Tom's of Maine Natural Long-Lasting Deodorant Stick

My HG everyday deodorant

I started wearing Toms because I was looking for a deodorant that was unscented and aluminum free. On an average day, if I apply it in the morning, it keeps me un-smelly all day. Even if I haven't showered that day (it does happen sometimes) and I apply it in the morning, it'll work throughout the day. It is true that in July and August (here in NYC) I will probably have to re-apply at some point during the day. When I was in nursing school, at the hospital, nervous and in a polyester uniform, I chose to wear an antiperspirant; but for life in the classroom and elsewhere Toms was perfect.

Murad Essential-C Daily Renewal Complex

feels great going on

I got this as a gift with purchase so I cant speak to the long term effects. It has everything I would want in a serum, makes my skin feel silky, absorbs quickly so I can put moisturizer on. This serum has an unusual almost powdery dry texture - which I liked. I may just go out and buy me a jar.

Fresh Mamaku Night Serum

smells so good

I got a sample of this as a gift with purchase and was able to use it for two nights. I can't speak to any of its supposed long term benefits. But it did give my skin a lovely texture and sunk in quickly allowing me to moisturize afterwards and oh the smell, the smell, mmmmm mango-y I might buy it for the smell alone.

Fresh Anise Day Serum

perfectly service-able

I got this as a gift with purchase. It has everything I would want in a serum - absorbs quickly, left my skin with a wonderful texture. I didn't notice any skin changes but then again I didn't use it long enough to expect anything. I liked it just fine but it didn't strike me as special. Maybe because the Night Serum wowed me with it's fragrance (mango-y), the Day seemed dull in comparison. I think its a fine product, just not for me at this time

Kusco-Murphy Beach Hair

great idea, doesnt work for me

i love this product. smells great, coco-nutty. it has a wonderfull shimmery sandy color. it even feels like it has sand grit in it. the idea of this product is that it is meant to leave your hair as if you have spent a day at the beach. Right now I have virgin brown hair about two inches long. I hate it when my hair is freshly washed and puffy. I am looking for a product to make it seem a day or two dirty. Although this product does that it also leaves my hair too stiff. I have found others that leave my hair feeling more natural. This may work better for me if my hair were a little longer.
