  • Avalon Organics Vitamin C Renewal Balancing Toner

    I have tried a lot of toners. Many were overdrying because of the high alcohol content and hardly had the benefits I felt were worth the extra step/ I know, I get it. The toning process is supposed to restore the balance in your skin after a facial wash. However, I felt that many strip the moisture, sometimes exacerbating certain skin conditions. This one was not only refreshing, it was moisturizing. It does have fruit oil in it so if you are sensitive, I would not recommend this. This is why I knocked off two stars. It is not for everyone. I did feel that on some days, the toner stung and that was because I had either breakouts or had been overzealous with pouring it on my cotton pad. Apply it lightly and if it still feels uncomfortable, I would make a switch to something else. If not, the this is a good toner to have especially when you need some brightening.

  • Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Weightless Healing Oil

    This is actually my favorite from the Organix line. I love the scent. It smells like Argan Oil but has a fresh twist to it as if one stepped out of the shower. It is quite moisturizing and absorbs well. It tames flyaways without wearing hair down too much. My ends are dry but a bit of this helps. I wish it came in a pump form rather than a push/pull style top because it may get messy if you're not careful.

  • Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo

    I love the scent but hate that it was lacking in its promises. I only saw a slight improvement for the flyaways around the crown of my head but did nothing for my ends. I paired this with another Organix conditioner. This line in general just may not be for me.

  • Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm
    6.0

    Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm

    No Wow Factor Here.

    It is a moisturizing lip color product but the range of shades were very limited. The color was very translucent. I liked Hibiscus the most since it made my lips have the just bitten look but it was short of spectacular. I didn't feel the moisture lasted long. The smell wasn't bothersome. It did leave me wanting more.

  • Burt's Bees Super Shiny Mango Conditioner

    I wish I could say I liked the scent but I did not. I wish I could say it offered a good amount of moisture but it did not. My hair was left a bit more manageable but it didn't do much for my flyaways, some frizz, and dry ends.

  • Burt's Bees Very Volumizing Pomegranate Shampoo

    I felt it was great that a more natural shampoo could offer more than just cleanse but the claim in my experience was not met. I did not find that my hair was volumized nor did I feel it removed all of the build up so I knew right from the start that we were not going to have a long term relationship. My mane felt dry, especially at the ends. It smells great. My hair color also faded a bit after a couple weeks of use.

  • Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

    This primer did feel heavy upon application but it dries to a silky powdery feel so absorption was no issue. I wish it lived up to my expectations as it did nothing for my oily combination skin with liquid foundations. I paired it with several - high end and drugstore, I did not see a drastic difference so I felt the value was sub par. I did give a more porcelain look with powder foundation since it does contain fillers but other than that, I decided not to repurchase.

  • Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light

    This feels like a lotion upon application. It absorbs and dries quickly so it doesn't feel too greasy or sticky. As far as the primer performs, it works well. I didn't see wear to be significantly longer with my liquid foundations but did see a difference when I used this as a base for my powders.

  • Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
    6.0

    Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

    Not Exactly a Genie in a Bottle

    It does what it is meant to, prime. As a primer "potion," this sets eyeshadow well onto the eyes without creases and smudges through out the day but I found it a little difficult to work with, especially with certain eyeshadows. Urban Decay eyeshadows seem to blend well, however matte shades, I found that it left colors somewhat streaky or more pigmented in certain areas. This leaves eyeshadows vibrant and has staying power. Lancome Color Design eyeshadows seem to be the worst with this formula as they stuck well enough to hardly blend. Yet still, I'm trusting this product when it's nights at the club when there is heavy duty power needed to keep my eye makeup looking fresh. For $16.00, I have to admit is a steal, because it does last through out so many applications. The only issue is the packaging, product gets caught in the sides and it ends up not being used and thrown. My recommendation is to cut the tube, empty it out onto an air tight jar, for easier access and to get the most out of the product.

  • Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Washable Mascara

    It is scented almost like a perfume. I get clumps. The bristles are too widely spaces which causes the eyelashes to stick together more. The bristles are also quite rough. The formula also just didn't seem to make the cut for me as I have sensitive eyes. It didn't take long before I experienced redness.
