So this is another product from Now that works great but I feel like it could use a bit of a revamp. I wasn’t a fan of the scent and the scent lingered for hours afterwards. I also didn’t like the way it made my skin feel. My skin felt wet and like the cream didn’t absorb yet at the same time my skin also felt very tight as though I had glue on it or something. So make sure you only use a little dab of cream. For the amount you get the price is great and it did send men to do its job as promised I just couldn’t get past the scent and the way my skin felt after application. The bottle is easy to use and the cream spreads nicely. -

So first of all I’ll start off by stating that this cream does work well, it’s very hydrating and does it’s job. However that being said it’s not for me. The pump is super easy to use, a little goes a long way. Just make sure you only use a tiny dab of it because I found it felt funny on my skin. My skin felt wet and very tight for at least an hour after application. It felt like my skin was pulling if that makes sense. And when I’d touch my face it felt wet and dewy. Not to mention I wasn’t a fan of the scent either. I didn’t find it very pleasant and it lingered around for hours afterwards. But this is just my opinion I did see a difference in my skin and fine lines so this just might be a perfect product for you. On a positive note it’s not hard on your skin either -

First of all I love that this product is actually 3 wonderful products packaged in one cute easy to use bottle. It’s a gel moisturizer, hyaluronic acid serum and an energizing eye cream. A little goes a long way, once pump and a tiny bit of product came out and did my whole face. So it will definitely last a long time. So great bang for your buck. I love the fresh scent, it smells like Aloe Vera and brings me back to my childhood when my mom used to have an aloe Vera plant and anytime I’d hurt or cut myself she break off a leaf from her plant and rub the serum on my cut. It always seemed to make me better, so I do think aloe Vera has some sort of healing power to it. After application my skin felt great, there was no sticky residue or anything. It just melted perfectly into my skin and refreshed it. My skin felt soft and refreshed and I noticed a difference in the puffiness under my eyes. -

As a busy mom I don’t get to wash my hair as often as I’d like so dry shampoos have become my go to. I’ve tried many other dry shampoo brands and always come back to Batiste. The price is great and the product is great quality. The first thing I noticed about this particular shampoo was the beautiful scent. As soon as I sprayed my first spray I fell in love with the clean fresh natural scent. It isn’t too overpowering and lasts the whole day. The second thing that I really enjoyed about this dry shampoo is it didn’t make my head itchy. I’ve tried dry shampoos in the past where after about an hour I’m scratching my head and ready to dunk my head in water. This is not the case with this one. Not only did my head not itch but I also didn’t have flakes in my hair from it. A dry shampoo that doesn’t make flakes in your hair is awesome. It’s also super convenient and easy to take with you anywhere. Perfect for traveling or someone on the go. You don’t need water you just spritz it on, brush your hair and go. Super simple and time saving! It’s made with 100% natural plant extracts and that’s why I’m assuming it’s so great. It’s also vegan, comes in a recyclable can and uses 40% less packaging so that just adds to it’s awesomeness. Te size of the can for the price is also very affordable. Overall I’m very impressed and recommend you give it a try! -

I was super excited to receive the Finishing Touch Flawless to review. I have the old version and love it so I was curious to see how this one would compare I must say it’s even better! It’s still has compact and easy to hold and moves smoothly on any surface of your body. I know it’s for your face but it can also be used on your arms, legs, toes pretty much anywhere. It doesn’t hurt at all making it a better options than waxing and I find that the hair doesn’t grow back thicker and takes awhile to grow back. Now the difference from the first version is that there are now 2 rotating heads instead of 1 and I find this makes the job go much quicker. It’s still quiet and doesn’t make much noise. I also find that the light on this one shines a little brighter and covers a larger area of space while your using it. It’s compact design makes it fit perfectly in your purse, pocket or wherever you need to store it. Plus it’s very discreet so if your shy about using it nobody will know what it is. It looks like a tube of lipstick. Another plus of it being so compact is that you can bring this anywhere with you and use it anywhere and anytime. You could even bring it on vacation with you. I also love that is comes with a battery and a cute little brush to clean the hair out with. It’s very easy to clean and install the battery. Totally recommend this amazing product! -

Okay first of all I absolutely love the scent of this product! It’s such a pretty and pleasant smell that reminds me of something from my childhood, I just can’t pinpoint exactly what the smell is. Just to be clear it’s not an overpowering smell, it’s a gentle pretty aroma. It has great packaging with an easy to dispense pump. You only really need one or two pumps of product so a little goes a long way. So it’s great value for your dollars. The texture is wonderful and it absorbs quickly and smoothly into my skin leaving my skin feeling soft, hydrated and rejuvenated! The beauty of this product is it’s also 3 products in 1 cute little bottle. It’s a night cream, retinol serum and an eye cream all in one. I’ve been using for a little over a week and I definitely see a difference in my under eye circles. As a mom of 2 little ones I absolutely need my eyes and skin to feel rejuvenated and this product works beautifully on me. I’ve also seen a difference in the lines around my eyes and on my forehead. I definitely recommend you give this product a try. -

