Olay Daily Purifying Bar

Good idea, bad scent

I have used this product, but I am not a fan of the scent. Bought a 4-pack, had to give three bars away. Sad, because I typically LOVE Olay's bar soaps.

MAC Bronzing Powder

Good product. bad service

I used this bronzer for a few years and liked it a lot. Provides even coverage, looks fairly natural. I switched mainly because I received MISERABLE service at several MAC stores. I switched to NARS bronzer (Laguna) and found it to be a better bronzer. It looks more mature because it doesn't have the sparkle that the MAC bronzer has. If you're looking for something new, try NARS.

Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Luxury Bath Lavender Chamomile

Great stuff!

I bought this as a treat a few months ago, and it's absolutely wonderful. My only complaint is that BBW so often discontinues products... I'll have to go buy a lifetime's supply before they take it off the shelves!

Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Compact Powder Foundation

Not nearly as good as I had hoped

This product disappointed me. I bought the bronzer, and the brush did not evenly distribute the powder, so I ended up looking streaky. Even going back over with a normal brush didn't help. I used it a few times before tossing it.

Maybelline New York Great Lash Washable Mascara

Cannot stand it

I tried this mascara on the advice of millions, and I hate it! The brush is too small, and my lashes end up looking like a clumpy rats' nest.

Aveda Pure Abundance Volumizing Shampoo

Keeps its promises

Along with the pure abundance conditioner, this Aveda product really delivers thicker, fuller hair. My hair is on the fine side and tends to be limp by the end of the day. I use this when I want to make sure my hair gets some long-lasting volume. I wouldn't use it everyday, though, unless you alternate with a clarifier.

Dove Invisible Solid Deodorant

Always sold out!

I often pick up more than one of these deodorants when I'm out because if they're on sale, good luck finding them! I am partial to the powder scent. Works like a charm!

Neutrogena Deep Moisture Hand Cream

It's okay

I was surprised at the price. It smells delightful, but it's not as thick as I would have imagined a "butter hand cream" to be. Still, I use it every night before bed. I like it, but I'm not sure my it will be the next hand cream I purchase.

Neutrogena 3-in-1 Concealer for Eyes

Great value

This affordable product combines a nourishing eye cream with an effective concealer. If I leave the house, you can bet I've at least put this on! I also love that it contains SPF - a little extra protection for the delicate undereye area is always a good thing.
