Neutrogena Bright Boost Moisturizer SPF 30

While it smelled good and didn't leave any white residue, I'd rather have something that is an SPF first, then a moisturizer, not the other way around. I also don't want shimmer in my facial sun protection. If you're using it primarily as a moisturizer, the added benefit of SPF protection is good - but remember, you have to reapply SPF, and this bottle isn't very big. -
Neutrogena Bright Boost Gel Cream

The gel cream is light and a little goes a long way. It does contain some micro glitter, but it is so micro, that I can't see anything, even if I'm nose-to-nose with my reflection.
It does a great job at keeping my skin looking fresh and moisturized all day long, however unless I do a full wash where I'm stripping the oils from my skin, I only need to use it once a day. Any more than that, it'll pill.

Neutrogena Bright Boost Illuminating Serum

Smells nice like the everything in the bright boost line. I only need two drops of the serum to get my entire face and even part of my neck. Before applying my moisturizer, I wait a couple minutes to let it fully absorb (usually good by the time I'm done brushing my teeth). The serum itself is slightly irridescent, which is what I think gives it the immediate bright aspect. Been getting a few dark spots as I've been getting older, and so far this hasn't helped much, but I think more than 2 weeks is needed! Either way, it feels great, smells great and my wallet won't cry! -
Neutrogena Bright Boost Resurfacing Micro Polish
First thing I noticed was the smell. It's not a strong smell by any means, but it's a nice fresh smell (not floral.. I think). The miceo-beads do a good job, however I wish they were just a tad more rough, however because of how gentle it is, you... +
First thing I noticed was the smell. It's not a strong smell by any means, but it's a nice fresh smell (not floral.. I think). The miceo-beads do a good job, however I wish they were just a tad more rough, however because of how gentle it is, you can easily use it a few times per week. The website says that it is formulated with "Naturally-derived skin smoothers", so I'm hoping that the beads are safe for the environment.
My skin feels smoother after usage, but not sure about brighter.

Mott's Mr & Mrs T Mai Tai Cocktail Mix

MOTTS MR & MRS T MAI TAI COCKTAIL MIX.
Add your rum, stir and relax! Super easy, but if you're feeling for something a little more, crush up some ice in a blender, add in your mix, and you got a slushie.
It is a little on the sweet side, but if you like sweet drinks, you'll enjoy this. Even my hubby and brother-in-law enjoyed it.

Other than a slightly oily feeling in the back of my head (which I think is from the conditioner), this product leaves my hair feeling great and I can go a nice 3-4 days without washing again. Days later, my hair still smells like Argan Oil & Lavender. It's not an overpowering smell, but a nice, soothing smell. Love it!

My only gripe, is it might be a little too moisturizing. It seems like the back of my hair is a little oilier than usual, so have to be really careful how much you use and adjust.

Love Beauty & Planet Argan Oil & Lavender Relaxing Rain Body Wash
While the bottle is nothing special (and that's fine by me!), The contents are amazing. The body wash is a little more creamy than gel-like, yet it still lathers up quite nicely on my pouff. My skin feels smooth and nicely moisturized afterwards.

I don't usually care much for volumizing mascaras - they just don't tend to make my lashes look clumpy. However, Monsieur Big is a game changer. I absolutely love this mascara! It with one coat, my lashes are instantly thicker looking without being all stuck together. I wouldn't add a second coat as that's when it starts looking a little clumpy and a lash brush is needed. Monsieur Big even adds a hint of length (tiny bit). Lately all I've been wearing on my eyes is mascara. As a new mom who's not getting the full amount of sleep I used to, I've been getting so many compliments since using Monsieur Big.
Seriously love this mascara!

The Batiste Dry Shampoo PLUS Beautiful Brunette makes everyday that much easier. Wake up late and don't have time to wash your hair? Need a little more texture without using hairspray? Batiste Dry Shampoo to the rescue!
The fact that this is slightly tinted brown is even better! You don't have to worry about it leaving behind a white residue (and making your hair look ashy!). Spray, give it a quick shake, and walk away!
It has a nice fresh scent as well, but it shouldnt bother anyone except those with EXTREMELY sensitive noses.
I've already put this in my hospital bag (pregnant) since I'm not sure how long I'll be there for and want to look presentable at some point!
