I like this product and I have two bottles but I do not use it often, I think traditional lotions/creams work a lot better in giving you moisture. I am not really a fan of any spray products because a lot of the contents completely miss your body, I also feel its difficult to make you sure you completely covered everything as you can't really see it.
They do have a refreshing scent, your skin will feel somewhat hydrated but it will not last. It is non-greasy and non-sticky and does not stick to my clothing if I am getting dressed after I apply it because it absorbs quickly.

I love wax-melts but these were quite disappointing because I love Glade products and scents. These were kind of just blah. I don't think they smelled very much what was being advertised on their package and I purchased a few because they were on sale and tried different scents and whatever smell they DID give off didn't last very long. I chucked the packages in my junk-drawer in my kitchen and forgot about them until I was cleaning and just tossed them out altogether. They weren't overly expensive so it wasn't a big loss, I think I have just used so many different wax-melts that these really didn't measure up. I do, however, really like the wax-burner that Glade retails to go with this product, I just use other melts in it. -

I've had braces for a little over a year now and I had a really hard time finding a toothbrush that cooperated with them. Bristles always seemed to pull out of my brushes and get stuck in my wires or brackets and I had to struggle to try and get them out. I was recommended an electric toothbrush but those just aren't for me, I don't feel they clean as well as a manual toothbrush or get anything out of my braces.
I purchased this toothbrush a few months ago and not one bristle has fallen out yet, I usually need to replace my toothbrush by now because they wear so quickly and half the bristles are gone. The bristles are still firm and get into the hard-to-reach spots between my brackets. This was also my first time using an Oral-B brand brush, my mouthwash and toothpaste are colgate so I preferred to keep it all the same but I was just getting so tired of the quality of the brushes and it was also starting to get pricey.
I was also told from my ortho that I was brushing my teeth a little too much/too hard and it was causing some wear on my gums, I felt like I had to brush harder because my old brushes just were not getting and doing what I needed. Since using Oral-B I feel I am able to brush a little less aggressively and hard on my gums which should help to correct the damage caused previously.

The super cute packaging caught my eye and I just had to try it and I am very glad I did.
I am more pale and also very cool-toned, it is very hard for me to pull off any bronzer as they are all too warmed toned and looks very unnatural and fake. This product applies so well, not thick or overwhelming and blends easily and even makes my complexion look smoother. It does fade and it even lasts through hot, humid weather which is great because I only really wear bronzer in the summer. I also really like the little blush hearts, I think it helps your makeup to look more natural when you add more tones instead of being one shade through your entire face.
It IS a little pricey compared to other drug-store bronzers but it is designed for sensitive skin, which is a bonus and the staying power is better. Other products need to be reapplied to keep your glow and with this product its a once a day application.

While I was studying aesthetics/cosmetics it was required that we wear a red lipstick every day and it was also required that it looked fresh and sharp. I spent so much time a lot of time trying different lipsticks that would last for an entire day without needing to be reapplied too often as it was getting expensive to have to keep replenish my lipstick as a student.
This lipstick quickly became my everything. It was long-lasting, excellent selection of shades to compliment any and all skin tones, did not rub off, did not leave my lips feeling uncomfortable or dry - just perfect. Application was easy and did not "bleed" into the skin around my lips and there was no need for a lip liners. We also had to wear a white uniform everyday and I never had a problem with the lipstick transferring from my lips onto my uniform when I would change out of it. This was over 3 years ago and I have experienced and owned many different lipsticks since then and these are still my number one choice and recommendation.

Excellent product especially if you have sensitive skin. The beads in this scrub are smaller and softer than your traditional scrubs to prevent any breakouts or irritation and there is also La Roche Posay Thermal Water in the product to help soothe and nourish the skin while exfoliating.
I was very happy with the feel of my skin after I use this product. I had a few dry, flaky patches of skin around the corners of my nose and after two back-to-back uses of this product it was good as new. All the dead cells were off my face and it felt brand new.
The tube is quite small and it can seem pricey for the amount you are getting but it IS only recommended to only exfoliate once, maybe twice a week depending on how oily you are so one purchase should last quite a long time. If you are extremely intolerant to exfoliating I can almost guarantee this product will work for you.

