I've tried Crest Whitening Strips about 2-3 times now, and can't say I've seen a lot of whitening either time. I always experienced major sensitivity with my teeth and gums, though, which is very unpleasant. The strips don't stay on very well, especially toward the end of a session, and get pretty gross from all the saliva that builds up (you don't want to swallow much; the taste isn't great). In addition, the price is fairly high when I haven't even seen great results. My teeth weren't bad to begin with, but that's why I expected a little more from these. It's an alright product, but I probably won't buy again.

I own this scrub in the Black Raspberry Vanilla scent, and it's absolutely one of the most addicting fragrances ever! I really enjoy it. The scrub is dense with fine particles that aren't too abrasive, but be sure your skin is wet enough before starting, because it can be a little rough otherwise. The same is true if you use too much of it. After a few seconds, though, it becomes more gentle and creates a creamy lather - once the scrub particles have smoothed out, this is a good indicator of when to rinse, I think. I would NOT, however, use a scrub as a shaving cream! Potentially dangerous. Great for smoothing rough skin and for pre-shaving use, though. Not the best I've used, but nice and smells wonderful.

Using this with the shampoo for a few months, the conditioner softened and detangled my wavy hair, but it just didn't seem strong or potent enough to use by itself. I usually ended up using another conditioner in addition to it, which kind of defeated the point. I do love the natural ingredients and how healthy it keps my hair, though; I just expected a little more, and it didn't deliver as promised. If they could improve the formula, this would be a wonderful product.

I began trying these products a few months ago when searching for natural haircare that wouldn't further damage my dry, fried hair. This shampoo is almost completely natural, and though the smell takes a little getting used to, is a nice product in general. My hair always felt softer after using, and seemed healthier overall. It does not lather well due to the lack of synthetic ingredients, but if you can work it through your hair for a few seconds, cleans very well and left my hair smelling nice after. I wish it had done a little more moisturizing, but other than that, I have few complaints. I might try the shiny or volumizing shampoo next, though.

I don't have much against the eyeliner itself - it's soft and blends/smudges well, though the quality isn't great - but the packaging is terribly cheap and not durable enough for my purse. Within a week, both the smudge tip and built-in sharpener had disappeared from the pencil! For these reasons, and because the pencils themselves aren't that great, I'll likely avoid buying again.

These glosses come in a nice variety of color, some of which are sheer, and all have a slight shimmer to them. Lots of shine, though! They are a little sticky, but the formula is kind of gel-y, which might be why. My favorite is Pixie, a nice, neutral peachy shimmer that shows up mostly sheer on me and is subtle. They also smell very sweet, and have no bad taste, which is great. The few cons are the stickiness and the rounded applicator tube, which makes precise application a little difficult sometimes. Even so, these are quite nice!

I only own one of these glosses - the limited edition A-list Peach - but love it. The color is intense and has a beautiful shimmer that makes lips glow, and it feels very light and non-sticky on skin. The bottles are a little small, but the price is pretty good, so it's not a huge drawback. I can't wait to get my hands on more colors; they all look beautiful! I haven't tried these for long wear yet, though, so I can't comment on that.

This product provides a very nice, subtle shimmer to skin and is quite versatile. It's also pretty hard to find anymore. I wish they had made a wider range of shades, because neither of the ones included are light enough to serve as a good highlighter for me, but it's still great to add a little glow to cheeks, eyes, wherever.

These pigment sticks, though limited in color choice, are easy and fun to use for those who might be shadow-challenged. Whether wet or dry, the colors are intensely pigmented and dramatic, so it's simple to get a bold look. My only dislike is the flatness of the stick, which can be a little harder to use at first. After using it a bit, the edges will soften up more and it will glide over skin better. More product or a lower price would also be nice, but this is still a product of good quality.

After trying so many other drugstore eye shadows, I have to say the L'Oreal HiP shadow duos are at the top of my list. Though a little pricey, like the rest of the line, the colors are gorgeous, intense, and full of pigment. They can be a little tricky to blend without a good brush. I also suggest using a primer if your lids are normal to oily to make sure the colors stay in place. These are great, though - I own so many of them, and I hope they continue broadening their color selection. Look for them on sale; they're completely worth a try. Very comparable to more expensive brands. Totally gorgeous.
