This is the latest blush I bought and I love love loooove it!!! It is the most flattering shade, goes on beautifully and just stays. Not only is the colour super flattering, but the 'look' of it is amazing. It gives a soft sheeny highlight to the skin, face looks healthy and flushed. Right now this is my most favourite blush and I highly recommend it to everyone. But good luck finding this shade! Seems like I'm not the only one that loves it! -

This is an awesome spray / light leave in conditioner. I really like using it! My hair is right now fried (my fault, I dyed it way too much..anyways), but I still use it! I like using a leave in conditioner because it makes me feel like I'm doing something good for my hair, but I don't like the oily weighed down flat hair I get when I do use it. This baby conditions but doesn't weigh down my hair or make it look oily and flat.
Really recommend this. This is a more affordable alternative to the pricier products out there. Two thumbs up.

I went to the Pantene blow out and had the professionals at the Blo Bar take a go at taming my hair.
The conditioner, just like the shampoo, worked really well on my hair! My hair felt clean without feeling weighed down. I am on the dry side (skin, hair, etc) and often with lightweight conditioners I don't feel like my hairs moisturized enough. Not so with this one. I actually really liked it. It didn't deep condition, but I wasn't expecting it to. It was a great everyday conditioner.
Unfortunately since going to the Blo Bar and getting my hair done, I've coloured my hair a few times and ...err..sorta fried my hair. So right now at my present fried condition, this conditioner isn't moisturizing enough. But before I fried it, it was perfect!
So I shared the conditioner with my mom who has fine hair and it is absolutely ideal for her! After using this shampoo and conditioner combo, her hair is soft, moisturized and still voluminous. In the past she sometimes wouldn't use conditioner because it weight her hair down. This one does not do that. If anything it tames her hair while still keeping it soft and hydrated. I know she'll be stuck on this shampoo for a long time!
I highly recommend it to everyone, especially those with fine hair. This moisturizes without weighing you down or giving you a flat hair look. I'll be going back to this once my hair has a chance to recover.

I have to say the shampoo worked really well for me! My hair felt clean without feeling weighed down, almost like I used a clarifying shampoo, but still moisturized and without the stripped dry feeling you would get with a clarifying shampoo.

I actually tried this through chickadvisor (or perhaps CA gave me the sister products which I loved so much so I went and bought this?) Anyways I was either given or introduced to this line by CA. I should correct and say my mom was. At the time I gave the cleaning supplies to her to test and she *LOVED* them. That was many years ago, she still loves them!
Now that I have my own place she recommends these to me. I bought them and they work great! I really feel they clean better than regular chemical alternatives, which is not something I would expect because I used to think that if it's not chemical, it's not working.
Great product! I recommend this to all my friends. A huge help in keeping the house squeaky clean.

I received this bar c/o Chickadvisor Review Club.
First of all, this thing can double as a purse freshener lol! I had it in my purse for a few days (taking it between houses) and man did my purse smell AMAZING! You would unzip my bag and smell that gorgeous gorgeous smell. Just by the way it perfumed my purse I was ready to love it.
And then I tried it. So far I've only tried it a few times, and typically I like to wait a little before writing a review, but I just couldn't wait writing this review because I don't think my opinion will change no matter how much I try it.
I loved it! It lathers so well, feels so silky on my face, it doesn't sting my eyes, and washes off without leaving any gross filmy residue. It doesn't dry out my skin (I have dryyyy skin to begin with), rather my skin feels moisturized after washing with this bar. I don't know what it was about the way it lathered, but I really enjoyed washing my face with this. I do apply a moisturizer after washing, but I would do that with any cleanser. I was really truly impressed with this "beauty bar". It really lives up to its name!!
I only have two suggestions to make it even better. 1) Make the product animal byproduct and animal cruelty free. This way not only will you get a better, more hygienic product but your product will be appealing to a greater audience! And 2) Does this exact same thing come in a creamy dispenser form? I loved using the beauty bar, but I just found it a bit icky when putting it away on my soap dish. I know it's clean, but it just doesn't feel very clean when I have to put the soap dished bar on my face again... I absolutely love this and will definitely buy it once mines run out. I'll actually look see if Dove has a cream dispenser version and get that if its available.
Highly recommend this product!! Its not drying but it doesn't leave a film of moisture so it's perfect for the oily and dry sisters out there!

