To me dishwashing liquid has always fallen into two categories: cleans dishes well or doesn't clean dishes well. Normally, the dishwasher does the bulk of the work. The idea of dishwashing liquid being a hand softener is an old one but one I never paid much mind to. If my hands got itchy afterwards or felt dry, I just put on gloves the next time I washed dishes. Again, no big deal. Until now. Dawn Hand Renewal really surprised me. The first surprise was in the scent, Tropical Shea Butter. This is a scent one would expect to find in a body lotion. It is a very pleasant smell and the scent lightly stays on your hands afterwards. This product truly did make my hands feel smoother, softer and I had no itching. There was no need for gloves or hand lotion following washing dishes. For all the hand pampering this dish soap gave me it really did clean the dishes. This product is no lightweight. Dishwashing was actually enjoyable with the combination of the scent and how soft and silky the detergent itself felt.Will I give up using the dishwasher for the bulk of the dishes? No. But will I will purchase this product in the future? Definitely.

I bought this product before I went on my summer travels. I can't say enough about just how convenient it is!With this cleanser there are no worries about airline regulations for carry ons. Just pack it in a small toiletry bag and go. Easy to use, just add water and you have an amazing lather with great cleansing. My skin was smooth, soft and comfortable. I still use this product and will continue to do so. I highly recommend it for home or travel.

On first trying this product I was quite impressed. It readily absorbed with absolutely no oily or sticky after feeling. My skin felt smooth and balanced. My skin is normal/oily and often times moisturizers can make my skin feel "slick" and over moisturzed even after makeup application. This gel-cream did NOT. It made a good base for use under sunscreen or SPF makeup. My skin stayed comfortable all day. Drier skins note: this may not be enough for you skin especially if it tends to feel tight. Those with dry skin may want to use a richer moisturizer on top of this for night (if you don't like an extra step in your nighttime routine then this moisturizer may not be for you) or a moisturizing makeup over it during the day. Normal/oily and oily skin should have no problems. I'm not a big fan of drugstore skin care but I have to say I am optimistic with this gel-cream.

I tried this hair glaze and was very happy with the results. My hair was smooth and shiny after blow drying and had lasting results. However, if left on more than the recommended time it can make hair a too slick. Hair that is very dry or damaged will probably do well if glaze if left on longer than the specified time. Be sure to rinse well! Hair will be filmy if not rinsed properly. I recommend rinsing hair in lukewarm water and then finishing with a cool rinse to really bring the shine out. Used once a week, hair will look silky and lustrous.

I, like many others, tried this product and found it to be horrible. No matter how carefully I applied the primer it still clumped. The mascara is thin and smears no matter how light handed you are in application.It made my lashes stick together and the result was a globbed up mess.The comb applicator is completely worthless and does nothing for separating lashes even when wiped clean. My lashes are good but with this mascara they looked awful. Even with a metal lash comb I could not get them separated and looking decent. It also smeared and flaked about an hour after application. I'd say this product DID NOT live up to its claim and I would definitely NOT purchase it again. With so many good mascaras on the market this one is one to pass by.

I bought this mascara on a whim because it looked interesting and I have to say I'm rather pleased with my purchase. While it doesn't give the same effect false eyelashes would it still gave good results. My lashes were defined and it resisted smudging and flaking. A tip I'd give is to apply the primer (white) in a long, smooth stroke and do not use double coats of it. Short quick strokes can clump and using more than one coat can make lashes look stiff with less separation. I also suggest doing applying it by giving a light coat of primer on top lashes, let dry a few seconds (otherwise the primer can mix too readily with the mascara and clump), apply mascara and then coat bottom lashes with primer and reapeat above step. Coating the bottom lashes with primer is something you may or may not want to do depending on your style. While I might not purchase this mascara as my regular one, I still think of it as a good product and I would buy it again.

I am really pleased with this product. It truly is invisible on any skin tone, has a great smell and keeps oil in check. I have normal to oily skin and in the humidity of summer my skin can lean towards oily. I only need to touch up once with this powder and it lasts. It does not cake, streak or get splotchy. The truly invisible colour does not mess up any foundation, blush, etc. I have had no irritation from this product. I do not have sensitive skin though, so anyone with sensitive skin may want to check the ingredients to see if any could cause problems. Very oily skin may need to touch up more often. For me this product works well and I will continue to keep it in my purse as a staple.

I purchased the trial size package of this conditioner and shampoo. Thankfully I did not buy the full size product as it would have been a waste. The conditioner did nothing to add volume to my hair. While my hair is fine it has never been what you could call flat. In fact, my hair didn't seem full at all after using this conditioner. I even had trouble combing it out afterwards, something I NEVER have problems with. My hair did not feel silky but dry, something else I have never had to deal with. It's surprising to me that years of research went into this product considering the results.

I have to say that after reading years of research went into this new formulation I expected much better results than what I got. The shampoo itself, while it smelled okay, did not make any difference in my fine hair. While my hair has never been flat, having more volume is never a bad thing. This shampoo however did not add volume. In fact, I don't think it did anything at all other than cleanse my hair. I bought the small trial size package that came with the shampoo and conditioner. Even though the price is reasonable, I am glad I didn't purchase the full size products as this would have been a waste. All hair is different and this shampoo could make a difference in someone else's hair but for mine it did nothing.

Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti Aging Body Wash - Deep Penetrating Moisture
Not Impressive and Caused Itching
I tried this body was from Olay and I have to say I was not impressed. Despite cleansing well and having a good lasting lather it made my legs itchy and caused a very fine rash. It was also not easy to rinse off completely and sometimes my skin felt as if it had a "film" on it. At first I was not sure that it was this product that irritated my legs but when I discontinued use my legs stopped itching. I didn't notice any outstanding results as compared to other body washes I have used. My skin did feel smooth after using it, though itchy. I do not have sensitive skin and do not normally have any irritation from products. Anyone with sensitive skin should take note.