The pump on the container works wonderfully and the price for the amount you get is great. It has a creamy gel like texture and I originally pumped it onto a makeup remover swab thinking it was like my micellar water. One little pump of product went a really long way making this product an even more economical choice. I feel like my container will last a long time so I’d be getting my money’s worth. The scent of it is natural and pleasant. I didn’t mind the scent at all. It also felt really nice and hydrating on my skin. It didn’t dry out my skin and I didn’t feel the need to apply moisturizer after using it.
The reason I only gave 4 stars is it only removes light makeup. After I used it I still felt like I had makeup on so I used my usual Garnier Micellar water right after and it removed even more makeup that was still on my skin. So if your using strictly as a makeup remover this might not be the best product for you. However if your using as a cleanser only then it’s great.

Comes out like a jet stream, wouldn’t consider this a mist. I had to spray into my hands and then apply to my face. When I first opened it I tried spraying onto my face as I would normally do with a misting product and it was one solid stream in one spot and that’s not what I consider a mist. This also has the same odd smell as the other products in this line. Also just like the other products in this line I found that when I put it on my face it felt sticky and when it dried I found it didn’t sink into my skin. It felt like it was hardening on my face if this makes sense? Like my skin was tight. On a positive note for the price a little mist goes along way and it’s a line with 3 other products so one is bound to work for you. This facial mist contains hyaluronic acid and aloe vera, along with multi-fruit and cucumber extracts to instantly rehydrate and replenish your thirsty skin while diminishing the appearance of fine lines. So it could be a very helpful product if it had a better more gentle mist and better smell to it. -

I’d have to say that mascara is the one beauty item that I don’t leave the house without. As long as I have mascara on I feel confident. One thing I’ve noticed as I’ve aged is that my lashes aren’t as long and thick as they used to be. I’ve been using Covergirls Simply Ageless Lash Plumping 3in1 for about a week now and I hope by the 4 week mark I start to see a difference in my lashes. Hopefully I’ll have the thicker stronger and plumper lashes that this mascara promises. In the mean time let’s review the actual mascara. The brush is soft and curved and I love how the shape of the brush helps to coat every single lash which helps build volume. Although I will note that with only one coat all this mascara did was give me volume. It wasn’t until the second and third coats that it began to lengthen. So you will need to use a few coats for length and volume so one tube might not last that long. I should also mention that it’s a very light mascara and even with 3 coats it didn’t feel heavy or make me feel like washing it off. My lashes still felt very natural. I liked that it didn’t clump and it didn’t flake under my eyes after a long day of wear. I like how it’s a 3in1 formula, meaning it’s a primer, serum and mascara all in one so with one product your getting 3 benefits and it cuts down on the beauty products you need. I also noticed that I didn’t loose any lashes when washing it off. It’s fairly easy to wash off although when you have multiple coats on it does get a little messy when you wash it off. -

First off we absolutely love the very easy to use dropper. It makes it so simple to get the dose you want and administer it. The only issue we did have with the dropper version is that the top of the bottle is open so it’s easy to spill, especially if the kiddos get a hold of it. Our bottle came with the cutest little booklet explaining how the vitamin D3 works and why it’s useful. I always knew Vitamin D3 is instrumental in helping us build strong bones and healthy teeth but I never knew that getting D3 through foods is tough and that Vitamin D3 deficiency in children 6-12 is common. Thank you cute little booklet for this info. Getting my 6 yr old to take his vitamins is usually a battle but thanks to the hint of orange flavour and easy to use dropper he enjoys taking this one. And on the days when he’s not cooperating we just put a drop in his water. It doesn’t change the flavour drastically so he doesn’t even notice. My 17 month old loves it too and happily takes it every day. The dropper makes it super easy to give to her. With our daughter in daycare she picks up quite a few yucky colds and hopefully this D3 vitamin will help strengthen her immune system. I have very bad allergies myself and I heard this vitamin can help lower the risk of allergies and asthma in children. The beauty of this vitamin is that it’s great for infants up to teens and every age in between. I also like knowing it contains pure and safe ingredients that I can trust. And I’ll admit that I tried it to, I had to see what it tasted like before giving to my son and it actually has a pleasant taste and no aftertaste. My 6 yr old confirmed he didn’t have an aftertaste either. We will be purchasing again and adding this to our daily vitamin routine. -
