My hair is pretty much 95% Batiste Dry Shampoo. This product is a life-saver and a hair-saver.
Over-washing can leave your hair feeling dry and damaged and this is a great alternative to limit hair washes without looking greasy and feeling dirty. You can also use it if you slept in and don't have time to wash or you just need to freshen up.
A lot of dry shampoo's feel thick in my hair and also leave that grey-undesired residue but this product does not. I do not even feel it or see it when I spray it onto my hair and roots. It adds instant volume to flat hair and it also comes in a few different scents that all smell great - I prefer the Tropical.
Price is reasonable and is in the average-range for a dry shampoo, you can get cheaper and I've tried the cheaper alternative and they really do not compare.

I have used better lip balms but I still very much like this product and I have purchased every colour/flavour and a few limited edition packs.
They do feel great on your lips, hydrating and soothing. HOWEVER, the light-blue, minty flavoured balm caused some serious burning on my lips that were already dry and cracked so I actually haven't used that particular balm in a while.
I feel other lip balms just make my lips LOOK better, more plump and healthy. These balms just left my lips looking normal even though they felt amazing.
Also, as much as I love the originality of the packaging, it is not practical. I can never fit them into my small purse and they are always rolling off my vanity and all over the place. I actually was able to find an EOS balm in a tube that came in a kit that also had the hand cream but I had not seen it in a tube since.

I am a lipbalm-aholic. I cannot live without a good lip balm and this is one of my absolute favourites.
I personally prefer the Dr. Baby Lips because of the medicated feel, it really does help to heal any dryness or chapped lips without feeling like it burns. Very comfortable on the lips and the hydrated feeling lasts for a long time.
Your lips even look hydrated and smooth even if they are more on the dry-side. If you purchase the Crystal Baby Lips then you will even have a bit of a shimmer added to your lips that isn't overpowering. They also have a decent amount of pigment for a lipbalm, I sometimes am asked what lipstick I am wearing and people are often shocked when I say it is a lipbalm. So, it is great for somebody who wants to wear a lipstick but feels their lips are too dry and the lipstick bleeds and sits in the cracks of your lips.
The product is offered in a variety of different shades and they sometimes release limited editions that I usually try to grab because they do sell quickly.

I really want to like these glosses because they do look great, have a great colour selection and the smell/taste amazing. Unfortunately, I would not re-purchase or recommend the product only because it was VERY sticky. A lot of lip glosses do tend to be a little bit on the sticky side but this was over-the-top stick and I had to take it off within a half hour.
I really wouldn't recommend it especially if you have longer hair, my hair got caught multiple times and I even had visible blotches of the gloss in my hair.

This foundation is just average, it does not really have a high coverage or a fantastic consistency/texture. I had to layer it a few times to reach my desired coverage level and at that point it felt heavy and it became obvious that I was wearing a foundation and I prefer a light, natural look.
I am also not a fan of the packaging, I feel it could be a little unsanitary for people whom use their fingers for application. You also need to tip the container over to get the foundation out and I feel that would get messy if you are not careful or are in a rush-which I usually am in the mornings. If L'Oreal changed the packaging into a pump I may be more inclined to re-purchase and just use it as almost a "back-up" foundation for when I run out of my usual and just need something quick to hold me over.

I am very picky with what products I use in my hair and I typically only use salon-quality shampoos. I was spending the night at a relatives and I had forgotten my bag at home and so I had to use whatever products she already had in the shower and this was it. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. It lathered nice and I did not need to use too much to get all of my hair (it is quite long). By the end of my shower the entire washroom was filled with this fresh and clean aroma of coconut.
After my hair was fully dry it felt hydrated and even looked healthy, the smell was also still lingering which was also pleasant.
I probably would not purchase only because I am very content with my current products, however I wouldn't not recommend it to somebody else.

I believe this product is a must-have for any and all beauty guru's out there.
It dries matte, highly pigmented and the line offers a variety of difficult colour shades to choose from and try. Unlike many matte lipsticks and lip creams, it did not leave my lips feeling dry or chappy. The product stayed and my lips felt comfortable.
This product is everything that is IN for lips right now and it is also affordable.

My hair is VERY important to me and it is also quite long so I am very picky with what products I use. I love receiving compliments on the length and how healthy it looks, I often get asked what I do to achieve it. I have used this for about a year and a half now, maybe a little more and I will continue to use it.
I only need to use about two pumps to effectively coat the ends of my hair and it does not leave any greasy residue in my hands or my hair, my hands actually even feel softer after applying. Do not apply the product too close to your scalp, just because the natural oils your hair produces and this may mix and that could leave your hair looking and feeling greasy or dirty.
It works great to tame frizz and any unruly pieces of hair. It seems to act like a band-aid that leaves any dry or dead-ends feeling smooth, hydrated and healthy.
It IS a little pricey and even a little more expensive than some salon-quality brands of dry oil I have seen but it is so worth it. There also has a matching Shampoo/Conditioner that Dove recommends you use with the oil and I have but I did not feel it added any extra benefits that the oil didn't provide on its own.
I honestly would buy this oil even if it smelled like garbage (not really, but you get it), the amazing Macadamia Oil scent is just an added bonus.

This product is great for somebody with very dry, dehydrated and flaking skin. I would not recommend to somebody with an oilier skin type as it's gel-like consistency could be problematic. I am more on the oily side and I felt it gave my skin a little too much moisture and just felt greasy and I also wouldn't recommend it during the summer months.
Although it wasn't the product for me I do still feel the quality of the product will highly benefit the appropriate customer. The texture was smooth, had a light-fresh scent which I don't believe would be irritating for sensitive skin. The only real downfall is the price as it retails for roughly 45$ and I have never seen it go on sale, I actually rarely see any Lise Watier products on sale. If you have the money to spare and a dry-skin type, this product would be for you but I do feel there are other moisturizing products that will give the same result at a cheaper price.

This is a great palette for beginners, it blends easily and offers a variety of colours to try and to achieve different looks. It also comes with a nifty little application brush which is perfect if you are just starting to build a brush collection.
I did experience some creasing when I first began to use the product but only after 5+ hours of wear. I was able to correct this with an eye shadow primer (Lise Watier Base for Eyes and Lips). The shades are quite neutral and I feel they would match most -if not all- skin and eye colours. The actual little pots of eyeshadow in the palette are a little small when compared to other eye shadow, if you use the product on a regular basis I feel you would run out quickly and need to re-purchase quicker than another palette so even though the product itself is cheap, it could add in the long run if you needed to buy it over and over.
