Tresemme Thermal Creations Protective Spray Heat Tamer
This doesn't seem to be doing anything for my hair...
It doesn't help with styling, doesn't seem to protect my hair from heat, or anything else. It's affordable, but since it doesn't seem to be doing anything, I'm kind of disappointed. The spray apparatus is easier to use than traditional liquid sprays, but also a little awkward. I probably will not be repurchasing this.

This stuff smells weird, looks weird, and doesn't moisturize well--my skin feels greasy but not moisturized (not even sure how that's possible). My grandma loves it, but I can't stand it.

I have these in the "Peach" one (lemon/citrus scent) and the Hottie one (peppery musky vanilla). I prefer the citrus scented one but both are great. My boyfriend and I both love using them because they're a fun and inexpensive way to have a luxurious massage experience at home. They last forever because you only need to use a little bit. They feel great on the skin. The only downsides are that you'll be greasy afterwards (you'll probably need to towel off or take a shower), and that LUSH doesn't make tins that fit all of the bars. I will definitely keep repurchasing these and can't wait to try out other scents!

The Hottie massage bar has a peppery musky scent to it. While I don't LOVE the fragrance, it did grow on me, and I find it alright. I LOVE the nubs, which feel great during a massage. The bar melts easily (some might say too easily, but I expected a little mess), and has a nice smooth texture. It is a little messy post massage, and you'll need to towel off or shower afterward. It leaves your skin feeling super moisturized, but won't break you out. It is unfortunate that there isn't a LUSH tin that is big enough to hold this bar though... cuz you'll need something to store it in. It lasts awhile too--you only need to use a little for each massage because the oil stays nice and slick and doesn't get sticky or require more to be applied. Overall, I like it and might even buy it again, but will definitely continue to buy some of the other massage bars from LUSH!

I love this product! My lips are super dry from Accutane and I need to apply product every hour or so. Although I had been skeptical (I thought that Aquaphor was just another petroleum product like Vaseline, and I'd already tried tons of lip balms to soothe my lips), I decided to give Aquaphor a shot because of all of the MUA reviews. I'm really glad I did, because Aquaphor works great. PROS: Works great on lips and hands. The first time I applied it, I could feel my lips absorbing it, but without tingling or burning. My hands felt fantastic after applying. Does seem to work better than Carmex, Chapstick (regular, peppermint or moisturizing varieties) and better than my rose salve. CONS: The convenient travel-size tubes are a little spendy, especially compared to the larger bottle (It's about $6 for two little 0 .35 oz tubes). I did need to start rotating this product w/chapstick b/c after a few days, the Aquaphor didn't feel as effective. Also, I use this on my tattoos as they're healing, It's great stuff, and keeps them from itching and getting dried out and flaky during the healing process. My tattoo artist recommended it and that's what I'm sticking with! Overall, if you have really really chapped lips, this is a HG product! (I almost went into a panic when I thought I'd lost a tube, if that's any indication of how important this stuff is to a dry-lipped lady!)

I used to love this stuff! My mom and aunts would let me have the little travel sized bottles from the gift with purchase bags. It does a good job of removing waterproof mascara and other eye products, and the packaging is nice and sturdy. However, it does leave my skin feeling a little greasy, and I wouldn't want to use it on my whole face, so I definitely have to use a facial cleanser afterwards. It is also a bit expensive, since many drugstore brands now have comparable products for a fraction of the price. Additionally I'd rather just use one product to remove makeup on my whole face, so I've switched over to makeup wipes followed by bar soap. Still one of my all time faves, but not #1.

Bath & Body Works True Blue Spa Shea Cashmere Hand Cream
Feels so good on my hands, but the scent is a little strong.
I tried this out at in store and was amazed at how smooth my hands felt afterward! They didn't feel greasy either. The price was pretty reasonable, and the packaging is elegant and spa-like, but I felt like the scent was overpowering. My two best friends eagerly bought a tube for themselves, but I prefer hand creams that are mildly scented.

PROS: I love the metal tube and apothecary-like packaging. Doesn't leak,, nice and sturdy and I can throw it in my purse or totebag without worrying it'll get everywhere. Nice scent, but not overpowering. Leaves my hands feeling moisturized but not greasy. CONS: Pretty expensive for a little tube! Overall, it is a bit spendy, but the quality is amazing. I should really stop trying to find a cheaper hand cream because the good ones do cost a bit more, and this one is worth it.

PROS: Smells great--like real lemons. Affordable. Sturdy metal tin that doesn't leak product. I love the old-fashioned style and lemon illustration on the front. Does help moisturize dry cuticles. CONS: Can leave fingers feeling greasy.Overall, this product is good maybe as a night treatment, especially with some gloves, but I didn't like using it during the day--I felt like I was getting it on papers and other things I touched!

I own the Book of Shadows II, the Naked palette, and several of the regular "sewer cover" style single eyeshadows like the ones pictured. While there are a few shades that I would consider duds, almost all of the eyeshadows from Urban Decay are AMAZING. The pigmentation is rich, the consistency is smooth and never chalky, the packaging is cool and edgy yet sturdy, it lasts all day, and while a bit spendy, is worth every penny. While I'm not a fan of glittery shadows for everyday wear, Urban Decay makes some real glitter bombs (which is good or bad, depending on your preferences). They have a wide array of colors--an entire rainbow, really. You can find great everyday shadows that are perfect for the office (neutrals in both matte and shimmer), as well as over the top, going out clubbing shades!
