The foam is great! I love foaming soaps, they make me want to wash my hands more often for some reason. But Dial soaps dry out my hands INSANELY. I always have to apply a moisturizer to my hands afterwards. Even the Aloe foaming soap dries my hands out.

I'm not going to lie. I was pulled into Maybelline Great Lash by it's attractive pink and lime green bottle motif and it's Allure beauty expert award along with other countless other teen magazine recommendations. Not to mention it's cheap price. This stuff was flat out terrible. While it did seem to define my lashes, they felt waxy. And 20 minutes after applying, my eyes were bloodshot red. I didn't even wear it long enough to check the length of it's wear- I had to take it off immediately. If you have sensitive eyes or wear contacts, I'd especially stay away from this product. Check out one of the many other brands on the market, it's worth the extra $1-$2 splurge.

I'm not exactly a fan of how liquid-y this mask is, or the fact that it makes my sensitive face red after using. Even if I add much more powder than water, it is still about the consistency of water. However, this does make the mask easier to spread. The smell is absolutely intoxicating, and it really does feel like my face is getting a good treatment with the pleasing tingle. Burt's Bees mask is full of ingredients perfect for oily skin; like French green clay, peppermint, rosemary, and sage. It's been great for my blackheads. They've minimized slightly with just a couple uses. I recommend this for anyone with oily or combination skin, but not for anyone with sensitive skin as it may be too harsh.

Okay, this sounds absolutely GROSS, doesn't it? My Mom bought it for me convinced it would help my dry/curly/damaged hair. My Dad was saying- Ew! as she brought it out of the bag. And I was weary of it too, but it VERY much helps my hair, and it makes my natural curls look kinky-curly. Although the effects only last until the next shampoo, I use it whenever I want to look especially awesome for something.

I adored this mascara. I ordered it with high expectations, and it was just as I thought it would be. I was expecting a lot of volume but not so much length- and surprising it did both. I had long, thick, desirable lashes. The only issue was it clumped with the first swipe. On the second swipe, they were gone. This is a good alternative to Lash Blast if you're looking for a dramatic evening look.

Not so sure what to make of this product. It doesn't really give me all that great of a curl. And sometimes it can leave my hair feeling a bit frizzy. I'd toss this to the side like I did and find a better curl product- they're out there.

Vaseline is unbeatable. There are so many uses for just a small travel sized jar of Vaseline. Use it as a moisturizer for dry elbows and knee caps. Use it as a lip balm for dry chapped lips. And my personal favorite- Use it as a conditioning treatment for your eye lashes after using your eye makeup remover. Just take a tiny amount, close your eyes and rub it all over lashes. You'll have healthier, longer, and thicker lashes in a week! You can also just rub it on your lashes in the morning to make them look thicker, it's a really quick and easy clear mascara. For only a couple bucks, you get plenty of power for a little tub of petroleum jelly.

...not really thinking, the only thought in my mind was that I needed Eye Makeup Remover Pads. The clerk told me she uses those, and she said she uses a tissue to blot the excess oil off of her face before she sleeps. I sort of looked at her funny- Makeup remover pads never leave *that* much residue on my skin. But when I got home later and took one out, I knew what she meant. They were saturated in oil. Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Eye lashes need to be "conditioned", just like your hair. These pads are soaked in healthy safflower and soybean oil. I was all for the conditioning- I rub Vaseline on my eyes at night to have less lashes fall out during the daytime. Now, that step is eliminated from my nightly routine. Although, I do have to blot to get rid of some excess oil, and to sometimes to get some traces of eye liner. I think I'll keep looking for a nice quality eye makeup remover that moisturizes well that removes my makeup a bit more effectively.

This moisturizer is worth it's weight in gold, absolutely perfect for combination skin types. This moisturizer absorbs quickly, also protecting your skin from environmental damage. It works swimmingly as a make-up base, too. This is a day cream, though I use it at night before bed. I even rub this stuff right over my acne, and never responds negatively to it (I've used this line for a couple months now). Ahava is one of the only moisturizers that doesn't cause my skin to react badly, too. Ahava moisturizer was made for sensitive skin- no redness here. Only reason why I give this moisturizer 9/10 is because I wouldn't call it a "cream". I find it a bit thinner than a true moisturizing cream. But whatever texture it is, it gets the job done well... Wake up to smoother than smooth skin with this last step in the Ahava line!

Using products of Israel's Dead Sea, this cleansing cream smells salty- but works wonders for your skin. Ahava Cleansing cream washes away dirt, make-up, and impurities with just a dime sized amount. Ahava's cleansing cream moisturizes; and balances your skin's pH as it does. The pH balancing properties of this Dead Sea treat is extraordinary on a Combination skin tone. The "moisture-enhancing Osmoter compound" is perfection for dry/sensitive skin. It has really made my skin look like one, instead of patchy spots. I gave this product 8/10 stars for two reasons a) the salt smell (if you care about that sort of thing) and b) the bottle's a bit messy (I am a fan of pop caps, not screw caps). Simply wet your face, cleanse throughly, then rinse for a well balanced complexion!