This is a relatively OK mascara. It lengthened a bit, but nothing too dramatic. It was too liquidy to offer any volume. I wasn't overly impressed with this mascara. "Average" is the perfect word when describing this mascara. It doesn't volume or lengthen more than a dollar store mascara would. I really didn't like the brush, I found it too soft and pliable. I prefer a hard mascara brush that pushes against my lashes and coats them better. I have to use a business card (or something equally hard) behind my lash line when applying with this wand.
I bought it from Walmart for about $10, and really, it wasn't worth the $10. This mascara would have received a thumbs up if the price was about $3 or so.
The one pro about this formula is it left my lashes soft and not hard or crumbly. It didn't do anything major for me, I wouldn't recommend this only because there are other better alternatives out there (such as Maybelline define-a-lash).

I received this product thanks to Chick Advisor review club, just in time too because I was on the lookout for a good car freshener. I'm sensitive to smells, and nowadays I seem to be getting motion sickness too. I really wanted a freshener that would get rid of the bad-car smell and freshen the air without being cloying.
Let me sum it up for you:
-the product is really light. I was very skeptical about it being so light. Will it stay put, being so light? Now I realize how great it is precisely because it is light! It doesn't bounce off the clip, it's not heavy so it doesn't fall off. It just stays clipped perfectly, even if I drive a little rough sometimes.
-It is small!! I first thought that it would run out really fast and I'd just have to buy another one. That was a few weeks ago. I put it on the lowest setting, which is just perfect for my car. At the lowest setting, it gives the perfect distribution of scent in my car, and looking at the product, it hasn't gone down at all so I guess there's more in there than meets the eye!
-The smell is beautiful. Linen and Sky just never smelled as good as this. You have to try it to believe it.
I will most definitely be buying this once mine runs out. In all the years of owning cars, I've never found the *perfect* freshener until now. This is such a beautiful light scent, just enough for my car without being cloying or overwhelming, a lightweight product that so far is lasting well past its weight!
I highly recommend this!!

- 0.11 oz Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Naked (pinky neutral)
I have the original Naked Palette which people say suits brown skin tones more than Naked2. I was resolved to not spend $60 on a similar palette, however when I saw Naked2 in person at Sephora and actually saw the vibrancy and quality of the colours I couldn't resist owning it too.
Each colour is extremely pigmented. Some of the colours look similar to eachother, but when swatched they look different enough to warrant being in the same palette.
These are neutral colours that in my opinion are best worn on their own as a wash of all over lid colour. The only mixable colours are ones like Foxy, Bootycall and Blackout. Maybe Busted & Tease...maybe. I wouldn't though.
My only complaint is as some of the colours have such gorgeous sparkle to them, you actually get chunks of sparkle landing on your cheeks. Workaround obviously is to apply foundation after eyeshadow so you have the chance of wiping it off with makeup remover (translucent shadow on cheeks trick doesn't seem to help).
I don't agree that this palette isn't for olive / dark skin tones. The colours are so vibrant and gorgeous, they would suit anyone. I don't think it's a good idea to mix and blend these colours with eachother - too much of a good thing doesn't look that good. Each one worn as a wash of colour looks brilliant.
The lipgloss is beautiful and in my opinion will suit every skin tone. The dual ended brush is SO useful!
Highly recommend this palette. It's expensive, but worth it.

I have slight hyper-pigmentation in my chin area and around my nose and concealers don't quite cut it. They tend to make my skin look ashier, instead of neutralizing the pigmentation. I went to Sephora to try out MUFE correctors, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. That's when I came across this product.
It works beautifully for what it's supposed to do - it makes the hyper-pigmentation look salmon-y in colour. It actually looks really weird until you apply the foundation over top. and when I apply foundation over top, it makes my entire face look very even toned. However I saw a small pimple on my chin, and I never get pimples, so I'm still trying to figure out if this corrector is what caused it. I really hope not! I'm trying it out on different parts of my face to see if I get pimples anywhere else... I will update the review with my findings. However, barring possible breakouts, this corrector is great! It really corrects hyper-pigmentation and when worn under foundation, helps even out skin tone.
