Because I use waterproof mascara as a base coat on my lashes almost every single day, I need a biphase makeup remover that's really going to get in there and get the product off without damaging my lashes, and for that purpose I really like this product. I do find that I need to apply the product with cotton pads and leave them pressed over my eyes for 20-30 seconds, but once I do that I feel like it easily gets the majority of the product off without having to rub or scrub. While some eye makeup removers can leave a heavy film of oily residue on my eyes, I find that this one leaves only the slightest slip and it rinses away completely with a quick pass with some micellar water. I also don't find this irritating to my eyes at all, which can be a big problem for me. I really, really like this eye makeup remover and will continue to use it as well as recommend it.

While I would prefer this formula if it didn't have the added menthol in it, I do still quite like it. I LOVE the packaging, not only because it looks really pretty but because the lid snaps on nice and tight and I don't have to worry about tossing it in my purse for on the go. I LOVE the shea butter scent, which I was a little bit surprised by, and I could just sit around sniffing it. I prefer this formula for use during the day, because it isn't as deeply hydrating as I like for overnight and because it gives my lips a really lush, plump look. I would absolutely recommend this for a daytime, on-the-go lip balm!

Softlips® CUBE Lip Moisturizer - Fresh Mint

I really, really like this product! I'm actually not a huge fan of menthol in lip balms - unless it's a mint lip balm. I know that makes me strange, but we're all a little quirky. I love the packaging of these cubes and how firmly they snap closed, so I can just toss them in my purse for on the go. I also love the way that these make my lips look, because once I apply it my lips look plump and lush. This isn't the most hydrating lip balm I've ever used, but it does quite well for daytime use. -

I'm a huge fan of Canada Dry Ginger Ale to begin with and it's the only pop that we really ever have in the house, so I was really excited to get to try this and I'm pretty much instantly obsessed. It has that ginger ale flavor, but mixed with the berry flavor that isn't too overpowering or too sweet. I don't even know what else to say except that if you like ginger ale, you absolutely have to try it because it's amazing. I have a feeling this is going to be getting a lot of play as mix for summer adult drinks this year!

I am extremely picky about face wipes, I have to admit. Most of them, I don't even bother, so I was holding this to a pretty high standard against the one makeup wipe that I actually do continue to repurchase and I have to say that it held up incredibly well. I love the texture of the wipe itself, which is always important. It's a sort of quilted texture, which gives it a kind of plush softness that I like against my skin. As far as performance, I'm pretty impressed. I think these wipes did a really good job of removing all of my face makeup without being irritating or stripping to my skin. I will admit that these are likely going to live on my nightstand until I use them up, ready to be used when I'm just too lazy for my full nighttime skin care routine and just want to get everything off and go to sleep. I would give these my recommendation. -

Micellar water, in my experience, is strangely subjective. I've found that there tends to be pretty polarizing reactions to it depending on the person. For me, this was a really good one. I found that it was gentle but did a really good job of taking off my makeup. I tried this the way that I generally use it, which is just to remove my eye makeup, and I found that it did a good job of taking off pretty much anything but waterproof mascara. At this point, I feel like no micellar water is going to take off my waterproof mascara the way that an oil would, so I really don't have that expectation. I found that when I used this on my eyes, they didn't feel sensitive afterwards, which is a definite plus. I also tried this using cotton pads to take off my face makeup and I was pretty impressed with how well it did without much work on my part.
Overall, I think this is a really good micellar water option that performs quite well and carries an affordable price tag.

Unfortunately, this moisturizer just didn't work out for me as well as I was hoping. I think that this would be a great option for someone with oily skin, particularly teens, but for my dry skin in the early stages of maturing, I just don't think it packed enough punch. It's quite light and it soaked in quickly, which does make it a good option for wearing underneath makeup. It has a slight smell to it that I associate with drugstore skin care products - I'm pretty sure everyone knows the scent that I mean. It's light and completely non-offensive, but still not my favorite. So like I said, I think that this would be ideal for teen skin, because it's quite light and isn't going to be irritating to skin that might be breaking out, and will provide enough moisture for that skin type, but if you're drier I would probably choose something else. -

I used this dry shampoo quite some time ago after hearing a lot of amazing things about it, but I found I wasn't really the biggest fan. Recently, I got the chance to try it again and I figured something out - in order to be its best, this dry shampoo definitely needs a good shake before you use it so that you don't get a heavy whitecast from it. I think this does a good job of taking away oiliness from the roots of my hair and gives an overall freshened and slightly volumized look to my hair. I don't think I'd say it's my favorite dry shampoo that I've tried, but it's definitely a good one with a good price and is easily available, so it's definitely worth trying out.

Admittedly, I'm not much of a hairspray kind of girl, but I do like it to smooth flyaways when I pull my hair into a messy bun. I feel like this type of hairspray works really well for me because it's not going to plaster my hair to my head or make it feel sticky or crunchy. I would say that this offers good hold without being a heavy duty hairspray. I like the smell of it and I think the packaging is really nice and the nozzle gives a nice, even spray. I would recommend this to people looking for a good flexible hold hairspray.

I think that this is a pretty good hair oil and I do like what it did for my hair. I wasn't a huge fan of the feel of it on my fingers for some reason, and I do find the scent to be a little bit overwhelming, but I think it works very well and really soaked into my hair to give me some shine and a lot of softness. As affordable hair oils go, I definitely think this one is worth looking into, especially for dry, damaged hair like mine. I can't speak to coarser hair textures than my fine, straight hair, but on me this definitely did do a really good job. -
