II am always on the search for products to strengthen and help grow out my long-ish hair. This product has a nice light smell and glides on easily through wet hair - i havent tried it on dry hair-. I usually need to blow dry my hair in order for it to dry shiny and stright, but after applying this, Ive let my hair air dry, throwing the blow dryer on just for a minute towards the end of the air drying process. My hair dried pretty straight, soft, and shiny. The scnet doenst really seem to hold in your hair, so if you dont liek the scent, it wont last anyways. I cant say Ive noticed my hair looking any stronger through, but I would continue to use this, as it doesnt seem to hurt my hair!

I am on the never ending hunt to get rid of dark undereye circles. It was super exciting to receieve these eys pads to sampel from total beauty! I also suffer from a lot of sinus issues, which also effect my undereye skin and make my bags feel even darker and puffier. I put these on one morning before work and liked how soothing they felt and the refreshing scent. I would only recommend using these though if youre laying down or relaxing. I was up trying to start getting ready for work, and felt like these were moving around under my eyes, They also had a very thin tissue paper consistency so I felt like I had to keep readjusting them. I kept them on for about ten minutes, and when taking them off, noticed really no difference at all, which was disappointing. I had high hopes for these eye pads, but they didnt quite deliver.

Ill first say that Ive only put this product on my face one time, so I cant attest to the skin benefits it may offer. I was given this as a sample to review and really thought the glass pot was cute. I was immediately confused by the color, appearance, and texture for something called a mineral veil. Im a bare minerals makeup kind of gal, so when i see 'mineral veil' i immeidately think of mare minerals transpararent light pressed powder that goes over makeup to set it. This veil came in liquid form, was a dark green color, and appeared shimmery. I first, never put glittery or overly shimmery products on my face so i tried it out on my hand. The color blended right into my skin tone, but did appear to leave a noticeable shimmer. I tried this product again, this time on my cheeks to see how it would change the appearance of my face. Luckily, It did not appears shimmery on my face, but it also didnt seem to do anything- i ddnt notice a change in tint or anything and I proceeded to put the rest of my makeup on as usual. I dont know if I would keep putting it on my sensitive skin, as Im afraid it might cause a major breakout.

I was really impressed with this sample I recieved from total beauty. I loved the pretty light pink metallic tube, but was taken aback when i first saw the application brush. the bristles looked big and bristly, and I was afraid it would be a nightmare. Luckily, one swipe of this on my eyelashed really darkened them and made them appear much longer and fuller. At times, there would be a little clumping and smudging, but it wasnt usually a problem. I do think, however, that the "they're real" mascara (benefit i think) does abit of a better job at grabbing the lashes and lengthening and darkening. But overall, I liked the way it looked and apepared pretty natural

I recieved this product as a asmple to review and loved the packaging and fancy, expensive look of the tube. Presentation aside, I have veryy sensitive skin that will break out with any change in my routine so I was very hesitant to use it on my face, especially t zone. I tried this product on my hands and cheeks, as they are much less sensitive than my t zone. The product looks almost like cement coming out, but it smoothes onto skin nicely and has a nice light almost sandy texture, not an abrasive scrubbing exfoliant feel (think st ives apricot scrub-ouch!). I am going to try to slowly intoduce it to the rest of my face, because after using on my cheeks and hands, they felt smoothe and soft.

I recieved this product as a sample, and it soon became a staple in my purse. It has a rich texture, but the cream is light in that it would make u feel like you just rubbed body butter all over your hands like some creams feel- this absobs into skin quickly and effortlessly and keeps hands soft. The scent is light and its a great go-to cream in the winter months. Usually, i throw this on in the morning before leaving the house after my morning wash routine. Feels super hydrating!

I wasnt sure how this product was going to hide pores and was a bit of a disbeliever. I was impressed with the smooth texture, it glides and blends very easily into skin and actually does a good job at camoflauging. I dont have huge pores, but it worked well for my smaller pores and had a nice, matte finish. Really love the texture and feel like it could work well on any type of skin, as it seems even dry skin would flake with this silky cover

I recieved a large sampel of this in the Sephora sun safety kit and was excited to try it because i love BB's and loved the spf. I was kind of shocked when i squeezed it out onto my fingers and it was a garish cement-looking color with a pretty watery consistency. I was definitely skeeved, but tried it on anyways. Surprisingly, the color did blend pretty well wth my tone, gave me a bit of color (ive heard some ppl say it makes them look orange, not the case for me). It blends well and has a light to medium coverage, so i usually pair it with concealer. Overall, i like the product, but try to shake it up a little before applying or esle it can come out super watery

I was so happy to get sent this deoderant to review for total beauty. I usually stick to Secret solids, because i feel that they have more staying power, but Ive been impressed with this one so far! I like the dispenser and it goes on eeally smoothly and dries into my skin in seconds! I never get those deoderant streaks on my shirt when im wearing this. Although the scent is lightly fragrant when applying it, it seems to blend right in and i cant smell anything soon after applying it. its kept me dry on a few 90 degree NYC days!

I bought sea spray after reading many reviews about it . Its sold as a volumizer, but i noticed it giving my hair no added volume. In fact, it seems to weigh hair down a little but. After using it, my hair looked a little dirtier; this spray works more like a hairspray than volumizer. I used it again to spray and set my curls after using my curl wand and it really helped keep my curls in place. Actually, the main reason i love and use the product is the smell; it has a beachy tropical smell to it. I had gone out with a couple guys one afternoon and they couldnt stop smelling my hair, telling me i 'smell like vacation'. Its an added bonus ;) I wish the bottle was larger.. Also, It seems the best way to use this is not to spray directly on your hair, but rather on your hands and then scruch it into hair. When you spray directly, it gives it more of a greasy hair look. It also makes your hair a little firm- like a hairspray would
