I was really surprised by the consistency of this product when it came out of the can. It is much creamier than a typical foamy mousse--it actually looks just like whipped cream, which is kind of fun. It felt very moisturizing as I applied it, but I was skeptical that it would add any volume to my long, fine hair. After blowdrying, my hair felt soft and moisturized, and it stayed that way until my next shampoo. It added a surprising amount of volume, but the volume didn't last as long as it does with my usual mousse (my roots were pretty flat by the next morning). Still, I loved how soft my hair was--no crunch factor! I have not tried scrunching my hair with this product yet, since my hair is pretty straight and scrunching doesn't usually work very well for me. However, I definitely love how it worked for a blowout!

I love having a tube of this gloss in my purse. It's moisturizing enough to act like a lip balm, but has a high-shine gloss effect as well. It's never sticky, so I don't have to worry about my hair getting stuck in it as has been known to happen with other gloss brands. I also love the minty flavor, and it doesn't wear off as fast as some glosses. I work in a laboratory and can't keep lip products at my desk, so it's nice to have a product that I can reapply after lunch and know that it will last for the rest of the day. The tint is nicely subtle, and a little goes a long way--I use the product multiple times a day, and one tube still lasts me for months. A great buy!

This is one of my favorite flavors of the mentha lip shines. It's unique and tasty, with a warm tingle. Like the other varieties of mentha lip shine, it has a high gloss without stickiness, is very moisturizing, and lasts decently long. I would definitely purchase it again. I only wish it came in a tinted formula!

I like this line of lip gloss in general, but I didn't care for this flavor. I usually love black cherry-flavored things, but this didn't really taste like black cherry to me. It has a strange, almost licorice-like taste. Other than that, it's a decent lip gloss: good shine, very moisturizing, and decent staying power. I would definitely go for the other flavor choices, though,

Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Eye Makeup Remover Towelettes
Decent, but not strong enough for eye makeup
I use these as an allover cleansing cloth when I'm not wearing much makeup and don't feel like lathering up at night. I also use them when traveling. They work fine for those circumstances, but I find that they don't really remove all my eye makeup. I usually need to use a separate eye makeup remover pad if I'm wearing any eyeliner. The cloths are also rather flimsy, and I'm not a huge fan of the scent. They leave my skin feeling nice--not too greasy or dry. I might purchase them again, but I plan to try other brands first.

This is the only polish I use. Great colors, and high quality. When I paint my toes with OPI, it always lasts a month without chipping. Fantastic!

I did not care for this fragrance at all. The initial scent was much too sweet for my taste--I found the fruity/berry note overpowering. It mellowed after a few hours, and it smelled ok at that point, but the scent was so faint that I could only smell it if I literally held my nose right up to my arm. I would not purchase it in the future.

I have tried a lot of different self-tanning creams, and this is my current favorite. I get a natural color with one application, without any streaks or blotchiness. It also lasts up to a week with one application, and if I apply it a few times a week, I can build to a darker color. It definitely has that characteristic DHA smell, but it's not as bad as some formulas. The cover-up scent is decent and not overpowering. My only complaint is that the lotion has a tint to it, which can rub off on clothing and bedding. It might be a nice addition if you like some instant color, but I usually apply self-tanner at night so I would prefer a non-tinted formula.

This is one of the only vegan antiperspirans on the market. It works great, doesn't irritate my skin, and has the added bonus of being fragrance-free so it doesn't interfere with my perfume. It's the only antiperspirant I use.

I love trying new beauty innovations and was really intrigued by the unusual applicator (a small, spherical brush with rubber "bristles"), but it really didn't live up to its claims. This was one of the clumpiest mascaras I have ever used. Even after I wiped most of the product of the applicator with a tissue, it still made my lashes horribly clumpy--ironic since it claims it will "separate every little lash." Also, the tiny applicator makes for a very long application process. It took forever to coat all my lashes because I could only do a small area at a time. I didn't really think it helped get into the corner lashes any more than a normal mascara brush, either. The color and shine level were fine, and it made my lashes look longer, but no more than any other decent mascara. I would definitely not purchase this product in the future.
