Olay Complete All Day Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15 - Normal
Awesome everyday moisturizer
This is a great moisturizer. Inexpensive, light, with UV protection this has everything your face needs at a good price. It absorbs quickly and I'd recommend it for any age especially since sun damage is aging, UV protection is a must. Highly recommended.

This is a nice and rich moisturizer for dry skin that isn't too heavy. Soaks in quickly and doesn't feel greasy but leaves my dry skin feeling soft and moist. It isn't inexpensive, but for the quality I'd say that it is a good buy. The scent isn't great either, but it doesn't smell bad either, very bland scent and color. I love moisturizers that come in pots because you can get every last drop. For fans of natural products the Lush lines are great too.

This is a great little set from Burt's. The lip tints are fabulous. Moisturizing and minty like Burt's balms, but with a bit of color. Great for someone like me who has a tough time with lipstick but needs lip balm. The pouch is super cute and keeps your balms together and safe so that you don't have loose caps and such floating around your purse. This also makes a great inexpensive gift.

These are just little loofah discs. The first time you put them in water they puff up a bit. Most of the pads have a smooth side and a rough side. I only use the smooth side for my face. I like to spread my cleanser on my face and then gently buff with a pad instead of buying something that exfoliates. I just adjust how hard I need to buff for my current exfoliating needs. These last quite a long time especially if you dry them out between uses. I'm a bit of a germaphobe so I occasionally microwave or boil mine to keep them clean. These are a great, eco-friendly way to keep your complexion glowing but the Body Shop version is slightly pricey. If you go to a natural foods store you can usually get a pack for 2 or 3 dollars.

These shower gels are really pricey so I generally avoid them because of the price. However I did get a bunch on sale so I've tried a few different ones. My favorite is Active Athletic. It has a slight medicinal scent but it is nice on sore muscles. There is also one for colds that is nice in the bath when you're congested. The rest are just okay. The relaxing one isn't amazingly relaxing. Still, there are better shower/bath gels out there.

Good masculine but soft fragrance. My boyfriend has this and it seems to be long lasting. The scent is slightly powdery so it is good for everyday wear. Makes me think of guys in crisp white shirts or tennis players for some reason. The bottle is hilarious yet sexy.

Personally I like these eyeliners. It isn't as highly pigmented as some of the more expensive kohl or powdered eyeliner but then it is MUCH cheaper. For black and gold I'd recommend going for the more expensive brands. I like the blue and burgundy shades in this line. If you touch your eyes a lot I wouldn't use this or any mineral make-up. I would also recommend using a primer before applying and saving your foundation/blush until after your eyes are done because you may have to wipe away any loose powder after applying. It gives you a sexy smudged line, blends well and has some great colors. As far as application, just gently line the eyes using short strokes because the applicator is quite stiff.

I love the smell of this stuff. It is fresh and summery. I have very dry skin and in the winter I love body butters by the Body Shop. The butter is a tad bit too thick for me in summer but the lotions aren't quite moisturizing enough for my very dry skin so this fits the bill perfectly. The tub holds a whole lot and being a tub you'll be able to get every last dab of lotion from inside. Not cheap, but definitely worth the price tag.

I have short oily hair so I need a shampoo that leaves my hair clean but not stripped. This one is great. It is also inexpensive so its a great bargain. The scent is nice and tropical. Paired with the conditioner it leaves my hair clean, soft and not weighed down. I wouldn't recommend it for dry hair but for normal or oily hair it is perfect!

I have oily short hair so I like the Drama Clean conditioner. I often use 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioners but sometimes I like to use individual shampoo and conditioner. This one has a great tropical scent and makes my hair soft without weighing it down or making it greasy. It is also inexpensive so is a great bargain.
