Silk Amino Acids - lost interest and didn't repurchase

Aubrey's Honeysuckle Rose & Rose Mosqueta - Keepers...loved these!

Silicon Mix original - liked it, but not for long term use

Biotin supplements - broke out my skin - didn't drink enough water to continue using

Evening Primrose Oil supplements - messed with my menstrual cycle (irregular) and made my twin peaks sore. Didn't repurchase

WEN - expensive, ineffective, expensive, and expensive

Aloe Vera gel - I think I used this incorrectly...gave me horrible tangles. Tossed in the trash

JBCO - too heavy to use on my hair daily, so I use this in other ways

Mineral Rich liquid - stopped using because I propelled myself everywhere I went

my poor pocketbook...
