I picked up this toothbrush because it was the cheapest on the shelf at the time so I thought, why not? I ended up absolutely hating it and stopped using it after just one day.
This toothpaste doesn't "lather" or "bubble" in my mouth .. I am not exactly sure how to explain it. Other toothpaste seem to turn into a foam or something and this toothpaste seemed to just stay a chunk of toothpaste, it actually made me feel nausea. The taste of the toothpaste wasn't very good either, and my mouth just didn't feel clean at all and my breath wasn't freshened. It was an incredibly cheap and affordable toothpaste though.

I believe this is a product that everybody should carry in their purse or diaper bag at all times!
It is safe to use on babies, toddlers, adults and the elderly for literally any skin discomfort or condition. You can apply it to burns, you can apply it on any skin damage to prevent scarring, it is also useful for diaper rashes or rough, dry skin patches. I have used it personally and I have also hear a million success stories from customers saying this helped significantly reduce scarring as well as irritation.
This product has no scent at all and it has a slightly thicker consistency but it absorbs and spreads evenly into your skin with no problem. I also felt no stinging or irritation when applying this to distressed skin - I just felt relief.

This is an amazing bath product from Calgon!
The scent is actually quite strong when you smell it out of the container but trust me, once you put a scoop into your bath the scent becomes less overpowering. It actually smells very soothing and almost like an aromatherapy oil. It really calms your senses and allows you to relax.
When you get out of the bath your skin will feel so smooth, soft and rejuvenated. The pearls actually contain Vitamin E and Collagen which are amazing ingredients to put on your skin to help with radiance. Your skin will actually look very shimmery and hydrated after bathing in this. I will note, however, I once put more than a scoop into my bath because I thought it would make my skin extra, extra soft but it actually made me (and my bath water) feel very slimy and greasy, I had to shower afterwards to get it off .. so, don't use too much - less is more with this product!

I work in Cosmetics and so I am constantly applying Hand Sanitizer - I have used so many different brands and I usually pick up the cheapest, store-brand versions just to save a few dollars because I purchase it so much .. my hands would always be dry from the constant usage but this product has saved me and my hands!
As soon as I began using this product my hands became less dry .. this hand sanitizer actually feels quite moisturizing when you first put it on your hands. It also doesn't feel sticky and it dries/absorbs into your skin within just a few seconds. The scent is also very refreshing and clean unlike other sanitizers that have a strong alcoholic scent to it.

This is a really cheap foundation and it almost always goes on sale but this is one of those products that brings truth to the saying "you get what you pay for".
Firstly, this foundation smells TERRIBLE. It has a medicinal scent that I couldn't place but I know I had smelled before.. the best way I can describe it is Noxzema, if you remember that strong menthol-like scent. The worst part is the scent lingers and you can smell it on your face long after you've applied it.
It is water-based and you can tell by the texture .. it is very lightweight and I will admit it feels very nice and moisturizing when applied. It is so light though that it offers little to no coverage, I also felt like it wasn't buildable to create coverage because after a few layers it began to look cakey (although it didn't feel heavy on my skin)
I also do not like the glass container it comes in because I do not like to "pour" out my foundation. This also causes me to accidentally pour too much or even spill some. I would prefer the product much more if it came in a pump or even a tube.

When I first sprayed this fragrance I absolutely fell it love with it - it was fruity, sweet and feminine but after a few minutes the scent began to change and I just didn't like it anymore .. Something new was coming up in the notes that was almost masculine and the sweetness was disappearing. I was left with the lingering scent of something I didn't like .. I ended up searching the fragrance up on Fragrantica to see what the notes were and the top notes included things like Tangerine, Grapefruit and Pineapple (YUM) but then the middle note had Pepper and their was a base note of Musk. I just don't think those two notes clashed well together for me.
I also want to add that a customer actually commented on the fragrance while I was wearing it and she said "do you mind to stand back a little bit, I really do not like the smell of your perfume" so, I know I am not the only person who was feeling this way.
On a positive note, if this is a fragrance that you would like - the staying power is AMAZING. It actually stayed and lingered all day (even though I really wanted it to fade away so I could stop smelling it lingering haha) The Eau Du Toilette version of this fragrance is much, much better - it seems to stay sweet the entire time it is worn.

