I got this free from Chick Advisor review club.
I liked the texture, the smell was a little overwhelming and perfumy at first but settles down. You don't need much which is good because the container is small. It's a pretty container, pink with a mirrored wind off lid.
It didn't do much for my skin except make me break out in a few spots. My fine lines have not budged and although it moisturised my skin, it wasn't any more effective that other products that aren't as expensive. The scent reminded me of Soap and Glory's Make Yourself Youthful which also made me break out. You also aren't supposed to use it around your eyes which is too bad because that's where most of my fine lines are.
I looked it up in stores and the price is too steep for me to ever buy it.

I received this product free from Chick Advisor Review Club
The product is scent free, water based and silky to the touch. It isn't sticky like other brands and is non staining. You need very little of the product to get it's intended use and it doesn't harm condoms.
The packaging is nice and doesn't scream lube. It has an easy open cap that closes securely and the bottle shape makes sure that it doesn't roll onto the floor and break.
The bottle is a decent size and I hope to find it for a good price in store.
I have nothing bad to say about this product and it may replace my regular brand.

I've never tried dry shampoo before as they have always seemed too expensive for what was basically a starch and scent.
I liked the scent, it wasn't flowery smelling. I also liked how it was easy to use but you can't get it too close to your hair or you will end up with with white residue and since I am a brunette, it left a greyish tint to my hair until I brushed it out.
It didn't make my hair clean but it did absorb some oil until I wash able to wash my hair the next morning.
I think a product like this would be good for when you can't wash your hair or to take camping when you need a quick freshening up but I don't think I would use it on a regular basis since a full sized can would be too expensive, too big to carry and it's just easier to put my hair up when it needs a wash.

I really love Softlips products and watermelon so when I found a double pack at my closing Target i was excited since I got 20% off the price which is normally around $5 for a pack of 2.
I need to use lip balm with spf but I've found other balms with spf end up tasting like sunscreen or give my lips a whitish tone. When I opened up the balm, it had a sweet and fruity smell that wasn't overwhelming, it goes on smooth and still has the slight minty tingle that SoftLips are known for.
There is no color and the formula was moisturising with just a hint of watermelon flavor but not the sickly sweet perfume taste of other melon flavored products.
It has an spf of 20 and can be used under other lip products to make sure your lips are protected.
The only think I don't like is that sometimes the stick twists up in my pocket and doesn't always twists back down on it's own and I have to push it.
I hope to be able to find this balm again but since I was able to get it in a double pack it may be awhile before I have to.

St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub

I ran out of my favorite grapefruit scrub (it seems like they don't make it anymore) and thought this might be a good alternative. The smell isn't as strong as I'd like it to be but it's ok. I like that the product is thick enough to stay on my face while I'm scrubbing and doesn't get into my eyes.
I like that it's paraben free and oil free. It rinses well and leave my skin clean. It's a good size and I like that you can take the lid off when you get low on product so you don't waste any.
In all a good product, not overwhelming or really exciting but it does what it's supposed to do. I would buy again.

I got this shampoo because I thought maybe my hair was suffering dryness and brittleness due to the sulfates in my shampoo even though I don't use heat.
Pros: the bottle is really pretty, it's a pearl like teal color. I like the smell, I've read that some people don't like the smell and think it smells like cleaner which I don't find at all, I found it was a little salty and clean smelling.
I'm used to lots of lather in shampoos so at first it didn't seem like my hair was getting clean but it worked just as well.
I let my hair air dry and from the first use my hair didn't seem weighed down and had lots of volume.
Cons: It can be expensive, I'm not one to spend $10 on a bottle of shampoo but if this lasts me a long time it may be worth it.
I didn't buy the conditioner but a deep treatment from the same line, it works better with a conditioner as you don't get as much flyaways and static but I think being winter abit of static is unavoidable.

I received this powder from the Chick Advisor Review Club
I've never been one for loose powders as I am a bit of a clumsy person and drop things but I liked that this powder had a twist open lid and you could get the powder out without making a bit mess.
The powder was light, didn't have a smell and the color I got (004) was a pretty good match for me. I don't think it covers great but could be good as a setting powder instead of using a translucent one that can sometimes be too white. It also didn't settle into my lines and pores like some liquids can.
I would've liked if the company had included a little powder puff to apply it as I guess I don't own the right brush for it.
Overall, I think I would see if I could find this product as it is light, doesn't smell and is fairly easy to use as long as you remember to close it.

I received this mascara as part of Chick Advisor's Review Club #GOSHgoddess
I had high hopes for this mascara as I've tried other double ended mascara and have been disappointed but this one has once again been a disappointment.
Pros:
I like the brush design with the product being in the larger end, I've had double ended mascaras that had the product in the middle so you didn't get much formula.
I like the size of the brush on the upper lash side
Goes on smooth without a lot of clumps
Cons:
The lower lash brush is too big and you get too much product on lower lashes. It should be a thinner brush (it's supposed to be smaller than the top lash brush but it's not much of a difference).
Smell, it smells very chemically (I know mascaras don't smell like daisies but it shouldn't be that strong)
Color payoff is disappointing, there was not much difference in color and it took a couple of coats to see a difference. on my lashes
This mascara might be good for someone just starting out with mascara and makeup or someone who only wants a mascara that is light and not too noticeable.

I love this color, it is a microsparkle deep red like you would see an actual red carpet (without the sparkles of course)
The brush although a little large deposits a good amount of polish but you have to be careful to not overload the brush. The formula is good and covers well, 2 coats was plenty and more might make it prone to chipping. It's supposed to be extreme wear but I wouldn't wear it without a good top coat.
It would be a perfect Christmas party color. I hope to buy it again if I can find it.

I got this product from Chick Advisor's Review Club.
I'm glad i got this product to try free because I wouldn't buy it on my own as I really didn't like it.
The bottle is a cute idea and looks like a nail polish and at first that's what I thought it was. The brush is a regular doe foot foam and holds a decent amount of product with good color pay off.
I don't like the color, it was so bright, I got the color Funky which is not a good look for my pale skin and using a tissue to pat it down helps a bit but I felt like I was just wasting product. The formula didn't go on evenly so I had to use my finger to add some and it stained my finger.
After a wear out I found that it left color on my tea mug and didn't stay on my lips and by the end of the day the only color that remained was some staining under my lip where I had made a mistake and tried to wipe off.
I wouldn't buy this unless I could find another color and they change the formula to make it last.
