Alright for hot teas, I am not a fan of these "berry packed extravaganzas". That being said, as long as you do not let the tea bag steep at all, this is somewhat pleasant. Keep in mind I do not add sugar or cream. I think that the hibiscus is really what saves this as a hot tea, but I have a strange love for hibiscus in my drinks. I think this is much more pleasing iced. Just too heavy hot, only way I can describe it. Boyfriend loves these fruit teas though. No matter what way they are made, but primarily hot. -

Now many of you may already be aware that ginger is really good for upset tummy's of all sorts, and as I have a lot of intestinal and stomach problems I end up trying a lot of ginger teas. I am impressed at this one for balancing the two flavours. Ginger is always quite strong so I would not recommend steeping this unless you know how much you love ginger! If not too hot, take sips while tea is in your mug to gauge how long to keep it in for, and if you are like me, save the tea bag for the second cup! I dare to try a third cup, but it may be quite light at that point. Considering trying this cold for a hot day tummy remedy. In light amounts this is a revitalizing taste, even for those who are not the biggest ginger fans. -
Lipton Peach Mango Herbal Tea
I quite enjoy peach teas but find that they end up being so light you can merely get a single sml cup out of one tea bag but this I would say your can get two full flavor cups. Truly depends on how strong you like it but I do not allow bagged teas... +
I quite enjoy peach teas but find that they end up being so light you can merely get a single sml cup out of one tea bag but this I would say your can get two full flavor cups. Truly depends on how strong you like it but I do not allow bagged teas to steep as I do not add sugar or cream to my teas. Now as a hot tea I find it reminds me of late spring and summer, a nice refreshing taste that gets you through the rest of your day. Decent cost considering some of the "specialty" brands tend to taste extremely artificial while this manages to keep things much more fresh in comparison. Receiving this for free was a super bonus because now I know what fruit tea to get next time I am running low. -

Alright so for those of you familiar with dry shampoo, this brand seems to give you a good large dose allowing you to spray in short bursts, however without fear of spraying too much, unless you do not spray in bursts.
Those of you who do not know. This product works great. Spray in short bursts at roots as directed, go around whole head then work through hair with fingers, then comb. Unlike the Cake brand it sprays out more product into your hair, which is much faster, however it does not smell like cherries that I can tell just like an exceptionally strong hairspray. Hold your breath, spray as much as possible then leave your well room, repeat.
Cake does not "fume" up my bathroom however it does not spray enough so it takes longer, either that or it is not quite effective. This works well for me as I have scent sensitivities, but for a quick on the go fixer Batiste is the better option.
Super super easy to use, and no mess, unless you goof and spray something other than your scalp.

Now unfortunately for me I have very strong allergies and scent sensitivities. This product made my hair feel very hydrated and soft, but I can not say if it does in the long term, because besides immediately noticing the potent scent of the product, after rinsing the product out and attempted to go about my day, the powerful smell had me sneezing, itchy, and puffy eyed. Had to go rewash my hair just to get the scent out.
Not for anyone with strong sensitivities or allergies to perfumes.

Now I personally have hated gels in the past, however this one is very easy to apply and wash off, feels smooth and refreshing (although could argue to others feeling more refreshing, but those ones dry my skin out really bad), and you do not need to use much of the product.
The entire routine is nice and fast, especially considering how easy this stuff washes off. I have seen great progress using all three products in this line and I don't plan on switching as even though my acne comes from food allergies, I have seen a great reduction in the severity and frequency of my breakouts!
Worth the buy!

First thing to mention is that this product does not dry your face out like a desert. Big thing in my books as many have done such, and not to mention most products in this price range do not do much anyways.
The product is super easy to apply and very effective at closing up pores. Although do not be unrealistic if you have some larger pores on your face and expect them to just instantly disappear. It is slow progress, however it is progress!
Try not to get it on any cuts or such, stings a bit.
Definitely recommend the entire 3 piece kit, works great together.

As a person who suffers from food mild food allergies that cause acne (Honestly the worst discovery when you think you will just grow out of the acne stage) I found this product to be a dream come true!
This product moisturizes more effectively than other lotions in this price range, as well it helps reduce and or correct redness from acne.
With the gluten allergy I find it hard to remove from my diet completely, and this caused constant breakouts. I had lingering spots from breakout to breakout, making me feel like never leaving the house without a pound of concealer on. I no longer have to worry, as all those long term spots have disappeared and new ones leave as soon as they show up!
Best product I have ever used for acne, and big bonus, it is a great moisturizer that does not feel heavy or gross!

Now this is one of those products that you do not really go for when thinking mascara. I will tell you why.
This will not give you full lashes, it does not really lengthen (I have long lashes so I do not care about that part), and it will not shape.
Now the good side of it is that it is super super easy on your eyelashes. I was experiencing problems with those mascaras that give you the thick full lashes, the ones you can layer (can not layer this). The problem I had was that no matter how careful I was removing the mascara, it still hurt and pulled out lashes because they adhered a little too well. I got this because it had argan oil in it, thinking that it would help prevent this, and I was correct!
This product is gentle on the eyelashes, not giving big results but accenting what you have and giving your eyes some much needed care. I no longer have problems losing lashes!

Now I am not personally using this product, however my boyfriend is. He has interestingly enough been using garnier products for years as he likes the yummy scents, and hates the men scents out there. I have a bit of some bad experiences with regular garnier products but when this stuff came out I decided it had to be better for his hair than the other stuff. So far he absolutely loves the smell, and says that it works better.
I noticed that it lathers pretty well, yet he still uses too much. His hair seems to be holding more moisture now than it was before, and I noticed he uses less products to hold everything in place (not the dry silky, never listen kind of hair).
He is 100% happy with the switch, and says this is a great improvement over the regular stuff.
