I received this product free from the ChickAdvisor Review Club
I was a little weary becuase I have deep/darl skin and I was worried that it would a) leave a shite cast on my skin (most days I go without foundation) and b) it won't really do anything to control the oil in my oily areas.
A) When I squeezed the product out of the tube I was disheartened because the product is white but it actually goes on clear like lotion. Actually that's how it feels, like you're applying a really light lotion to your skin. It goes on smooth and lays a nice canvas for your makeup. There were a couple days where I wore it completely by itself and I didn't notice my skin looking any smoother or my pores being any less visable. However, I did like the way my makeup looked on top and felt like it helped to make my makeup look a little more flawless.
B) Although this product doesn't claim to control oily I do always keep this in the back of my mind as I tend to get oily around my nose and eye areas especially in warmer temperatures. In case you're wondering, it doesn't control oily but it also doesn't add to (clog your pores so that it over produces oil).
I am impressed by this product and wasn't expecting to like it but I've been using every time I apply make up. I will definitely be trying other products from this line.

I received this product free from the Family Rated Review Club.
I have been using this sponge for a few weeks and I have mixed feelings about this sponge. The positive is that I really like the scrubby side of the sponge. I feel like it's durable and cleans the pots and pans really well without damaging your dishes. I also found that it rinses clean fairly easily and dries quickly as well, which I like which means there's not much opprtunity for it to get musty and gross.
What I didn't like is that I found that I had to use much more dish sopa than I normally would. I feel like this in partly due to how well it rinses clean. It doesn't hold on to the soap well so every few dishes I had to reapply.
So for that reason I don't think that I would purchase this product but I really liked the scrubbing side. If they fix the sponge side to be a little more retentive then I would definitely incoporate this product into my daily cleaning.

I will always give an honest review but I must say that I love Aveeno body washes and this one was no different. I really like the little exfoliating pieces in it. They exfoliate just enough to make your skin feel clean and soft, but not too much so as to irritate it.
The body wash lathers nicely and a little goes a long way which means that at $9.99 (SRV) and 18 fl. Oz. this is a really good value.
After use, my skin felt nice, soft and clean. Like the Aveeno Positively Radiant Body Lotion it has a nice light scent but not overpowering.

I received this product free from ChickAdvisor's Product Review club.
I have dry skin so I was excited to try this product as I know that Aveeno products are reliable. I've been using this lotion after I shower every morning and found that it was light but it moisturized very well. It absorbs quickly and it's not greasy at all.
I did, however, find that the moisture didn't last until the end of the day. By the end of the I noticed that my skin was dry (i'm black so it was ashy), although not itchy dry. I feel like partly it's because it's still cold where I am and the air is dry so I feel like this would be a summertime lotion for me. If you have severely dry skin this may not be the product for you, but I do feel like the lotion was doing good things for my skin. When I applied it my skin looked really nice, radiant, even, smooth and moisturized.
It has a nice light scent so if you have a problem with heavily perfumed lotions you should be ok with this one. I don't like strongly scented creams and they seem to irritate my skin. I did not have that problem with this lotion.
I recommend this product. It absorbs nicely and moisturizes well.

I received this product free from ChickAdvisor and I'm so glad that I did. I am really into skin care so I was looking forward to trying this product. I used it mainly in my night routine, but I also used it during the day a couple times as well and here is how it worked out for me.
Used as part of my night routine:
I tried it 3 different ways always with a toner underneath. The first way was by itself, the second with a moisturizer, and lastly with a moisturizer and sleep mask. The best way I found is by itself. Ihave combo/oily skin and I found it to be moisturizing enough that I didn't need another moisturizer with it, and as it was a leave on mask I didn't need another mask on top of it (also a little too moisturizer for the oilier parts of my face.
In the morning my skin would look well rested, smoother and glowing regardless of the amount of sleep that I got. I don't have a lot of skin issues but I focus the product around my eyes. I noticed that my under eyes were so dark in the morning and looked a little more hydrated.
Used as part of my day routine:
I used it underneath my moisturizer and make up. I didn't really have any bad experiences except that I found it to be a little too moisturizing since my skin tends to get oily in certain areas during the day, especially if I'm wearing makeup. What was good is that I didn't feel like it interfered with the application of my makeup (didn't break up my concealer, eye shadow, etc.)
My mother tried it as well and she loves it so much that it leaves permanently in her room. She uses it every time she washes her face and noted that she sees a difference in the corner of her eyes and a reduction of the crow feet area.
Overall Impression:
I really like Aveeno products. I like that this product uses natural ingredients. I felt that the mask was nourishing and hydrating my skin. I would expect to pay any where around $25-$30 for this product and I would definitely recommend it. It moisturizes, improves fine lines and nourishes the skin. Well worth the money.

I received this product in my February Boxycharm and I received the colour Amethyst.
I wasn't sure how to use this product or if I would like it very much because I'm not really into glitter, but I really like it. True to its name is leaves a really nice shimmer on your skin. I used it on my cheekbones and it looks SO pretty. Like a nice shimmery glow. I've also seen people use it on their eyes on top of their shadow or instead of it and it looks so nice. Cover FX never fails me, I love everything that I have tried from them. I highly recommend that you try.

This product was ok for me but it was my least favourite. These are usually the type of brow products that I like, spooly on one end and a click pencil on the other, but I found that this one wasn't as creamy as I like and the colour was a little too ashy for me. I normally use the Nyx Micro Brow pencil and this one is not comparable. -

I received this product in my March Ipsy bag.
I was looking forward to this because I have usually not into rose scented products but always wanted to try Andalou Naturals. The scent of this product is not overly heavy and the lotion is very moisturizing without being greasy. It absorbs nicely into the skin and leaving it feeling soft and hydrated with a nice light scent. I'm going on vacation soon and I threw this in my toiletries bag because it's perfect travel size. I am definitely willing to try more products from Andalou Naturals.

I received this product in my March Ipsy bag. I received the coconut flavour and have been using this product as a lip balm. I actually threw it in my travel toiletries bag since it's so multipurpose. It's really cold where I am right now and my lips have been crying out. I've been putting this on my lips at night as sort of a night time lip mask and it has really been making a difference in the softness of my lips and decreasing the chapiness (not sure if this is a word). This product is moisturizing without being waxy or greasy.
I have also been using it around my nail beds to help with the hang nails and it is really working well. I've seen a marked difference in the severity and amount of my hang nails.

I received this product in my March Ipsy bag. I need you all to understand that I have been using this highlighter EVERY DAY since I received it, to the point that I forgot what other highlighters I have. I received the shade Soda Pop and it is perfect for my dark/deep skin (think Viola Davis). It gives me such a nice natural glow that I been wearing just that and my concealer most days. -
