I bought the apricot kiss face and body lotion by the Honest Company because it's supposed to be all natural and to be honest, I'm a fan of Jessica Alba and what she says about all the crap in most baby products. I was so excited to use this but I found the fragrance was terrible! Even my husband thought it smelt like food that had gone bad. This is average lotion in my opinion and for the extra price I don't think it's worth it. -

The packaging was bizarre to me, I usually just discretely wrap anything up in toilet paper and that's fine with me. Seems like having to put it back in the pocket is a bit messy and too much for something like this. I also feel like the colour of the applicator was a bit odd - white and light colours go better with feminine products.
The actual effectiveness of this product is average. It didn't fan out like other brands, which I prefer as I lead an active life and I felt like I was worried about leaking. I often purchase a super absorbancy due to this fear. There's nothing worse than worrying about an embarrasssing leak situation.
Overall, I would say this product had way too much thought put into the packaging and not enough thought put into the effectiveness of the product. A plain package with a really solid product that protects from leaks would sell me more than all of these bells and whistles.

I don't usually use pads, my preference is tampons but these worked well.
The scent is amazing - it's also really great how they have arrows that show the way the pad is supposed to lie. I felt like they were pretty comfortable considering how big they are, but they provide appropriate protection against leakage. The wings are great, they stick well and prevent the pad from bunching too much.
I would recommend these to people who prefer pads.

Always Radiant Incredibly Thin Liners

I found these liners to be really comfortable. Usually with liners I always feel them in place and they often bunch up or shift and I would rather not wear them at all. These liners don't shift at all, they don't bunch, they do their job and I found I forgot I was wearing a liner at all. I could even wear them running & to the gym. They were thin enough that they didn't extend past the panty line so they didn't rub or shift or anything. I would definitely buy these again and suggest them to friends.
There was some odd bedazzle a t-shirt note on the box and it was really unneccesary. When I'm looking for a product to use I want to see things noted like 'doesn't bunch or shift' or it feels like you're wearing nothing at all. Especially since my last purchase I was disappointed in. It also wasn't totally clear that there was a specific way to open the package (along the dotted line on the side of it) and my girlfriend ended up just opening it up at the end of the package instead of the specific lengthwise opening.

Febreze Car Vent Clips Freshener in Linen & Sky

I have two labs and a husband who fishes for a living so my truck ends up being pretty smelly - I've always stuck with the tree air fresheners but really, those are so potent and then you can't smell them at all after a while, I've tried other clip air fresheners that look like the febreze clip but they dried up really fast. I thought this febreze car freshener would be similar but although it was pretty potent the first day or so it ended up lasting - I put the setting on low and it still is pumping out the yummy laundry style scent. When I find that I can't really smell it - whether that's because my senses have just adjusted or otherwise - I set the air on a higher level through the vents and automatically it blasts the fragrance through the entire vehicle, especially good when my husband's fishing gear is in the back. It clips onto the air vent really well - I've had other ones that fell off but this one is pretty sturdy. One friend actually said my truck smelt good (in disbelief since I have my dogs hanging in the back cage everywhere I go). It still has about 3/4 of the juice still in the clip so that's great, it really lasts which is better than anything I've tried before. I will definitely continue to buy the febreze car air fresheners since it's lasted longer than other varieties I've tried and smelt pretty like fresh laundry.

I really appreciate a top coat that doesn't streak and that dries fast. This top coat was ideal. Not only did the brush apply the top coat well without any streaking or stickiness, it sealed in the colour very well with a high quality shine. So far, it's been 4 days and my nails have not chipped - within 5 minutes I was able to do up my jeans without destroying my nail polish paint job. I think Essie has amazing products and I highly recommend this rapid dry top coat. -

This nail polish is a great purple /gray shade and each coat goes on very smooth. The brush is great and applies the laquer very well. After 2 applications the colour is fantastic. You definitely need to let each coat dry very well before you apply a top coat or the the colour will slide from parts of the nail. Essie on the whole has a great selection of colours and this one I definitely recommend! -

I asked the sales girl at Sephora if there was a non- waterproof mascara available that had serious lasting power. She showed me this mascara and really, I was sold on the packaging before she even told me what it was supposed to do. a PANTHER HEAD?! amazing. Not to mention that there is an eyelash comb on the brush end so you get the volume and definition as you can comb out any clumps. It's fantastic, a really quality mascara. There's no clumps, it feels really great on (feels super lightweight despite coating every lash properly) apparently it promotes healthy growth of your lashes which is a bonus. However, this mascara doesn't create any curl for my lashes, I would recommend curling your lashes if this is something that you look for. The company also boasts a fairly big list of what this mascara was made without... a list that makes me very wary of what other mascaras may have in their ingredients. On the whole I am very happy with this mascara and will most likely not stray to another brand going forward. -
Benefit Cosmetics Confessions of a Concealaholic

When I was at sephora looking for concealer I was so confused as there was so many different kinds. My friend's recommended Benefit and when I saw how much you get in one kit for only $50 and how much each individual item was by itself ($20 - $40) I was sold.
I especially love that you get to blend the 2 concealer colours to make a colour unique to your face tone. I also love that I get to try the skin brightener/primer as I have been hearing that primers are the way to go for long lasting makeup. I have not been so stoked on a concealer ever. Benefit really has quality makeup and to have all these products & the brushes is a pretty amazing deal.
The only thing I would change is the product doesn't all have small packaging that you could slip into your purse... if they all came in small pop out packaging like the erase paste it would be even more mind blowing. I also think that they should have used something else for the outer case that keeps the diary closed, as I was in a rush one day and ripped it :( Overall, the product and price of this is really great, I highly recommend it.

I tried this cleanser as I have always been a fan of St.Ives creams... CAREFUL LADIES!! I used it maybe 2 days and my skin had a severe reaction to it. My normally porcelain skin became blotchy, severly dry in areas, and just ridiculous compared to my usual clean skin face. I think this is probably for oily skin types but just putting the warning out there so the same situation doesn't happen to you! -
