Joico Defy Damage Protective Shampoo
Likely personal preference but the smell was far too floral for me and overpowering so I won’t be repurchasing. Overall it was decently effective and I do love Joico products but because of the scent it’s a pass for me.

Joico Defy Damage Protective Conditioner
This conditioner is pretty good, and does an effective job but I just can’t get past the smell unfortunately. Love Joico products but it’s far too floral for me so I won’t be purchasing it again.

The wipes themselves are pretty effective, although I personally find one isn’t enough to remove my makeup. They also tend to make my (dry) skin feel tight and a little sensitive after so I more so use these for eye makeup only rather than my full face. I honestly am still on the search for a hydrating wipe that actually leaves my skin feeling clean AND soothed after use - and sadly these aren’t it. I also can’t personally justify the price of wipes like these and can imagine buying them individually like this ends up being more expensive. I like the idea and see where they were going with this, but I personally would just buy a 6-12 mini pack and throw them in my gym bag or purse. I feel like the extra packaging is unnecessarily wasteful and I’d need to throw a few in my bag anyway. This one is a pass for me! -

I usually go for creamier hand creams from The Body Shop or Aveeno, but I was surprised by how much I liked this hand cream when it’s quite different from my usual! I definitely felt like my hands were thoroughly hydrated and over a few uses this hydration stayed consistently. My only complaint is that I felt there was a bit of a weird, slippery residue left on my hands which I wasn’t a huge fan of. Overall I would try this again but it doesn’t come close to comparing to my Nivea Q10 Hand cream which also reduces the look of the lines of my hands, and for that reason is a hard winner for me. -
Vaseline Clinical Care™ Extremely Dry Skin Rescue Overnight Cream

I really appreciate a good, thick cream for my incredibly dry skin, and this one did not disappoint! It wasn’t greasy on application (nor too watery feeling/slimy like some can be in an attempt to not be greasy), and was quick absorbing. I’ve been coupling it with the lotion during the day and have been seeing great results. Most likely will try this again! (Depending on the price) -

St. Ives® Shower Foam Oatmeal & Shea Butter
Definitely one of the best shower foams I’ve tried! There’s not as much foam dispensed from the pump, and it’s not as bubbly (if that makes sense?) so there’s more product and less air. The result is more soap to lather on your body and less... +
Definitely one of the best shower foams I’ve tried! There’s not as much foam dispensed from the pump, and it’s not as bubbly (if that makes sense?) so there’s more product and less air. The result is more soap to lather on your body and less product needed! Which made me feel like it was more effective than most. It also wasn’t drying like I’ve come to expect from shower foams. Overall, my only dislike so far is the scent... it’s too bad because I love oatmeal and shea butter (and the like), and it’s not a hard scent to get right — but this one was too phoney and sugary smelling for my taste. Would definitely love to try the other scents though! Overall, can see myself probably buying this one again. -
John Frieda Go Blonder Lemon Miracle Masque

I’m not sure how I feel about this product and will need to give it a longer period to really make a judgement call on whether I like it. After one use I can’t say it made my hair feel stronger but I believe this may be something that is seen overtime. Since it’s to be used once a week this may take several weeks to really know. Despite claiming that it requires the matching Go Blonder shampoo and conditioner to lighten your hair, it appears to have actually lightened my salon-colour which I really despise (likely because of the lemon oil?). It should really say for natural blondes or non-professional colour.
If you’re looking to lighten your hair and haven’t damaged it too much with colour, this could be a great go-to! Unfortunately for me I think it will be a pass (which is disappointing) but I’ll give it another go before totally writing it off.

So I’m really torn on the Fresh Soy Cleanser. I’ve been on the lookout for something gentle that will really work to remove all of my makeup (after a precleanse with an oil cleanser) and I’ve been using this one for about 6 weeks now. As someone who has really dry skin, I love that it leaves almost a film on my skin (in a good way), and makes my skin feel super hydrated after using it. But am I wowed by it? Not really. I feel my skin is clean but am pretty sure that’s owed mostly to the pre-cleanse since I’ve used the Soy Cleanser solo before and have noticed makeup left behind when using my micellar water. And at $50 a (small-ish) bottle, I can’t help but feel like there must be something better out there. I’m still on the fence, so if you’re thinking about trying it maybe go for the mini first before committing to the full-size. I have noticed there’s also a Soy Cleansing Milk so maybe I’ll give that one a try next time instead (since hydration is my main concern). -
