Neutrogena Wave Power-Cleanser and Deep Clean Foaming Pads
Even though this was priced reasonably, I saw no benefit to using it. My skin felt no better and it didn't save any time.

I have to say, these cleansing wipes really live up to their claim for being great to sensitive skin. I like to use them on days when I've slept in or am in too much of a hurry to shower and go through my whole morning cleansing routine. I also like to use them after a work out or any time I feel like my face needs to feel refreshed. -

I'm somewhat on the fence about this scrub. I found the apricot seeds to bee a little too rough on my facial skin. After using it my skin felt more raw than refreshed. Having said that, I did find it worked pretty good on my elbows and feet, so although I won't be buying this product again I did find a practical use for the rest of the tube. -

I was deeply unimpressed with this product on multiple occasions when I've tried them. Even after following the instructions to a tee, when I pulled off the strip, literally nothing but one or two blackheads came off! I even tried the ones with different shapes for the chin and forehead but neither of those worked any better for me. I tried them on a male friend of mine once though who had severely clogged pores and he did see some decent results when he removed the strip. I think the moral of the story is if your pores are VERY clogged you may find this product useful, but if they are only mildly clogged, your better off finding a different product like a good toner to help minimize your pores. -

Clinique's 7 Day Scrub does an amazing job exfoliating skin while still being gentle to sensitive and acne prone skin like mine. It is quite powerful though so I don't use it every day, just a couple times a week to keep my skin soft and better able to absorb the rest of my skin care routine. -

To really make this mineral powder work for you and avoid the trouble blending/becoming chalky other reviewers noticed at times, you need to do some skin prep beforehand. I recommend making sure your face is clean, moisturized, and primed with a facial primer so that it blends evenly into your skin. This also isn't a product you should just apply with your fingers. A fuzzy make up pad (not a sponge) worked best for me as well as rotating in small round circles as I applied it. Overall, not a bad product at all, but definitely something you should apply in a specific way for best results. -

I think the usefulness of this product really depends on the kind of eyebrows you already have. Those with somewhat blond or red eyebrows may find it brings sufficient definition to an attribute that seems poorly defined. For those with black eyebrows, like me, it seemed to add very little in terms of definition. I think if I over-plucked my eyebrows and wanted to add volume to them to correct the deficit, this might be of some use, but since this wasn't the case for me specifically, I can't say I will be purchasing this product.
Moral of the story: Look at your specific brow needs before purchasing this product.

I was thoroughly impressed with this product. It really lives up to its "Precision" name. The lower and upper lash brush did a wonderful job coating all of my lashes without clumping. It also did a great job of separating the lashes as it thickens each one, which was a problem I had with some previous mascaras. My lashes are kind of thick on their own so it is easy for them to clump together when I put on mascara. Overall, this definitely is a product I would use and purchase again. -

I tend to like my lacquers to add subtle but luscious colour to my lips. This is where this particular GOSH product did not meet my standards. The colour was bold and bright in a Gwen Stefani sort of way which I just can't see myself wearing, even on a night out on the town. I did like shine but the boldness of colour just doesn't suit how I wear make up. If you enjoy big, bright colour that makes your lips pop, then definitely get this product, but if you're like me and prefer a more subtle touch, this product might not be for you. -
Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara
This is a great starter mascara for anyone new to make up application. The applicator is easy to use and the mascara rarely clumps. It doesn't add dramatic volume but is easy to use and almost always very reasonably priced.
