closer to you rather than lifting up and away. When you pull the strip taut and low, you really get the most effective use of the strip.
Don't be scared, it's not going to hurt (that much). If you're pulling the surface area of your skin taut, you'll experience a lot less pain, especially if you do it in a quick-n-low motion.
Do not reuse strips on new areas. The used strip has dead skin cells and hair on it, gross (just look at a used strip in a magnified mirror). You want to apply a clean strip to the new area so you don't run the risk of embedding bacteria back into your skin.
Try not to re-wax any areas you just waxed. You've just pulled a layer of skin off your face and re-waxing an area over could possibly cause irritation. If you wax correctly the first time you won't have to go over the same area twice. Instead of re-waxing stray hairs just puck them out. They'll come out easier because you've already tried to wax them out. You've loosened the hair, so it will more than likely slide-out easily with good quality tweezers.
I use Neutrogena cleansing towelettes, in the purple night-calming packet because they don't have alcohol, to gently dab up the excess wax / hair off my face. Don't rub the towelette over the freshly waxed area because it could cause irritate to the skin, just gently dab. (EDIT 4/5/11 I now use Garnier's Nutri-Pure Oil-Free Detoxifying Wet Cleansing Towelettes.)
Afterward, to help further calm my face I use a HYDRATING mask to ease any redness. Hey, you've just ripped skin and hair off your face, you're going to get some type of irritation. The hydrating mask, don't use a clay mask because it will draw all the moisture from your face and possibly cause irritation, will rehydrate your skin with needed moisture.
I use Aveda's hydrating mask but you can find hydrating masks at the drugstore. Surgi includes a soothing gel. I like my hydrating mask better, because it's thick and I can feel it repairing the damage to my face. The hydrating mask makes my face feel comfortably warm with a gentle sensation. It has the same effect as aloe. I bet an aloe mask would work just as well.
Also, don't do anything for the rest of the day that's going to make your face sweat. The sweat will cause irritation, and possibly cause a rash or a whitehead outbreak. Don't take a hot shower right before or after you use the strips, that can cause irritation. Also, don't go out and lay in the sun afterward, that could cause irritation as well.
It's really best to wax before bed then your skin has time to recuperate. You want your skin to be in a state of calm before you use the strips. I feel that's when I get the best results. I leave the mask on overnight. The mask is absorbed by your skin so there's only a thin of residue in the morning.
If for some reason you have continued irritation, even after doing every correctly, apply some maximum strength Cortizone-10 to your skin. You can find that over the counter at the drugstore. That has aloe and medication. Why the irritation? Maybe your skin wasn't in a healthy state? If you have sun damage, don't wax. Don't wax pimples or existing rashes. Wax only healthy skin. Otherwise, you'll probably experience a negative reaction to your already damaged skin.
I'm probably much more cautious than most when waxing, but my skin is extremely sensitive. It's taken me a long time to figure out how to effectively remove hair from my face. It's an embarrassing distraction for a woman, to me, to have unattractive dark facial hair. These strips are a godsend to my sensitive skin!
Anyhow, take your time, it's worth it because you'll have a super smooth pretty face for weeks. Half a box will do my whole face, for me each box has two full applications. Happy waxing! :)

The hydrating mask, don't use a clay mask because it will draw all the moisture from your face and possibly cause irritation, will rehydrate your skin with needed moisture.
I use Aveda's hydrating mask but you can find hydrating masks at the drugstore. Surgi includes a soothing gel. I like my hydrating mask better, because it's thick and I can feel it repairing the damage to my face. The hydrating mask makes my face feel comfortably warm with a gentle sensation. It has the same effect as aloe. I bet an aloe mask would work just as well.
Also, don't do anything for the rest of the day that's going to make your face sweat. The sweat will cause irritation, and possibly cause a rash or a whitehead outbreak. Don't take a hot shower right before or after you use the strips, that can cause irritation. Also, don't go out and lay in the sun afterward, that could cause irritation as well.
It's really best to wax before bed then your skin has time to recuperate. You want your skin to be in a state of calm before you use the strips. I feel that's when I get the best results. I leave the mask on overnight. The mask is absorbed by your skin so there's only a thin of residue in the morning.
If for some reason you have continued irritation, even after doing every correctly, apply some maximum strength Cortizone-10 to your skin. You can find that over the counter at the drugstore. That has aloe and medication. Why the irritation? Maybe your skin wasn't in a healthy state? If you have sun damage, don't wax. Don't wax pimples or existing rashes. Wax only healthy skin. Otherwise, you'll probably experience a negative reaction to your already damaged skin.
I'm probably much more cautious than most when waxing, but my skin is extremely sensitive. It's taken me a long time to figure out how to effectively remove hair from my face. It's an embarrassing distraction for a woman, to me, to have unattractive dark facial hair. These strips are a godsend to my sensitive skin!
Anyhow, take your time, it's worth it because you'll have a super smooth pretty face for weeks. Half a box will do my whole face, for me each box has two full applications. Happy waxing! :)

