This product is extremely mediocre in quality. It does the job, but not as well as it could.
NYC is a very price-friendly brand, and they offer a very average product for your money.
This top coat does mattify, and it does protect your color coat. However, it doesn't brush on evenly, leaving some areas shinier than others. The lasting power isn't much different than other products of similar value, it typically provides three or four chip free days. Dry time is also fairly standard.

I carry these with me everywhere! They're a fantastic value, extremely effective, and they're an excellent product for touching up your appearance throughout the day.
These oil blotting sheets are for absorbing the oil from your face, minimizing your pores, and providing your skin with a natural looking texture.
For only $1 per 50 sheet package, the price can't be beat. With the added benefit of green tea extract, your skin will thank you. It leaves me looking matte and shine free for several hours after using.
My only complaint is that like most oil blotting sheets, these are quite flimsy and have a tendency to tear if your skin is particularly oily.

This is my all-time favorite conditioner.
It works well in combination with the Marc Anthony Coconut Oil and Shea Butter Shampoo, with your regular shampoo, or on its own as a deep-conditioning treatment.
The scent is excellent, it smells of natural coconut. The formula provides the best hydration of any conditioner I've ever tried, my hair is left soft, smooth, and tangle free.
My only issue with this product is that it is quite thick, which means I need to use more to saturate my hair than I would with a thinner formulation.

I love this shampoo for many reasons, despite its few, easily-overlooked flaws.
The smell is fantastic, a true coconut scent. It doesn't smell artificial or sugary, just like a freshly cracked coconut.
The formula lathers well and is extremely hydrating. It's sulfate free, which means its gentle on your hair and doesn't strip the natural moisture from your hair.
However, in being oil-based and sulfate free, it does leave a lot of oil in your hair. For me this means I need to wash it more often than I typically would because even though my hair isn't greasy, it looks oily quite soon after washing.
If you have dry or bleach treated hair this is a great shampoo for you.

Secret Clinical Strength Invisible Solid Antiperspirant in Completely Clean Scent

As a deodorant and antiperspirant, this product is fantastic. It keeps me smelling clean all day and throughout the following night.
The scent is mild, the formula is non-irritating, and it doesn't stain clothing.
However, the design of the stick itself is horrendously bad. When I go to roll up more product, the tube assembly pops apart and no product is dispensed. To remedy the issue, every time I need more product, I have to turn the wheel for more product, put the cap back on, and push the entire tube down on a hard surface to click it back together and push the product up.
That being said, the problem becomes less prevalent as time goes on and less product is left. For the price (I buy it in a two-pack at Costco) it really can't be beat for effectiveness.

As someone who constantly has colour treated hair, making my colour last is very important to me. I had hoped this product would help make my colour last as well as give my hair a healthy shine.
It should be noted that this product is not sulfate free, which means it may strip the natural oils from your hair if used daily or continuously.
Instead of making my hair nicely shiny, it made it feel waxy and unnaturally oily, much like if I had put Vaseline in my hair. I didn't notice my hair holding its colour any longer than it normally would, and I don't think this was as good as or any better than my regular heat protectant.
The smell of this product also leaves something to be desired, it is not the same as the accompanying shampoo.

Degree Fresh Energy is a fairly new product, one which I have somewhat mixed feelings for.
Although a dry spray antiperspirant is convenient, with no dry time or residue to worry about, I find it is less effective than a traditional stick or gel deodorant.
The smell is quite overwhelming, I can't spray it in the bathroom without it completely engulfing me in a sickly cloud. The initial scent fades quite quickly, but leaves a strange after-smell.
Although it does prevent sweating for a fair amount of time, it is nowhere near the 48 hours boasted on the label.
After giving it a reasonable chance, I don't think I will personally repurchase, but it may be worth a try for someone else. Deodorants and antiperspirants work differently for everyone.

Glysomed hand cream was a family favourite all through my childhood, and for good reason.
After years of searching for a hand cream that would help my dry hands, I returned to Glysomed, pleasnatly surprised that it still provided the same moisture without any irritation.
It also has a mild scent, which makes it appropriate for home or the workplace.
The biggest selling point for me is the great price, you get the results of a high end cream for a drugstore price.

Marc Anthony's Oil of Morocco is an excellent hydration product for any hair type. It's smoothing and moisturizing, it smells fantastic, and it's an excellent price.
When applied after a shower it ensures your hair will dry smooth and frizz free, as well as working as a mild heat protectant if you choose to bow-dry your hair.
The scent of the Oil of Morocco is unlike any other hair product I've used before. It smells slightly like sweet almond.
It's an excellent product to add to your routine if you have bleach treated hair, as it restores moisture to your ends without appearing oily or adding additional weight.

My significant other has sensitive skin and is also quite sensitive to fabric scents - so this product works well for us.
Tide pods are convenient and easy to use, there's no chance of spilling your detergent or adding too much or too little. They're easy to take with you if you visit a laundromat or you ever need to do laundry on vacation or while visiting family.
I find that the Free and Gentle variety of pods has a slightly weaker cleaning formulation, as it has a lot of trouble removing deodorant and antiperspirant residue.
