Carol's Daughter Monoi Oil Sacred Strengthening Serum
Carol's Daughter Monoi Oil Sacred Strengthening Serum
I have heard of Carol's Daughter products, but have never used them so I was excited to try something new. I have used hair oil before with good results so kind of had an idea of what to expect. I was neither impressed nor unimpressed with this product, it really made no difference for me. It did leave my hair soft and smooth but as far as repairing damage I am not sure I used it long enough to obtain those results. It had a really good, natural smell and it absorbed into my hair without leaving it feeling heavy or greasy. I actually use another spray hair oil treatment that I prefer over this one as it is easier to apply and I feel like the results are noticeable instantly. I have heard really good things about this product, so maybe it is just me. I do have long, thick waist length hair that has a slight natural wave and I have done my fair share of coloring, curling, and straightening. I am not sure if I would recommend this product, it might work better for someone else but I would probably take it or leave it.

I had high hopes for this product because the name sounded like it would make my skin look amazing. Unfortunately, I am not sure exactly what it does. While it is tinted, it did not offer any coverage at all. I could still see every single pimple and acne scar. It did not even out redness or my skin tone either. It did not have sunscreen in it so I am not sure what the enviro-shield stands for. I actually ended up putting my regular beauty balm (with sunscreen) on over this so that my skin looked decent enough to go outside. I did not see any coverage, it didn't make my skin look nicer at all. I actually did not notice any change and I am pretty disappointed. It's supposed to self adjust to my skin tone but it was invisible to me, so I didn't have much faith left in any of its other claims. I would not recommend this product and would not use it again. I am not even sure what it is supposed to do for you.

I was excited to try this product because I have heard a lot of good things about it. I like the retro-look packaging and the product has a slight tint to it. It feels thick, almost like a hair product. It blended into my skin effortlessly but I did not really notice a change. It did not look as dewy (oily) as it usually does, so I am assuming that it sucked up some of the oil and for that I give it stars. As far as pores, I guess I don't really have a huge issue with that so I did not notice much of a change. Also the tint was a little misleading because I assumed that it would even out my skin tone or at least add a little bit of coverage, but it didn't do that either. It did feel light and blended smoothly into my skin so I gave it points for that. I feel like it would work better for someone with normal skin because my skin is so oily this just felt like rubbing more heaviness into my skin. I would not use this product again just because I didn't see real results.

I was super excited to try these eye pads out because I have not ever used anything like this. I am in my late twenties and have been more focused on anti-aging lately so this product was perfect. The pads are pretty saturated with product and it smells fresh and nice. I applied them after washing my face and left them on for about 25 minutes. When I first put them on they blended right in with my skin and after they dried I could tell that it was time to take them off because they turned white. These things are amazing! I don't have issues with dark circles but I do sometimes get puffy under my eyes. These pads left my skin soft, smooth, and deflated. I looked refreshed and super awake. I would love to use these again!

I work at a school so I am constantly washing my hands and of course they tend to be a little dry, so I am always looking for a super moisturizing hand cream. This cream is thick and rich and left my hands feeling so amazingly soft! This one did the job and did it well. It smells great, left my skin soft and smooth, and moisturized without leaving my skin greasy. I feel like my hands actually looked a lot better after using it. The scent is great, I am used to lotions that usually smell like fruit or flowers so this was a great change. I would definitely recommend this product and I would use it again in the future.

Serious Skincare Glycolic Gommage Exfoliating Facial
Serious Skincare Glycolic Gommage Exfoliating Facial
I really enjoyed using this product. It actually smelled really expensive and luxurious. It has a gritty texture and it really does a great job at evening skin texture. The directions say to wash your face first dry it, then apply a thick even layer and let it soak in for ten minutes, before washing it off. My skin is super oily and I have adult acne so anything that makes it soft and smooth is a great thing to me. This did leave little rough dry patches around my breakouts, but nothing different than what my acne medications do. If you have dry or sensitive skin this might not be the product for you, but if you are looking to exfoliate than this product is perfect. I used it in the shower to make sure that I got all of the product off, it's probably easier than trying to rinse it off in the sink, especially around your hairline. Overall I would use this product again and I think it did exactly what it said it was going to do.

I had really high expectations after reading the name of this mascara and unfortunately this product did not meet them. The box claims that there is a 100% increase in both volume and length. I did have noticeably thicker lashes, but not longer and length is really what I look for in a good mascara. Supposedly the hourglass shape of the brush is what thickens and lengthens lashes but I just did not see it. I feel that is more of a gimmick. It did give me a natural look and was not too thick or clumpy, but nothing really stood out to me as amazing or wonderful. The packaging and bottle is cute, but that's about it. I almost did not feel like I was really wearing mascara and I love mascara and how it can make my lashes look super long. This product did not really do much so I guess if you are going for a super natural look this product would do that. It also claims to make lashes super dark which they were, but I have black lashes anyway. As far as living up to its claims of being smudge proof and lasting all day, it did not do that for me. I have mascara under my eyes as I am typing this review. I probably would not use this product again.

I have always heard good things about this cleanser but my oily, acne prone skin made me think that I needed lather and exfoliating acids in order to get clean skin. After two dermatologists recommended that I add this product to my routine, I decided to give it a try. First off I like that it comes in a pump as I feel that it keeps the product bacteria free as opposed to a bar of soap. I also liked the fact that it doesn't have a harsh scent. It doesn't lather like a typical soap but that means that it's not stripping your skin of moisture and natural oils. With most acne cleansers you have to be very careful not to get them in your eyes because of all of the chemicals in them. This cleanser is so gentle that you can actually wash your eye makeup off with it, without redness or irritation. If you normally have to buy a separate eye makeup remover, then this product can save you money and time. It removes dirt, oil, and makeup and leaves your skin clean, but soft and refreshed, not dry or tight. I really enjoy that. Most acne cleansers that I have used leave my skin dry and tight. Although this is not specifically an acne cleanser it is a great addition to any skin care routine. It prepares skin for whatever your next step is and if you're lucky enough that you just have to wash your face, then this is a great product for you. I loved the way my skin felt after using this and I feel like my acne medication worked a little better because it was not competing with a super harsh cleanser. This is good for people of all ages and it's gently enough for kids to use too. I will definitely buy this cleanser again.

Jergens has done a great job of creating a lotion that softens skin, smells great, and lasts a long time. It smells wonderful, made my skin extremely soft, and is super economical. I was skeptical about trying it out at first because the bottle seemed kind of old school and a little boring, but then I remembered it's what's on the inside that counts. I am happy that I tried this. The smell took me back to middle school, I think my mom used to buy this lotion back in the day and as soon as I smelled it it took me back. The bottle is huge and I can share it with my family and there is still plenty left. I love that it can be purchased anywhere and that it lasts a long time. I also love that it is gentle and leaves my skin amazingly soft, unbelievably soft. I would recommend this lotion, if you have kids or daughters that go through a lot of lotion, then this is the product for you!

This product is soothing after a long day in the sun. Pop it in the fridge and it is so soothing and cooling, it's amazing. It is thick and you do have to rub it in and let it dry before putting clothes on. It has a natural smell which I really like. This also soothes burned skin after waxing or laser hair removal. The only reason that I didn't give it more stars is because the number one ingredient is alcohol and for a moisturizing, soothing product that seems contradictory. I also like that it comes in a value size and it can be purchased at pretty much any store. In a pinch it also doubles as a hair product after a long day at the beach. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who spends time out in the sun.
