these blushes are great! a lot of the colors are great dupes for higher end products. the packaging is sharp and not cheap looking or feeling. the blush itself is phenominal -- it has a silky smooth texture that glides onto your cheeks without caking up in one spot, etc. the color payoff is great and easily blended. looove theeseeee. -

being blessed with the curly frizz-ball i call my hair, i spent loads of time and money searching in the hopes of finding the most amazing shampoo and conditioner on the planet that would work miracles for my hair. i found it, by the way, it's dove. after about a year of this, i decided to try the moroccan argan oil shampoo and conditioner. i really wanted to love it, but i hate it. it makes my hair so dry and so frizzy, just an overall tangled mess. (this goes for both the shampoo and conditioner; i didn't want to make two reviews saying the same thing). i can never comb my hair afterwards, and it just feels so dry and brittle. my curls fall limp and the frizz is unmanageable. hate. it. so. much. >.< -
Yes To Cucumbers Soothing Hypoallergenic Facial Towelettes

i hate to have to say it this way, but these things are absolute crap! i purchased these because of a rave i saw on youtube, and needless to say i'll never buy them again. the package reads "hypoallergenic facial towelettes with aloe vera to cleanse, remove makeup, and soothe skin." as "cleansing" wipes, these are great. by that i mean that if you're too lazy to wash your face in the morning, these will do the job. however baby wipes do the same thing for a fraction of the cost. these are the worst for removing makeup. at the end of the day, my makeup is so miserable that i could wipe it off with a feather if i wanted to. i had to scrub and scrub with these irritating towelettes to get my makeup off. by "makeup" i mean concealer and powder foundation. i always take extra care around my eye area, and these were way too rough. i took out about 10 eyelashes but took off about no mascara. i woke up irritated and with a patch of zits. thanks a lot! -
bareMinerals Hydrating Mineral Veil Finishing Powder

this powder isn't really all that special -- the company doesn't specify exactly what it's meant for, but i've heard of people using it as a setting powder, a touch up powder, a highlighter, or a setting powder for their concealer, etc. it gives the skin an unappealing whitecast, and doesn't do anything to eliminate shine. not a huge fan primarily because i find no purpose for it especially at $20 a pop. #disappointed. -
St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub

this is the best scrub i've ever used -- i'll never use anything else ever again. the smell is pleasant and i don't feel like i'm irritating my skin. both the tube and the tub last forever, and this stuff leaves my face smooth and fresh feeling. i really like how it comes in different formulas like fresh skin, naturally clear, etc. love it so much!! -

this is one of my favorite brushes. designed for creams, this sigmax brush in particular does a fantastic job of both buffing and blending. i do find that it can leave streaks though. i really love to use this for my powder foundation. it gives me fuller coverage and it feels like rubbing velvet over your face. i wouldn't repurchase the same brush -- i'd run over to target and pick up sonia kashuk's very equivalent dupe instead, because it's a couple dollars cheaper (especially considering shipping costs) and more convenient.

this is one of the better mineral foundations i've tried. the coverage is very buildable and the product itself is lightweight, allowing skin to breathe. my only problem with bareminerals is that it's such a hassle and so time consuming.. buff, swirl, tap, etc. ugh! i prefer my pur 4 in 1 mineral foundation to this because it's easy -- buff on to the skin all over and your good to go. bareminerals is definetely great though and more gentle -- so i'd recommend it for even the most sensitive of skin. after using this vs. my regular liquid foundation for about a week, i noticed a drastic improvement in my skin. -

this is one of the greatest soaps i've ever tried. it is all natural, enriched with pure tea tree oil. the only thing i don't like about it is that right after you rinse it off, your skin feels a little tight as if there is a film over it. that goes away though. anyway, this stuff is amazing! it is very gentle and perfect for sensitive or acne prone skin. i noticed a huge difference in the texture and tone of my face after about a week of this stuff. my acne seems to really have improved and my skin isn't drying out at all. looooove this stuff -- it's the bomb .com.
* turns out almost nobody has heard of this, so i'll link it here:

i bought mine for $6.99 at the Basin store in downtown disney, orlando, florida. cheers everyone! [;

Clean & Clear ESSENTIALS Dual Action Moisturizer
this moisturizer is very hydrating for an oil free moisturizer. i like how it does this without making my skin feel greasy. i don't really notice that it helps treat or prevent pimples though. it is a good summer moisturizer, in my book.
