This almost goes without saying but those with dry skin will need to apply a moisturizer over this since this serum lacks oils that complete the picture of what dry skin needs to truly improve. This pairs extremely well with the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Night Pressed Serum.
Pros:
Dehydration-quenching texture that goes on smooth.
Doesn’t feel tacky once it sets.
Layers well under other products.
Cons:
Despite the name, hyaluronic acid isn’t the lead hydrator.

I'm a sufferer of chronic pain and chronic migraines. Because of a lifetime of excruciating pain, I have been on a number of opioids and creative pain management regimes. I currently get botox injections to assist with my frequent and intense migraines, however, this doesn't get rid of them all.
Even with the botox injections, I still frequently start to see auras and lose partial feeling in the left side of my body. The moment I feel these symptoms coming on, I pop two Advil Extra strength liqui-gels and the relief is so quick! Within an hour I am migraine and symptom free...it's amazing! These things work wonders and I highly recommend them to anyone suffering from headaches or migraines!

I was sent this product free in exchange for my unbiased review.
I enjoyed how easy this product was to use - the pump dispensed the perfect amount for a single use. It was simple to use and smelled very similar to the oil. The scent is quite light and doesn't linger, which I was really keen on (I am not a fan of products that are heavily scented, especially when it comes to products that are meant to clean my skin).
It exfoliated gently and didn't hurt my skin - it felt quite nice and invigorating.
I do tend to have sensitive skin, so I was a little concerned when I first started using the cleanser and the oil, but I didn't run into any issues at all. I continued my regular moisturizing routine nightly after using both products, and my skin didn't dry out.
I was only able to test out the cleanser and the oil for about two weeks, so I didn't notice any visible results (I'm a 37 year old woman, so thankfully I don't have a ton of wrinkles just yet!). I'm interested in seeing if it does help firm up my skin and reduce the lines I do have.
Overall it felt nice on the skin, and it wasn't overly drying or harsh, so I would recommend giving it a try!

I received this product free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest and candid review.
As far as headaches go,this stuff really does work. I'm prone to tension headaches and killer migraines, and my usual go-to is Extra Strength Advil.
I don't like to mess around with different treatments, and once I find something that works, I stick with it. Typically my migraines come on fast and if I don't take something within the first twenty minutes of noticing symptoms, then I'm stuck with a pounding head for hours (and a plethora of other not-so-fun symptoms).
The Extra Strength Tylenol Rapid Release Gel Caps definitely did the trick. They kept my migraine at bay, and I was able to go on with my day. I would highly recommend grabbing a bottle of these and keeping them handy if you're prone to headaches like I am!

I received this product free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest and candid review.
I should preface this review by explaining that I was actually supposed to try the Pomegranate Raspberry juice, which I was really looking forward to, being a huge fan of pomegranate and raspberry. However, after venturing to eleven different stores in search of the pomegranate raspberry flavor, I finally had to admit defeat. Because the coupon entitled me to any flavor of the Snapple beverage, I decided to select the Peach Tea.
This drink certainly lives up to the Snapple name, delivering the crisp, refreshing flavor you would expect. It was light and just peachy enough to not be overpowering. And the bottle being made of plastic and no longer being so heavy (and breakable), was a definite bonus. It looks EXACTLY the same - before I picked up the bottle I could have sworn it was still made of glass.
I would definitely buy this again, and I will continue to look for the pomegranate raspberry juice - I am determined to try it!

A while ago I started suffering from excruciating charlie horses - these things were debilitating and started preventing me from working out, walking...even sleeping became a challenge.
My doctor told me that I needed to drastically increase my intake of electrolytes. I didn't even know this could be an issue. Well apparently I wasn't getting enough from the sports drinks I was consuming (and to be honest I was getting sick of drinking so many sports drinks), so I started looking for creative ways to get my electrolyte intake up.
Enter nuun tablets.
These things are great. They give your water a bit of flare, a bit of fizz, and a bit of dazzle. The flavor isn't overpowering, and it isn't too sugary sweet like a lot of water flavoring products on the market.
This stuff did exactly what it was supposed to - gave my water a delicious boost, and created a speedy system to get electrolytes absorbed into my system. They aren't the cheapest, but if you look at the cost of sports drinks, they aren't too bad at all.
Great for a boost, but probably not something you'd want to put in your water 6 times a day!

I finally gave in and decided to try this brow product that I had heard was infinitely better than all the rest. To be honest, I'm lucky in that I have never over-plucked my eyebrows or had to worry about shaping or filling in.
I was blessed with a great shape, and even more importantly, I was blessed with the good sense to leave them the heck alone! So all I really needed in terms of brow maintenance was a bit of gel to keep those wild hairs at bay and a teensy bit of color to maybe fill in any spots that might not be looking quite as 'lush'.
This product is just perfect. The product itself, as well as the applicator, allow for lots of control when applying to your brows. You can put on as much or as little as needed, and you won't come out looking like someone colored in your brows with a sharpie.
It also has a light (but effective) finish, so you won't feel like you've put hairgel in your eyebrows! Definitely a great product for those who need a little and those who need a lot of eyebrow help!

For someone who had never delved into the world of cream blush, I can't believe how quickly I fell in love!
I tried the color 'Puff', which is a subtle light pink, and it was just perfect. It gives a muted but healthy glow, that is completely customizable at the swipe of a finger. I can use a brush to apply the cream blush, but I don't need one, which is nice.
This stuff is easy to work with, goes a long way, and soaks right into the skin, looking really natural instead of just sitting on top of the skin the way a lot of products tend to.
If you're hesitant to try a cream blush because you haven't worked with one before or you're not sure how you'll like, it, I'm here to tell you to go ahead and try it! You'll love it! I'm sure not all cream blushes are created equal, but Glossier makes exceptional products, so I would definitely stick with quality and give them a shot.
