I LOVE the everything balm. If you are familiar with Rosebud Salve, this functions much the same way. It has numerous uses. I have used to so far to cure chapped skin around my nose from constant sniffles, and on the eczema on the backs of my hands. I have also used it to smooth unruly eyebrows.
I have not given is 5 stars because I do have two minor complains. 1) I do not like the raspberry scent. I realize this is a personal preference however. 2) The pump, while it does work is somewhat tempermental and I had to fiddle with it a bit before it began to work when my bottle was new. Also it seems to take several pumps each time before the product actually comes out which can be annoying.
Overall a great product and I would recommend it.

This was a nice line of nail polishes but I am faithful to my Jamberry nail wraps. The time consuming nature of waiting for your nails to dry alone is enough to deter me frkm repurchasing this. That being said, I was a dedicated nail polish user before Jamberry so I can give my review based on my experience with other lines.
The base coat was lovely. It went on smooth and dried quickly. It made my nails look shiny and healthy.
I did not like the lacquer at all. I found the texure of the lacquer itself to be thick and unforgiving when trying to apply it carefully (read: slowly). It was slightly chunky, I'm guessing because it was attempting to dry. However I found that it was streaky and almost clumpy. The red itself was pretty and universally flattering but I wouldn't repurchase based on this alone.
The top coat was nice but not exceptional compared to my favourite ever, Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat.

This product smells absolutely amazing! Even if it didn't work at all I would be tempted to use it just for the scent. Luckily it actually does work. My hair was super shiny after running a few pumps through it. I am excited to see how it improves the texture of my hair longer term. For 8.99 it's a great deal compared to similar products on the market so I would certainly purchase more. -

What a great tasting wine! I love red but I know that many of my wine drinking friends prefer white. I think this is a good accessible red wine as it's a blend of Shiraz and Cabernet. It's not as deep and strong as a fuller Shiraz and I think that makes it a great wine for red wine novices. I would definitely recommend it. -

I LOVE this mascara. Like seriously, all the cheering emojis. It rivals my Benefit They're Real mascara. My lashes are thick and luscious even without curling them and without any eyeliner at all. I am not crazy about the brush because I prefer it to be thicker to help me separate the lashes but I'm sure I will get used to it with some practice. -

I absolutely love the feeling of this lipstick. It is a super smooth and velvety feeling on my lips, not sticky at all. The colours are highly pigmented and look very high quality on. The tube is even cute! I think I would definitely need to use it... +
I absolutely love the feeling of this lipstick. It is a super smooth and velvety feeling on my lips, not sticky at all. The colours are highly pigmented and look very high quality on. The tube is even cute! I think I would definitely need to use it with a lip liner but otherwise am extremely happy with how well it went on and how easy it was to use. Beautiful lipstick. -

I don't tend to use makeup primer so I don't have a lot of experience to compare this to. I love the silky smooth texture of my skin after I applied it and can only imagine how smooth my foundation will glide on, on top of it. It instantly mattified my forehead which I was pleased to see.
I received this product to test for free from ChickAdvisor.

I really liked these wipes. I've been using the micellar make-up remover ones everyday so I am able to compare the two. If you want to exfoliate then these are definitely for you. They didn't sting at all though I don't think they're as good for removing make-up and they could irritate seriously sensitive skin. -

These wipes are outstanding; they are easily the best new product I have purchased in the past few months in terms of cosmetics and skin care.
I should preface this review by saying that I have sensitive and slightly acne prone skin. Because of this I try to minimize the number of products I use on my face because the more I use, the more likely I am to cause irritation. There are two reasons I decided to search out good quality make-up removing wipes: 1) I go to hot yoga directly from work so I needed something that would take off ALL of my make up before class and 2) I got a Clarisonic (also a godsend in terms of skin care for me) and wanted to remove my stubborn eye make up before I used it each night because I was finding that the Clarisonic alone was leaving some mascara residue under my eyes.
These wipes accomplished both of these goals beautifully. Not only did they remove all traces of make up before yoga but and also before bed but they left my skin feeling dewy, and SMOOTH. Like, wow you must be using some miracle skin care product kind of smooth. I was just so pleased with how the overall texture of my skin improved just by introducing this one product into my nightly skin care routine.
I am extremely happy with these wipes and will continue to use them. In fact I am already on my third package! Definitely recommend.

This serum has transformed my skin. Last year I went looking for a skin care regimen that would get rid of my dark spots. My skin is sensitive and slightly acne prone. I was looking to get perfect skin for my wedding and really wanted to get rid of my acne scars, which bother me way more than the occasional breakout. I did a lot of research and found that a product with Vitamin C was exactly what I was looking for – it helps with cell turnover basically speeding up the process with getting rid of dark marks.
I use it once a day, every morning after cleansing but before moisturizing. I highly recommend introducing a serum into your routine if you don’t use one already because it really helps the overall condition of your skin and helps your moisturizer to sink in. This serum smells amazing and sinks into your skin quickly without any sticky feel.
When I say it transformed my skin, I am not exaggerating. The most noticeable difference was in my skin’s texture – it became smoother right away. It definitely helps with getting rid of my dark spots faster, but don’t think that they’re going to disappear overnight. It’s good, but it’s not a miracle.
It’s expensive, but lasts a really long time. You can often get smaller kits with a sample sized bottle to try it out (which is what I did in the 3 Little Wonders kit). I buy the 1 oz bottle which is $60. The larger bottle is 1.7 oz for $90 which works out to about the same price.
Highly recommend this product and will repurchase again and again and again (I’m already on my third bottle).