NIVEA In-Shower Cocoa Butter Body Lotion

I was very skeptical when I first heard about this product. I felt the product wouldn't have enough time on the skin to provide any benefits and it would go in, wash off then go down the drain with the money you just spend on it but I was SO wrong. I only purchased it because it was on sale and there was a 2$ coupon attached so it only came to 2.99$ and I just wanted to check out the hype.
I have exfoliated before applying the product each time so far, so I am unsure of how well it will work on un-exfoliated skin. My skin was SO soft and so hydrated, I really couldn't believe it. It didn't leave any residue on my skin (however there was a small film along the sides of my shower), and I smelled like I had just walked out of the shower all day.
I love the feeling of being moisturized but I hate the feeling of trying to get dressed when your skin is still absorbing product and your clothes seem to stick to you, this is a great solution if you have the same problem or if you are ever running short on time and need to be great.
I will definitely be purchasing again - even if it is not on sale, it is still reasonably priced and worth it.

I did some training with Babor a few years ago when I discovered this foundation and I used it for a few years. It has very high coverage and has a bit of a thicker consistency than an average foundation but not overwhelming or heavy feeling on the face. Blends and spreads easily so you really only need a small amount but if you do apply too much I feel the product can look a little bit cakey. It did help to eliminate any shine and also minimized the huge pores I have around my nose.
I recommend applying the product with a brush because it seemed that when I would use my fingertips the rubbing and the generated heat seemed to alter the texture and consistency of the product.
I no longer use this product only because I feel it pricey for the amount you get. I wear my foundation everyday and it was just becoming pricey, however if you are somebody who only wears foundations on special occasions then this would be a great product to purchase and use from time to time when you want to look your best.

This is my BB cream go-to during the summer time. It is a nice light texture that doesn't feel heavy on your skin and although it does not offer high coverage it does leave your skin looking soother, more even and natural.
The packaging says it offers 8 benefits: Blurs Imperfections, Brightens, Evens Skin Tone, Smooths, Hydrates, Enhances, SPF 30 and 0% Oils and other Heavy Ingredients and I feel all of those claims hold true for the product.
I am quite cool-pale toned and the #100 Light blends into my skin perfectly, not too dark and also not orange which is a problem for me when it comes to BB Creams.
Thee only real negative comment I have is that it does not last very long and within a few hours in humid weather it starts to wear. I am able to make it lasts longer if I apply a setting powder or spray over top but I like the BB Creams because they are a one-step easy application and I'd rather not add any extra steps. L'Oreal BB Magic has a stronger, longer lasting hold but the shades are all very orange-tinted for me so I still prefer the Maybelline Dream Fresh.
On a side note, I have purchased this the other day and it comes in a new packaging. It no longer says SPF 30 on the tube so I am unsure if they changed the formulation because I even checked the ingrediants and I didnt recognize any as a sunscreen (to my knowledge). It also now says "pomegranate extract" on the front but I do not feel any difference in texture or quality.

I used this product a few years ago and it really did work and quickly. It cleared up all my acne, blackheads and any shine on my forehead/chin were gone but it made my skin very dry and irritated. I began to develop very itchy red patches all around my face, primary on my t-zone areas - probably because I really focused on those areas during application.
Every time I would pick at or scratch a patch skin would flake off and there would just be even more dry skin underneath. I went from just having minor acne to having ugly redness and irritated spots allover my face and I think I would have prefered to have the acne. I tried to increase my water intake in order to hydrate my skin and I also applied moisturizer everyday and night and it did not help at all, I had to discontinue use after about two weeks.
The product stops acne and breakouts by literally sucking out any and all oils from your face and you skin NEEDS these oils to maintain proper health and function.
I do not recommend this product, although it will clear your acne and it is quite cheap there are just safer, more moisturizing and safe anti-acne treatments out there that do not typically have any side-effects or irritations.
