A refreshing silky smooth body wash with a cucumber and green tea scent.
I received this product free to try out and honestly ended up liking this product.
You don't need much to get a good lather and it feels #AsLightAs air.
It does a good job at washing and then rinses easily away with no feeling of residue or skin feeling dry. This one seems to have a stronger scent than the other three Dove Shower Foams I've tried but it's far from being overpowering. You're not left smelling it off of your skin all day, which I'm glad because I don't like strong scents.
I would definitely buy this in the future.

I received this product free to try out and after testing for a few days, I'm a fan.
A little goes a long way I find and it lathers up into a foam #AsLightAs air.
It does a good job at washing and then rinses easily away. There is just a hint of vanilla scent left over on the skin. I don't like highly scented products so this was a plus for me.
The shea butter in it make it feel a tad more luxurious than the other Dove foams I tried.
I would definitely buy this in the future.

I received this item for free to test as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
This is a gentle product with no scent added and it works very well at getting make up off at the end of the day. Even my waterproof lippie that I usually need an oil to remove with came off.
While it works great at getting makeup and surface dirt off, I did not find that it helped with getting rid of dead skin on my face or sebaceous filaments (If you don't know what that is, they're often mistaken for blackheads). I still needed to do regular oil cleaning to disolved the gunk building up around my pores and keep them clear.
If you want to use the Simple Micellar Cleaning Water as a make up remover though, it works great for that. A few cotton pads and it's all gone.

I received this item for free to test as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
These wipes have enough moisture to them to get the job done. I've tried other brands in the past where the wipes were too dry but the Simple Micellar ones were just right.
There is no fragrance added to these which I appreciated.
These did a really good job of getting my makeup off, including a waterproof lippie that I like to wear. Usually I need an oil based product to get this lippie off.
These didn't irritate my sensitive eyes and work to get stubborn mascara off without making me lose lashes.
Nice at the end of the day to just whip one of these out and quickly get the make up all off.

I received this item for free to test as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
My skin can be a bit flakey in some spots of my face and this moisturizer did a pretty good job keeping that at bay.
It's a nice light moisturizer that absorbs pretty quickly and is fragrance free.
It left my skin feeling nice and fresh, even on areas that I was going through some irritation from a harsh cleaning product I'd tried. This did that trick and made the sting fo away.
I would consider getting more of this after this bottle is empty.

I received this product to try for free along with the Dream Velvet Foundation. I'm very familiar with applying foundation with various beauty blenders and love them but the Dream Blender fell short for me.
It honestly felt too dense and was too small for me to get the product on my face. I found the sponge part absorbed too much foundation compared to other brand blenders by high end and cheap knock offs.
By all means, DO try the foundation but skip the Dream Blender. The foundation itself is great!

I received this product for free to try for the company.
I've tried lots of foundations in high to low end. I have skin that can be flaky but oily at the same time. I had no breakouts with this product at all. It didn't leave me like an oil slick nor did it oxidize or start to "melt" off my face after a few hours.
It stayed put all day and while there was some shine at the end, I think that's forgivable. Even without a primer it stayed put and covered my large pores. I find it to be a light foundation that helps even out my red blotches I have along my cheeks and nose. It also didn't highlight the areas that can be flaky on me. I'm very picky and quite impressed.
I definitely recommend trying this product. I did apply it with the Dream Blender but prefered to use a differnt beauty blender to apply it the best.

I received this free to test along with the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep and have been using the products for approx 2 weeks, starting from when I received them.
The serum isn't heavy on the face and did not irritate my sensitive, fair skin. I have been applying this before my makeup and found that it didn't leave me shiny. I have oily skin and if I forget my primer, my makeup usually comes off or looks like an oil slick after a few hours. I was impressed though that the days I used only the serum under my foundation, my makeup actually stayed put for most of the day.
The product has a sort of pink pearly sheen to it. You can see the shimmer a bit on your fingers after applying it. It makes for a fresh look to my skin but don't worry it does not leave your face sparkly. I would not use a product if it made my face all shimmery. I was not expecting to but I actually really like the serum and how it makes my face feel.
Two weeks isn't long enough I'm sure to tell what the full effects will be but I'm pleased. I haven't had any breakouts from it either.

I received this product free to review. It retails for approx $52 but a little goes a long way.
I've been using it for approx two weeks and it has been fine on my sensitive, fair skin. It has a scent that is not overpowering and goes away shortly after application. That's a major plus for me.
The product is a gel cream that goes on nicely. It's not greasy and feels nice going on.
I don't think two weeks I was given upon receiving the item is long enough to see full effects but my skin has been soft and without any breakouts while using it.

I bought a set of these strips to try and ended up buying more of these afterwards.
They were a bit wide for my nails so I cut them a bit to fit before taking off the backing.
I used acetone on my nails first to be sure there were no oils on my nails. I have had these on now for close to a week and I have no chips, no peeling. Just a teeny bit of tip wear as I type A LOT and am hard on my nails day to day.
To be sure they last, I applied the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel topcoat after and put my nails under a sunlamp for one minute.
These are great if you want cute patterns on your nails but aren't good at doing nail art. It's also a lot cheaper than a salon mani.
When you do want to take them off, they remove easily with nail polish remover as they're made out of nail polish.
Easy to apply and long wearing! If you have a dollar store nearby, sometimes you find these for $2. Great deal.
I've used nail stickers and nail wraps before and didn't like them. They never last on me and I found them hard to apply smoothly. The polish strips you can stretch a bit so they smooth out easily.
The photo in my review is after four days of wear.
