Shampoo -Unlisted Brand - The soap works tee tree oil soap bar
rated 4 of 5
loverofproducts 2/18/2013 1:15:00 PM

Even though this is a bar soap i'm reviewing it as a shampoo. As a body soap, it worked great for my skin (and even though i don't have back acne, it didn't cause anything and prevented it from further occurring cause it does happen when i use soaps with mineral oil). My skin DID feel a little tight after, meaning i definitely think its drying so for body i would want a more moisturizing soap but after i put on a little bit of lotion on my body i can't really tell the differnece. It works great on my face too.... but i''m not sure if it's leaving residue behind or not.... NOW, for the hair. I really wanted to try a shampoo bar but can't find any natural ones around my area, and was very confused (and i don't like ordering form online). So, when i was shopping at bulk barn, i came across their bar soaps for body and thought, why not try it on the hair since the ingredients are similar and natural. First, you should try it on you rhair only after you've clarified your hair using whatever you use, (baking soda, vinegar, or a clarifying shampoo). I used head and shoulders because it's super drying and i hate it but it really strips everything from my hair. Then, I used this (REALLY LATHERS ALOT :D) with a vinegar rinse after (i'm sill having trouble figuring out proportions). The result was very soft hair. I think it does leave behind residue (especially if you don't use a viengar rinse) but i'm tying to figure out a way to fix that. hopefully i'll figure out a way because i luv the way it makes my hair feel and how manageable my hair becomes

Hair -Unlisted Brand - Apple Cider Vinegar

I used the Heinz acv - (even though i bet the braggs might work better in making it more shinier, but it was more expensive). I bought the 1 litre for like 2.37 or something, which was an ok price to me, especially in comparison to conditioners and shampoos. I really wish this coudl be used alone as a shampoo, but i don't think it can, unless you slowly stop using shampoos and conditioners. I have this very drying shampoo, that works great but is drying, and i'm trying to finish taht, so i used that . First, I put 1/3 acv and 2/3 water, in a spray bottle and sprayed it in all parts of my scalp and gently massaged. I left it in for 25 minutes- 40 minutes. Then, I shampooed regularly, and because i could feel a little itching, i sprtized it in a few problem places, and put a very gentle (and not super conditioning) conditioner on the very tips of my hair. Then I rinsed :D I have done this twice already, and my head does not itch, except occasioinally maybe 2-3 times a day, i feel a small itche which will hopefully go away later. Also, I had to watch my hair only on the 4th day, because my head didn't get oily/ produce much oil till then. I htink it works great at removing residue, and the smell did take approx. 1/2 day to go away complete/ until my hair got dry, and then it didn't smell at all. Amazing so far. :)

Lips -Nivea - nivea acai berry and wild apple lip smoothie
rated 4 of 5
loverofproducts 9/6/2012 4:27:00 PM

I LOVE this product because it's one of the best lip balms/ treatments/ lip tint thing i've ever tried. (only 2.89$$$$$) I'm in highschool so i don't want like lipstick or anything, but i wanted a very slight tint to my lip. Also, i wanted something moisturizing. I used burt's bees but it's too expensive (which means it's a rip off) and not worth the money in my opinion (because no lip balm in my opinion no matter how good it is should be that much). Anywayzzzz... this has a beautiful very light tint to it (on my lips.... i'm not sure about other people), it's so nice and creamy, does not leave white residue on my lips as i've experienced before, and .... I LOVE THE SMELL! <3 - it's like a hint of apple and starbust type thing. I honestly thought i wouldn't like the smell because i didn't like burt's bees acai berry lip balm smell... but i loved this. Dep. Repurchasing and it was only 2.89 or something :D

Masks -Unlisted Brand - Oatmeal
rated 5 of 5
loverofproducts 8/13/2012 2:03:00 PM

AMAZING! helps hear my scars and is very moisturizing, helps get rid of or minimize zits/ acne..... and is really soothing. Also, it's so creamy and improves the texture of my skin, and i'm hundred percent sure it makes my skin glow. It's definitely worth a try (unless u r allergic to it) :) Give it a try after ur cleanser then apply a really good moisturizer (at night) such as coconut oil (which i do) and in the morning, the results ... if u don't have reactions.... are AMAZING! (p.s ... i only use at night)

Treatments -L'Oreal - Hair detangler (l'oreal kids)
rated 2 of 5
loverofproducts 8/10/2012 11:18:00 AM

I don't know if something went wrong with my bottle or anything, but sadly, it didn't work out for me. i was so excited, and it did detangle i think (i don't quite remember since this was a while back).... but after 5 or so hours, something started smelling like urine. I looked everywhere, and realized that EWWWWW it was my HAIRR!!! everyone noticed. It was so embarassing, and i never used it again. my sister recently used it, and i'm not sure, but i think i detected that urine scent too. ewww aldhslgahglahg . I may try again once more before giving up

