I find that I have a difficult time finding products that will relieve my headaches quickly. Tylenol Extra Strength is one of the only products that seem to do this - though it still takes about 15 minutes, which seems an eternity with a migraine. Once they kick in, they are highly effective, but there is one major down-side: THEY WILL KEEP YOU AWAKE!!! It seems that caffeine is one of the ingredients, which is good if you're looking to be productive throughout the day, but it's terrible to take in the evening and you'll be wondering why you can't get to sleep.
Overall, very effective, but don't take before bed.

I received this product for free as a member of ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I really didn't think that this product was going to add shine to my nails, but after trying this product, it looked like I had glossy clear nail polish on. Not only that, but my nails felt super-smooth. After such great results, I decided to use it on my toes, too, with the same beautiful results. I think it the Revlon Nail Buffer is a quick and effective alternative to polish. I will definitely use this product. -

Again, as with the shampoo and conditioner in this line, I loved the scent ~ and it remains all day, which is a definite bonus.
I loved that the product added shine and smoothed down some frizzies immediately after spraying it on. It seemed to last for quite a while and it wasn't heavy at all ~ a great summer product, for sure. I was a little disappointed that it didn't add softness to my hair the way that some conditioners do; however, when paired with the other products, it isn't needed as much and it may have weighed my hair down further. All in all, it was a good product, but definitely better when combined with the shampoo and conditioner in this line.

First of all, I love the scent. I went out shortly after using the product and people commented on the yumminess of it ~ I think I've already converted a couple of my friends to this product just based on that.
Secondly, I am overly worried about build-up and heaviness so when I saw the thickness of the cream, I was a bit skeptical. There was, however, no need to worry as the product moisturized wonderfully (leaving no frizz) yet left no build-up at all.
After my hair fully dried, I noticed my hair was much smoother, but it still moved well and was not greasy or weighed down. It also passed the final test that it was still great the next day so I didn't have to wash it every day (which tends to dry out my hair).
I would definitely use this product again.

I was hesitant to try this product at first because I often find my thick hair weighed down even more, but I was pleasantly surprised. I only had to use very little to get a good lather (already a good start) and it seemed to wash away the residue from former shampoos, leaving my hair feeling light. It really felt clean and volumized.

The Dove Beauty Cream Bar was very good and left my skin really soft and moisturized. I did find the scent to be a bit strong, but it wasn't bad. My skin felt clean and soft and it did not leave residue. I would definitely purchase this product and recommend it to others.

Sad to say I'm not a fan of Burt's Bees lip balm. With an incredibly unpleasant, thick and waxy texture, this is definitely a product I would not recommend or repurchase. The most irritating thing about this balm is that it's very difficult to apply. Because the product is so hard/dense, I find I have to forcibly drag it across my lips in order to get a good coating. Flakies are not eliminated, but rather coated in wax and accentuated on the lips - gross! While the cooling mentholated effect is nice, it's not enough to make up for the lack of moisturizing benefits. I bought a tube, but only used it a handful of times before I tossed it - sadness!
The bottom line: A big, waxy letdown that offers few (if any) benefits. Though I like that it's natural, what does it matter if it doesn't moisturize?

I can't rave enough about this product ~ especially my colours. It's a graceful, coral-nude-pink with a dainty bit of shimmer. It goes with any outfit, looks great on both fingernails and toenails, complements my fair, warm-neutral skintone, and wears beautifully year-round.
It goes on mostly opaque in one coat, so if I'm in a rush, one good swipe on my nails is good enough, topcoat or no. It still looks best with two coats, though.
It also dries relatively quickly, takes about a week to chip (with a good topcoat, that is), and, for the amount of time I've owned it and and the frequency in which I wear it, hasn't thickened up in the bottle on me yet.

This shampoo has worked WONDERS for my dry hair!! I used to be trapped in the heat styling cycle--my hair was dry and frizzy, which would compel me to blow-dry and straighten, which only damaged my hair and added to the frizz. My hair has never looked this shiny, smooth, silky, strong, and overall healthy! Now my hair has the smooth texture that I used to only be able to achieve using a flat iron.
I have used Redken Smooth Down and Biosilk products in the past, and this shampoo works far better than both, and for a much more reasonable price! I recommend this to anyone who has dry hair and wants to rescue their hair from heat styling!

This eyeliner is creamy and pigmented and it literally glides on my lids. The colour is dark and stands out. When I saw how creamy these eyeliners were and how easily they glided on I was like great, they're going to smudge everywhere. This eyeliner, when you apply it will NOT SMUDGE. After a minute or so it seems as though it's tattooed to your skin. It lasts all day and doesn't fade or smear. While the packaging isn't great, I don't mind too much as the eyeliner, itself, is great. -
