If I could rate solely by the best citrus/lemony scented shampoo, this would be the one, no doubt. But it is a bit light shampoo for my thick coarse hair. It is not very moisturizing. I feel that this is more suitable shampoo for normal hair. What I dislike about this shampoo is the bottle. I love the L'occitane signature classic design, but the bottle is hard to squeeze.

As much as I love collecting perfume bottles, for everyday use body mist is much practical and of course economical. I used to buy body mist at stores like Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works, but I buy more drugstore brands like Calgon and Dove lately because their body mists are even more affordable. Five days ago I purchased a "Secret: Kuku Coco Butter" body mist at a closeout store. It has tropical sweet scent, and indeed it smells like coco butter. Unfortunately, the scent does not last long. Although 2. 1 ounce is a pretty good size and it was cheap, I prefer the non-aerosol formula.

It didn't dry or irritate my skin, but it did not clear my pimples either. Maybe this is for people with sensitive skin and mild acne problem. This foam with light and pleasant scent was gentle for daily use, and I could easily rinse off. It was just not strong enough. If you don't need a high percent of salicylic acid, this may be a good one.

I really liked the color, Sheerly Nude, but it smelled funky. Even worse, the liquid gloss part was sticky like glue and greasy like heavy ointment. Then soon after I applied it, it became dry, and my lips looked like chapped. The staying power was great, but it just looked horrible on my lips, and when it was time to remove, it was hard to take it off. Now this lip gloss is tucked away inside a drawer for a long time.

One coat seems to be a bit thin so I usually apply twice to bring up the color Frisky Clover (290) and for the full coverage. Since I double coat, it takes more than 60 sec to dry, but still it is pretty good for the price of $2.49. Although the color selection is somewhat limited, I am planning to try another color. This Rimmel nail color is convenient, and fits my busy schedule and my wallet nicely.

I was curious about their tagline "The Foundation Faker". It gives natural looking, but it looks so natural that it does not cover any of my acne scars, blemishes and sun/age spots. On the other hand, this makes a good and smooth base for my other foundation and eyeshadow. It gives my skin similar benefits of a tinted moisturizer but minus moisturizer. The package and the sheer coverage definitely appeal to younger women.

It is hard to believe that this is oil-free because it does not leave my skin dry. I soak a cotton ball/pad to apply, and I don't have to rub hard to remove eyeliner, eye shadow, most mascara, and even lipstain. Only one item this makeup remover failed to remove so far is my waterproof mascara. Just like Nivea's this is one of the great inexpensive eye makeup removers (the best one in my opinion is still Clinique Wash-Away Gel Cleanser).

I was hoping this would help to clear my adult acne by deep cleaning my pores. The sensation of warmth feels good at the beginning, and this is not as harsh as other warming or thermal-active products (e.g. Clinique Pore Minimizer). However, it leaves a thin layer of residue, and it doesn't seem to rinse off completely. And, I still have acne and blackheads.....

I cannot find Sunsilk ThermaShine Shine Spray anymore, and I was looking for a replacement. A friend of mine who is a flight crew member recommended me this spray. It adds extra shine to my straight hair. The dull hair looks more moisturized and smooth. It also leaves subtle refreshing scent, as well as a bit stickiness if I use too much. Still, this is a handy spray to use after a long-haul flight.

I have tried many hair removing products, so I am used to a burning sensation. But this spray did not just give shaving rash, but did not remove hair effectively. According to the direction, it should work in 3 min, but even I left it longer (like 5 min), the result was the same. I remember after using this spray, my skin was irritated and very itchy. Although I liked the scent and the convenience, I find this spray inefficient and more expensive than most of creme-based hair removers for the amount given. I did not know totalbeauty when I purchased this, I wish I read others' experiences first.
