I got the entire Ultimate 10 collection as part of a sampling kit. I was quite impressed with the shampoo and conditioner for the first couple weeks I was using it. It made my frizzy, dry hair a lot more smooth and sleek. I have extremely dry ends, and the conditioner really helped soften them. Unfortunately this shampoo does nothing for color retention. Within a couple of weeks, my color was extremely patchy and fading at an alarming rate. I don't think the conditioner had anything to do with that, so I'll continue to use that.
The BB creme is awesome! It says to use between 1 and 2 pumps of product depending on your hairs length. I have very thick hair down to my lower back, and 2 pumps is definitely way too much. I followed the instructions to a tee the first few times, and it really weighed my hair down and made it kind of greasy. From then on, I used half a pump on my damp, combed out hair, then half a pump after I blow dryed and flat ironed it. It smells gorgeous and is really the perfect finishing touch. It smooths and flattens all of the fly aways, my hair and ends look and feel very sleek and soft. This product is definitely a winner!

This shampoo and conditioner is a bit pricier at around $10 a bottle. I was lucky enough to get a bunch of it on sale though. It smells great, almost like coffee and cocoa butter. I have very dark hair, and I dye it a darker shade of brown than it already is. It definitely keeps my color bright and fresh a lot longer than your average shampoo and conditioner would. It really increases the shine and smoothness. -

I'm very torn with this shampoo. For the first week I was using it, I was staying somewhere other than my home, in a place with really hard water. My hair was SO dried out and just felt awful. When I went back home, where the water is normal, I quite liked this shampoo. So I would definitely not suggest using this shampoo if you've got hard water, as it's no where close to being moisturizing enough to counteract that. On a higher note, I do love how this shampoo is sulfate free. It's also got a very light and clean scent. -

My favorite dry shampoo of all time! I've never found one that comes even close to Batiste, not even the expensive salon brands! I can get pretty oily hair at times, because of my oily skin, so dry shampoo is a must for me on those days between washing. The Batiste brand comes in a huuuge variety of scents, and even colors for dark and light hair! I have black hair, and have used the original scent on my hair and have never had an issue with powdery whiteness, but I usually get the one for dark hair just to be safe. If there is any sort of greasiness in your hair, this shampoo soaks it all up instantly! And as a bonus, it's very volumizing as well! This is also great if you just want to refresh your hair and give it a pretty scent -

This is a very moisturizing lotion. I recently moved up to a much colder climate than I'm used to, and this lotion has done a great job of keeping the flakies away. If you have very dry skin, this lotion would be absolutely perfect for you. I haven't found that it breaks me out at all, which is great. I have extremely oily skin, so I feel this lotion might be a tad heavy for me. I would like to eventually try the gel version of this product, as it's a lot lighter and probably more suitable for oily skin. I still enjoy the lotion though! -

I really liked this mascara. I was extremely impressed for a drugstore mascara. It was fairly cheap, under $10. The brush is very good at separating every last lash, hence the million lashes, haha. What I loved is that it is very lengthening, without making your lashes look spidery. It wasn't the most voluminous unfortunately, but it did a decent job. My one qualm is with the quality of the packaging. After maybe 1-2 weeks of use, the plastic piece that the brush comes through to wipe off extra mascara dropped right into the bottle itself! I felt bad for wasting so much mascara, but I had to throw it away. Can't use a mascara want just covered in globs of mascara. -
Benefit Cosmetics BADgal Lash Mascara
I prefer this mascara SO much more than the Benefit They're real mascara. So much more length and volume, and it's very long lasting too! I love the brush, it really gets the product on their evenly without being clumpy. I'd probably buy this again.

After hearing SO much about this mascara, I was excited to try it. People were constantly recommending it all the reviews were pretty good. I got a few samples of this in various beauty boxes and I honestly wasn't overly impressed. It's a DECENT mascara, I don't dislike it or anything, but the claims that say this mascara makes your lashes look like they are falsies is a bit over the top. I like the brush, and it seems like it lengthens nicely, but I find it does absolutely nothing for volume, which is an important thing for me. I'll definitely use what I've got left, but I would never pay $20 for this stuff. -
