Dove Invisible Clear Finish Dry Spray Antiperspirant
This deodorant is more like a hairspray than a deodorant. It smells like hairspray, is sticky to the touch, and doesn't really work. I'll stick to my stick deodorant, thanks.

I was surprised as how comfortable this was on my skin! The aloe and mint make for a somewhat flexible and less crumbly clay mask with a refreshing feel. I would definitely buy this again on those grounds, alone. It also does a decent job of pulling impurities up and out of your skin, leaving your face feeling smooth and fresh, without redness.
My only complaint is the difficulty with which I opened the packaging. The cap screws off easily enough, but removing the seal was a challenge. I could not get it just by pulling. I had to puncture it and then pull with a lot of force, getting my fingers all covered in the mask. After that, it was smooth-sailing!
I also got a friend in on it and we both enjoyed :)

I have the powder foundation from that brand that I used over the primer and found that the primer is very good at helping it stick and stay in place all day. However, it doesn't really do all that much in terms of perfecting pores. The texture is so smooth and soft, and it applied nicely and felt gentle on the skin. I just don't find the value to be there for what you get. This product is good, but it is not outstanding by any means.

St. Ives® Cleanse & Refresh Cucumber Refreshing Facial Cleansing Wipes

I might like these wipes if it weren't for the fact that they advertise "Removes waterproof mascara" on the packaging. This is the type of advertising that would lead me to buy them as makeup removing wipes, come home, and then be terribly disappointed to find that it does not even begin to remove waterproof makeup.
The smell is fine but not great, and the wipes are very typical "refreshing" wipes. I wouldn't say that these stand out in any way from other brands, and I am unlikely to purchase them because of the false advertising.

Degree® Women UltraClear Black + White 72H Pure Rain Antiperspirant Deodorant Dry Spray

This antiperspirant had been disappointing on all fronts.
Application:
The nozzle on the bottle has a very large spray radius and so one has no hope to ever get it only on one's armpit. Be prepared to have it all over the place.
Effectiveness:
This prevented sweating and odor for maybe half the day for me. And considering that I am a fairly inactive person lately, it doesnt go very far.
Scent:
Oh gosh, using this drives me crazy. It smells so strongly like hairspray that even through my clothing it is all I can smell all day. Hairspray. Yuck.
All in all, it was all I could do to get myself to use this more than once for the sake of the review because it is so awful. Yikes.

Look, I understand that ultra-shine lipsticks are inevitably going to transfer onto things, but this one is uniquely horrid! One sip of a drink and the lipstick went INTO THE DRINK and FLOATED AROUND ON TOP!! What a mess. I will never buy something from this brand again. It also smells weird and the color is awkward. Nope. -

I find that this spray works very effectively and is easy to use. I have blonde hair already, and spraying this in after towel drying, brushing it through, and then taking a hair dryer to it worked like a charm! I have a nice evenly lighter hair color now. It isn't too dramatic (similar to what you'd get after a few days in the pool and in the sun) but gives a nice sun-kissed highlighted look. The smell is pleasant too! I get Tropical Breeze. -
Delectable by Cake Beauty (Coconut) Cream Body Lotion
This moisturizer doesn't moisturize, and you can smell it from a mile away! Not sure why anyone would spend money on this TBH. I don't have too much more to say... I like that that tube is slender, but that's about it.

I've been pleasantly surprised with this highlighter. It blends easily and isn't too sticky when you consider that it comes in stick form. However, I think I still prefer a powder highlighter. The color I have is Maldives luminescent and I adore it. It works great with my skin tone and isn't too shimmery. Only downside is that it still is a little too creamy for me. -

Ever since I discovered this lip stain years ago, I have been using it multiple times per week. It delivers as much color as you want (you can layer it to make it darker) and comes in a nice range of shades. It is a little bit drying, but with a quick layer of lip balm all is resolved! Super easy application as well, since it is just a marker.
I'm sad because this has become increasingly hard to find in stores ):
