I was excited to try these makeup remover pads on my short vacation--they are ideal for taking in your carry-on since they aren't a liquid. I recently had LASIK surgery, too, so I liked that the pads were soft and the remover gentle. However, I found that the formula was too gentle for how lightly I had to use the pad on my eyelids. (You can't rub your eyes for two months after your surgery.) I have not tried the pads since my vacation, but I will try to rub harder once my two-month restriction is over and see whether they are more effective then. The pads did remove most of my makeup, but I still felt like my makeup wasn't thoroughly removed. At any rate, I recommend this product for travel, but be prepared to rub pretty hard to fully remove all your makeup.

I used Neutrogena Healthy Volume mascara with olive oil until I ran across this mascara. I had used the regular Voluminous version before but didn't find it worthy of a restock. The Naturale version, however, proved to be much more effective. The brush is easy to use and distributes the mascara evenly onto my lashes, which instantly appear fuller and thicker. There is insignificant clumping, but for the most part, I enjoy using this mascara. This brand is quality, too, and much more affordable than the department store brands.

I used this for a few years for the SPF and the natural coverage before I started using Bare Minerals. I would always receive compliments on my complexion and skin tone. The product was easy to apply and blend, but it would come off if I blew my nose or something similar. It is best for the winter months since it is somewhat on the heavy side. All in all, though, this is a quality product that smooths out your complexion and perfects skin tone. I recommend it!

I received a free sample of this in Rose, and I am delighted to report that this is definitely one of my favorite lip glosses! The subtle, pretty, yummy scent caught my attention right away, and the applicator brush was pliable and easy to use. My lips were instantly hydrated and lusciously glossy--not at all sticky or childishly shiny. The color was subtle but quite flattering. If you aren't into lipstick but want a hydrating, subtle flush of color, then this is the lip gloss for you! I love bareMinerals and 100% endorse their products, especially this item. Try it!

I've been using Aveeno Daily Moisturing Lotion for two years now, and I have never had a problem with it causing irritation or breakouts (I have highly sensitive skin). The dimethicone does wonders at helping my skin retain its moisture levels, and I can confidently say that this product has improved the texture of my skin. I used to have rather scaly legs even after using other body cremes, but once I started using this lotion, the cracks and dryness disappeared. I also appreciate the fact that this product has a very slight scent, so it doesn't clash with perfume. It also absorbs rather quickly, although I do still have to wait a bit for it to dry completely before putting on jeans. Overall, though, this lotion is one of the best I have tried/used.

While this had a pretty nice scent for a self-tanner, as well as imparted a realistic shade, I did not enjoy looking down while showering and noticing how it washed off each time. It made me think of how it probably rubbed off on my clothes, as well. I don't recommend this product.

This is a pretty good body wash, but I couldn't get used to the scent. It definitely hydrates well, an effect that lasts for just about the entire day. Recommend for those with very dry skin and a less discerning nose.

Bath & Body Works always delivers! I've used their shower gel for many years, and I am never disappointed. It moisturizes with natural ingredients, perfumes your skin with a pretty long-lasting scent, and isn't tested on animals. Wonderful! Highly recommend this one.

I've been using these for several years, and I'm very impressed with their durability, as well as how they do what they claim: they stay put! I use these anytime I need to put my hair up--for the gym, for those lazy ponytail days, etc. Plus they come in different colors, but I usually just use the black ones. Highly recommend!

Just got a big jar of this last night. It felt wonderful going on and while a bit tricky to rub in completely, it made my skin extremely soft. Nice signature Nivea scent, too. I'm pleased with how I could tell a slight difference this morning when I looked in the mirror. I will definitely continue to use this product. Love the huge jar!
