I love this super concentrated cleanser! Just a little goes a long way- It truly feels like it's removing all impurities after a long day and it foams just the right amount to make it pleasant to wash your face.
The pump dispenser is also quick and easy to access rather than flipping open or untwisting lids.
Love the packaging and product, strongly recommend.

This is an effective acne fighting solution that is mild enough to use everyday. I love the consistency and pump application. The formula is light and doesn't feel sticky or smell medicated.
I had a few blemishes and within just a week of usage, applying once a day in the morning, the redness and inflammation was reduced.
I'm not sure how it compares to other acne treatments since I haven't tried many, but I think you can probably find something similar at a lower price point- The active ingredient is what's most important.

Out of all the products I received from SoftLips, this is is the one with the most subtle fragrance and flavor. If you're sensitive to scents and just want a simple balm, this is the best bet. I would even recommend it to men, since they won't be put off by the scent or the color of the packaging, it's just a blue tube.
It glides on at an angle just like a lipstick and comes in the classic lipstick type tube, you can twist the product all the way up if needed.
The only drawback is that the formula can make your lips white if you apply too much.

This lip balm smells and feels great, it's smooth and tropical- It glides on very easily and has a shiny look, kind of like lip gloss instead of being waxy and thick.
The packaging is that of a lip stick tube, the product can be twisted all the way up just like a lip stick would, which can be annoying if you're trying to get just to right amount, twist too much and I'm afraid the balm will break off. The lip balm is also cut in an angle for easier application.
Because the tube is made of thick plastic, I find it a bit more clunky and heavier than a regular lip balm stick.
The formula is great, but I would prefer a lighter packaging.

This lip balm smells ans tastes great, it has some added sweetness because saccharin is one of the ingredients. This can lead to you licking your lips more often and having to reapply. Unlike other formulas such as Chapstick or Eos, the Softlips is not waxy and thus has less staying power. This is more of a summer product and not to be used if your lips are in need of extreme therapy.
The biggest problem for me is the packaging. As many others have mentioned, the lip balm doesn't feel solid and kind of rattles around, you can shake it and feel it come loose. The opening for the lid also seems so narrow, you really have to pay attention to how you're twisting it closed otherwise it smears all over and you end up wasting it. If you're using to just popping a lip open with one hand and quickly smearing it on your lips, you'll find that twisting and closing this cube is a bit more of a hassle.

This is a thin lip balm that glides on super well and it's best to be used when your lips are not too chapped. It's not the most moisturizing lip balm and it tends to absorb and disappear quickly.
The mint is sweet tasting and tingly, as with other lip balms from this line I noticed they used saccharin a sweetener so there actually a sweet flavor when you lick your lips. Although this is pleasant, it's probably just a trick to get you to use more of their balm.
One downside to the cube container shape is that it takes a bit more time to open up and apply to your lips, also you have to look at how you're closing it otherwise the product smudges into the lid. You end up with wasted lip balm.
If I were to compare this to EOS, it's definitely not as well designed and doesn't feel as nice in your hand.

I received this product free of charge as part of the review campaign. This dry oil really did nourish my hair, especially to help tame the flyaways, dryness and static charge occurring during winter. I use it after I shower, just rub some in my palms and onto the tips of my hair. Be careful not to use too much product and not close to your scalp, it can really weigh your hair down. -

I got this product for free as part of the review club. Dry shampoo has never been ideal for me, I always found that it left too much a powdery mess without actually refreshing my hair. Dove has showed me otherwise. I love the fresh clean scent of this product, it mattifies excess grease and it's perfect for in between shampoo days when you're just too lazy or busy to properly shampoo. I just wish this product came in a darker color for brunettes, I know some other brands offer a deeper shade so that it blends in better. -

I received this product as part of a free review campaign. This hairspray does the job well in terms of providing supple yet strong hold while having a pleasant scent. Many sprays smell too heavily of alcohol but this wasn't the case with Dove. The aerosol spray makes a fine mist so that you can evenly coat your hair without too much product in one area.
There's nothing that wowed be about it, it's just a hairspray, so I may or may not purchase it depending on the price since it does compare well to others I've tried.

Great product that goes on smooth with a nice fresh scent. I love that I can use this as a daily moisturizer and it helps give me a glow. I think the frightening effect is only when you use the product though, it doesn't actually change the appearance of your skin long term. -
