This is one of my favorite lip balms! It has a nice minty scent and tingle when you put it on. I find that it isn't usually moisturizing enough for winter use, but for the rest of the year I usually keep a tube with me. One of my favorite Burt's Bees products too! This pack is great for stocking stuffings. I also like adding some curling ribbon and giving it to those people who I don't usually exchange gifts with but want to give them a little something.

I received this for reviewing. I have short, straight hair and reading the label with much talk of waves and curls made me think this product wasn't made for me. Tried it a few times and yes, I don't need this product. Then I passed it on to my friend who has very curly hair naturally and usually uses some product or other to tame her curls. She got the best results when she used it on already brushed hair. It gave definition to her curls and kept them together. It also tamed frizziness although it isn't humid enough right now to see if it could handle hardcore frizzies. It does weigh hair a bit down so I wouldn't use it on straight hair. Overall she really enjoyed the product and said at the price point she would definitely consider buying it again.

Like other reviewers have said, you need a light touch with this stuff otherwise you end up with stiff or icky feeling hair. I have short, straight hair and used a bit to add a bit of texture. It seems to work well on short and long hair. I wouldn't necessarily use only this if you need texture and hold though. After a windy day my hair was a bit out of sorts, but at least this is somewhat remoldable. The smell isn't great, but it did leave my hair fairly soft. At the price point I wouldn't call it a bargain, but considering the amount used for each application (very little) I wouldn't say this was expensive either. Overall a nice texturizer that won't leave hair feeling like it is full of product.

First, this is with my body chemistry. If the sound of the scent sounds good to you, I'd recommend trying it because scents react so completely differently on different people. I don't know what it is about Kenzo fragrances but they seem to disappear within an hour from my skin. Woodsy floral would be a good way to describe this. When first sprayed it has a slight spicy, heavy wood note. That faded very quickly into cherry blossom floral which also faded into an interesting bottom note which I can not put my finger on, but it is beautiful and light. I like the bottles for this fragrance also. The largest 100 mL is orange, 50 is white, and 30 is pink. For the price and length of wear on my skin, this isn't worth the price which is a shame because it really is a nice scent.

I always say for fragrances to go ahead and go in store and test it before you buy and I think this is even more the case with this fragrance. It didn't work well with my body chemistry. For me the first five or ten minutes were overpowering with a flowery baby powder scent. Then the powder died away and I was left with a light flowery scent, very summery, can't put my finger on what it is exactly but none of the heavy florals like rose. Very nice, relaxed, everyday kind of scent. About half an hour later I was left with a faint fresh vanilla scent which was quite lovely. The problem for me is that I shouldn't be hitting the bottom notes of a perfume within an hour. Normally I'm a walk through a mist of perfume kinda gal, but with this stuff I have to give a few good squirts straight on, gag on the powder scent for a bit and then enjoy the middle and bottom notes. The bottle is absolutely adorable, but for the price I expected more staying power.

The mascara in these don't do that much for length and volume. It is mostly about color. The base coat goes on well, but if you are looking for the high contrast that the advertisements show, you will be disappointed. I found that the highlighting topcoat just added a sheen of color which shimmers and sparkles but is more noticed when you are moved or in sunlight. An eyelash comb is useful to get out any clumps since you need to put it on thickly to get a good shade of color. It is reasonably priced and there are a good range on colors. Overall, I enjoyed this mascara but for me it loses major points for the advertising which makes you think that there will be a lot more contrast with this.

Looking at the list of ingredients the thing that pops out at me first is that these are mostly sugar in the shape of cane sugar and corn syrup. There are some good ingredients in there but I think I would be better off taking a supplement, drinking a cup of green tea and having an acai berry smoothie. For the price I would expect more. They taste fine, but I could buy bags and bags of jelly beans and proper gummi bears for the price of one bag of these and have much more enjoyment for the amount of sugar ingested. Get these if you are obsessed with gummi bears, supplements and throwing your money away.

I picked up the lip and cheek stain in a duo package. One side had the stain and the other had a lip gloss. The crimson that comes in a full-size package is nice but really red. A tiny dot blended into the cheeks gives a nice natural pink glow and sets well with a brushing of powder. For the lips I'm not quite sold. It is an okay base for lipstick, but I prefer a good lip liner. With a coating of gloss it looks nice but by the end of the day parts rub off and it doesn't have the same even finish and ease of application as a good quality lipstick. It also doesn't layer well so if you don't like the color of the initial layer or two you probably won't get the results you want. My other duo had a brownish stain which I LOVE on my cheeks. I use it when I don't want to wear make-up but want to give my face a glow. I wish the Body Shop would come out with a full size of that color!

I have short, dry, thick, straight hair. I really like this range because it leaves my hair soft and light. It moisturizes without weighing my hair down so while I don't consider it volumizing it isn't de-volumizing like so many other shampoos and conditioners. Some reviewers mentioned getting build-up. I haven't really had a problem with it but I do use a clarifying shampoo once or twice a month or more often if I use a lot of product so that could be it. The price is reasonable and during a sale a bargain. The scents in the range are really nice.
