Compared to other protein powders I've tried, I liked this pre-made formula. The taste was better than I expected it to be. I am not a huge fan of Caramel flavour, but since I was given a free product in this flavour I gave it a chance. It tastes like a watered down butterscotch pudding, which is tasty enough that you don't feel like you are forcing it down just to get the protein/benefits. Also like the additional benefits of vitamins and minerals it included. The only negative thing I would note is the artificial sweetener, which I don't love and leaves a bit of an aftertaste. -

Like many of the reviewers, I remember having these (many many of these!) as a young girl. And really they are perfect for girls. Fun colors, fun scents, with a sheer glossy feel. I still buy one every now and then, though nowadays it is mostly for the memories that I have associated with the original collection of scents, more than any benefits they provide. But still every now and then it is fun to wear these. -

Over the years this has slowly become a must have lip balm both at home and in my purse when Im out. Unlike a lot of balms it hits that perfect balance of being thick enough to coat your lips without being waxy, while thin enough to still soak in, but without being oily and wearing off within minutes. I will note that I have found that some of the flavored/scented ones are a lot thinner in consistency than the original beeswax formula however. I much prefer the original consistency, though some of the scents are nice too so it really is a trade off. -

I have tried many brands of lipstick and always end up returning to MAC and buy more of these than any other. For starters, you really cannot beat the color variety. You'll always find a color that suits you, and there are enough new releases frequently enough for even more. The texture options also vary enough to meet any of your needs, though across the board I find MAC does a great job of being long lasting and opaque colors, without being either too dry or too thin/creamy - both which are problems I encounter with other brands. -

I got a free set of these, otherwise quite honestly I probably never would have tried them. My last experience with fake nails was probably in the late 90's, and I remembered them being awful - weak glue and always in danger of falling off. So I didnt have high hopes for these and tried them out just for fun. I was incredibly impressed how long they lasted - over a week and I removed them only because my nails started to grow out. They held up with normal use and activity, hand washing etc, and I was surprised how well they were able to be filed down to fit my desired nail shape after being applied. As a perk, when I took them off (which was fairly easy and it didnt seem to hurt the nail underneath) my own nails had grown longer and stronger and look nice and uniform for once. I wouldn't buy these all the time (it would get expensive), but every once in a while for a fun design and to have the feel of gel nails without the commitment, I will buy them again. -

I had a bottle of this sitting around for years that I believe I got for free at some point. I never reached for it because I have straight hair and no real curls or frizzy spots. But eventually when it struck me to try it for flyaway pieces of breakage, I was surprised how well it worked. Now instead of reaching for any oils or sprays, I always reach for this because it works quickly everytime I need to tame a few pieces of hair at my parting as Im running out the door. Just a dab rubbed between my fingers and I dont have to worry about seeing those little pieces the rest of the day, and no greasiness or heaviness added. -

This beach spray is a good price, but thats about where the benefits stop. The spray nozzle doesn't allow for a nice mist, so you get squirts of product rather than an even coating. Either due to this or because of the constitution of the product itself, the result is very dry and crunchy hair and not a lot of volume. I'd rather invest in a salt beach spray of a little higher quality in future. -
