This game is fun! It’s a neat concept and definitely requires some creative thinking. Coming up with clues and trying to guess them can be downright tricky! I love the whiteboards - gone are the days of pencils and scrap paper, or so I thought.
The biggest downside of this game is the scoring. I had to read the instructions multiple times and it made my brain hurt. There’s no way we’d be able to score this without a pencil and paper, and that takes away from the game. The QR code should be to a virtual scoreboard instead of a timer! We’ll honestly probably make up a simpler scoring method.

Peace Out Acne Treatment Serum

I was so excited to try this serum. Maybe I didn’t use it long enough, but I kept waking up with whiteheads and had to stop. Maybe once I don’t have special events I’ll try it out again, but I can’t risk new breakouts before my sister’s wedding! No issues with the actual serum, smelled nice and absorbed well. -
Peace Out Acne Healing Dot

I’ve only tried one brand of acne dots before so I was very excited to try these! They’re thicker than I expected but don’t buckle when I peel them off the sheet. They’re a decent size (covered 2 small breakouts next to each other) and very sticky - lasted all night even with rolling around! They do work as advertised- my breakouts were less red and smaller, although I found I needed to use 2 patches to really be effective. They’re also too sticky to work well on broken skin, but it still helped a bit. -

At first glance, I thought the game looked cute (although unfortunate it's not a regular lift off lid like most board games). I can see the appeal of the headbands and charms, little girls would definitely love decorating headbands! Although I feel like the charms, since they're just little pieces of cardboard, will get lost over time.
The storyline is confusing and complicated. If the goal is to collect charms, why are there room cards to "decorate" the house? I would've stuck with just charm collection or dollhouse decorating, but with so few room cards I feel like the decorating aspect is going to be boring after the game is played a few times.
I think this game would be good for girls that really like Gabby's and/or playing dress-up, but it's not my type of board game or one I'd prefer my daughter play with. I think it's very short-lived and isn't the sort of game that would have any longevity.

Maybelline New York The Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara

I have to start off by saying I have short, fine, blonde lashes that are super straight. In other words, I need miracle mascara!
This mascara did a very good job of defining my lashes (aka no clumps) and I did notice the curl (after using an eyelash curler of course) lasted longer than usual. I did try touching my lashes and they felt quite soft (I guess that's the "bounce"!). However, this mascara barely added any length or volume. It wasn't really buildable either, and there was still some flaking by the end of my work day (8h of wear?). This would be good for someone who already has long and/or full lashes and just needs some lightweight help in the colour and/or curl department.

I'll start off by saying I'm terrible at picking the right foundation colour online, and I selected a shade that was too light for my skin. That being said, I can't believe how well the foundation blended with my skin tone despite being the wrong one! Yes overall my skin looked too pale, but it blended in very well.
The pump is handy, although I can see a lot of product being left at the bottom of the bottle. It's also very thin (watery? oily?) so a lot comes out.
Overall I think this is a good foundation for someone looking for light to medium coverage. It did a better job evening out my skin tone but my dark circles were still very visible. I think the coverage is good enough for zoom meetings, but not for in-person!

Garnier Whole Blends Argan & Camellia Nourishing Shampoo Bar

I had no idea what to expect with a shampoo bar, and this is my first time trying one. At first I thought the teardrop shape was odd, but it makes it easier to run the bar along my scalp. So far I've noticed better lathering results on the 2nd round of shampooing, but it does lather and rinse well. My hair doesn't feel any better or worse after washing with this, which I take as a good sign - I wasn't sure if the bar format would affect cleanliness or moisture levels. The smell is interesting but fairly mild, and my husband loves it, so no complaints from me there!
I couldn't believe this is supposed to last 2 months, although after using it for a week it feels like I've barely made a dent. It would be pretty handy for traveling, no leaks and no impact on liquid limits!

COVERGIRL Clean Fresh Weightless Water Cream™

I really like the smell, and I would agree with the “weightless water cream” advertising - it’s similar to other “gel”-type moisturizers that are very lightweight. However, this did not last 72h. I’d easily have to reapply at least every 24h. 72h is a tall claim though, I’m not sure why any company would brag about this when it’s an unrealistic claim. -

As a huge fan of another well-known brand of chocolate hazelnut spread and a loyal Kraft peanut butter customer, I was pretty excited to try their hazelnut spread! The sample was really small but it tasted pretty good. I don't think it's as good as the "name brand", but if it's cheaper at the grocery store it's definitely worth a try! Not as sugary and fake tasting as some of the store brand "dupes"! -

I was quite confused by the name of this product, as I don't know what "after care" means in this context. After sun, after cleansing? The labelling could do with some clarification. Either way I used this at night before bed. It is very thin, and a couple pumps will do for the whole face and neck. It does take a while to absorb but doesn't feel greasy or oily. It didn't feel any different, but by the next morning I was surprised at how soft and smooth my skin felt! -
