I absolutely love this stuff. I would recommend this to any person that has frizz. It makes my hair feel so silky smoothe. I started using it about 2 months ago and cannot stand to go without it. Just use a little because it can make your hair look oily if you use too much and don't put it close to the scalp either for the same reason. I tried the Chi Silk Infusion because I thought they would be the same since they are both made by Farouk but the Chi is not nearly as good. I would give this 100 stars I could.
I have longish wavy hair that I color occasionally. My hair tends to frizz up and look frazzled out, even though I never use a blow dryer. I have tried a lot of different hair-smoothing products, from shampoos to conditioners to leave-in lotions.
But this stuff! It makes my hair sleek and silky in a way that no over-the-counter stuff I have ever found could. It's not goopy or gel-ly or oily like many anti-frizz products. I think it's silicone-based, so it just slithers onto your hair and then makes it look like a '70s shampoo commercial. (If I also use a straightening wand for special occasions, it looks like "princess hair.")
My hair also feels about 500% softer than it does without it. Not just subtly softer, if you're paying close attention, but like the difference between those new kind of plush toys that have extra-silky fur, compared to the old-fashioned kind of stuffed-animal fur. (I've had guys compliment me on the softness of my hair since I started using it.)
This is a "desert-island" product for me!
I had a shampoo-sized bottle (not sure of the exact ounces) and it lasted nearly two years.
I've been using this product for a while. First time using it was ok, but noticed flaky scalp and little scabs. After several shampoos I noticed build up on my hair as well.
Anyway I looked it up: [...] and it's a 7 on the toxic rating (0-10) so I am no longer going to use it.
Most people have no idea what gets absorbed into the body through the skin.....
I love biolage and this shampoo and conditioner doesn't weigh down my hair too much and is great for color. My color isn't fading as fast and most of all the scent of this product is great! I love the way it smells.
My 6 year old daughter has hair to her waist. Combing wet hair has been a horrible and painful experience, until we were told about this brush by our hair stylist. It is AMAZING. I am able to comb thru her wet hair, even when it looks like a tangled mess! It is painless and quick! I cannot say enough about this! I bought it from a salon for $20 and would do it again...so this price is awesome!
This brush was a gamble of a buy. I was looking for a good solution to make brushing mine and my daughters' hair less of a pain, and I htought I'd try the Wet Brush. The gamble paid off, b/c somehow this brush is effective and relatively painless. I'm not sure what is special about it. The bristles are a little soft...but not extremely, they still get through your hair. It feels like maybe it's not working at first, b/c, no pain, then, before you know it, the tangles are out. I'm considering getting a second one so we can keep one in the shower, and one on the dresser.
I ultimately decided to give this item 4 stars for the following reasons:
Disadvantages:
1. The diamond pieces were very small and hard to see
2. The diamond quality was not that good
Advantages:
1. The bracelet is elegant looking
2. It purportedly has a total carat weight of no less than 2 carats
3. There is nothing even comparable that I could find that comes even close to this cheap price for 2 carats worth of diamonds!
To conclude, it is nice, not fantastic, but it is definitely great value for money when compared to other similar products.
This is a great anytime gift. Its affordable, authentic, and fashionable. Got it for the wife around Christmas time and she loves it!
Like many other reviewers I am not a professional photographer, and this is my first digital camera. I do like taking pictures though and I've dealt with a few nice film cameras and some nice Fujifilm cameras (a P;S, 'bridge camera' and a DSLR) and I feel like this camera is most definitely worth the price. The X500 is a bridge camera, almost a SLR and almost a point and shoot. But it boasts some great specs and features that you cannot find anywhere in this price range.
Pros. The 16 megapixel sensor is great. Most entry level cameras of any type and brand start off at about 12 MP right now. GE has this model at 16. I think the other 16 MP cameras are over twice the price of this one. You can see the difference when you zoom in on your computer, the clarity is apparent.
The zoom on the X500 is awesome. This camera has 15X optical zoom and along with digital zoom (digital zoom takes away image quality as you zoom in so just keep that in mind when using it) it has a total of 60X zoom.
The X500 has a panoramic mode which I love because I wanted a panoramic film camera and now I don't have to buy one. This camera also has a setting for everything from fireworks to snow to fisheye. More than just night and outdoors.. there are 20 different presets and thats not including the different modes the camera has for shooting (it has manual, very important!)
So far I've taken 100+ pictures and the battery is still full on the display. The manual says it'll shoot 300+ pictures on a set of 4 batteries... thats pretty good.
