I was running low on my usual eye makeup remover, Loreal Clean Artiste, and had recently purchased a CG waterproof mascara that would not budge with the Loreal product, even though it is made for waterproof mascara. I didn't want to spend a lot of money so I decided to try this product. As luck would have it, it actually was able to remove the mascara and the proof was the next morning; no smudges! However, the smell is odd; sort of like yogurt or sour cream. The product is a little runny and the package is a poor design for that. It does make eyes "blurry" after using, but that is to be expected with an oil based remover. I also thought the value was not that great. I paid almost $4 and when I took the bottle out of the package, I was surprised at how narrow the bottle is. My search continues...

I just started using Nice N Easy after switching from Loreal Preferance at my mom's insistance. Turns out mom's do know everything after all! This conditioner left my hair amazingly soft and the shiniest I have ever seen it. The smell is amazing and the conditioner is also sold separately from the dye. Definitely two thumbs up!

Like the other reviews have stated, I wish they had these serums listed separately. I have the dreaded "in-between" hair; not quite curly, not straight, and more coarse than smooth. This means that it is a struggle to make my hair appear curly or make it appear straight and smooth. I am constantly fighting with it and it is so annoying! Ha. I have used many serums and smoothing balms, even Moroccan Oil, and have found most of them to be ineffective for my hair type. However, this serum coupled with John Frieda Smooth Fixation Creme worked just beautifully! It left my hair soft, shiny and was MUCH easier for me to dry and control. I could tell within the first few minutes of my drying time; I wasn't having to fight to get control of my hair, which often just leaves me exasperated. I would definitely recommend this product and I think it rivals more expensive brands.

This product was a pleasant surprise. I would say that the texture is more like a gel than a lotion. The smell was pleasant and there was no dreaded tan odor! The price point is a little high but loreal often has coupons. It dried fast and wasn't sticky. The only issue I had with it was the glitter. When I first poured it out, it looked like a ton of glitter. Once I rubbed it in, it really wasn't and I actually liked it. It's subtle enough to wear to work.

I am really leaning towards spray self-tanners. They are so convenient and practically fool proof! This spray requires a thicker coating than most to really show the color, but it is a good tanner. The smell is mild and once dry can't really be detected. I prefer the Banana Boat version because it is a better price point and requires less product for the desired color, but I would absolutely recommend.

I am a huge lotion junkie and I was so surprised to see such positive reviews on this product! I thought the texture was nice, but it left my skin feeling sticky and it has an odd, almost medicine like, smell. I also looked at the ingredients, and it does have paraben listed for those that may be interested in that. I will not repurchase again.

I received a sample of this lotion at a conference and it is incredible! It is a thick, moisturizing cream perfect for dry or winter skin, and keeps my skin hydrated for hours and hours. As a side note, it is a pricey lotion but well worth it. I have tried the Target Up & Up version and it is just as good for those on a budget. Highly recommend.

This is the second budget primer that I have tried and it is heads and tails better than the ELF version. It has almost a slightly glue like texture but it actually feels really nice and holds my foundation in place quite well. It has mica in it, which are the light reflecting pigments, and it really makes my skin luminous without appearing oily, glittery or overdone. My skin tends to be on the oilier side anyway and I was concerned about breakouts with this product but I didn't experience that at all. I would definitely recommend and for 3 bucks you really can't go wrong.

I received a small bottle of this to test from TB. It was sent in an un-marked package and at the time, I had no idea what brand it was. Originally, I thought it was Aveeno due to the ingredients on the back and have to say that I was surprised that it is Vaseline. I do like Vaseline lotions, and if I have a coupon or they are on sale, I will pick up a bottle or two. They are pleasant smelling, provide non-sticky moisture and absorb pretty quickly. However, my experience with most of their lotions is that they are, as one reviewer put it, "underwhelming." They don't last very long and they don't provide anything different than a dozen other brands of lotion do. I don't have much experience with Aveeno lotions, so if it had been Aveeno, I would still be surprised. It was nice, pleasant, worked well, but would I go out of my way to purchase? Probably not.

This product left my lips so shiny and pretty, but it was one of the worst glosses when it comes to how long it will last. I was constantly reapplying, and this wasn't with drinking or eating. I was out shopping and it was becoming such a nuisance. The color Nude is so pretty; just wish it would stay put!
