I was surprised it wasn't better.

Conisdering how much I love their facial skincare line I'm always a little bit disappointed when I use this hand/body lotion. It's a bit thin and doesn't knock my socks off when it comes to locking moisture in. I've used many others that feel like they're doing a better job and aren't as expensive.

Neutrogena is good at this kind of thing.

I really like most Neutrogena products I try-- with the great exception being their makeup remover which I hate with a passion! So besides my bad vibes about their eye makeup remover I find myself buying their sunscreen again and again. I keep it in rotation with my Aveeno, which I also love. The higher the SPF, the better! I say, at least. And as Acne prone as I am (thanks mom and dad), it doesn't break me out. I actually LIKE how it interacts with my foundation. Yay! *claps wildly*

Subtle at best and you'll still smell funny.

So while I find these to be non-irritating to my skin and smell LESS funky than most tanning products, they still DO smell less than wonderful. The "tan" you get is the tiniest hint of a shaddow, I just don't think it's worth the effort... or the cost. I find it makes much more sense to just spend the bucks on a decent self tanner (I like Sun labs) and then buy a nice moisturizer for in between your tan application that won't make you smell so strange all the time.

It dries my hair out.

So much for moist.. it's really drying. I got a great deal on this huge bottle but now I know why- it's not a great product! I really only use it now when my hair hasn't been washed for a few days and has a lot of other products in in. It works pretty well for taking out the residue left by dimethicone based stuff but beyond that it just sits in my shower.

It's expensive but it's nice to have.

My showers wouldn't be complete without this Neutrogena oil. I also use the product with the black cap that Daniela M mentioned below but I'm pretty sure the oil is the same. It's great to use at the end of a shower with one of those plastic loofa things (I'm too oily afterwards unless I use the loofa with it). I do a quick final rinse and pat dry... PS, your towel will be nice and oily now too so plan on washing it after! It really makes my skin feel super smooth.

Skeptical at first but it delivered!

I picked this up at a Supercuts so I wasn't sure how this was going to condition. I'm so glad I bought this! It smells amazing and works really well to tame my less than appealing split ends. A bit pricey at $24 a jar but a quality product nonetheless.

Too sickly sweet for me.

Perfume is one of those super personal things (and they smell a little bit different on everyone) so maybe it's just ME that this scent doesn't work for. But to be honest, a good friend of mine wears it, and I don't care for it on her either : / It's just too sweet for my taste but that might really appeal to someone else!

Conditions but left a residue behind.

I tried this after rediscovering it in one of my many "product bins." It did a good job of conditioning my hair, and while I liked the smooth texture it provided right after I blowdried, I noticed that my hair felt pretty filmy the next day. It's not terribly expensive but I'm not sure I'd purchase this again.

Not for me but the bottle is fantastic!

So perfume is definitely one of those things that is very personal. What smells great to one person just might not do it for another. I was lured in by the $12 pricetage of the mini Flora and decided it was definitely worth trying. What can I say... I'm a sucker for packaging. The teeny little bottle with it's teeny little bow totally made me want it. The perfume is nice but a bit "Grandma" for me, if ya know what I mean. I forced a few coworkers to smell my arm and they agreed that it smelled "mature" for sure. But who knows, maybe YOU'LL love it?

What's not to love?

It's a fab, floral-y (but subtly citrus) scent and has a GIANT CAT HEAD on it! Thanks to my FF Kristina H., I can acually call this wonder-product mine! She definitely wins at sharing. I love it (and her- just don't tell her, we don't gush in person so much). I take it everywhere (the perfume, not Kristina) and have had oodles of girls ask me what I'm wearing because they love it too. It's definitely worth the investment, you know, in case you don't have a totally awesome FF that hooks you up with Hello Kitty Rollerball perfumes.
