I have a love and hate relationship with this product. I tested these makeup remover wipes on a day where I had applied a lot of eye makeup. I would rate their effectiveness very high, all the makeup care off and I didn't have to sit there and keep wiping over and over again. The mascara needed a bit more work to get off, but that is to be expected.
What I was NOT expecting was how much this product burns if you accidentally get it in your eye. Considering it is a makeup remover wipe, I figured it would be okay in contact with my eyes, but my eye had a stringing sensation that entire morning until I was able to access artificial tears to sooth the irritation. I really don't think I am allergic to the product as everywhere else on my skin it felt fine (no rash), but it was not very enjoyable to use on my eyes. I'm not saying don't use it to wash off your eye makeup, but make sure that you clean everything away with warm water and be careful that nothing get's in the eye.
I also don't think there are enough cloths in the package (only 7...)

Much like the rest of the this product line, the conditioner does not disappoint. I absolutely loved the scent, could still smell it after showering.
The packaging is absolutely beautiful, definitely catches your eye, and is sturdy.
The actual formula is nice, and instantly made my hair feel soft when applied to my hair. You don't have to use a lot, a little goes a long way!
If I had any downside to this product, it would maybe be the price (a few dollars more expensive than what I would normally pay for a department store conditioner).

St. Ives® Revitalizing Acai, Blueberry, & Chia Seed Oil Body Lotion

I am prone to dry skin and apply moisturizers daily. One thing I really appreciated about this product is that the scent and ingredients are original. I don't often see blueberry/acai scented products, as well as chia seed oil!
The actual formula is very lightweight, and blends into skin nicely. It's a little bit thinner than I would have liked, but didn't leave any greasy residue.
My skin has felt hydrated after using it, but it's maybe not the most effective lotion I have used. For this reason alone, I undecided whether I would buy it again personally, however; if your skin is not overly dry, I think you would be satisfied with this product.

I REALLY liked this deodorants scent (might be one of my favorites of all the one's I've used before). It smells so fresh, but not overpowering. The actual formula is really nice as well (regular stick formula, feels soft like butter).
It glides on very well, and doesn't leave any visible white residue like with some other's that I've used before.
This product was super effective on me, although keep in mind I am not someone who overly sweats.. especially in Winter.
Overall, really enjoyed the product and would definitely buy again!

Much like the conditioner and body wash in this product line, shea butter and sandalwood are added. I ended up loving the scent, and it wasn't too overpowering, but could still smell it in after showering which was nice! I was unsure about how shea butter would react in a shampoo product (as it's typically a skincare product, I've personally never seen it in haircare). My main concern was that it would leave my hair with an oily texture, but it really didn't! It lathered well (only had a use a small amount), and it made my hair feel soft and smooth.
I am also in love with the beautiful packaging. All of their products look so nice, and they give you a nice amount of product per bottle.

I was not familiar with this brand before, so was really unsure about what to expect. I instantly loved that there is shea butter in it as my skin is dry, but sandalwood was a scent unfamiliar to me. I ended up loving the smell actually, and it wasn't too overpowering. I also noticed a bit of a coconut scent (which I typically don't go for), but it's a light scent from the coconut oil they added.
The actual formula felt like a lotion, and left my skin smooth and soft after shaving.
Also, the packaging is beautiful, looks high end, and I loved the convenient pump style bottle so I could use it easily in the shower!

I am in love with this brush, feels so soft on the face, but is sturdy enough to distribute product evenly. I also loved the size of the brush, it's not too long for no reason, and is a little short which I liked (easier to travel with). Brush is very good quality as there is no fall out with the bristle hairs like with some other brushes I own.

I have dry skin and am ofter worried that powders will look flakey on me, but this powder paired with the primer worked extremely well. The powder is very light, and did not look 'cakey' what so ever. It's extremely natural looking makeup which is what I love so much about the forumla. The colour I tried was "N2 Classic Beige", and was a perfect match for my skin!
The actual container is super convenient, and they give you such an amazing amount of product!

I haven't tried a lot of primers, but I felt like it actually did make a great difference in how my makeup applied/stayed on through out the day. I have naturally dry skin, and this primer really moisturized well, and left my skin feeling nice and hydrated.
For those of you who don't like putting scented products on your face, you might not appreciate the scent (kind of smells like citrus), but for me I didn't mind at all, and thought the smell was quite nice.
Would definitely use this product again, and would purchase.
