I love Kleenex and I always like to have them all over the house - you just never know when you might need one!
I am so excited that the have released some in cuter and more decorative designs, the older boxes were very dull and plain. These now have a function and also brighten up a room, I can't wait to see what other new designs and colours they will have out.
They did increase the price a little bit for these but nothing drastic or non-affordable. Also, the quality of the actually tissues are still good. Thick, durable and soft on your skin and nose.

This was an average conditioner to me - Dove hair products do not impress me too much.
As a conditioner it worked fine, my hair felt smooth and easier to brush but as a Colour Care Conditioner, not so much. Didn't prolong my colour or make it shinier, my hair actually seemed to be dull.
I may recommend it or consider using it as a condtioner but I would avoid it if I had just coloured my hair.

Absolutely love this product - it is affordable and also is always on sale!
Firstly, it smells amazing. TRESemme products usually seem to smell all the same to me, like a boring shampoo. This product (and the rest of the Botanique line) smells very fresh and almost nutty.
It works great in humidity! I apply it to my hair after it's dried to take away any frizz and help hold everything. It has been fairly hot and humid lately and my hair still stays nice by the end of the day. You do not need too much either, my hair is more than half down my back and I only need a few pumps to thoroughly do my hair and ends. (I avoid my scalp area just to avoid greasiness or oils)

This is a great product if you are looking for an inexpensive treatment for your hair, but it isn't much favourite.
My hair did feel softer, shinier and smoother but it didn't seem to really last throughout the day. You'd need to use this every time you washed your hair and that might get expensive and also, I just don't want to do that.
Has a pretty boring smell also, it is the typical TRESemme Shampoo scent. Also, I am not entirely a fan of it being in a tube, I prefer hair masks/treatments to be in a jar form. It is just easily to get while in the shower.

This stuff goes on sale quite a bit and even at regular price it is still affordable - it comes in a bigger bottle and so you get a lot of product for the price as well.
It isn't the best conditioner I've ever tried and it also isn't the worst. I did feel my hair got oilier quicker throughout the day but my ends did seem to be less damaged after one use. Also, my hair was a lot easier to brush after using this product, my hair is very long and usually brushing after a shower can be a hassle.
Not much of a unique scent to this stuff, it just smells like the rest of the TRESemme Shampoo line. I would probably repurchase again, but only if it was on sale.

This has to be one of the best inventions and is a definite must-have if you are an avid self-tanner.
This will give you a flawless and even tan without getting any residue/mess allover your hands. I have applied self-tanner many times where didn't get to wash my hands quite enough afterwards and I ended up with dirty-looking hands for about a week. You also will get no streaks or finger marks on your body, the mitt is so smooth and feels great. It fits a little awkwardly but once you get the hang of it, you'll be so glad you have it.
You'll need to clean it after each use in LUKEWARM water, I once cleaned mine in water that was too hot and it shriveled into a non-usable ball and I had to purchase another one. Thankfully, they aren't expensive.

This is only available in one "universal" shade and although the colour is perfect for me, I have a hard time believing it would match with any other tones. I have very dark brown brows and I feel it would be too dark for anyone with light red/blonde brows. I have tried and shown the product to many customers with lighter brows who quickly turned it down because it was too dark. So, even though it says Universal just make sure you try it first to be sure it'll work for you.
It is a double-ended product, one side is the actual Brow Pencil and the other is a Wax to help tame and shape your brow. I absolutely love the Waxed end. It is a soft consistency and feels smooth when applying. It also doesn't break, I have used other wax products like this that break and leave obvious residue allover my brows. This stuff looks natural and leaves no clumps on my brows - the wax makes this product worth the purchase. I think it retails for around $24 at SDM and it actually comes with a sharpener and a semi-okay brow brush.

These are cute bottles with a huge colour selection and also only $10 which is the cheapest I've seen "non-aesthetic" brand gels. I was an aesthetician and worked with higher-end nail products and I don't feel there is anything wrong with this gel. I wouldn't call it a gel though, it reminds me more of a Shellac-type.
It is very easy to apply and the consistency is just like a thick polish that doesn't clump, you just brush it on your nails the same way you would your polish except you cure it under your LED lamp. You do need to make sure that you apply an even amount of product onto your nail just because you may get bumps and waves in your application if you put too much.
As long as you prep your nail properly, avoid your cuticles/side walls and cure in the lamp for the appropriate amount of time then you should be able to get about a week. Mine usually last anywhere between 5-8 days, depending on how rough I am with my nails. My biggest problem was them fading/chipping on the tips from typing. The shine doesn't last much longer, when they begin falling off is also when they begin looking dull - you can always go over them with a top coat again to make them look better.
Some negatives - The scent is very strong and I will sometimes get a headache if I am working with it for too long. The bottles also leak very easily, it never matters how hard/tight I put on the caps, they always seem to spill and it gets so sticky and is very hard to get off.

This is a pretty average conditioner, nothing overly special about it but it does get the job done and it is relatively inexpensive as well.
I am not really a fan of the scent, I felt it had a very strong "citrus" type fragrance to it. But, the actually "conditioner" part of the product was good, my hair looked shiny/healthy and was easy to brush afterwards. I did feel it weighed my hair down a little bit and I didn't get as much volume as I normally look for but it felt smooth and soft.

I love keeping my makeup brushes clean, it makes them last loner, gives a better makeup application and is also healthier for your skin. This has been my favourite brush cleanser and also happens to be the cheapest of all the ones I've tried so that is just a bonus!
Firstly, it smells amazing - it smells just like typical shampoo and if I was to compare it ... I would compare it to a Tresseme fragrance.
All I do is apply one pump of shampoo in my hand per brush and I clean and squeeze the brush and the bristols, I have a lot of brushes and so my hands are wet/soapy for quite a long time when I cleanse my brushes and they are never left feeling dry, if anything they feel more moisturized from this shampoo and with very no residue or film left on my hands.
The shampoo is also very effective when cleansing my brushes, it gets deep into the bristols and removes anything "caked on" - sometimes I get busy and I go quite a while without cleansing and this product still gets everything out/off.
It is almost gross to see what comes out of the brushes, especially the foundation brush. The running water is just full of makeup and colours, so you know the product is working and doing its job. I would highly recommend this to anybody using any kid of makeup brush/tool
