I love this body wash during the dry & cold winter. It lathers outstandingly well. This creamy body wash is gentle yet cleanses great. Although the label indicates "unscented", it has a light scent. Fortunately, it does not leave a lingering scent on my skin. No itchiness or greasy residue on my skin either. Since this is quite moisturizing, I don't use this in summer; I usually use more refreshing body wash. I think this is one of the best drugstore body wash products.

L'Oreal Paris Vive Pro Style and Body Infusing Conditioning Hair Treatment
Great for medium to long damaged hair
Vive Pro Nutri Gloss Conditioner was just a so-so conditioner, which did not give me the results that I wanted for my colored/damaged hair, but not to waste their matching shampoo, I got this treatment. As expected, the texture is richer than their matching conditioner. The treatment direction suggests to leave this on my hair for 3 minutes for deeper conditioning, and since the scent is sweet yet mild, I don't mind doing so. This helps to detangle my frizzy hair, and it makes my hair noticeably softer and shinier. Overall I am happy with the results, but it is still not as good as Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Conditioner, which is an outstanding conditioner.

This deodorant (Glacier Mist) was on clearance and sold at the price that I could not pass up. My previous experience with Secret was not very good, but I am surprised this turns out to be much better than expected. It goes on clear and stays clear, and I don't see major white stains/ residue on my clothes. Now I'm almost finished with it, but I cannot find it anymore, maybe that's why this was on clearance. Perhaps, it is time to go back to my regular Dove deodorant.

I usually ignore perfume sampler sheets between the pages of magazines, but when I was checking a recent O magazine, this Beautiful caught my attention, and to my surprise I actually bought one bottle. I am not a big fan of flowery fragrance, but this one does not smell too overpowering flowery. It is not too strong, yet I find it long lasting. My only minor complaint is that the bottle design is not as exquisite and elegant as some of my other perfume bottles.

When I received this as a gift, I thought it was a used product because it felt half-empty. Since I had no idea how this works, I went to an Aveda store. A nice sales person showed me how to use it; this powder transformed into liquid to add some volume to my hair, but I was not very convinced. I went home and applied this "portion" powder to my hair roots as directed. My hands were messy, but more importantly, my hair got smelly and looked oily. Although my hair appeared to be a bit fuller and bouncier, it looked like I did not wash my hair for a few days.

The tips of my hair tend to curl up. I apply a small amount of this cream in the morning to my towel dried hair, and it keeps my hair straight until evening. Two things I noticed about the product: 1) it adds fruity fragrance into hair, which is quite strong. 2) I thought Garnier usually uses more naturally sourced ingredients in their products, but there are stuff that I cannot pronounce in this cream.

This eyeliner is very soft and glides smooth. It blends well with my Clinique and non-Clinique eye shadows. There is no need to twist up the pencil a lot. The small tip is good enough, otherwise, be careful, the tip easily breaks off. The smudge tool is a great added feature, but it sometimes smears. There is a decent color selection to chose from, and my favorite is 02 Smoky Brown. It is bit pricey for an eyeliner, but the pencil lasts quite long.

This serum leaves my long, dry and damaged hair soft and more manageable when I wake up, but I feel that I get similar or even better results from very good intensive conditioner. As long as I don't use too much, it does not leave any major residue on my pillow case, and this serum is not overly greasy. However, I still do not feel clean to leave this serum on my hair overnight. In the next morning I have an urge to wash it off immediately. Having said that, if you are a fan of overnight treatments, I see why not this one.

Go somewhere hot and dry? Do you play golf or tennis? I travel very often, and I heard often enough that the air on the plane can really dry skin out. I cannot bring this on an airplane anymore, but this used to be a must in my carry-on bag. I still use this mist to revitalize and hydrate my face (it was great when I visited Grand Canyon). I know unfortunately this is quite expensive, but believe me I tried just regular water, but this mist does not smudge my makeup. Oh yes, I got this tip from someone who plays golf often. If you play golf, bring this with you to golf courses.

It removed my unwanted facial hair very quick, and the small tube tip gave me less mess than when I used their regular face cream. I thought everything went smooth. But then my face started feeling a little bit burn and looking reddish. It went back normal a few hours later. My skin is not very sensitive, but if this happened to my skin, I don't know what would happen to real sensitive skin. Ironically and surprisingly it turns out to be their Nair's regular cream gives me less problem than this sensitive version.
