I'm a big fan of Batiste dry shampoo. I've always found it to perform well, last a long time, and smell pleasant. Though I've never had a concern with white residue in my dark brown hair, I can understand that it might become an issue for some. That's part of why this new product is so nice.
My concern with trying this product out was two-fold:
1. What if it left a lot of colour that didn't match my hair?
2. Would getting my hair wet cause the colour to run out and embarrass me?
Luckily, neither ended up being a problem. The colour isn't too strong, and didn't noticeably change the colour of my roots. I also took the time to stand under my shower looking for colour runoff that could prove embarrassing in a freak rainstorm, but nothing happnened. I didn't see any colour come out until I lathered with my shampoo.
Total win!

NIVEA 3-in-1 Gentle Cleansing Wipes

I've tried a ton of different cleaning wipes, and these are the softest, most heavily perfumed ones I've used. Those attributes could be good or bad depending on your preferences.
The almond oil in these is obvious, and provides a really nice soft finish on the skin. They're definitely soothing wipes rather than the exfoliating wipes i tend to gravitate towards. I found the smell strong, but it didn't linger indefinitely.
I'd use these again, but probably won't buy them. They're too expensive and not the right fit for my needs.

This eye makeup remover is pretty similar to most two layered (oil + water) based formulas. It requires a quick shake before use, and then can be easily applied with a cotton pad. I didn't experience any stinging, and this took off almost all of my makeup (including long lasting liners like my UD 24/7 pencils). The only challenge it couldn't conquer is Benefit's It's real mascara. That said, I've yet to find a remover that completely gets rid of the stuff.
With products this liquid I always worry a little about the package being leaky. This held up great during transit to me, and I'd totally trust it bouncing around in my makeup bag on trips.

Bath & Body Works 3 Wick Candle
These are my standard home fragrance candles. Great variety of scents, great scent staying power, and they last a long time even with all three wicks burning. I only ever buy these on sale, and stock up during savings events.

McCain Superfries Straight Cut
These are our go-to fries. Knowing that we have a bag in the freezer along with other basics means we always have a tasty side or snack when we need a quick meal.

This shampoo is designed to provide moisture without weighing down your hair. On those points, I think it does a very good job. The shampoo lathers well, has a nice, light scent, and rinses cleanly. I find that most shampoos are fairly similar, and only the really bad ones stand out to me. This works perfectly well, but isn't a revelation in hair care or anything.

This is a night, light hold hairspray. I use this type of spray for two specific purposes: holding in flyaways on ponytails/pulled back hair, and adding a bit of staying power to heatstyling like with my curling iron or hot rollers.
Overall, I found the smell pleasant, and the hold decent. It certainly isn't designed to hold intricate updos in place, or lock in tight curls, but it did add staying power to my styles without the characteristic crunchiness of some stronger hold hairspray products.

Dove Pure Care Dry Oil Nourishing Hair Treatment with African Macadamia Oil
This is one of the best values I've found in hair oils. I've used Moroccanoil treatment, as well as pure Argan Oil in my hair to keep my waves from turning into a frizz-fest, and this works as well as any of the others at a much nicer price point. I... +
This is one of the best values I've found in hair oils. I've used Moroccanoil treatment, as well as pure Argan Oil in my hair to keep my waves from turning into a frizz-fest, and this works as well as any of the others at a much nicer price point. I like to smell and feel of this product, and it can be used with a light hand that makes it last a long time.

This is a decent dry shampoo in that it provides some short term lift and oil absorption, smells nice, and applies evenly and without a ton of residue.
I found it easy to use and brush into my hair, and wish only that the effect lasted for longer (I got 3-4 hours max). On second day hair, this made me much more comfortable wearing my hair down and still having volume at my roots. When my hair was actually noticeably heavy at the roots, it served only well enough to let me throw it into a ponytail without looking dirty/gross.
Altogether a pretty good product I would buy again.
