Here is my review on the Garnier Fructis Fruit Sensation Grapefruit Tonic Shampoo.
I tried this product of a month ago and I have good and bad things to say about this. So first of all, I absolutely love the scent but unfortunately this doesn't do a good job at lathering and giving your hair a nice clean wash. When I use this is the shower I have to use a lot of product just to try and get a good wash out of it. I find it hard to rinse out of my hair also. The scent of this shampoo lasts a day or two in my hair which is awesome and it is not overwhelming either. I would give this 5 stars for just the scent.
I really do struggle with finding shampoos that lather nicely and I was really disappointed about this. I still recommend this to someone who is looking for an affordable shampoo that smells amazing and someone who doesn't care about lather. I haven't had much success with Garnier Shampoos other than the Damage Eraser one.
This runs between 3 to 7 dollars at local drugstores, grocery stores, walmart and target.
P.S. On the other hand the conditioner that goes with this shampoo is AH-MAZING. I recommend that also.

Here is a little review on my experience with this Veet Hair Removal Cream.
I hate writing negative reviews but I just wanted to let anyone who is thinking about trying this out know about my experience and thoughts about this.
First of all, I applied this cream as directed on bottle and it had a nasty scent to it. Once I applied this I felt a tingly feeling on my legs which wasn't a very nice experience. Then when it was time to remove the cream it did not remove all the hair off my legs and the hair it did remove it did not do a good job at all. It looked like little black specks on my legs from where the hair root is. This seems like a good concept but it did not do the job good at all. I can honestly you can get better hair removal with just a razor.
I do not recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin and anyone with thicker hair because it did not do a good job. I have a mild sensitive skin and it irritated me. So I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin. I just do not like the idea of this product because it is a chemical burning/ dissolving the hair off your skin. You are better off waxing your legs or shaving it in my opinion.
Maybe it was just me with a bad experience but I do not recommend this.
This is found anywhere where hair removal products are sold and costs about 9 to 11 dollars.

I want to write this detailed review for anyone who is looking for a new face scrub.
This is the scrub I used before I started using the Biore Acne Clearing Scrub. This one is just as amazing as the Biore one because it has little scrubby beads that clean away dirt of your face and it is also has a tingly refreshing feeling during and after you use it. I use this in the shower because it is super easy to clean your face and rinse it away. I love the smell of this and how smooth it makes my skin feel. This really helps with acne and blackheads because whenever I use this I notice less acne breakouts and blackheads. The apricot beads in the scrub are not harsh at all but I would recommend only using a little bit of the product to get results. I would also recommend not scrubbing your face so hard when using this too. I find the apricot beads bigger than Biore Acne Scrub and that is why I am telling you , you should use this lightly.
I do find this very similar to Biore and if you are looking for something a little more affordable this is a great option. I recommend this to anyone with ance and blackhead prone skin because it really does help reduce acne break outs and make your skin super soft.
You can find this product at your local drugstore, Walmart, Target and some grocery stores. This product is usually on sale for around 3 to 5 dollars.
Once I finish my Biore Acne Scrub I will definetly be alternating back to this because they both work great.

I am super excited to be writing this review because I have been using this product for about 3 to 4 months now and I love it so much. First of all, this has improved my skin so much and it helps when new acne comes but also has reduced the amount of breakouts I get every now and then. I use this product everyday when I shower because it has little scrubbing beads and it is easier to wash your face in the shower and rinse off all the little scrubbing beads.
This product has a little tingly sensation and it makes your skin feel nice and fresh when you wash it which is nice. I also like that the beads are not harsh and have the perfect texture that scrub away dead skin. Not only does it have scrubbing beads it also lathers a little when you are washing your face which is nice because it makes it feel like its cleaning my skin very well.
Like I said I have been using this for a couple months and my skin has little to no break outs and I definitely know it is this product because it is the only product I am using to help with my acne. My skin also feels very soft all the time because the scrubbing beads scrub away dead skin making your skin feel nice and soft.
I don't know what else I could really say about this other than it is my go to acne product and I will continue to use it as long as it doesn't get discontinued. I love it and highly recommend it to anyone with acne prone skin and anyone who is looking for an awesome refreshing face scrub. If you have sensitive skin I would test it out before using it daily.
This product can be found at your local drugstore, walmart and target. I have seen this average from 6 to 8 dollars but you can often find it on sale.

