I bought some of these after I broke my right elbow and was not able to touch my face with that hand, especially to wash it. I love the fresh scent, and I love the fact that they come in a box while most other cloths I've seen do not. But as others have complained, I don't really feel like they get my face totally clean. And after using them for several days straight, my face started to break out a little bit. They're handy for certain things and ok to use in moderation, but nothing to rely on for taking care of your face.

I was super stoked about this lip color, I bought it in Midori Glam. I thought it would look like the color on the fancy display that shows what it will look like after you apply both coats, like a cool dark pink with some yellow sparkle on top, but it didn't. The yellow sparkly topcoat was invisible over the pink basecoat, so it looked like I didn't even have the topcoat on at all. Also, the pink transferred from my lips onto the wand and into the yellow gloss, and that is one of my biggest pet peeves. To top it off, the resulting pink gloss on my lips didn't last longer than an hour. And it irritated my lips, which are slightly dry all the time. I'm pretty mad I fell for this one.

This is the shampoo and conditioner my stepmom uses, and I have to be honest and say that whenever I take a shower over there I totally steal some. The smell is alright, it's a little bright and springy for me, but I LOVE the conditioner because it doesn't weigh down my hair AT ALL...I look in the mirror before blowdrying and my hair has all kinds of cool waves and volume to it, that I actually don't even want to blow my hair straight after using it. I can't really speak to the color protection part just because I use it like twice a year. But it's always a pleasure. :)

I tried this self tanner, even for several days in a row, and I have not been able to see that it makes a difference in the color of my skin. I have tried it for weeks on end, alternating days with a regular lotion, and also sometimes for like a week straight with no days off, and I have never seen any color develop. I have had good results with other lotions, so this stuff doesn't cut it for me.

I used this a couple days ago, and I bought the one that is a medium golden brown. The shade was supposed to be pretty close to my natural hair color, and I just wanted to cover my roots because my highlights have grown out a lot. I left it on for the recommended time, and it turned out WAY darker than what the box said. It's a super dark brown, almost black, and I can't really see a golden undertone to it. The color looks nothing like what's on the box. I guess on the plus side, it didn't thrash my hair, and thank GOD it's a temporary color. I guess I'll just keep shampooing every day and hope that soon the color is where the box said it would be.

I love Soap and Glory products, and this wash is ok. People seem to be raving about the fragrance, which I think is alright, but kind of bothers me so far. I think it kind of smells like guys' aftershave, which is not too appealing to me, and aftershave is something I really had problems with when I had morning sickness! This is a huge bottle of body wash though, and was not super cheap, so I'm trying to give it a chance. It definitely does the job though, and has the perfect balance of moisturizing my skin but not too much, and not leaving it feeling dried out.

This line of lipglosses has awesome colors and scents and all that, I like the way they look when you put them on, and they last for a long time. My only complaint, which is probably a pretty common one, is that they're pretty dang sticky...which is the WORST on a windy day when you put some on and then go outside, and then your hair gets stuck to your mouth. Not cool. Otherwise, awesome gloss.

I've used both this remover and Almay's moisturizing makeup remover (the one with oil in it), and I was not at all impressed with this one. It didn't remove my waterproof mascara hardly at all, even after scrubbing and scrubbing, and I still had raccoon eyes for like 2 days. It also made my eyes sting a bit. I chucked it and bought the moisturizing version again, and it was such a relief to have something that I knew would work. Oil is kind of obnoxious in makeup remover, but to me it's a small price to pay for something that actually takes off my makeup.

I really like the color this turns on me. I am such a lipgloss junkie. It's almost perfect, except that if I reapply it a few times in a row, it seems to irritate the area around my lips a bit. It's also way more economical, but doesn't last as long as the Smashbox version. Pretty good for the price though.

I had my makeup for my wedding done at Ulta, and when I told the girl that my skin gets crazy shiny after a few hours every day, she put this on underneath the foundation. It was AMAZING, after she put the foundation on my skin felt tighter and I could feel that it absorbed all the oil that was already there. And my face did not get shiny at all that day, which I was super stoked about. My only issue is that this is wayyyy too expensive for me, so I unfortunately probably won't be purchasing any :(
