I love this stuff. It is a mixture of vinegar, essential oils and alcohol so if you are looking for a natural deodorant this stuff is great. The alcohol really burns if you spray it on just shaved skin and it is pretty pricey which are the only negatives I've found with this deodorant. It has a clove-based scent which makes it a great unisex spray and the vinegar helps fight odors. This is one of the best non-antiperspirant deodorants I've used.

I got the unscented Jason deodorant and in the end I think I ended up smelling worse from it. At first it was fine and while I wasn't wowed by it, I stunk less after using it. I don't know if sweat got onto the stick or something, but after a few weeks I started smelling worse if I used this deodorant. I felt like I'd start stinking about an hour after putting it on and I'm normally not that sweaty and smelly of a person. In the end it just wasn't worth the money.

I received some of these in a Clinique bonus package and enjoyed using them in the sweaty summer months to reduce shine and keep oil in check between washes. They do a pretty good job of whisking away oil without disturbing make-up and the package is handy for leaving in my purse. However they are more expensive than other blotting sheets so I don't know if I'd buy them from Clinique.

This is a pretty good hand cream. It smells intensely of bananas so if you are sensitive to fragrance this one is probably a pass. It is quite greasy and doesn't absorb quickly into the skin so I tend to use it at night before bed or when I'm in the kitchen or in the art studio when I'm washing my hands often. I wouldn't recommend it for a quick moisture boost though, it works better if you give it a long time to soak in. Overall, a pretty good buy.

This is an expensive lip gloss and while it does give a lovely tingle, I felt like my lips weren't any plumper than before. That being said, I love the color, lasting-power and texture of this gloss. I love it so much that I am willing to drop the dough for these polishes even though there isn't very much in the bottle and it doesn't plump my lips. There's the perfect amount of shine and color in there. I'd recommend buying it if you find a color you love, not if you are trying to boost your thin lips or save some money on gloss.

I actually prefer the gel to the creme from Manic Panic. Manic Panic is a pretty good semi-permanent color. It works best of hair that is damaged so for my brown hair I have to blast it with bleach first, rinse, shampoo (without conditioner) and then slop it on. It is really easy to use. The colors are very vibrant and for the first 2 weeks or so they stay pretty bold before starting to fade. I use less shampoo and sometimes "wash" my hair with conditioner instead to keep the color longer. After that I find I need to do touch-ups ever 2-4 weeks to keep my hair really bright, otherwise the color turns into a pastel version of itself and then a dingey blonde. This doesn't really work on brown hair and even on dishwater blonde hair I'd recommend a round of bleach first. I find the gel is easier to work with and for purples and blues I get a better result. Fun stuff.

This is a nice lotion with a nice scent and what feels to me a high price tag. The lotion is rich and soaks in well, has a herbal/floral scent, and keeps my skin moisturized for a good amount of time. It is nice that there are some organic ingredients but overall I'd say this is an ok moisturizer.

This is a bit rough for sensitive skin and a bit pricey. I found the salt was a bit sharp sometimes, but my boyfriend loved it. He prefers something with more exfoliating strength than I am used to. It does leave skin feeling well exfoliated and rinses clean. I love using it on other parts of my body too. The scent is also awesome, citrusy margh on the beach, YUM!

Normally I have very dry skin and this would be way to drying for me, but I spent a summer in a very humid area and ended up having to wash my skin multiple times a day just to stay comfortable and this was perfect. The smell is very tomatoe-y and it seems a bit acidic. It left my skin feeling fresh and taut when it was feeling oily and I'd feel like it was clean for a longer time. When the weather got less humid this became too drying, so I wouldn't recommend it for normal, dry or sensitive skin; the Burt's Lettuce complexion soap would be a better choice for you. Still, overall a good complexion bar.