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Lustrous Touch Smoothing Shampoo

I started using this shampoo and conditioner duo a while back when I dyed my hair brown. I can honestly say this is definitely not a good product for myself. I did not find it helped keep my brown hair dye last longer, it did not do anything amazing for my hair and the shampoo did not lather up nicely. This is just a pretty average shampoo and conditioner and worked no better than some other basic shampoo and conditioner. I used this for about 3 weeks and seen no results. Though this product did clean my hair but that is all it really did. I also did not appreciate how expensive it is for 1 bottle of shampoo. Oh the scent is not the greatest either.
This product is found at local drugstores for around 8 to 10 dollars.
All I can say is this product is definitely not my favourite and not the worst but it is something I would not repurchase again. I would also not recommend this to anyone unfortunately.
I may have different hair type than other people and each person may receive different results. I just wanted to let you ladies know about my experience with these two specific products.

I have used these tampons a couple months back and I am not pleased with the way they work. I had issues with them leaking and also did not find it was comfortable to wear. I used these for my whole entire period cycle and I would not recommend them to anyone. I was really hoping to like these because the packaging is super fun but unfortunately it is a no in my books. There are better tampons out there but the only way to figure out if it works for you is to try it out for yourself. The only good thing I have to say about these is that they are affordable.
I hate writing reviews on products I do not like but I have to be honest with you ladies.

I recently tried this out for the first time and I would say this is pretty decent wax. I have tried quite a few different wax products throughout the years and this is one is on the okay side. I really like that this is a stripless wax but that being said I find it difficult to use because you have to put it on correctly and rip it off. It takes quite a bit of practice to get it done. I had issues microwaving this product and took a long time for it to all get melted.
This product removes hair quite well on my legs but on underarms it is hard and doesn't remove all the hair. You got to make sure you put a thick layer on the section you want to wax and then let it dry. Then peel up the wax on the edge and then rip.
Overall, I do recommend this for someone who wants to wax little areas because this is a perfect set and also for someone with fine to medium hair. Also to anyone looking for something that consists of no strips but I do warn you it does take practise to get used to.
This product is found at local drugstores, walmart, target and maybe some grocery stores.

This is probably my favourite product this month because well they are super easy to use and last a very long time. I think these are probably one of the greatest inventions ever because they are REAL nail polish strips and they are perfect for a gal on the go. I have used so many designs in the past and I have been getting into them all over again. I am currently wearing a snakeskin pattern and I love it. There apply very easy and only take me about 20 minutes to do a whole set of nails. The only downside to these is that they are fairly pricey for one nail set application but if you have shorter nails you can cut the nail strips in half and get two uses out of them. Other than it being pricey I would highly recommend them to anyone who is a nail polish/ nail art junky like myself. You can often find these on sale at local drugstores.
P.S. These take practise to get the perfect application and if you do it right they will last you over a week. I also use a base coat underneath the strips and sometimes a topcoat

I am so excited to be writing this quick review on this product. I have been very impressed with Garnier products that have been coming out recently and this is definitely one of them. I have been using this product for about 2 weeks now and so far so good. This product smells super nice and it makes my hair super soft. I just love how inexpensive it is but how awesome it works. I put this in my hair when it is damp and let my hair air dry. I have noticed a huge improvement in the texture of my hair. This has the consistency of a liquidy cream and it soaks into my hair nicely. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who it looking for something to improve their hair and anyone who has dry frizzy hair because this will definitely surprise you. Garnier has been making me a very happy girl with very nice hair! -

I tried this product a while back and I have to say it works well. I find that this covers acne very well and under eye circles. Unfortunately, I find this way to think and with my combination skin this does not work to well for me. I find that it creases and emphasizes my blemishes even more. They also have a poor selection in shades because the lightest shade was still to dark for me. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't have dry skin and use it very little. I recommend this because I can see why people rave about it but unfortunately for me it didn't work out well. Overtime, the conclear separates in the tube and that isn't so great. I just wanted to let people know how I felt about it. -