Fragrances -Bath and Body Works - Vanilla Bean Noel Body Splash
rated 3 of 5
loverofproducts 7/31/2012 7:32:00 PM

When I first bought this... I was in LOVE. I wore it everywhere and anywhere and thought I smelled like marshmallows and got a kazillion compliments on it too. It was too overpowering for me at first, but I got used to the after smell which was more subtle. Now when I smell it, I feel like throwing up :( .. its sickeningly too sweet and smells like chemical and artificial vanilla and marshamallow. Definitely won't repurchase :(

Fragrances -Bath and Body Works - Fine Fragrance Mist in Pink Chiffon
rated 4 of 5
loverofproducts 7/31/2012 7:27:00 PM

I LOVE THIS SCENT and it's my favourite so far from bbw. It's not tooo strong, and is nice, girly, frilly, with a deep scent somewhere in there. It lingers, and smells nice... though i was getting annoyed by it over time. Unfortunately I lost it :( . Still, I think I would purchase this again and it's very light weight and easy to use. It's slightly too expensive in my opinion, but oh well, it lasts long :)

Lotions/ Creams -Bath and Body Works - Japanese Cherry Blossom-lotion
rated 3 of 5
loverofproducts 7/31/2012 7:19:00 PM

I have 2 bottles of this, both as presents, and it's a overall good scent. The only problem is I don't like powerful scents, and this for one, is very powerful! It's nice, floral, a light sort of bubbly (bubbly gum and floral) scent to it, and is nice. It also smells sorta like perfume if you use too much. It's nice, but a little too expensive and just not for me, because it's heavily scented and not natural or half natural as I like it... though it moisturizes well/ okay :)

Lip Gloss -Bath and Body Works - Liplicious Whipped Vanilla
rated 4 of 5
loverofproducts 7/31/2012 7:17:00 PM

I loved this as a lip gloss with a slight tint, but the only reason i don't think i'll buy it again is because it was too expensive.... and i found the mint one better... but i may buy it again now that i think about it so .... pros - taste good! :) (like vanilla frosting) - smells like vanilla frosting and sweet - nice beautiful pearly shine and light tint cons - 7$ i think :( - I HATE the sparklessssss (or whatever it is) just becuase i can feel it when i rub my lips together... and i find it annoying :( ... i still like it :)

Misc Beauty Tools -Goody - Ouchless Thin Elastics
rated 4 of 5
loverofproducts 7/31/2012 7:05:00 PM

These are great, a good brand, don't hurt becuase there's no metal clasp... and it's a good price for an abundant of them my only problem is they're too thin for my thick curly/ wavy hair so they break easily if I pull too hard :( Overall it's great but I just prefer and would buy the ouchless elastics that are thick instead :) :P

Misc Beauty Tools -Goody - Ouchless Thick Black Elastics
rated 5 of 5
loverofproducts 7/31/2012 7:03:00 PM

I love these hair ties! - i hate hair ties with metal pieces or ones that are poorly connected by glue and rip really easily - this is thick enough and there were about 20-30 hair ties for 4.97 i think which was worth it since they last long and are thick so they don't break easily. It's easy, convenient, and doesn't hurt :)

Conditioner -Live Clean - Professional Healthy Balance Conditioner
rated 4 of 5
loverofproducts 7/31/2012 6:48:00 PM

I love the brand LIVE CLEAN! It's natural (98%) and that means more effective healthy results for your hair. pros - amazing smell (sniff it at your local walmart/ rexall/ shopper's ;) - thick and you only need a small amount - good for curly THICK hair - easy to comb through, does not create tangles - healthy ingredients= aqua, willowbark extract, lavender extract, matricania flower extract, rosemary leaf extract... and more! cons: - I think it leaves some residue... so i don't apply directly to scalp but from mid hair length to the ends i got this for more than 3.97 i think (since that's the regular amount for live clean shampoo's... but this is"professional".... but they have 1 $ coupon on their facebook website so it wouldn't have been more than 4 dollars and it lasts long :) (u can get their other conditioners which i bet work great for 2.97 with the coupon obviously)

Accessories -Goody - Stay Put hair elastics
rated 2 of 5
loverofproducts 7/31/2012 6:26:00 PM

I love the style, and brand, and the whole idea of it... but for me it didn't work out. It just ripped my hair out after when I tried to take it out, because of the grip :( and if it's gonna rip my hair out, it's not worth it for the price (which i think was 4.97!) edit: i know now, it wasn't good for my hair because i was trying to tie it on my thick curly hair, and its made for straight hair, or more sleeker hair, because sometimes the smooth hair ties don't stay in place for that type of hair.