I have been using this brow pencil in Espresso and I am obsessed with it! I was hesitant at first because I have always used Brow Powder because I have not had good experiences with other brow pencils, I felt they always looks too harsh on me but not this one! This pencil has a very small tip and so it is easy to draw your brow exactly how and where you want it without it looking overdone or too thick, especially down towards the tail of your brow where it gets thinner.
Another plus - this product lasts and stays put all day! It is also inexpensive, I think it retails for around $10 which is amazing because I feel the quality is similar to some other higher-end brow products.
I have noticed though that sometimes when I take the cap off I have to clean off the tip of the pencil .. it almost looks like the pencil is fraying, it's very weird. I just need to quickly wipe the tip before I apply it to my brows because if I don't the frayed parts come off in small chunks.. I'm not quite sure what is causing it but it doesn't really bother me or effect the quality of the product either.

I honestly have hated all cushion-type products that I have tried in the past .. I only purchased this one because it was on sale and I thought the packaging was super cute. There was just something about the blue quilted patter with the little "diamonds" that caught my eye and the outside of the compact was even soft to touch.
I was pleasantly surprised when I used this product, it was probably one of the best cushion compacts I've tried. The coverage was light but my skin looked flawless and had a dewy and smooth look to it.
I wouldn't wear this when going "out" but I would wear it when running to do errands or something .. I would prefer something with better coverage to actually wear to work or on a date etc.
The packaging also says "ABC All-in-1 Airbrush and the ABC stands for "Airbrush, Blurring, Correct" .. I feel it did give me an airbrush look but I wouldn't say it gave me any blurring or correcting effect.
I don't think I would purchase this again .. I don't think I am going to use it enough to really need to get another. Also, it is very overpriced for what it is so I won't be buying it at full-price if I ever decided to grab another one.

I heard great things about this mascara and so I decided to give it a try and I was very impressed!
After just brushing one layer onto my lashes they looked thicker, longer and more dramatic. The black shade is very rich, my eyes even looked bigger and more awake which is everything I could want in a mascara.
The brush size is a little big and I do prefer something more "medium-sized" - it makes it easier to apply to your main lashes and outer but I did have a bit of a hard time getting my inner corner lashes because the brush was so big. I was able to pull it off but if you don't have a steady hand it might be difficult to apply it to those lashes without accidentally getting some on your nose or lids just because the brush is so big and bulky.
The mascara is called "weatherproof" and so it is suppose to be waterproof, windproof etc.. pretty much anything that can ruin the look of your mascara. However, I was wearing this mascara while having a really rough day and I actually had begun to cry and this mascara DID NOT last, I had black tears going all down my cheeks. I was actually very shocked because I never had this mascara leave any residue and none ever trickled down onto my cheeks while my eyes just watered normally .. I was power crying though so perhaps it was just too much tears and water for it to hold up. It is still an amazing mascara and I still recommend it 100%.

I purchased this product in #100 and it was called "nude intensity" - the shade was a neutral pink and I absolutely loved the colour. It was a nude tone but it still had a nice amount of pigment to appear on my lips, it didn't wash me out and make me look pale like some nude shades tend to do.
The product feels very moisturizing on my lips when I first put it on but within 10-15 minutes the product begins to dry and I can longer feel anything on my lips.
I had very minimal transfer when wearing this too, I would have a tiny bit on my coffee mug in the morning but then I don't have any other transfer issues. The top glossy layer doesn't seem to last very long though, I reapply that often throughout the day but the base colour lasts me through an entire work day - it does fade a little bit after 5+ hours but you can see that the product is still there, just not as rich and pigmented as it was originally.
