Im obsessed with matte lip colors right now and have been on the hunt to find one that's not overdrying and that actually lasts. I purchased Stila stay all day in patina and fell in Love! Definitely my HG lip product right now! Pros-color (patina) is super flattering on all skin tones! - seriously lasts all day and after meals &drinks;! I went to a 6 hour gala event, ate drank and danced and my lips were still fully pigmented at 2am -no chemically smell -comes out creamy and easy to blend/apply -little goes a long way -easy to remove with makeup remover -doesn't bleed Cons- the price is pretty steep but like mentioned it lasts a while so I didn't take a star off for that...I still usually wait for a sale before stocking up -wish the colors were more consistent, I find some of the lighter shades don't last as long as others. Yes I would definitely recommend this to a friend (and have who are also currently obsessed) Tip: some of the lighter colors I have like baci wash out my skin so I actually blend them with darker colors or my other lip products to make a custom shade ! These were my first Stila products and I'm obsessed now -try it u won't be disappointed. :P -

PROS: I LOVE the foam - not only do I feel a little product goes a long way, there was also no product residue leaking from the bottle after use; it lathers very well; it has a very light, fresh, grapefruit-y smell, the baking soda gently cleanses well and makes your skin smooth and clean – my skin actually felt fresh after; it REALLY zaps those blemishes! Due to the recent weather change or hormones, I found a couple zits had popped up on my usually clear skin and this totally tamed them! They were 70% minimized by the next day after using this morning and night. It worked AWESOME on my clarisonic! My skin looked and felt polished after using them together.
CONS: I found it was a bit drying on my combo skin, I thought it was maybe just the change in weather at first but I got my sister to try it and she said the same thing; I wish it cleaned off (eye) makeup better. I found the nights when I used it after wearing a day’s makeup (eyeliner and mascara) that it just left giant rings around my eyes, so I would have to use a makeup remover after cleaning my face. It would have been 5/5 if it cleaned off makeup well too especially on those late nights when I just want to jump in the bed.
VERDICT: This is a great cleanser!! I would def buy it again.

PROS: Great scent (smells like grapefruit!); nice light/ almost creamy type consistency; lathers well; gently exfoliates; didn’t find it irritating (sometimes my skin gets inflamed when I use scrubs); seemed to tame my blemishes; like that it has baking soda!
CONS: My only complaint so far is that it didn’t rinse as well as I would like.
VERDICT: This is a good scrub/exfoliate. In regards to how it’s a “acne scrub” though, I don’t think I would personally use a exfoliate/ scrub when my face is breaking, as it (my face) gets sensitive especially during that time of the month and during any acne outbreaks. I think I will stick to my biore baking soda foaming cleanser for breakouts. But as a bi-weekly scrub for general use – this is a great, gentle one!

Dawn is hands down the best dish soap i have ever used! I love the gentle formula, how it is safe on your hands yet is super tough on dishes, the light scents, its multi use benefits (check out pinterest!), how it gives back to environmental/ animal causes and most of all because it works! By mistake, I left a dirty dish with baked mac and cheese remnants out over a weekend i went away and all i had to do was let it soak in some dawn for a couple hours and all the dried crusty cheese melted right off! I am a dawn fan for life. -

I used to be a generic soap purchaser but bath and body works soaps (esp the foam ones) have changed the game! These soaps are awesome - they smell amazing, come in a range of scents and colours (change then up to match the seasons if you want!) , make your hands soft and most importantly get the main job done by giving your hands a good cleaning. It’s not a chore to make my kid wash his hands anymore because he loves the different smells. One con is they should offer some milder scents for The pickier noses, and if you are pinching pennies the $5/6 price tag can be steep compared to other brands like softsoap which go on sale for $2/3, but bath and body works has good sales often. -
