Got to try a tiny squeeze bottle - great travel size or something to keep in your purse.
It looks like it would include SPF but I think I always get that impression from the Clarins logo.
The scent is quite strong and flowery. Many people will have a problem with this. I definitely don't prefer flowery if my face cream is going to have a scent and this one is very pungent.
It has a light consistency which is why I would question why they named it a cream because I needed much more moisture from it. It wouldn't replace anything for me but I'll save it for hot, sweaty days in the upcoming months. I think this would be great for the summer because it is so light and has no leftover film and blends into the skin seamlessly.
Got it free in the ChickAdvisor ecobox.

I am more favourable of black and green tea. I steer away from sweet teas normally but I would prefer this as an iced tea...maybe throw it into a cocktail recipe.
Very fruity, very flavourful. Actual dried fruits in the mix with tea leaves. Takes a little longer than normal tea leaves to brew.
Quality tea bags. Nice packaging. I think it would be nice in a gift basket with tea accompaniments and a mug. It's a little fancy for me for an every day drinking tea.

It smells SO good! Very fruity, tropical and transports you to warm summer days or beach vacations.
I think it takes a while before you can notice a difference in hair for a product that claims to repair damage but I can say that it doesn't dry it out or weight the hair down.
The shampoo has a flip top opening and it is a clear gel liquid that lathers nicely.
Surprised that it's vegan and doesn't include all the bad stuff - a "natural" shampoo.
It makes me want to drink juice looking at it; the shampoo bottle looks like a juice bottle, including the colour.

Feels and smells like a medium thickness unflavoured yogurt. I may have preferred a slight scent. I keep expecting this cream to contain SPF and wouldn't be surprised if they introduced a new product with that.
It is a thick cream. I think there may be some people who would think the cream is too heavy for daytime wear. It feels very hydrating which is important right now in the winter but I would feel hesitant wearing this in the summer as it would feel too heavy.
The more you rub it into your skin, the more it tingles. Especially around sensitive areas, you can feel the tingle and sting but it doesn't last. After about a week of use - once in the morning and once before bed, the thinner areas around my eyes are raw and sensitive. It hurts to put any product on those areas and it seems to have made my skin rough and patchy but not flaky. The Retinol SA may be too harsh for my skin.
The product says it will: "regenerate, moisturize, and smooth skin."
Regenerate - yes I think this cream does this.
Moisturize - yes.
Smooth skin - personally, I think my skin looks worse after using this wrinkle cream. The bags under my eyes look grey because the skin is rough and patchy and it seems to enhance my pores and make my skin look dull. I stopped applying face makeup the last few days because it made my face look terrible and I just wanted my skin to heal and go back to normal.
I've stopped using the cream all over my face after a week because the areas around my eyes were burning whenever anything came in contact with my skin (facial mists, aloe, etc). I continue to apply the cream around the edge of my face and the lower portion of my face but completely avoid the T-zone area and undereyes (where the wrinkle cream is most needed).

Peter Thomas Roth - Skin to Die For Mineral-Matte CC Cream

I am currently tanned since summer started so the Tan shade matches my skin colour but in the winter I am just a tad darker than the Medium shade but i just throw some bronzer on.
Such a quick and easy application with fingers or brush - I usually just dab 3 spots on my cheeks and chin and then blend. A little goes a long way for a natural, sheer to medium coverage. It's very light in consistency but not watery so you don't feel it on your face and it looks very natural - matte but not dry and clingy.
I don't use a heavy moisturizer before using this as when I do, it tends to get greasy and oily around lunch time.
I tend to touch my face a lot and it does wear off the later it is into the day. I'm sure I can use primer and setting powder for a more lasting face.
I really like this product because it's so easy and quick to use and luckily, my skin colour fits within the 2 darker shades.
It is probably not going to be suitable for a lot of the general population though.

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better™ CC+™ Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 Fair

The colour shade matches my skin very well. I could probably be medium to neutral medium. The product is very thick and full coverage. I have only applied using my fingers but will try applying using a brush. Feels light on the skin even with the full coverage.
Definitely a matte finish and holds up all day with no oil or shine.
The con: the product clings to every imperfection - every little hair, every little bump or crevice, any dry skin or unevenness.
You should exfoliate and fully moisturize before applying this CC cream and probably use a pore-minimizing primer. Definitely wouldn't use a powder on top as it seems like it would cake all over.
The product does not make my pores look any smaller and seems to maybe accentuate them.
I really like IT Cosmetics because of their skin benefits, ingredients and SPF but this CC cream is not replacing my Peter Thomas Roth - skin to die for CC cream. I might try the SPF 50 without the matte but I am not expecting anything much different.
This would be great for someone who's skin texture is perfect with no pores.

Only need to take 1 to relieve my pain and it kicks in pretty quickly. I would probably only need to take 2 if I've got a serious injury or pain that prevents me from sleeping or wakes me up from sleep. I know there are some people who take specific pain relievers to be effective and I am not one of them; I can take any brand for effectiveness.
Great for: muscle aches, headaches, shoulder and neck soreness from sitting at a desk infront of the computer, great for "that time of the month" cramps and probably sunburns.

This lotion is actually the most effective thing for dry skin! There is basically no scent and it soaks into the skin with no sticky or greasy residue. Serious winter dryness is wiped away with the use of this lotion.
I have stocked up on this product. They should make it into a massive bottle and I would hoard that too.
I still use other lotions so I can ration the good stuff but when I really need a punch of effective moisture for dry skin, this is where I go.
I should mix this with my other lotions for a different scent.
I love this lotion.

I received 2 of these bottles from a free giveaway at the mall. It's a fairly thick glass bottle with a squishy white topper that sucks up the product about midway. I can never fully clear the topper out.
I had no information about the product before and didn't look up anything about it after I got home but I've been using it like a moisturizing serum (I generally like moisturizing skincare products).
Sometimes I used the drops on their own before makeup and sometimes I would apply moisturizer after. I liked that it didn't require the moisturizer and I enjoyed the feeling of my skin after using the infusion drops.
I looked up the price of this product and if I had purchased it, I would be using it a lot more sparingly compared to how I use it now.
I use 3 squirts of the applicator on each cheek and my forehead and the product goes pretty quickly.
I don't know exactly what or if it has made a change in my skin, but I like using the product, I enjoy the scent, it doesn't irritate my skin and it doesn't leave my skin dry.

I had tried the foot mask before hand and I was anticipating similar results but did not find the hand mask as effective as the foot one, probably because of frequent hand washing.
My hands are fairly dry - the skin around my nails is frequently peeling but I just need to consistently/constantly lotion and my hands would look nice.
I used 1 glove on 1 hand so that I could see the difference. I also wore it to bed but apparently I got annoyed with it at some point in the night and tore it off and threw it to the side.
The day after using the glove mask, my hand looks the same and I do not feel a difference from the other hand that did not use a mask. Still very dry. But this is probably due to frequent hand washing with drying soap at work.
I think it could be more effective if you put the CICA cream on the hands and then inserted them into the glove mask but the glove just did not work out for me. Just like the foot mask, I would be more inclined to re-use these with my own lotions/creams.
