This product is just okay. I THINK it does a pretty good job of protecting my hair from the heat but has not made an impact on the amount of frizz or flyaways I have after blow drying, so who knows. There are budget brands out there that do just as good of a job (Tresemme and Sunsilk make pretty good ones) for a lot less cash.

I bought this foundation based on all of the glowing reviews I read. It didn't disappoint, but it didn't wow either. This foundation has smoothed some of the beginnings of fine lines around my eyes which I appreciate and does have a nice, dewy, natural no-makeup finish. The quality is similar to other drugstore brand foundations I have used (close to Revlon's colorstay moisturizing foundation), nothing spectacular there. The one thing I don't like? It leaves my skin with a slightly sticky feel which stays even through powder application. Booo.

Urban Decay has some great quality products and they aren't afraid of a little color. Their eyeshadows are definitely no exception; they are smooth, richly pigmented, and stay on great. The one drawback? The glittery shadows. Big chunks of glitter that stray all over my face and into my eyes and make me look like a seventh grader on her way to a dance? No, thanks. This kit is a great price for the selection of colors and the quality (oh, yeah, and toss those little applicators; they're cute, but cheap and dated. Brushed would've been a step up).

I absolutely love this brush. Not only does it apply powder like a dream (hello, flawless skin!), this brush is the softest you will ever feel (seriously), AND it's cruelty-free. Normally synthetic brushes are a trade-off on quality but not this baby. I've had this brush for a of couple years and if you take good care of it it'll be your best friend for a long time. It is well worth the price for the quality. A+

This deep conditioner works like a charm on processed hair. It leaves it feeling smooth and less brittle right from the shower. It rinses clean and didn't leave a residue on my fine, curly hair. My hair is colored and I use heat appliances to straighten my hair and this conditioner helps relieve the blow.

I am not a fan. This stuff is too slick, too runny, and is a pain to wash off. It leaves skin soft, but it feels nasty on the skin and doesn't have a very pleasing scent. Much much better options out there for dry skin (one to try: Dove's Pro-Age Cream cleanser; even if you don't have mature skin. It works great).

I have been using these makeup remover pads since high school and I love them, they work great. They get all traces of eye makeup off without irritation. I have actually rubbed me actual eye with these before on accident (it happens) and they are as gentle as water. I would still be using this product if I hadn't discovered the ease of Neutrogena's Fresh Foaming Cleanser; it is just much faster.

I got this brush in a set with a fluffy eyeshadow brush and case. The eyeshadow brush is unimpressive (it doesn't pick up enough product to deposit) but the powder brush is excellent. It is sleek and smart looking and the bristles are soft and sturdy and deposit just enough product. This is the best budget applicator I own.

This is a great shower gel; it smells very fresh and moisturizes without being too heavy. It is perfect for summer when your skin needs moisture but not too much to feel heavy in the heat. It often goes on sale, so wait for a good price and stock up!

The Pear scented variety is my favorite. It smells so amazing, I just wish they'd clue into what Dove is doing and create body spritz to go along with it (they do make some aerosol shimmer spray stuff that looks like it's made for the pre-teen set that I wouldn't touch). Works great!
