This is actually really similar to the volumizing formula; I don't see how it is much of a fusion of the two formulas (orange and yellow tubes). Before this came out I actually used the lengthening formula and the volumizing formula together. When this came out I was excited to see that they had my idea and combined the two, but it really just volumizes and separates. But it does so well. I love this mascara for day and if you layer it you can achieve a really dramatic lash look while still retaining separation. Covergirl has really hit the mark on this one and it is so affordable!

No. No. I tried, I really did; even though I hate the smell and feel of the other Burt's Bees lip products, I read that this one had only a slightly fruity smell and a great texture and color so I decided to try it. I found none of this to be true. As soon as I applied it it did not sink in at all and seemed to slide right off and the color was not sheer enough for me. Not a fan.

I don't really get it; I love that it's organic but it doesn't moisturize that well and feels waxy on my lips. The packaging is cute, it smells good, but it's purely novelty; the product just doesn't stack up. I'm disappointed too, because I have been endlessly searching for a good, organic, petrolatum-free lip balm. Alas, it is not this one.

Love love love this as a blush! I never, ever thought I'd be a cream blush person (even though I have dry skin); I just never understood how that could possibly look good and not greasy. I was wrong and I am reformed. At least with this particular cream blush. I use the formula in Peony and it is the perfect shade for my skin. After putting on foundation, I just dab some of this on the back of my wedge sponge and stipple it on the apples of my cheeks, blend a little by tapping it with my fingers and follow with face powder and voila. It looks like such a natural, beautiful flush. This is definitely my new favorite blush and since you use so little will probably last me forever. <3

I like this blush, don't get me wrong but I do not agree that it is the best blush in the industry. I have tried a couple different shades, including Orgasm, but I find it too glittery and too unnatural for my taste. A flattering color, yes, but not the "holy grail" of a shade that some people make it out to be; I do not agree that it would be flattering on virtually everyone. It is definitely a luxury product and it goes on smooth and stays put, but the shades are not natural enough for me and really not worth all the hype.

I have had a love affair with Lorac's shadows for a while now; they just go on so perfectly, so silky, and have just the right amount of pigment. This palette is great; the shadows are super flattering and neutral (except the medium brown shade is just slightly too red for my skin tone). Perfect for day and can be made more intense for night. The cheek color is flattering and soft as well, but can be made more dramatic. I love this little brush it comes with, too. It isn't just a cheap, small version of a regular brush. The stiff, slant bristle side is perfect for lining and the brush side is great for smudging along the bottom lash line. I use this palette daily; it is definitely a fantastic value.

I was actually very pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of this conditioner. I actually bought it for my husband to use but tried some one day out of curiosity. It made my hair feel silky, moisturized and soft. It worked just as well as many much more expensive conditioners I've tried for (obviously) much much less. I liked how it worked much better than the curly to straight conditioner in this same line even though I do actually style my curly hair straight. It left my hair feeling much more moisturized and looking much healthier.

This shampoo is fantastic for my hair texture. When I first became aware of Pantene's revamping of their products I was concerned. Companies lately seem to be on this bandwagon of "simplicity"; where they are paring down their lines to only a few products for a couple of different hair types and that's it. Then I saw that in Pantene's case, within the separate categories of hair types there are different "goals" that are met with a variety of products. This one is for fine hair that is fragile, dry and brittle. Aka MY hair. I don't need volume (there's another formula for that), I need repair, but specifically formulated for my fine, curly hair. I get exactly that with this shampoo; it makes my hair feel stronger, healthier, shinier. Better. And a great price to boot.

Oh, this body wash is the bane of my weekly Target shopping trip. I go for groceries, and a few aisles later I end up with a brand new tube of this delectable body wash as well. It just smells so damn good. And it softens and moisturizes really well, too. It would actually be pretty perfect if not for the price. It just isn't enough bang for your buck, yet, as I say this a tube sits in my shower and I'm sure when it's all used up it'll be replaced by another after my next Target "grocery" shopping trip. Sigh...

This is the first oil product I have tried on my hair and I was pleasantly surprised. It made my hair soft, shiny and kept my ends looking fresh. I wouldn't say I saw a huge difference in my hair health or the quality of my style but I did like the softness. I also liked the price in comparison to all the other expensive oils out there at the moment.
