St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub

Great all around scrub

After trying multiple scrubs, this one is the strongest, yet the most gentle. I wouldn't recommend using it every night unless you have very dry skin or use water with a high mineral content. It leaves my skin smooth, without harming or stripping it of too much moisture. I would recommend following this up with a nice face lotion. Overall - great!

Dove Extra Hold Non-Aerosol Hairspray with Natural Movement

Strong without the stick

This hairspray is wonderful. It holds and allows movement without the sticky or un-brushable mess that often accompanies "extra hold" sprays. I love Dove products, and I was so pleased to find they have such a great hairspray. By the end of the day my hair is still in place, despite a humid climate. I'll be using this hairspray forever.

Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo

Healthy hair need not apply

If you have already healthy and silky hair, don't expect amazing results from this product. Instead of "fortifying" my hair, washing with this made my hair extremely greasy and oily. For a few weeks I tried switching between this and another product every other night, and the Fructis consistently made my hair heavy and oily. If you have colored, treated or dry hair, this is probably best for you. If not, I recommend staying away from it.
