I enjoy using these infusion drops, another treat part of MAXGLOW line. It's a different formula, not a moisturizer, more like a lighter non sticky serum. The scent is pleasing to me. I've used some before my moisturizer, and after. These drops are another nice new product from Aveeno. They claim to even tone & texture + leave a dewy glow, and give skin a 48-hour lit-from-within glow. I sure hope so! I can definitely recommend you #tryAveenoMAXGLOW.

I received this in time for my vacation to Dubai, so it was ideal timing! I wondered if this ultra light body gel cream was more gel like or cream, and discovered it's a combo of both. It goes on like a gel, and isn't greasy. My skin (especially my hands), was so dry from our winter, and I needed quick moisturizing while at the beach, and this did it. I would agree that it instantly quenches for (clinically) proven supple, hydrated skin. I notice it says advanced facial hydration, but I didn't use it on my face. I applied it all over, especially on my legs. A key ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which is claimed to can hold up to 1000 X its weight in water. I'm pleased with the results from this new formulation.

Since I got it, I've been using this cream nightly, including my eye area. It's a hydrating formula that leaves my face moisturized, not dry. Contains 5% natural origin Rhamnose + vitamin C, mineralizing thermal water from French volcanoes, and 15 minerals. It's said to help correct the look of 5 types of wrinkles, so 👍. All I know from the few weeks of usage is my skin is soft from using, and it's replaced my daily eye cream. -

Containing pure retinol and hyaluronic acid, this concentrate is said to plump the skin and fill the look of deep lines. Sounds great to me! I've been using it daily since I received it, and enjoy the light consistency & pleasant scent. It's not greasy. The claim is that in 8 weeks, wrinkles are filled, and facial expressions are more relaxed. We shall see.

Mascara for your hair?! Of course, why not! I had the opportunity to #tryhairmascara by SchwarzkopfCa courtesy of Chickadvisor product review club. I was given chocolate brown, the colour closest to my natural brunette hair colour. I applied it on strands and roots. It applies easily, and disguised my greys. There are tiny pointed plastic bristles on the wand, and it goes on like mascara. As tempting as it may be, the warnings on the tube and the leaflet say it's not to be used on eyelashes or eyebrows. ;-)
My hairs did get wound up/caught in the wand. When I styled my hair, which involves touching it, it did stain my fingers. Not sure how long it had to dry. It didn't rain while I tested this, so not sure if it would run if you're caught in a downpour. $16 is rather high for a root touch up product, although this 16 ml tube would last a while. It's neat for a change, & if you're into experimenting and trying something different.

I like how this formulation is layered with a top moisturizing creamy layer and the bottom oil layer. It sprays on an express repair leave-in conditioner. It's for dry stressed hair with liquid keratin, and makes it easier to comb. I use it after it's been washed, and it leaves my colour treated hair silky soft. It's a different product to add to my hair styling routine. -

This is my first time trying a whitening cream, which here is fairness technology, claimed to leave a bright and even skin tone. It leaves my arms and legs paler/whiter when using, so it's the opposite results of a glowing, shimmer or self tan lotion that I'm used to.
I have used firming and anti-wrinkle products, and this very thick formula does leave a firm coating on my skin that lasts more than 24 hours. I can't say if it's anti-wrinkle for me, as I don't use it on my face. It's too dense for my face. The pomegranate and raspberry scent is nice, and it also has chamomile, tea extracts, natural kojic acid & titanium dioxide. If you want whiter and firmer skin, this would be a good choice.

Revlon nail enamel ELECTRIC
This is a bright, vivid pink fuschia colour that I like to wear all year round, at any season. Right now I have it on for Valentine's Day. With a glossy top coat, it shines and catches the shimmer. It's a classic and throw back to the 80's shade.
