Physicians Formula - Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Jumbo Lash Mascara

Physicians Formula claims that this mascara provides 100% dramatic volume & glamour, 100% of the total ingredients are from natural origin, 47% of the ingredients are from organic farming, organisoy moisturizes and nourish lases, and eco-olive a natural antioxidant, shields lashes from harsh environmental aggressors.
Physicians Formula is one of my favorite drugstore brands because they don't test on animals. I like how they are into organic ingredients and economically friendly. This mascara was a huge disappointment. It gave me good volume and length, separates my lashes very nicely, doesn't clump at all, and the packaging is absolutely adorable. However, this smudges on me way too much! It claims to be smudge-free but unfortunately, it makes me looking a like a panda bear. Mascaras do tend to smudge on me but it hasn't smudged as bad as this one. Otherwise, this would have been a perfect mascara for me because I love the instant result that it delivers. I'm so sad. 4 out of 10

Garnier Fructis - Nutrient Spray

Garnier claims that this unique formula combines liquid shine with weightless nutritive oils for an extra dose of nutrition. With each spray, hair is nourished, instantly softer, shinier and easier to manage.
I use this after using heat styling implements as a finishing touch. It seals my dry brittle ends and makes my hair look healthier. This gives a healthy shine but doesn't leave your hair looking greasy. I love the fruity smell. The bottle seems small but you don't need a lot of product so it has been lasting me quite a while now. Since I'm running out of my leave-in conditioner, I'm going to start using this after I take a shower on my dampened hair to seal in the moisture and nourish them. 8 out of 10

Maybelline - Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation

Maybelline claims that this foundation provides 100% baby-smooth perfection and 14 hour hydration. I have extremely dry skin and when I wear any kind of liquid foundation, my face will appear flaky, blotchy, and unattractive. I was looking for a hydrating foundation and came across this one. I really like this foundation. It doesn't make my face look dry and keeps my skin looking hydrated. This foundation comes with the sponge but I prefer applying it with a foundation brush. It has light coverage but still manages to cover my red cheeks, and matches my skin tone perfectly. It gives you a natural dewy finish which I love and prefer. Because of the nature of this product, I always finish it off with a powder. This will be my favorite drugstore foundation that I've ever came across. 9 out of 10

Freeman - Avocado & Oatmeal Facial Clay Mask

This is the Freeman's clay mask from the Feeling Beautiful line. It claims that the mask purges pores and draws out excess oils and dirt.
I love this clay mask! When I first used it, it did burn me a little and was worried that this might irritate my skin. After several use, I got used to it and it no longer burns my face. I love the smell of this too. After washing it off, my skin instantly looks brighter, smooth, and glowing within the surface of my skin. My skin is free of pores! I only use this once a week but it makes me want to use it twice or three times a week because I love the way my skin looks after using this. At $3.99 this is a steal. This company does not test on animals so they are cruelty free. They have so many different kinds of mask, I want to try all of them. 9 out of 10

Aveeno - Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 15

Aveeno claims that with clinically proven Total Soy Complex and natural light diffusers, this daily moisturizer evens out skin tone and texture and immediately reflects light to bring out skin's natural radiance. Its fast-absorbing formula leaves skin soft and smooth and is clinically proven to improve skin tone and texture in as little as 4 weeks. Gentle enough for sensitive skin and daily use.
I use this moisturizer everyday under my makeup. It's great because it contains an SPF of 15. I love the smell. It's very subtle and smells clean and fresh. I've been using this for more than 3 months and I haven't noticed any difference in my skin tone nor texture since I've started the use. I wasn't particularly disappointed in that because I wasn't expecting this moisturizer to do so. It's very lightweight and fast absorbing. It's probably just my extremely sensitive skin overreacting to products, but I do feel a little burning sensation after I apply this. I guess it wasn't gentle enough for MY sensitive skin. It's a pretty big bottle so it will last me quite a long time. 7 out of 10

Vaseline - Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Lotion

Vaseline claims that this lotion penetrates deeply to smooth away roughness and the appearance of dark spots, so your skin can glow from within. Not only do I suffer from extremely dry face, but I suffer from dry body as well. This lotion is great for my dry skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn't make you feel greasy at all. It smells yummy like chocolate. It seems like it's helping the appearance of razor bumps on my legs too. 7 out of 10

The Body Shop - Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oils are great for treating acne due to its effectiveness of killing the bacteria that cause acne. I used to use the drugstore on the spot treatments for my acne but it will burn, get irritated, and the area would become extremely dry. Tea tree oil has less of those side effects because they're not made from harsh chemicals. This is my holy grail for treating my acne. The smell isn't so great but I really don't care as long as it's going to treat my breakouts. I just dab it on with a q-tip, and it's not a overnight miracle treatment but the pimple will definitely go away. It calms down the redness around my entire cheek area and I also feel like it's helping post acne marks to fade. I don't experience any dryness or further irritation. This company does not test on animals which is always a plus! There are non-diluted tea tree oils sold so I will give those a try after I run out of this one. 10 out of 10

Clean & Clear - Daily Pore Cleanser

Clean & Clear claims that the gentle micro-scrubbers remove impurities like pore-clogging dirt, oil, and dead surface skin. First of all, I have extremely dry, sensitive, acne-prone skin which is a ridiculous skin type to have to deal with. I initially bought this for my boyfriend but since he's away and I ran out of cleanser, I gave this a try. This is almost like a very gentle version of a scrub. I feel like it has improved my pores by making them look smaller, almost invisible. My skin feels smooth and soft after using this. I was actually surprised by the results because I generally am not a huge fan of Clean & Clear products. Actually, I kind of hate them. This smells literally like soap (like a cheap hotel body wash), and I wish they could've made it fragrance free. Since I'm looking for a more gentle, moisturizing cleanser, I won't be purchasing this again but if you have oily to normal skin type with pores that you want to take care of, you might want to give this a try. 6 out of 10

Aussie - 3 Minute Miracle Deeeeep Conditioner

 

My hair is dry, brittle, and has split ends from previous color treatments and the use of heat styling implements. I gave this deep conditioner a try to use it once a week. I like how the tube is easy to use; you just squeeze out and it comes out from the bottom of the tube. It smells sweet like coconut and the results are amazing. As soon as I wash it out, I notice that my hair is smooth and soft. You really can't beat the price either. It is definitely worth trying even if you feel like your hair is healthy enough, you can prevent from damaging your hair by using deep conditioners regularly especially if you're trying to grow it out. 10 out of 10
