Unfortunately, I did not like this stuff. I have a lot of hair and it is very long, I usually need to use quite a bit of product in order to thoroughly condition my hair. This conditioner didn't seem to do very much. I had to use WAY more of this conditioner than any other to achieve results or to cover the same amount of hair. Although the initial cost is cheap, if I was to continue using this it would have costed me a fortune because I needed so much.
Aside from that, because I had to apply SO MUCH my hair was very weighed down and felt like I didn't rinse it enough and felt dirty/greasy. Each time I used this conditioner I rinsed longer and longer to see if my results would change and it never did. It was very strange because the Revival Shampoo actually left my hair feeling too clean..
On a positive note, the smell is AMAZING. It's pretty strong if you sniff it directly out of the bottle, and even while washing but the scent lingers in your hair and is nice and much softer. I would purchase this scent in a body lotion/cream if Dove was to release one.

Dove® Advanced Care Antiperspirant Stick Unscented

I have sensitive underarms, they get itchy, red and irritated - before I began branching out to "light" scented deodorants, I used unscented (just in case). I quickly realized that A LOT of "unscented" products actually do still have a scent.. This product actually has no scent or fragrance of any kind! It is great if you are somebody who doesn't like scents or if you are sensitive. Personally, I do like a bit of scent but I was too worried to try anything else.
Aside from the non-scent, the quality of these deodorants are fantastic. They are so soothing and leave your skin feeling so soft and dry.

This is probably my least favourite of the Dove Go Fresh Antiperspirant collection.
I do LIKE the scent, it is refreshing and "cool" because of the cucumber extracts and the green tea but it is just too much. I prefer a softer and lighter scent in my deodorants, this is too much. Everytime I lifted my arms, I would smell it and I know many people like and look for that - it just isn't for me.
My underarms do feel great though, all the Dove deodorants have added moisturizers so it's smooth and non-irritating. I get very minimal sweating and stay dry all day, and it does work. I just wouldn't purchase again because of the scent.

I have sensitive underarms, I get very itchy and red very easily. This is one deodorant that causes me no trouble and I even apply it when the irritation begins and this helps to soothe my underarms and it seems to stop/treat the itching before it even happens.
I honestly, don't pick up much of a scent from this - it's just very clean and fresh. I do feel the freshness doesn't last very long, and within just a few hours my underarms aren't as fresh (but they do not smell bad either, just neutral). I prefer the Shea Butter antiperspirant just because there is a little bit more of a scent that does last longer.
My underarms do stay dry all day though - and this is an average priced deodorant and it does go on sale which is a bonus.

This is the deodorant I usually purchase, I only ever switch to try a different scent or if another brand is on for a good sale.
The fragrance in this is very light, clean and fresh. Not overpowering or over-scented like some deodorants seem to be, and if you were to smell your underarms directly (even after a few hours) the light scent still lingers and you have no bad odor.
Luckily, I do no sweat or perspire too much .. I do sometimes go for walks and I will sweat a little, the back of my shirt will get a little wet but my underarms stay dry! I even sometimes use this deodorant on my thighs to avoid chaffing/sweating and it works!
Also, my underarms are very sensitive, itchy and irritate easily. I've been to doctors who have just told me to apply vaseline but I felt that too thick and uncomfortable.. but putting this on actually helps to soothe and soften the skin on my underarms (some of the other scents from dove to cause my to have some problems)

I was so disappointed by this product because I love Lise Watier products.
The texture feels so nice during application, it's smooth and creamy - it just glides effortlessly onto your lips. Unfortunately, the texture is almost too smooth. The product smudging and smears off your lips in no time. The liner quickly "bled" and I almost looked like a little girl who got into her mothers makeup and couldn't properly apply her product. This also did nothing to prolong the longevity of any other lip products and I think it's because this liner has a hard time staying on the lips on it's own.
I really do like the "self sharpening" feature though, there is something in the cap that shapes the led into more of a point. So, it is a bonus to not have to sharpen, I usually make a mess of the pencil shavings. The product is more on the pricier side, but Annabelle has a similar product with the same "self sharpening" feature but better colour selection and a stronger staying ability.
Also, just an FYI - I work in Cosmetics at SDM and I have had customers and return and complain about this Lise Watier liner quite frequently.

