This hairspray smells amazing! I love getting a little whiff during the day. It's a hint of coconut (without smelling like sunscreen) and a little bit of floral without being too sweet.
I do not use hair spray on a regular basis, so I'm not really familiar with "soft hold" sprays, but I tried using it like regular hairspray and it's a very, very soft hold (aka I couldn't even tell if it was actually working). The powered-by-air feature is weird, the product doesn't spray very forcefully - it's very misty. I think the nozzle may also be wider than usual, so it comes out as a wide cloud instead of a focused, targeted spray. Probably not an issue if you're trying to get full coverage!

This shampoo smells amazing! It's a hint of coconut (without smelling like sunscreen) and a little bit of floral without being too sweet.
It's thick, but has a nice lather. It rinses out well and doesn't leave my hair feeling like there is any residue. That being said, I haven't noticed any improved definition or anything, so I can't say I'd repurchase or pay a premium for the product over my go-to shampoo.

This tea threw me off - when brewed it has a very strong cinnamon scent. Almost overpowering, but I like cinnamon so it was okay. I was kind of hoping it'd taste like apple cider or something, but the taste was then disappointing. It tastes like chamomile tea (no cinnamon). If I focus hard, there's a slight aftertaste of lavender. I'm not a fan of chamomile tea, so the other flavours/scents aren't enough to sell me on this. -
Lipton Rejuvenate Green Tea
This tea definitely tastes like green tea, but with a distinct grapefruit flavour. I love the smell of grapefruit but find the actual fruit too sour, but it's not in this tea - I actually really like it! However, if you don't like grapefruit at all... +

However, if you don't like grapefruit at all, this tea is not for you - you'll find the grapefruit overpowering. -

Like the other products in this line, this mask smells amazing.
I found the tube/dispensing process to be a bit annoying - the tip is tiny, so you can control how much product comes out, but I found I needed to squeeze for quite a while to get enough product to come out so I could apply it to my face. However, product drips out of the tip regardless, so it just made the whole process a little messy. I wish this had a silicone applicator like the "no-mess mask"!!
Also, the instructions are weird - apply a generous amount in an even layer - I had no idea what generous meant or how much product to use, but to do my whole face I felt like I made a good dent in the tube, so this probably won't last me more than a couple uses (I feel like clay masks are a better deal). It took some trial and error, but essentially you want enough product so that it doesn't look/feel like you've almost rubbed it all in. I can't seem to get a consistent layer on my nose though, it always ends up bumpy :(
The consistency is goopy and kinda slimy (not to mention it's bright green), and I was not at all confident in its ability to turn into a mask that I could peel off. However, it dries to a smooth transparent finish that feels and looks like you've stretched plastic wrap across your face. Usually an edge will peel up, but if not, just wiggle your face around and something will come loose. For anyone that likes nose/face strips, you'll have a similar feeling as you peel this one off. I just wish it actually unclogged my pores too!
My skin definitely felt softer afterwards, although I did feel like it needed a rinse to make sure all the product was off. Removal didn't hurt, but my skin was red for a bit, so keep this for nighttime use as opposed to before you're going out!

This is the first time I've seen a nighttime mask with a "no-mess applicator" - essentially the product is dispensed in the middle of a wide silicone tip that lets you spread the product around without getting it on your hands. Normally I would say I don't mind getting it on my hands (they need moisture too), but the trick to this mask is that the product shouldn't be rubbed in - it should be applied in a thin even layer (easy to do so with the applicator) and left to absorb in. It doesn't take long at all to soak in, and my skin immediately feels soft! I can tell the next morning that it's done something, as there's a definitely film that needs to be washed off, but I've never seen any product left on my pillow so that's fantastic.
As with the other products in this line, it smells absolutely amazing - I've never seen a guy so willing to test out a beauty product, even my husband loves the smell!

This serum promises to infuse moisture into your skin, and it definitely does! I literally needed a few drops to make my skin feel soft. I was actually surprised that is suggests using this before moisturizer - I could easy use it instead of!
Also, I love the clean, fresh scent - even my husband does and he would gladly use it! I'm going to have to hide it so I don't have to share!
I can't say my skin is glowing, but since it's soft and moisturized, I'm pretty happy - I'd rather that vs. Aveeno adding sparkles or other unnecessary ingredients just to fake a glow. Since I have oily skin anyway, I'd much rather a matte finish :)

I was so surprised when I read the ingredient list for these crackers - with only 4 ingredients, you really know what you're getting! It's also impressive that these are made with corn flour, and are therefore gluten free. There is only a little bit of salt, which is great for anyone on a reduced sodium diet or just watching their salt intake. That being said, that does mean I prefer them with something, as they're a little bland on their own. I also find them quite crispy, almost to the point of being brittle, so they're better for dipping vs. being topped with stuff. They're decent but I probably wouldn't purchase. Also - my regular grocery store doesn't carry them so I did have to make a special trip elsewhere to find them. I received a sample of this product free from FamilyRated in exchange for my honest review. -

I really love the name of this product line - Cottontouch is so accurate! This lotion is gentle and silky, leaving baby's skin soft and smelling lovely! Babies already smell fantastic, but adding a faint hint of cotton (not quite clean laundry, but you know what I mean) just makes it that much better. This lotion is easily absorbed and doesn't leave a film.
