I really do like the over all scent of this perfume, but at least for me I find that the staying power is rather short lived for such a high-end product. Perhaps it was just the quality of the sample I got, but I've had other more inexpensive perfumes last a lot longer. I do like it otherwise, very light and unique in terms of notes as compared to my usual preferences. Give it a try, it may work out for you. -

I got this as a sample and perhaps that might have been part of the issue, however I found that for a foundation it was far too runny and very difficult to work with. It also didn't blend well with my skin, as I found that it oxidized rather quickly. So on initial application it was a truer match, but within 5 minutes there was a distinct orange hue to it. I had high hopes for this, but sadly it didn't meet expectations. -

I'm not someone who's crazy about large bristle wands when it comes to Mascara so when I was able to try out this wand, I was thrilled at its presentation. Additionally, the way it is shaped is perfect for left or right hand application and both top and bottom lashes. It's unique and it works. The formula is also fantastic, one of my favourites when it comes to high-end products and has already been repurchased twice over and added in to my stash. Love it! -

This is a fantastic drugstore mascara and one I've recommended several times over. The want is fantastic for application and works with adding volume and length to my lashes. This is one of the items that is on my repurchase list and is also one I've given away as gifts to friends. One of my favourites for long wearing effectiveness without having to wear fake lashes. -

I bought this product on a whim as I'd been going through several different makeup removers to give them a try and see how my skin responded, in addition to how well they were removing the makeup from my eyes and face. This one by far is one of my favourites for the overall price, quality and effectiveness at removing the products. Not only that, it also doesn't irritate my eyelid skin like so many other wipes in this category do. It's cheap (around $4 CDN) and well worth it. I've already repurchased these several times over. -

I recently received a small sample of this and have rather enjoyed the scent. Opium has been around for years but was never one that I thought to check out until now. It's one that, although isn't my first 'has to have', it is one that I do enjoy. It lasts rather well throughout the day without being overpowering and is one that I've received many compliments on either within the office, or out and about. Musky, it fits well with a fall/winter context or in general for those who like these types of scents. -
CoverGirl Smoochies Lip Balm

I received my first one of this in a sample box some time ago and thought to give it a try. I'll be the first to admit that I am not a large balm fan, however I've already used up my first one of these and gone on to bought a replacement. I not only love how they feel on my lips, but the taste/scent is also great and the packaging is unique and very very cute. Price is a bit steep for a lip balm, but worth it (EOS for reference seems to have a cheaper price point in most cases). Definitely a repurchase for me. -

I received this perfume as a sample and thought to try it over the span of a few days. Generally speaking I love Elizabeth Arden scents, and although I enjoyed this one in that category its lasting power left something to be desired. Putting it on in the morning before heading out to work, I found that it was gone if not by the time I was in the office (about an hour later), it was by mid-morning. I'm not against re-applying and know that perfumes fade over the course of a day, but this just seemed far too quick for what is considered a 'high end' perfume. -

I found this product to be fairly good. My skin, being somewhat sensitive to certain creams, didn't have any sort of reaction and overall, felt better for it. I'm not sure if, at this point, I've noticed any significant changes in wrinkles or puffiness, but to be fair I don't have a lot of either at this point. I do like the texture of the cream, it absorbs well and doesn't feel greasy or tacky as it soaks in.
Overall, I quite enjoyed this and will likely purchase more of it down the road.

I use hand cream on a daily basis and wanted to give this item a try since it came up at the local dollar store. Overall, it's an average product as both the scent and feel of the product left me feeling that other products I have are far more effective and have a much more pleasant scent to them.
Packaging is a bit problematic or at least less conducive to get out the cream than a standard tube... cute but cumbersome.
