I didn't think I would actually like this mascara, but it's honestly a contender for loyal purchasing! I notice a big difference in length when I use it and I like that it doesn't flake or clump my eyelashes together.
I also really like the wand itself. The brush is long, easy to use and it's really light. I had a coupon for this product as well and found it on sale at Wal Mart so it was a steal but normally at it's $10 price point, I would definitely buy it.
The one thing I don't like is that I find that while it elongates, it doesn't so much give volume or thicken my lashes so I like to add a coat of Lash Blast on top of this for big, long standout lashes.

I tried this shampoo out first at our Pantene Blow Out event and I totally saw the difference in my hair. It was light, bouncy with the perfect amount of wave. I tried this one out on my own and I loved how light my hair felt! I love the smell of this shampoo as well. It's a good price and I like that it doesn't contain silicone which weighs it down.
After a few uses, I've found that this shampoo works really well when I straighten my hair, but blown out to be curly, I don't like that my hair gets much more frizzy because it doesn't have silicone in it. So, after drying it, I need to apply oil and cream to get down the frizz.. That's not to say its a good shampoo, it is but not for my kind of crazy curly hair, so yes I recommend but not for damaged or curly hair (both of which I have).

I started using this product about 2 weeks a go and I have noticed a difference in my skin. It's brighter and my skin tone is more even. I use this moisturizer in the morning underneath my makeup for SPF protection and to hydrate my skin. It's a thicker cream which I really like, I find it very moisturizing which is good because my skin gets dry with the acne products I use. So far, I really like this product but the price is a bit steep. You don't need to use a lot because it is so moisturizing but the jar isn't very big either. I would recommend this product for someone looking for a heavier cream and who wants brightening but as an everyday moisturizer or a mattfying moisturizer, I would go for something else.
I received this product to review from L'Oreal.

The one thing I really notice about this product is how clean my skin feels after I use it. It really helps to clear out the dirt and reduce oil. My favourite thing about this product is the fact that it is a scrub. The exfoiliating action is great on my skin and helps to clear away all the gross stuff. It is a bit pricey for what it is, even if the claims do hold up. Also, I'm not crazy about how you use it, it is a bit messy and kind of gets everywhere.
All in all, I like the product, I like that is does work and gives a really great clean so I would recommend and may purchase again. I received this product from Lush to review.

I bought this about a month a go and have been using it everyday since then. I am obsessed with it. It contains anti bacterial properties, it's organic and it can be used daily without over drying. It helps to control the oil on my face and I notice a huge difference. It is a quick drying gel-ish formula so I use this as spot treatment on a pimple under makeup but mostly I just use it all over my face at night and in the morning under moisturizer. It works to treat as well as prevent. My one complaint is that there isn't enough. The price is good, but I wish there was more of it. -

When I first received this spray I was a bit sceptical. It claims to give you easy, instant highlights just by spraying and then flat ironing over top. However, I tried this out and it really works! I didn't think the colour would really show either because my hair is so dark, but I see a major difference.
It's easy to use but it helps if someone is there to do it for you of course! The spray is basically hydrogen peroxide so don't go overboard and be warned that this will somewhat damage your hair, but if you want to go lighter than you kind of need to do it. It's a bit nerve wracking to use at first because there is some sizzling and steam but don't worry- that's normal! It's easiest to use this product for highlighting specific strands because it is a spray, but I tried doing both strands and dying the bottom to create an ombre effect. The spray does't saturate very thoroughly on my hair so I had some undyed pieces, but overall it created a more natural look.
I'm very happy with my results! I received this product for free but would recommend and purchase again!

I got the chance to first try this at the Pantene Aqua Light event when my hair was blown out and I loved it. I received a free sample of this as well from Pantene at the event and every time I have washed my hair since then, I've used this product on my wet hair afterwards. I love the results I get from this item! My hair feels soft, light and boucy and fluffy! My curls are more defined and last longer too. Because this doesn't contain silicone, my hair isn't weighed down as it normally would be if I was using an oil or heavier cream. I really like this product and I think I will continue to buy it. -
Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream for Combination to Oily Skin

I first received a sample of this in the mail and I was curious to see how it would compare to other North American as well as Asian BB creams. I think it does a pretty good job of living up to the hype! It's fairly thick, pigmented and does do a good job of brightening up my skin. It has a nice finish, even coverage and it has SOF 15. I also found that it wasn't too oily either while still being nice and moisturising.
I liked the sample so much, I actually went back and bought myself a full size bottle. My only complaint is the price. It is a bit pricey for what it is, but they do give you a generous amount. I would rather spend this amount on an Asian BB cream which usually also contains a serum in it- this one doesn't have that so it is essential comparable to a tinted moisturiser. If you do manage to find it on sale there are many coupons out there for this as well and you can get it for about $10- which isn't bad at all!

Revlon ColorStay Makeup with Softflex

I compare this foundation with Make Up Forever HD Foundation, it's thick, pigmented and goes on very smooth. I like that it gives me a matte finish and it doesn't cake on. This one is a bit pricier for a drgustore foundation but I found mine on sale for about half price so I snapped it up! I would definitely buy this one again. It lasts a really long time too. The one thing I hate about it is the packaging. I like to have foundations with a pump or a squeeze bottle but this doesn't have either so it gets a bit messy. -

What I like about this product is the variety of shades and colours and the fact that the colours feel new and modern to me, they aren't the old, stale colours you can tell are from a home box. It gives good coverage and one box will cover an entire head (even if you have long hair like I do!). I found that this dye is pretty subtle. I have medium dark brown hair and I went for a reddish lighter brown shade and while I did see some lightening and some red, it wasn't extreme. Most people didn't notice it, or if they did, it was just a small difference. It didn't hurt my hair at all, I felt like my hair was soft after I had dyed it. It had a pleasant scent to it too. It does fade within the first three washes I would say, but after that it doesn't really fade anymore. I'd like it if it did last shinier for longer but I think thats more of a science problem than anything else.
The packaging of the product is very attractive and nice, it's a bit pricier than other home dyes (compare 11 to 9) but I really like the foam feature and found it easier to apply. It has a non drip formula, which holds true but it is still possible to make a mess with this one! I'm very happy with my colour, as small a change as it was and I think I would use this dye again.
I received this dye for free from John Frieda.
