I LOVE this shampoo for my frizzy, thick hair. It lathers well, cleans hair without stripping, and smells fresh and light. It's also a great bargain!

This is a nice drugstore conditioner. I have very tangly, highlighted hair and after using this, it helps me comb through the knots and tangles more easily. The product is thick and creamy, and it smells great!

Cleansers -Acne.org - Cleanser
rated 5 of 5
Yelena1981 9/3/2010 4:45:00 PM

This cleanser is fantastic! I love that it has a pH of 5.5 because it matches the pH of healthy skin and won't dry skin out. One or two pumps of cleanser produces plenty of lather and it really gets my face clean, without a tight feeling afterward. This cleanser has minimal ingredients and it is fragrance free, which I also love.

Conditioner -John Frieda - Sheer Blonde Lustrous Touch Strengthening Conditioner w/Satin Finishers
rated 4 of 5
Yelena1981 8/23/2010 1:55:00 AM

I can't say I love the scent (it smells like sunscreen), but this conditioner works great on my tangly, highlighted hair! It's much easier to comb through my long hair after I use this product. The conditioner is creamy and thick, but not too heavy or greasy at all. I like the squeeze tube packaging for ease of use. This is definitely worth a try.

Blush -Origins - Pinch Your Cheeks
rated 5 of 5
Yelena1981 8/3/2010 10:05:00 AM

I've been using this gel blush forever! I love it. Pinch Your Cheeks gives a super long-lasting pinkish raspberry stain to your skin. It makes you look healthy and glowing, not made up. You don't really see blush, it just looks like you went for a jog and your cheeks are flushed. Also, if you have acne-prone skin, this will not irritate it because it's water-based. Fantastic product!

Eye Makeup Remover -Clinique - Take The Day Off Eye Makeup Remover
rated 4 of 5

A little oily, but it works at thoroughly removing eye makeup without stinging. It's easy to apply with a cotton pad. The packaging is simple and no-frills.

Cleansers -MD Formulations - Facial Cleanser Sensitive Skin Formula
rated 5 of 5
Yelena1981 8/3/2010 9:26:00 AM

This is a very good glycolic acid cleanser with the proper pH to be effective. It's creamy and more of a lotiony cleanser, so it doesn't really lather. I find it to be pretty gentle yet it still works. If you have clogged pores, try this!

Cleansers -Neutrogena - Clear Pore Cleanser Mask
rated 5 of 5
Yelena1981 8/2/2010 7:25:00 PM

I was able to find two tubes of this at Walgreen's, so I grabbed them. I love this as both a cleanser and a clay mask. It feels great and works so well! I'm highly disappointed that Neutrogena discontinued this.

Yes, this is very expensive but it's worth every penny! Most amazing concealer I've ever used. It covers circles and blemishes easily, and it really lasts! It's not cakey or dry, nor is it greasy. I'm highly impressed!!!

Fragrances -Bath and Body Works - Cotton Blossom - all products
rated 5 of 5
Yelena1981 12/27/2009 9:52:00 PM

I adore the Cotton Blossom products! The scent is a powdery fresh floral. It smells girly and clean. Bath and Body Works has made this a classic and brings it back for the semi-annual sale each year. I especially love the Cotton Blossom lotion.

I did not care for the scent of this lotion. It is strong and smells like a powdery, sharp floral that a grandmother would wear.

If you like sweet vanilla and caramel scents, you'll like this perfume. It's sweet, creamy, and powdery. My husband loves it on me! The bottle is gorgeous and looks great on a vanity. I find this scent lasts a while.

Lip Treatments -Alba Botanica - Passion Fruit Nectar Lip Balm
rated 5 of 5
Yelena1981 2/9/2009 3:18:00 AM

I was on the hunt for a lip balm that wouldn't smell or taste gross, and I decided to try this. It's amazing! It has a light, inoffensive fruit punch scent, and it has virtually no taste. There is no sunscreen in this balm, which might account for why there's no gross chemical taste. The balm goes on smoothly, and it does a good job of moisturizing dry lips. It's a winner!

Stunning shade! This is a must have for girls with blue or green eyes but I imagine it would work well for almost anyone. The formula is supberb. I wore this eyeshadow on my wedding day and it looked fabulous all day and night!

Cleansers -Purpose - Gentle Cleansing Wash
rated 2 of 5
Yelena1981 11/22/2008 2:02:00 AM

Purpose is a no-frills, clear liquid cleanser. It removes makeup and foams well but despite its claims that it is gentle, it dries my oily skin out and my face is tight and flaky after cleansing. Because of that, I can't give it a high rating. I much prefer Neutrogena's Fresh Foaming Cleanser. Some people have written that Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash is the same product as Johnson and Johnson's Head to Toe Baby Wash, but it's not. The ingredients are slightly different.
