I have bleached, dyed, and highlighted fine, straight hair. It was getting a little dry and dull. This product conditioned it nicely without being heavy or flattening it. It is more expensive than I would like it to be and heavily although not necessarily pleasantly fragranced. I also do not like the jar personally. All in all, it is a worthwhile, quality product.

I liked this one on the tester, but on me, not so much. It is very citrusy, like citronella and a bit strong. After it dried down for a couple of hours I did not hate it, but it kind of reminded me of mosquito repellent and had a slight musky smell which reminded me of a stale bar smell. It had a definite summer night outdoor feel to it. It may have possibilities mixed with different chemistry. Definitely try this one of first. Again, it could just be me.

This is a very light fragrance. It smelled to me like walking past lilies of the valley after the rain. A light, airy floral. I liked it. It did not last all day though.

This is a nice affordable treat for yourself. This gloss is very shiny with just the right amount of shimmer, comes in an assortment of very pretty colors, is moisturizing, and feels good on the lips. I tried it in the "Fruity Pink" Color which is basically a great brightening lip colored sheer pink that will warm up your face--good for all skin tones. I would buy this again, especially if it on sale. This formula is non-irritating and does not really have much of a fragrance or flavor, which is a definite plus for me. The very minor things that prevent me from giving this prodcut a perfect ten are --not very long lasting, not super pigmented, it is not grainy at all but did leave tiny visible specks of glitter on my lips after it wore off which I did not like, and they do not contain spf.

I tried a sample of this in "Bronze Babe". I liked the product on my cheeks, although it may be a bit too orange for some people (I have a warm golden cast to my skin so it worked when I applied it sparingly). It went on sheer and blended nicely both over stick foundation as well as liquid foundation with powder. It blended nicely leaving a tan glow that lasted and did not irritate my sensitive skin. It looked fine as a sheer tint of color for eyeshadow, but looked a bit flat so I used a shadow highlighter with it. The texture was okay on my lips. It did not last super long, which was good because it is a horrible lip color (way to caramel orange). I would buy this to use as a bronzer or blush, but not really a multi-purpose product. The pink or coral may work better for both cheeks and lips.

This product, like Aveeno's calming line irritates my skin. I originally got it because I like the lightly fragranced version and thought this one would be more gentle to my very allergy prone, sensitive skin. Upon continued use, it cause my skin to become itchy and red. While it does not contain "Fragrance" under its ingredient list, it does contain irritating"natural" plant products like coriander cardamom which are potential skin irritants and gives it its light herbal smell. It does not seem very thoughtful for Aveeno to market it products to people with sensitive skin and then include know skin irritants--shame on them.

I just tried this body wash and it is excellent. It lathers well and rinses completely. It is inexpensive. It does not irritate my super sensitive skin. It does not dry out my skin nor does it cause the dreaded back acne either. It has no detectable smell to it at all. This is awesome for those into outdoor activities like hiking, rock climbing, fishing, etc. because it does not attract bugs like other perfumy body washes nor does it conflict or compete with your favorite uber expensive perfume on nights out. It is really hard to find, but totally worth the hunt. Love it!!!!

I got a sample of this product and had high hopes for it, but was extremely disappointed. While it did deep condition my hair, it also really irritated my skin. It is very highly fragranced. Fragrance is closer to the top of the ingredient list (meaning it is present in greater amounts) than many of the ingredients that would benefit my hair. It had a really strong sweet, coconut like smell. It started to sting a bit and caused redness and bumps on my sclap, face, and neck. I had to rinse it off right away and threw the rest of the sample out. You may want to avoid this is you have any skin sensitivity whatsoever.

I recieved a free sample of the "Fresh Energy" Scent. It kept me dry all day noticabley better than Dove or Secret. The scent was very sweet--it reminded me of an artificial sugary candy smell, but not overpowering or icky sweet. Overall I liked it and would purchase it.

Awesome if you need waterproof, but want to use up regular mascara samples
This seems to be the same formula as Clinique's Lash Power. It comes in a pretty, little tube with a tiny brush at the end of the wand. I have chronic very watery, allergy eyes, so I have to use waterproof mascara or look like Alice Cooper or Ozzy in the Black Sabbath era in a couple of hours. For this reason, my favorite mascaras are normally Estee Lauders Zero Smudge Double Wear or Clinique Lash Power mascaras. With this product I can use up my gwp regular mascara samples and put this one on my bottom lashes and outer corners. I am really happy because I also love Clinique's High Impact mascara, but usually cannot wear it because of my teary eyes. Now I can! This one separates, lengthens and thickens without clumping, lasts all day, washes off with warm water and does not smudge. Do not be concerned if it looks like you are losing lashes when you apply water--you are not. It is formulated to "tube" and slide off of your lashes. The tiny brush precisely, neatly, and completely gets every every single lash. It really fits a need I personally have. If you skillfully use regular mascara, you probably do not need this. If you need waterproof on the bottom for teary eyes or are new to or uncoordinated when applying mascara, you will love this!
