I got this product as part of the Chick Advisor Review Panel so I am not sure on price.
I received the GOSH Giant Blush in shade 02 Shy.
At first I thought it was going to be too dark on my skin because I'm very pale with grey eyes and medium brown hair but I was wrong!
This is the perfect shade of blush for me, it's almost the exact color I go when I blush naturally without sparkles!
The product goes on easily and blends very well, a little product goes a long way.
The packaging is really easy to use, it rolls up easily and without snagging, the lid is handy to keep the product clean. There also seems to be a lot of product for what seems like a small package, I think I'll be able to use it for a long time.
I have yet to wear the blush for any length of time to find out if it stays matte or wears well but I have high hopes for it and I hope that GOSH keeps making it.

I was looking for a new body wash that would help moisturize with a nice smell. I hit on this one and knew it would be good. I love the smell, it's not overpowering like alot of shower gels are, just a nice subtle hint of water lily and the smell lasts on my skin, it makes me smell fresh and clean.
The oils beads are just the right size and melt easily to moisturize without clogging my pores. You don't need much product on a bath poof as it lathers up nicely and everything rinses clean. The container has a easy open flip top lid, I can't count the number of times that I had to fight with a stubborn lid on other washes.
The container is a fairly good size so I won't have to buy for awhile and I hope when I do that the product is still available.

*Disclaimer: I received this product as part of ChickAdvisor's Product Review Club
Pros: I thought this litter worked very well, it clumped well
Kept the odor down
It didn't create dust.
My cat didn't track it out
It didn't stick to her paws
She is declawed (previous owner declawed her) and the litter didn't seem to cause her any discomfort
Cons: The scent is strange, I'm not sure what it is.
The size of box for the cost is outrageous, if I hadn't received it free I doubt I'd buy it
They didn't carry any bigger sizes at the Target I got mine at, the box is too small to fill my cat box as my cat likes to dig deep to bury her waste.
It didn't last 7 days without starting to smell, also I can't imagine waiting a week to clean the cat box.
Conclusion: If they come out with bigger sizes and drop the price, I may consider if in the future but for now I will stick with my current brand.

I had received a sample which I loved so I went out and bought a bottle. I'm abit disappointed with the full sized bottle though.
Pros: good size bottle, spray is adjustable, nice scent, a little spray goes a long way.
Cons: the scent isn't as nice in the bigger bottles as it was in the sample size, more vanilla then lavender, it may just need to be shaken before use. It takes a long time to dry with the bigger bottle, I don't like getting into bed only to find a wet spot. It's a bit expensive for what is basically fabric refresher.
I still have some left in the sample bottle which I can refill to take along on trips and the large size although expensive should last a long time as you only need to use a little.

I bought this balm on a bit of a whim and a sale. I needed a pick me up and it was on sale at my local Rexall.
Pros: I love the container's feel, it's a bit like suede. The packaging is cool, it has a wind off lid and the domed product means that you can moisturize both lips at the same time. The scent of the product is minty like a mint gum, not too overpowering and can hide coffee breath easily. I liked the texture of the formula as it went on smoothly, isn't sticky and didn't irritate my lips. I find myself applying it whenever I get the chance. It goes well under colored lip products and you can still taste the mint.
Cons: Although I like the container's feel, I don't like the shape, it's awkward to put into a pocket. The lid is a concern as you can't apply the product one handed and I worry that I will lose the lid as it might roll away. I also thought that it was a bit pricey for what is basically a mint lip balm.
Final Verdict: I will only buy again if I can find it on sale.

I received these as a member of the Product Review club.
I actually really liked these bars, they were sweet without being overly sweet, the chocolate is a nice change and tasted like chocolate.
The bars were soft and chewy, some bars like this can end up being hard or sticky. I was even able to willingly get my partner to eat them and he refuses to eat quinoa.
I hope to find these in a local store as they are handy to take along.

I got this mascara from a promotion. I was really excited to try out this mascara purely because of the dual ended brush.
I've tried it a few times and although I like the smaller brush, the rest of the mascara was a let down.
Cons: I feel that the brushes are too short, I'm left handed so I hold the brush near the bridge of my nose to apply mascara to my right eye and I was constantly trying to make it reach as the brush handle didn't fit over my nose, I think that it would work better if the brushes would on the center part and the formula was in the outer container. The formula flakes really easy and also clumps. I didn't get any noticeable "false eyelashes" look just clumpy look, no volume and lack of separation, not build-able without clumping.
Pros: I like the little brush, it worked for getting the lashes that the big one missed, I didn't use it on my lower eyelashes as I think it looks spidery. The formula's color is good, consistent and not too watery. Due to design issues, there isn't alot of formula and will probably run out quickly.
I won't buy this product but I may reuse the smaller brush.

This concealer is good for light coverage, don't expect to get heavy massive coverage as it's a very sheer formula.
I like the slim packaging and the color actually fits me (I got Fair) and doesn't end up making me look like I tried to cover my black circles. I also like the sponge applicator, you get a good amount of product with each dip of the wand, it may be tricky to get out the last bit of product though.
My price is fair, not as cheap as some other brands but it is Cover Girl.
I bought it on sale at Walmart for $4.99 regular around $8.

I broke down and bought this as I've noticed more wrinkles as I'm getting older even though I thought 31 is too early to be seeing fine lines.
It was abit more than I'm normally willing to pay for such a small amount, it's in a tiny 50 ml white glass jar with a turquoise lid and cost $16 at Walmart.
I like the formula as it absorbs quickly without leaving any residue, the scent is a bit old ladyish but disappears quickly with a SPF of 15 (I would prefer a higher SPF as I'm fair but counter that with sunscreen) I've been using it for about 2 weeks off and on and I haven't noticed any improvement yet but I haven't been using it constantly as it made my skin break out. (It's terrible having wrinkles and acne at the same time :)
I'm going to give it more time and hope to see results since you don't use alot of product I think the tiny jar will last me a long time as long as I don't drop it and the jar breaks.

The Healing Garden Tender Lavender Rainwater body mist is my go-to perfume for everyday and I add their scented body cream or body wash for extra ommph for special occasions.
I love this stuff but it can be hard to find except for during the holidays so that's when I stock up and even ask for it for Christmas.
It has a light soothing scent of lavender that doesn't smell fake and isn't too harsh or having a funny after scent. The size is really good at 189 mL and is in a easy to use pump form. It comes in a plastic bottle that stays sturdy on a nightstand or bathroom counter, the color of the spray is a light purple color that doesn't stain.
I've worn this scent for years as it is lovely and doesn't react with my body PH (it smells the same even after hours of wear) It has become my signature scent and my boyfriend says that every time he smells it, it's a comforting scent. I hope that they never stop making this stuff.
