I really like this chapstick. It is very lightweight and smooth and leaves your lips soft and slightly glossy which is nice from a chapstick. It's the only chapstick I have tried that isn't waxy and thick; and it even has SPF! Oh, and the scent is great--light and slightly fruity. A

This is a great, lightweight hand cream. It is rich and moisturizing but doesn't leave a sticky or greasy residue. I really swear by this hand cream for its simplicity--I am not one that is diligent with applying creams or waiting for them to be asorbed, if it's too complicated I will never use it. This cream absorbs quickly and lasts for a long time. It is pricey, but it is worth it for the ease of use and the quality.

This body wash is rich and moisturizing without being the least bit greasy or heavy--it rinses clean and leaves skin uber-soft. I don't need to use lotion after I shower when I use this product and I have a history of dry alligator-like skin. I used to marvel at the genious of in-shower body lotions, but Dove has really blown my mind with this one. They have saved me even more time as my skin feels just as good (or better) as it did using those products. I save time and money and my skin looks great. Fantastic product.

This lip balm is fantastic. It does a very good job of moisturizing and healing chapped lips and all of the tints are very sheer and flattering. I usually don't like products with menthol, a minty-fragrance, or that cooling sensation but this is my one exception. The big added bonus? It does a great job of plumping the lips (better than the pricier lip plumpers) and makes them look very full and pretty. I highly recommend this product.

This cream works well for smoothing unruly curls. It makes your hair soft, shiny and look controlled. This cream probably wouldn't work if you planned to sustain a blowout for a couple of days as it makes your hair slightly gummy--it would start to look a little greasy after a day. It is quite thick, so if you have medium to fine hair use less product and make sure to distribute it evenly.

I get razor burn every time I shave near my bikini area. Even though I have found a shaving lotion that saves my skin a lot better than other products (Kiss my Face moisture shave), I still need something to keep those pesky bumps away. This gel does a pretty good job of preventing razor burn and irritation. Make sure to apply it immediately after shaving for the best results. The only drawback to this product is it stings a little and feels really cold when you put it on, but the sensation fades quickly and it dries rapidly as well. This product coupled with my shaving lotion does the best job at preventing those ugly bumps.

This lotion is light, fresh and smells wonderfully comforting. I was originally drawn to it by the fragrance (a lot of Burt's Bees products have a really medicinal smell so I was surprised) but I was happy to discover that while this product is not 100% organic (but very close; 99.25% due to one preservative used), it is a nice, natural product with many organic ingredients and without other harsh chemical ingredients. It leaves my skin soft and hydrated. The only drawback is that it is the slightest bit sticky. Overall a good semi-organic choice with a fantastic fragrance and reasonable price.

I had HAD it with the razor bumps all over my legs from shaving. No matter what type of shaving cream or lotion I used they always seemed to crop up after I shaved. Then I decided to try this product and it changed my whole shaving experience. You only need to use a small amount of this cream to get a good lather that covers a large area of skin. It really protects the skin and actually adds moisture and has literally left me bump-free since I have been using it--even around my bikini area. Sounds too good to be true, but it really is an outstanding product. I use the Peaches and Cream variety myself. One tip: make sure to shake it up every so often to prevent the product from separating.

If I pay $20 bucks for a tube of mascara, it had better knock my socks off, well at least as much as Lancome Definicils. No such luck with this one, ladies. This is a good mascara, it makes your lashes thick and full and look good, but not $20 good. Maybelline Full n' Soft mascara and the new Neutrogena Healthy Volume mascara do the same job (the Neutrogena product really gives it a run for its money)for a reasonable $7 price tag. Save your money and get the same results.

The smudge-y, smokey texture and colors offered in this powder liner are great. This product makes it really easy to create a professional-looking smokey eye in no time without having to bother with a lot of products or complicated applicators. I was actually excited to see a budget cosmetics brand produce something that enables anyone (even those of us who are all thumbs) to achieve this look so simply. One pretty big drawback to this liner, however, is the clumsy packaging which almost guarantees powder residue on your table, hands, etc. Another is the chubby foam applicator that works for some looks but lacks the ability to give precise definition and also encourages powder residue to collect under your eyes. My tip: be careful when pulling the applicator out of the base and when you apply, lean to the side (the side of the eye you are applying the liner to), with your chin pointed down slightly, and use a handheld mirror-- the residue should fall away from your face. You can also dust translucent powder under your eyes to catch the falling powder and then brush it off afterwards, but this tends to give me a reverse racoon effect. Overall this powder is a great buy for what you can achieve with it, just watch how you apply!
