This might be my favorite Bath & Body Works scent; it is light (I don't get a headache 15 minutes after spritzing it on) and not too fruity or girly. It has a tropical lilt that instantly lifts your spirits and smells clean and fresh. The one drawback? It's an Eau de Toilette so don't count on it lasting all day.

My Mom bought this for me because she thought it looked like something that might work for my dry, somewhat sensitive skin when it was on sale through Avon. It works like a dream; it's very creamy yet light, sinks right in, is never sticky and smells really yummy (not what you'd expect). I would suggest buying it when Avon puts it on sale (happens every other issue or so) and trying it out. The only real drawback is that you have to order it which means a little extra money and time waiting for it to come which is a bit of a hassle for body lotion, but if you like it you can always stock up.

This concealer is great, no doubt: it covers circles well (at least as well as most other drugstore brands), brightens up the eye area (the highlighter works great), and smooths out undereye creases (at least on my young skin)but what's with the tiny tubes? I was out of concealer long before highlighter. Stuff like that drives me nuts, packaging is sleek but not realistic-- if I'm going to pay 8 bucks for a drugstore concealer (albeit a good one) I'd like a tad more OF it, please.

These eyeshadows are quality. All the combinations are complimentary and go on very smooth and seamless. They have great staying power and lots of shimmer (which I like). Another big plus? The super-cute little mod white case that is magnetic! It's so easy to open and close and for those of us (like me) who are a little klutzy, you can drop this case as much as you want, the magnetic closure and strong plastic make the package almost indestructible. Genius.

This cream is only for the driest skins, others will find it way too emollient. That being said, this cream is great. It is very moisturizing (it takes a while to get it all rubbed into skin) and thick but always makes your skin feel soft, firm, and intensely hydrated in the morning; you will not believe it. It is a tiny bit greasy/sticky when you first apply, but what it does for your skin is well worth it.

Okay, so the description sounds like this stuff would smell like a caesar salad, but not so. Somehow it smells deliciously fresh, rich, and comforting. It is a dream; it moisturizes dry skin (cuticles, knees, heels, elbows, everything!) beautifully and is never heavy or greasy. One gripe? Why the tub? It's kinda gross having to stick your fingers in there to get the product out and it's a bit difficult to spread over larger areas. Overall, A!

This night cream is slimy, sticky, and smells very very strongly of grandma's perfume. It does nothing for my skin but sit right on top and stick to my pillow. I like Olay as a brand and was attracted to this product for the price, but this is definitely one to skip. Boot's Botanics makes a wonderful emollient night cream that is a little more pricey but well worth the price.

Alright, ONCE and for ALL. Your pores do NOT open and close! The warming sensation only works on the psyche, not the skin. It feels nice, but it is no better than any other basic cleanser. While it touts green tea as one of the ingredients it is too trace to make a big difference. It also leaves a bit of a residue on the skin even after repeated rinsing. Yuck. Skip this one.

Okay, I'm all about great deals and finding products for less that perform just as well as the pricier brands, but in appliances (especially flat irons) this is NOT the way to go. I tried this straightening iron because it was a cheaper alternative to the pricier ceramic irons, but it is a waste of money. Save your money and buy one of the more expensive flat irons; it won't cost you much more and is a much better value considering it'll last you forever and perform 100 times better. (I have the FHI heat iron and it is fantastic, I got it on sale for $75 and it is WELL worth it).

I only wash my hair about 3 times a week (I have naturally curly hair that I straighten regularly) and this shampoo does a great job of giving me a clean slate. It rids my hair of product build-up and oil and makes my other more moisturizing products work better after using this first. This product is cheap and comes in a nice big bottle. It is perfect for my hair needs.
