Shampoo -L'Oreal - Kids Extra Gentle 2 in 1 Bounce Shampoo
rated 5 of 5

This stuff smells amazing! I know this is meant for kids but I have very fine hair and was pulled in by the promise of 'bounce'. Very nice product and does give some lovely volume but I will say that I hate 2 in ones and always use a conditioner to follow up.

Oh I love this stuff. I had used this years ago and hadn't continued use just because I was always wanting to try new products. I wish I'd stuck with it, I have a feeling my hair could have avoided a lot of dammage. It smells great, it's super inexpensive and it works! Who could ask for anything more?

Lipstick -Revlon - Colorburst Lip Butter - Cherry Tart
rated 5 of 5

I tried these and loved the texture and the hint of colour. I read on here the good reviews for this shade and decided to gave it a try. I was not disappointed. This is a beautiful shade of red and due to it's sheerness is very wearable. It isn't super long-lasting but I wouldn't expect that from a lip butter. Glad I found this :)

What a beautiful palette. Nicely pigmented and colours that everyone can use. Like another reviewer mentioned, I won't be needing to purchase eyeshadow for a long time. Definitely worth your money.

Treatments -Avene - Triacneal
rated 3 of 5

I received a sample of this and I must say that this has worked amazingly. I use it as a spot treatment at night after I moisturize. This has made a remarkable difference in my mild breakouts and even helped in fading old marks. It has made my skin alot smoother, healthier and even looking. I am floored that I am seeing such awesome results without having to get a prescription. Where has this stuff been all my life??? Update: I got away from this stuff and went to use it again and find that it's making me breakout. I realize that it's supposed to make your skin purge but as a rule, I hate products that do this, I don't see the need. I won't be using this anymore as I hate what it's doing to my face.

Fragrances -The Body Shop - White Musk Libertine edp
rated 2 of 5

I received 2 free samples of this in an online order. At first I couldn't decide whether or not I liked it, then I had a brief period where I thought I did. Now I've decided that it smells very old fashioned, I can't take a whiff without picturing an elderly lady. I think it's just much too powdery and floral for my taste.

This is too drying for my combination skin. I will give it another try in the summertime.

Concealers -TheBalm - Liquid TimeBalm Spot Concealer

Pretty pricey but definitely a great spot concealer. I love that this has teatree and actually helps to clear skin :) Nude is the perfect colour for my NC25 skin. It has great coverage and it blends nicely.

Lotions/ Creams -Nivea - After Shave Creme
rated 5 of 5

I can't say that I would repurchase this, as it is my husbands but I can confidently say that he will repurchase. He swears by this stuff to combat his razorburn. I used it after having my underarms waxed and they were feeling incredibly painful and sensitive. Instantly it burned but within a few seconds it was blissful relief and kept me from being as red and irritated.

I love this stuff! I know it's almost basically black but I see the purple! I like to wear this when I'm feeling vampy.

Polishes -OPI - La Paz-itively Hot
rated 5 of 5
amanda23 1/27/2012 6:47:00 PM

This is my hands down favourite hot pink polish of all time. It always makes me feel happy when I wear it. I believe OPI gives the best application and has the best staying power of any other polish line I've tried. This polish has the slightest bit of shimmer to it. I will buy this when I run out, which will be soon.

Cleansers -Neutrogena - Oil-Free Acne Wash

I saw a commercial for this stuff today, I hope nobody's still falling for it. I used this years ago and had awful results. My college roommate used this and her face was always cracked, raw and red. Pretty much sums up my experience with the stuff. Didn't have the heart to tell her.

Primer/ Corrector -Revlon - PhotoReady Perfecting Primer (color 001)
rated 5 of 5
amanda23 1/27/2012 6:40:00 PM

I'm impressed by this. Very inexpensive and works so well! Makes my skin the perfect canvas for my Mac Studiofix. Without this I tend to get shiny rather quickly. Going on 6 hours here and haven't had to do any blotting :) I'm so happy I've found a replacement for my Mac prep and prime, at a fraction of the price!

Shampoo -TiGi - Bed Head Dumb Blonde Shampoo
rated 3 of 5
amanda23 1/25/2012 5:39:00 PM

This stuff is just ok. I'm a little unhappy that I paid so much for something so average. I do like the pump that it comes in. I didn't really notice any major difference in the health of my hair. It does smell ok and I have a feeling it will last a long time as you need very little product to make a lather. Won't be repurchasing this waste of money. Also, for the title, I would have expected that it would have some kind of tone balancing colour in it.

Deodorants -Secret - Smooth Effects

This product is apparently being discontinued, at least in the store that I work at, so I stocked up. I have it in silky botanical and it smells beautifully fresh. Does a good job at keeping me smelling nice all day.
