AXE Phoenix Body Spray
This body spray smells nice, but isn't so strong that it's overpowering. Combined with the deodorant, it provides everything you need to get rid of the stank!

I was a little surprised when purchasing this that it was hard to find because the packaging is so much like butter that I didn't realize that it wasn't. After being in the fridge, it was slightly softer than my butter, but other than that seemed the same.
I baked lemon bars and used it on homemade bread. It has a lower melting point than butter, so softening it for the lemon bars (I forgot to leave it out) was a little trickier without melting any and they did stick a little more to the pan, but other than that, there was absolutely no difference - they were delicious! Nobody in my family noticed any difference at all.
The same with using it as a spread as butter - a true test. The texture and taste was indistinguishable from butter.
Although I don't follow a vegan diet, I have friends who do and this will make it much easier to incorporate into my regular recipes. Frankly, depending on the price point at the store, I would be happy to use this interchangeably with butter.

I bought this product for the first time last spring. I didn’t want to do any fake tanning, but I also didn’t want to come out of winter in a dress for the first time with pasty-white legs. This product delivered as promised: it very gradually added some color to my legs but was very natural-looking. Because it was gradual, I didn’t need to worry about applying incorrectly and it was very quick and easy to use in the place of my usual moisturizer. I really enjoy the scent of it as well, although if you have a scent sensitivity, this would be a product to avoid.
I’m very glad to have found this product and am now using it for my second spring with great results. Bring on dress season!

We received our Sleep sheep as a gift with our first born. We quickly found that the white noise helped dull the sounds and allowed us to continue to do things downstairs as he fell asleep. Although we sometimes had to restart it when he hadn't gone down yet, we appreciated that once he was asleep, he wasn't relying on background noise. He loved it so much that we bought a second for our daughter. Now that they're both older, I will admit to occasionally using it when my husband has the TV on downstairs and I need to get to sleep! -

I heard about this product was a friend and decided to try it because I'm so tired of having dark smudges under my eyes and always feeling like I can't get all my mascara off.
This mascara doesn't come off at all until you want it to. When you do, it just takes some warm water (enough that tearing up doesn't do it but not so much that you feel like it's inconvenient). The tubes come off fully and easily and wipe off.
The only downside is that I don't love the applicators since it feels to me like the wands should come out of the middle and not like you should hold the middle as a want. Not a huge inconvenience, just a little odd.

I was dubious about trying this product as I'm not a fan of the Mary Kay model, but I've been quite happy with the results of this product. It seems a little on the thick side, but it stays put and blends well. I would prefer a different application method as I find it difficult to get the right amount of product, but the color works with my skin tone and blends well.
Although I like the product, I find it a little pricey for what you get and will continue looking to see whether I can find a product I like as much or more for a better price. I will definitely return to it if I can't find that though.

I was a little concerned about buying this shampoo as I still remember the heavy scent of "dandruff shampoo" from long ago. I was pleasantly surprised. The scent probably isn't one I would choose over all other shampoos, but it was pleasant and not overpowering.
I get an itchy scalp and occasional flakes, which is why I decided to try this shampoo. It seemed to do the trick and I will continue to use it when I start having issues again as they're generally limited to winter.

This product was great for doing a quick clean of my face but did not perform as a make-up remover.
I loved the light, fresh scent and felt like the Micellar water did a good job on days when I wasn't wearing any make-up but it was way too much effort to try to use it to remove all my make-up on other days and it didn't do a good job removing my mascara. I did find the bottle convenient and appealing but found that I never really felt that the bottle was properly closed and was always double checking to make sure it wasn't going to leak.

I'm really happy with the effects of this primer.
I've never actually used primer before and always considered it like a bay leaf in cooking - you assume that it's doing something but don't really see a difference. However, I was surprised after applying the primer and then the usual cover-up under my eyes that when I used my BB cream over it, the cover-up blended nicely, but stayed put! I really like using this as a moisturizer under my make-up. I haven't had any negative reactions and have been happy with the results. It absorbs really quickly into the skin and has a very light, refreshing scent.
