The flawless hair remover for eyebrows (blush) was very sleek and aesthetic (I kept confusing it for my mascara, so it definitely blends in well on the vanity) and is very comfortable to hold, but unfortunately those are the only good things about it.
I really wanted to like this as an alternative to plucking my eyebrows but it was just completely ineffectual. You have to pull your skin very taut for it to work, and even then it requires multiple passes over the same area of skin to remove any hair- and even after multiple passes there were still hairs remaining. I tried it a couple more times but it just does not work well and you still have to pluck the several remaining hairs, making it pretty useless. I could not recommend this to anyone unfortunately.

I received the Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Anti-Aging Serum complimentary for testing purposes.
First off, I like that this comes in a vacuum pump-style container which keeps the active ingredients from degrading, especially since it contains vitamin C which is otherwise prone to oxidation. The serum itself has a very light pleasant scent and a light-to-medium lotion consistency. On initial application it gives skin a subtle dewy sheen but it absorbs quickly. I haven't noticed any difference in my skin yet, but it's still early and I would expect to see results in a few weeks given the ingredients (especially the vitamin C, niacinamide, and ferulic acid).

I received the Aveeno Tone + Texture renewing night cream complimentary for testing purposes.
I like that the product comes in a jar, making it easy to take as much product as needed and allows you to actually use up all the product without difficulty. The night cream itself is completely unscented, which is great for those who do not like fragrance in their skincare, although I personally prefer it when my body cream is scented. It has a relatively thick consistency but is quite easy to spread over skin and seems to absorb quickly. Right after application skin feels plump and hydrated, but I couldn't notice any difference in the morning, and did not notice any lasting differences in my skin. Overall, it is a solid body night cream.

I recieved the Garnier Green Labs Brightening Pinea-C 3-in-1 Serum Cream SPF 30 complimentary for testing purposes.
I really like the idea of this product, with the combination of vitamin C and sunscreen, since you do need to use sun protection when using a vitamin C product as it sensitizes your skin. I do use a sunscreen daily anyway, but this is a great idea for people who want a quicker and easier skin routine in the morning. The product is a bit thick and leaves an oily residue, so I do have to use some powder on top. Also important to note that the scent is quite strong, for people that are sensitive to fragrances. It left my skin feeling hydrated and plump. Overall I do like this product and would recommend it for people who prefer a simple skincare routine.

I received the ATTITUDE Super Leaves Natural Deodorant, Red Vine Leaves complementary for testing purposes.
First off, I really liked the packaging- it comes in a pretty cardboard cylindrical tube that you push up from the bottom. I like that it's recyclable. The product is easy to apply but it does need to be rubbed in or else there is some residue. It has a very pleasant scent. Unfortunately it only protects against odor for a couple of hours. I do like that it is natural and without aluminum, but the odor protection is not strong enough for me to continue using.

I received this complimentary for testing purposes #gotitfree.
First of all, I absolutely love the artwork on this, it's beautiful! As with all of the other Batiste dry shampoos, this works so well. Unlike some other dry shampoo brands, the spray is very intense so it only takes a couple of seconds to apply the product, and once you rub it into your hair there is no white cast and the oil is instantly gone, no waiting time for it to dry like some other dry shampoos. The only thing I don't like about this is the smell as it is quite strong, with a perfume-like scent. If you like strongly scented hair products this would be perfect though, because it is otherwise an amazing dry shampoo.

I'm a big fan of Mott's Clamato Extra Spicy so I was excited to try this. I’m someone who really likes a kick in their drink so I was hoping this was similar. Unfortunately it isn't. Although different I did come to enjoy the taste, texture and heat. The heat is a slow build up over drinking that I wouldn't call spicy but warms the throat. The taste is a bit more subtle and slightly dilute but is good for drinking over longer periods of time. The texture is very smooth which I quite enjoyed, but also had small amounts of roasted jalapeno which gave an extra kick with every sip. If they had an extra spicy version I would jump at trying that out too!

I received this Schmidt's Lavender and Sage Mineral Enriched Natural Deodorant complimentary for testing purposes, but my opinions are my own.
First impression:
I was really excited to try this Natural Deodorant as it is a magnesium enriched formula with no aluminum salts, propylene glycol, and no artificial fragrance, and I definitely try to get the most natural deodorants I can. On first smell, I was in love! It has such a natural, calming, lavender scent, which was a refreshing change from the usual overly-artificial perfumed fragrance of most deodorants.
First try:
The instructions say to "hold product momentarily to skin to soften on contact with body heat", which I did- unfortunately the application did leave some small white fragments of deodorant on my underarms which I had to blend in, but there were no issues with pilling the rest of the day once I did that.
I was so happy with the scent, I kept surreptitiously smelling my underarms all day- such a nice fresh, natural fragrance, I absolutely loved it. It held out through a very long day at work, and no issues with odor or deodorant staining on my clothes.
Unfortunately, as they warn might happen on the product, I did develop some redness and irritation where I had applied the product. I was so disappointed as I otherwise really liked the deodorant, and have never found a deodorant that I enjoy the scent of more. I would definitely recommend trying this product out as skin sensitivities vary from person to person, and this is definitely a product worth giving a try!

First impressions:
This bottle of Motrin liquid gels contains 30 capsules, and since they are extra strength (400 mg) you only need to take one capsule, so this bottle will last for a while, making this a great value. The child proof cap is easy enough to open as an adult, and the capsules themselves are clear gel capsules with a liquid core.
First use:
So just like clockwork, that time of the month comes around when I need to reach for some pain relief, and give these new Motrin liquid gels a first try. I'm always annoyed when I get my first cramps near bed time as I have to wait for my pain medication to start working before I can actually fall asleep (and that usually takes quite a while the first night), so I take note of the time I first swallow the capsule (10:35 pm) and plan on seeing how long it takes before I can actually try to sleep. The capsules themselves are very easy to swallow (and I am the kind of person who buys chewable vitamins when possible), with no unpleasant taste. I get distracted doing some reading and fall asleep shortly thereafter, without even realizing my pain was gone (experiment ruined).
Second use:
So a few days later I have a (very) long day at work and get a tension headache- you know the kind, dull and achey and stubborn- so I decide to give the experiment another go. This time I keep track of how long it takes for the Motrin liquid gel to kick in, and I can see why I lost track and fell asleep so fast the first time- it was barely 15 minutes before I can feel the tension melt away and the headache dissipate!
Summary:
I have another usual headache and menstrual cramp go-to medicine that I've been using for years, but these Motrin liquid gels have knocked it out of my medicine cabinet (literally, I had another bottle of the other stuff on my shopping list and crossed it off after I tried these)- I can get to sleep so much faster after taking just one of these capsules, and no longer have to wait up for up to an hour waiting for the pain relief to kick in, and when your days are as busy as mine that extra sleep time is priceless! These are efficient, effective, and overall a great value, I'm glad I gave these a try!

This is the perfect nude palette--the colors are set up in horizontal rows for you to easily put together eye looks so you don't have to think about what colors go well together. The formula has the perfect amount of pigment-not too much on the initial go but builds great! Very blendable. A little chalkier than my favorite palette but all in all I would repurchase! Oh it also smells great (vanilla-y). -