Not a pro for some, but this camera is a bit hefty. I like it because its like you are actually holding onto something. But it is heavier than I thought it would be.
Viewfinders are sometimes left out of cameras now because they all have screens, but this one has an electronic viewfinder (for those sunny days) I think thats a nice perk.
The video quality is better than I expected, though its not HD. The sound is so-so but thats the case on everything with a recorder.
Cons. The screen resolution and quality isn't the greatest (I have a 3 year old Creative mp3 player that has a much nicer screen and it's smaller.) Like most cameras though you look at the screen and its grainy and the color doesn't look quite right but you snap the picture/ upload and it looks like it should when its on the computer screen (or printed out.) I think they had to cut corners somewhere.
The lens pops out when you turn it on and the lens cap pops off, even if you just want to look at the pictures on your SD. And I also do not like the lens cap. It just slides on. No clips.
The sound effects were annoying, but theres a setting to turn it off (saves your battery anyway.)
Not a biggie but the SD slot is in the battery compartment. Just out of the way I guess.
The camera is a bit noisy, you can hear the processor working and the internal stuff moving around at times. More of a side note than a con though.
Bottom line is I'm not sure how long the X500 will last (because I got it in the mail two days ago) but so far I'm very glad that I bought this camera. It's a lot like Fuji's bridge camera and if you know the menus and buttons from their cameras then this thing will be a snap because its pretty much a carbon copy. The layout is simple enough for a beginner or teen who's looking into photography and it wont break the bank like a nikon or canon with the same specs.
I had purchased this specifically because I was doing a lot of hiking during an extended trip, and I wanted more than the 4x zoom on my cheap Nikon Coolpix S4000. Since at home my wife has a very nice DSLR with multiple lenses, I didn't want to buy a another DSLR or spend a lot of money on a nicer bridge camera. The previous version of this camera got good reviews, so bought this one just after it had came out.
Out of the box, the camera seems pretty solid, although the compact (but FAT) build is a little weird and takes some getting used to. I initially did a comparison to my $130 12MP Coolpix point-and-shoot, and immediately saw some issues with the photo quality. Like other reviews have stated, indoor pictures are not great, but actually not as bad as some. My Coolpix (like most point and shoot cameras) had some problems as well, but the quality was still noticeably better than the GE. When using the indoor program mode, the shots were acceptable. The outdoor shots were better, but not super great, either. Comparing the same shots with my Coolpix, the Nikon had consistently better pictures.
While for most this wouldn't be too much of a problem, when viewing the photos and zooming in past 100%, there is significant pixel noise on the GE. Again, comparing to my 12MP Coolpix, the same shot at the same zoom had significantly less noise on my Nikon than the GE. Overall, the biggest problem was the inconsistency of the photos. Even using the same settings only a few seconds apart, there were often differences in the exposure, balance, etc. My hundreds of outdoor shots were all over the place in terms of quality. The shots often had a washed-out appearance (which could be fixed in post-processing if necessary).
I took the GE on several hiking trips, and took hundreds of photos, using different program modes and settings, which improved the quality overall, but did not eliminate the inconsistency issue. The zoom was quick and the image stabilization worked very well. The battery life was excellent (although I did not use the flash too much). The focus is moderately quick compared to most point and shoot cameras, although slower than my Nikon. The video mode was poor, but that was expected. I also used the GE in a couple of museums, and using the Museum program mode, it took surprisingly good shots. I also toured an indoor wildlife museum, and using the flash it took some very fine pictures.
Unfortunately, after viewing all of the pictures, I decided to return the camera. I don't necessarily want to talk anyone out of buying this...for most casual users, this camera can take good shots, and the 15x zoom is awesome at this price. For still pictures, outdoor and lit indoor shots, the photo quality is fine (especially using the program modes or manual controls). To get this level of control and zoom, you're going to be paying over $200 for something else, and probably over $300 for anything really significantly better. However, as I often print my photos for framing, the inconsistent quality and extreme noise, even compared to my cheap Nikon, left me wanting a bit more.
PROS-
- 15x zoom works very well
- Many different program modes and manual controls, which work well
- Great battery life and uses easy-to-get AA batteries
- Photo quality can be fairly good under right conditions, and most issues could be fixed with post-processing (i.e. Photoshop, etc.)
- Inexpensive for a good zoom and feature packed camera
CONS-
- Lots of noise when zoomed in (pixel peeking)
- Inconsistent picture quality
