This plug in is able to scent the entire main level of my home with that air freshener smell. It was easy to assemble, and took about 6 hours of being in the outlet before it initially kicked in but after that every time I put it in the wall it worked immediately. I love how I can have the scent when it's plugged in, but if I'm going to bed or just want a break it goes away as soon as I unplug it (compared to sprays or potpourri style ones that are constant). The only downside is that the kit I got came with the "crisp linen" scent which was a strong detergent laundry smell that just doesn't appeal to me. It smelled like a clean house, but I'll prefer to buy the refills that are fruity, dessert, or maybe flowers. (Got this product free) -

I have the shade Medium Brown and it's perfect for my dark brows. I usually use a pencil to make them more bold, but this with a stiff eyebrow brush is really easy and looks natural. I have nice sculpted brows and this just adds the exclamation point and makes me look prettier. It's a thick/stiff pomade and not liquidy or gel-like. I can tell this pot is going to last me forever too, and I think I get less brow fallout when I apply compared to a pencil. -

The only lip colour I'll ever need! I've been searching for a stay-put all day lip colour that doesn't transfer off and this is it everybody! I have the red shade "slay", and I got it in a Bella Pierre kit with the matching lip liner and a clear gloss tube. The lip colour comes with a wand and goes on easily and dries so fast you don't have to keep your mouth open long. It's brilliant b/c it isn't like a coating of colour on top of my lip that flakes and makes ugly crease lines after an hour like other brands; this one is like a lipstick stain that just becomes your lips. I used it the first day and LITERALLY had 8+ hours of perfection... and it doesn't come apart, it just subtly fades after 8+ hours and even then looks ok. I had it on and ate food, brushed my teeth, and had lots of coffee and still had gorgeous red lips. The clear gloss prevents it from transferring, I out of habit used an eos balm ontop at one point and that made the colour transfer onto cups... but magically still had the red lips on me. So use their gloss if you don't want matte. Also made my lips less dry throughout the day, and I didn't have my usual peeling/chapped lips. Gonna go out and buy at least 2 more colours for the daytime. Never buying/believing any other lip brand again. -

It does make lashes look thicker than they are, especially the more coats you apply. It's not goopy but it clumps them together in a way that makes them look bigger. Very waterproof and stayproof. I noticed that it stays so much that at night I have to wipe more remover on my lashes to remove its lash cluster clumps. I think it's a good quality thickening mascara, but I also have tried a better mascara in a different brand for half the price... it's not better than my old fave. -

It just doesn't work for me, why??? When I first apply it and it has dried (dries quick) it looks fine and full coverage and doesn't transfer at all. But on me this look is good less than an hour. I'm getting the dried colour moving out of my natural creases in my lips so they look stripey. And then it wears off from the inner part of my mouth, and then starts getting gritty looking around the corners of my mouth, sometimes leaving a lip liner of product left.
I've researched and tried all the tricks to it: exfoliating my lips, adding balm, using lipliner first, putting on a thin coat/ or putting on a thick coat, going dab-dab-dab with a finger to dry it, keeping my mouth open/ or closed when it's drying, applying foundation on my lips first....ugh
For me Rimmels Stay Matte lip was more long lasting and less transferable. Provocalips left some colour on my coffee mugs after I applied the gloss. I'm going to try out more brands.
I tried Wish Upon a Berry, which was an opaque mauve, was nice casual/daytime colour on me.

This gave me a thin application but stuck really well to my nails without peeling and chipping. It was fantastic as a topcoat over the Vinylux colour and sealed it in well. I also did some testing out on bare nails and that's where I could see how it dries thinner than the application looked wet. Without the base colour it doesn't stick as well and gives a small amount of peeling when scraped, but it doesn't peel off in one big chunk like I get with my big salon bottles of clear coat. I would recommend 2 coats if you're using it as clear coat with no colour underneath.
It's fantastic as the topcoat it's marketed as, and helped give my colour hardness, minimal chipping after 4 days, and still-river-reflecting-like-glass shine. #gotitfree with ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

I really loved how well the colour stuck to my nails without chipping. I got to try out the pinky coral shade called Tropix and it was a really pretty and popping vibrant colour, but not overly bold. I was super impressed by how shiny it stays after drying, a super liquid shine even without topcoat (but I still topcoated it anyway). It has ample coverage and fills the nail like flooding on a sugar cookie without any streaking.. There was minimal fumes/odour and it took about 5 minutes for each coat to dry.
When dry my nails were slippery smooth and hard as ever (no bending at the tips), and it made me want to play them like a washboard. There were no chips on my fingers for a solid 4 days, which is way way better than other colours from Sally/Opi/etc that last about 2 hours with my lifestyle. This version is way more durable and resists chipping so I can actually wear colour on my fingers and still use my hands for a lot of tough jobs or feel covered at work or events. Would recommend it completely. #gotitfree from ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

I've found this at the Red Apple and at Dollar Tree, and it's exactly like Crystal Light but 1/3 the price. It comes in both the pack of 6 individuals for drinking bottles, or the pack of 3 that makes pitcher sizes. I've liked all the flavours so far (peach iced tea, cherry, raspberry, mixed fruit...). I love products that are calorie free, and this is a great non-carbonated and non-caffeine drink to have. Especially with the pitcher size I like to mix a little less water than recommended to make it more flavourful. -

I have the tall standing container one and keep it beside my bathroom sink in the winter to stop dry skin on my fingers. It's a very thick formula, the glycerin soap of lotions. It's harder to rub in than other lotions, so it wouldn't work as a body lotion. But it's this thick stay-putness that makes it perfect for the hands b/c it doesn't disappear but leaves a protective layer on the hands. -
