This is a fabulous leave-in. I love the Giovanni line anyhow, they are a bit pricey but the organic ingredients and quality of the line make them worth it. I used to use this when I had long hair and it left my hair so soft and helped my keep away tangles. Now that my hair is short it is a bit too much for it, but I still recommend it to my friends that have dry or long hair.

This is a pretty nice everyday sunscreen. It takes a bit longer to absorb than my normal facial sunscreen, but it also costs less. It is a bit light for a moisturizer so it is a pretty good sunscreen for dry skin in the summer or perhaps oily skin in the winter. I don't like the scent, but it is quite light and fades quickly. Overall I would say it is a pretty good everyday sunscreen but I don't know if I'll buy a second bottle.

This is my favorite of the Harajuku Lovers scents. It is the least powdery and has a more woodsy floral and fruit blend than the other scents. However, I don't like judging perfumes by the scent because they smell differently on everyone. My rating is based on length of wear and value and the fact that the packaging on these are soooooo cute! I don't think these are a very good value because they don't seem to last very long. The top notes faded pretty quickly. The bottom notes lasted a lot longer. Overall a nice perfume, but pricey.

I always feel weird rating perfumes because different people like different scents and they react differently to different body chemistries, so I'm my rating is on length of wear, value and things that aren't about the scent. G is a light scent, slightly powdery with a floral and fruit blend that is very delicate and feminine. The packaging is adorable, but I think it is a bit pricey compared to similar quality eau de toilette. On myself the scent faded quite quickly. The top notes faded in about an hour and in about 2 and a half hours I could only smell the scent if I put my nose to my skin or about an inch away. It was one of the least long lasting scents from this line for myself, which is too bad because it is pretty lovely. Still, I expect more from a perfume.

One issue I've often had with hemp and organic lines is that there won't be much color variation. Not so with hemp organics! They have a nice wide range of colors. They are smooth and creamy so they glide on smoothly and are not drying. They aren't perfect though. They tend to fade pretty quickly and I'd recommend using a liner with them (luckily there are awesome corresponding hemp organics lip pencils).

I find it a bit strange when reviewing scents because they tend to react differently with different bodies. So although my review describes the scent I'm mostly rating on price, length of wear, packaging and such. This scent smells mostly like baby powder. If you don't like powdery perfumes this is definitely not for you. There is a slight floral edge to it. The best thing about this perfume is the adorable package! The length of wear is pretty good. The top notes fade pretty quickly, but I didn't care for them too much so I liked that. The bottom notes lasted a lot longer and I enjoyed them more. Still, I don't think this is a good value eau de toilette. I think you could get a similar scent by just dusting yourself with baby powder. It would be much cheaper and you'd get the added benefit of soaking up sweat and body moisture.

I haven't ever had problems with any pair of contacts that I've worn. I do enjoy these. They tend to fit well, are easy to pop in and of course help my vision. My friend with very dry eyes couldn't wear them though. He has a really hard time finding lenses that work for him. Still, most people shouldn't have a problem with these lenses.

I like the Body Shop dry oil mists because they smell so yummy and lightly scent your body also. They absorb very quickly leaving your skin soft with a slight shine. They are not super moisturizing though so if you are looking for something for really dry skin I'd go for a body butter instead. Overall a nice product.

This is a great mascara for volume. It lengthens, but not by very much. I wear contact lenses or glasses and when I wear my glasses I can't wear lengthening mascaras or they tap against my lenses when I blink. This is one of my favorites for glasses days. The brush is packed with bristles so a couple of swipes is enough for full coverage. The effect is volume and color that looks natural. This tube won't give you the "Are you wearing fake eyelashes?" look. Major pitfall is the price when so many drugstore brands can give you a similar effect. Probably worth it if you have thin lashes, want a natural look and have sensitive eyes.

I love this shampoo, but I don't use it everyday. I have really dry skin and very oily hair so I haven't found any shampoo that does everything I need. The bottle says all hair types but I can't see it working for fine and dry hair. I use it as a clarifying shampoo any time my hair feels gunky. There aren't any sulfates so there isn't much lather for lather junkies, but if you just work it through your hair and trust that it'll work, your hair will rinse clean. It is pretty expensive compared to drugstore shampoos, but I haven't found anything else that compares for less. It also contains several organic ingredients.
