Curls Sample Kit Review


This is my review of a few Curls items that I purchased in a sample Kit. I bought the kit at Target and I've learned that this was a Target exclusive.  The kit retails for $19.99 though I accidentally got it for about $15. There were four 3oz products in the kit: Creamy Curl Cleanser, Coconut Curlada Conditioner, Lavish Curls Moisturizer, Cashmere Curl Jelly. I was able to use the entire kit twice and I used a few of the items more than twice. Plus I still have some product in a couple of the bottles.

 Here are my thoughts on each of these items. And please let me know if you've used this line.
Also, I have a few pictures below. I accidentally deleted some of the photos on my camera before uploading them to my computer :(

I have also listed the ingredients to all of the products. And although, at first glance, these ingredients look like potential harmful chemicals, they actually fare pretty well on EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetic Database.
This database rates the possible harmfulness of products and ingredients on a scale of 0-10 (low harzard to high hazard). Though I could not find individual Curls products on this list, I was able to search ingredients - most of them averaged a 3 or lower.





After using the entire line - nice definition but felt pretty dry
