LOTS of variety in these glosses...I reccomend the coconut flavor. It's not the typical bubble gum pink most glosses are, but it complements every skin tone, and it also smells fantastic. These are thick and gloopy...which can mean messy if you squeeze too much out. A lot of the flavors are way too fruity or strong to me, not in a natural fruit way, but in a "Woah, this is really supposed to be cantaloupe?" way. However, it does have a nice shine to it, and it can smell nice if you find the right shade and scent. -
One-A-Day Weight Smart

I did lose weight while I used this product, but not so much that it was noticeable (5-10 pounds, give or take). The vitamins could have been a purely coincidental factor in my weight loss. For what weight I lost, I definitely do NOT think this product was worth it. If it had simply been "take the vitamin, loose a little weight along the way," then perhaps it might have been a good product to go for. However, even taken with the blandest of foods (Ritz crackers, for example), I at least got nauseous, and even threw up a few times. If bulimia was my goal, I would rather do it the old fashioned way. Worth trying, but watch out for the side effects. -

I was REALLY excited to try this product when I first bought it. There are a lot of activities (including jogging, hula hooping, yoga, and strength training exercises), plus a points system to unlock new ones. The scale gives you extra motivation, requiring you to set goals and graphing your weight over time. It even tests your balances and provides a pin system just in case you don't want EVERYONE knowing how much you weigh.
So...I shouldn't get bored, right? But I did. The "fitness instructors" are really mechanical, and even with different levels, poses and games being unlocked, I found them less and less entertaining as time went on. The weight tracking feature was nice, but I use it so little that the graphing feature doesn't show my loss/gain over time.
A fun novelty item, good as an exercise supplement, but...not a full time product unless you can force yourself to stick with boring, repetative activities.

Old Navy Flip Flops

Cheap, cheap, cheap! That's the main pull for this product. I hate dirty flip flops, and with these, I can just throw them away once they get too "icky" for me. They also come in a hugeeee range of color choices. That means that, considering the price (usually only a few dollars, even less when they're on sale) you can buy a pair to match every outfit. You get what you pay for--don't expect to be able to keep these for years--but flip flops are rarely durable anyway, right? -
The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter

A nice coconut smell...not the tanning-oil super-strong tropical beach kind you may think of when you hear "coconut." It's pretty mild, and has almost a ricey-vanilla smell to it. Most people would probably really, really like this product, but I'm a little picky when it comes to lotions. In this case, this one was too thick for me. Whenever my legs touch and stick together, I hate it. That seemed to happen a lot with this body butter, and it never really seemed to soak in. It's really thick in the container (pretty much solid...literally almost butter texture) and sticks to your fingers (and whatever else you put it on) like a five-year-old's jam covered fingers. Therefore, I found this product a little irritating. On the other hand, it did it's job. My legs WERE softer the next day, even if I had been ripping my hair out over it the night before.
A good product for most, just not for me.

All in all, an awesome product. Really -does- extend lashes, even the shortest ones. The two step process is a little bit of a pain, but my eyelashes always feel softer after using this mascara vs. others. It's easy to wash off, and when you look at the cloth/cotton pad/whatever you use to take your make-up off, you can definitely see little strings of black...indicating that there really ARE little tubes on the end of your lashes. Probably one of the best mascaras I've ever had. -

I have blue eyes, so I bought the shade that supposedly enhances them...Honestly, I don't think that much was "enhanced" color wise. My eyes looked just as blue as usual. If you look VERY closely at the brush before applying, you can see a very, very slight blue tint. However, once applied and done drying, the mascara looks black as always. BUT...this is not to say that this isn't a good product. I was very pleasantly surprised by how long it makes my lashes looked. I have been cursed with short, stubby lashes, and this mascara lengthens them significantly without clumping. One problem I've had--the waterproof kind is hard to wash off. I know, I know, that's the point. But still, my eyes shouldn't be red from trying to scrub it off, and makeup remover should quickly and easily remove all kinds of makeup--waterproof makeup included. Overall, the pros way outweigh the cons, even if the original purpose (enhancing my eye color) was way off the mark. -
