Bobbi Brown brushes are one of my top favorites. The blush brush is no exception. The design allows for exact placement of powder blush and even blending. The brush feels good in the hand and the handle allows for easy control. The bristles do not shed, fray or splay out. Very sturdy construction and washes well with a gentle cleaner such as a sulfate free baby shampoo. I'm very happy with this purchase and look forward to many years of use.

Q-tips is the top quality cotton swab on the market. The cotton ends are soft, plush and do not "unravel" or fuzz during use. The stick is sturdy and does not bend like some cheaper, flimsy cotton swabs.I can't begin to name the multipurpose functions these little swabs do. From cleaning up the under eye area after makeup application, touching up nails after polishing, cleaning up the lip line after lipstick, eye makeup removal, applying antibiotic cream to cuts....limitless. This is the only brand I will buy. When you find top quality, stick with it.

This styling cream may work well on coarse, dry or curly hair types. On my normal, fine textured hair it did not work at all. I used it as directed and it made my hair feel dirty and look piecy. I did not like the feel of my hair afterwards. It did not feel clean. It did not add any body or movement. The smell of this product was the only thing I liked about it. Not a purchase I would make again.

I used this conditioner along with the shampoo. I did not experience any fullness, body nor anything special from this combo. The conditioner didn't leave my hair as conditioned as I would have liked. I have thick, normal hair with a fine texture and this conditioner didn't work well on it. It didn't weigh it down but I noticed my hair didn't stay clean through the next day. For a "natural" haircare line this product contained many unnatural chemical ingredients. I won't purchase this again.

While this shampoo is not a bad product for cleansing hair, I was disappointed in some ways. For one, this line is touted as "natural" and does contain some good ingredients but also contains many chemicals that are not natural or good for your skin. The product did cleanse well but I did not find that my hair had any more body or fullness. Even after a couple weeks of uses there was nothing to make me believe the product lived up to its claims. The claim is after one use the hair diameter is increased by 54%. Not so. You can get your hair "clean" with many products other than this shampoo. From now one I'll buy something that actually does follow through on other claims.

I purchased this product once when I was out and needed some concealer for a quick fix. This turned out to be a poor choice. This did not conceal at all, did not blend well and it is very hard to get an exact match since you can't test or try the color beforehand.The concealer ended up looking cakey and as far as staying power it had none. I might as well have not used any concealer as to use this one. Not a product I recommend.

Garnier Fructis Style Full Control Anti-Humidity Aerosol Hairspray
Decent for Light Hold, Not Strong Hold
This hairspray works decently for a light hold but I wouldn't call it a strong hold like the info on the can implies. It has a pleasant scent and sprays evenly. Spraying lightly is also key here because too much will leave hair kind of limp and piecey. I only use it to control any fly aways, since very little is needed for this. It does keep fly aways in control in humidity. For dry, coarse or curly hair this spray could work well. For normal, fine or oily hair this might weigh it down a little depending on how much is used.

This foundation is a smooth texture liquid that gives full coverage without being heavy or mask-like. It goes on evenly with a matte like feel that is great for oily and normal/oily skin. For drier skin types this might be too matte with not enough moisture. This makeup held up well in heat and humidity without changing color. It wore evenly without caking, splotching or smudging. In cold weather it did not get too drying for my normal/oily skin. The range of shades are nice but lean towards yellow-based skin tones so please do check in natural lighting to choose your foundation shade.

This is a great body boosting foam for hair. It's so light and easy to work through hair. It's not at all stiff or sticky. Lifts hair at roots and lasts all day. My hair is thick but fine so I concentrate it at the roots, front and sides of my hair before blow-drying and styling. The scent is fresh and clean. It's so nice to purchase a product that actually does what it claims. I will definitely buy this again.

I love this product. I have normal hair with a light wave. I spritz it on lightly while blow drying right before my hair is fully dry. I then brush it through to take away any frizz or fly aways. I use it on the ends of my hair before using a flat iron to give extra smoothness. It's also a great finishing spray when used sparingly. DO remember to shake the bottle well, otherwise your hair can be left with a "filminess" in spots. It's such a versatile, all around good product. Works on any hair type but oily prone hair should probably use sparingly where needed and a few inches down from the roots. A good purchase and well worth it. I definitely will buy this product again.
