St. Ives® Acne Control Apricot Scrub
My holy grail. I've been using this stuff since I was in the ninth grade. This is not and should not be an every day scrub. I use it whenever I feel like my skin isnt quite at its softest.

St. Ives® Fresh Skin Collagen Elastin Facial Moisturizer
I used this on my face and it made my skin rough and caused breakouts. I wasn't a fan of the texture either. Overall, this product was just a fail.I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

St. Ives® Blackhead Clearing Green Tea Scrub
This is a great scrub. I like the fact that it has salicylic acid, so it helps control acne. I also like that it's gentle enough to use when you're skin is sensitive/if you have sensitive skin. If you're not a fan of the harsher apricot scrub... +

Compared to other heat protectants on the market, this one is relatively cheap. It's a great product to use for blow drying your hair. As for straightening with a flat iron, I can't say it was as effective. I've used it twice for flat ironing:
The first time I sprayed in liberally onto my hair. And of course this left my hair wet with product (I should preface what I'm about to say by letting you know I'm a black woman with natural hair). So once my hair was wet, it reverted and shrunk. And flat ironing wet shrunken curls was a hassle. Not to mention, the crunchy noise and the steam were a bit alarming.
The second time I used this product, I sprayed less on my hair, then twisted my hair and left it to dry before flat ironing. This was better in terms of not having a crunchy burning noise and steam flying out of my head.
The protectant says it protects from heat up to 450 F. If have to disagree with this because I did suffer some heat damage both times. Not a lot, but still it was there. I would recommend using this product with heat no higher than 350 F.
I've never had a problem with blow drying.

Eucerin Original Lotion

In April of 2014, I had a REALLY bad skin reaction to another lotion (not gonna name names) which left my skin dry, inflamed, itchy and incredibly thin. My doctor gave me a corticosteroid and also recommend I use this lotion on my face. I just need to say THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! Incredibly moisturizing, and soothed my skin, didn't burn and wasn't greasy. I also found it made a great boy lotion since I tend to have dry body skin. Long story short, I love Eucerin. -
Down Under Natural's Strength & Fortify Shampoo
Bought this stuff on a whim because I needed shampoo and it was on sale for $2. Is it the best shampoo ever? No, but does it get my hair and scalp clean? Yes, and that's good enough for me.

Make Up For Ever Professional Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation
My go-to foundation. Very mattifying, so it's great for people with oily skin, or for those who like a matte look to their make up.

Makeup For Ever Skin Equalizer Primer
Love this stuff. I've tried primers in the past (Smashbox, Dr. Jart+) but they weren't super effective. I just chalked it up to me having extremely greasy skin. When I use MUFE's Step 1, shine is NON-EXISTENT! All my life I thought I would just... +
Love this stuff. I've tried primers in the past (Smashbox, Dr. Jart+) but they weren't super effective. I just chalked it up to me having extremely greasy skin. When I use MUFE's Step 1, shine is NON-EXISTENT! All my life I thought I would just have to suffer with a greasy face if I chose to wear make-up, but thanks to this primer I can finally slay and not look like a pizza! -
Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies
It's alright. I would recommend it on the taste in the gummies; they are delicious. Did it improve my hair, skin and nails? Eh. My nails became stronger but that was it.

THIS STUFF IS THR HOLY GRAIL!
I swear by this stuff! My hair regimen has changed quite a bit since I stopped using chemical straighteners and started growing my hair naturally, but this stuff has stayed. The product is amazing; it leaves my hair soooooooooo soft. It's great for wash-n-go's, braid-outs, twist-outs, or just as a moisturizer. And it smells AMAZING! The price is a little on the steep end here in Canada, but a little goes a long way with this product so it's not too too bad.
