Yes To Carrots C is for Conditioner Pampering Hair Mud Conditioner

Bizarre but effective marketing...

I saw this brand appear at Duane Reade and couldn't resist trying it out. Now, the scent is very unusual. I like it, but it seems slightly like Play-Do. It contains a combination of very interesting ingredients, such as pumpkin. It gives the impression of being made of natural ingredients that are healthy for your hair and body. It makes my hair nice and lightly fragranced but it's not amazing. Worth the price though.

Yes To Cucumbers Color Care Daily Makeover Shampoo

New to the "Yes to" line

I think this shampoo smells really nice and delicate, and has a pretty color! It's a good value for a natural product. It makes my hair feel clean and still works up a lather even though it doesn't contain SLS. I don't follow up with the corresponding conditioner, however.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture SPF 15

Decent moisturizer

I have combination skin that is very, very fair, so I always wear spf 15. This moisturizer is good for the price (usually around 10 at the drugstore). It didn't make me break out or anything. However, I think the Aveeno lotions absorb a little better and it smells slightly too much like sunscreen for my taste.

L'Oreal Paris FeatherLash Mascara

Why don't they sell it in NY/NJ Anymore?!

This is by far the best drugstore mascara I've tried, and I have tried A LOT of them. I'm obsessed with mascara, it's kind of ridiculous. This gave the best lush, long, but natural looking lashes. I haven't been able to find it in stores for at least 2 years. The new mascara in the orange tube everyone is buying doesn't compare!

Clairol Natural Instincts Brass Free

I love this stuff

I'm not that experienced with home hair dye; I've really only had it professionally done at really nice salons because I was afraid. I like to take the brassy redness out of my dark brown hair in the fall, after I'm done being in the sun, and darken it one or two shades. This dye does that perfectly, removes much of the brass, and, if left on a bit longer than 10 minutes, will dye my hair a shade darker while looking very natural. It leaves hair smelling good and feeling soft. The conditioner that comes with it makes hair so unbelievably soft, there must be lots of silicone in it or something. I love this stuff!!