I have very sensitive skin and all other hair removal strips that I have used really sting and leave a rash. Not Surgi! I love the results and the ease in using them. No fuss, no muss and very effective. Only brand I use.Best Deals for Surgi-wax Assorted Maple Honey Wax Strips For Face Upper Lip, Chin
For my face, I have previously used regular waxing with strips or hard wax with good results. I decided to try this and see if it would be a bit simpler. I read all the instruction, made sure my skin was clean and got started. Warmed them, applied them, let them sit a minute and then.....yanked. Some hair was removed and some hair was left behind. For me more of the finer hair was removed and the tougher ones stayed put. Also there was a sticky residue left behind. In the end I had to finish up with the tweezers to get all the hair removed. For me this product was a bust.Honest reviews on Surgi-wax Assorted Maple Honey Wax Strips For Face Upper Lip, Chin
These are the best wax strips I have ever used. The material is softer than the ones at the salon. I've tried Parissa wax and although they are okay, they can not compete with Surgi! Surgi takes off the most amount of hair while feeling that your skin is still in tact while you rip off the strip. :)Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Surgi-wax Assorted Maple Honey Wax Strips For Face Upper Lip, Chin
I think I've found a hair removal product that will work for me. These wax strips are very easy to use and inexpensive. They did a great job of removing almost all the hair where applied (very coarse hairs had to be tweezed). There was a little redness afterwards, but that has cleared up and I don't seem (8 hours later) to have any other side effects. This seems like an effective alternative to daily tweezing and very expensive salon waxing. Yay!Wednesday, April 23, 2014
Reviews of Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Airbrush Spray Makeup Light to Medium
I live in Los Angeles and had to drive to quite a few CVS's before I found the DARK color of the Airbrush makeup. Price in LA is $13.99.
Got home and tried on. Loved the lightness and coverage of it, BUT the dark color was actually beige. They consider dark skin
tones to be someone like Haley Berry. I am closer to Trya Banks, so the color was way too light. Had to return. Wish they had
actual shades for darker skinned women.

Sally Hansen Anti-Redness Recovery Lotion 1.13oz./32g Reviews
even though it's for redness, i kind of also needed it to moisturize. was dissapointed when it didn't do that as well.This product is truly great! I love it! If you have a harsh drying facial cleanser this is a great mousterizer to follow it up with. Although when you first apply it it makes your skin a little more red don't be frightened let it dry and the redness nearly disappears! This is very gentle and can be used daily. Another great thing is that it is so cheap! Lol :)

Reviews of Sally Hansen Firming Leg Shine
I had purchased this product a while back at Walmart and it was no longer available at the store and had resorted to using only on special occasions when I began to run low. I took a chance, googled it and VIOLA! I ordered 10 tubes. It's not greasy and gives you just a bit of color and shine, skin feels smooth and looks sexy. Great product, great price!

I love this cream, it is great for my legs! I like it because it makes my legs look beautiful.Best Deals for Sally Hansen Firming Leg Shine
This product works really well over the Sally Hansen leg makeup, or by itself. Good for a special occasion in the summer when you want your legs to look especially great.Honest reviews on Sally Hansen Firming Leg Shine
This product provides a subtle shine and it's not greasy/oily. There's also a slight tint that provides a little shimmer to your legs. I didn't feel any tingling or detect that my legs looked firmer but my legs look smooth with a healthy glow which is good enough. For best results, dry brush legs before showering/shaving and then apply this product. I do wish this product included sunscreen protection.
