Benefit BADgal Lash

There are better mascaras out there for the price

I consider myself a mascara expert and this one - despite the fun name and the big brush - doesn't deliver - at least not for the $19 price tag. The best mascaras that get you closer to the "false eyelash" effect are Too Faced's Lash Injection, Tarte's mascara, and even Maybelline's Colossal mascara, which came as a delightful surprise. All I believe use fibers to give you a nice thick fat lash. I used to love Dior's mascaras (since those always come up on the "best of" lists too), but now these 3 are the highest on my list for quality Fabulashes.

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15

Not worth the money

I think this is the most expensive lip balm out there . . . and it isn't worth it. I am a lip balm addict and although this balm is surely pleasant, isn't worth the cash - I'd rather buy a Blistex and then invest in a YSL gloss for just a few bucks more.

D.J.V. Beautenizer Fiberwig LX Mascara

Not worth it

This mascara is only useful if you want spindly lashes. I am a mascara EXPERT and this one really disappointed. I wish they could have added at least a little volume to it as well. I recommend Too Faced's Lash Injection instead - it's much better as you get the length and the volume. I will not buy this ever again. I am giving it a very low score because the price is really high for what you get.

Fresh Sugar Face Polish

Wonderful amazing winter scrub

This Sugar Face Polish has been a favorite of mine for years - and one jar lasts a long time. I have dry skin so I leave this scrub on usually for 30 minutes (sometimes more!) - and then gently scrub it off, and use the remnants to do a delicious scrub for my hands. It can leave your face a bit shiny, so I only use it at night. Definitely worth it! I don't know what I would do without it - particularly in the winter. This will give you the BEST glow.

Dr. Hauschka Deodorant

I am impressed

I am transitioning into a more holistic lifestyle and I wanted to go more au natural regarding deodorants as traditional ones are packed with chemicals. I am very impressed with this product . . . it totally works, smells nice, and keeps me from being stinky, even during my daily runs! I recommend it highly.
