Clinique Naturally Glossy Mascara

Best basic mascara ever!

This is a staple of mine. The brush is great and the formula of the mascara doesn't clump or run or get flaky. It's gentle and does the trick.

Bath & Body Works Temptations Three-in-One: Body Wash, Bubble Bath, Shampoo

A yummy treat

All of the temptations products are wonderful. The 2-in-1 is absolutely essential for me as it's a bubble bath, a body wash and a shampoo. The Cinnamon Bun and Chocolate (only available during Christmas) are decadent. The scent is wonderful and relaxing and the smell goes on forever! It's moisturizing, though best used as simply a bubble bath/body wash. The bottle lasts for quite a while and it's worth the price completely. My only issue with it is that it takes about 3-4 capfuls for a good bubble bath due to the creaminess factor of it.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Long-Last Shine Control Cleanser/Mask

A great value

I use this duo everyday. It's a great price and size and I love that it does double-duty. I use it a few times a week for a mask and every night as a cleanser and it really works! It's great for oily skin as it slows down oil production and skin feels wonderful after you use it!

Biore Shine Control Oil Blotting Sheets

Great for those with oil-control problems

I couldn't live without these! They are worth the price for them, as the supply lasts a month or more and they are invaluable for those on the go. It's okay to use them while wearing makeup as they don't smudge or leave residue. Priceless!

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Daily Treatment

Not the best for a sleek look

This product is my least favorite Paul Mitchell conditioner. I found that while it made my hair easy to manage, it didn't make my hair very shiny-looking, as I originally thought it would. The price tag is a little steep for not delivering on performance. It also gave my hair a texture I thought a little more stiff than a regular moisturizing conditioner.

Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Soap

Good alternative to overly-drying antibacterial soaps

Bath and Body Works' moisturizing anti-bacterial hand soap does what is says - to a certain extent. The scents are wonderful (it is available is most of the favorite "flavors") and the moisturizing formula doesn't dry hands out too much. Personally, I still found that my hands were too dry, but that's to be expected from any anti-bacterial soap. It is the best moisturizing anti-bac soap out there, even if it isn't perfect.

St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub

Wonderful for those with blackhead issues!

I have loved this product since I was a kid. I have oily skin with easily-clogged pores and a daily scrub with this has helped to keep blackheads at bay. It's always priced EXTREMELY well and it's good for daily use. Perhaps the only issue I have with the original formula is that it's not the best for oily skin. While my pores are clean and my skin looks good, it does nothing to slow down oil production.

Dove Invisible Solid Deodorant

Great for dry underarms!

I have loved this product since it first debuted because of it's soft and moisturizing formula. It's great for those who, like me, have problems with underarm irritation and dryness. My only issue with the product is that sometimes it doesn't keep sweating down the way other anti-perspirants do. I have my days when I need an extra application.
