I can't rave enough about this razor. I used to buy cheap razors and dutifully shave when I had to. I had no idea what a difference a more expensive razor could make! Shaving now feels more like a gentle exfoliation; it's much less of a chore and more of a beauty treatment. Love it.

I have combination/oily skin - dry on the cheeks, oilier throughout the t-zone - and this stick foundation doesn't work for me. It feels heavy on my cheeks and gets greasy on my chin and nose. I like the portability of the product; it's just not for me.

I love the flavors - especially Tropical (very pina colada) and Peppermint Rush (it tingles in a really nice, refreshing way). Hydrates lips, little bit of shimmer - what's not to like?

Of all the Tousle Me Softly products, I'm least impressed with the shampoo. Sure, it does it's job (my hair was clean after using it) but I just wasn't wowed. If you're looking for a low-cost shampoo with no surprises, this one is as good as any. Smells excellent, which is a bonus.

I never trust hairsprays that claim to last a long time without getting crispy. It just feels counter-intuitive. But this is the real deal. The hair spray doesn't get gunky or sticky (even in humid weather!). And it leaves your style with just enough hold to avoid falling flat. I wouldn't recommend this spray for a serious up-do or other complicated style. But it's a terrific every-day hairspray.

This conditioner feels more expensive than it is - it's thick and creamy, and left my hair feeling incredibly soft. I'm a big fan. During one long shower, I accidentally applied a ton of it to my scalp and was positive my hair would feel heavy and weighed down at the roots - but it didn't! A pleasant surprise, especially for this price point.

This finishing cream works really well applied to either wet or dry hair. Applied to wet hair, it helps tame overall frizziness and makes your hair super soft. Spot-applied to frizzies, it'll finish your style without adding weight or greasiness. And I can't get enough of the wild violet + pomegranate scent!

This spray gel works really well as a primer (spritz on dry hair before adding any other product) as a lightweight volumizer. It adds lift to the roots without getting sticky or greasy. The gel layers really well with the other Tousle Me products - and smells so great@

ve been eyeballing the small vials of L'Oreal HIP Kohl eyeliner for the past several months. I alternately thought, "Wow, that eyeliner looks intriguing," and 'Wow, that eyeliner is probably an absolute mess." Turns out, I was right. This eyeliner is equal parts intriguing and mess. We'll start with intriguing. This loose powder eyeliner comes in a great range of colors, all of which are highly pigmented (because that's the HIP line's thing). I tried Gold Kohl and Navy Kohl, and I loved the final look that both of them created. Gold Kohl looks great as an accent to soft brown eye shadow. It's more concentrated than sparkly, which I thought was a nice twist. So often gold liners end up looking harsh and disco-ey. Navy Kohl is absolutely amazing. Navy is softer, though no less effective, than black. I worked both day and night looks with this eyeliner - for day, I smudged it close to my lash line and added mascara. It made my eyes look bigger and brighter (always a good thing during boring meetings at work). For night, I drew a thicker line with the Kohl and added lots of mascara. The result was a Bombshell-worthy "come hither" effect. Nothing good comes without a price, though, and the cost of this Kohl isn't just the $13 you'll shell out at the drugstore to buy it. This stuff is a mess. The vial of loose powder features a screw-top applicator that was hard to get used to. The applicator isn't quite a brush so much as a hard piece of plastic that's moderately flexible. Drop down is a given with loose powders, so be prepared to wind up with kohl liner all over your face. By the third day of using it, I'd begun to apply the eyeliner first and then put on the rest of my makeup. It was no less messy but at least I wasn't ruining 5 minutes-worth of makeup application. In the end, I went back to my trusty gel liner. Although not as smoldering as L'Oreal HIP Kohl eyeliner, the effect with gel is almost the same. And application is not as trying. I'm still a big fan of the HIP line - if you've been thinking about giving it a try and aren't sure where to dip your toes in, I love the HIP Color Presso Lip Gloss. Can't go wrong there.

I'm completely obsessed with the HIP Color Presso Lipgloss duos from L'Oreal. This double chambered gloss allows you to create your own perfect shade by mixing the two colors together. Each chamber has it's own dispenser - press one side or the other to release as little or as much color as you like. My favorite combination right now is Snazzy - one side is a berry rose shade, shot through with a touch of gold. It's perfect on its own when I want my lips to stand out. If I'm rocking a smokey eye or want the focus to be on my rosy cheeks, I'll use more of the neutral beige color (also featuring a touch of gold). I love products that multi-task. HIP Color Presso Lipgloss cuts down on the number of lip products that I jam into my already-crowded purse. And the gloss feels great on my lips, no yucky aftertaste. Find your perfect combo wherever L'Oreal HIP makeup is sold, like Target
