I found that my hair responded really well to this line. My hair got glossier and easier to style. My hair feels clean but not dry. The baobab tree extract makes the shampoo smell great (a very clean smell) without being overpowering. Regarding the packaging: I do like that the bottles are hard plastic (#1), which means they are recyclable pretty much anywhere. However, the opaque plastic means that it is difficult to tell how much product is left in the bottle. The shampoo and conditioner bottles look exactly the same and can be easily confused. Over all, I was very pleased with the shampoo, especially at this price point. I hope the line will be sold at places besides Walgreen's soon!

I really like this eye makeup remover. I find it to be comparable to Lancôme's Bi-Facil, only much cheaper. It easily removes eyeliner (which is my big test for makeup removers). It does leave a bit of an oily residue, but since I always wash my face with soap before going to bed, the residue comes right off and doesn't bother me.

I found this to be a good general makeup remover. It's gentle and doesn't dry out my skin. It does a good job of throughly removing eyeshadow, mascara (and blush, loose powder etc.), but it's not strong enough to take off eyeliner.

t's a really good scrub. It's effective without being harsh, and my skin is always significantly smoother after I use this. This scrub is also environmentally-friendly. A lot of scrubs use tiny plastic beads as the granules, which never biodegrade. The granules in the St. Ives scrub are natural (tiny, broken up bits of shell), so it doesn't hurt the environment. This scrub is also a good price. Unfortunately, I can't stand the smell. It smells like fake apricot, and it makes me want to gag. So definitely take a whiff of the scrub before you buy it!

L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Original Washable Bold Eye Mascara
A little flaking, but overall a great mascara
This mascara does a good job of lengthening and adding volume. I love the way my eyes look right after I've applied the mascara. I also like how the bristles on the brush are very dense, making it very easy to apply the mascara smoothly and evenly. Unfortunately, I find smudging to be a huge problem with this mascara. I have to keep checking my eyes throughout the day, wiping off smudges and flakes so that I don't look like a raccoon.

I've tried a lot of mascaras, and Lashblast is one of the best (even compared to the high end department store brands). It does an excellent job lengthening/lifting/blackening my lashes, with no smudging and hardly any flaking at the end of the day. My lashes look great -- very black and dense. The brush is fatter than usual, and does take a bit of getting used to, but I think it's worth the effort. My one complaint in the strange shape of the tube -- why the wide middle?

This is my standby loose powder. It's very light and easy to blend, which means that it helps to hide small imperfections rather than highlight them.

This is a very nice sunblock. It absorbs quickly and smoothly so I don't have to wait a long time before I can put on your makeup. I never feel like I'm wearing an extra layer of product on my face -- to me it feels more like a nice, light, moisturizing lotion than sunblock. I just wish that it came in a higher SPF.

Zoya makes great polish. There are a million shades to choose from, and the varnish itself wears very well. It goes on a bit thick (compared to say, OPI), but it doesn't streak and each coat dries quickly. I can go a good week without any chipping and only minor wear on my nails when wearing Zoya polish. (Tip: Zoya products are Big 3-free, so if you're using a different brand of base/top coat, make sure it is also Big 3-free or your manicure will be a total, utter, messy, watery disaster!)

This product gives my hair great shine, without making it feel oily or greasy or heavy. The shine lasts all day, and my hair feels super silky. Unfortunately, it's very expensive. Although I just need a small amount (nickel-sized amount or less), I still save it for when my hair really needs an extra kick!
