I make my own clay mask probably once a week and absolutely love them. So when ChickAdvisor sent this to me to try in exchange for a review, I was intrigued and excited because I love Neutrogena, Grapefruit AND clay masks!
The smell is amazing - so fresh and fruity.
The packaging - wasteful and inconvenient to use. The amount they give you is more than single use, so depending on the person, it's either going to be way too much - and left with the horrible packaging to hold on to in order to use the rest, or it will be the right amount. I would be more inclined to buy it if it came in a tube like the cleanser, and could use it a few times.
Effectiveness - it's a fairly decent clay mask, dried quickly, nice colour & smell, but the results were just 'ok' - I didn't notice any remarkable difference in skin.

I am not a stranger to peel off masks, but this... this was awful. This ended up feeling like a layer of stiff superglue all over my face that caused nothing but pain when trying to peel off. The smell is amazing, but the mask itself is not something I would give another go.

I've been using this for about a week now, since receiving in the review box to try, and conveniently had a bit of a breakout when I started using! Using this wash twice a day not only did a great job as a cleanser - non drying, but also significantly helped in clearing up the breakout!
The smell is amazing (I love grapefruit anything!) and you have noticeably clean, refreshed skin.
10/10 would buy again!

I received this product as part of the review club, to try in exchange for my honest review.
Because I have naturally curly hair, I was excited to try this line from Love Beauty & Planet!
Although the conditioner smells like the shampoo - I prefer the conditioner scent over the shampoo - it is a very refreshing/light jasmine scent (sorry but I don't get any coconut notes).
My hair was left feeling very soft, smelled great, and although it did feel a bit heavier than my normal paraben/sulfate/silicone free shampoo/conditioner, it still wasn't a complete fail!
I will definitely keep on hand to use in between my normal washes! :)

I was very excited to be selected to try this product line in exchange for a review!
The hairspray I was particularly excited about and couldn't wait to try to lock in my natural curls.... womp womp.
Smell - amazing, nice and light Jasmine scent!
Bottle/Dispenser - nice new take on the aerosol spray. super fine mist - which allows you to perfectly distribute product.
The product - Here's where it went wrong. I wanted to love this product so much, but for me, it just didn't work the way I needed it to. I think this would be better to apply a fine mist over straightened hair to keep the fly-aways down. I was using it to help lock in and set my curls, and all it did was create one giant birds nest. Even applying a small amount, my hair turned to an ever growing knot, no definition, sticky and heavy residue, and unpleasant.
I think this would work for a lot of people, but perhaps not natural curls when you want the bounce and definition of the curl to remain.

I received this as part of the review program, in exchange for an honest review.
First - the smell. Light and floral. I personally don't notice a coconut smell, it is more so Jasmine. - Not overpowering, but very pleasant!
I have naturally curly hair, so obviously was very excited to try this!
It doesn't leave the hair heavily weighed down like some shampoos can, but it would be MUCH better (in my opinion) if it didn't contain any sulfates - nice that the product line doesn't contain silicone's though! :)
Overall I'd use it again - probably not my 'every' time wash as I try to avoid Sulfate's in my shampoo - especially for the curls!

I received this as part of the ChickAdvisor review club, and can say I was quite shocked with how much I truly like it!
As soon as I saw the oil/serum combination, I was immediately skeptical as every formula I've ever used containing an oil like that, has never worked for me (just sits on my face, doesn't absorb and makes applying makeup a nightmare)
This one is different! Shake vigorously to mix the 2, and when applied, it will feel light, but also a bit slick - DONT BE ALARMED! This absorbs to provide an amazing canvas for makeup application.
I never thought in a million years I would switch back to a primer like this, but can honestly say that I've been surprised, and in the best way possible!
The scent is much lighter than the cleanser, but still very pleasant and refreshing.

I received this as part of the ChickAdvisor review program, and began using immediately.
I. Love. The. Smell!!! I can't quite put my finger on exactly what is smells like, but it's the most pleasant, clean, citrusy/floral mixture - not too overpowering, just very pleasant!
I have been using morning & night, and can honestly say I'm loving it. The texture is smooth and works into a nice lather. After rinsing, you don't have the harsh 'squeak' to your face (some people like) but it doesn't leave your skin dry, but nicely moisturized. Perfect prep for the serum!

I usually am a die-hard Batiste dry shampoo user until I tried this!
Don't get me wrong - I still keep Batiste on hand for the majority of use as this one is much more expensive, but a smaller amount goes further!
The smell is quite strong - but very pleasant, to the point you almost want to spray your hair even if it's not needed - just for the scent!
This is also extremely effective. A small amount will rid your hair of the greasy 'in between wash' grime, and give you a fresh bounce!

I absolutely love this makeup remover for those times when you need a little extra help getting it all off! Yes, it is 'oily' but it truly works.
I find splashing my face with warm water first to help loosen the mascara & everything, really helps, and keeps me from having to scrub my lashes off. Lather this on a face cloth & watch everything melt away!
