I really liked this sunscreen. I've used it everyday since I've got it, and so far I'm really enjoying it. It feels quite mositurizing actually, and I've used just this suncreen under my makeup on somedays.
I do find that if I don't use a really good primer, it messes with my foundation.
But I like that this sunscreen blends really easily into the skin, and doesn't make it feel greasy. It really does feel more like face cream rather than sunscreen.
I have a small breakout right now, which is unusual for me. I'm not sure if it's the suncreen or me forgetting to take my makeup off one night.
I might recommend a different sunscreen for your face if you wear really heavy foundation.

The hydro gel cream is $20.00, and although I liked the product, I don't think I would spend that much for it.
It instantly melts into your skin and makes it FEEL soft, but I don't think it necessarily hydrates or moisturizes your skin. My skin was soft to the touch, but it still felt a little tight.
I have normal/oily skin, but I didn't notice that it left my skin feeling hydrated.
I think it'd be a good moisturizer for a smaller price point, but it's definitely not worth $20.00.

Neutrogena All-in-One Make-Up Removing Cleansing Wipes

I'm normally not one to gravitate towards makeup wipes. I usually use micellar water or oil to remove my makeup. But I forgot how handy these makeup wipes can be, especially if you're tired at the end of the night.
It removed all my makeup, even stubborn waterproof mascara. I'd use my other makeup remover to see if there was anything left, and generally, there wasn't.
I enjoyed that these makeup wipes didn't leave any weird residue on your face or make your skin feel dried out.
If you love makeup wipes, I would definitely recommend these. I feel like they are a bit pricey, you get 7 wipes for $3.00 which works to about 50 cents per wipe. I'd like more wipes for the price.

I got this concealer on a whim because it was on sale. I normally dislike twist applicators on concealers, but this has a brush applicator and I actually really enjoy it. It feels like you have a lot of control, and a little goes a long way.
I like that this almost has a yellow undertone to it so it gets rid of your dark circles. It's pretty easy to blend, although I do think you have to work quickly with it or it might dry on you.
I've been pleasantly surprised with this concealer, and it's my new favorite drugstore concealer. Bye-bye Fit-Me! I'd definitely recommend this concealer.

I didn't notice any changes in my skin when I started to use this cleanser. It basically did the job. But I do look for a little more in my face cleanser. I wish this left my skin looking a little more glowy or refreshed.
I did enjoy that this cleanser didn't break me out and it didn't leave my skin red or tight. I also like the packaging!

This is one of the worst moisturizers I've ever used. I was really excited to use Aveeno because normally their products are quite nice.
This moisturizer was SO hard to blend in, it felt like there was some glue in it. I've never had a problem blending moisturizer in before, it was so strange. It left a white residue on my face in some spots, so I had to blend it in even more. It left my skin feeling DRYER than before.
I used it three mornings in a row just to make sure. One morning I put it on before makeup and my makeup has never looked so patchy, cakey, and texturized before.
I have normal to oily skin, and this left my skin feeling dryer. So if you have dry skin, do not buy this.

So from my understanding, this spray is supposed to give your hair minimal hold and texture. I was really excited to try it because I love curling my hair and using some sort of texture spray to get that 'messy' look and I hate how stiff your hair can look with too much hairspray.
I curled my hair and started spraying, and it looks like nothing ever happened. I wasn't expecting a lot of hold in my hair because it's 'hold level 1', but this added no grip to my hair. I even flipped my hair upside down and sprayed my curls and roots and fluffed it up, and nothing!
I have shoulder length wavy hair that's more on the thinner side, but I can't imagine it's my hair type that's not allowing this product to work.
I wouldn't recommend this spray to anyone. The only reason I'm giving it some points is because I really liked the packaging and I liked that the bottle was a little smaller and more condensed.

I got these three teas - Lemon Ginger, Summer Fruits, and Mango Peach to try for free. All of them were seriously delicious. The Mango Peach is fruity but not too sweet, the Lemon Ginger had the perfect amount of lemon and ginger, and the Summer Fruits was super sweet and fruity. It seriously tasted just like kool-aid. I liked that these teas can be served cold as well. I can really picture myself drinking Summer Fruits and Mango Peach as a cold drink in the summer. If you love tea, try these ones out. -
