I received this product free from Chick Advisor and Adrien Gagnon in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I have severe sleep apnea and I cannot use CPAP machine, therefore, I have terrible sleep at night and I have a hard time waking up in the mornings. I am always tired; every single day all day and all night. I never feel refreshed after a sleep. I was really excited to try this product because I am not a coffee or tea drinker and I get my caffeine from regular coke (I could definitely do without the calories!!) or caffeine pills which make me jittery. I was hoping this would be the answer to my prayers in making me feel awake. I have to say, I did not like the liquid having to be mixed and I'm busy in the mornings with a young child getting ready for school so mixing a drink isn't another step I wanted to add to my hectic mornings. Definitely mix this with juice to try to cover the taste. I just didn't enjoy the taste. It did work somewhat for me - but I'm sure it would work better on someone who has regular tiredness and not severe daily fatigue from untreated sleep apnea. I won't purchase this product because of the mixing and the taste. However, I think it would be a phenomenal idea to make this in a tablet version. I would definitely buy it as a tablet. Unlike caffeine pills this didn't make me jittery, so that's a real plus. And the attempt at hitting the market for those who do not drink coffee or tea and who would prefer not to drink the liquid calories of cola, this is a GENIUS idea. Bravo! Please improve the taste and even better, prepare shots already mixed with a nice taste and I would buy that. Give us more flavors to choose from. Not everyone has the same tastebuds. I am really impressed about the concept of this product just not the taste and the extra step of mixing. First preference is tablet form, second preference is chewable form in a GOOD flavor, third preference is liquid shots in alternate good flavors so you don't have to mix the product. Please keep trying because there's a market for this type of product for sure!
Thank you both for the opportunity to try this!

I really like Vaseline moisturizers, some better than others. This one is probably now my favorite. It's smells sooooo nice. It's such a very appealing scent that I could just slather it on all day for the smell alone. It reminds me of summer. It's in a large tube so you can squeeze out as little or as much as you want. I use it all over my body. I can't stand having dry hands so I use it a lot on my hands. I have moisturizer in every room in the house and my handbags, work, etc. I would be happy having this one in every room. It soaks into your skin beautifully and makes you feel so smooth. It's so hydrating. It's called a serum but it's still white and thick like a lotion. It feels a bit greasy (I find all Vaseline products do to be honest) but I don't mind. After it sinks into my skin I can feel the skin is slightly slippery, but again, I hate having dry hands (or skin) so I don't mind. Definitely a repurchase. Mine was on sale but I would pay full price. -

I had such high hopes for this under eye brightener because Smashbox has great products. I didn't thin it was worth it at all. It's too expensive for a tiny tube and I've used way better, much less expensive under eye brighteners. It didn't work for me at all. You shouldn't have to use a lot and I used a very liberal amount and it did nothing for my eyes. -
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer in Clear

There is a reason why this is the number 1 primer. Wow, it is so good and feels great on the skin. It provides an excellent oil free base evendors if you just wear it on its own. I use it under foundation to avoid the cakey foundation look ad I have dry skin. It works wonders. I hate that it's so expensive for such a small tube - $44. Even though you don't need a lot, the tube is too small to justify the price. There are more and more primers on the market now so it will likely come down to price for me if I purchase again. $44 is just way too much money to spend even on the best primer. -

I won this along with another face product and while it's called a sleep mask it's actually a big jar of gel like face lotion with micro beads that pop open on your skin as you gently rub it on. I used it on my face and neck. It's sooooo nice. Cooling and feels like gel that turns into water and soaks right into your skin. The fragrance is supposed to help you sleep but I find it very overpowering at first and then it fades away (or I at least became used to it). I have a LOT of spring allergies right now that make my eyes run but even though I applied it right under the eye area it didn't bother my eyes, make them burn, itch or water so that's a really good thing and leads me to believe it's probably ok for more sensitive skin. I put it on right before bed and I was worried it would just rub off on my pillow. But it soaked in so quickly that didn't happen at all. What an amazing product - I woke up with refreshed skin after just one use and my face was really soft and moisturized. It's a high end product and really expensive. I checked the retail price and I think it was around $80. I can see the jar lasting a long time because you don't need a lot of product even if you use it on your neck too like I did. I can't say at this point whether I will purchase again or not. I will have to see after continued use if it's worth the price. It is a unique product though - different from the usual night cream which tends to be thick. I don't really like the scent but because it fades quickly it will likely be price that dictates whether I purchase it to use again. I would not have paid for it if I didn't get it free to try. Way too expensive. If it's ever on a good sale I would get it. -

This hand cream was purchased at Winner's. The fragrance is lovely, about a medium scent but fades after a bit. It's a nice, creamy hand lotion that isn't sticky and you only need a little. It doesn't exactly soak into your skin as much as provide a barrier. It makes your hands a bit slippery but in a silky way. It's such a nice scent and formula I will definitely buy it again if I see it. -

Okay so this is a product I stand behind. My one complaint is I got the jar and I prefer a pump so the cream doesn't collect under my fingernails. I wanted the largest product though. If there was an applicator stick that came with it like some of my face creams that would be awesome. Like a tongue depressor stick except shorter. My legs FLAKE especially in winter. I hate it - I look like a snake shedding it's scales. No joke, my legs leave white bits on the inside of black pants. So gross. And I can't stop scratching so that makes it reddened and worse. This cream is awesome to combat those serious flakes and redness. Look past the slightly high price and say goodbye to scaly red skin. -

Now this is a cream that helps with that annoying dry winter itch that makes your skin Crack or flake. I hate that sensation! This calming cream gets rid of the red. I would compare it to an Aveeno cream with oatmeal to soothe. It's thicker and slippery in texture on my hands but not greasy. I use it for hands mostly because that and my feet are my biggest problem area all year round. I have used it on the sides of my nose too, which tends to flake, but I wouldn't use it on my whole face. Just not the right formula. It's a good buy and a great product. -

Eucerin hand repair cream works great. I have very dry hands and am forever buying different hand lotions and creams. This one is in my top ten. I haven't found the perfect hand cream yet but some are getting pretty close. This helps provide a barrier especially when your hands are always in water. I will buy again. Again, the price isn't the best for such a small tube but I have so many purses I'm always losing my hand creams which I take everywhere with me. It does get used up quickly. I'd buy a multi pack for purses if they sold it and the price was decent. -

I think this lip balm is just too pricey. It works nicely but I can think of other brands that are in this price range that are better.
I've always had dry lips, especially in cold dry Alberta winters and in the hot summer sun. It's moisturizing and does the job but I'm not wowed by it.
