I usually use an electric toothbrush, but will bring manual toothbrushes on vacation and overnight trips. Definitely makes teeth feel cleaner than a standard manual toothbrush, especially when used with the Pro-health toothpaste and mouthwash. This is going to be my new go-to for when an electric toothbrush isn't an option.

I really liked that this mouthwash was alcohol free, as mouthwashes that have alcohol often leave my mouth dry afterwards. My breath felt really fresh for a long time afterward, without a strange aftertaste. It also removed any lingering tastes from my meals prior to using it. Would definitely purchase again!

While I do wish that this toothpaste foamed up a bit more, I thought it was very effective. My teeth felt super clean and "scrubbed" after, and this toothpaste leaves my breath fresher than other toothpastes, especially other toothpastes geared towards sensitive teeth.

Super not worth the $40, but I do like the consistency of this lip gloss. It's really hydrating and not too sticky, so I found myself pulling this tube out all the time even though honestly it didn't do ALL that much plumping. Smells sweet and minty, and leaves a gentle tingling sensation after you apply it. -

I know this is one of the most beloved primers and all, but I'm not that into it.
It has a really slick, silicone feeling to it that makes me feel like I'm wearing a really soft mask on my skin. But hey, if you have any weird, uneven texture to your skin like crevices from acne, this is fabulous for filling those in and really does make makeup last longer.

NYC Smooth Skin Loose Powder is awesome, and not just for the roughly $3 price tag. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do, which is set your foundation without leaving random extra pigment all over the place and it’s nice and light without a cakey finish.
My only quibble is the packaging; the lid does not screw on, so the powder is not travel friendly. The puff that comes with the loose powder is also not at all useful, so definitely use a brush or a powder puff purchased separately.

The Frizz-ease Daily Nourishment Leave-in Conditioning Spray is vitamin infused to detangle hair, and also contains a heat protectant to guard against those blow dryers and straightening irons. And it really works just as well, or perhaps even better than a regular in-shower conditioner.
It does the whole detangling thing and makes your hair shiny, soft and sweet smelling, etc. The added bonus that I hadn’t even considered was that your hair feels fresher a little longer than with a regular conditioner.
Would definitely recommend this!

Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick is very highly pigmented, and stays flexible for hours, and once it finally does dry, you can add lip chap or gloss on top to keep your lips from drying out, and it barely takes the colour down.
The gloss-formula goes on wet for precise application. It has a sponge applicator though, so you want to either apply with a lip brush or at least wipe the excess off on the lip of the tube, because as soon as this dries it’s very, very difficult to remove.
If you’re looking for a long lasting lipstick, this is definitely your product.

I really, really love this blush. I'm not usually a huge fan of benefit products. I find their range of colours and products a little limiting, but a sales girl coerced me into trying this one in the store, and I instantly loved it. I find myself reaching for this blush more often than any of my other blushes because the colour instantly brightens up my skin, making my skin much less sallow and much warmer and prettier.
I occasionally do wedding makeup as well, and this is one of my go-to blushes for almost everyone because the blend of colours look fantastic on almost all skin tones and it's just lightly shimmery enough to give a bit of a glow, sans the disco ball effect.

I don’t love the Dream Matte Mousse Foundation because it’s not extremely long wearing; it’s probably got 3-4 really perfect hours in it before it starts to fade. But the coverage is relatively good, and the colour match is so good that it makes my skin look flawless when I first put it on.
It’s not really mattifying, and I have pretty dry skin, so I probably wouldn’t recommend this to anyone with oily skin looking for an oil-controlling foundation because this is definitely not going to do that for you.
Another issue I’ve read about in the past is that the foundation settles into fine lines and pores. I usually use a pore minimizing serum in the morning, followed by a foundation primer, so this was never an issue for me. I’ve always found that putting foundation straight onto bare skin accentuates every gross bump I have on my skin, so I tend not to do that, no matter how time saving it is.
The pot version of the foundation is also probably not super sanitary so I try not to apply it with my fingers, which also kind of makes the foundation roll up on itself. Instead what I do is apply with a foundation brush, and pat out any streaks with my fingers or a sponge.
