I have this in the unscented version, which there's not a page for that, so I will write it here! This is a decent moisturizer, and it's true that a little goes a long way! It takes a little while longer to make it feel like it's all rubbed in than other facial moisturizers, but once it's in, it's light and non-greasy. It's also a HUGE bottle for not a whole lot of $, and very safe in terms of ingredients! The only thing is that while it doesn't make my breakouts worse (at least I don't think), it's not doing much to prevent them either!

Tom's of Maine Natural Antiplaque Tartar Control & Whitening Toothpaste
could be my new toothpaste brand!
I decided to try a natural toothpaste after reading about all the scary ingredients in just about every product we all use, so I bought this one in Peppermint for the extra benefits of whitening and tarter control and all that. I thought it would be sweet to have a safer toothpaste with all the crime-fighting power of the traditional stuff I've used all my life. This is harder to get used to because it doesn't have the artificial flavoring that everything else has, and because it's natural, it doesn't keep your breath Listerine-fresh all day long. But I'm ok with that. It gets the job done, and now that I'm used to the flavor, I feel good knowing that I'm doing something better for myself. Now whenever I use a traditional toothpaste it tastes way too sweet, and fake, and scary. I might be Tom's for life.

This is my new fave eye makeup remover. It's like steel wool for your eyes without the excruciating pain that steel wool would cause. You put some on your finger then massage it on and around your eye, then wipe clean with a cotton ball! It removes every stitch of my makeup and leaves nothing behind. It takes a little more work to take off waterproof mascara, but still works like 10 times better than anything else I've tried. I have this one mascara that bleeds really easily, and when I remove it with this, I look like Alice Cooper before I wipe it off. It's that good.

For me, this is the perfect razor. For the first few shaves, you can just get after it without worrying about having to go really lightly or else gouge yourself, like has happened to me with using a brand new cartridge of other popular brands (ahem, *venus*...cough cough). But because of that, this blade doesn't last as long before it needs to be changed. And these cartridges are more expensive than other brands. So for me, that's a pretty big drawback. If they were a couple bucks cheaper, this would be my go-to for the rest of time.

I bought this as part of a 3 piece kit from Target, and the price was right! I got a full size of this wash, a full size eye gel, and a mini tub of the facial moisturizer. I like this wash ok, I'm not blown away by it, but it does ok for my skin. I'm prone to breakouts once in a while, and while this doesn't cause me to break out, it doesn't do anything to fix my skin if I do have some issues with it. But it also doesn't claim to help with acne. It's a nice, basic clean. The fragrance is also nice, but a little bit more potent than I would like. Overall, this is a decent all around wash.

This body wash is ok I guess. I don't find it to be super moisturizing, and less so than other naturally based body washes that I've used. The scent is kind of ok, but it a weird way it smells like the hallway from my high school 10 years ago where the swimming pool was. Which is kind of strange. And it doesn't lather hardly at all, I started using it with a sea sponge thing I bought instead of my mesh pouf, because the mesh just scratched the crap out of my skin and totally negated any moisturizing effects this body wash had because it has no lather. Wow, I guess I don't really have anything too nice to say about this.

This is part of my 6-piece lipgloss rotation in my purse...not really a rotation I guess, but I have a bunch of different ones and just grab one when I need some glossiness. This smells nice and moisturizes well, but I've noticed that if I use several times straight, my lips get irritated and start peeling a little bit. I'm prone to my lips freaking out if I'm not careful. Overall though, this is a pretty nice gloss.

I really like this conditioner. It leaves my hair soft and hydrated, but not overly so. My hair is really prone to getting greasy, so I was kind of worried when I bought this shampoo and conditioner because in all honesty, I bought it for the smell :) This is the perfect balance for my hair though. My only gripe is that the conditioner is SO thick, it's hard to get out of the bottle unless you store the bottle upside down. It should come in a bottle that dispenses from the bottom. But good other than that little technicality.

This shampoo and conditioner is marketed as being really hydrating and nourishing, but I have to agree that this shampoo isn't. It gets my hair really, really squeaky clean, which is actually a good thing for me because my hair gets pretty greasy, but I can understand the frustration of other people hoping for something moisturizing! I like it, but not because it is what it says it is! So I guess that's not so good, haha.

This is the second eye gel I've tried, and it's way safer in terms of ingredients than the one I had before, which shall remain nameless. And it works just as well! I'm not sure that it helps dark circles go away, and don't expect it to do anything for wrinkles, but when I put it on it makes me feel like I DIDN'T just roll out of bed. And now in the morning I don't feel quite right if for some reason I forgot to use it. I bought it as part of a 3 piece kit at Target for $20, so it was an awesome deal. And I know it will last a long time because after like 2 months I haven't even made a dent in it.
