This is one product I always have in my house. It is multi-purpose, affordable, and easily found anywhere! My primary use of this product is for my lips; I apply it before I go to bed to wake up to softer lips, and I sometimes put it on before my lipstick/stain/etc. for a smoother application. Other than that, I also use it for dry elbows, cracked skin, cuts/scrapes/burns, and even for eyelashes! A definite must-have. -
Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella

I am a huge Sophie Kinsella fan and I have read all of her novels. But this one was a huge letdown! I was very excited to read this, and I bought it as soon as it came out. It just was not as great as her other novels, and definitely not what I was used to reading from her. If you have not read any of her books yet, don't make this your first one. It is an average read, and definitely not the one to get the best first impression of Sophie Kinsella. -
Fifty Shades of Grey

I admit, when the hype started, I ignored it and told myself I would not follow along. But I finally gave in! I read all three of her books, and I did enjoy them. Christian Grey definitely has that bad-boy-exterior-but-inner-softie thing down. I think a lot of women will find themselves lusting after this character! I must say that the writing is not good. The author uses the same wording frequently through all three of the books, and you will be let down if you are looking for a well-written novel. However, I don't think that's what most of us were looking for when they sat down to read this. It is a definite guilty pleasure! -
Danone Activia Yogurt

I love almost all yogurt, but I'm not a fan of this one. First, I wish the container was bigger. I also don't think it helps with digestive problems. I have not noticed any results, but maybe it's just me. Lastly, I feel that it tastes more artificial than it used to, and it's almost too sweet. -
Gillette Venus & Olay Razor

This is my new go-to razor. I've always used Venus razors, but this one works so much better. You don't need any shaving cream, because there are moisture bars above and below the razor. This helps it glide across your legs, and it leaves your legs feeling extra smooth. And the smell- amazing! My one gripe is that after each use, the moisture bars get smaller and smaller, so you can only use it effectively about five or six times. But that's actually when you should start replacing your razor blade, so it's not too bad. -
eos Organic Smooth Spheres Lip Balm

I went through two of these lip balms- the lemon (yellow) and the strawberry (baby pink). On the plus side, the container is super cute, and my favorite thing about it- the domed shape of the actual balm makes it really easy to apply. To be honest though, I think that's where most of this product's appeal lies. Before this lip balm started popping up everywhere (it is in everyone's purses these days!), I remember the reactions girls would have upon seeing the egg-shaped lip balm. It's different, and it had that "gotta-have-it" factor; it was appealing! It also comes in cute colors, and it makes you want to start your own collection. When you get down to the actual lip balm, though, it's not that great. It is similar to many other lip balms, and you can get the same thing in a tube for a lower price. Also, the almost-rubbery texture of the container will attract dirt, and after a while in your bag, it becomes dirty- not so cute anymore. :( -
Frederic Fekkai Marine Summer Hair Beach Waves

I used to love this spray, and I went through two bottles of it. BUT, when I bought it this year, something was different! I swear they must've changed their formula, or something. When I bought this previously, the bottle was all orange. This year, the bottle is still orange, but there is a blue design on it and it says "MARINE". It also has a cooling effect now, which should be great for the summer heat. However, this just didn't work for my hair anymore! I think those that have thicker hair, or a lot of hair, may find that this works for them. I have thin hair, and not too much of it, so it was too heavy for me. It actually killed my waves a little and weighed down my hair. The smell, though, has not changed, and it will still make your hair smell DIVINE. -

I love this lotion. I have used it since I was a baby. I love the smell, the texture, and how it glides on easily. One thing to note, though, is that if you're using it on yourself, it is a very light lotion. It is not the best for dry skin that needs a lot of moisturizing. Your skin soaks it up quickly, but it also does not last. It is great for every day use, though. -
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar

I have mixed feelings about this product, but I feel that for the right person, it can work really well. The texture is very liquidy, and you need just the tiniest amount for your lips. I love the colors, but I feel that even the light pinks were too harsh for me. They are extremely pigmented, which can often be a good thing; I guess I was hoping for something a little more natural. Regardless, you will definitely get your money's worth with this. Just try it out beforehand to make sure you're into the color. FYI, the sales associate at the NYC store was super helpful and kind. -
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer in Clear

I've gone through about four of these primers, and I will continue buying more! It is super easy to apply and goes on smoothly. You only need to use a little, so it will last a while. I don't even wear foundation, but I use it before I put on my concealer, blush, etc. It makes your skin a little more flawless, and is a great base for whatever you use afterwards. -
