I have always been a drugstore beauty junkie but sometimes a girl has got to splurge a little! I first have to say that the original Moroccanoil serum did not impress me and I thought it was overrated. Maybe that should have been my first clue? :) However, when my stylist recommended this for my long, wavy, thick hair with dry ends, I bought it. And at $40, I am practically still paying for it! Ha. In all seriousness, I did not find this mask to be any better than any other drugstore mask I have tried. I did not think it was bad but did not notice any really change. As a result, I started using it as a styling aid by putting a small amount on my ends before blow drying and this worked well. When I did use it as a mask, I would leave it on for an hour.

This ISN'T the worst razor ever, but it is also far from the best. I received a sample of this razor in the Sugarberry scent from TB. I was super excited! I literally ripped open the box and wanted to try it right away. Until that point, I have not used the Venus Olay razors before so I wasn't totally sure what to expect. However, I do use the other Venus razors and am very happy with them. I really liked the idea of being able to shave, well, pretty much anywhere! All that is needed is water. I can easily throw it into a gym bag, or take it with me camping, or even shave anywhere before a last minute date. It seemed so convenient! So I gave it a try and within minutes I was super disappointed. The biggest issues was that the two olay pieces on the razor kept "flipping." They had to be constantly wet and even then, they kept "flipping" and "skidding" on my skin, and when that happens, the razor can't touch the skin to even remove the hair. It was pretty bad. After several minutes of this, I ended up pulling off the Olay pieces and shaving as normal. I would use a dry razor to shave before I would purchase this item. Such a great idea, but such a terrible design. The razor itself ended up working beautifully with the Olay bars removed, so I can't really fault the razor itself, but the Olay bars were useless.

I was not super impressed with this conditioner, so I may be on the minority with this! I paired it with the Nexxus Therappe Luxury Moisturizing Shampoo, and while I loved the shampoo, the conditioner left my hair still tangled. I found myself having to use quite a bit of conditioner. My hair was softer after, but it could be as a result of the shampoo or the combination of the two; it is hard to tell. I did like the smell; I thought it was fresh and clean with a hint of coconut. My hair is thick and long, a bit dry on the ends and a tad frizzy. I also have waves. I think it wasn't enough conditioner for me but if you have fine hair, it would be too much.

I received a large sample of this from a friend and since my hair tends to be on the dryer side, I thought I would give it a shot. I absolutely loved it. The smell was a combination of "clean" and a mild "coconut," but definitely not overpowering. It was very pleasant. The lather was what really got me excited! I am one of those girls that will probably never be totally "sulfate free." I like to feel that super clean feeling and have a really foamy, thick, rich lather and this shampoo delivered! I also noticed that my hair was indeed softer after using it. I would definitely suggest for ladies that have dryer, curly, brittle, or processed hair. This might be a great option for you.

Whether or not a mask is really needed has always been debatable (same as toner) but like toner, it always makes me feel like my skin is extra clean when I use a mask. I was addicted to Clinique's Emergency Mask which has since been discontinued, so I decided to give this a try. My skin is oily/combo depending on the seasons, and I have no acne but I do have blackheads. I use this between 1-2 times per week. I can't say there has been a noticeable difference overall in my skin, but I also haven't noticed any challenges, breakouts, increased oil or blackheads. I don't think it is as good as the Emergency Mask was, but it seems to at least do what it says to some degree. However, I haven't noticed a decrease in oil production as the mask claims, and frankly, I have been a loyal Clinique user for years, but don't know how they can make that claim on a product that is meant to be used only once or twice a week. Overall though, I am happy with the product but I may or may not purchase it again in the future. I feel that it is a good mask, but since I don't have acne, I may not see any real visible results.

I have this exact sunscreen in the SPF 50 version and I think I will be going back to the Sensitive Skin line for faces by Coppertone. It didn't bother my skin but it did bother my eyes A LOT. My skin is oilier and by mid day the oil would cause the sunscreen to get into my eyes and it burned like crazy. This went on for about a week until I realized it was the sunscreen. I never would have thought that a sunscreen specifically for faces would ever do that. I was avoiding the eye area but the oil caused the sunscreen to transfer. What I ultimately did was switched to a moisturizer with a SPF30 in it and have since had no issues. I am now using the rest of this tube on my arms before going outside, rather than my face. The sunscreen itself is good but didn't work for me.

I absolutely love Dove; I love their message about body image and as a result, I go out of my way to find products that I like by Dove to support their cause, which is so important. This is another great Dove product. It leaves my underarms super soft and has a nice, soft floral scent. It goes on clear and does not leave anything on clothing. The only reason I didn't give it as 10 is that it took more than 5 days for the skin on my underarms to be less dark. I applied the deodorant twice a day; once in the morning and once in the evening, and it took between 4-6 weeks before I saw a noticeable difference. I think it will probably vary depending on a lot of factors, but in my experience, I didn't get the results in 5 days as the deodorant claims, but I would still recommend it to try. It will just take a bit longer than you may anticipate. I will definitely be purchasing this in the future.

My hair is thick, wavy and long; detangler is a must when I get out of the shower. I was looking for a budget detangler and was surprised that the superstore I was at, didn't seem to offer a lot of budget detanglers. I noticed that Pantene had several options and I looked at the ingredients for all of them, and the "curly" line had the best ingredients with nothing that I thought would dry out my hair like the others. It has a nice, "clean" scent and works decently, but it takes a ton of product to be able to detangle completely. For that reason, I will be trying another product when I am done with this bottle.

My mom bought me a can of this at our local superstore and I was a bit skeptical. The myth has always been that the thicker the moisturizer, the "better" it seems to work - myth busted! I found this moisturizer to be intensely moisturizing without being overly greasy. The directions say to spray on your skin directly and rub in. I found that spraying on my hand first and then applying was much easier to control the product. Since it is a spray, it does have a runnier consistency but don't let that deter you; it left my skin soft for hours after. I have tried other sprays that were not nearly as good and came out "gloppy" but this was not the case with this product. It also left a clean, fresh, light scent of aloe. I would definitely recommend, especially for ladies on the go and on a budget.

I received the Olay facial cleansing kit with this sample cleanser. Although impressed with the brush, the cleanser left my combo/oily skin feeling dry and uncomfortable. It also has a strange odor that was a turnoff for me. My skin felt tight and I decided to use my normal Olay cleanser and it worked better for me.
