Great conditioner especially for color treated hair.
I tried this product for free as part of the Chickadvisor review panel. This conditioner is very nice, it is quite thick and creamy so I really like the texture. It applied very nicely to my hair. I had just recently bleached my hair and this conditioner did a great job of keeping it soft and manageable. My hair was not frizzy at all which is fantastic.
The only thing I didn't love about this product is that it doesn't really have a scent (which may be a bonus to some people). When I use products on my hair I generally like to pick a fun or relaxing scent that creates an enjoyable bathing experience. Unfortunately, I didn't get that with this product as there is no discernable scent to me.
Overall, I will probably stick to my regular conditioner as it works just as well as this one and has the scent I enjoy.

I received this product for free in exchange for an unbiased review.
I've used Batiste products in the past but, this was my first time using the new lotus scent. It smells fantastic, not overly perfumey but, definitely flowery and fragrant.
The first time I used it was on my 3 day unwashed hair. While it didn't look like I'd freshly washed my hair (and I didn't expect it too) it did give it body, freshened it go to work without washing it and made it smell great.
The next time I tried it on freshly washed (and blow dried hair) to give me some extra volume. This didn't provide a lot of extra vavoom to my hair but, it did add some extra texture making styling easier.
My favourite use was on my bangs to get rid of the greasy oiliness between washes and keep them looking fresh.
I would definitely recommend this to others.

I received these wipes as part of the ChickAdvisor Review Club and was unfortunately disappointed.
Pros:
I liked the convenience of the wipe.
The wipe itself was nice and thick (not flimsy)
Gentle and no strong perfume-y smell.
Best used for touching up makeup mistakes. For example if I got shadow dust on my cheeks during application this was a quick and easy way to clean that up without redoing my whole face.
Cons:
Did not do a good job removing my makeup.
Had to use multiple wipes to clean my whole face and even then I still felt like there was residue left behind.
Waterproof mascara was nearly impossible to get off without a lot of scrubbing.
Overall:
I felt like these wipes did not live up to their claims. Also, I was confused as to what their 3-in-1 use was supposed to be for. I much prefer other brands of makeup remover wipes that I've used in the past and will not be changing brands.

I received this as a free sample from ChickAdvisor. I wear a lot of makeup. Especially eye makeup. I find I have trouble getting all of my waterproof mascara off without scrubbing at my eyes. This usually leads to red, puffy, eyes...not very attractive.
As soon as I tried the Nivea Express Eye Make-up Remover this all changed. I put a little bit on a cotton ball and with a couple of swipes all of my eye makeup wiped off gently with ease. It took a few cotton balls to completely remove all of the makeup but, it was quick, easy and best of all no scrubbing.
I will definitely be incorporating this in beauty cleanup routine. Highly recommended for people who wear eye makeup especially waterproof items.

NEUTROGENA® All-in-One Make-Up Removing Cleansing Wipes
Amazing! These wipe my makeup off in no time. Even waterproof mascara comes off in a flash. I especially like using them to clean up little smudges around my eyes when applying makeup (goodbye eye shadow dust all over my cheeks...)

Dove Antiperspirant Deodorant for Sensitive Skin
Really like this product. Switching from my usual deodorant to this... Doesn't leave me with any irritating red bumps if I apply after shaving.

Almay Smart Shade Concealer
Unfortunately I have very pale skin. I purchased the lightest shade available and it still leaves my skin looking orangey. Maybe this works better for darker complexions but not for me.

Burt's Bees Pomegranate Moisturizing Lip Balm
Love love love this! Keeps my lips super soft and kissable. Doesn't leave them feeling sticky like some products. I apply this under my lipstick for a smooth glossy look (and soft lips) and reapply as needed throughout the day.
