As with the Aqua Light shampoo, I like this product but am not sure it's the right system for me to use everyday. This conditioner does a good job at making my hair feel soft and smooth, and rinses away well. I just think I need something more deep conditioning - I don't necessarily need a hair product to be so lightweight because my hair isn't that fine.
All in all I definitely like this conditioner and the shampoo as well because it just cleanses really well. But if you need something really moisturizing I would try something else.

My hair feels really clean after washing with this. It creates lots of lather and smells fresh, plus it rinses away nicely. THE only thing is that sometimes it doesn't feel like it conditions my hair well. I know that's more the conditioners job, but the shampoos I prefer always leave my hair feeling softer than this.
It's decent shampoo for a good price. When I use this with the Aqua Light conditioner and the Shake, my hair looks and feels pretty good, but not amazing. It doesn't weigh my hair down like some products so I would recommend it, especially for finer hair - I just prefer something more conditioning for every day use.

I'm usually a fan of St. Ives, (apricot scrub!!). The products are affordable and work pretty well, plus they're always available in my small town. So I was surprised to be disappointed this time.
The scent of this lotion is just not for me - it reminds me of some kind of hair product, and not a good smelling one. Plus it is very strong, I find. It actually aggravated me, making my sinuses act up, and the scent really lingers too so it was hard to get rid of.
As for it actually moisturizing my skin, the few times I could stand testing it out, it actually did a good job. The lotion is creamy but not too heavy, and my skin felt nice after using it. It was just unbearable to keep using because of how it smells to me.
Overall, some other chicks may enjoy this product but it definitely isn't for me. I still recommend St. Ives in general, just not this product!

This, along with the Intense Repair shampoo, makes my hair feel amazing. My hair is pretty long and the winter weather hasn't been doing it any favours lately, but this product makes it feel so healthy and soft.
I love the texture and scent of this (and the shampoo) - it's a light kind of fruity scent, and you only need a small amount of product to cover even really long / thick hair. For a deep conditioning product, it rinses out well and still leaves your hair with lots of volume.
My hair has felt so much better since using this product for just a few days, and I'm really glad I got to try it. It costs more than my usual hair products but the results are definitely worth it!

I noticed a HUGE difference in my hair after using this shampoo for the first time! My hair is long, and to be honest it needs a trim right now, plus the winter weather has been making it really dry. But after one wash with this (and using the masque afterwards) my hair felt 100% better!
After using this shampoo and the masque again the next day, my hair felt even healthier - silky, soft, shiny, literally no tangles. And it doesn't weigh my hair down like some moisturizing products do.
I was thinking that this may not last long, because the bottle's quite a bit smaller than my usual brands. But you don't need much - even for my super long hair it only took a small amount to lather up. It has a nice texture - creamy and rich, but it also rinses out easily too. The scent is great - it's very light, but reminds me of banana or some kind of tropical fruits maybe.
I don't buy expensive hair products for myself often but would be willing to purchase this one (although I'm going to ration it out now, instead of using it all the time)! I can't really compare it to deep conditioning products but it's definitely worth the price to me, for the results it gave my hair. Going from my usual shampoo/conditioner to this felt like night and day, and I honestly thought my old stuff was doing a pretty decent job!
Thanks so much to ChickAdvisor for another sweet product review opportunity :)

Thanks AGAIN to ChickAdvisor for sending me this as a prize for review of the week!
I got this in "Moss", a really nice green shade. It brings out the green in my eyes and I also like how it works for both day and night without being too over the top.
Liquid eyeliners have always intimidated me a little bit, especially waterproof, because my hands just aren't that steady! But I had to experiment with this, and I'm glad I did. It wasn't as difficult to apply as I always remembered liquid liners to be.
The product goes on perfectly and it's easy to control how you want it to look. The tip is soft and easy to manage and the product stays where you apply it - no smudging and flakes and it is definitely waterproof.
I really like this liner and would purchase it / recommend it to others.

This was one of my prizes for the eyeliner Review of the Week and I can't thank ChickAdvisor enoughhh! It's a great product in a cool shade, perfect for experimenting with.
The shade is (013) BURNING BLACK, a really dark, hot glittery red with black powder. (The glitter is fine textured as well, which is a plus for me.) It's perfect for lining my eyes or adding a bit of 'colour', and I'm working on trying a smokey look too but I need some better makeup tools.
The quality of this shadow is worth the price in my opinion. It goes on well for something so full of glitter, (I haven't noticed a bunch of glitter all over my nose/cheeks after putting this on my eyes which is usually the case). The powder stays put throughout the day too - it doesn't smudge or wear off like some shadows.
The other thing I really liked about this product is the little 'conserver' thing inside! It holds the powder in place when you're not using it, so it won't get knocked around inside the jar and spill everywhere (it always happens to me eventually, with powder makeup).
I would recommend this product for sure, and can't wait to check out the other shades available too.

I got a sample tube of this recently, and have also purchased it once before. To me it's been really disappointing. I honestly can't stand the taste, texture, or how my mouth feels after using it!
The smell is minty but it has a gross chemical taste, and the texture is somewhat gritty. This I could deal with, but it also makes my mouth feel ridiculously dry after I've finished brushing and rinsing, and my teeth don't feel as clean as usual. Dryness isn't the best for your mouth and I can't stand feeling like my teeth aren't clean even though I just brushed! So, I won't be using this anymore and wouldn't recommend it, personally.

This is the first Keri moisturizer I've tried. My skin gets a little more dry once the weather gets cold, so I wanted something to help with that and also something without much scent.
The bottle says "Fast Absorbing Essential Hydration" with "HydraShield"....it has aloe and emollients, and is fragrance free.
I noticed that the texture of this is kind of different. It feels a bit greasy at first and doesn't go on that smoothly, but once it soaks in it feels alot nicer!
I realized after buying that this is the formula for normal to dry skin, and it isn't really doing much for the extra dry skin on my hands. The bottle says 'just apply it once a day to keep your skin soft and smooth all day', which is true for using it on your arms, legs, etc but doesn't cut it for my hands. With washing them throughout the day and just doing general things, I find I have to reapply this often as a hand cream. I probably SHOULD just get a hand cream for this, but I'm still not totally impressed with this product. For me, I think there are better lotions out there, although I am sure this one would be great for some others, and I'll definitely finish up the bottle I have right now.
This is not really a new favourite of mine but it isn't terrible either.

For such a low price (about $3.50 at Walmart) I thought this was definitely worth a shot. I needed mascara and was drawn in by the brush shape of this - small, and kind of rounded at the base while more pointed at the tip. I love big brushes, but sometimes I usually have issues applying it in the corners of my eyes and on my bottom lashes.
After trying this a few times, I'm impressed! The brush is excellent at grabbing all of my lashes and getting as close to the root as possible, without poking myself in the eye! It's awesome. And the mascara itself gives me thick, dark lashes (I got the Blackest Black version). It can make the lashes clump together a tiny bit if you don't apply it carefully (I sometimes brush my lashes out a bit after putting on mascara anyways, so it's no biggie for me).
The watermelon pink and green is cute and a little nostalgic - I remember seeing the pink and green tubes in my mum's makeup drawer like 15 years ago!
This mascara is a bargain, and I'm actually thinking about picking some more up to use as stocking stuffers this year :)