This is a pretty neat product .. it's a clear gloss that will adapt to your lips pH level to create a unique shade. I feel like anybody would get a neutral shade of pink, nothing crazy vibrant or bright which is a plus. I ended up with a light pink that isn't too far off of my natural lip colour.
It does have a bit of a scent but it isn't too bad, it is almost powdery. The gloss also has no taste, even when my lick my lips.
Unfortunately this stuff is crazy sticky, probably one of the stickiest lip products I've ever used. It's even hard to apply because it is so sticky, the brush doesn't glide smoothly on your lips and slightly gets "stuck". You also can't comfortably rub your lips together because of the stickiness.
Also, the brush frays and bristols get caught every time you put it back into the tub. It doesn't take long for the brush to become a bit of a mess.
This stuff retails for 22$ at SDM and I really don't feel its worth the price, even if it was cheaper. I do really like the idea behind the product though and Lise Watier actually has a similar product - "Magic Lip Colour Enhancer" that is less sticky and also has a plastic applicator and I'd go with that product over the Boujois.

Personally, I think this product is below average. I have used many different cleansers and this one was among one of the worst.
First, it's highly scented and it is a nice smell - just not for your face. It's suppose to smell like "lemongrass" but it ultimately just smells like you are rubbing Lemon Scented Mr Clean all over your face. It is very strong and if you are even just a little sensitive, it would be very irritating. I am not overly sensitive but I have had reactions to particular products and this was one of them.
Secondly, it does not give you a good, thorough cleanse. Skin didn't feel smooth or fresh but this could be because I was so irritated and red. If you do not have a reaction, you might have different results. But, even though this is relatively cheap I still think it would be a risk and a waste of a purchase. I think your likelihood of a reaction would be high.
And lastly, it did nothing for oiliness or shine. I have combination skin, I am only oily on my nose and chin and after using this product, I was still oily on my nose and chin but I now had some minor breakouts.
I also would just like to add in that I have used the other Morning Burst products from Clean and Clear, those cleansers worked a lot better, and even though they are also scent, I took no reaction. I think the problem with this cleanser is the alcohol-like, house cleaner scent.

Probably one of the cheapest "box dyes" you can purchase at a drug store and for good reason - the product is cheap.
Firstly, all hair colours have a stronger scent but this odor is completely overwhelming. I get an instant headache as soon as I open the tubes.
Secondly, I have long long hair so I normally need to buy two boxes. I only ultimately need one and a half, so I always have product left over. After fully covering all of my hair with even more dye than is needed, it STILL doesn't take. I have tried this dye a few times, because it is so cheap and I kept trying different colours hoping to get different results, I didn't. I have tried to even leave the product on for longer than recommend and it still didn't colour all of my hair effectively.
The parts of my hair that DO take, always look good and vibrant so I guess that is a plus. It also isn't drying and doesn't FEEL to have done any damage to my hair (but I also take really good care of my hair and other than hair colour, use high-end products). Unfortunately, the vibrancy doesn't last. It fades within just a few shampoo's and I'm quickly left with dull, washed out hair.
I recommend spending the extra amount and get a better hair colouring product or waiting for other products to go on sale.

This product is a little bit on the pricier side (about 33$ at SDM) but it is worth every penny.
I love the shorter brush because it gives precise and easy application to your lashes. It is a plastic applicator as well with lots of small "bristles" that seem to grab and pull every single lash - not a single one is missed. With having so many "bristles" my lashes get separated that makes my lashes look longer and my eyes look larger. I just love the look it gives me.
The texture is thin and creamy which can give you a natural look and is also easily buildable for a more dramatic and intense look. You can literally layer and layer and layer this stuff without getting any clumps or flakes on your lashes.
This particular mascara isn't waterproof per say, but it is incredibly long lasting and it comes off easily without irritation/rubbing with a proper eye makeup remover.
