Aussie Moist 2 in 1 Shampoo

Smells nice, great price, too heavy.

Pretty good for a low-cost shampoo, but don't use it on fine hair! My hair is baby fine and there's a fair amount of it - after a few weeks of using this my hair felt heavy and looked greasy.

DuWop Revolution Tinted Body Moisturizer

Great!

This stuff is great - I tried some recently at Sephora hoping I would snag a few free samples and have a laugh on them, but I actually went out and bought it! It feels a tad greasy going on but goes on pretty smooth and blends well. It hydrates and makes you look like you spent an afternoon in the sun and not in a hunched in a sun-starved cubicle. The only drawback is I think it may be darkening the look of my pores - they are large as is and prone to blackheads.

Suave Naturals Invisible Solid Antiperspirant/Deodorant

T-e-r-r-i-b-l-e

I bought this deodorant because it was on sale - I should've known. On week two I became entirely paranoid that I was developing a sweat problem. My shirts smelled just horrible at the end of the day. And it was the winter time, when I barely sweat. Just when I was about to quarantine myself for the good ofallla round me, it dawned on me - its that f-#$%I^% deodorant! I stopped using it, and am happy to say am no longer experiencing "second puberty." Do yourself a favor and stick to Ban.

GoSMILE PM Tranquility Luxury Toothpaste

Great for Oprah, So-So for Me.

This toothpaste was given to me as a gift from a friend who billed it as "Oprah's favorite toothpaste" - i knew I was in for a treat. You know she wouldn't waste her time with some crappy toothpaste. Well the first time I used it, I fell in love. It has a subtle, downright weird, lavender taste that just...works. It felt like my mouth was on a Caribbean vacation. When I found out the price tag, my dreams were shattered. Oprah can afford to use this toothpaste on her dogs, but I guess I'll have to wait until next Christmas to experience this stuff again.

Fekkai Pomade Cristal

Good Product, Not for Everybody.

This product really worked for me... when I had short hair. It was originally given to me by a male friend who never used it much. I thought the scent was really nice - clean and sexy - but a little too harsh for me (I really like more masculine scents, but this was downright manly - I felt like I was wearing Speed-Stick on my head). I can only speak for myself as a gay woman, but I can't imagine a typical straight guy thinking this scent was pretty on a girl. Its a really unique texture - clearly the formulation of this stuff was more sophisticated than a simple wax. And when used sparingly on short hair, it is a real godsend. But on longer hair the piece-iness turns into greasiness.
