Since my daughter was born and had a bad reaction to the pink Johnson & Johnson's baby wash, I switched to Aveeno Baby Wash & Shampoo and have been using it ever since! It has a light smell to it and leaves my daughter's skin feeling really smooth. As for her hair, her hair is already fine so it remains soft. But I wouldn't recommend it as a shampoo, as it leaves tangles in my daughter's hair.
I love this body wash! My face may be combination oily, but the rest of my body is normal to dry. Aveeno is my favorite brand to use as far as body wash and lotions. This body wash has a mild smell and it's over powering like some other scented body washes. It also leaves my skin feeling smooth after squeezing some into a loofa sponge. I use this when I can't find their body wash for sensitive skin.
I actually use the green one, which is the Shine Control. I use this every morning when I'm in the shower and it definitely wakes me up! The bursting beads are the best! They help scrub out all the unnecessary dirt and build-up out of your face. While rinsing my face, I'm still scrubbing and I can feel all the molecules giving me that burst of freshness. This leaves my face feeling clean and fresh and doesn't feel like it's damaging your skin like some other scrubs that feel like they're scratching your face.
I had been looking for a new facial cleaner and since I've used Cetaphil when I was younger, due to my eczema/psoriasis I decided to give this cleanser a try, especially since my skin has changed from dry to combination oily. I definitely feel my skin feeling smoother after I wash my face with this product... BUT it doesn't make my face feeling fresh. I'm all for products that give me that tingling feeling after I wash my face and this doesn't give me that. I feel as though I have to wash my face again.
More for show...
I got this as a gift from my boyfriend sometime in the spring, since he knew I needed some new makeup brushes. Before I even opened it, our dear friend, Linda D (who did the first review on this product) told us how the brushes sucked and that she ended up returning it. I honestly wasn't going to use the brushes and was just going to keep it for show, which is what I've done. It's all still in the box just sitting on our bookshelf.
If you're looking for a good set of brushes, you're better off getting ELF's 12 piece brush set than spending over $40 for this Hello Kitty set.
Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 3 is a total must have for my beauty routine! I take a cotton ball for this and swab it all over my face before I put any makeup on. I've noticed a difference in my makeup on my face... leaving my makeup more smooth and light.
And when I get ready for bed, I use makeup remover wipes, rinse, and apply the clarifying lotion all over my face with a cotton ball. It's amazing to see how much excess makeup the makeup remover missed.
This product definitely helps my face breathe and feeling fresh.
Funny thing is, I didn't know about this product until I saw it the medicine cabinet that my sister uses this.
I don't really have a steady hand when it comes to putting a thin line of liquid eyeliner on my eyelid. I also have lids that have lots of creases, especially on my right eyelid. So my thin line gets smudged on the rest of my lid. Using a full makeup remover wipe just to clean up little areas of makeup mishaps on my face is such a waste! Therefore, I'm so happy that I found this product laying around in my sister's bathroom. You just take a Q-tip with this Clinique Take the Day off Makeup Remover for those little mishaps and you're done! It's quick and erases those mistakes instantly! No smudges, no mess! So I went out and bought a bottle of my own and I absolutely love it!
OMG... I finally got my hands on this highly talked about palette. I've been searching everywhere for it and Ulta's catalog said they had them back in stock and I immediately put my order in. I just received it in the mail yesterday and I'm already in love with it! All the colors are just gorgeous! I've always been into dark and pink shadows, but I think I've finally found the right shades for my face with the Naked palette. Absolutely love it!!!
You pay for what you get.
Since it wasn't an expensive compact mirror, I didn't really care for it. Considering my purse does get tossed around quite a bit, I'm not surprised that one side of the mirror decided to come off. So if you're looking for a mirror you're not going to care for, this is the one to get.
A friend of my suggested that I tried E.L.F's Liquid Eyeliner if I'm into gel liners. I gave it a try and the fine tip brush was very helpful to apply right below my eyes, but I did have to go over my lines several times to look full. On top of that, this is not great to use during the summer time. It does smudge and it got runny after a couple of hours for me. Not to mention, this was while sitting in my office at work. Can you imagine what I would've looked like had I been sitting out in the sun? Overall, I won't be purchasing this product again. I'll stick to the gel liners.
