I don't wear lip color and my morning routine is very simple, so I really appreciate the nice hint of soft pink color this product adds to my lips. It moisturizes very well and the scent is light and pleasant. It's a great product for day time.

I didn't like this product initially. I felt that it left a film on my face and a sticky, unpleasant feeling behind. I shelved it and didn't revisit it until a few months ago.
What I discovered was that I needed to use this as the first step in a double cleanse. It works wonderfully to remove make up and grime, but definitely needs to be rinsed off and followed with a cleanser after. Now that I've discovered that I use it every night and it is an important part of my routine. It gets all the grime off and preps the skin for a gentle, very cleanser that may not get everything off on it's own. Great drugstore product!

I have a horrible time finding a moisturizer that doesn't break me out and can't use the Cerave AM or PM moisturizers. I think the culprit may be niacinamide, which this particular Cerave product doesn't contain. Even though this seems to be a body lotion I definitely recommend it for a facial moisturizer if you have sensitive or breakout prone skin. It spreads nicely and absorbs well, leaving skin moisturized without feeling greasy or tacky and make up applies over top very nicely. -

These have a very interesting vanilla flavour. They almost taste like a vanilla pudding or cake, very dessert like. They don't have an artificial vanilla flavour or any cloying sweetener taste. The texture is wonderfully smooth and creamy without any being chalky or unpleasant (the way some protein shakes are).
These are effective as a protein shake and kept me feeling full. What I liked them for the most though was using as a coffee creamer! I first tried them as sort of a café au lait style drink and added the shake to coffee almost half and half. It was perfect. A nice coffee taste with the perfect amount (for me) of vanilla flavour and sweetness. I did end up drinking an entire shake with coffee over the course of a morning and it was great as a coffee creamer and did help me feel full and satisfied until lunch time. Double duty!
The recipes on the Premier Protein website look amazing and make me want to run out and buy these ASAP!

I was pleasantly surprised in the taste and texture of these protein shakes. The chocolate flavour was very nice and they were just the right amount of sweet without the artificial sweetener taste being overwhelming (something I have disliked in similar products). They were very smooth and not at all chalky.
I decided to test these out on a busy morning before taking my 4 year olds to a library activity. I knew I wouldn't have time to eat until after lunch and didn't want to be a "hangry" monster mom during their first day in the program, haha. The size of the product was perfect, very easy to drink quickly. The packaging is great also. We went to our activity and I definitely felt satiated and was not distracted by hunger at all. I stayed feeling full until we got home a few hours later. This shake definitely got me through the morning.
I would only hesitate to buy these again because of the price. But after reading through the Premier Protein website and seeing all the fun recipes and different things you can do with them I really do want to pick up more. They are a really great and versatile protein shake.

I mainly use concealer to cover blemishes so I wanted something with acne fighting properties. I decided on Almay Clear Complexion Concealer because it contains ingredients like aloe, chamomile and salicylic acid.
I really like how this product covers and it definitely seems to help calm blemishes and reduce the healing time. It feels very soothing for a make up and reduces redness for me.
I'm not used to a liquid concealer with a wand so that part has taken a little getting used to for me. I also don't like touching a concealer wand to my face and then putting it back in the bottle because that can transfer bacteria. I have been putting the product onto a concealer brush and applying it that way with great results. A little goes a lot way and with a little practice and some layering it offers awesome, natural looking coverage. Definitely recommend and will repurchase!

This pressed powder contains salicylic acid and is non-comedogenic so it's a great choice for acne prone skin. It helps to reduce the appearance of pores, unevenness and skin imperfections.
I have sensitive acne prone skin and have a hard time finding products that don't irritate my skin, even when they are made specifically for sensitive skin. I decided to give this product a try without expecting much in the way of actually improving my skin and was hoping that at the most it wouldn't cause more breakouts. I have been really impressed and pleasantly surprised with this product. It is a great pressed powder, offers decent coverage and has not broken me out at all. I have recently made quite a few changes to my skincare routine and my acne and imperfections have improved a lot, so I can't say for sure that it is because of this product alone. It is definitely an all around great pressed powder for sensitive acne prone skin and will remain part of my make up routine. One small draw back is that it is quite a small amount of product for the price.

I like this dry shampoo because it is really effective and soaking up the oil on my roots without leaving any annoying white residue. It definitely adds lift to roots but does leave them feeling very stiff. I wouldn't use it every day as I imagine it would leave buildup after awhile but it's great to use when you want to get an extra day before washing your hair. Because of the price and the lack of white residue I would definitely recommend this stuff. -

I tired all 3 Gliss Ultimate Repair products together so it's a bit hard to say which one made the biggest difference but I do think the Express Repair Conditioner was the one that stood out the most. It was very light and sheer feeling going on and it didn't weigh my hair down at all. It also made it a breeze to detangle. The scent is pleasant and my hair was very soft and manageable after it dried.
Of all 3 products this is definitely the one I am most likely to repurchase. A little really went a long way and it is great for keeping the frizz down in my waves or as a leave in before straightening. The packaging is very sleek as well and looks great on my shelf :)

This Gliss conditioner was awesome. I'm not sure how "repairing" it is but it definitely left my hair feeling very soft and healthy. I did notice that I seemed to have way less breakage and less shedding after use as well. A little went a long way and seemed to distribute through my hair very evenly and thoroughly. It rinsed out very well and didn't leave behind a greasy or slimy feel like some keratin products I have tried.
It had a wonderful scent that isn't overpowering. The black and gold packaging is very attractive. I find the price a tad high for a drugstore brand but it did perform better than most so I would definitely consider buying this again.
